Chapter Text
So there they were the fearless Ninja… playing video games…
"Fire Strike!" Kai shouted and then added, "Oh my gosh isn't that the coolest move you've ever seen?"
"Stop trying to do it yourself. We need to attack as a team." Cole said
"Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me? You have to save it!" Jay shouted and seconds later "Fantastic, I'm out of lives." Jay said
"But the lesson lives on, and I'm getting the hang of it." Zane bragged.
And then the screen went black, all the Ninjas groaned and Jay shouted. "What happened?"
"It took us three hours to get there!"
"Why would you do that?"
"Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the golden weapons of Spinjitzu!" Wu shouted
"but Sensei Wu ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace." Zane pointed out
"Yeah, peace is boring. There's no one to save, there's nothing to do." Jay said
Cole laid back, placing his hands behind his head and said, "We can train tomorrow."
"Never put off until tomorrow, what can be done today." Wu lectured
Cole was holding up a slice of pizza and said, "Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow, so if that's the case…" He was about to eat it but Wu kicked it out of his hand and Cole shouted, "Ow!" as Wu shouted, "No pizza for you! In order to reach your full potential, you must train."
"Uh, remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation? I thought that was pretty insane." Kai said smugly
"Oh, you four have merely, scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets, you have yet to unlock, You haven't even begun to tap into, what powers your golden weapons hold." Wu said
Cole stood up and he was holding the Golden Scythe and said, "You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out." he used the weapon to plug back in the wire. The Other ninjas began playing again laughing.
"Don't worry Master, we will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns," Zane said
Just then Nya Kai's sister came running through the door she was in a panic and said, "Guys, Lord Garmadon he's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village.
"Uh, isn't that where Misty said she was going?" Zane said and thenall the Ninjas panicked and tripped over each other, to run out the door.
They ran down the steps to their dragons and indeed when Kai pulled the lever. Misty's young dragoness Shine, was missing.The Ninja failed at getting onto their rides and Nya asked, "Can I help?"
"Sorry, sis where we go, danger abounds. This is a job for the Ninja." Kai said and then realized he couldn't reach the reins and said, "Uh… a little help?"
Nya looked unimpressed but helped her brother and the Ninja took off.
"Do you think, Misty's still in one piece?" Kai asked
"Let's just hope she's still okay," Cole muttered and said quietly to himself, "Please be okay, Misty,"
-Misty-
Misty saw the villagers panicking and instead of running away she ran toward, the menace instead, and she found a boy no older than her wearing a black hood and a black outfit with a skeleton rib cage print on it. She placed the Ninja sias she had away and tapped her foot annoyed and said, "You're not supposed to be here. Your No Lord Garmadon, get lost kid,"
The Boy just smirked at her and walked out from behind the fountain shouting, "It is I Lloyd Garmadon!" And he jumped onto the rim of the fountain and said, "I demand all the candy in town or else!"
Misty walked out from behind the fountain as well and spotted the other Ninjas staring and muttering to each other.
Lloyd spotted the Ninja too and his tone turned nervous he shrieked, "Uh, give me your candy, or else I'll release the Serpentine on you!"The Villagers had come back out and were jeering at him.
He then opened a can and fake snakes popped out and landed on Misty's head she shook it off and walked toward Lloyd sighing and shaking her head like an annoyed mother. The Villagers started throwing vegetables at the boy and he screamed indigently, "I asked for candy, not vegetables! I hate vegetables!"
Lloyd reeled backward, and nearly toppled into the fountain but Misty grabbed the edge of his cape and yanked him forward toward her instead causing him to fall face-first at her feet.
"I told you, to get lost! I was going to just let you go, but now, teammates are here, and I doubt they'd just do that." Misty muttered and her nose wrinkled as if she smelled something sour, she looked in disdain at the boy lying in front of her.
"You're just a kid too and you're a girl!" Lloyd shouted and wrinkled his nose scowling up at her.
Misty smirked down at Lloyd and replied smugly, "Correction I'm the purple ninja and the Master of Crystal! Misty," She reached a hand down to pull the boy back to his feet but she heard Cole say, "If there was anything I hated more than dragons, it was snakes, rubber or not." The Ninja pushed past Misty and Kai said, "Don't worry Misty, we've got it." And he and the other Ninjas picked Lloyd up and Cole said, "Don't worry, folks. We'll take care of this. Nothing to see here."
And they started carrying the boy away. Misty was of course angry and she ran up beside Kai and said, "I was handling it perfectly fine without you guys! Just give him to me and I'll make sure he gets back to his boarding school…"
But Kai just said, "Let the big kids handle this."
"Bow down to me or suffer my wrath! I'll give you the count of three. One, Two…" Lloyd shouted
"What are we supposed to do? Spank him?" Kai said
"Two and a half…" Lloyd said the ninjas exchanged looks with one another and smirked, a few seconds later they came up with a solution to place the troublesome young boy. Misty got lost in the crowd and was struggling to push her way through it. She was fuming when she found where the Ninja had placed Lloyd… they had hooked him to a sign and he was hanging above the ground.
"You Just made me your nemesis, Mark my words you'll pay for this!" Lloyd shouted
Zane went over and bought some candy, and brought it back to the Ninja, and Cole said, "Next time try paying for your candy."
"Crime doesn't pay, muchacho you can take that to the bank," Kai added
"Mm. Cotton Candy," Jay bragged and took a bit of the cotton candy in his hand.
Misty pushed her way over to the others angrily glared up at them and said, "I had everything under control! and then you guys just show up and take all the credit!"
"You're a KID!" Kai said as if he thought saying it again would ease Misty's temper but it didn't…
"I'm a Ninja just like you! I was taught by Wu way before you were! I actually train every day because I want to reach my full potential unlike most of us!" Misty shot back
"More like one-third of a Ninja…when you grow up a little more we might even say you're one-half of one." Jay teased
Cole gently placed his hand on Misty's shoulder and said, "Just let us take care of this okay Misty? Go and have fun,"
Misty screamed with rage as she shoved Cole's hand off of her and shouted, "You always treat me like I'm less of a ninja than the rest of you! And it's not fair!" she turned on her heels and ran out of the village fuming.
The Ninja watched her go, and Zane said, "Should we go after her?"
Cole ran his fingers through his messy black hair and let out a tired sigh, "Hopefully she'll calm down soon,"
"Naw, she'll come back to the Monastery eventually," Kai said dismissively.
