Unfortunate Events
Kai watched as Jay sauntered into the Dojo with his hands behind his back; his dark blue eyes held a mischievous glint. Nya, Lloyd, Sensei, Misako, Garmadon (for he felt bad about doing that) and Dr. Julien had gone to the dark island on the Ultra-Dragon to fix the Destiny's Bounty after Dr. Julien had broken it.
Jay looked around the Dojo and asked, "Where are Zane and Cole?"
Kai answered, "They went to Mega Monsters Amusement park."
"Why didn't you go?"
"Because someone," he glared at Jay, "had to leave for," Kai looked at the clock hanging above the door, "4 hours 36 minutes and 57 seconds, without telling anyone where he was going!"
"You were counting?" he sniggered, "well I am here to inform you that your wait is worth every second, because," he sniggered again, "I have gotten something that you will love will every fiber of your being."
He took his hands from behind him and showed him a…did he really get that? Why did he have to get that? Kai's eyes went wide; in Jay's hand was a grey hamster, "You mean that I love with every fiber of my gizzard! Jay you know I hate rodents, especially big ones!"
Jay laughed, "I knew you would like it!" Jay said in a baby voice to the rodent while petting its head, "I told you that he would love you, Asher."
"You named it?! Get that thing away from me," Kai shuddered he paused, thinking, "what kind of name is Asher?"
Jay puffed out his chest in importance, "I named it that because he or she is the color of ash, aren't I brilliant?"
"Remind me never to let you name any pets that I get in the near distant future from now."
Jay deflated and pouted, "I think it is a great name!"
"That, my friend, is because you do not have a big enough brain to think of a better one."
Jay narrowed his eyes; he walked over and dropped the rodent into Kai's lap. Kai squeaked, jumped up and grabbed onto the chain of the punching bag.
"You squeaked!" Jay said in between his laughter.
"I did not squeak, I gasped, not squeaked," Kai persuaded, "I do not squeak!"
"Just keep telling yourself that, Kai, wait 'till everybody hears about this!"
"It is a good thing no one will believe you, for a Kai does not squeak."
Jay thought about it for a while, "you are right, no one will believe me," Jay pouted again. "If you didn't squeak then we are you up on the top of the punching bag? That proves a Kai squeaks, and even though I might not be able to prove it to our brothers I will remember this and I will always remind you of it to make you relive your embarrassment."
Kai flipped off of the punching bag, he was about to tell Jay something when Dareth came in, "I, Grand Sensei Dareth, the brown ninja that controls the element of hot air, have come to tell you something," he paused dramatically, "what I have come to tell you, I have forgotten for the time being." He looked to Jay, "is that a hamster in your hands?"
Jay nodded.
"It is so cute! What is its name?"
"His name is Asher."
"Is it because of the color of its fur?"
"Yes."
"That is an awesome name, you are brilliant to think of a name like that," Dareth replied with admiration clear in his voice.
Jay stuck out his tongue at Kai; Kai stuck out his tongue in a well-I-still-think-the-name-sucks fashion.
"So immature," Jay said while rolling his eyes.
"You are one to talk," Kai replied looking at his glove where his nails would have been.
Jay got a roguish glint in his eye, "Dareth, Kai wants to hold Asher, can he?"
"Sure," Dareth passed the rodent to Kai.
If looks could kill Jay would have been ashes. Kai reluctantly reached out to grab the hamster, he grimaced when the rodent leaned into him, "I am probably going to get a parasite or get some deadly disease after this."
"Look, Asher loves you Kai," Dareth stated.
"Well I don't love him," Kai passed him back to Jay. "Since you are here I don't have to stay, I am going to…somewhere away from here."
"You just don't want to be by Asher," Jay accused, "you told us that you don't like rodents, why don't you like them?"
Kai got a faraway look in his eye.
