Jay and I walked into the monastery laughing and acting goofy like siblings should be.
"And...do you...remember that time...when...you tried to...build that fema-" I laughed but Jay clapped his hands over my mouth.
"Don't you dare speak about that!" He sounded serious.
"Okay, okay..." I laughed. Then the other ninja came into the room.
"Good, you guys are back," Nya hugged my brother. "Jay, I need your help with the Bounty's thrusters," Nya said.
"Sure, I'll be right there, Nya," Jay said love struck. I rolled my eyes.
"Wait, what happened to the Bounty?" I asked.
"Oh, it got damaged pretty bad in a the fight with the Overlord. Jay and I have working on it for months now," Nya said.
"Oh, can I help?" I asked.
"Uh...you wouldn't know where to start or what to do, Elise." Jay told me.
"But-" I got cut short by Jay that gave me a look which meant 'stay out of it'. "Nevermind..." I sighed.
"Okay, let's go, Jay." Nya dragged him down the hall by his arm. The other ninja have also disappeared.
"Now what?" I asked myself with a sigh.
I walked to my room and threw my stuff on the bed. I changed into a T-shirt and light cotton shorts. I decided to pick up where I started exploring this morning.
After a while, I found myself in a big training room. There were dummies in one corner and I decided to hit it just for fun. I searched for a weapon, but to my dismay, there were not any. I found myself using my body and and punched the one side of the dummy. It didn't move and I tried a kick. It also didn't work.
"Your form is wrong," a female voice said from behind me. It was the old lady who's name I learned was Misako.
"Sorry, I was just messing around. I'll go..." I turned towards the door.
"No, no. You have potential inside of you. If you practiced or trained with the other students..." She got lost in thought.
"So, Sensei Garmadon won't mind?" I asked.
"No, he loves getting more student," she smiled.
"Thanks!" I was exited to begin. "I realized there were no weapons inside of here. Why?" I asked.
"After Garmadon became good, he vowed that he will never wield another weapon again and has band them from his monastery. Even the ninja have to keep their weapons outside," she chuckled.
"But what about my Bo staff? It's in my room and he held it," I asked.
"Your staff is special. It belonged to his father and he has a close connection with it. I also think he knows you won't destroy anything with it. I have no idea why he sold it," Misako explained. I nodded.
The rest of the evening, I strolled through the building. I must have known where every room was by now.
"Hey, Elise, you coming?" The black ninja shouted from down the hall, while I was studying a painting.
"I'll be right there!" I yelled back. I walked down and found myself in the dining room. Everyone was sitting down and talking casually with each other. I plopped down on the chair next to Lloyd.
"What's for dinner?" I asked.
"I have no idea. Zane is cooking and he always keeps it a secret," Lloyd explained.
"Is he a good cook?"
"A good cook? He's the best cook in the world," the green ninja exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement. On cue, Zane burst through the door with plates of food and he was wearing pink apron.
"Zane, I thought you said you were going to wear something else?" Kai asked.
"I was, but I could not find anything suitable," Zane said and placed the plates down. I looked skeptical at the food. It looked weird; I have never seen anything like it before. The others seemed to be satisfied and quickly filled their plates.
"What is this?" I asked and placed some in my plate.
"I believe it is called meatloaf," Zane awnsered. I took a small bite and my eyes went wide.
"Oh my brick, Zane! This is so good!" I put more into my mouth.
"I am glad you're enjoying it," he smiled.
"Enjoying it? I'm loving it!" I exclaimed.
"Told ya," Lloyd said and smirked. I shook my head and continued scarfing down my food.
When everyone was about to get a second helping, an alarm went off. The ninja groaned and looked longingly at their food before running out of the room, Nya behind them. I followed them into a room with a big computer screen and lots of control panels.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Serpentine sighting," Nya said and pulled on a samurai helmet.
"I'll go get my staff," I said.
"Oh no, you are staying here," Jay pulled me back.
"But I know more about these things than any of you!"
"And I'll be glad to listen when we get back," he said and walked out of the room. I threw my arms into the air and sighed.
"He's just worried about you," Nya patted my back and followed him.
"I'm not a child anymore! I can take care of myself!" I shouted at no one. I sighed and fell down on a nearby chair. I held my head.
"You know, if you trained and show your brother what you can do. He'll maybe be persuaded," Garmadon appeared.
"Yeah..." I sighed. Or I'll persuade him now. I've defeated those snakes more than he'd like and gotten pretty good at it too, I thought. I told Garmadon I'd be in my room. When I got there, there's where my plan began.
Don't ask me how, but I got this chapter deleted more than five times. I felt like I was going to lose my mind *sighs* or what's left of it. Remember to R&R.
Byeeeee!
