Halloween Party in Ninjago
Finally! The ninjas will finally reveal their costumes & I also decided on Jay's costumes! Thank you all for the suggestions & enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 2: Dress to Impress
It was finally Halloween in Ninjago.
Even though it was still in the afternoon, the ninjas and Nya already got ready for the trip since the city was pretty far from the academy.
Every time the students went home, the ninjas would find some things to use in their costumes.
Jay would go to the junkyard where his parents still lived to find something to inspire him while Cole would seek his father's advice. Apparently, Lou knew a lot of great makeup artists and the black ninja wanted to look his best.
Soon, the ninjas, even Jay, finally got their costumes ready.
Kai was the first to step out upon putting on his costume.
This year, he decided to go as a pirate and no, this has nothing to do with the pirates he and the ninjas fought after the Great Devourer's gooey death.
He had the classic attire of a swashbuckling seafarer of fanciful stories. His long crimson pirate coat was intended to look a bit tattered for aesthetic effects with a matching pirate hat and the undershirt was partially unbuttoned to reveal some of his chest. The most striking part of Kai's costume was the eye patch over his right eye that actually went rather well with the scars and had a skull and crossbones on it.
"I'm ready!" Jay bragged as he was next to show off his apparel.
Having a knack for inventing, the blue ninja settled on a steampunk themed apparel. Just about every article of his Victorian-esque clothing were adorned with golden gears and little gadgets, especially on his right arm like the metal armor on his ninja uniform he since hung up.
"Me too!" Cole also stepped out to show off his new look.
The earth ninja looked like a corpse with his tattered robes and intentionally messy hair. Thanks to the makeup artists Lou was in touch with, his costume was complete with a bloody look. His neck was covered in thick red makeup so it looked like his throat was cut open and fresh blood was gushing out. His face was also covered in black and white makeup so his skin looked paler than ever and his eyes and cheeks appeared sunken in like a corpse.
"Zane, hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Kai yelled at the ice wielder to get ready.
"I have my costume ready as well." Zane also revealed himself but…
"What the- !?" Jay stared at the white ninja, "You're not wearing a costume!"
The ice wielder still wore his casual khaki pants and snowflake vest with the little bow tie.
"I already have my costume ready." The nindroid said, "I intend to reveal it once we reach the city so please be patient."
"I'm ready!"
Once Nya stepped out, Jay's jaw dropped all the way to the ground and his eyes bulged out like a classic cartoon character.
Nya didn't look ANYTHING like her usual self!
The ninjas could've sworn they were looking at Hatsune Miku herself!
Nya's outfit was the spitting image of the virtual idol herself!
She had every last part of the outfit perfect. Even the skirt, arm covers, and tall boots had those small glowing lights and cybernetic details. The female samurai even took the extra measure to have a wig of the idol's trademark teal pigtails with the glowing diamond-shaped headband and even got teal contacts to complete the look.
"You look like a completely different person!" Even Zane was astonished by all the fine details.
"I have to say, I'm quite proud of it. I made it myself." Nya blushed.
"Jay?" Cole noticed how the normally talkative ninja didn't say a word.
The lightning ninja had a dopey grin on his face, obviously VERY impressed by Nya's costume.
"I think he likes your costume, Nya." Zane said.
"What a weirdo." Kai shook his head over his brother's lovey-dovey attitude towards his sister.
"Come on. We have to get going before there's any traffic jams." Cole reminded the ninjas and Nya as they got on the shabby bus and began their journey.
The bus ride to Ninjago City took quite a while but it was worth it.
The city has definitely changed since they last saw it while it was under reconstruction. People used hover cars to get around, little robots helped them with every small task imaginable, and skyscrapers stretched as far as the eye can see. This was all like a futuristic movie but the ninjas managed to find the convention center. They knew this was it because of the huge banner that said 'Halloween Party' on it and there were crowds of people in costumes outside.
"So Zane," Cole faced Zane once they got off the bus, "You said you'll reveal your costume."
"Yes."
The nindroid took one small step forward and the image of a snowflake glowed under his foot.
His plain white flats glowed and shimmered as they turned into elegant boots made of ice. The changes continued upwards as the white ninja's slightly baggy pants became slender with an icy blue shimmer, and the torso of his gi became a vest full of sparkling sequins. Next, the android raised up his arms where the changes continued. His sleeves became translucent and skin tight with a vague snowflake pattern, leading up to the finale of Zane's transformation. Behind him, a long transparent cape flowed behind him that sparkled and shimmered and was decorated with snowflake patterns.
The ninjas stared with wide eyes and gaping jaws at Zane's new look. He even had the front of his hair teased a bit and there were also tiny snowflakes adorning the platinum blonde locks.
Zane pretty much looked like a male version of Elsa the Snow Queen!
"Showoff…" Jay grumbled.
"Hey guys!"
The golden dragon the ninjas last saw from the final battle swooped down and disappeared in a mist of gold vapor, leaving just the green ninja in his costume.
Lloyd looked just like Link from Twilight Princess with his green tunic and hat. He even got many details down such as the leather gauntlets and chain mail underneath. He even had fake elf ears to complete the look.
"How did you get that costume!?" Kai was befuddled on how the green ninja managed to get a costume during his travels.
"Being the savior of Ninjago, I managed to get some good designers to make my clothes!" Lloyd bragged, his fame starting to mess with his still young mind.
"Nice get-up." The green ninja commented on his teammates clothes.
He had to admit, they were all pretty impressive.
"So where are your parents?" Kai asked.
It was still weird for him to accept that his once sworn enemy was good again was now a good guy. It's funny how things can change.
"They'll be staying with Uncle at the academy." Lloyd answered, "I heard you're teachers there now. I would've never thought you'd get all boring after all the adventures we had."
"Never mind," Cole dismissed the blonde ninja, "Let's just get to the party."
With the whole gang finally here in Ninjago City, it's time to get the Halloween party started!
Yeah!
The party hasn't started until the ninjas arrive! Kudos to Endergirl222 for giving the suggestion for Jay's steampunk costume before I finalized my decision! Thank you!
Anyway, review!
