My Other Family: A Star Wars Ninjago Crossover

2. Friendships

"Yes," she said "I wanted to ask you a favor"

Luke sat in silence when Nya finished speaking, he shifted from where he sat at his desk; the chair facing Nya who was cross-legged on the floor.

"So let me get this straight," Luke said, "you want me to help you make a samurai mech so you can go out in secret and stop crime."

Nya slowly nodded

"Here's my question, why do you want to do this?" Luke asked

Nya let out a sigh "I'm just tired of feeling useless, I'm sure you can understand."

Luke nodded "you have no idea."

"So you'll help?"

Luke smiled "sure why not?"

------

Over the next few weeks whenever Luke and Nya could get away the two would work on Nya's mech. Nya had found a small garage-like area where they could work without fear of being interrupted. There were times however when the two would have to work in one of their bedrooms, but for the most part, no one would notice when the two would sneak and wouldn't return for hours on end; one of the few perks of being invisible.

It was about a month before the two decided that the mech was ready for a test run. The ninja were very helpful in providing the perfect test, the team had gotten themselves in trouble with the serpentine (which they had been fighting for the last couple of months). The mech had worked beautifully, and after fixing a few bugs and a few upgrades; Nya was ready to go out and be Samurai X.

Luke had to say that helping Nya with her mech and teaching her things about mechanics and machines had been the most fun he had in a long long time.

-------

When the Ninja finally found out that Nya was Samurai X she had made sure to tell them that Luke had helped her make the mech. Luke secretly hoped the Ninja might finally recognize his skills but of course, they still treated him the way they've always had.

However, one good thing was that Zane did start talking to him more often. The Ice Ninja had always been nice and polite to him in the past would say hello and would chat with Luke a few minutes before turning back to whatever he had been doing. Now he would talk with Luke more often and the two got to know each other a bit more.

Luke was also rather close with the youngest member of the team, Lloyd Garmadon the son of Lord Garmadon. When Lloyd starting living with them he was a little bit shy at first and closed off, it didn't help that the boy felt as if he was bothering everyone and couldn't help out. Luke had helped him feel more comfortable; Luke would also talk with him about this father and how one day Lloyd would need to kill him. Luke hadn't done the best job of helping the twelve-year-old feel that killing his father was for the best. But despite that the two did grow close over time; now whenever Lloyd was upset about something or needed someone to talk to he would go to Luke.

Luke was in no way the best at giving people advice but he soon found that Lloyd didn't want much advice. All Lloyd really wanted from Luke was to talk to him when he felt as if no one was listening to him, Luke could understand the feeling. He had felt the same way when he was Lloyd's age (and still did on occasion).

------

Luke and Nya still stayed close and made sure to spend time with each other, one way they did this was by working on Nya's mech and other Samurai stuff. But over time Luke found that the two were spending less and less time together as Nya was spending more time with Jay.

Some people might think that Luke would be jealous of how close Jay and Nya were getting; especially after Jay saved her after the two nearly died at an amusement park. But Luke wasn't jealous of the two at all, he had never liked Nya in a romantic way (despite what everyone believed) he had always seen Nya as a younger sister. He wanted to protect and help her in any way he could.

Along with seeing Nya as a sister he soon grew to see Lloyd as a little brother, he saw Zane as a good friend and he doubted he would ever see the nin-droid as anything other than that. Luke had never had many friends growing up but that only made him appreciate Nya, Lloyd, and Zane more.
