Chapter 25
When Hell Breaks Loose
.:Violet:.
Her training continued like this for four days which would be a whole day in Ninjago. She had accomplished a couple things during these days. She now can move objects with her powers, she can make things hover and she can turn whatever she wants invisible when she touch it. Her time with Scarlet has been fun though. Whenever they're not training, they're both joking around or talking. But now it's time for her to leave Scarlet's paradise. Scarlet's energy to keep the place up is slowly fading and she needs to meditate or sleep to restore it.
"Zane would be worried for you." Scarlet smiled as she and Violet got into the small boat. Violet had to admit that Scarlet's sense of fashion wasn't bad. The dresses she picked suited her very well. Now, she was wearing a pair of black shorts and a lavender blue tank top. She also had a black denim jacket that ended just around her ribcages. Also, thanks to Scarlet's herbs, her burn was completely gone and her ribs were healed.
"Yeah… Would it be alright if I could tell Zane about this because he probably went in to check on me and see I wasn't in my room and he would be curious to see why my wounds have healed so fast."
"Sure, you can tell Wu too but that's all okay?"
"Actually, I haven't told Sensei Wu about you… only Zane but I'll tell him when I get the chance."
"Sure, that's fine." Scarlet replied and they ended up on top of the hill. Violet quickly gave her sister a hug.
"Thanks for everything Scarlet."
"It's alright." She laughed. "Now I'm going to send you back and I'll be gone for at least two days so don't do anything crazy."
"I won't." Violet smiled and she closed her eyes and waited for Scarlet to send her home. Suddenly, the falling feeling hit her again and she wanted to flap her arms about but she already made contact with the bed. She gasped her air and she shot up.
"Violet! How did you do that?" She looked towards the end of the bed where Wu and Zane were standing with wide eyes.
"H-Hi!" She smiled but they looked like they were gonna blow.
"You disappeared for the whole day! I had to bring Sensei Wu in here and the next thing we know is you suddenly appearing!" Zane shouted in a whisper.
"It's a long story." She muttered sheepishly.
"We got time." Wu spoke up and she sighed.
"Sensei Wu, when my parents died, I heard a voice in my head and I grew up with it. Only a month ago, that voice revealed herself as my older sister."
"Older sister?"
"She died when I was one because she had a rare form of cancer and she was supposed to be the destined Ninja of Wind." And she then went on how she and Scarlet merged and her little trip to Scarlet's paradise.
"That's…" Wu was lost for words while Zane had shock written all over his face, also lost for words.
"I know… Impossible and not something you could hear every day. What time is it?"
"It's nearly ten at night… I recommend we get some sleep. The boys had been cleaning all day and will be doing a bit more tomorrow." Wu informed her and she nodded.
"Is that old tapestry still in front of my door?" She asked and Zane nodded.
"I'll make sure to clean the rooms around here, just in case if the boys knock it over."
"Alright." She replied. The boys bid her a good night and they left. She laid back into her bed and closed her eyes. What does she wants to be reveal?
.:Kai:.
He still didn't understand how a ship this big was found in the middle of the Sea of Sand. Although he must admit, it was a pretty awesome ship even if it takes a lot of work. Now this was their second day of cleaning and there were many corridors and passages that still need cleaning. He once found a room nesting a colony of rats!
He looked down this corridor. It was fairly bare, just three doors. He decided to clean these rooms first before doing the corridor. The first room was clean, which was a relief but the second and third were clean too.
"Alright, that's weird." He muttered to himself. He walked over to the old tapestry that was draped over the wall. The artwork was woven by a dark green thread and his fingers ran over it. It was a map of Ninjago. And he looked down to his fingers, he saw dust on them. With a sigh, he yanked down the tapestry… to find another door.
That wasn't the only thing that startled him; he could hear shuffles on the other side of the door. He crouched down and peek underneath the door to see a shadow of feet tiptoeing to the door. He held his breath and listen but the scent of apple, candy and strawberries filled his nose again. He knew one person had that scent and it was Linda.
His lungs and his throat hungered for air but he clamped a hand firmly over his mouth and nose. Finally the shadow moved from the door and he took shallow and slow breaths and then big ones. He stood up quietly and placed his hand on the cold, copper handle. He turned it and entered the room quickly so he could see the element of surprise on this thief.
