Chapter 17: Prepare for War
The sound of clashing between metal and cracklings of Fire from burning Houses woke Nya up.
Actually..
It was the screams of help of the poor people in agony. She was in tears. The door opened wide with a 23 year old Kai a mess.
"Nya. We need to get away from here." Kai with sweat ran up to her and pulled her out from bed.
Her tears kept falling down to her cheeks.
Its been seven years.. The Ignacia's borders and High Security alert levels around the whole kingdom with an insane amount of army soon became nothing but a thought.
The Kingdom has been cut connections from the others to protect its people. But now..
Unexpectedly.
Waking up to this day.. Was one of the most regretful things in life.
Abandoning her Mom and Dad being held hostage while the two of them ran and ran. Away from their beloved kingdom for safety.
Kai and herself went to a secret passage leading to the outskirts of the forest. When suddenly. Bandits surprised them.
Kai pulled Nya to his back with a fighting stance.
"What are you doing!?" Nya asked frantically at Kai. Still wearing her Night Gown.
The Bandits where looking at her with a seductive look in their face. She suddenly felt her blood boil when suddenly. Within a flash.. The Bandits where all laying on the ground.. The only one left was a Woman. She was in a black horse holding two daggers with an angry look in her face.
"Master Said the job would be easy. But look at that, I thought after seven years you idiots would forget your Ninja skills." She looked at the two siblings while sharpening each of her daggers.
"One of you should die. and One of you would suffer." She said. Smiling like a sadist.
Kai stepped back but then.. Nya tightened her grasp on his wrist.
"Kai.." Nya all of a sudden cried.
Her tears started to fall as Kai couldn't do anything but look helpless. The woman slowly galloped her horse to them as he raised his head up gritting his teeth.
"Execute me and leave my sister alone. Do Anything you want, just let her go please!" Kai pleaded at the woman helplessly. Nya cried..
Her tears fell to the ground.
It started raining.
"Rain..? What in the name of Garma--"
"Violet!" A female voice interrupted the woman. Kai's defensive stance kept on its place.
he won't be off guard.
"The Quiet One didn't command or gave an order for us to kill these Royals off." A buff man soon entered the scene. followed by another man on a brown Horse as his bloodred eyes where only visible.
"Who are these people, Kai?" Asked the Sixth confused. A sweat dropped from Kai's forehead.
The Fire Ninja recognize them from anywhere.
"Thieves of the South." Kai said. Making these three strangers silent turning their attention to him.
"Pardon?" The buff one raised one of his brows.
"Thieves of the South. In short, You guys want treasure from us." After Kai finished his sentence. The woman attempted to hurt him on the spot. But the buff one quickly pulled her leg. And the bloodred eyed guy hold her back by pulling her hand.
"OoOhH! I swore! You are so arrogant and Brainless I'd kill you pulling out your organs on the spot!" The woman raged. Nya shivered from her warning. The rain got more heavy.
"Could it be?" The buff one asked. Kai unsheathed his sword and pointed it at them.
"Get Closer you'll be roasted and sliced in No time!" He warned. Nya was behind him.
But then. The buff one walked up to Kai. As the prince attempted to swing. The sword he used..
Broke into little pieces of metal.
"What the..?" Kai stunned. With wide eyed. The buff one pushed him aside.
"Its a Curse my dear friend." He said. His voice sounded serious and looked at the sixth.
"We are honored to meet you again, Nya." He boomed. Nya confused and surprised at the same time. He knelt down in front of her.
The two Knelt down too. Getting off their horses obviously.. Kai was confused. After a few seconds.. The rain stopped. The three strangers that Kai called thieves stood up. The buff Man infront of Nya tackled the dumbfounded princess as she hugged back.
"Get off from her! You... You.. guy!" Kai running out of names to call. The woman laughed.
"Pathetic! Can't even fire a.. Uh... What do you call it Mister E?"
"Insult." 'Mister E' answered. The woman laughed.
"Killow is My name little red." The buff one said.. Just then Nya's eyes widened with surprise. "And we have no intention to hurt any of you."
"Killow!? As in.. The Refugee kids with Violet and the guy I called E?" Nya gasped.
Kai's eyes widened.
"What the heck? These are the same kids you used to be friends with when I'm away from home? The three refugees?" Kai asked. The woman called 'Violet' glared at him.
"As always I would recall. Your brother always had the Bitter Mouth." She rolled her eyes. The bloodred eyed guy called 'E' shrugged his shoulders.
He was always a Mute one.
"What can we say.. We are Refugee Kids from the past. Its the bitter truth." Killow added and later.. There was a moment of silence.
"Ugh! Killow! I am twenty four years old already and I've had enough with your Dramatic pauses. I swore I'm gunna--" Violet was cut off when Nya interrupted her.
