Lego Ninjago; Unknown Legacy

Chapter 17, We're on the Same Side

"Hey what the hell was that back there," Violet yelled.

She had followed Amber to the bottom of the mountain and into the valley off to the right. She had never really been to this side of the monastery. Amber stopped and turned around. 

"Really, you followed me?"

"Well what else am I supposed to do, you did just try to blow my fricking head off just now"

"Yea because you idiots decided to leave the damn monastery!" Amber yelled

"First of all, how the hell could we have known that Garmadon was going to make a move, and second, we took a quick break, is that not allowed?" Violet yelled back.

She shook her head and remembered what she was trying to accomplish.

"Look, I'm going to pretend like what happened there was just a small hiccup." Violet said.

"Hiccup? I meant what I was trying to do,"

Amber raised her hand and ice formed around it.

"Ok, whatever. The guys are going to find a way to get Wu back, just give them some time,"

"We don't have time. This wouldn't have happened if you all did not let your guard down."

The ice disappeared and she turned around. She walked forward. Violet caught up to her.

"Why are you so serious, we are going to get him-"

"Well, we need to get him back now!!" She snapped, "If we don't then I don't know what to do." She said that last part silently. It caught Violet's attention. Did she just show some emotion? Amber noticed Violet starring at her. She turned to face her but noticed she had sat down on the grass.

"What are you doing?"

"We need to talk." Violet said.

"You're kidding right? I'm not going to waste my time with your games."

Violet stood back up and raised her fists.

"Fine, let's fight then."

"What?"

"Are you deaf? Let's fight. If you win, then you can just go, and I won't bother you anymore. If I win, then you and I are going to have a serious discussion about why the hell you're so god damn dark and brooding."

"Get off my back Violet."

She turned around and walked away. Violet saw a small body of water to her left and reached out to it with her hand. A beam of water was lifted out and it hit Amber's left arm. She quickly turned back around and scowled. She then dropped her shuriken and ran at her. She jumped in the air and pulled her arm back for a punch. Violet spun to her right and dodged it. When she landed, Amber spun her arm back and struck Violet across her face. She almost lost her footing. 

"I thought you were going to put up a fight. I don't even know why Wu chose you to be on the team," Amber said.

Once again, she ran towards violet. She threw a punch at her chest, but Violet blocked it with both hands. Amber grabbed her sweatshirt with her left hand and pulled her in closer. She kneed Violet in the gut and threw a punch to her thigh and then swung that arm upwards to her chin. Violet stumbled back. She wiped some blood from her mouth. 

"To think, this could all be over if you weren't so stubborn."

"What do you want me to say? You want me to open up about my past and tell you how horrible it was. That Wu was the only person to care about me as a person? Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Violet lowered her fists. She saw that Amber had as well. That was the first time she had said anything about herself. 

"We didn't even finish out fight," Violet said. 

Amber let out a small chuckle and went down on her knees to sit.

"Tell anyone about this and you're dead," she said.

"Cool," Violet said as she went to join her. 

This could be a turning point. Maybe it was time to finally get along.

"Hey Alex, pass me that book over there."

Alex and I had spent the past few minutes looking through Wu's library in the monastery. It was filled with tons of knowledge. Well, that was the point of a library. It was a really cozy space. A table in the middle surround by shelves of books. There was a shelf of scrolls on one side of the library, but Wu told us on our first day not to touch it. We were looking for any information about the underworld and how to get there. 

"Yo, do you think violet can make progress on Amber?" Alex asked.

I looked up from the book i was glancing through.

"Yeah, I think she'll have a lot more luck than us. Besides, we need to work as a team now more than ever."

I had no idea what Garmadon had planned for his brother. but we have to stop him before anything happens. 

"Catch!" 

Alex interrupted my thoughts when he threw a scroll at my face. It fell on the floor and i looked at him. He just shrugged his shoulders and smiled. I looked down at the scrolled and it said Underworld on it. How convenient. I picked it up and opened it on the table. We looked at each other and nodded. We had found our answer. Outside we heard the doors being opened. We ran outside and saw Violet and Amber. They weren't trying to kill each other so that's good. I smiled at them.

"What do you want?" Amber said.

Ok maybe she wasn't all that different. Alex raised the scroll in the air.

"We know how to get to the underworld," he shouted. 

"There are actually many ways to get there, but the only option we could possible try is this one."

I pointed to a bullet point on the scroll.

"One way to access the realm is to achieve a speed of over 200 miles per hours," I read.

"Do we have anything that can reach that speed?" Violet asked. "What other ways can we get there?"

"Well, it also says that we can travel there by dragon," Alex said. 

"Wait, those exist?" Violet asked.

"You'd be surprised of what exists in Ninjago," Amber said.

We took a minute to think.

"Hold on, what about that vehicle by the raging river. A skeleton left it behind. Remember we saw one on the dirt path?" I chimed in. 

"Right. We can use that to get to the underworld. Hopefully we can all fit on it," Violet said and then she looked at me. 

I rolled my eyes and laughed. I guess I was a bit on the bigger side of the team. I was working on it. We had all agreed that in the morning we would go back to the vehicle and rescue master Wu. We took the rest of the day to train. Amber had begun to show us how she learned spinjitzu but it was tough. We had almost gotten it down. Alex taught us some more of his hand-to-hand combat and Violet showed off her water skills. I took a good look at the team and saw that we were all working together. It was about time. When the sun had set, we went inside and changed out of our suits. We had to get a lot of rest for tomorrow. We were ready.
