The Scroll of Uneri-Hara

"I'm not sure we should be in here."

"Oh come on Zane, don't you wanna know what other stuff Sensei Garmadon has down here?"

Spending time at the newly reformed former lord's monastery proved to be most impressive. There were no Nindroids for miles around, and it stayed that way for three days straight. The group spent most of their time either signing autographs, learning more from their new sensei or studying what the techno blades were capable of. One day Jay managed to persuade Zane to sneak into a hidden library of scrolls. "I bet he's got all kinds of new moves he never shown us!"

"Possibly for good reason, we're trespassing in here. If he catches us we might-"

"Oh what's he gonna do? Give us a time out? Or oh my, he may need to give your shiny butt a spanking!"

"Shhh, everyone else is asleep right now.. Why did you bring me along anyways?"

"You woke up and asked what I was doing, do you nindroids even need sleep anyways? I know Pixal mentioned sleep mode when we undid the Overlord's hacking of her, good thing she came alone that night huh?"

"I suppose, whatever is powering me could mean I don't need to sleep, but I do have the urge to do so before I found out about who I was. I slept so often I even started dreaming."

"Like when you saw Lloyd? I bet if Pix gets actual REM sleep she could be seeing her own dreams too, I wonder what they'd be about. But enough about them, lets go check this place out!"

Dashing towards the scrolls, the two ninja picked out whichever ones looked most interesting. Jay obviously looked for any chance of him to woo his way right into his crush's heart, or at least a way for him to become even more handsome than he figured he already was. Zane meanwhile thought he might as well try to find a new martial art that might be useful to the team. "Let's see now, hmm? This one is simply called Uneri-Hara, I wonder why it's roped up so tightly."

"Probably just something really old. What's this Uneri-Hara thing anyways? That the name of whoever wrote the scroll?"

"I think it might be the direct translation to something, I'll have to look through my database in order to discover it. But it wouldn't be w-"

But before he could finish his sentence, Jay untied the binds holding the scroll and opened it right up. "Pft, it's just some poetry. Round as the moon glowing bright, Those within earshot will now take flight. Pfft, sounds like something those Darkly's kids would write."

However it didn't last long, as the lightning and ice ninjas emitted a strong light. "Ah!! What's going on?!. Wait.. Uneri-Hara, those words means Swell-Belly." Zane realized, watching as his middle surged outwards and tore up his gi.

Jay wasn't too far behind, trying to tighten up his belt with no avail, it snapped off right off in an instant. "Wait lemme read it backwards! It might he-" Another surge of inflation hit the duo, their limbs sinking slowly but surely into their growing frames. "Ack! I dropped it!"

In an attempt to reach for it, the blue clad ninja found himself floating up and away. "Uh Zane? You gotta weigh me down with your big metal butt!"

"Um, I do hate to alarm you but I happen to be levitating at the same rate. And my gluteus maximus doesn't have much weight on it anyways." The nindroid muttered, fully rounded out and just hit the ceiling. Their limbs and necks completely disappeared, leaving them as nothing more than giant bellies with tiny heads. "Why did you read it out loud? You could have waited for me to translate!"

"Well how was I supposed to know this was going to happen?! I was just looking for some cool new moves we could learn!"

"New moves? All it did was turn us into blimps!"

"Blimps you say?" A familiar voice rang, looking down, the two inflated ninja found sensei Garmadon smirking below them. "I see you've opened up the cursed scroll, I had it locked up for a good reason. I was hoping if the Overlord were to mistake it for some sort of old forbidden art and become vulnerable if he read it."

"Oh well that's just great, now how do we change back?! Got any scroll that can get us to deflate?"

"I'm afraid not, it'll take a week for you two to deflate. But in the meantime, Jay, you could be the basis for why I don't let anyone down here."

"Why me?! Zane came along too!"

"I know he did, but I'm sure he didn't want to do anything rash."

Getting some rope, Garmadon tied it to whatever was left of their ankles, pulled them down and rolled them out of the room. "On the bright side, I'm sure your girlfriends would love to have round cuddle toys."
