Here we go guys, a new season, and we will be starting of with the classic kitchen ban for Nova [+2]. :3
____________________________________________________________
*In the early morning in Stiix there was a sound of an explosion.*
"You fucking shrimp! I told you to stay away from my new kitchen!" shouted Ronin in anger.
"My god, Ronin, I were only gonna grab myself a drink. It's not my fault I have bad luck when I enter a kitchen." said Nova, rolling her eyes and drinking a can of soda.
"Don't get sassy with me missy, I'm adding this to your debt along with a ban from my kitchen." said Ronin placing his hands on his hips as he narrowed his eyes at her.
Nova simply shrugged. "You should have started with the ban, and this wouldn't have happened."
"If I did fucking ban you from the kitchen. you would still do it just to be annoying." said Ronin, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
"Meee? Annoy you, noooo, I would never." said Nova acting like she was innocent.
Ronin let out an exhausted sigh, shaking his head. "Why do I even keep you around, shrimp."
Nova giggled. "Because you actually care about my well being." She teased.
"In your dreams kid, anyway, did you actually bring back some stuff that we can sell at my shop or not?" Ronin questioned.
Nova rolled her eyes and dropped the bag that she had been carrying. "Yes, I got you some goods to sell, let me see here. A blade cup, some weird round bended swords? A scroll about stealing souls that I really don't wanna know how that one works, a book about weird tea, a golden statue of a duck?" She said with each item she pulled out of the bag.
"Hmmm, I'm not sure about those swords or the tea book, but whatever I can sell I'll take it." said Ronin looking at the goods.
"Okay....so can I go now or what?" Nova asked.
"Do whatever, kid, just don't bring the law back with you." He said, motioning with his hand for her to go.
Nova giggled before activating her mask that ended up covering her whole face with a screen along with purple, glowing animated eyes.
"No promises, old man." [robotic] She said before leaving and headed outside.
Nova looked around and went to travel through the shadows until she was sitting on the roof of a building looking out at the sea.
"It's been like, what, 1 year since that big fight in season two? Damn, time really flies." She thought with her feet dangling over the roof.
"... I miss does guys.....mostly Lloyd...but after how they reacted to the last time they saw me as a shadow..... I'm not sure I'll ever be able to face them without the fear of them killing me....if they saw how I look now. I don't think it would end well." She sighed with all her thoughts running through her head.
Nova pulled out her little owlbear plushie, taking a look at it while thinking about everything that had happened through her life up until now. "I wonder when season four is gonna start.....hell, if I'm even gonna be part of it, I'm not sure. But I am an elemental master of darkness or decay, depending on who knows there might be a chance...though, if I did go to the tournament I'm not sure if I would be able to get close with anyone. One being I'm a thief. Two, that if they know who I am, they might stay away from me, or try and get rid of me. Three, my mind being read... I can't say for sure if they would be able to use my powers, at least my elemental powers."
Nova wondered, looking at her boots that had some glowy tech under them. "At least my decoy shoes should be able to cover up my gaming abilities, so when I use them, they wouldn't question it."
Putting away her plushie in a small bag pocket she had hidden in her clothes, she slowly got up and went on to jump from roof to roof just for the fun of it and to stop her thoughts from going anywhere else.
But while jumping around, something was thrown at her, but she was able to dodge it in time. When Nova looked around, she couldn't see anyone, so she turned to the arrow that was now stuck to the wall next to her, and looked at what was stuck to it.
Nova grabbed the arrow and took off whatever was on it, and smiled behind her mask when she read the message.
"Master Chen has personally invited you to participate in his Tournament of Elements.
Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Tell no one, or suffer the consequences.
If you wanna obtain all the riches, and fortune you could ever dream of.
Meet on the pier at midnight and leave your weapons behind."
Nova smiled before the invitation exploded in her hands. [robotic] "Wait, midnight.... I only have a few hours left before they arrive!?" She quickly rushed through the shadows to her room, and grabbed a few items that she would bring with her before then using the shadows to travel to Ninjago pier.
*Nova arrives at the dock.*
Nova was relieved when she saw the other masters were at the pier, still waiting. "Looks like I got here just in time."
*The ninja arrive at the docks with other Elemental Masters.*
"Ah, I told you we shouldn't have worn them. The Tournament of Elements. You think all of them have powers like us?" said Kai.
"When I asked my dad about it, he got really suspicious. Like there's something he's keeping from me." said Lloyd.
"The fortune cookie said, "tell no one or else there'd be consequences." " said Cole.
Nova got a little nervous when she saw the ninja had showed up, so she went on to stay further away so they wouldn't notice her. Even if she was wearing a mask that was hiding her identity along with her half purple hair, she didn't want to take any chances.
