The True Green Ninja

Eleven

Hello! It's winter break so I have more time on my hands, and I'm hoping to get some more chapters finished. Also, shoutout to CallieFan for suggesting Wrong Place, Wrong Time; I'll do that for the next chapter!

Edit: it lasts a lot longer than just one chapter.

Y/n's POV

I stare at Zane, dumbfounded. "Why are you still small?" I wonder, but then I reconsider my question. "And how come you turned small in the first place? You're a nindroid; you don't have a younger self."

"I don't understand what's happening!" Zane shrieks. "This does not compute!"

"If a frickin robot can't figure this out, how are we supposed to?!" Jay exclaims.

"Okay, okay! Everyone calm down!" Nya says. "Judging by your expression, y/n, I'm guessing this wasn't supposed to happen."

"You got that right," I agree. "It says in the scroll that all five ninja were supposed to turn older, including Zane. But...it's like logic actually started working here and the tea couldn't age Zane forward because robots aren't supposed to."

"That doesn't make a lot of sense," Cole says.

"I know, right?" I say. "Everyone knows that Ninjago doesn't have any logic. That's just a fact! So I have no idea how it suddenly started working."

"So, you don't know how to solve this?" Kai asks.

"Nope. Not a clue."

"We have to do something!" Zane shrieks. "I don't want to be a min-droid!"

"Well, sucks, 'cause we don't have a cure," Lloyd says.

"When did you become the sassy one?" I ask him.

Lloyd snaps his fingers and sticks out his hip. "Fam, you have no idea."

I burst out laughing.

"Come on, people!" Zane cries. "Focus on the tiny robot!"

I fall to the ground, still cackling.

"Guys, I think we broke y/n," Nya says. "Lloyd, I'm looking at you!"

"It was just a joke!" 

"You're a joke," Jay says to him as he comes over to me. He offers me his hand, and pulls me up onto my feet.

"If we can't turn Zane back, what do you suggest we do?" Cole asks.

"I think we'll just have to go along with it," I say. "Zane's brain still seems to be intact, as well as his maturity, so the only thing that's actually different is his size."

"So... I'll be stuck like this forever?"

"Not forever... just a really long time."

Waaaaaaait a minute. Time? Uh oh.

"Y/n?" Jay asks, waving a hand in front of my face. "You good?"

"Hmm?"

"You got all spacey for a second."

"Yeah, I'm fine," I say. "I just remembered something."

"What kind of something?" Kai asks.

"Something that's supposed to happen but I don't think it's gonna happen the same."

"Uh... care to elaborate?" Cole asks.

"Can't," I say. "You guys shouldnt know about your future; it could alter the outcome of certain events."
