Chapter 5:

The Junkyard: 

"You know why you're the black ninja?! 'Cause, it's the color of your heart!" 

We had been in the RV and Cole and Jay had gotten into a heated argument over P.I.X.A.L assuming Cole to be Nya's "Perfect Match". The ginger seemed to take it deeply to heart and looking to Cole, he was obviously livid. 

"Oh yeah?" Cole asked rhetorically with brows furrowed, "Well, what's the point in being a blue ninja? Unless you're trying to hide out some goofy clown college!" 

Jay took him in a headlock at that remark. 

"Ooh, you take that back!" he warned as the boy in black gritted his teeth, "There are reputable performers that attended clown college!" 

"So, that's what this whole thing has been about!" Kai accused, "Some two-year crush that you've had?" 

"What, you think I told her to say that?" I asked in argument, "I never sided with that stupid console to begin with!" 

Kai and I had begun our own argument, him believing that everything we talked about was just me setting him up the whole time that we've been friends.

"Right, just blame the robot!" Kai retorted. 

"I wasn't blaming anything, Hothead!" I remarked, "and I'm genuinely upset that you'd believe her over me!" 

"It's one thing to trick me," the ninja continued, "but to blame my friends is where I draw the line!" 

"We've barely known her for a week! You've known me for a year, Kai! When have I ever lied to you?!" 

"You were avoiding me too often to be able to!" he shot back, "What did you ex--" 

Our conversation was interrupted by a banging sound, and with good timing too, because Zane and someone else had to hold back Jay and Cole, who had been wrestling like wild animals. 

"What was that?" Kai asked before Ed opened the door to find that we had been lifted off the ground by his crane. His eyes widened.

"The machines haven't worked since the outage!" he informed, "What's powering it?!" 

"Nindroids!" the brunet informed, pointing to the driver behind the crane's functioning. It glared at him.

"But the question is, what's powering them?" 

His question went unanswered as the RV went flying with us in it. We flew against the back wall.

"They're after the Technoblades." P.I.X.A.L. informed while everyone else screamed and panicked. We heard and saw lasers, being shot through the vehicle. 

"I've always wanted to ride a roller-coaster, but not like this!"

"Yeah, well they almost hit our mother!" Jay pointed out, turning to P.I.X.A.L., who frowned. 

"Ooh, don't worry about us, Sweetie!" Edna reassured; she now had on goggles, and what looked like a jet-pack. 

Ed did as well.

 "We prepare for every type of situation!" 

"Did you make one for me?" the ginger asked. Edna smiled.

"Uh, sorry, honey," she said, "You hardly ever come to visit!" 

"Yeah, good luck, kiddos," Ed added, "and watch over the junk while we're gone, will ya?" 

And with that, they were off, their jet-packs using the energy of...bubbles.

 I took my time and slowly turned my head in Jay's direction with a glare.
He gave me a nervous smile before fixing his gaze on Cole with a scowl.
