"The sign says 'BEWARE'' ya know." A Voice said. Lloyd whizzed around and dropped the book. It was the ninja he had seen in the city. The voice was deepened like the samurai.
"Who are you?" Lloyd asked.
"No." The ninja said firmly."First tell me who you are, and what you are doing here."
"My name is Lloyd Garmadon. I followed you here becuase I need to ask you some things."
"Like...?"
"well, first of all, who are you?"
He flipped off his mask. Wait. She flipped off her mask. She had short, but longer than Nya's, hair, which was blonde."My name is Willow. I protect the tree-horns."
"Wait." Lloyd picked up the journal."Are you the tree-horn ninja?"
"No. My mom was. Until she... Well I continued what she started."
I sure hope my daughter is okay. They mean everything to me.
Lloyd knew this girl is Zane's sister.
"Did you know your father?"
"Not really. When I was really young, he was taken away by skeletons."
Lloyd knew this girl is Zane's sister
"Well. You have a brother."
Willow chuckled then laughed. Lloyd frowned at her.
"How would you know if I had a brother."
"Because he saved the entire city. He sacrificed himself to save us from the overlord." Lloyd shouted. Her eyes widened and she stumbled.
"The... the Titanium ninja? The Titanium ninja is my brother?" Her back it the wall and she slid down."H-how..." Lloyd sat down next to her.
"He was the bravest out of all of us." Lloyd smiled. Willow looked at him. She looked like Zane. He turned away from her. It was like seeing Zane and it hurt to think of him."Although... I never uderstood why he would do something like that."
"Lloyd?" A voice called. Kai.
"Lloyd!" Cole.
"You in here?" Jay. Willow put her hood on as Kai, Jay and Cole reachd the bottom of the stairs. Lloyd stood and outstretched his hand to Willow. She hesitated then took and he pulled her to her feet.
"Who's this?" Kai asked suspiciously.
"This is--"
Willow coughed and shot Lloyd a look.
"Oh... Um... Sh- He won't tell me. But apparently he is the tree-horn ninja." The three boys gasped.
"You mean like those things that almost crushed us?!" Jay blurted."CRUSHED US!!!"
"I-I apologize for their..." Willow spoke in her robotic voice and she cleared her throat."Rude behaivior. They've never seen humans, other than me, before. They panicked. I-I... Panicked."
"Lloyd," Said Kai."How'd you find this place; we never took you here?"
"I followed Wi-- Um... Him." He looked at Willow.
Sorry... He thought, wishing Willow could read minds.
"So," Cole said, eyeing Willow."Who, exactly, are you?"
"I-I.. Um..." She was interupted by a loud BOOM! from ouside that shook the earth. Lloyd toppled and fell. Willow fell onto his stomach. Kai, Cole and Jay landed on top of each other. Lloyd's face felt warm as he and Willow stood. Everyone ran up the stairs as fast as they could, with Willow in the front. Once they reached outside, they were struck down by something. Hard. Lloyd hit a tree and then fell into the white snow. He pushed himself up and saw tall Creatures that looked identical to the trees. Tree-horns. Wait a second. Their eyes were red. Lloyd remembered Zane's description of them and he didn't think Zane mentioned The Tree-horns having red eyes.
Lloyd ran over to Willow and helped her up.
"What's going on?" Lloyd asked.
"I don't know. Let me talk to them." Willow panted and ran to one of the Animals.
"Birch! What's happened to you?" The tree-horn lurched toward her but Lloyd leaped onto her and knocked her out of it's crushing range. Lloyd quickly got up and used his spinjitzu to knock three of them down."Wait!" Willow called but in her normal voice. Her Voice modifier must've broke because of the fall."Lloyd, don't! I don't want them to them to get hurt!" Lloyd stopped and One of the tree-horns kicked Lloyd which sent him flying to a tree. Purple and Black spot and stars clouded his vision before he fell to the ground. He groaned.
"Lloyd!" The others cried. Lloyd suddenly felt like sleeping. He closed his eyes and ignored what was going on around him.
"Lloyd."Someone said. He opened them and saw Willow kneeling over him. Her hood was up and she looked pretty beaten up."Lloyd, are you okay?" The tree-horns were gone.
"Wha..." He choked out and sat up. They all were around him."What happened?" Did he fall asleep?
"There's something corupting the tree-horns." Cole said.
"We don't know why but someone is mind-controlling them and Using them for... Something." Kai said.
"You alright?" Jay asked.
"I think..." He stood and stumbled.
"We should get back to the academy." Kai said.
"Alright." Lloyd said then looked at Willow."Will you be okay?"
"Yeah." She looked behind her."I have a safe place away from the tree-horns."
"Okay," Willow looked back at him."Just be careful."
* * *
"So..." Jay started on the trek back to the school."Who exactly was that?"
"Her name's Willow. She's... Zane's sister."
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
"WHAT?!" They shouted.
"How is that even possible?!" Cole yelled."He's a nindroid and Willow's a human! She is human right?"
"What kind of joke is this Lloyd?!" Jay cried.
"There's no way SHE could be Zane's sister!" Kai scolded.
"Well... Yes, she's human, It's not a joke and Yes, she is Zane's sister."
"But--" Jay started.
"Listen!" Lloyd exclaimed."I trust her and you guys should too. I read Zane's father's journal. I know she's Zane's sister." He kept walking.
"Ooooooo." Cole smirked, cathing up with Lloyd."Looks like Lloyd's got a crush on the tree-horn girl."
"No. No I don't."
"Ha!" Jay blurted, high-fiving Kai."Denial is the aproval! You're in love!"
"Don't be ridiculous. I barely even know her."
"Haven't you ever heard of "Love at first sight"?" Kai jokes.
"I'm not gonna answer that question." Lloyd said sternly as his face turns red. The three teachers burst out with laughter and bug Lloyd for the rest of the way home.
