Chapter 8: A New Girl

The single light bulb flickered to life as Nya opened her wardrobe to gaze through the articles of clothing she had. But her eyes were gazed upon a white box set on the floor with cheeky smile. She felt her body playfully sway to pick up the box and turned on the balls of her feet to set the box on her bed and removed the lid. Within the layer of tissue paper was a black leather jacket that her mother once gave her as a birthday gift, but never wore it. But now, this felt like a chance to wear it.

Still adorning the cheeky smile, she quickly threw on a red blouse and black pants and shin length leather boots and her leather jacket. She looked over her shoulder to see if she disturbed Laurie from her slumber, but smirked as the wind ninja remained asleep. Being quiet and stealth or her advantage. Like the last time, she gracefully leaped out of the window to land softly on her feet and walked over to a storage room in the back of Dareth's place to reveal her stored motorcycle. She felt thankful for Dareth to let her have the storage room in the back, but now it was time for her to have fun. "Time to accessorize," she smiled and climbed onto her motorcycle and kick started the bike to drive off.

The streets of Ninjago City were fairly deserted but yet few cars were still present as she drove down while accelerating her speed. But everything started to become a blur as she weaved her way through the tight packed cars in Downtown Ninjago City in the highest speeds. She could hear cars blaring their horns toward her reckless speed, but it didn't bother her. She was enjoying the thrill ride, enjoying the dangers. A whole new feeling to have. Who was she now?

After weaving her way through the tight traffic of the city, she suddenly came to a stop in front of a jewelry store as the street was now deserted. But in the display window was a rare and elegant necklace that had teardrop shaped diamond encrusted pieces, almost like claws. She had to gaze at the necklace to feel this feeling to have it, probably because it sparkled and shined to have her mesmerized to the necklace. Very quick to grab her attention. She could feel her eyes become enlarged and attached to it to rest her hand on the glass display window. But her eyes lifted themselves as she noticed someone was inside, but saw it was a thief to smile.

Time for more fun.

A stocky man gazed around the closed jewelry store with a gun in his hand while his partner done the same. Thankful they shut down the alarms to not alert any police or ninjas for that matter, but they had this heist in the bag. With a strong grip, he used the stock of his weapon to shatter the glass case to begin looting. But unaware from the second floor, another individual had snuck in and grabbed a small black masquerade mask from a broken case on the second floor. The thief and his partner continued to loot while Nya stared down at the two to smirk as she hugged her body over the railing on the second floor, like a fly on the wall with her back pressed against it. But she sighed to them as she would when being the samurai.

"Amateurs," she spoke up to make the two men jump and turned toward her with their guns raised to her. "Being loud and destructive on property without the hint of being quiet. But smart enough though to sabotage the security system. What a purrfect idea. . ." she said while rolling her tongue on her R's. She saw the two huff toward her to smirk. "So this can go either two ways, drop whatever you're doing and leave. Or let's dance."

Her ears perked to the sound of a gun being cocked to quickly twist her body away as they fired toward her. But to her, her body was quick and nimble to run on the railing and hid behind the support pillars of the foyer of the store. The thieves below her felt surprised and confused to her speed and agility as she moved swiftly. Like if she was a cat or. The masked girl saw her chance to drop to the first floor to startle them.

The stocky male aimed his gun toward her, but Nya quickly wrapped her leg around his outstretched arm and used the leverage to swing her other leg out to make contact to his head. This caused the man to lose his balance and lost the gun in his hand while Nya landed on the floor in a crouch and remained that way. The partner of the stocky male quickly turned on his heels to take aim on her, but Nya quickly planted her hands on the floor to latch her legs out while twisting her body to land low kicks to his chest and legs. The downed thief watched this happen and saw his weapon close to him and started to reach for it.

The samurai continued to twist her body to land blows on the now unarmed partner. And in a final blow, she quickly jumped to her feet to leap onto the man to be on his shoulders and wrapped her legs around him. She quickly threw her elbow to his head to stun him and leaned her body forward with him to roll on the floor and used her legs to throw him across the store. Her ears perked to the sound of a gun to quickly snap her head to the regained thief to quickly hide behind the support beams as he fired toward her and quickly rushed over to the next while performing backflips to confuse the gunner's aim.

Her heart was racing to this mission, but she was enjoying the action. She waited for the gun to end its firing and be reloaded. But it quickly came for her chance to jump out of her cover and rushed over to him. She quickly saw him swing his arm out to strike at her, but she quickly slipped between his legs to stand behind him. In surprise, he quickly turned, but she caught his wrist to twist it and threw her heel to his chest to push him back. His back made contact to one of the support beams and slumped into unconsciousness.

Nya smirked to her victory as both thieves were down for the count as Jay would tease about and turned on her heels to start leaving. But before she done that, she couldn't help notice all of the jewelry that was still left in the broken cases. This feeling she had was very tempting to have in her possession. She couldn't resist now. Her mind felt cloudy now to this and grabbed one of the empty sacks the thieves had head up to the second floor. And in the end, she placed back her masquerade mask back in the case it came from.
