Broken Enough (Ninjago x Male Reader)

Chapter Two: Ninjaball Run

Dawn has arisen enveloping Ninjago City, its streets illuminated only by the faint glow of streetlights. From his vantage point atop a nearby rooftop, Y/n observed the courtyard below, hidden in the shadows. His keen eyes focused on the scene unfolding before him, where Lloyd, the green Ninja, displayed impressive strength and balance. 

Using one hand, Lloyd supported himself upside down, while the other hand held the weight of the entire ninja team. Zane balanced delicately on Lloyd's feet, while Kai and Jay clung to his arms. Meanwhile, Cole stood steady on his head, with Sensei Wu perched atop his shoulders. Y/n couldn't help but be intrigued by the display of teamwork and trust among the ninja. 

As Sensei Wu urged them to focus and trust each other, Y/n remained hidden, his curiosity piqued by the dynamics at play, particularly the steadfast determination of Cole. Despite the nervous energy radiating from the courtyard below, Y/n sensed a bond forming among the ninja—a bond that intrigued him and sparked a desire to learn more.

"Focus," Sensei Wu sips tea. 

Jay was sweating while looking down. "Sensei, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea."

"Yeah, Sensei, he's just a kid." Cole added, but Wu only exhaled calmly while the foundation of the human house of cards started to falter. 

"In order for him to succeed, we must all trust one another." Wu then sipped his drink once more. Y/n noticed a crane with a wrecking ball on the end making its way toward the building in slight confusion. Before he could register what was about to happen the wrecking ball smashed right through the dojo wall he got a glimpse of all of them being knocked to the ground. Y/n snickered before jumping off the rooftop to go tend to other business. 

"What the hell was that?" Cole questioned dusting himself off as he got up. Two construction workers got a glimpse of the ninja then looking at each other with a panic expression on their faces. Dareth ran into the room "Whoa, Whoa, Whoa!!! This wasn't supposed to happen until tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow..?" The guy on the right turned to the one of left. "Let me see that order." He took the order slip giving a brief scan of what was on it. "Oh, yeah. My bad. Sorry 'bout that. We'll be back in the morning." they waved to everyone  taking their leave. Dareth groans picking up one of his man counterfeit trophies which is now bent. 

"Uh, Dareth, what is this all about?" Cole looks at Dareth wanting answers.

"Well, I fell behind on some of my payments and some developer named 'Darnagom Enterprises' is buying the entire block to put in some stupid frisbee-golf course. They say if I don't come up with fifty thousand by tomorrow, the dojo is gone." Dareth wailed as he clutched the trophy for comfort. 

"Are you kidding? We literally just lost the bounty. We can't lose the dojo now!" Jay frantically spoke stumbling over words.

Dareth was crying over his trophies and Jay was panicking this wasn't a good start to the morning at all. Zane went into to deep thought as he looked at the wrecking ball outside. Thinking about it for a second the name started to ring a bell, "Wait a minute, 'Darnagom' if you rearrange the letters, it spells-"

"O grandma?" Jay questioned and Kai rolled his eyes before coming to the correct conclusion. "No! idiot it spells Garmadon"

"Right that would make more sense" Jay laughed letting the stupidity of his previous answer settle in. "My dad is behind this?" Lloyd inquired to the others who showed him some empathy. 

"If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?" Cole looked at Lloyd out of concern. Dareth looks with pleading eyes at Sensei Wu getting on his knees bowing to him. "Oh wise one any chance you have fifty thousand smackaroonies in that teapot of yours?" Dareth asked and Sensei replied "Worry not, Dareth. You're not in this alone. We're all with you."
