arrowchristian: Thanks! I tried rewatching several seasons of Ninjago to analize the dialogue, but eventually I found it's just easier to look up the transcripts and just hyperfocus on the dialogue lol. (And thanks for understanding!)
flavia'paredes2602: Lol sounds good, here it is!
Lloyd stepped away from the crack, allowing Kai and Jay to examine the strange sight. After a couple of seconds Jay let out a shrill shriek, startling whoever was peeping at them into disappearing in a flash of green light.
"Jay!" Kai growled in an exasperated tone, flicking the master of lightning in the back of the head.
"What!? It's not my fault there was a creepy pair of eyes spying on us!" Jay shot back, jabbing the fire elemental in the ribs. Kai winced and raised his hand to hit the blue ninja back as it blazed with fire, but Lloyd got in the middle of them, forcing Kai's hand to his side. The fire ninja grumbled a bit but didn't bother to continue the fight, reluctantly putting out the fire on his hand.
"How 'bout instead of fighting we find out who was spying on us?" Lloyd pointed out, and Jay nodded frantically. Kai sighed but still nodded his head, unenthusiastic but still confirmation.
Kai and Lloyd split up while Jay told the group what had happened. Lloyd took the side with the notch in the wall while Kai dashed to the other side, searching thoroughly for the creep.
Soon the other ninja joined in, everyone taking part in searching for the weirdo.
After about fifteen minutes of searching the team was getting weary, and Cole and Jay had already given up, lying with their limbs splayed out. Lloyd could tell that Kai and Nya were getting fatigued too, and Zane had already confirmed that there was no one else near the monastery other than the fellow ninja and Master Wu.
Lloyd sighed, considering giving up. Perhaps he just imagined it.
But Jay and Kai saw it too. Unless all three of us imagined it?
Lloyd glanced at Zane, shaking his head as a way to tell the nindroid that the search was finally off. There was visible relief coming from the ninja of ice after Lloyd's que, and Zane rushed over to Kai and Nya to tell them the news.
Lloyd was still really disappointed however, and slightly uneasy. He knew he saw someone peeking their head out of the crack in the wall. He saw their dark coral colored eyes watching the ninja as they bickered, and yet Zane said there was no one nearby. Lloyd watched the others gather near the large golden dragon statue in the middle of the training grounds, Kai forcing Cole and Jay to stand up. Lloyd hung back for a bit, sitting on the top of the monastery wall.
Just as he was about to jump down and join the others he felt a cold hand on his back. Lloyd froze in his tracks, absentmindedly reaching for his sword, despite not being there. The crook that grabbed him must've disarmed him without his knowledge. The figure pressed a glowing orange blade against Lloyd's neck, the sharp edge digging into his skin.
"Shhh," the figure hushed, leading Lloyd down the monastery wall and towards the other ninja. At first the other's didn't notice, and the figure holding Lloyd clearly was unhappy about that predicament, clearing his throat to signal his presence. The ninja snapped their heads towards the intruder, and their jaws dropped.
"Krux and Acronix!?" the ninja gasped simultaneously, slowly pulling out their weapons and preparing to strike.
"Drop your weapons. Now I'll tell you!" Krux's voice rang, sharp and booming in Lloyd's ear. He felt the blade press harder against his neck when the ninja hesitated, and Lloyd involuntarily coughed, as if that would relieve the pressure of the blade. The ninja dropped their weapons, carefully kicking them towards the twins. Acronix emerged from behind his brother, picking up the dangerous tools and tossing them in a far corner so the ninja couldn't reach them.
"Now, where's Wu?" Acronix asked, pointing a glowing green blade at the group.
The Forward Time Blade. That must mean the Reversal Blade is what Krux is holding.
Do they have the others?
"We'll never tell you!" Jay shouted recklessly, and Kai hit him in the back of the head again. "What!?"
"Oh, I believe you will. That is, if you ever want to see your precious Green Ninja again," Krux threatened, pressing the Reversal Blade so hard against Lloyd's neck he felt a small trickle of warm blood pour down, the orange blade piercing his skin.
"Stop! Okay, we'll tell you," Cole shouted, and the others glanced towards the earth ninja with skepticism. However, they didn't interject, and Cole pointed towards the monastery. "He's in the meditation room. Now let Lloyd go."
"Not quite yet. We don't want you to surprise us while we confront your Master, so he's gonna stay with us for now," Acronix explained, and out of the corner of his eye Lloyd could see a cruel smile creeping up on the former elemental master's face.
He's not gonna let me go.
Well I hope y'all enjoyed the chapter! I'll post another in three days from now, but in the meantime please leave a review! :D
