Death to the Ninja

Chapter 11

Betrayal. Plot Twists. Cliffhangers. All things I'm really bad at, yet all the things included in this chapter. The next one will be even worse, I'll actually be attempting to write action :3

Nya's POV

My eyes opened wide. How dare she tell the ninja that she knew the full story, and I didn't. Ok, I hadn't been 100% truthful, but it's not like I lied or anything. Harumi was making it seem as if I had betrayed my friends and when I went back for forgiveness, lied to their faces.

I looked up from my thoughts. We were in a long line, chained together. As Harumi's army trudged on with us as their prisoners, the few left of Ninjago's citizens peered out of their makeshift houses and the tall skyscrapers that they know called home.

A few gasps and whispers were heard as they laid their eyes on the elemental masters and the rest of the Resistance.

Some were shocked, some were angry, but most.......

Most were scared.

I couldn't believe it. The looks of horror on their faces just said it all. We were monsters to them.

And it was my fault.

After what seemed like forever, we stopped.

"NO! That's our home!" I heard Kai shout.

"Like something you see ninja?" Harumi asked snidely.

I looked up. We were facing the steps leading up to the monastery.

I didn't get it. Is this where Harumi's headquarters were? The answer came to me and the others a second later.

"NINJA! This is just a little taste of the punishment to come," Harumi laughed.

She took a control from one of the closest henchmen. On it were several switches and buttons. She pressed one button, then flicked two of the switches.

I held my breath. What was going to happen?

We stood in silence, Harumi in front of us, smiling cruelly.

Then I heard an ear-splitting noise.

The monastery burst into flames. The roof started to fall in as eruptions of fire started to erupt from the floor beneath it.

She had planted dynamite beneath our home. She had blown it up.

Tears streamed down my face, as memories of the monastery came flooding in.

Training there, sleeping there, laughing there, the paintings, the memories of our adventures there, Kai building the elemental weapons, Jay....

Jay asking me to be his Yang......

I made up my mind.

I'll finally tell them the truth.

The whole truth.

HARUMI'S POV

She broke! I made her break!

I was sitting on my chair in front of the Resistance, in the remains of Borg Tower. Nya was beside me looking incredibly nervous.

"Now, now, Nya! OPEN YOUR DAMN MOUTH AND TELL THEM THE TRUTH!" I shouted.

Nya jumped at my outburst and took a deep breath in.
