Chapter 14
A Spirit

.:Violet:.

Wu stood up and went to stand next to the boys. Violet stayed upon the rock with the arrow lodged on her string. A wicked grin spread upon the thin and black lips of Garmadon and a glint of evil and mischief flashed through his eyes. He stood up and placed the weapons on the floor.

"I can feel its presence nearby." Garmadon said and looked at Wu. "You do have it."

"I'll repeat. I do not have the bow. I haven't even seen it yet." Wu said sternly. But the bow in Violet's hand started to shake as well as the weapons on the floor.

"You must be lying brother. It's here, even the sword, scythe, shurikens and nunchucks are reacting to it." Then the weapons started to shine. Lucky for Violet, her invisibility charm spread into the bow so the others couldn't see it. She went to move backwards but it seemed that the bow was stuck in mid-way. She yanked on it but it didn't budge. But it didn't move towards the other weapons either.

"With all five weapons gathered up together, a portal between time and space will open and it'll allow me to cross into Ninjago." He laughed and a circle of light with blue and pink swirls appeared in mid-air with lightning starting to appear.

"Father wouldn't want you to do this." Wu urged with sadness in his eyes. Violet tried to pull the bow without letting it go but it wouldn't budge.

Come on stupid bow!

"But father isn't here now is he?" Garmadon snapped, "good and evil, there have always been a balance but I can destroy that balance and soon I'll be strong enough to process the five golden weapons so I can recreate the world into my own image." And he walked into the portal and it vanished with a click. Then Wu walked over to the four weapons that were lying on the ground.

"He's gone now…" Wu sighed. Violet also sighed and looked to her bow. It no longer stayed in mid-air but in her palms. She walked with them still in her invisible form but she knew her time would be up soon. "But he will return."

Kai picked up his sword and looked to Wu. "Are there five golden weapons? How come you never told us?"

Violet gulped and she made sure her presence was noticeable to Wu but not to the others.

"Because this golden weapon isn't like yours, it has been lost since the first spinjitzu master created it. That's why its location wasn't on the map because no one knows where it is. I honestly don't know how Samukai comes up with the thought that we have it…"

"But that means the other golden weapon must be here if the golden weapons reacted like that right?" Jay asked. Wu looked troubled. She didn't know if he wanted her to show herself or not.

Don't do it. Just stay put.

She obeyed her little voice and waited.

"I don't know. The weapon is a bow. The Golden Bow of air. It's almost like a spirit, travelling everywhere. Invisible probably." Wu informed. Violet realized he was sort of describing her. She travels to many places with the wind and can turn invisible.

"Sensei Wu… is it possible for people to turn invisible?" Kai asked. She tensed at his question. She was afraid he had worked out their secret.

"Of course not… Why do you think so?"

"I… When I was fighting with Lord Garmadon, something invisible managed to attack him…"

"Hmmm… Tell me more when we get back to the monastery but the Bow is different. Because air is almost like a spirit, it has a mind of its own so I guess it can be summoned when one isn't expecting it and needs help most urgently." Wu replied and started to walk to the exit. The others quickly followed him while Violet slowed down.

Her side was hurting her but she couldn't faint at a time like this. No… faint isn't the right term. It just makes her sound like a damsel. Unconscious is probably the better word. She put the bow over her back and tried to catch up. She couldn't tell if Sensei Wu was making up the part that her bow is also part spirit.

They made it back to the dragons and Sensei Wu got onto Zane's dragon and Violet got on behind. The others went ahead while their dragon stayed back.

"Violet, are you there?"

"I'm here." And she returned back to her normal state. Wu smiled and placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"I trust that you helped these boys in here?"

"Yes. We even managed to do the Tornado of Creation." She reported with a smile before Zane interrupted.

"But how come we broke apart at the end?" He asked with a brow raised. Sensei looked concerned and looked at her. She didn't want to admit that her injuries were the reason why but she couldn't lie to her Sensei.

"The wound on the side of my stomach started to hurt so that's why. I think I pulled on it again when we climbed along the stalagmite."

"You did what?" Wu asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I thought I told you not to push it…" Zane sighed. All Violet could do at this instance was looked down at her fingers where the bow string have made a permanent mark.

"I'm proud of you Violet but you should have left your bow behind."

"I realized as soon as Garmadon turned Samukai into ashes. I went to leave but my bow was stuck in mid-air…" She sighed. "Come on, we need to leave before those skeletons escape from the Ferris wheel and the others will also suspect something."

"A Ferris wheel?" Wu asked with his eyebrows perked up. She sighed at his love for Ferris Wheels. That would be 2nd favorite as it is clearly tea that is placed 1st. Zane flicked at the reigns and the dragon got off the ground.

