The Truth: A Ninjago story

Zane & Pixal

Part 2: Family's stories  

(Pixal)

They're my family.

As a Nindroid, I never had a family by choice until now they love me like a human, not a servant. We have stopped for the night and set up hammocks so our asses wouldn't get wet while sleeping, each of the girls working harmonies together while the boys stood around awkwardly doing nothing. "So how does your power work?" I was sitting in my hammock when Lloyd ghosted through to sit next to me he was followed by the rest of the boys except Jay who was sleeping somewhat sleeping close to Nya "my powers?..." "yeah like...how did you get them?" all eyes were filled with wonderment with Cole's question "an old lady" I laughed at their befuddlement of what I said "we were on a mission actually one of the backup missions..." "wait, what is a backup mission?" "will you let her tell the story" "well, I want to know" "and I will tell you... a back up mission is when sensa wants us to look out for you which usually is us just saving your asses and giving you clues you overlooked" "wait...you help us? There's no way" I smiled at their cluelessness "yes and we have saved your life multiple times; expasaily Lloyd's... now may I get back to the story?" in their befuddlement they areed "now we were on a mission in the city of Stiix and we were following a lead when this old lady stopped us and asked if we would join her for a cup of tea...because of some shinrto tradition we agreed she was very kind and it was enjoyable but it was also weird she asked about our connection to you boy but she was more interested in zane and his powers, plus it was like talking to someone who had known you your whole life... anyways after we were done with the mission, we stayed the night in this little forest close to the city; i don't know how but the next morning I had powers." "thats it... how did you know the old woman was the one who gave you the powers?" "a feeling... plus when we were traveling back to the monastery, we came across the family of the old lady she had been an elemental before...do you remember Noah Pathis also called Neuro" they had meet neuro on Chen's Island in the tournament of elements "yesss..." "that was his grandmother, and that's the story of how I gained powers and half of a power source" "half a power source?..." "did you really think I would give away zanes heart?" I shouldn't have said it but when I did... my heart malfunctioned and sparked. "Are you okay, pixal?" "I'm fine" "umm pixel I'm glad you are okay but I don't think harumi is" jumping down from my hammock I made my way to Harumi who was really having a night terror her body seemed as if it was being possessed trying to wake her fatal knowing from the past that only vaina could wake Harumi "cole, go wake up vania" try as I must Harumi's mind was impenetrable when she was asleep. I could see vaina wake with a start then move faster than me to Harumi's side, quickly blooming a flower in her hand and crushing then holding it up to Harmui's nose. She too woke up with a start. Her breathing was hard knowing she would be embarrassed when she looked behind and saw us. I brought the boys back to my hammock where we could watch "you too..." They laugh as sisters at Harumi's comment "is this normal?" "every night sometimes worse"
