Ember flopped onto her bed with a sigh, she hated being grounded , because it ment that you could do absolutely NOTHING. She couldn't watch TV, or play video games, or even be on her phone (which she had tried to get serval times now, only to have her mom send her back up to her room )
She wondered if Flash was having a better time then her
Flash wondered if Ember was having a better time then him. Mainly, because he was currently sitting in his room, kicking his feet off the bed and getting mocked by his sister, who was (as of today) not grounded anymore
"I TRIED to tell you it was a bad idea, but nooo you never listen to your sis, who is NOT grounded right now, cuz I didn't try to BREAK INTO our dad's workshop!"
"Oh, be quiet will you? Don't you think you tormented me enough already?"
"No" and with that, Sapphire skipped into her room, leaving an unhappy Flash still stuck in his room
That is, until he got an idea...
"For the record, this has got to be the second worst plan you've ever had" Sapphire told her brother
"Not if it works it won't be!" Flash said with a grin.
"What IS your plan, anyway?" Sapphire asked.
"You'll see!" he opened a box with a bird-looking thing in it
"What is that" "my robo bird, Spark!" "and you're going to do what with it exactly?" "Have an adventure!" He gave Spark a note and set it to Embers house "now we wait and see if it works"
Something smacked agenst Embers window "huh?" she got up, walked over to the window and opened it, and a bird zipped in
"Oh, its Flash's robo bird, but what's it doing here?" She wondered aloud
In reply, the bird landed in her hand and dropped the little piece of paper it was holding
"Oh! Thank you! Wait, why am I talking to a robot bird? oh well, it's not like anyone can hear me"
She took the piece of paper and read it "meet at the ninja squad base, bring our friends!" -your cousin Flash
"Yea right, I'm grounded" she said to herself with a huff "but..." "I bet nobody will even notice I left soo..." Ember jumped out her window with a whoop and summoned her elemental Dragon
Half an hour later, at the ninja squad base (which was a huge oak tree in Flash's backyard that the ninja squad had built a treehouse in)
"Sup guys!" Ember landed her dragon with a thump next to the tree "Oh hey Ember!" Flash called from the treehouse
"Flash why did you call us here?" Rift asked him annoyed because they where clearly going to get in trouble later if they where caught sneaking out
"Well I can't tell you from down there! Common up!" "Fine" Rift said "but if we get caught again, it'll be your fault"
They climbed up the rope ladder into there base "Ok, so, I have a great plan!" "Oh, no, not ANOTHER one of your plans" Ember joked "Oh, hush you"
Flash unfolded a rolled up piece of paper with a scribbled picture of new ninjago city on it
"Um how does a bunch of scribble help us exactly?" Enoni asked
"It is a, very bad, might I add, attempt of a map of new ninjago city" Zena informed them "ookkeyy... like I said, how does this help us?" Enoni asked again
"Well, since we're still ground- " "I'm not!" Sapphire said as she smirked at her brother
"Ok, fine all of us except Sapph-"
"Actually, none of us except you and Ember are still grounded" Enoni told him
"Wa- but whyyyyy" Flash said groaning "Fine, since me and Ember are still grounded, I figured why not go help some people? We ARE ninja, after all"
"Cuz one, we're still learning how to control our elemental dragons, and two, that would just get us into more trouble then we're already in" Rift said "so that's a terrible idea Flash"
"Ok, stay here then bye!" Flash summoned his dragon and (attempted to) fly it out the window which was proving to be difficult
"Hey, ow!" Enoni yelped as Flash's dragon brushed past him, shocking him and causing Flash's dragon to disintegrate, dumping him on the floor "ow, ow, and did I mention ow?" Flash complained as he lay the floor "Oh stop laughing sis, I don't see YOU doing any better"
"Your right, because I'm already out the door" Sapphire called from her aqua blue dragon
"Oh- fine! Be that way!" Flash yelled at his sister while (still) lying on the ground
"Can you two ever stop arguing for five minutes?" An annoyed Ember asked her cousins, they had (finely) managed to summon there dragons, despite Sapphire and Flash fighting over who's dragon looked the coolest all the way to the city
"depends, can you jump in the pond outside your house?" Sapphire said mockingly "NO! Ember almost screeched "never in a MILLION years will you EVER get me to do that!"
And she summoned her dragon and raced off, leaveng everyone else in the dust
"What are you, a cat?" Rift asked half-amused as the ninja squad flew over new ninjago city on the lookout for bad guys
"Yeah, whats so bad about water anyway?" Enoni put in pulling his dragon next to Rift's
"She's afraid of it" Flash said, flipping his dragon over Ember so that she couldn't burn him (or his dragon) with her fire
"I am not!" "uh huh, you keep telling yourself that" the ninja squad knew for a fact that Ember was absolutely terrified of water, so of course her cousins just loved to tease her about it all the time
"ok, can we just- wait, guys look down there!" Zena said pointing down at the electronic store with two suspicious looking people going in
"Well, what are we waiting for, let's go!" Flash pulled his dragon into a dive with a woop
"Flash wait-" Zena began but everyone had already left her in the dust "and nobody ever listens to me" Zena said, sighing and dove her dragon after Flash and the others
"Ok guys- Flash, stop it" Rift said "whaaat?" "Quit trying to zap Enoni" "finee and why are you the leader anyway Rift?"
"Can you listen for a rockside, cave, or anything earth related?" "Well, no.." "And that's why I'm leader, and you're not"
"Humph" "Guys! Be quiet and get ready!" Zena said, glaring at Flash and Rift
The ninja squad stayed perfectly still on the roof of the electronics store, waiting for the thieves to come out
They dident have to wait long though, because about five minutes later an ear-splitting alarm went off and the two thieves ran out the back door of the store, trying to stay undetected
"Now!" Rift yelled and the ninja squad jumped off the roof, right in front of the thieves
"Well, well, well, look who we have here. a buncha kids thinking they can stop us" the first thief said
"Yeah, why don't you leave now we both know you can't do anything to stop us if you tried" the other thief said
Ember drew her sword "might wanna rethink that, fellas" "Yeah, cuz we're ninja! So drop the phones, and we might not kick your butts" Flash put in
"Hmm... we might just do that... right after we... run!" The taller of the two thieves said and took off down the ally
"After them!" Enoni shouted as the ninja squad raced down the street after the thugs
"There..too.. fast..." Ember huffed, out of breath
"We'll see about that!" Sapphire sent a wave of water at the thieves, knocking them off there feet
"Wowww that really helped, Sapphire" Rift said sarcasticly "it's water. They'll just run right though it"
"Not in THIS mix they wont!" Flash said, zapping the water with his lightning making it electrified (and of course, electrifying the thieves along with it)
"Hand them over, thievies!" Sapphire said triumphantly, high fiving her brother
Still daized from getting slightly electrocuted, the thieves just handed them the phones and walked into the police car
"Thank you for catching these criminals... what is your team callled?" The police officer asked them "we're the ninja squad, and your welcome!" Rift said
"I hope you know that we're probably going to be in a lot of trouble when we get home" Zena said as they flew back on there dragons
"Yeah, but we DID manage to catch two thieves, I think that's pretty good for our first day as ninja!" Enoni said "I suppose" Zena answered
"And it's all thanks to me and Sapphire!" Flash said "totally" Sapphire agreed
"I'll let you have the credit just this once, cuz" Ember told Flash "And besides, even if we do get in trouble, it was so worth it!"
