Ninjago: Hidden Secrets

Can of Worms

A/N: Hey guys! I'm not dead! 

So I know I haven't update this since September, meaning I haven't updated this in 4 months and I'm really sorry! 

I'm a terrible author I know ;n;

Truth is, school was hitting me hard then, especially with exams. I'm also going back to school tomorrow (which I'm dreading) and you know what that means...homework and torture! Yay!

Also I had to undergo some character changes with Ayata and her background due to the new seasons of Ninjago. I'm still trying to finish it as well, season-wise and character-wise =P

I might be editing some of the previous chapters so be aware please ^-^

I've decided to gift you all this really (hopefully) long chapter as I (possibly) edit the previous chapters. 

Merry late Christmas ^w^

P.S.: I proofread this, like, 3 times so I'm hoping this chapter isn't trash ._.'

Ayata's P.O.V.

While I was wandering the Destiny's Bounty, I stumbled upon Lloyd fixing Jay's sparring bot--and by fixing, I meant by him unscrewing some bolts that seemed pretty important.

Curious, I approached him from behind.

"What are you doing?" I asked, causing him to jump.

"A-Ayata!" he squeaked before clearing his throat. "I-I mean--err--Hey, Ayata! W-What's up?" he laughed.

I looked from the wrench in his hands to the robot and then to the pile of bolts and nuts beside him. "Are you...destroying Jay's sparring bot?"

"Well, uh, yes--a-and no! But uh, well you see, uuuum...!"

I pressed a finger to his lips to stop him from talking, his face taking on a tinted red.

"Just tell me what's going on."

He nodded and proceeded to tell me about how his uncle set him up to pin the ninjas against each other. I could tell he was leaving out a certain detail, but I didn't press him on it.

I inspected the nearly sabotaged robot and pointed to a specific screw.

"If you take out that screw then the robot will work for a few minutes before collapsing on itself. It'll be more amusing that way, I think."

"Whoa, really! How'd you know that?" he exclaimed as he watched me unbolt the said screw.

"Hey, you learn a thing or two out on the streets. Especially for as long as I have."

When I finished I briefly saw something flash in his eyes, but I couldn't tell what it was.

"So," I started, "What's next?"

Lloyd did a double-take as he processed what I said. "Wait, you want to help me?"

I nodded. "I've got nothing better to do, so why not?"

A joyful expression painted his features as he grabbed my wrist and pulled me along. 

Lloyd's P.O.V.

Ayata and I were currently heading to Zane after pranking the others. I was actually really surprised when Ayata wanted to help me, not to mention excited. She was really helpful when setting up the pranks, especially with Kai. 

All I had to do was distract him while she switched the game from Fist-to-Face II to Sitar Legend. I don't know how she got behind him, but I didn't care. It was too cool to even think about it.
