Darkness

~5~

We took refuge on the coast on Ninjago. Something felt different today. I could still feel the Stone army, but there was something else. I didn't know what it was, but I could feel it.

All of us were trying to repair the Bounty, but the boosters were broken, Nya said the ship wouldn't be able to fly for awhile.

"So if the Stone army attacks again, we're sitting ducks." Cole says

"Uh, ducks can fly, Cole. Weren't you listening?" Jay says

"We just got our tails handed to us and we couldn't even stop one of them. Ah, I hate feeling helpless." Kai complains

Master Wu and Zane join us, they were sending his falcon ahead to find something.

"We mustn't give up hope, Kai." Wu says

"But the Stone army is indestructible. You saw it. At best, mine and Linds' combined power could do was slow them down." Lloyd says

Misako came over to us as well, "that's not entirely true. There is a way to defeat them. And it is told within the scrolls."

We all go into the bridge and look over her research.

"The prophecy reveals that the power to defeat the Stone army lies within the Green Ninja." She says

"We tried." Lloyd

"We gave it everything we had." I say

"Yes." Misako began slowly, "but you are stronger than you think. Or rather you will be."

Lloyd and I look at each other.

"So you mean, we need more training?" I ask

Wu and Misako look at each other, Sensei finally nods.

"Twins, Misako and I have been going over the research and we were right in assuming the power was never meant to be shared between the two of you. We believe it only happened because we found out the Green Ninja was going to be both of you when you were still young. That's a lot of power for a child to maintain, so it must've split itself up until one of you would be able to control all of it." Uncle Wu says

I could feel the tension growing in the room as he said these things. The others looked super uncomfortable.

I could also feel the tension growing within me. We knew there was a possibility that one of us wasn't supposed to be the Green Ninja, but hearing it out loud made it even worse. Especially sense we all knew Lloyd was the one prophesied about. Only thing is, no one would come out and say it.

"So in other words, we need to get the rest of the elemental powers transferred to Lloyd?" I ask, eyebrow quirked, I'm sure everyone could see the annoyance I felt all over my face.

"Linds, no one said that..." Lloyd mumbles

I turn to face him, "really? You don't think they're hinting that you have to become the one and only Green Ninja?" I ask, I think my voice was rising.

"You still have the ability to possess all four powers as well, Lindsey." Zane says

I knew he was trying to be nice, but it wasn't helping. Considering it was just to make me feel better.
