The Crazy Art Called Love

22 | Footage

~~Ultra Violet's POV~~

"Quiet One! We just got information on the Jade Princess." Someone called from behind me and I sighed. I really cannot catch a break with these people.

I turned around with my back facing the new designs I had been working on my bike.

"What is it? This better be worth it!" I snapped and crossed my arms.

He gulped before holding out a tablet in front of me. I snatched it from his hands and examined the footage on the screen.

"So, the Jade Princess was out partying? Why don't we leak the rest of the pictures as well?" I smirked and we both made our way into the depths of our headquarters.

A large group of bikers piled in the room with sacks in their hands. Another successful heist. We had to build our image and committing crimes were the perfect way to do so. Yes, it's Christmas. But that isn't stopping us.

"Merry Christmas, Ultra." Killow greeted me with a smile and held up a box wrapped in colorful paper with a bow on top.

"Oh. Thank you, Killow." I took the box from his hand and opened it. Inside was a smaller version of a trident. Tiny, but still an effective weapon.

"I just thought you needed something to defend yourself when the time came." He rubbed the back of his neck and I could see hints of redness on his face. But I can never tell since his face paint was covering it.

"Perfect to interrogate the ninja." I ran my hand through the blade and inspected the weapon in my hand. "Prepare the bikes. We're going for a Christmas heist."

The cold breeze crashed into my face as I raced with the other members of our little bike gang through the skyways of Ninjago City.

The malls were a perfect place to ransack at this time of the year. With no hesitation, I rammed my bike against the doors and drove inside the place.

~~Lloyd's POV~~

"Merry Christmas, Lloyd!"

"Merry Christmas!"

I was bombarded by greetings from the second I woke up until I ate breakfast. Of course I greeted them back, but I noticed Harumi still hadn't texted me since last night. Was the kiss too long? Was I too obvious that I was already developing feelings and drove her away?

"Check it out! Someone from the party uploaded a video of Harumi's dance." Jay forced a tablet in my hands and I looked down to find footage of last night. I could watch this over and over again but my eyes widened when I saw the views.

"You've got to be kidding me. How is this at 4 million views already?!" I exclaimed and scrolled down the comments.

Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought she looked adorable and hot at the same time. As I read the comments, I felt anger stir my stomach but I dismissed it. It was Christmas, I can address the people who found her attractive another time.

"This is bad. If the Emperor and Empress see the Princess goofing around they'll probably never allow her outside again." I handed the tablet back to Jay and stabbed my fork into the pancake.

"Master Lloyd! I just got reports a biker gang is robbing the mall." Pixal reported and we all immediately sprung up. This was our chance to finally capture them.

"I know it's Christmas, but it looks like we have no choice." I sighed and nodded at the team.

We all got dressed in our gi and headed to the bounty. Nya immediately stirred the ship towards Ninjago City and I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Sorry, Rumi. Duties come first. We all climbed down the anchor and kicked the door open. The walls and floors of the mall was now covered in these tire tracks as a group of bikers continued to race through the halls.
