The Serpentine Queen || DISCONTINUED ||

Can of Worms

By morning I had not found a parachute on the flying ship, so I continued to stay invisible until I thought was the right time. One by one the ninja got up to start the day and to my surprise, none of them alerted the others that I was not in the cell anymore. I followed the red ninja into a gaming room and soon Lloyd entered. I felt bad that I had tried to leave him the night before and I wanted to talk to him but I was worried he'd tell the ninjas.

"Hey, Kai. I Saw Cole beat your high score. You should've seen it. It was pretty spectacular." Kai turned to Lloyd and said,

"You must be talking about 'Sitar Legend'. This is 'Fist to Face II'. No one beats me at my game."

"Huh, could be wrong. See you." With that Lloyd walked away and I quickly followed behind him. As we left we could hear the sound of Kai yelling Cole's name. I put my hand on Lloyds shoulder and he jumped, clearly not expecting it. I turn visible and the fear on his face, turned to joy.

"Y/n!" Lloyd shouted.

"Shh, quiet Lloyd, they don't know I'm gone." He quickly covered his mouth and I let out a chuckle.

"It's ok Lloyd, you don't have to cover your mouth. Now tell me, why are you messing with the red ninja?" I asked Lloyd as he uncovered his mouth.

"Oh it's not just the red ninja, I'm messing with all of the ninjas. Uncle Wu is having me mess with all of the ninjas stuff for some boring lesson." I tilted my head and looked at Lloyd before saying,

"Can I help?"

      
  (Time Skip brought to you by my beat-up couch)

Lloyd and I were sitting in a room with the ninja arguing behind it when Lloyd started laughing and opened the door to reveal the room full of supplies.

"You did this!" The ninjas yelled simultaneously. Lloyd tried to do an evil laugh before saying,

"And Y/n helped me." He smirked and I turned visible again. The ninjas were shocked and the red ninja stepped forward, but Cole stopped him.

"Calm down Kai, you know what Master Wu said." Kai stepped back and I raised an eyebrow.

"Lloyd on the other hand..." Cole continued.

"I call dibs!" I was about to step forward but Wu stepped in first.

"No dibs. I put him up to this for today's lesson. I wanted to show you the destructive power of rumors and that jumping to conclusions can only lead to trouble." Lloyd and I smirked as Wu continued.

"Did you ever think to find out if the accusations were true?"

"Uh, no offense Sensei, but let me jump to this conclusion: Today's lesson is lame." The black ninja said.

"Yeah. Why can't you teach us to paralyze your enemy with one finger? Or find out if a man is lying by the twitch of his nose?" Jay continued complaining.

"Because not all lessons are about fighting. And I misplaced my lesson book." Wu said, mumbling the last part. I looked over at Lloyd and saw a book in the back of Lloyds pocket. Apparently, Kai saw it too, so he walked up to Lloyd and took it out of his pocket.

"You mean this lesson book?" Kai asked, handing it back to Wu.

"It was the perfect plan, until you had to show up and mess everything up." The door was closed by Cole while Lloyd was still talking. I look over at him once more and say,

"It was a good try." I pat Lloyd on the back and the speakers suddenly come on.

"If you're done fooling around, I could use you guys in the bridge. We do still have a snake problem to attend to. Over and out." Lloyd seems a bit saddened by the reminder about Pythor and the other snakes.
