Captivating Contrasts

Chapter 2; Call me Maybe?

Jay's POV

We spent all day fighting what seemed like millions of serpentine. By the end of the day all of us were completely exhausted. Luckily, the Serpentine attacks stopped right on time for dinner, and it was Zane's night to cook! I sluggishly make my way to sit by Nya. I give her a small smile and she tiredly smiles back.

"I am so glad its Zane's night to cook" I say as I lay back languorously in my chair and dream of the wonderful creations Zane has cooked in the past.

"Yeah, I do not think I could last another day eating Cole's chili!" Kai continues.

"Hey!" Cole retorts.

At that very moment Zane presents us with another culinary masterpiece! He puts down a bowl of rice and on another plate some Sweet and Soar Pork. Without hesitation I deluge right in. However right in the middle of dinner I hear a phone call ringing. I look up to see it was Misako's phone.

"Please excuse me while I take this." She then leaves the room. We continue our interesting discussion about the time Kai discovered Lloyd was the green ninja. I look over as Misako walks back into the room, she seems like there is something on her mind. She walks over and whispers something hardly audible to Sensei Wu and he looks surprised but whispers something back and stands up.

"We will be having a temporary guest at the bounty starting tomorrow." We all look over to Sensei Wu surprised. He then looks over to Misako to explain the situation. The story she tells us shocks everyone.

Emma's POV

Sitting on the couch and working on some math homework I occasionally look up at the TV which is randomly on the news. I was on the second to last problem when the TV suddenly grabs my attention.

"There are countless serpentine attacks around Ninjago city, resulting in many civilians to get in the range of fire. However the Ninja are doing their best to fight against these serpentine."

I listen closely to the news reporter on the TV; behind her I can see much destruction and tumult in Ninjago city. I hope my Parents are ok; they left me home alone a while ago so they could go out to eat on a date night.

"If you look behind me you can see the serpentine are disrupting traffic and" before she could finish, a car collides with a larger one. This CANNOT be good! I am glad I am safe here in my apartment. A while passes before I hear the phone ring. If you could see me I would be as white as newly fallen snow.

My eyes widened as I heard, who seemed like a nurse talk to me. But how am I supposed to get to the hospital with all that traffic and don't forget the serpentine?

"What do I do?" I ask her with fear and shock manifest in my voice.

…

A tear falls down, sailing through every curve of my face. The tear glides only to drop and to be lost forever. To revenge my tear others fall like a heavy rain. Now I feel the storm cannot be stopped. I hardly remember how I got here but all that matters is that I am by their sides. I cannot believe it; this could not possibly be true. I lay down my head on my mothers lap. I am truly alone now; they are both dead.

Back to the future!

So this is what the bounty looks like. I heard from Misako that they recently rebuilt it with extra rooms but I still have to share a room. I walk onto the deck of the bounty. It feels weird that I am on the deck of the home of the legendary ninja! Even though I am not related to Misako she was still my mother's best friend. Because of all sorts of legal stuff I decided I could ask her if I could stay with her for a while but I had no clue she was the mother of the legendary GREEN NINJA!

I knock on the door to be greeted by an older man with glasses.

"You must be Emma we have been expecting you!" I politely nod as he leads me further into the bounty.

"I am Dr. Julien by the way" he mentions on the way.

He leads me to a room where I will be staying and allows me to put my bag down. I turn around to see him tell me that I probably would want to see Misako and the others. I follow him nervously to what ended up being the bridge. I walk through the door timidly when everyone seems to look at me,

Unsure what to say I manage to get out a "Hello."

I look over at everyone else in the room; I see the five ninja, a girl, Misako, and I also see two other men. The girl was the first to talk to me.

"Hello, my name is Nya you must be Emma" She walked to me and put out her hand to shake, which I accepted. As on queue everyone else decided to introduce themselves

"Hi, I am Jay the Ninja of lightning!" he says before putting his arm around Nya

"I'm Cole the earth Ninja and this is Kai the ninja of fire" he says pointing to who must be Kai

"I am Lloyd THE LEGENDARY GREEN NINJA!"

"Zane, white ninja of ice" he gently similes and I cannot help smiling back. I look over to the other side of the room.

"I am Sensei Wu" He says with a small bow.

"And I am Lord Garmadon" It takes me a second to remember that after the final battle he had been turned good.

"Well it is nice to meet you all" I say gaining some self-confidence.

And I am going to stop there… But this chapter is at a really good length, Like 1000 words.

Disclaimer; I do not own Ninjago… yet! *pokes hostage with stick* or do I own the song Call me maybe I just thought it fit for the chapters name.