He only gasped at what he saw. He saw a girl before she disappeared into thin air.
"Hey, where did you go?" He hissed quietly and he closed the door and kept his back to it. He knew he trapped the invisible creature but he couldn't see a damn thing, not even a shadow from the thief. Once he heard a creak in the floor, he turned his head to the left. But something hit him hard underneath the ribs and he groaned and fell to the floor. He quickly swung out his arm and he hit something soft and the next thing he heard was a thud and a feminine cry. He knew that cry!
But he got up and pinned down the invisible girl and he was pretty sure he got her by the shoulders. He squeezed them harder and another cry sound out from underneath his face.
"Show yourself!" He hissed. "There's nothing you can do know so you may as well saw yourself and tell me why you're here."
He looked down to the floor board which is where he though her head was. With a sigh that was too familiar to his ears, she appeared leaving him stunned. Her caramel hair fanned out on the floor around her slender and heart-shaped face. Her cupid-shaped lips were placed underneath a cute and small nose. But her lavender eyes burned into his as she glared at him. He had to admit, she did look hot.
"There, you caught me. Now get off me!" She hissed but he didn't move, he glared down at 'Linda' and he gripped her shoulders harder.
"Tell me the truth of who you are right now." He snapped. He couldn't believe she and Zane were lying to them. Did Sensei Wu know about this too? He was about to ask the question again when her knee shot up and got him between the legs. He swore loudly and fell to the side and he knew he just let her slip. He quickly got up and grabbed her arm and she turned around so fast and punched him in the face.
He stumbled backwards and he held his face as he looked at her. She looked deadly, her eyes narrowed on him and she was in a battle stance. She was waiting for him to make the first move, he knew it.
"Are you really Zane's cousin?" He asked as he readied himself. He knew he can beat her; she's a bloody girl for Ninjago's sake! She didn't answer so he took the first move. He ran at her and aimed for her stomach, hoping to knock her down but she jumped over him and kicked him square in the back. Pain shot up and he hissed. He turned around and looked at her.
"You can't beat me Kai."
"I'm the ninja here, what about you?"
"I'm a ninja that have more experience than you." She hissed but she then realised what she said and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Really?"
"I'm not the one on the ground now am I?" He groaned as a response and he got up. This time, he threw a punch but she caught it in one hand and she used her other hand to hit him in the stomach. He doubled over and collapsed on the ground. "You can't beat me Kai."
"Don't you dare use my name you little-"
"Hey! What's going on here?" They both turned around to see Zane at the door.
"He found me…" He heard her say calmly. He groaned and took this opportunity to punch her in the stomach. She cried and he could feel a pair of arms holding him back so he couldn't hit her again.
"Kai stop this! We'll explain everything!"
"You've been lying to me Zane. I thought we were a team and we don't keep secrets from each other."
"Violet is part of our team too, you just don't know that and I'm not keeping secrets, I keeping her identity hidden. I made a promise and I won't break it but I failed to keep it."
Kai sighed furiously and he shrugged off Zane and glared at Violet who was getting up with a thunderous look on her face.
"Now tell me the truth." He said lowly as he glanced between the two.
"It might be better if we tell the others… I guess Sensei Wu would be disappointed." She wasn't talking to him but she was talking to Zane.
"What does Sensei Wu got to do with this?"
"I was his first student idiot. He was the one to assign me to watch over you and the others and at one point he assigned Zane to cover up the tiny mistakes I make. I was the one who saved your ass from Garmadon in the Fire Temple." She hissed and his brows rose. Now it made sense. All the pieces from a puzzle are connecting perfectly with each other. "I'm pretty sure you saw those tow snakes I killed, if I was that pathetic reporter you claim me to be then I'll be dead."
"So wait, you're the ninja that have the golden bow? Was that why the other weapons were reacting in that cave because you were watching us from a distance?"
"Yeah and there were many times when I pointed an arrow at your head." She hissed and stormed out of the room with Zane following her although he stopped once he made it past the door.
"You're coming?"
"Yeah…" He sighed and followed. They walked onto the decks and towards the bridge. Cole, Nya and Jay were confused when they saw Linda walking.
