Lloyd drinks Hyperactivi-tea (N, O)

Lloyd is poking around in Master Wu's back room of 'special teas' one day.

As Wu greets a customer to Steeper Wisdom, Lloyd quickly peruses the shelves, looking for something interesting to try.  He comes across an unlabeled jar, sniffs its contents curiously, then shrugs and tucks it into his pocket for later.

-Later-

"Hey guys!  Watch me chug an entire gallon of hot sauce!"  Lloyd's shouting brings every ninja running to him.

While Nya tries to take the jug from him, she glares at the others.  "Okay, what genius keeps a gallon jug of hot sauce here?!"

"It's restaurant grade!"  Jay reads out helpfully.

Kai looks down and shuffles his feet nervously as everyone slowly turns to looks at him.  "What?  Skylor gave me some because she knows I like it!"  He says defensively.

"It's true!  I caught him hugging and drinking from it when there was a big storm once, 'cause he was scared."  Cole titters.  "It was actually really cute."

"SaucyKai."  Jay snickers.  "I ship it."

"W-Well, I-I...  This isn't about me!!!"  Kai screams.  "Besides, water and lightning together is, like, my worst nightmare."

"Excuse me?!"  Nya's glare is now fixed solely on Kai, who visibly shrinks in fear.

"Please don't hurt me!"  Kai squeaks.

Nya looks like she wants to say something else, but then she shrieks in pain, and Lloyd slips through her fingers, whooping with glee.

"Nya, are you okay?"  Jay asks her, concerned.

Nya grits her teeth and holds out her hand.  "The snot-faced little runt bit me!  GET BACK HERE, PIGLET, SO THAT I MAY END YOU!!!"

"NO!"  

"I think all the years of Lloyd's trauma have finally caught up with him."  Cole observes.

-A couple of minutes later-

"OW!"  Kai yelps.

"There he goes!"  Jay yells, pointing.

"I'M JUNGLE LLOYD!!!"  Lloyd hollers an undulating war cry, rips off his shirt and runs away again.

"Was that.. warpaint on his face-?  OUCH!"  Nya cries.

"-Yes, I believe that it was, Nya."  Zane concurs.  A small ping resounds off his body as something strikes it and flies off.  Cole picks the object up and examines it.

"It's a Nerf dart.  He's sniping at us!  OW!"

"Oh well, that's okay, then."  Jay laughs.  "As long as he doesn't find the real weapons.  Which are in a chest.  Which is unlocked.  That he can reach.  That's directly beside the Nerf stuff.  Oh my First Spinjitzu Master, we're done for!  YOWCH!"

"What's wrong with him, Zane?!"  Cole yells.

"My analysis indicates that he has ingested a tea compound that is causing him to behave in this peculiar manner.  To combat it, we must-"  A shuriken whistles through the air and decapitates him mid-speech.

"Pix is not gonna be happy about that."  Kai mutters.

"What do we do, Zane?  What do we do?!!!"  Jay screams, desperately shaking the headless Nindroid in a blind panic.

"-I assure you, sir, that my nephew is a very well-behaved young man."  Wu walks in, deep in discussion with another man.

"I WANT CAAAAAANDYYYYYYYYYY!!!"  Lloyd screeches.  He takes hold of the mans' hair and yanks it off.  "HE'S WEARING A WIG!!!"  The boy crows triumphantly.  The man takes one look at him and flees for his life, screaming in terror.  Then Lloyd whips out a sword and shears off the top of his uncles' hat.

Wu doesn't even blink.  He just sighs.  "I'm sorry, Nephew."

"For what, old single dude?"

"For this."  Wu suddenly lashes out with his staff and whacks Lloyd in the back of the head, knocking him out cold.  "I assume that the trauma has caused him to snap at last."  Wu says calmly.  "Did he not go to therapy this week?"

"Yeah, he went with Nya, Kai, and I, but that isn't it."  Jay answers.  "Before he got decapitated, Zane said that Lloyd drank some kind of tea-"

Wu gasps.  "He must've drunk Hyperactivi-tea!  It was one of my untested teas!  I was going to test it on Kai!"

"Say what now?"  Kai asks.

"We'll need the antidote!"  Wu says loudly, talking over Kai.  "Frogspawn, eye of newt, oh yes.  And tea, of course!"  Wu mutters to himself.

"It worries me that tea isn't the first ingredient on the list."  Cole whispers.

"Shouldn't you be more worried about the other stuff?"  Jay questions him.

"Naaaah!  I use newt and frogspawn all the time in my chili.  Gives it flavor."

"YOU DO WHAT?!!"  Jay screeches, horrified.

"Be quiet, you two.  This is a very precise mixture."  Wu shushes them.  Then he takes several jars and carelessly dumps their contents together, stirs the mixture, and then sits back with his hands folded into his sleeves.

"Jay may administer it."  The words fall like a death sentence, and the chosen ninja gulps.

"Can't Kai do it?"

Master Wu glares at Jay.  "Would you rather have Lloyd awake while you do it-?"

"I'm doing it now, Master!"  Jay shouts frantically.

-After Lloyd drinks it-

Lloyd wakes up and immediately starts retching.

"BLEEECH!!!  What was that?!  It tasted like Cole's chili!"

"It was only tea."  Wu smiles.

A.N.  Well, writing all that craziness was strangely liberating!  It felt unexpectedly good to do so, so I'll probably be doing something similar to this, eventually.  That is, if everyone enjoyed it!  Thank you all so much for your tremendous support!!!  🧡💙💖🐔
