Chapter Five: Nya interrogates Zane...
"Okay...what about my girlfriend that you know that I don't know. Cause I have a hard time believing that you know something I don't. I mean this is my girlfriend..." "Nya is Samurai X." "We're talking about here... wait what did you just say!?" Jay paused in his ramblings, staring at me as if I had grown a second head. With all of my observations though, I don't blame him one bit.
I clasped my hands in front of me, my eyes latching onto Jay's startled blue ones. "I said... Nya is Samurai X."
"You don't know that...and she would have told me if it were her!" Jay wailed, clearly distraught over that detail.
Amusement flashed through me as I wondered what had him more worried. "Jay...are you worried that Nya is going to get hurt when she clearly is well versed on what she is doing..." Probably has been doing it for years by the time she decided to come back to the past. "Or are you more concerned on how K...Drake is taking it?" If I could sweat I would be dripping right now. I nearly gave Kai's secret away!
As it was, Jay hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary with what I had just said. "Of course I'm nervous about how he's taking! He should have said something!"
I bit my tongue to point that the fact that he didn't appear to mind his dating her meant that he was going steady with Nya in the future. "I am sure that he would have voiced his opinion about it if he actually does care that you are dating his sister." More likely he would have pulled Nya to the side and yell at her if she's going steady with another guy in the future. Note to self, find out exactly how far into the future those two are from.
"I guess..." Jay looked uncertain about that, shifting slightly from foot to foot.
"Two things. One, I thought you guys would be recruiting the entirety of the elemental masters to help you fight Chen the Idiot, and two..." Nya lunged across the room, grabbing me by both shoulders as she shook me fiercely. "How did you figure it out!? You aren't supposed to know!" Oops. Looks like she followed us.
~Nya's POV, backtrack a few...~
Zane clasped his hands in front of him, his eyes latching onto Jay's startled blue ones. "I said... Nya is Samurai X." What...no! He shouldn't know that!
"You don't know that...and she would have told me if it were her!" Jay wailed, clearly distraught over that detail.
Zane remained his typical calm as he responded to his question. "Jay...are you worried that Nya is going to get hurt when she clearly is well versed on what she is doing or are you more concerned on how K...Drake is taking it?" He nearly used Kai's real name... how does he know any of this!?
As it was, Jay hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary with what he had just said. "Of course I'm nervous about how he's taking! He should have said something!"
Zane sounded slightly on the exasperated side of things. "I am sure that he would have voiced his opinion about it if he actually does care that you are dating his sister."
"I guess..." Jay looked uncertain about that, shifting slightly from foot to foot.
Now would be a good time to interrogate Zane. I don't care that he's my best friend's future husband... I am grilling him for answers! "Two things. One, I thought you guys would be recruiting the entirety of the elemental masters to help you fight Chen the Idiot, and two..." I lunged across the room, grabbing him by both shoulders as I shook him fiercely. "How did you figure it out!? You aren't supposed to know!" Zane looked guilty at the sight of me, which only made me feel bad. Releasing him, I crossed my arms in a huff, a scowl creasing my brow. "Well?"
Zane shifted, glancing between Jay not my husband yet and myself, worry reflecting in his eyes. "I like to think I am the most observant in the group. Not only do you know sign language, but the reason why you know sign language lines up with the reason why he is a mute. I did not connect the dots until the incident where the two of you were trying to get Sweetie Pie and myself together."
I blinked rapidly, positive that I had misheard him. "Did you just call Pixal...Sweetie pie?" Nope...there is absolutely no way he had called her that. He doesn't even call her that in the future!
"Yes. We've been going steady since your failed attempt at playing matchmakers." Zane looked totally unabashed at that statement. Well, at least I have confirmation that Juni and Icelynne will still join us in another couple of decades.
"You could have at least told us that it worked..." I grumped at him, a pout forming on my lips.
"Maybe he didn't think it important...also you two forgot that I'm standing right here... didn't you?" Jay cleared his throat loudly, exasperation flooding his features. Uh, he looks cute when his exasperated.
"Sorry Jay." I chimed in perfect unison with Zane. Giving my head a quick shake, I turned to face both of them. "You need to get all of the elemental masters to team up against Chen. Don't ask how I know, its the same as my brother's feelings, Chen is planning on turning everyone that works for him into an Anacondrai and conquer all of Ninjago. He is using this Tournament to gather the needed ingredients for the spell."
Jay suddenly looked very pale. "Um...what kind of ingredients does he need?"
"Just all of your powers. Everyone here is walking straight into a trap." I crossed my fingers behind my back that Kai had already dealt with the staff so the stealing our powers wouldn't be too much of a problem for us. "You guys have to promise me that no matter what, you will befriend Skylor. Chen is an idiot when it comes to underestimating Ninjago as a whole, and a jerk when it comes to his parenting skills. Ask her what happened when her mother died. It'll make you want to strangle Chen." I glanced between the two, before glancing over at Zane. Oops... Jay interrupted me before I could ask him what else he knows. Oh well.
A/N:Done! Okay...not a rewrite of an episode. But this totally needed to happen! And I am sure that I jsut amde all of your days...also I'm not supposed to be working on this story. Its supposed to be Yin and Yang...but I have writer's block there (Yes... I know it's just a rewrite of the movie where Shang and Mulan are married through the whole thing...) so I checked to see what was next after that... Princess Barbie... I have writer's block there too. So I checked to see what story was after that one...and it was this one! And, uh... I don't have a writer's block on it. Which makes sense... that's why I put the cliffhanger in there. So I would know where to pick up. So yeah... Nya is trying to push them towards Skylor cause Kai/Drake is being held prisoner. Of course that just gives me an idea... yeah I am definitely using that in this story. Oh boy...I'm rambling.
Anyways... Dad has to work from home for who knows how long, we've been told three weeks but I'm not entirely sure about that. So...to make sure that he gets enough wifi to work, Mom has limited when we can use wifi. Mainly, in the early-ish evenings and weekends. That way Dad can work and we still get our computer time without making things hard for him. Weekend is when I plan to look up all the stories that I am reading to see what had updated during the week. Thanks for your understanding!
Reviews:
PiratePirata: Hmm, my favorite non-ninja elemental master is Skylor...and yeah I think they all need more screen time than they got. Just saying! I'm afraid Chamille and Skylor are the only ones that will get extra attention on this story. (I really hate the fact that Chamille left the others in the dust/turned evil. Nya is going to work to make sure that doesn't happen here.)
grungekitty: Not sure about the future part...but you now know when he figured out that Nya is Samurai X. Nothing about Kai/Drake's real name though. It was around then though, since he hasn't been saying Drake's name since the prologue. (When the yell at him in unison, he uses a recording of them doing so.)
Bookkeeper2004: Uh... I wonder what will happen next too... kidding! I know but that would be spoiling the story. Nya now has to step up and basically be their spy and 'Garmadon' for the duration of the Tournament. I feel almost bad for her.
phetiamwantip: Thank you! And thank you! Oh... and trust me with how many stories I have, I've got a plenty long enough break between chapters! And I copy-pasted your name this time...so much faster.
Review!