Kai was heading to bed, his dad had just taught him the basics of blacksmithing. His arms were pooped! All that hammering on a small block of steal, he felt sorry for his dad. He pulled the covers back and there on his bed was a mouse family, he screamed for his mom, she came running in. His mom took one look at the mice and went to go get gloves and a bag.
Two weeks later Kai was extremely sick, no one knew what was wrong with him. They even took him to tons of doctors. Finally, one lady doctor took a blood test, it turned out that the mice had given him a rare and deadly parasite. The parasite was slowly making its way to Kai's brain, and if they reached it he would die. The doctors gave him strong antibiotics to kill them, it took two weeks for all the parasites to leave his body, and it took him 5 months to return to full health. Ever since then Kai had an extreme phobia of rodents, murophobia.
Kai shuddered, he never wanted to relive 4 months of sickness, barley able to move or do anything fun, then 5 months of recovery, "I never really liked rodents."
He walked out of the Mojo Dojo to get away from the rodent.
5 minutes after Kai left, Cole and Zane walked in with some cotton candy in their hand, "hey Jay," Cole said happily, "we went on the scariest rides there! Where were you? It would have been fun if all of us went."
"I went on a walk, and look what I found," Jay held up the hamster.
Zane walked over to it, "it is a bit dirty, I think that you need to bathe it, what is its name?"
"His name is Asher," Jay answered, "Kai didn't like the name."
"Speaking of Kai, where is he?" Cole said while looking around the room.
"He didn't want to be in the same room as Asher, so he left to go…somewhere."
The three ninja took Asher to the sink to give him a bath, after an hour of scrubbing the once grey hamster was now the color of Lloyd's hair.
"Kai will never let me live this down," Jay muttered to himself.
"Will never let you live what down?" the nindroid said, who had heard because he had better hearing than the regular humans.
"Nothing," Jay replied innocently.
Zane, Cole and Jay stopped playing with Asher when Kai walked in the door. He looked at the now blond hamster, "where's Asher? Why did you get another one?"
Jay answered slowly, "This is Asher."
Kai laughed, "and you na-" his gloating was cut short by Jay's hand over his mouth, so Kai was left to snort.
"Zip it," Jay whispered in his ear, "or I will tell of your squeak."
"Fine," he said, but he chuckled every time he looked at Jay.
Over the next couple weeks Cole, Jay and Zane taught the hamster how to sneak into tight places and grab stuff that was of value, and Kai was getting over some of his murophobia and learning to live with Asher, but he wasn't over it enough to get close to him.
It turns out that Jay found Asher on the street and he decided to take him home, for he couldn't leave the hamster alone, he didn't have malicious thoughts of revenge on Kai for a prank he did a couple months ago, Jay was to nice for that.
Asher was a really smart hamster and it seemed that the rodent already knew what to do, that part confused Zane and Kai; Zane because it didn't seem logical, it confused Kai because rodents shouldn't be that smart, it was scary, to him at least.
At the moment all the ninja were sitting on the couch, Kai sitting as far away from Asher as possible, Cole flipping through the channels when the news reporter lady came on, "braking news! There have been several robberies over the past month, but this one is by far the worst, the thieves have stolen a rare artifact from the museum and it has been confirmed that the police have gotten a picture of one of the burglars, here it is."
A picture of a woman with jet black hair and silver eyes was shown on the screen, Cole saw Kai's big green eyes widen as he whispered, "That's the person!"
Cole looked back to the TV; the lady had a cold and evil glint in her silver eyes her lips were blood red, her skin was as white as the moon and she had small straight nose. The reporter then showed a video of her and four of her cronies robbing the museum, stealing a priceless artifact; they worked like a well oiled machine.
The news reporter started speaking again, "we don't know who they are but we know this-these people are armed and dangerous, so don't go anywhere near them."
Cole turned off the TV, "it looks like a job for the ninja."
The ninja nodded, and if they paid a bit more attention they would have noticed that Asher nodded his head as well.
