Misty and The Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu (Ninjago)

Questing For Quests

 The others had sent Lloyd to speak with Master Wu on their behalf. While they trained in the Courtyard. Unfortunately, their training wasn't going as great as it once was since they were mostly out of shape. Cole after trying to spin on his head fell on his face. He looked up and saw Lloyd who had a tired look on his face.

"How'd it go?" Cole asked

Lloyd sucked in an intake of air and said, "He's in, uh, a mood,"

"A bad one I'm assuming," Misty said raising an eyebrow.

Lloyd nodded his head in agreement.

Cole got to his feet and readjusted his back, as the others gathered around Lloyd and Jay asked, "Did he give you a quest tip?"

"No, he said we have to figure it out on our own," Lloyd said

"I've been thinking about it for five minutes! I'm tapped out!" Kai shouted

"Maybe we need a change of scenery, sometimes, ideas come to you better if you change your surroundings." Jay offered

So the ninja clambered into the "hot tub" to think better. This time Misty actually joined them.

But it seemed as if it was pointless as no ideas came to them. "Nope. Still nothing," Jay admitted

"We need a villain," Kai said finally

"What about Ultra Violet?" Cole offered he was back to wearing his hat again.

Misty quickly shook her head no.

"Uh, she was nuts. I'd rather face Killow," Kai admitted

"Kai's right, anyone but her preferably,"Misty said as she looked down at her waist and added, "I still have a scar from when she slashed me the first time we met."

Zane nodded he remembered that both he and Misty had barely managed to escape the crumbling and on-fire palace in time. And he said kindly, "Well at least we won't have to worry about that. They're both incarcerated in Kryptarium Prison."

"What about Master Chen?" Nya offered

"You mean noddles for brains," Misty added

"The Departed Realm," Zane confirmed

"Pythor?" Cole asked

"Whereabouts unknown," Zane said and then added, "locating him would require some effort."

Cole made a face and said, "Effort? Uh... No," and he leaned back in the bell and slurped more soda through his straw.

Misty let out an exasperated sigh and also sunk lower into the water.

"Man, finding a good villain is hard," Kai said and he got up and sat on the rim of the bell.

"Let's face it. There aren't any villains left!" Jay shouted and he said, "Except, well, um..." They all looked at Lloyd. He had an annoyed look on his face and he said, "Say it. My dad,"

"Wherever he is, he's not really a problem right now. Let's move on," Nya offered.

"Who does that leave?" Cole asked

"Maybe we're aiming too high, maybe we don't need a villain. Maybe we just need, like a criminal or a gangster," Nya offered

"Pfft. I'd settle for a bully!" Jay said

"Perhaps we should check in with the Commissioner. We might be able to assist him in the prevention of some crime." Zane said

All of them agreed and they climbed out of the "hot tube"