"Calm down.. I don't understand.. I thought the First Prince provided you guys a home? A letter was left in our old treehouse the day you guys weren't in your camp. It sounded like Violet's writing."
Nya explained. The three exchanged looks..
"What's wrong?" Asked Kai.
"But we didn't leave anything.. " Violet said.
"What? You mean My Sister had been crying through a Lie that she won't see you idiots again!?" Kai angrily exclaimed.
"Would you shut your Mouth for once and let them Finish??" Nya glared at his brother.
Kai had no response.
Killow opened his mouth to start talking.. But then. It was suddenly interrupted when a Small Dragon came up to them.
"Well.. We where tricked. What we thought there would be given shelter to us.. It was Slavery instead." Violet crossed her arms. Mister E nod in agreement as the two siblings listened.
"Wait.. You mean the First Prince.. King Garmadon himself.. Made you refugees to be his slave?" Kai in confusement. He sheathed back his sword to its place.
"Slave for what though.." Nya muttered under her breath. Killow hearing her curiosity. He decided to tell them the whole story.
In a Short Way.
"Our camp was fooled to be given a shelter for us. A Man approached our Refugee leader and said... That King Garmadon will provide us shelter and food for starters and we will live a Normal life. Our leader didn't have a choice. Violet here got really ill, So..We travelled for days. We didn't leave any letter though."
Nya kept silent.. Kai moved closer.
"As we travelled. The man was getting suspicious. I had sleepless nights wondering where this man was getting us. Wondering that is he just tricking us or is he serious and sure of where and did really the First prince provided us shelter?"
"Killow told me about his suspicions. Every Night the man would disappear. Frequently every Time when everyone's already asleep. He would hear screams of Agony and pain. He even tried to plan for us to ran away and go back to you."
"Instead.. Violet's immaturity and issues back in the day. Messed up everything." Killow sighed deeply.
There was a long moment of silence. But Kai then decided to brought this up.
"Who was the Man though?" Asked Kai with a curious look in his face.
E. The blood red eyed fellow. Took out a piece of cloth from his pockets. It was more like the size of a handkerchief but it was stained with red liquid. He opened it and passed it to Kai as he tried to guess what he was trying to show.
"E your showing it to that idiot the wrong way!" Violet snarled rolling her eyes. E bowed apologetically and turned it to the other side while Kai glared at violet.
Nya's eyes widen.
"You meant The First Prince which was Lord Garmadon. Was the man himself?" She gasps. Killow crosses his arms.
"Not only he was Lord Garmadon. But those sleepless nights of my younger days. And hearing screams.. It was the Overlord's blood and the Overlord himself going out of his body."
The three and the two royals where too distracted with their small discussion. Until. A firgure came up to them wearing a Mask.
"What the Heck." The three other what Kai called Bandits looked terrified completely.
"Shoot we where too Distracted we forgot about--"
"Violet." Violet stiffened. Kai looked at her coming to snort. But was stopped when the figure cane up close.
"M-master!" Killow stuttered looking afraid bowed. E kneeled and bowed at the figure.
"We where distracted! We forgot about--" a Sword was thrown when Killow tried to explain. It was close to slicing him in half near his..
Where the Sun don't Shine.
"What in the world of Ninjago is going on?" Kai being angered by the sudden interruption. The figure turned its head looking at them. Nya smacked Kai on the head when a sudden another flying sowrd where heading towards them.
Kai's eyes widened with surprise. His senses automatically made him swipe Nya's legs off of the ground and carry her away from where the sword was approaching.
It landed. Where their past position was. Kai was sweating hard.
"Put me down Porcupine!" Nya yelled. As Kai dropped her to the ground slowly.
"No any showing of gratitude for Saving your butt there?" Kai retorted.
"No!" Nya argued.
Nya looked at the figure with a Suspicious one.
After a few seconds.. Nya was walking up close.
"Do you want to get yourself Killed!?" Kai deadpanned. Nya's tracks didn't stop. The figure noticed her presence and raised a sword.
The sword swung heading towards her. Nya's eyes shone like the ocean.
Kai screamed before her sister would be slain in front of his eyes.
"NYAA!!!" Kai screamed on the top of his lungs calling out to what seemed to be an idea less Nya..
*Swoosh!*
A wave appeared as Kai whom fell to his knees closed his eyes.
Nya being surprised. A big gush of water came out of nowhere.. A whirlpool but it was spinning instead on the ground.
A whirlpool is tornado but instead in Water.
The Water Tornado looked a lot like Nya's Very own Spinjitzu. The sword that was flung towards her a moment ago was inside.
The mysterious figure froze in its place looking stunned by the Tornado as it slowly cooled down.
Nya's own crystal Icy blue eyes where back from the oceanic color.