When the ice dragon entered into Ninjago, Violet quickly cast her invisibility on and held the sides of the saddle tightly as the dragon landed on a patch of green grass. She looked around and saw that they were in Ignacia. She recognized the red leaves and the stone paths with big rocks deposited on either side. She saw that the other three were already at kai's shop, meeting Nya with some town folk surrounded them as well. When the dragon landed, Zane hopped off as well as Wu. Violet just crawled forward and stroked the dragon's head.

"Thanks for keeping me hidden." She thanked the legendary beast and she hopped off. She quickly went into a shop nearby. It was filled with clothes. She quickly took an outfit and she made her way to the front counter, staying in her invisible form otherwise the people nearby will stir a commotion. She also made sure to grab a strawberry blonde wig. But she took out the required amount and left it on the counter. She quickly changed and exited the shops. Once she got behind a tree, she took off her invisible charm. She placed her bow and ninja suit underneath a root and walked causally to the shop.

"Violet is that you? What are you doing here?" She jumped and she turned around to see Zane.

"Yeah it's me but I'm fine now. If they see me like this it's okay. If they see me in my ninja suit then there's a problem. Although Kai will recognize me as a reporter."

"A reporter?"

She quickly explained how Wu wanted her to look after Kai while he trained the other boys and the only to do that is to disguise herself.

"Hey, why are you here?" She tensed once she heard kai's voice.

"Kai, it seems you're back." Violet tried to put on a smile but she could feel her lips cramping to stop.

"And you're here because…?"

"Because I grew worried." She lied. She could see Zane started to grow uncomfortable.

"You know her?" Kai asked Zane. The white ninja was troubled for a moment before Violet answered for him.

"Of course, he's my cousin."

"With the same parents that own that blacksmith in Jamanakai Village?"

"No, he's my mother's brother's son while that other pair of uncle and aunt is from my dad's side." She replied, be careful not to confuse herself. She was surprised that he remembered that but she was starting to worry. She was worried because kai was suspicious before the attack of the skeleton. She looked to Zane who was looking somewhere else.

"Kai! Zane!" All three turned their heads to see Jay waving his arms above his head, trying to regain their attention. Zane and Kai went to join the other two while Violet went to join Wu who was leaning against the wall of the shop, sipping tea.

"Ah, I see you have turned back. Where did you put your stuff?"

"Underneath a tree root. I'll leave soon though but I guess… There's nothing more exciting until Garmadon returns right?" She asked. Wu let out a sigh and looked at the boys who grabbed out their weapons.

"Stop..!"

But it was too late, they already crashed their weapons together and a forced pushed them back. All four boys groaned and the town folk went quiet. Nya quickly went to help her brother up.

"I guess it's just training that's left now. Training you is easy but these four? I'm happy to take you back anytime soon." Wu said with a bit of a tease in his voice. Violet laughed.

"How did you manage Zane, Cole and Jay?"

"It was challenging but if Kai didn't know your eye colour then I could get you to be an assisting trainer but he'll remember your face as well."

Violet sighed at this. She had always wanted to help Wu as much as she can. Only if it was possible for make-up to change her face structure but the make-up will smear when they do training.

"You should rest. I must thank you Violet. Without you, I honestly don't know how I would be able to keep an eye out for these boys."

"It's alright Sensei, I'm just happy to help. You especially helped me when we first met." She reminded with a smile. Wu laughed heartily and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Go back home and rest. You deserve it… Maybe come by to the monastery acting 'Zane's cousin'."

"Oh… you heard about that?" She asked sheepishly and her hand automatically rubbed the back of her head with a small smile.

"It's a good cover up because it also means that you can swing by and the others can't get suspicious of you." Wu reminded and winked. "Now go home. You need to rest."

She waved and turned to head back to the tree where her bow and ninja gear is. When no one looked, she turned invisible and used her wind element to fly her home… well the bounty. The monastery will always remain as her home.

When she got to the Sea of Sand, she casted her invisibility spell off and the bounty came into view. She landed on the decks and she frowned as it has seemed while she have been away, a sand storm took place because there were sand on the decks. She went to survey the damage. Lucky for her, there weren't any.

Then she started to think when she leaned over the rails to look at the miles of sand. She hasn't done training in a while, like the one at the monastery. She loved that course.

So why don't you make one yourself?

She perked her eye brows at the little's voice mentioning of this. First of all, she doesn't know how to build and she can't hire someone to do it for her otherwise the myth of the bounty would stir a commotion. She sighed then returned to her room. She quickly got change and went into her bed. She stared at the wooden ceilings until she fell asleep.

Thanks to: Guest, SmileRin, another Guest, Himeno Kazehito, LightningDanino23, DeliciouslyDangerous1, Lloydlover and another Guest! Thank you guys so much for the reviews!

Sorry for the short chapter but that's season one completed! Yay! And the next chapter is a major clue to Violet's past and more about her character so next chapter is mainly a filler and the chapters afterward would be the time between the end of season one and the start of season two. I think there's a month or two between the seasons.

But please review! ;)