Later that night Cole asked Kai something that had been bothering him for a couple hours, "Kai what did you mean by 'that's the person'?"
Kai's fair features turned surprised, "you heard that?" Cole nodded. "Well when I went for a walk I saw someone robbing the jewelry store, so naturally I went to stop them. After a couple minute of fighting them their hood fell off and I saw it was that lady. She started saying some weird words, and then I knocked her out before she could finish talking."
"And you were going to tell us when?" Cole asked slightly angry.
Kai looked slightly guilty, "I didn't tell you because of the rodent is very distracting?"
"I know that you aren't telling me something Kai. What is it?" Cole queried.
Kai sighed, "and because I got this." He rolled up his sleeve; there on his arm was a big burn mark.
"How did you get that?"
"You know how I said that she said stuff? Well every time she spoke stuff happened, like objects started flying to me, and she shoot fire at me I dodged and used my powers to redirect it; but she got in a lucky hit," Kai explained.
"But that still doesn't alter the fact that you didn't tell us," Cole said, his coffee brown eyes glaring.
"I was embarrassed," Kai said his eyes down-cast, "that I got hit."
'Just like our fiery brother,' Cole thought.
The next day had them getting ready for the day ahead of them, "Zane do you think you could use your senses to find them?" Jay asked.
"I think I can," Zane answered, he closed his eyes and got a look of deep concentration. His eyes opened, "They are in the same place the Pythor first tried to unite the four tribes."
"Why is it always underground?" Cole asked.
"Because Cole, bad guys love dark, dank, musty, murky and gloomy hideouts, for it makes them feel more evil, malicious and malevolent," Kai answered with his famous smirk and moving his hands to exaggerate his point.
"What does malevolent mean? Or will you not tell me like bequeath?" Jay asked slightly irritated.
The 3 ninja laughed and ran away leaving the blue ninja silently fuming.
The four brothers made it inside the manhole and snuck their way to the railing looking down on the vast cavern. In it there were five people wearing black, and they all were females. Around them were all the items that have been stolen over the past month.
"How do we get closer?" Cole asked.
Everyone thought for a moment until Jay's face lit up, "I know!" he reached into his back pocket and pulled out Asher, Kai had to stifle a squeak. Jay continued to talk, "I knew Asher would come in handy."
Jay explained the plan that his barmy mind concocted.
"Why do I have to be with the rodent?" Kai inquired, "You know that I don't like them."
"Because I decided, and since it was my plan I get to choose," Jay said smugly.
Zane and Cole snickered at the unfortunate situation of their hotheaded brother, Kai glared at them. He shuddered visibly and slowly reached over and took the hamster from Jay's hand and they all went into position.
Kai sent Asher out to be the distraction; he scurried off executing the plan perfectly. One of the ladies noticed Asher, she took out throwing daggers and threw them at him, but to Kai's and the ladies surprise Asher shot lighting out of his paws, 'scary rodent,' Kai thought.
The fight continued, it turned out that Asher could do all the four elements. He made the ground like quicksand, turned it hard again and trapped her legs knee high so she couldn't move, and then Asher used ice to trap the rest of her. Asher went running back to Kai; Kai picked him up and looked into the blond rodent's eyes, he was shocked. If he didn't have murophobia Kai would have noticed it sooner, the eyes, they were as dark blue as the twilight sky, as dark green as the forest with gold flecks that looked like sunlight filtering through the forests tops, as light of blue as the color of ice and as dark of brown as chestnuts. They were Lloyd's eyes. Kai had always been fascinated with them because his eyes were all the colors of the elemental ninja: Jay's dark blue eyes, Kai's forest green eyes that had gold flecks, Zane's ice blue eyes and Cole's chestnut colored eyes.
"Lloyd?" Kai whispered.
The rodent nodded.
