Orchid romance

"Any update on the search?" Garmadon came in and stood next to his brother. The boys had been out for a couple hours. There has been nothing yet. But I still think something will happen. Soon preferably.

"Our cameras haven't picked up any trace of Pythor or Borg, but the ninja are in the field where we don't have eyes." Wu never took his eyes off the screen as he responded to Garmadon.

Seconds later there was a call in coming. It was Lloyd. "No sign of Nindroids in the Toxic Bog." He was squinting into the camera. "Lloyd, while you're out there, do you have time to search the Glacier Barrens?"

He sighed and smiled. "Hey, I may not be able to move mountains anymore, but I can still cover ground. Over and out." I smiled and started to head out before I heard Garmadon. "Project Arcturus?" 

"Two days ago, Zane and P.I.X.A.L. intercepted a coded message. Something with the code name "Project Arcturus"." Wu walked over to him.

The post man was working at the desk when he started to get excited. "I think I may have made a discovery. Carrot Cup Juster." This poor guy isn't made for this. "What's a "juster?" That is a very fair good question Wu.

"I don't know. Yet." He scratched his head as he tried to think. The name Arcturus sounds so fimilair. I think that was a snake general back in the serpentine wars. "Keep looking, I don't think that's it."

"Arcturus. Long ago, didn't we face a by that name?" Garmadon started to mindlessly go through papers. "Indeed we did, brother. They even named a celestial zodiac after him. We're not sure how they are related." If it has something to do with the space, then they might be after some resources on the asteroid.

Suddenly, there was a loud alarm. Red signs were flashing on all of the screens. We found something finally! "What in Ninjago's name is that?" Garmadon asked as we all rushed over to P.I.X.A.L. "Our facial recognition software picked up someone." The camera's ha picked a nindriod. "Cryptor." They have names now?

"My analysis can only presume they're using Borg to build something." Zane thought for a second before starting to track the truck. "But what are they building?" I watched the screen. The picture was off a truck that is probably carrying something like water. 

"We need to know where those trucks are headed. Find me the nearest ninja." I looked at where the camera was. It was near the theater. We could get three on this at once. "Call Nya. Jay and Cole are both with her." P.I.X.A.L. hummed and called her. But she didn't pick up. 

"(Y/N), Can you go get them. We will get Kai on it in the mean time." Garmadon asked me. I nodded and ran down. There was a car down there. A black motorcycle with the keys on the table next to it. "P.I.X.A.L. I would kiss you if Zane wouldn't kill me for it." Zane would kill me for that sentence.

As I started to drive, I couldn't help but feel free. It's been a while since I've driven. But a quick glance to my speed dial can tell me I'm lucky there are no police around. The wind around my face felt amazing. Maybe I should stop nagging Lloyd whenever he drives.

After about fifteen minutes of driving, I got the theater. Nya, Cole and Jay where walking out with robot. "Nya? Why weren't you answering and why do you have a robot with you?" Nya gave me a panicked smile. She didn't tell them to wait. "Well, I had to pick. So I choose Joel." 

I sighed and tried to hid my laugh. "Nya, go ahead get on and wait for a minute. I need to talk to them for a moment." She nodded and got on the bike. "As for you two." I grabbed them both by the ear and dragged them a bit away. 

"What is wrong with you two? Right now, we have other problems to deal with like finding Borg. You also need to be able to work as a team. So get your act together and leave Nya alone." I didn't give them time to respond as I started to walk back to Nya. "(Y/N)?" Cole grabbed my wrist to stop me from leaving.