"Just follow, they're going to explain." He grumbled and he didn't bother to look at their faces.
.:Violet:.
She and Zane walked into the bridge to see Wu sitting there drinking a cup of tea.
"Violet, what are you doing?"
"Kai found me…" She grumbled back as a reply and then Cole, Kai, Jay and Nya entered the room. Now she knew what Scarlet was talking about. She got discovered by Kai and her invisibility didn't even help her.
"Is it true? Is she your first student?" She heard Kai snapped from behind. She could hear the others gasping at this new development.
"May we start from the beginning since everyone is here?" Wu asked but no one said anything in return. Violet leaned against the wall and folded her arms. Wu looked towards her and she nodded.
"I was an orphan, living on the streets. My parents died when I was young and I ran away from the orphanage. Wu found me on the streets two years ago and told me I had the potential to become a ninja that would save the world. So he took me underneath his wing and took me to the monastery which was my home." She informed them and she looked outside of the window that was displayed. She nodded her head to Wu saying he can continue.
"I trained her to be the purple ninja of the wind and air. She's also the keeper of a golden weapon, the Bow of Wind. I thought her presence may be a bit distracting so I sent her to do an undercover mission, to look after Kai while I trained Cole, Jay and Zane but by doing this, she had to move here. I also asked her to look for the map that was hidden in your shop. She has a special ability to turn invisible."
"Hold up, that's impossible, matter can't turn invisible." Jay interrupted. Violet sighed and performed her little trick before returned back solid. "Ok, that's cool."
"As Wu was saying, I had to act out as a pathetic reporter because my invisibility charm doesn't work for long hours. So when I was acting as a reporter, I kept watching Kai to see if he did have the potential as a ninja while looking for the map. When the skeletons came to attack, they got it but I searched out for their camp and got the map back, as well as retrieving my weapon." She informed them.
"Then there was our hunt for the weapons. She stayed by our side and kept guiding us but after her accident in the Caves of Despair, I entrusted Zane to cover up any mistakes she made." Wu said. She quickly looked at Jay to signal him to be quiet about her telling him the key of Spinjitzu. He nodded and looked away sheepishly.
"We then made our way to collect the sword. I saw Kai leaving during the night so I followed him. He was lured into a trap by Garmadon and he got himself beat up by a shadow. Being invisible have its advantage because I also cast invisible shadows. So I saved Kai's butt and got a scar from the blade Garmadon used."
"Wait, that scar I saw on your stomach was from that? But it looks at least three years old." Kai told her and she sighed.
"I heal fast." She simply replied. "Then once we got into the Underworld, I had to become a part of your Tornado of Creation otherwise it wouldn't have worked."
"That's why we saw a bit of purple…" Cole muttered and she nodded her head.
"But I got too close to the other four weapons when Garmadon had them and it opened up a time hole. I tried moving away from my bow was stuck in place. Only when Garmadon was gone, I could move it. When we returned back to Ignacia, Zane and I agreed to act like cousins. My stay at the monastery wasn't supposed to be that long, it was truly just going to be a visit but other things happened." She concluded.
She watched the boys carefully and they seemed to be going over the events and try to see when they might have spotted her.
"But since Violet is discovered now, she'll be a part of your team although she may also train you guys from time to time." Wu announced and she could feel her heart drop.
"What?!" She and the other four ninja chorused and they stared at Wu.
"She is clearly more experience than your four and she's already going off from time to time to go to a special training." Wu informed them. "I won't tell you this special training as it was supposed to be a secret but this will get you to know who's on your team and their skills."
"Yes Sensei." She said at once and the others followed her.
"Ummm, I think we have some visitors…" They all heard Nya and they looked out of the window.
"Oh no…" She heard Jay muttered.
Okay, over the word limit by heaps but what do you think? Thanks to: Karina FuzzyPillow Young, DeliciouslyDangerous1, Lightning Danino23, Mihoshi 2.0, Someone, Himeno Kazehito and the guest for reviewing.
And to answer some questions, the boat that Violet made? Not sure what you're talking about LightningDanino23 but the bounty does becomes the ninja's home and Scarlet's paradise would be her other home. And Please review!
