An Unusual Time at Ninjago High School

The Ambush

Melody POV

"So," I said to Lloyd while we were walking. "Because you're the son of Garmadon, shouldn't it be hard for you to fight him?" "Well, not that difficult," Lloyd replied. "I think I prefer having to give up being the Green Ninja if it didn't mean being the son of Garmadon,"

"Oh," I said. "So what do you think Master Wu means by 'inner peace' and 'the right path'? I'm not a member of the Secret Ninja Force yet, so I don't understand what it means," "Well," Lloyd said "The rest of us get confused by what he means, but I think it's related to the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon," We stayed silent, and while we were walking, we heard the conversation behind us. 

"How did you gain two arms?" Kai asked.

"Oh, don't put it like that," Jay told him. "We told you not to say it like that." "I don't know if that's the best way to say it," Nya said.

"Well, he's got four arms!" Kai pointed out. 

"Correct," Zane said. 

"You know, a lot of people don't ask me about it, so it's- I'm glad that he's comfortable asking." Garmadon said. "Luh-Lloyd's never asked me once about my arms, have you, Lloyd?" I look at Lloyd. He doest look happy about Garmadon with us. "Don't talk to me," He said. 

"Guys, Lloyd's not in the good mood," I said. "Its either you keep it down, or not include Lloyd in you little conversation. But you should know that I also want to know how did Garmadon gain two arms. I've never seen anyone with an extra pair of arms,"

"Sure, Missy," Garmadon said. "I was bit by a snake," "No.." Kai said. 

"That can't be true," I said. "Snakes don't have arms. And my name is Melody," "Its true," Garmadon said. 

"So the snake had a bunch of arms?" Jay asked.

"They don't have arms." Kai said,

"Exactly." Zane agreed.

"Do you mean like, a spider?" Jay asked.

"Oh no. I was bit by a snake, and the snake had been bitten by a spider, and then the snake bit me." Garmadon replied. 

"Oh..." Jay said.

"Are you guys actually buying any of this?" Lloyd asked.

"Is your story actually true?" I asked.

"How else would you explain it, you two?" Garmadon asked. "You weren't there." Ok, well, he's got a point, so I didn't argue.

"So when the two extra arms started growing, were you like, "Yes! This is awesome!", or were you like "Oh, no"?" Jay asked.

"No!" Garmadon replied. " At first I was like, totally freaked out, and sometimes I get self-conscious about it." " ...Hey, uh, Garmadon?" Jay asked. "Can I ask you another question?"

"Yeah, go ahead." Garmadon replied.

"It's about the arms." Jay said. "Um. Can you shake your own hand?""Look!" Garmadon said. "Check it out, ninjas." I turn around and saw that Garmadon was holding his top two hands in his bottom two hands. I've got to admit, that was cool. "Oh my gracious." Nya said.

"Oh! He's his own best friend!" Jay said.

"Ahh, the double shake!" Kai said.

"I love your bad boy charm." Zane said.

"Look at this." Garmadon said. "This is one of my favourite things."

Garmadon turns around and rubs his hands over his back. That looks even coll. It looks like that he was hugging someone. "I look like I'm making out with two people, don't I?" He asked. All of us except for Lloyd laughed. "I'm impressed." Cole replied.
