The mood board was rushed and sloppy so no hate, you know the start, no hate for anyone or anything unless it's Harumi, I will literally applaud you.

Don't be a dry reader, that's boring.

Tw: Explosion, burns, sore back

Adelaide Thomas' pov

"Cole," I groan as I heave myself up the roofs of the palace "is this necessary?"
He ignores my comments with a focused grunt. I jump onto the next roof in silence as Cole distractedly leads the training. We soon reach the top and Cole takes off his mask. I do the same and smile at him.
"Thanks for doing this with me," he whispers.

"Any time." I murmur back. Then we bask in the comfortable silence as we look down at all of Ninjago City. Shadows litter the courtyard and I sit down. I dangle my legs dangerously off the edge.

"Hey look," I hiss. "Hutchins!"

The man walks quickly across the yard failing to be discreet. Cole nudges me.

"Let's see what this bastard is up to." We jump down the shingles without a sound and attempt to get a closer look. I trip and wave my arms for balance. Cole grabs me by the scruff of my gi and hauls me away from the edge. I mumble a thanks before turning back to the man walking below us.

The older man looks around before messing around with a big stone. The rock moves to the right and reveals a sunken set of stairs and I gasp.
"That's kinda cool, even if we hate him that's awesome," I whisper in awe.

"Yeah, but he's getting away!" Cole flips down off the roof and I follow.
He runs across the courtyard and reaches the opening in the ground, without a hesitation Cole ran down the stairs.

"Oh, fuck this." I mutter to myself before running after him. Cole runs down the hall, and the greasy figure ahead of him turns right. He halts and presses to the wall. I scrunch my nose at the overwhelming dryness in the air and pull my mask on. He looks at me and I gulp. We shimmy across the halls and the unmistakable crushing dread fills me.

My chest tightens and my breaths get more difficult to continue. I am the peach ninja, I am not scared. I am not scared. I am not scared.

I slowly turn the corner with Cole and see glowing things strapped to the ceiling.

"Blast zap," Cole whispers.
"Explosives," I breathe.

I am the peach ninja, I am very scared. I am terrified. I am the peach ninja and I am going to die by being blown up in this crusty brick hallway.

My chest tightens even more and I breathe in even shallower pants.

"Guys? We've got a problem! There's blast zap down in the basement, blast zap!! Me and Adelaide are down in this tunnel thing and there's a whole bunch of it!"

(Remember, Lloyd and the others can only hear bits of this, they hear only blast zap, and a few other words)

"Cole, you're not coming in you have a bad signal!" I hear Lloyd use the comm and I stomp my foot in frustration

"UuGGHhH! They can't hear us but we can hear them!" My complaints quickly turn into a quiet sob "we need to get out of here, we're gonna die,"

The blast zap begins to bubble and rumble and I flinch.

"Yeeeeahhh toothpick, that sounds great right about now!" He turns tail and sprints down the hallway we came through.

"We've got to get everyone out of here!The palace is rigged to explode!" I say on the comm.

"Shit!" Jay exclaims. I laugh in spite of the situation. Stupid coping mechanism.

"It was Hutchins," Cole adds.
"We have to get the royal family out of here!"kai says in the comm.
