Ninjago: Hidden Secrets

Snakebit

(A/N: Because I can't think of any other title names I'm going with the original xD)

After the one named Zane had left me my food and gone inside, I didn't bother getting up. Nor did I touch the food. It wasn't that I was not hungry, as my grumbling stomach argued, I just didn't feel like eating. 

This feeling was...strange. A new feeling that unnerved me. To say that it didn't bother me would be a lie. I hadn't realized that I stayed up the whole night until the sun's silent, but heated rays shown on my face. Weird, I thought. I didn't, nor do I still, feel tired at all.

I looked at the cold food at my side. I decided to try and eat something as I slowly picked up a sandwich. I sniffed it to make sure it was safe until it dawned on me that I was no longer on the streets anymore. I took a small, yet decent bite and shivered as the cold bread slid down my throat. I realized I had wolfed down the sandwich unconsciously to satisfy my hunger. I guess that takes care of one problem.

The shrilling ring of a gong shook me to my core inside the ship. Curious, I walked in to investigate the source. I found my feet taking me to a room where there stood Sensei Wu and the Ninja. The Sensei held a gong in his hand and a mallet (A/n: I think they're called that) in the other. From what I heard, (after Zane broke through the floor after merely jumping on it) Wu wanted them all to clean the Bounty and be finished before he returned.

"Ugh, This place is gonna take forever to clean!" Kai complained when Wu left the room, failing to notice me presence outside the door and as he left.

"Unless we put more than our backs into it." I could see the smirk in his voice when he said that.

-Time-skip brought to you by...uh...time ^w^-

Just as I predicted, they had used their elemental powers and Spinjitzu. Though I had to admit: It did get the job done faster. I was watching them play a video game as they waited for Wu and Nya to return. I didn't get what was so fun about smashing buttons to move and destroying things to get to the next level. It just didn't make sense to me.

Jay took notice of my staring as he asked: "Hey, Ayata, wanna try?"

The rest turned to look at me and, before I could say "No thank you," Jay dragged towards them and handed me the controller. I just stared at it.

"Well," started Cole, "Go on!"

"Um, okay..." I trailed. I had no idea how this thing worked, so I just pressed each button to see what it did: Kick, punch, dodge...special attack? What the heck is a "Special Attack?"

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kai smirk as he noticed my perplexed expression. "What? Does someone not know how to play?" he mocked. 

"You're right for once, " I bluntly state, not caring about the others laughing and Kai's scowl. I handed the controller back to Jay and started to head out the door before Zane stopped me. "Why don't you take off your hood and show us your face?"

I did not hesitate in answering and, by their facial expressions, they weren't quite expecting my answer. "Why should I? It's not like I'm going to be here long anyway." 

I thought I was about to finally leave until Wu and Nya walked into the room. Seeing as I now couldn't leave, I sat there listening to the ninja's Sensei praising them about their "hard" work. I had half a mind to expose them just for the fun of it. But I decided to spare them.

A loud honk outside the ship averted everyone's attention, including mine. "It looks like we're about to have visitors," Nya stated, looking out the window before chuckling. "And loud ones at that."
