Mission: Green

Chapter ten

Skies covered the moonlight, forcing it to hide behind a mist of darkness that came over the land of ninjago.
On the top of a rooftop, a shadow suddenly stopped and looked up at the skies.
Her hair was dancing in the cold wind that passed her. She honestly didn't know what made her stop here, but somehow, something in the heavens above had caught her attention.
Her eyes lightened up as the moon managed to break through a bit.
" 47, we're almost there, you should hang on. " a boy called from a few houses away.
47 turned her attention to her leader.
" yes, I'm sorry. I just needed a break" she lied. Her whole life, she had been through intense training, so she wouldn't get exhausted easily.
Two other shadows joined her at the rooftop.
Their red hair and green eyes caught her attention from the skies, and looked at them.
" I'm coming, calm down " she rolled with her eyes as they were pretending to think she was dead.
" we might as well continue now. The league wants us there in time. This new mission is very important." 47 joined them as well. The twins looked at him.
" well I'm sure they wouldn't mind us looking around?" They grins. Without another word they jumped down from the rooftops and to the ground where they quickly stole some fruit from outside a store.
" idiots " 47 mumbles as she refuses to take any of the stolen fruit that they were offering her.
45 shook his head in disappointment.
" I won't even try. Now let's move on."
Their leader now starts jumping from rooftop to rooftop and headed towards the base where he once used to grow up.
47 followed right behind him. She was excited. She and the others hasn't been at their base for over four years! She couldn't wait to meet Green. It had been too long and she wondered how he was now. Last time they had met, they had been 12.
The twins followed closely behind her. It took a while but suddenly, 45 stopped in font of an old abounded house. It looked like it was haunted and the whole place looked like a dead man's graveyard.
" I don't remember this being the entrance to the league..." 47 mumbles as she steps up to get a better look.
" well this is the place we were told to meet up at. And I believe the league has more than one entrance, to be honest."
47 had to agree on the last part. The wind was stronger here, and to 47's annoyance, her hair was getting in the way.
" were we told to wait outside or shall we enter?" 467 asked, not knowing if he wanted to go in.
" well... I don't think waiting out here will do anything. Let's enter" 45 commanded, and the others nods. The pull down their masks to cover up their faces and slowly enters the scary house. 45 carefully opens the door, and lets 47 go in first. She slowly slides in, studying the place, looking out for any kind of danger. Then making sure it's safe, she gives the signal.
The others enters without a noice, and quietly enters the living room of the hose. To their surprise, the fire in the fireplace is lit and a tall man is standing in front of it, with his back facing them.
They recognized him right away.
" m...master Clouse... " 45 staggered, not expecting to see their old master.
Clouse turned to face then, with both arms tugged on his back.
" it's been a while my students. It sure has been" he narrowed his eyes at them. All four fell to their knees and bowed before him.
" it's an honor to meet you again..." 45 spoke on the behalf of the team, being the leader and all.
" raise children, I hope the 4 years I've been gone from you haven't effected your skills."
" no master, of course not. The league in the west has followed your commands and kept training us."

Clouse watched them for a moment before he gave the signal for them to rise.
47 looked around the room, noticing 77/Green was not there with him.
" master... may I ask where 77 is...?" She asked, almost embarrassed to look up at him.
" and why do you ask this of me?" He watched her.
" it's just that... we don't know what happened to him after the green light incident..."
Clouse had hoped they had forgotten, but had expected this to come up. After they had been sent away, he had personally been training the boy to reach his full potential, with overlord keeping an eye on him.
Only overlord and Clouse knew the true identity of the child and therefore he had been given the task to train him.
In fact, he still remembered the night he had been assigned to kidnap the child from his parents at the age of two.
