Ninjago: Bluehood (Book 2 Of The Bluehood Trilogy)

Dinner Time!

Warning: Blood and Gore

Darkshade played with his powers in the corner of The Just's sleeping area, letting little spheres of energy dance around his fingers and fly off into the open air where the dissolved into nothing. He had never seen where they slept as Lloyd, but seeing it now disgusted him. It was lit by a black fire in the middle that somehow gave off a light equal to that of a normal fire. With sleeping bags circled around it like a how a cult would circle a pentagram. Scratch's purple one next to Shadow's deep, dark scarlett red one next to Tempest's black one next to Bluehood's blue one next to Pistol's Grey one next to Scratch's again, each with a single pillow to match. Echo foregoing the option of using a sleeping bag because he didn't need sleep, and instead guarding their temporary home. Now However, The others had moved their sleeping bags nearer to the wall to Make room for Echo's copper coloured sleeping bag, For the sake of Darkshade needing rest. The sleeping bag had been inserted inbetween Tempest and Bluehood. Bluehood tossed a copper pillow on top of Darkshade's new bed. Scratch had done her best to cover the ground with Dark Crystal, Ensuring that no dirt got onto the sleeping bags.

"We need better sleeping quarters." Darkshade said, closing his fist and making his spheres dissolve into thin air.

"Your telling me. This isn't the best accommodation we've ever been in." Pistol replied, Pulling his hood over his face and rolling over onto his side on his sleeping bag.

"It's no five star hotel, that's for sure." Echo intergected. Entering the cave with a bunch of Fruits and vegetables. Tempest's Eye's widened at his haul.

"Where did you get that? This Forest doesn't grow anything like that? And The Market knows who you are, Your not in a discuise!" She exclaimed.

"A little Weapon goes a long way." Echo said, taking a dagger out from behind his back.

"Do we have any meat?" Darkshade asked.

"We have a rabbit cooking literally right there." Scratch threw Darkshade a 'WTF' look and pointed to the fire which indeed, had pieces of chopped up meat cooking in a pan above it held up by A dark crystal frame.

"I prefer my meat raw, and Alive if possible. I'm going hunting." Darkshade started to walk towards the door.

"But you always ate meat normally." Bluehood pointed out.

"That was Human. I am Human's Oni side. and Oni do things differently to You Humans." Darkshade replied bluntly.

"Not all of us are Human ya know." Scratch said, referring to both herself who was half Unicorn (Though it didn't show) and Shadow, who was a sentimonster though she was not aware of it.

"Oh?" Darkshade inquired, interested.

"I'm from another realm, in which humans do not exhist. Being from that realm and a from a human mother makes me only half human. Which is why i have powers." Scratch told him.

"Bye." Darkshade responded, choosing to ignore everything that the other worldly princess of shadows words. He left the cave and seemed to fade into the shadows.

"Okay, Tempest, can we talk to you?" Scratch addressed their leader. Echo, Bluehood and Shadow formed a circle, integrating Tempest into it as she sighed. She knew what this was about.

"Go ahead." She replied, bracing herself for what she knew they were going to discuss.

"Did we really have to bring Lloyd into our group? We all hate him. Seriously. Why didn't we just go with Scratch's plan to take 'em out one by one?" Bluehood asked her. Tempest Sighed.

"You wanted Them to suffer right? Why not make them die at the hands of the one they considered their brother, their leader? And when he's weakned he'll be easier for us to crush him. Oni power or not. An elemental masters emotional state affects their powers, remember when Aspheera stole Kai's powers and he believed they were gone for good? Then he believed that he could summon then and they obeyed." Tempest explained. A sadistic smile forming on her face.
