Crystalline Chaos (Ninjago x reader)

Chapter 26

(Y/n)'s POV

    (Y/n) grumbled anxiously as she paced around nervously, her tail swishing behind her sporadically as she watched Dr. Julien put a cast on Lloyd's leg, the tuft of hair on the tip of the tail gathering sand as she went. She watched as Lloyd flinched as his leg was worked on and felt her guilt grow as she remembered the failed healing.

    Colors. Everything was made of colors. She knew she wasn't dreaming, but it felt like it with how everything seemed to be out of focus, made up of colorful blobs rather than clear shapes. Oddly enough, she wasn't all that scared. If anything, this place felt safe, almost homely and her whole body felt far more relaxed here than it ever had outside of here. After a moment of looking around, she looked down and saw what she knew was Lloyd, only instead of the usual boy she knew she saw gold and green swirling around and through him. But tainting the brightness of the gold and green, she saw murky splotches of black. Her hands seemed to move on their own, creating strange patterns, suddenly causing a white light to emerge from the amethyst and infuse itself in Lloyd's body.
    She didn't think, her hands instinctively continued to make small patterns, pushing the light to slowly eat away at all of the blacks in his body. Her mind was blank, somehow all of this came to her naturally, as though she had done it a thousand times before. She hummed softly in her mind, pleased as she neared his right leg, and with that, he would be healed.

Stop!!

    She gasped as she was suddenly thrown out of the little zone she had placed herself in, jerking back and nearly falling onto her back had Nya not rushed up to her and caught her.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Nya whispered softly as Lloyd slowly came to, her concern pricking at her heart.

"I-I dunno."

"Can I still fight?" She shook her head and instead turned to the duo once more, but she could tell from Dr. Julien's nervousness that the verdict wasn't the one they wanted.

"Hmm, I'm sorry. That leg will take weeks to heal." He told Lloyd apologetically and she sighed at the feelings of anxiety and panic coming from Lloyd.

"We don't have weeks." Lloyd yelped before grunting in pain as Dr. Julien tightened the bandages. Once he was done he sighed in relief before turning to (Y/n), hope surging from him as he did so. "Can't you try to heal me again (Y/n)? Maybe you can do it this time."

"I...don't think so. When I tried earlier I was stopped by something, and until I know what it is I don't want to risk trying again." She told him softly and for a moment Lloyd stared at her, conflicted before he sighed and nodded. She smiled apologetically before heading over to the rest of the group who were watching the horizon, their anxiety evident as clouds gathered over the mass in the distance that was Ninjago.

"The battle between good and evil will be decided today." Wu told them all and (Y/n) felt crystals start to form at the base of her wings, but she instinctively despawned them as she stretched out the feathered wings. This surprised her a bit, but she brushed it off and instead put on a thin smile.

"Well then, we'll have to get over there and fight the fight. Today." (Y/n) hummed as she placed her hands behind her head and leaned into them whilst various emotions flicked around her.

"But we can't even get to the fight, much less get off this island." Kai told her with a grumble and (Y/n) hummed.

"That's not entirely true. I can still fly, but then I could only take one person or you all in a net. There's no guarantee though that I could make it there in time with all of you in tow." She said thoughtfully as she looked up at the sky. "Or I could go alone. Maybe I can buy some time for you all to make it over after I get Ultra-" She continued, but stopped when she noticed a sharp rise in their emotions.