"How did this happen? No wait I can't ask you that because I can't understand you, so I have to ask yes or no questions, right?" Lloyd nodded, Kai nodded back in understanding while biting his lip. "When did this happen? 1 day before Jay found you?" Lloyd shook his head in a negative, "okay, 2 days?" Lloyd nodded yes.
This went one for thirty minutes before Kai had all his questions answered and could put the pieces of the puzzle together, Lloyd was traveling back on the Ultra-Dragon to tell the ninjas that the Bounty was in need of way more repairs than expected and Nya and Dr. Julien would be away for a longer period of time, when the strange lady with silver eyes pretended to be in need of help so Lloyd would to save her, when he came the lady and the people attacked him, then the lady spoke strange words and turned him into a hamster. He was a hamster for 2 days before Jay found him.
"Kai! We seriously need you! Get your butt over here!" Cole's voice yelled.
Kai jumped, startled, only now realizing how long he had been in asking Lloyd yes or no questions. He picked Lloyd up and put him on his solider, not afraid of him anymore because he knew that Lloyd did not have any deadly parasites, diseases, ect. Kai got out his new fire sword and started fighting the last person standing. It was the lady with the ruby lips and silver eyes.
The lady threw all sorts of magic attacks at them; the ninja dodged lots of them and tossed their own powers back at her.
The battle was long and grueling, but finally the ninjas prevailed, she lay defeated on the ground gasping for breath, "my plan was nearly perfect! I got rid of him, but I did not think you four would be as powerful, if not more than him!"
"Who's him?" Jay asked.
Kai's fair face turned angry he held the hamster in front of her face, "change Lloyd back, NOW!"
The ninjas looked at him like he was going insane. The lady chuckled, "I can't, but something else can."
"Tell me!" he said furiously.
She could barley breathe, her time in Ninjago was ending. "Tea," she managed to wheeze.
"What was that about Kai?" Zane asked after a couple minutes of silence.
Kai explained everything he figured out, "we need to go to the tea shop now!"
2 hours later
The ninja made it to the tea shop on the Ultra-Dragon. Zane asked the lady behind the desk, "Do you have any tea that will change our friend back to being a human?"
"Maybe," she said rudely in her squeaky voice.
Jay placed 200 dollars on the table.
"I only have one so use it wisely." She went to the back and came back with the tea, "just make your friend drink it."
Zane poured the tea into a bowl and Jay set Lloyd down so he could lap it up. When he finished drinking he started to tremble soon there was a blinding flash of light and when the ninja opened their eyes again, Lloyd was sitting on the floor his multi-colored his wide, "I do not want to do that again," he said when he could finally speak, Lloyd smirked, "you know Kai if I was human when Jay brought me-"
Kai jumped into action he put a hand over Lloyd's mouth and said menacing, "Not another word."
The ninja all laughed.
I hope the ending is to your liking donkey whisperer, I started thinking and this fit perfectly with your suggestion!
Please review and tell me what you think and send me more ideas!
Here is a preview for the next story I am writing What a Mess-up World, the idea was from OMG123abc, thank you for giving me this idea to mess around in! I am having fun!
"The ninja traveled back in time so they could save the future, but things never go as planned. In stories everything has a happy ending, but in real life nothing ever does. During the battle with Lord Garmadon in the Fire Temple that is exactly what happened. Lord Garmadon, instead gloating with his past shadowed self he stabbed the past Kai wounding him so bad there was no hope of him living through the night, his life blood flowing freely from the gaping wound by his heart, staining the ground with red. When Kai from the past died, Kai from the regular time frame disappeared, dying as well. It was then that the two Garmadons gloated in their victory, because without Kai who would figure out Lloyd was the Green Ninja? But it seemed if fate had other plans. The three ninja were sent back for a second chance, but there was a hitch: they went back in time. They forgot all about their hotheaded brother, not even Sensei remembered, for he never existed. The remaining ninja and Sensei felt as if something was missing from their memories, like a huge chunk of it had been removed, but they never questioned it, thinking that that part of their life was not important."
