The Call of Home

Chapter 16

Nya's pov:

"So, you already told them?"

"I told Zane, and he passed the message" Lloyd explained in a whisper.

"Okay, but we still haven't found a place where to practice. Where do you want to take them?!" Nya whispered

In that moment they were both sitting on the back of class. Lloyd had told her and Kai that he had already found Zane and told him about the meeting. Tho, it had taken him almost all the break for him to find the two siblings. He barely had the time to tell them and then they all had to go to their class.

"I know that. I just thought of taking them to my place. It's also a long way from school so for now, is the best spot." Lloyd explained

"And what? Do you plan to practice in the woods? I may remain you that the thing that almost crushed us has already been there" Nya said. She wasn't fully on this idea, but Lloyd had already told them, so it was too late to back down. Nya could be intimidating sometimes, but she would always find a way to make things work. Lloyd had dropped the news out of the blue, he couldn't expect her not to worry.

"Of course not, look. We just need to tell them and then continue looking for a place to practice. Perhaps they can help with that too. I just say that we should focus on what's urgent now. That's all" Lloyd explained.

"Mr. Garmadon" a voice said firmly from the front of the class. "And Ms. Smith"

The voice had surprised them both and Nya saw that Lloyd had almost jumped off his seat. She knew the voice too well. It was their history teacher. A middle-aged man with short grey hair, a bear that looked fresh out of the past and pure love for rules. He was looking straight at them.

"Do you think I should continue my class or not?" He asked. 

"Um... yeah" Lloyd said with a weak smile trying to smooth things up. The man didn't seem to buy it.

"Um- we're sorry professor. Won't happen again." The man looked directly at Nya, tho, he seemed pleased with this.

"I hope so" he said, and with that he went back to explain his class.

"That was close, you think he's with the bad guys?" Lloyd asked Nya

She frowned her nose and looked at Lloyd. "Nah, his rules wouldn't allow him" she said making them chuckle at it before going back to their class.

After classes, she, Kai, and Lloyd meet at the doors. They didn't have to wait long before they saw Zane and Cole approaching them. The one they had to wait for was Jay. They chat all the way to Lloyd's house. Nya found some interesting things about these guys.

Finally, they got to Lloyd's house. They all settled on the living room.

"Okay, now that we're all here. What did you wanted to tell us?" Cole asked

"Well... long story short, our powers are coming back now" Lloyd said, it was obvious he didn't know how to explain this. Nya didn't know either. But apparently the news hadn't shock so much to the other guys

"The other day, I accidentally summoned fire in my hands out of nothing" Kai explained "Garmadon said that we should start practicing as soon as posible to control them"

"But also, to stick together in case we need to cover it" Lloyd explained

"I agree, this could be challenging if we don't have control of them or when they appear." Zane said.

"Well, it's not like we don't have the least idea" Nya said, they all turned to see her " He also said that they could come up if we got more memories or find a way to summond them" she explained

"Wait, if that's the case. Did you get new memories when you got on fire?" Cole asked

Nya hadn't realized until now. She hadn't asked Kai that, after their talk with Garmadon Nya just though that what happened was just an accident. But it did made sense. After the little conversation she had with Kai, he seemed zoned out. Now she might know why he had been like this. She quickly glanced at Kai, giving him a look that said 'wait, what!? Spit it out!'

Kai returned the glance with a 'calm down, I'll explain' stare

"Well, I think I did. I'm not that sure" Kai started "Me and Nya were talking about what Garmadon had told us. Since I didn't had that dream that the rest of you had, I tried to imagine it... Thing is, some sort of vivid image hit me. I was in the city you guys had described, but something else happened... I saw a kind of wave of power you could say... it looked like what we saw when Garmadon saved us but... it didn't came from him..." Kai said while turning his head low.

Nya saw that the other exchanged worried looks. But Lloyd seemed more worried and interested of it. Kai turned to face her, she knew he wasn't sure if he should share what he saw or not. But if they wanted to be up with whatever they were against to, they needed to know. She gave an encouraging look with a nod. Kai sighted, but she was sure he would continue. At least she hoped so.

"The figure I saw wasn't human... his skin was completely black... and had bright red eyes... he was with an armour but... I don't know which side he was in, he didn't seem to be attacking any of us but.... I'm not sure"

They all couldn't look away... Though it didn't sounded so scary, it gave Nya some bad vibes, but something told her it wasn't dangerous... And she suspected the other were thinking the same.

"Did you saw something else?" a voice asked

Nya turned to see who had talked. It was Jay. He had actually been pretty quiet the whole time, and that was odd since he usually would talk a lot.

Kai shooked his head "No, Nya snapped me out of it since my hands were on fire so..."

"I saw what you just described" Lloyd said.

What?! Lloyd never mentioned that. Why wouldn't he mention it?!

"It was the first day when we had that dream, but in a sort of image like Kai" Lloyd explained to the others "But I also saw 2 other people, a girl that looked like a nindroid and an old man that looked like my uncle"

"Okey this is all getting way too weird for me. What does your uncle has to do with this?" Jay asked

"Well, apparently, my uncle was on the fight my dad described. He is still in this 'Ninjago' according to my dad, but he hadn't found a way to contact him"

"Well... where does that leaves us?" Kai asked.

"I'm not sure" Lloyd said with a sight. Nya understood that. All this was like a puzzle that didn't have sense.

"There's not much we can do now, the best we can do is to focus on our primordial objective now. Which it would be to control these powers before we alert the enemy" Zane said

Nya nodded "Zane's right, we need to start practicing. But we need a safe place where we can do it. Don't let anyone but ourselves know what we are doing. Me, Kai and Lloyd had been searching through the town for a place but have come empty, and until we find where we can practic-"

"I think I know a place" Cole said surprising everyone.

"Really?" Nya asked

"Yeah, it's a clearing in the woods. I found it the day that creature appeared, before it had started attacking. The place felt different... And I had heard some steps which I assume where of that thing, but it didn't seem to come near. Like he couldn't sense it or me inside it. Or at least until I went to investigate and bumped with the thing that almost killed us" Cole explained

"That could actually work" Lloyd said.

Nya hadn't expected the answer they needed to dropped out of the blue, but it did. This would be their best chance. So she agreed.

"Alright then, lead the way scout boy" Nya said with a smile

"Ha ha, funny water lily"
