In this story the ninja aren't ninja, but a band. Everyone knows their identity, but not the singers. She remains under a mask, hiding her face from the audience. But tonight it changes. Also Lloyd is a girl in this.
-----------------------------------
"Are you sure about this?" Kai asked, looking at his blond friend. She was wearing a long dark green coat, under it was a dress in a brighter green. Golden high heels peeking out under the coat.
Her blond hair was curled, hanging lose around her shoulders. Normally it was straight, but for their concerts, she liked to curl them.
She put her black mask into position and nodded. "It's time they get to know, don't you think? I have been hiding for too long. If they decide to hate us because of it, it' their loss" she said simply.
Kai sighed. "If you're so sure, then fine. I could never change your mind."
Kai wore a red shirt, to black-reddish belts in a cross over his waist. Even his skinny jeans were red, as his shoes.
"Okay guys" Cole said, coming into the back room. He wore black attire, close to Kai's, just black. It was their thing. Everyone wore almost the same stuff, just in different colors. Kai red, Cole black, Zane white, Jay blue. Just Nya and Lloyd were wearing dresses. While Jay had a dark blue, Nya had a light blue.
"Time to shock the whole city. They won't see this one coming" he grinned, closing the door as he left again.
Lloyd chuckled lightly. "Well he's right. Time to surprise everyone. Maybe they'll even like it" and with that, she and Kai went onto the stage.
Smoke filled the whole stage. Lights flashing in different colors, people cheering.
Kai was playing lead guitar. Nya on the bass. Cole was playing drums, Zane Keyboard. And Jay, Jay played violin.
In the beginning they played one of their hits: Frozen (Within temptation)
People cheered as the music began to play. Kai and Zane starting the intro. Within seconds though, Lloyd started singing. If only people would understand the meanings of her songs.
I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul
I would stop running, If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all but I'm forced to let go
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you
When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you
You say that I'm frozen but what can I do?
I can feel your sorrow
You won't forgive me,
but I know you'll be all right
It tears me apart that you will never know but I have to let go
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons I did it for you When lies turn into truth
I sacrificed for you You say that I'm frozen
but what can I do?
Everything will slip way Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness Only time will tell its tale If it all has been in vain I can't feel my senses I just feel the cold Frozen..
.But what can I do?
Frozen...
Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?Can't tell the reasons I did it for you When lies turn into truth I sacrificed for you You say that I'm frozen,
frozen...
Lloyd breathed in deeply. Tonight things would change.
"Hello Ninjago" she yelled into the microphone. "Are you ready to rock!?"
The people in the crowd cheered louder. Screaming and yelling for more.
"You know, we have been performing for some time now. Two years to be exact. And there is one question that I hear again and again" she looked over at Kai.
People keep asking me: who are you?" she laughed. "If I had to be honest, I would say, you all have your theories, right!" the crowd screamed in agreement.
"Well tonight, this question will be answered. During the next song I will reveal the truth to you. And I'm pretty sure you all know this song. After all, It's all I need" she said, giving a pretty obvious hint.
I'm dying to catch my breath
Oh why don't I ever learn?
I've lost all my trust,
Though I've surely tried to turn it around
She reached for the hood of her coat, hands shaking. Her head was ducked, lingering over the microphone, her mask hidden. But she was scared. She couldn't do this.
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
She took her hands down again, shaking slightly.
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear me down
You've opened the door now, don't let it close
I'm here on the edge again
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning it around
Slowly her hands found their way to her mask, head bowing down again. Her eyes hardened under her mask. Now or never. She took it off, her head shooting up, ripping her cloak off to reveal the green dress underneath. She could tell people were shocked to see her, but she didn't care. She had never felt so free. Finally showing her face.
Can you still see the heart of me?
All my agony fades away
When you hold me in your embrace
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Her friends smiled around her. The blond had finally made the first step. Now she was throwing everything into her performance, in a way she never did before.
I tried many times but nothing was real
Make it fade away, don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
Save me from my fear
Don't tear me down
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Don't tear me down for all I need
Make my heart a better place
Give me something I can believe
Don't tear it down, what's left of me
Make my heart a better place
Make my heart a better place
In the end Lloyd was breathing hard, chest heaving in exhaustion. As the music dies down, so did the crowd. She had expected something like this, if she was being honest.
But then something unexpected happened. Everyone cheered loudly. Maybe even louder, than they had ever before. They had liked it. They finally seemed to understand her messages. She had been so honest all the time. Leaving messages in the songs she wrote. But she never expected this.
They finally accepted her. NO matter who her father was. Maybe things would go different from now on.
--------
So this is basically the whole one shot. Not much but I think you get the message. Listen to the songs while you read it. Especially the second one, abd
