AreiaCannanaid: Sorry this took so long! I was writing it on my laptop when something malfunctioned and it turned off, leaving all of my chapter deleted (it didn't auto-recover). So when I tried to re-type it the flow of the chapter seemed forced, so I had to wait a bit before I got my muse back, but when I finally did, we became really busy and I had not time for myself. I will try to get the next chapter out really quickly to make up for the long wait.

kokokringles- That he does. Hahaha! That's the only reason? Hehe… I wonder what fat Legos would look like… probably disgusting…

SergeantSarcasm7- XP I'm glad you like it! I feel sorry for Nya and Jay. What an awkward conversation.

Lya200- That is a good plan. Thanks!

StoriesAreMagic- I hope you didn't burst a spleen or something…. Thankn's! I am really happy that you like it! Food and medical care are good, and making bad guys see your point of view… wow just think of the havoc you can cause (and the good)! Maybe I have some epic quest set out for them and maybe I don't *shifty eyes*.

Jade- I'm so sorry! I hope you can find it in your gizzard to forgive me *attempts the best puppy begging stare ever*. Hehe, thanks, Cole needs to quite being creative and follow the recipe, it would most likely make the Ninjas and Samurai's stomach eternally happy.

randomobsession123- WE SHALL RULE IT TOGETHER! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHEHEHE.

Guest- Haha, that would be great.

Ninjagosbiggestfan- Jay you can be such an idiot at times XP. That would make the Ninjas' lives way more easy if Garmadon was good.

lovestarr- Hehe, I'm not sure yet. I think I'm just leaving Jay to suffer XD (I'm so evil). You better give me some of the first autographs!

Amber- Yeah it would've, but everybody uses Nicole, I wanted to try something different.

Talia Iyami- Sorry, when I read over it I realized my mistake. When I got kicked/something thrown there, it hurts just as bad as when I get kicked in the shin. I know boys it hurts way worse.

Guest- Yep, 'nuff said.

Slugterrafan123321- Thank you!

17blanceri- STORY IDEA! Hehe. Well Melody, if I was an evil overlord and had the Mega-Weapon, I would make it so my rule is never questioned and no resistances, I would make it so everybody thinks of me as amazing and good and I would slowly take over the universe! If I was good guy with the Mega-Weapon I would end disease, hunger, ect.

Disclaimer: If I owned Ninjago I would be either sued or have angry fans yell at me for taking so long with the next episodes... And since they are taking so long for the next season of Ninjago I think it's safe to say that I do own Ninjago. Just Kiding!

Talidoriea

The village was not very large nor was it small, it was somewhere in between. The houses were mostly two stories and all were a light khaki color. All the roads were cobbled in an even lighter color of tan. Lots of the villagers were walking or biking to where they needed to go. There was a smell of algae that hung in the air. Just as Kai looked around to see where the smell came from his booted right foot went down farther than he expected, into some water; he lost his balance. Still not yet used to his new body he pitched forward. Knowing that colliding with the ground was eminent, thrust his hands, palm outwards, in front of him to catch his fall; but before he could hit the pavement and become a Kai pancake, from a the rare car that was in this village driving recklessly forward a hand grabbed him by the back of his sweater and roughly yanked him back up onto his feet.

"Be careful," the still recognizable voice of Cole reprimanded. "You could have injured yourself…"

Since they had turned into females they had all had to endure the lovely experience of monthly mood swings and they all seemed to be handling it differently. Cole was more curt and nagging than usual, Kai knew he was more likely to snap at the smallest thing. Jay was more emotional and craving candy, and Zane, well Zane did not actually seem to have changed much actually, now that Kai thought about it.

Kai tuned out Cole's lecture about him not looking before he leaps to see what the offending object he tripped over was, he almost slapped himself for his idiocy, only just restraining himself. It was a small ravine in the middle of the road. It was about 12 inches deep, and it was shaped like an upside-down triangle, the bottom small before flaring out, and the widest part at the top was about a foot wide. Kai was glad that his boots were water proof. The ravine traversed the whole village, the small waterway broke off into smaller ravines as it went into side roads. 'So that's why the town smells like algae,' Kai thought. 'I wonder what it's for?' he was brought back from his musing as he felt glares upon him.

"Are you even listening to a word I'm saying?" A peeved Cole queried.

"All I heard was 'be more aware of your surroundings, blah blah blah, observant, blah blah blah, don't rush into things, blah blah blah blah….. You get the point. But why would I need to listen when I know my shining knight Colette will come and rescue me!" He said the last part to make Cole drop the next reprimand he was about to receive, since Kai knew that Cole didn't particularly like the name Jay dubbed him.

His ploy worked. Cole harrumphed and turned away to follow Nya, who had started walking away, leading them through the twisted alleyways.

Zane hesitated for a moment, a confused frown across his features, "Why did you call him a Knight when he is clearly a Ninja?"

Everybody ignored his query as they continued to get further and further away. "Guys? …Please…..?"

Knowing that he would not get an answer, he made up his own, ninjas are not shinny like knights, as he was running to catch up to his companions.

