Book 1: The Other Garmadon

The Stone Army

Lyric POV: 

*Ring* *Ring*

I groaned as I slowly sat up from my bed and went to turn off the alarm. 

I got off the bed and did some dynamic stretches, after that I took a bath, fixed myself, and went outside. 

I went to where the dragon is to pick up the poop since it was my duty today but when I arrived I saw Lloyd with the sack of poop from the dragon and covered my nose. 

"I always have to do the dirty work." I heard Lloyd complain. 

"Good morning Lloyd." I greeted. 

"Morning Lyr." Lloyd greeted back. 

"Hey, guys." I greeted to the ninja. 

"Hey, Lyr." They greeted me back. 

"Hey, having a pet dragon requires a lot of responsibility." Cole lectured to Lloyd. 

"Didn't your mom ever let you two have a pet?" Jay questioned. 

Now, this topic is really sensitive to Lloyd and me, the both of us don't really like to talk about our mom. 

I've hated her ever since the day she put us into Darkly's boarding school. I mean how could she put her daughter into an all-boys school, why can't she just send us into a mixed-gender school or some sort? 

"We don't remember our mother. She abandoned us when we were really young." Lloyd informed. 

"She just left? Who took care of the both of you?" Kai asked surprised. 

"We spent our whole life at Darkly's boarding school, we had nowhere to go." I explained. 

" Hey, I have a mission for you guys." Nya called out as she slides down the bounty's anchor. "It's the Museum of Ninjago! They've asked for you guys! Something really strange has happened."

"What?" Kai questioned. 

"You're gonna have to see it to believe it." Nya stated and the ninja head to the bounty. 

"Here, Nya. Hold this." Lloyd instructed as he gave the sack to Nya and then he grabbed my hand and dragged me with him to the bounty. 

Why am I being dragged around nowadays?

"Wait a minute. What am I supposed to do with these?" Nya looks at the dragon and realized. "oh."

We arrived at the museum. 

"Oh, thank heavens you're here!" The curator stated in relief. 

" We heard there was an emergency?" Uncle asked. 

"Yes, come, come. Quickly, this way. The Stone Warrior exhibit opens to the public tonight, and this couldn't have come at a worse time." The curator said. 

"Uh, what couldn't have come at a worse time?" Kai asked. 

"Ninjago City appreciates your help in destroying the Great Devourer some time back, but it appears its toxic venom has seeped into the city sewer system and has had the most unusual after-effect." The curator explained. 

We looked at the green acid-looking venom and quickly covered our noses at the unbearable smell.  "Aargh!"

"Ugh. It stinks!" Kai complained. 

The Curator opens the doors to the gift shop revealing the transformed merchandise all giggling and screaming. 

To say these dolls creeped me out is an understatement.
