Ninjago: Bluehood (Book 2 Of The Bluehood Trilogy)

Make the right choice

??? looked from Scratch, who was giving him a gentle smile to Lloyd, who had a concerned, but suspicious, look on his face, to Kai who was outright giving him a death Glare.

"Please son, Stop this. You are not 'Bluehood' Your Jay Walker. The lightning Ninja."

???'s biological mother's Words echoed inside his mind. Though they were quiet, His state of conflict had him permanently awake and alert, so that even the slightest noise was noticed.

??? put a hand to his head, thinking he was only hearing things, which he was, But He had began to believe that the dream was real. And that all of his parents had really communicated with him via dream and told him what had happened to them. That they had Seen ???'s Reformation into a member of 'The Just' and were looking down on him now. Willing him to do the right thing. 

"You okay?" Scratch asked ???, acknowledging the fact that ??? had started to back away from them. He himself had only just noticed. Lost in his thoughts, his body had been on autopilot and working with his emotional state, which wanted to get out of the situation as fast as possible, Thus he had been backing away from them all. 

He looked at scratch, who, despite her name, had little to no injuries. That was probably because she hadn't been in a fight. At least not since they 'took' Tempest.

Tempest, The name made ??? rediscover undying hatred towards the boss of the entirety of 'The Just' If he went back with scratch, He would have to face her and explain what happened with her and Revenge.  Tempest would be imprisoned and tortured along with her co-worker until he gave the orders to kill them. It was the perfect Revenge

Revenge. ??? winced at the word. Why did a foolish elemental master have to occupy what used to be one of his favourite words? 

??? Looked to Lloyd and Kai. Sure it wasn't their fault that they hated ??? all those years ago. But they should have realized something was wrong when they started hating him overnight. But the question was: could he forgive them and look past everything they did, Tampered emotions and all?

??? didn't know if he could even Forgive anymore. All he had been doing for the last three years was Harming others to get 'that word' the one that he couldn't even say because of who occupied it's name.

"Stop!!!" He heard Scratch scream before a barrage of dark crystal spiked launched at ??? he didn't have time to dodge. He snapped out of his thoughts and braced for the feel of being impaled. It never came. he looked at scratch, shocked. She smiled guiltily and rubbed the back of her neck.

"Sorry, You summoned the scroll's power again. Lightning was going all over the place. I tried to yell for you, but I got nothing, so I had to do that."

??? looked behind him to see dark crystal impaling the stone cliff behind him. He knew that Scratch's accuracy was deadly, If she wanted to hit him, she would've.

"Look, I know you have trouble controlling the Scroll's power. But We can help you harness it. Things like that take years of practice. I know i still have to train with my powers." Scratch told him.

"If you want to control the scrolls power, You should probably go to Wu about it. He's wiser and he knows what he's doing." Lloyd told ???.

??? Thought back to his favourite memories with 'The Just'. When he had been given his old bedroom, when  he was training and watched Scratch beat up Aria, Finding Echo. He cherished these memories. But then remembered that the only reason he was there was because of a Lie. Because Revenge messed with The Ninja's emotions.

??? Thought about his best memories with The ninja, when he proposed to Nya, when they were singing 'The weekend whip' Together, when Even when they were being beaten by a chicken together. Although he still had trouble forgiving the Ninja for what happened, He was willing to let them prove themselves. He looked at the city, Which was overrun with 'The Just'. He thought about what they would do. They would kill everyone who got in their way of their clients with no remorse. Just like all the guards that Scratch killed, their families would never get to say goodbye. Maybe they wouldn't even know what happened to them. For all he knew, Scratch could have made orphans. He didn't want anyone to go through that.
