Boredom is Blue

Chapter Three

Jay's P.O.V

Nya's eyebrows have creased and her eyes look clouded. In fact, similar expressions are on all the faces in the room. Except for Sensei Wu's. And probably mine. I stare at the screen, at the little ants running about a collection of other ants that huddle in a group. The village was just out of Ninjago City, and therefore a little too close for comfort. I take Nya's hand and pull her closer to me. She smiles at me, but her worried expression comes back quickly.

"Since we don't know anything, we'll just have to jump in. Are we going to call in Lloyd?" Our leader asks.

"No, he and his parents are still studying the Dark Island. We can handle this without the Green Ninja."

"Whoo! Go team!" I couldn't help myself, it's my nature.

"Alright, we'll take the Elemental Dragon. Nya, will you need your Samurai suit?"

"No, I should be fine. Let's go." I wait, expecting Kai to say something. He doesn't look happy, but he doesn't open his mouth. He just twists it up a little.

"Quickly now, ninja. You must be swift to save those people." Suddenly realising we were wasting too much time, we all run to our bedrooms to get ready for the coming battle. Nya and I have shared a room for six months now, and it's so much better than being on my own. Our room, if I had my way, would've been decorated in blue. Nya wanted red. Red and blue do not work together. So, in a compromise, our room is purple. A deep, royal purple. I think Nya's happier with it than I am, to be honest.

I pull on my ninja suit. It looks freakin' amazing, all decked up since Lloyd reached his true potential. I completely understand why Nya finds me so sexy. I turn to look at her and… wow. I thought I was sexy. I am nothing compared to her. She was wearing a skin-tight black tank and red camo pants. Dayum. I'm so lucky. I can't resist kissing her quickly before we both make our way to the others.

Nya's P.O.V

The wind feels so good rushing pass my face. I keep my arms tight around Jay's waist, smiling as he hoots and laughs to the weather. All of us were on the dragon, heading to the village. I can tell we are all worried, but we're trying to psyche ourselves up. I can see the village through the clouds. We land just outside the village and look to Cole for instructions.

"Alright, Zane, scout ahead. We need to know who we're dealing with." Zane nods once, turns and runs silently into the village, hiding in the shadows. He returns five minutes later.

"Cole, we have a problem." I couldn't see his face because of his hood, but his voice sounds worried.

"What?" Cole sounds stern and determined; he's in leader mode.

"Well, it seems that the village has been taken by… women."

"What?!"

None of us was expecting that. I mean, we were keen for a fight, but the only one of us that would feel comfortable with fighting women would be me. And I can't take them all.

"So, Cole, what's the plan now? We can tell them there's a shoe sale in Ninjago City. That'll get them to leave. They're not a true threat," Kai says condescendingly. That pisses me off a bit. What, can't women be villains too? Kai's ability to not think about his words before he says them can sometimes be stronger than Jay's.

"Nothing's changed. Don't underestimate them, Kai. You'll get yourself killed. Kai and I will attack from the west. Jay, Nya, you take East. Zane, take to the rooftops, take them out silently. Go." We all hurry to follow Cole's instructions, Kai looks disgruntled, Cole looks fierce, Zane looks sad and Jay looks confused. The guys are all so different. Jay takes his lightning blade into his hand while I grab my katana. We leave the group and take to the East.

"I don't know how I feel about this, Nya."

"I know this is hard for you. But I feel that we have to take our enemies down to save the people. It doesn't matter the gender of our enemies. They are a threat and it's our job to stop them." I fill my words with certainty, leaving no room for argument. Jay smiles at me.

"Okay, I can do that."

We run quickly into the village. Jay stops me, his finger held over his lips. He points up to a nearby roof and I spot the sentry. She hasn't seen us yet. I nod and scurry up the drain pipe. I creep up to her, put my katana back into my back sheath and pull out a dagger. She hears the smooth, metallic scraping of the weapons and starts to turn. She's too late. I wrap a hand over her mouth and hold the dagger to her throat. "Not a sound," I hiss in her ear. Nodding frantically, she lifts her hands away from her weapon. A rapier, typical. Jay appears and disarms her quickly.

"Now, you will tell us everything we want to know." She nods again, almost cutting herself on the dagger.

"Good," I say. I take my hand away.

"What are you?" Jay asks cheerfully. "I mean, what's your group called?"

"We are the Amazons."

Jay and I share a look. What?

"Who's your leader?"

"Nix. She's going to lead us and become Queen of the new Ninjago." What? Wackos, no one is going to take over Ninjago. We've stopped evil before, we'll do it now. This chick's arrogant tone annoys me, as she continues "Your Ninjago will burn and a bright new world will emerge." Whatever. I give Jay a pleading look, can I kill her? He shakes his head, no, we'll knock her out. I nod, grip my dagger and smash it down on her skull. She tumbles to the ground like an old brick wall.

"We'll hide her in this house; she won't be waking any time soon." We pick her up, Jay takes her arms and I take her legs. We carefully climb off the roof and break into the house. The living room is sparse, bare furniture and no decoration. After lowering the girl to the floor, Jay takes my hand and we leave to continue into the town.

I don't like the Amazons. I know that already. No one should think that they have the right to change a whole country into their own image. I learnt that, thanks to the Overlord. I love Ninjago and it's perfect the way it is. Now we know a little about what we're facing, but I think we need more info.

We creep further into the city, to discover more about these "amazons."

*Heyo! Thanks for the positive reviews! Sorry it took a little while to get this chappy up. Please review! Constructive criticism welcome.*