"Your a girl. Behind that mask.. I can see through you that you have a good intention but you where slightly mad because you don't like tardiness." Nya exclaimed looking at her friends.
Killow, Mister E and Violet shaking with fear.
As Nya claimed the figure would be a girl. She took her Masked helm off as Straight White hair fell.
"I'm not mad I'm upset. These idiots made me worry too much!" She rolled her eyes. And then her armor disappeared like smoke.
"What was that!?" Kai exclaimed running up to them as she hugged Nya close to him.
"Oh." The girl turned her head seeing Kai in a defensive stance.
"YOU!?" Kai barked glaring at her while pointing his finger. In union with the mysterious girl.
Nya rose her eyebrows confused. The three 'idiots' came up to them but they where beside The snow haired girl.
"Y-you two know each other..?" Nya asks confused as the snow haired girl averted her gaze to her.
"Firehead's your brother?" The girl asked looking at Nya.
"She's my sister Miss Jade Princess.." Kai gritted his teeth. The girl gasped.
"HEY! YOUR A DISRESPECT. THATS A FLAW TO OUR RULES! No one calls the Quiet one her real identity when you are with the Quiet one!" Violet pointed her dagger at Kai.
"Yeah! Yeah! Whatever. What the heck are you even doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to help those in need around your kingdom? If you are the Jade Princess! You should be wearing Make up--"
*Smack!*
Nya smacked Kai square in the head as he grunted in pain.
"I'm sorry for his manners your highness.. Kai doesn't really know the word Respect means." Nya the eyed Kai as he glared at her back.
The snow haired 'Jade princess' sighed deeply.
"It's alright. I've known this idiot four years back. He was that idiot that tried to flirt with me back at the Jade ball four years ago. Not knowing I was engaged." She sighed.
"What's your real name?" Asked Nya. The snow haired girl looked around her surroundings as she walked up close to Nya.
"I'm Harumi."
~•~
"Thief! Thief! Thief! He stole my belongings! Help! Guards!" A woman screamed on top of her lungs. Just as guards started to chase the mysterious so called Thief.
He smirked under his mask. Them not knowing he was a silver spoon.
No wait scratch that. He's the crowned prince.
The crowned prince of the South east kingdom known as Tesla.
"Halt!" The guard commanded. The thief looked around him as he was cornered.
The guards where smirking under their helm as he stood up to his calm stance. He raises up his hands with a sign of defeat.
"There's no escape now my boy... Give us the woman's purse back and no one will get hurt." The head guard warned with a smirk while pointing his sword at him as the others followed.
The thief crossed his arms and rolled his eyes under his mask.
"You always say that and later send criminals to prison! Bunch of liars." He scoffed. Making the head guard grunt.
"That's what our job is. Now bring back the purse!" He signaled his fellow guards to seize the mysterious thief..
Yeah, You'll get the purse but you won't return it to the owner. I know your ways Enigmus.
He thought in his mind as he jumped high when the guards tried to tackled him all at once.
"Wow.. I'm so scared." He said sarcastically mimicking a voice of a little girl.
The head guard which he called Enigmus grunts. He grits his teeth.
"Look Pal! Just work with us will Ya! You've been wanted for Six years straight and the King wants your head! He'll give us a Big reward!" Enigmus charged at him as he ran behind him within a flash shoving Enigmus to the ground.
"What the!?" The Head guard was slightly shocked. His sword where out of his grasp... He tried to look for it as he felt a foot stomped on his chest.
"Wow.. What a shiny sword from the King! I can't believe it! I'm facing a Thief!" He exclaimed looking at The shining sword...
"Yo Cobble! Check this out!" The thief called. They where in the alleyways.. But then in the dark corner.. A buff teen ager appeared.
"Hello Uncle." The boy greeted kneeling to his height. He was being tied up.
"Cole! You little Brat! What.. What is this!? UNTIE ME!" The pleading head guard yelled. Cole bumped both of his fists as it lit up into a blinding color. A scar on the side of his forehead was visible as it shone along with his fists.
"Sorry Uncle Enigmus... But I gotta get you to Jail!" Cole laughed nervously.
"Instead of doing justice to stop crimes. You do crimes!" He added. His magma hands cooling down.. He balled his hands to a fist and did not let the man speak any further as he punched him square in the head slowly passing out.
Cole clapped his hands and then whistled slowly walking back.. Like nothing happened.
Enigmus grunted.. The thief following Cole behind was stopped when suddenly...
"Who are you... Thief..?" Asked Enigmus. He was pulling the unknown and wanted thief that they had been hunting for six years's scarf.
The thief smirks under his mask as Enigmus pulled the scarf weakly.. It only revealed his smirking lips.
"Im not only a Thief..."
Within a flash.. The thief was on top of The Half unconscious Enigmus before he passes out. Coles eyes widened.
"I'm the one they call the Lightning Thief."