~x~X~x~

"Are we almost there yet?" Jay whined.

Kai wanted to rip his ears out. Jay could make his voice so annoying that it made Kai want to fall to the ground screaming, covering his ears with his hand and strangle the Lighting Ninja at the same time. Kai wondered if he practiced on a recorder to get his voice at that pitch that he had perfected.

"Are we almost there yet?"

Kai almost lost it; he just barely controlled himself from tackling his brother to the ground.

"Just one last alley," his saint of a sister answered.

The four other Ninjas breathed a silent sigh of relief, knowing no more of his moaning.

After one last turn the small cobbled path opened up into a wider way. There was a tall wall to one side that a small ravine of water turned sharply into and disappeared out of sight. At the end of the wider pathway was a shop that was two stories, the top story had a wooden porch extend over the floor, 'The shop owner probably lives up there,' Kai thought. There was a long circular beam that jutted out from the patio that held the biggest tea pot Kai had ever seen that held the shops name.

As they opened the wooden door a small bell rung, most likely to tell the owner that someone arrived. The room was small, a long counter separating the customers from the huge tea shelves that were on the back wall. A small door opened that was by the shelves and a wizened old woman came out. She wore her hair in a tight bun that was held high on her head, she had small beady eyes that darted everywhere. Just by looking at her Kai could tell she liked money more than anything else. No wonder Sensei gave him such a big amount of money.

Nya, being the unofficial spokes person, started talking in a business like fashion. "Do you have any gender switching tea?"

Here beady eyes flitted around the group of teenaged girls, landing on Lloyd, the only male in the group, "Want to be like them, eh?" Kai, expecting an older voice was surprised when the lady had a rough and gravelly voice that had the tone of fingernails scratching on a blackboard.

"I-" Lloyd started angrily, before Cole's elbowed him in the shoulder; giving him the look of 'just-go-with-it'. The Green Ninja did as he was told and responded with a muttered, "Yes."

She chuckled to herself in a way that said she had known it. "I don't recall…"

Kai wanted to punch the little money-monger; he forced down his anger and reached for the money pouch he had in his sweater. He pulled out a couple of coins and dropped them on the counter with a muted 'thunk'. "Do you remember now?" he questioned a bit mordantly.

"Yes, I do. I don't have it, but I did hear a rumor about a plant with such qualities." The tea shop owner replied, which Kai know knew her name, by looking at a business card—Mystake. "It's a flower called Talidoriea; it's located near…." Mystake trailed off, glancing expectantly at Kai.

He growled inaudibly, before passing more money to her outstretched palm. Mystake continued, "It's rumored to be at the top of a lonely mountain, near the Floating Ruins."

"Do you know what it looks like?" Zane inquired.

Before Mystake could do anything, Kai put more money on the counter.

"Yes, I do have a painting…. But I am not sure if it is what it really looks like." The old lady bent down and started riffling through her stuff. A minute later Mystake came back up with the painting in her hands and stuck it on the counter. The flower was painted from a front view; it had 26 long and narrow petals with pointed tips. The sides of the petals rolled up so the two sides touched in the middle. The weirdest thing about the flower was its color: the tops sides were blood red and the bottom sides of the petal were as black as pitch. From what Kai could tell of the painting the leaves had some resemblance to Wolfsbane. He remembered from hikes with his mother the type of leaf—palmate and lobed. The colors of the leaves were also interesting. They were such a dark green they looked black.

"Are you sure this isn't poisonous?" Zane asked after he got a good look.

"I'm not even sure this is a real flower," Mystake countered.

Mystake missed the look of disappointment the four transformed ninjas' gave to each other.

"Do you think we could take this picture with us?" Cole asked.

Kai handed her some more money before she could decline. "Sure, go ahead, I don't have any use for it."

Zane picked up the picture, "Who's Asita Aditya?"

"He's the artist," Mystake responded distractedly. "I met his great great grandson."

"Oh…." Zane said sadly, hoping to hear more of the artist who drew such a realistic flower.

The small bell above the door ringed again as the Ninjas and Samurai left the building, heading back to the bus station.

~x~X~x~

Smack.

Smack.

Smack.

Smac-

"Cut that out!" Cole almost yelled, to the contented blue clad girl next to him who had been merrily eating with her mouth open the chocolates she had acquired on the way back to the bus.

"Wha…?" Jay questioned his mouth still full of his sweets.

It was Zane who responded, "What Cole is trying to say is: will you desist that abominable noise you insist on making with you mouth while you are gorging on candies?"

"Uh…" Jay was completely mystified, mostly because he had not been paying much attention.

Kai laughed. "In simple words so your puny mind can comprehend: Shut-up."

"Shut what up?"

Cole had an overwhelming desire to yank the candies out of Jay's hand and smash them on the floor of the bus.

"I think I see smoke coming from NinjagoCity!" Zane said, banning anything violent as they scrambled to look through the window.

Sure enough there were wisps of smoke snaking there way up from the large city into the sky.

"We weren't even gone that long!" Kai complained as they ran out of the bus.

