The Ones That Got Away [Complete]

Good Fortune

Good Fortune

But of course, her enthusiasm was immediately dampened by the voice of reason.

"Please sit down, Skylor." PIXAL requested. "It would be unreasonable to rush into anything without having even the slightest idea where to go and what we are going to do."

And of course, the female Nindroid was right.

Skylor plopped down in her seat again, and the five people around the table silently eyed each other, unsure what to do next.

"So, any suggestions?" Someone finally asked. Master Lloyd, the Green Ninja, the team's leader, the one usually to take the initiative had ran out of ideas.

"I-I want to see my mum and dad." Nya said meekly. "They need to know about Kai and..." She buried her face in her hands. "Oh no, what are we going to tell Ed and Edna? And Lou?" She groaned.

"The truth." Misako gently placed her hand on the Water Ninja's arm. "But we can't do everything at once. I think visiting your parents is a good starting point."

"I am not leaving." Lloyd crossed his arms, determined to stay even though he had absolutely no clue what he was going to about it. "How will the people of Ninjago City feel when they learn that four of the Ninja are dead and the others have run away?"

"We are not leaving for good." Misako reasoned with her son. "But it won't cause any harm to get out of here for a while until you have fully recovered."

"And until we have an actual plan." Skylor agreed. "I am in."

"But..."

"Son. Ray and Maya deserve to hear from us what happened to their son. And spending some time together will help them and Nya."

"And there is a high probability that the Sons of Garmadon will also start targeting former Elemental Masters." PIXAL added.

"But what about the people here." Lloyd pleaded. "I don't want another child to grow up believing that their heroes haven given up on them."

"Maybe we can somehow leave them a message." Nya suggested. "Just anything to show them that we are still fighting for them."

Skylor smiled. "And I already have an idea how we're gonna do that."

The Master of Amber closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to steady her shaking hands that were carrying the heavy styrofoam box.

No used to the high heels of her black leather boots, she rather unsteadily walked across the bridge towards her destination. To complete her outfit, she was wearing a short, tight black skirt and a rather revealing orange tank top, displaying the purple mark of the Anacondrai that had been tattooed onto her shoulder. She was glad that not many people were around this part of town, especially not in this early hour.

"Who's there?" A sharp voice belonging to one of the guards asked as she approached the gate of the former Royal Palace, now the Emperor's residence.

Skylor and her new teammates were currently distributing their 'gifts' all over Ninjago City.

The redhead had volunteered to deliver the message to the most dangerous addressee possible, Garmadon himself, being that she was the only one the Sons of Garmadon hadn't encountered before.

In order to avoid being recognised as a Nindroid, PIXAL had decided to follow in Zane's footsteps and pose as a member of the biker gang. She randomly dropped little 'Master Chen to go' boxes while riding one of the Ninja's motorbikes through the city, a helmet covering her artificial face.
