Never Leaving Your Side -|| Lloyd X Reader||-

24

We made it to Stiix and the smell of the sea and fish instantly filled my nostrils. I hate Stiix. We walked on the docks as a fisherman welcomed us, then like three seconds later got pulled into the Endless Sea. I cringe at the poor man. Kai seemed really nervous and had to sit down. " I didn't know you were afraid of heights," Jay mentioned looking at Kai. " I'm fine with heights. It's water I hate." Kai got up

" Didn't seem to have a problem before," Zane remarked as we continued to walk. " Before I could make a Fire Dragon at will." " Remember when Kai said he would swim the entire ocean just to get back to Ninjago? Fucking idiot could never." I whisper to Jay go chuckled. "Since Morro's taken over Lloyd and our powers gone. I haven't felt-" Kai was cut off by a plank breaking under him but luckily Cole pulled him up.

" Well, now that we know ghosts don't like water either, at least we should feel safe surrounded by it." Cole added. We walked inside the small city and Jay covered his nose." Ugh, what a dump. You'd think the thief who stole the Scroll of Airjitzu would have better taste." Jay commented. 

" Jay. This is Ronin that were talking about. That man would steal you if you were worth anything." I smirk and Jay looked offended. "We have to figure out which rock he's under and get to the Scroll before Morro does," Cole said as Zane said that we would split up to look for Ronin's whereabouts.

We looked around for a while before grouping up to search the last possible place. A pawn shop, of course. " Wait a minute, this is my dad's Blade Cup trophy. What's it doing in a pawn shop?" Cole questioned after finding the trophy. " Selling stolen goods? Ha, sounds like we might have stumbled on the right place." Kai added.

Ronin whistled as he carried a vase out. Jay, Zane, and I jumped down behind him. " Ronin." Said man turned around. " Going so soon?" Jay questioned. We surrounded the middle-aged man."  If this is about our last encounter, it was only business." " You mother fucker, you left us in the mouth of a-" Ronin cut me off. "  So you're still upset. Let me make it up to you." 

Ronin put down the vase by his desk and pushed a button. " Aha!" A Vengestone net came down but didn't even come close to us. I cross my arms and glared at the thief. " Uuuh. That was a mistake. I can explain that." Ronin panicked. " So nothing here is legit, including you bitch." I was still very very angry at Ronin. "Yeah. I bet your airship's not far either. What do you call it again? Rylo? Ruby?" Jay added.

" R.E.X. And could you have a little sympathy? Sold her so I could buy this place. As you can see, I'm trying to make an honest living." I start laughing at honest living. "Honest enough to steal the Scroll of Airjitzu?" Kai glared at him. " The Scroll of Who-whatzu?" Ronin tried to play dumb even though he already was as smart as a bag of rocks. And that's insulting rocks!

"Airjitzu. It can make a Spinjitzu Master fly." Jay corrected. " Yeah. So hand it over or we can make you fly." Cole threatened. " Whoa, cool down, fella. Even if I had such a thing, it sounds pretty old and important. Definitely not something I'd keep on site. And definitely too much for you to afford. Maybe I can interest you in some unique weapons? I've got Jadeblades, obsidian armor..." Ronin trailed off showing us stuff he stole.

" Jadeblades? " I question. Did this bitch work for Master Chen at some point? " Have anything that can vanquish ghosts?" Zane asked. " Hmmm, ghosts you say?" "  Yeah. They hate water, but we're not looking for water balloons. We need something reliable." Cole added. "  Hmm, what you're looking for is an Aeroblade, forged by Deepstone, an aquatic material mined from the bottom of the ocean. Very unique. Even more expensive."

"Ugh, can't you see he's giving us the runaround? We want the scroll, Ronin. What do you want for it?" Kai asked. " Two hundred." " So you did have it!" Zane held out his arm to stop me from doing anything. "What? Two hundred? We don't have that kind of dough!" Jay added in. " Come on, you guys once had the Golden Weapons. You honestly telling me you've never pinched anything?"

" No! We don't pinch. And we don't even have pockets." "What if we were to tell you all of Ninjago depends on it?" " Well then, that changes everything. Four hundred." Ronin just changed the price and I'm about to hold the wrath of the Overlord in about two seconds. " You can't just double the price!" Jay was upset. " My shop, my rules." I mock Ronin in an annoying voice. First you leave us to die, and now you do this!? Oh, First Spinjitzu Master give me the strength to not kill this man.

We huddled together to discuss things and Kai started to talk about Cole asked what Zane thought. "What, my opinion doesn't matter?" "No Kai. It doesn't. Zane's leading now to shut up." I sigh. "Well, I say we give him what he wants. I sense if we won't, Morro will." Zane answered. " All right, but let me negotiate." Kai tried to negotiate but ended up raising the price. Now I'm going to kill Kai.

We walk out of the shop together and I insult Kai on his skills. " I didn't see you do any better." " I totally could! Try me! I used to negotiate the price of comics, candy, clothes, food, and a whole bunch of other things before! I got 20 dollar clothes for 10. I could do so much better!" I remarked sassily. " (Y/n)." I scoff and cross my arms once Zane said my name. 
 Now then. Let's find out how to make some money."

"Hey, glad you five showed up. Even with a hundred coin a head, couldn't find anyone willing to go out there and complete the dock." A Foreman said to us as we walk over to him. " Er, I don't know, we have to work over water?" Kai got scared. "Ain't the water you gotta be careful of. It's Strangle Weed. Grabs a hold of you, doesn't let go. But I could use a good team. How about it?"

"Just remind yourself, after we complete this, we'll be able to buy the Scroll." Zane told Kai. "Uh, we'll do it!" Zane told the man. We start to work and actually were doing a good job. Zane led us through everything. Kai was using the crane, Jay and Cole built, and I made sure the strangle weed wasn't going to kill us. Zane tried to shoo away a fly but accidentally swallowed it.

Kai ended up smacking Zane with the pole which made Zane talk backward. "What's wrong with him?" Cole questioned.  " He's talking backwards." I look at Zane confused. The strangle weed I was supposed to be taking care of slowly crept up and grabbed Cole's leg. Zane was able to save Cole from the weed but Kai dropped the pole. Zane pushed us away and we started to run away as the dock broke. " FOR FUCKS SAKE KAI!"
