NINJAGO TALENT HAD ARRIVED WAY TOO SOON FOR IRIS'S LIKING. And now the ninja had to perform in front of an audience which was something they had never done before. She couldn't help but wonder what her Father would think if he saw them. Knowing him, he would probably start laughing. Especially at their outfits.
Hats and vests adorned the ninjas' bodies as they did some last minute practice before the show. They all had the same smart outfit: shirt, trousers and bow tie. Except, they were all wearing different colours — their colours. It seemed Lou had paid attention to the different shades the quintet had previously been wearing. Iris thought she looked great in her yellow outfit.
The yellow ninja was currently positioned in the centre, between Jay and Cole, whilst Zane was on the far left to her. Iris's long dark hair was tied up in tight knots on the back of her head to avoid it falling in front of her eyes when she danced. Normally she wouldn't have to do this when she was fighting because her mask kept the majority of her hair at bay. Dancing was completely different.
"Then kick ball change, barrel roll, barrel turn," Cole instructed as they continued to practice their routine, "and we all do the double wings—"
As they all leapt into the air, Kai went straight into Jay. Dancing was much harder than fighting. Iris just shook her head as they argued because it wasn't the time for that.
Zane stepped in. "Actually, 2.72 off of the beat."
"I don't think that was helpful, Zane." Pointed out Iris and at her words, the smile from the Nindroid's face vanished.
"Guys, guys!" Cut in Cole and their attention quickly trained on the earth ninja. "Let's not make this harder than it needs to be. We just stick to the plan and keep up the charade until the trophy's revealed." A pang shot through Iris's gut at the thought because what they were about to do didn't sit right with her. Stealing wasn't their way, or at least, it wasn't meant to be. But at the end of the day, they had to get that Fangblade before the Serpentine did.
