reencarnated (book one)

The borg siblings (-Mr. E)

Me, Cryptor, Garmadon, Lloyd and master Wu arrived at the samurai x cave. The rest of the ninja were out protecting the city. Garmadon agreed to help Lloyd learn his Oni form.

"Oh, master Wu, Lloyd! You're back!" I heard a familiar voice call out to him. Pixal. Or in other words, samurai x. "I heard about the garmadon thing, but I didn't understand what you meant by 'old enemies' in your message."

"Hey!" Cryptor scowled. "We're not 'old enemies'."

Pixal noticed Cryptor and took a step back, pointing a finger at him.

"Y-y-you..." she whispered.

"I-I-I- what?" Cryptor laughed, he kept walking forward and she continued to take steps back.

"You're dead!" She exclaimed.

"I'm alive." He giggled.

"No... no, you're not!" She shouted.

"Yes I am!" He said, echoing her volume. "Miss me?"

She unsheathed a sword and put it between the both of them, to which Cryptor backed up and put his hands up.

"You are NOT welcome here."

"Woah, no need for-"

He stopped mid sentence and ducked, catching her off guard. He sprung up and swiped her sword from her, twirling it in his hands before pointing it at her.

"Actually you'll find I'm quite welcome here." He jeered.

"Cryptor." Lloyd said, looking over.

Cryptor smiled at the ground before handing Pixal her sword back.

"I heard you could fight now, I didn't believe it until now." He mocked, before looking away. He walked over to the side.

I was too busy watching her reaction to see him gesturing to me. Eventually she made eye contact with me.

"Another?" I saw her mouth. She gripped her sword before running over to Lloyd, who was on the other side of the room, my eyes followed.

"HELLOOOO???" Cryptor's shouts reached my ears. "ye deaf as you are mute?! Hellen Keller typea nindroid."

I glared at him.

'Hellen Keller is blind and deaf, not mute.' I signed. He rolled his eyes. I walked over.

"So... that reunion went well." He laughed, gesturing to Pixal.

'... where you guys a thing, or..?' I signed. I saw his face twist in disgust.

"Oh, gross! No! She's my sister!" He gagged. "Is THAT what you picked up from that?!"

'Jeez, sorry.'

"Yeah. Anyways, no! Pixal is my sister. Mostly because we were both made by borg himself. We have a brother too, but he was made a bit before I died. Sentry General, I think."

I looked back at Pixal before Cryptor spoke again.

"Whatever, they're both goody-two-shoes, so I don't associate with them. I sure made Pixal's life miserable when I was alive. No wonder she's afraid now that I'm back." He laughed.

He kicked me in the leg. Ouch.

"Hey, you keep zoning out, what's going on?" He asked. I shook my head, looking down.

'I'm fine.' I signed. He smirked and looked away.

"So, like... do you have any siblings?" He said, looking bored.

Pfft, not by choice. But I wasn't going to tell Cryptor anything really yet.

I shook my head.

"Hm, bummer. It's nice knowing there's a lesser version of you out there somewhere." He laughed.

I wondered if I was the lesser one...

"So what's Oni, anyways?"

'Oh, well I'm not sure about Oni's themselves, but I had this pretty cool Oni mask, it gave me four arms.' I signed.

"Seriously? A magic mask?" He said, skeptical.

'Yeah, it was red with a scary face on it, it was called the mask of vengeance.'

"Hm, cool." He said.

...

"I'm bored, wanna check around this dump?"
