The Bounty eventually made its way back to Ninjago, anchoring itself above one of it's numerous businesses.
Everything had finally returned to normal after their jump back into the past with Lloyd's training taking precedence as they all worried for the looming problem of the Final Battle. Barely two days after their return they'd all been forced to lay in due to the pounding headaches they'd all begun to have as their brains were filled with new memories of things that had happened because of the changed timeline.
That particular day they'd all gone to bed later than normal after spending hours teaching Lloyd hand and feet toughening to select a style for Sensei Wu to teach him. From the conversations Wu and [M/n] had recently had, the man seemed to be leaning towards teaching him the Black Crane.
The alarm clock began violently blaring, startling them all from their sleep.
Cole shot up, smacking his head on the bottom of Jay's bunk, further startling the blue ninja bad enough that he fell out of bed with a shriek.
Kai flung a pillow at the alarm in the hopes of turning it off but instead knocked it onto the gramaphone, making it twice as loud.
[M/n] snarled, burying his face back into his pillow as his ears rang while Lloyd groaned, trying to hide back in his own pillow. Zane remained the only one unbothered, having found that he could turn off his hearing recently.
"Κατάστρεψέ το," [M/n] hissed, unable to block out the sounds with a pillow. Lloyd sat up, sending a small blast of energy that destroyed the alarm and gramaphone, shutting it up much to everyones relief. (Destroy it)
"Thanks Lloyd."
"Oh, thank FSM."
"Thank you, λιακάδα."
"Finally."
"Is it Wednesday already?" Lloyd asked, the hint of a whine at the edge of his voice. He barely had the energy to swing his legs off the bed, allowing his head to drop into his hands.
"Sunrise exercise. I hate sunrise exercise," Jay complained, climbing off the floor.
Wu entered the room, ringing the small gong in his hand. His oldest student peered over the edge of his bed, growling at the irritating his ears. "Ah. Good morning, morning, morning! Up, up. It's a new day, students. Before we begin sunrise exercise, I noticed the dragons made another mess outside. It looks like a two-person job, hehe."
Giggling to himself, the man retreated, leaving them to figure out who would be assigned to clean up.
"Uh, what was that Sensei?"
"Did I hear an SOS call come in?"
"I sense I need to be somewhere else."
Jay hopped around the room, struggling to get into his pants, "Lloyd, haha. I'm sure you got this, heh."
"Aww, you might've been able to dump chores on me when I was smaller, but I'm grown up now. That's not fair!" Lloyd cried, crossing his arms.
[M/n] hummed, nodding as he buckled his GI into place.
"You're right, Lloyd. We need to settle this like men. With a round of Rock, Paper, Clamp!" Kai announced, gathering them all in a circle as [M/n] watched, unimpressed.
"You are not competing?" Zane asked, noticing the ninja turning to leave.
"No. I will clean Ara's mess."
He left before chaos could descend upon the room. From the kitchen he retrieved garbage bags and gloves for he and whoever lost.
When Ara realized what he was doing, his feathers flattened as he watched his rider with a vaguly guilty look.