As they ran through the streets the smell of smoke filled their lungs, making it harder to breathe. They pasted an alleyway and Cole ordered a halt. They did Spinjitzu to change into their ninja tunics and suits.

"Lloyd I want you to stay here and Kai-" he didn't get to finish.

"I am not staying out of the fight again!" Kai yelled; his new voice went to higher octaves than it would normally.

"Someone has to protect Lloyd and help lead him to the apartment," Cole replied calmly.

"How come it has to be me? Can't it be someone else?" the brunette snarled his large forest green flecked eyes flashing gold, proving that he was very angry.

One could tell Kai's emotions by looking into his eyes, when he was his usual self they were forest green with gold around his pupils; when he was sad they seemed to be more green than gold. When he was happy they appeared to change to a bright gold color; and when he was angry, like he was now, they seemed to take on the color of fire shifting from different colors of gold. Know one wanted to admit it, but he looked quite imposing.

"I have a plan and this is part of it," Cole answered, still keeping his cool.

Kai let out all his irritation into an angry hiss, before agreeing begrudgingly.

Cole, Jay, Zane and Nya ran out of the alley and continued their trek to Garmadon and his Serpentine.

~x~X~x~

A malicious laugh emanated from Garmadon. His plan was going perfectly! The infuriating ninja were too embarrassed to show their new pretty little faces in public, leaving him able to conquer Ninjago permanently. His mirth subsided a bit as he looked to his brother gallantly fighting his subordinates, holding him at bay. Wu was probably smarter than attacking a whole army single handily, but covering up the fact that he, Lord of Darkness, King of Evil, had finally bested his apprentices.

His evil smile returned, bunkering in that cavern was probably one of the ideas he could put on his 'good idea' list. There was a story carved into the walls about some girl, doing something; he hadn't paid attention much, but it did give him a great plan.

Tightening his grip on the Mega-Weapon, Garmadon stalked to the prow of the flying ship to peer over the railings. What he saw made him curse. Three ninja and a samurai were running over to help the Sensei. Why couldn't things ever go his way? Why couldn't he ever win?

He narrowed his crimson eyes, where was the forth ninja? The sassy Fire Ninja? He looked around searching for the newly turned female; but could not find what he was searching for. He focused his attention back on the three ninja. Garmadon's smile returned; the ninja were not at the top of their game. He could see their slight stumbles, when they punched, kicked, leaped forward and such. Maybe the idiots he called minions could actually defeat them!

A small 'thunk' from behind him brought him out of his dark musings. As a bad guy who wants to succeed at his career he made up a mental guide book that he should follow from his personal experiences, which; sadly he did not follow all the time. But one of his rules that he always followed was: 'if you hear a sound that is out of place or suspicious, it probably is the enemy trying to get the drop on you.'

He got his Mega-Weapon ready and turned around, but he was too late. A blur of red met his vision as he stumbled backwards, falling hard on his backside.

Garmadon was pinned to the deck of the Dark Bounty by a furious gold eyed ninja, the Mega-Weapon kicked out of his grasp. "Change us back!" the Fire Ninja yelled throw his cowl.

"Hmm, let me think about it… No." Garmadon said mockingly. "Why don't like your new body? I think it quite suits you."

Kai growled and brought his fist up to punch him in the face when Lloyd stopped him, "Don't hurt him! He's my father and I don't want to see him get hurt."

"Son?" Garmadon asked, clearly startled.

"Your right, I don't want to dirty my fists with his face, now do I?" Said Kai snidely. "I let the ground do it for me."

Kai then picked him up and tossed him over the railing. As Garmadon fell he heard the angry voice of his son shout, "Kai!"

He heard the Snoopy-Pants reply, "He had it coming."

Garmadon turned in the air just in time to grab the roof edge of a building; he made sure to even out the pressure of his landing through all of his six limbs before clambering up to the roof.

He shouted to his the closest general, "Quick we need to get back on board the Bounty before they are able to get it back!"

The Venomari nodded and called out for a third of the army to recapture the flying ship.

I made the Ninjas' seem a bit OOC on purpose, here's the reason. I read up on lots of facts so I could get it right. Girls have way different hormones than boys, so since their bodies changed into those of girls and they only have their guy spirit left, it would be annoying to sort out all the different emotions and hormones. I also read some facts that state girls can/will/do feel more emotions at once than guys. So the Ninja's have different ways of dealing with the different emotions, Cole more curt, Kai more angry, Jay more emotional (especially since the 'Internal hemorrhaging' happened) and Zane is pretty much the same…. Or is he? I hope that cleared up any confusion of why I made their character are a bit different and off.

Chapter Question:

(I have to know) If you were to stalk the Ninja would you A) Stalk them very stealthily so they don't know you're there. B) Stalk them in a completely obvious and hysterical manner so they know that you are stalking them to see what they would say to you or C) Same as 'B' except completely deny that you are stalking them when they confront you and continue your apparent trailing when they go back to their business?

(Strange question, I know, but I was thinking about it the other day and I wanted to know what some people would do)
