I have a job now, so updates for anything-here or Wattpad-will be slow. I will update my other ongoing Ninjago story, but when I get to the floating ship where Kai and Nya get the reversal blade, I WON'T update. I'm having trouble there. I NEED HELP! Anyways, enjoy the next chapter!
Alice's P.O.V
I watched as Nya left the room, good thing too. The emo ninja and Electroboy walked up and stood in front of me again.
"You won't get anything out of me," I growled. The old man walked out of the room.
"Does he think that there's going to be a magical way of getting me to spill where the fireboy is? Cause it won't work," I said.
"Where's Kai?" Frosty asked calmly, but I saw the fire in his eyes.
"I'm not telling. You're going to have to pry the answer from my cold, dead hands," I snarled.
"That can be arranged," the emo ninja snarled back.
"You're going to have to use regular weapons, emo ninja. I stole the golden weapons and sent them to Garmadon," I smirked.
"All right. I'm getting payback. Watch her," he then left to find a weapon to use. I laughed evilly. It's fun getting under their skin.
Kai's P.O.V(Hours earlier)
I was pacing around in my cell, trying to figure a way out. I had an idea earlier, but I needed hair oil to do it, and I didn't have that, so I was trying to figure another way.
After going around for a fourth time, I tripped and fell on my face.
"Ow," I whisper-groaned. I lifted my head to see what I tripped over. It was really dark down here in the Underworld, but being down here for so long, my eyes adjusted to the light. I saw a long, dark brown briefcase. What is a briefcase doing here?
I walked over, undid the clasps, and opened the case. When I looked inside, my eyes widened.
The other three golden weapons! But...how did all three of them get here?
Then I remembered the conversation when I woke up in the Underworld. Of course! That was the girl's plan! To replace me and steal the other weapons in the dead of night. Well, I'm assuming since she sent these ahead of her instead of bringing them herself, that she got caught. She didn't even pay attention to where she was sending the weapons; she sent them right to me!
Now, I just thought of a new plan. I smiled, fully confident that it'll work.
"Here you go," a skeleton said, bringing a tray of food, or at least what they call food, that's disgusting.
I pulled out Cole's scythe and Zane's shurikens when the skeleton turned around. I cut its' head off and threw the shurikens at it, making the head freeze to the ground. Its' body fell to the ground since there was no head to control it.
"Thank you," I said, bending down and retrieving the keys to my cell. I then unlocked the door, put Cole's scythe back, and walked out.
As I walked past the skeleton's head, I picked up Zane's shuriken.
I ran out the door of the room, finding a way out.
Alice's P.O.V
The old man walked back into the room, with a cup of, what I'm assuming, tea.
"You must be thirsty. Here," he said, holding the cup in front of me.
"You honestly think I'm stupid enough to drink that? Well, you have another thing-," I was cut off by him shoving the contents down my throat when my mouth was open.
I passed out right after I swallowed it, unwillingly.
Cole's P.O.V
"What was that, Sensei?" Zane asked a minute after the girl passed out.
"Remembrance Tea," Sensei answered.
"What does that do?" Jay wondered.
"Gee, Motormouth, I don't know. Maybe it's supposed to help you REMEMBER things," I retorted.
"What does Remembrance Tea have to do with anything, Sensei?" I asked.
"You will know when she wakes up," he replied cryptically.
"When will that be?" Jay asked.
"I estimate a few hours," he guessed.
"Okay. I'll watch her for a bit; you guys go," I planned. Jay and Zane walked out of the bridge with Sensei.
Alice's P.O.V
Memory
Six years old
I ran through the shop and to my room. I slammed the door shut and faceplanted into my bed. I let my tears flow freely now that my face was in my pillow.
"Sis? Are you okay?" Kai asked, coming in.
"Fine," I answered, though my answer was muffled from the pillow, so it came out as a totally different word.
"You don't sound fine. What's up?" he asked, sitting at the end of my bed. It took me a couple minutes to be able to stop my tears and sit up. I looked at Kai, but didn't meet his gaze, which was worried and concerned.
"You know how I went to the park?" I started. Kai nodded.
"Well, I was playing in the grass with my friends, and a boy a couple years older kicked up some sand at me. H-He said some m-mean things to me and t-t-teased m-me that I was t-too old for L-L-Leo and his b-brothers," I explained. I hugged Kai and sobbed into his shoulder. He hugged me back tightly but gently.
"K-Kai?" I sobbed after a minute.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"I'm not too old for Leo and his brothers, am I?" I wondered.
"Of course you aren't, Sis. If anyone says you are again, give them a piece of your mind," Kai reassured, giving a smirk at the end. I hugged him again.
"Thanks, Kai," I smiled.
"Anytime, Sis," he smiled back.
Fourteen years old
I was pacing on the deck of the ship, which was on the way to the Ice temple. I have been pacing for a while.
"What's on your mind?" I heard, making me jump. I turned to the voice.
"You scared me, Cole," I sighed. I walked over to the side of the ship and leaned on the railing, looking out.
"Sorry," Cole shrugged. He walked up and stood next to me.
"But, seriously. You were pacing like something's on your mind. What's up?" he repeated.
"I think that pacing in any way means that something's on your mind," I corrected. Cole rolled his eyes.
"I guess...I'm scared," I admitted.
"You don't have to be scared. We'll protect you. Me, Zane, Jay and Kai," Cole reassured.
"Not about that. Well, I guess that too, but...I'm scared about Nya. I'm scared that by the time we get there to save Nya, that she'll be...," I said.
"You don't have to be scared about that either. Nya will be okay," Cole assured again.
"But, what if she's not? What if they did something? What if she's...?" I asked.
"Then they'll have a furious, overprotective brother on their hands," Cole chuckled.
"True," I giggled.
"Thanks, Cole. I needed that," I smiled.
"What are friends for?" he asked.
Fourteen years old
"Hey, Jay, can I fly on one of those gliders you made?" I asked.
"Sure. Here you go," Jay replied, giving me a glider.
"Thanks," I yelled over my shoulder. I ran and climbed up a tree. I climbed to a decent height, not high enough to give me a big bruise, but high enough to start flying.
"I believe I can fly~," I sang, jumping off the branch I was on. I spread the wings to let me fly. It was working! I flew in circles, dodging trees.
"This is so fun!" I laughed. The wind in my hair, and against my body, felt so refreshing. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air and the freedom in the sky. I felt so free. I don't know why I haven't done this earlier; this is amazing.
"Watch out, Alice!" Zane warned. I snapped my eyes open and saw a tree in front of me. I was too close to it, so I couldn't dodge. I slammed into it.
"I'm going to feel that in the morning," I groaned. I was falling, and fast, so I tried to grab a branch to stop my fall, but either all the branches were on the other side, or they would just snap.
I fell. I closed my eyes, waiting for impact, until I hit something freezing. I opened my eyes to see myself on ice. I slid down the newly made ice slide.
"That was fun," I commented when I was on solid ground again.
"What were you thinking? You could have gotten yourself killed!" Kai scolded.
"But I didn't," I meekly responded. When Kai gets mad or scolds me, I get scared a little bit. Kai's scary when he's mad.
"What if Zane was focusing on something really crucial?" he asked hotly. I really doubt that that would happen, but I don't point it out.
"Cole can make a rock slide," I said.
"Don't drag me into this," said person said.
"Kai, I'm fine, see? Nothing bad happened. We're all good, right?" I tried to defuse the bomb that was Kai.
"Maybe. I guess so," Kai agreed.
"I'm sorry. I just...don't want to lose you," he apologized.
"I get it, Kai. I really do. I should've tried Jay's gliders in a more open area. I'm sorry," I apologized.
"As long as everyone is okay, that's all that matters," Zane said.
"You took the words right out of my mouth, Zane."
I gasped as I snapped my eyes open. I was hyperventilating.
"Oh, you're awake," a cold, familiar voice said. I looked towards the person who spoke, making my eyes widen.
"I'll get the others. Don't go anywhere," Cole said, laughing at the end and leaving the room. I didn't notice it when I woke up, but I realize now that I'm tied in chains. Just what happened?
"Can we finally get some answers, please?" Jay stressed as he, Zane, Cole, Sensei Wu and Nya walked in. I've missed them all so much!
"Come to find out stuff? Good luck with that, Electroboy," I scoffed. I did NOT want to say that!
"What's the last thing you remember?" Sensei Wu asked. Hmm...I remember being tied to a chair in a room with a skeleton as a light circled around the room. The skeleton was repeating the same thing, over and over.
"You shoving that fucking drink in my mouth while I was talking. What was that shit supposed to do? If that was supposed to be poison, that was weak," I sassed. Dam it. Why!? It's like my mouth has a mind of it's own!
"What's this about, Sensei?" Zane asked. Sensei stared deep into my blue eyes, which makes me slightly uncomfortable.
"She has remembered, but she doesn't have full control of herself," Sensei said. 'Full control'?
"What do you mean by that, Sensei?" Cole asked.
"She has been doing the things that she did unwillingly. She was brainwashed. She didn't remember who she was," Sensei explained. Wait, 'the things that she did'. What did I do?!
"You gave her the Remembrance Tea," Zane realized.
"It worked, just not all the way," Sensei sighed.
"If we got her mad, or to show a strong emotion, would it be enough for the true person to come out?" Zane asked. 'Person'? Zane, it's me!
"Where's Kai when you need him?" Jay complained. Kai? I thought he was with you!
"I thought he was with you. What happened?" I asked.
"Well, that was easier than I thought."
Easy chapter. Yes! Easier stuff to write for this one. Not jinxing it though. Bye my little ninja turtles. Review?