"Relax, we're cool." said Lloyd as a ferry pulls up. "We don't know yet if this is a trap. Wherever they take us, we have to stick together."
"Watch your step, madam." said Clouse to a girl in an orange gi as Kai looks at her and sighs.
"We can't let anything distract us. You hear me, Kai?" said Lloyd.
"Uh? Uh, yeah. Uh, got it. Whatever you said." says Kai.
Nova rolled her eyes before walking over to but was stopped by Clouse.
"Don't think I wouldn't notice you sneaking in weapons, my little thief friend." Clouse said, grabbing some throwing knives from her secret pocket in her scarf.
"They are just made of rubber, geez relax." [robotic] Nova said, looking at him with an animated raised eyebrow.
"Hey, who's that guy?" Lloyd asked, pointing to Nova with her tech mask on.
"I have no idea." said Cole.
"Do you think he's a Nindroid like Zane?" Jay asked.
"I hope not." said Kai.
Nova got back her rubber knives and was able to get on the boat looking around before finding some crates and sitting down, taking in the view while also trying to get away from the ninja.
"Master Chen will be charmed to see you've accepted his offer. A Master of Spinjitzu shall fare favorably in his Tournament." said Clouse.
"Hey, we're not here to fight. We're here to save a friend." said Jay.
"Don't be so petty, Master Jay." Clouse grabs Jay's nunchucks. "Everyone here has something to fight for."
"Chopsticks. I'm a big eater, heh." Jay gulps when he throws his nunchucks into the sea.
"Lloyd, wait! If you get on that boat, you may never return." said Garmadon, who came running.
"What are you doing here, Dad?" said Lloyd.
Nova turned her attention to what was happening, and smiled a bit behind her mask, knowing what was coming and couldn't wait.
"Master Chen is a dangerous man who should never be trusted. Whatever he promised you, do not believe him." said Garmadon.
"Lord Garmadon. It's been a while. It's Sensei now, correct? I can't remember." said Clouse.
"Clouse. I see Master Chen still has you running his errands." said Garmadon.
Nova let out a small snicker but tried to make it sound like she was coughing.
"I have to go, Dad. This is about Zane. It's about family. If we're ever going to be whole again, I have to get on that ship." said Lloyd.
"Last call. Are you in, or out?" said Clouse.
"I can't stop you, son, but I can join you." said Garmadon.
"Sorry, no more room on the ship." said Clouse.
"No room?" Garmadon kicks a thug off the ship.
Nova did her best to bite down a laugh, so it came out more as a giggle from watching this.
"I stand corrected. There's room now." said Clouse.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to compete. Only to look out for my interests." said Garmadon.
"Let's ship out!" shouted Clouse.
*The ninja watches the other Masters display their powers.*
"You know him. You said his name's Clouse." said Lloyd.
"Don't be fooled by his attire. He is a Master of Dark Arts and Master Chen's number two." said Garmadon.
"Huh, I thought Master Chen's number two was an eggroll and fried rice." said Cole.
"Why haven't you or Wu ever told us there are others with powers like us?" Kai asked.
"Because there are some things we don't want you to know. You were led to believe you were special, yet you never questioned where your powers came from." said Garmadon.
"Uh, are you implying that I'm not special?" Jay asked.
"Everyone on this ship is a descendant of an original Elemental Master." said Garmadon.
"Elemental Master? Who were they?" Lloyd asked.
"They were the First Spinjitzu Master's guardians, each endowed with an Elemental Power that has passed down through generations." Garmadon explained.
"If that's true, then so is my sister Nya. But she can't do what I can." said Kai.
"Can't she? Power lies in all of you. It only needs to be awoken. The fighters here serve no master and have managed to unlock their own True Potential. For instance, that pale man. A distant relative to the Master of Light. Watch closely, and you'll see how he's stayed hidden all these years." Garmadon explains as Mr. Pale disappears. Griffin Turner runs by. "Then there's Griffin Turner. Grandson to the Master of Speed."
"Hey, you can't lay a hand on me. I'm faster than fast. Swifter than swift." said Griffin, running by.
Nova rolled her eyes as she had seen this episode lots of times, so she simply stretched her leg forward, causing Griffin to trip and fall. "Oh, sorry, my fault." [robotic] She said with a smirk behind her mask.
"Hey! That wasn't nice, you did that on purpose." said Griffin, annoyed.
Nova looked at him as she raised an animated eyebrow. "How would I do it on purpose when you are so fucking fast. I'm telling you, it was just bad timing." [robotic] She replied.
Griffin took a good moment to think this through. "Huh.... I guess you are right, I am very fast, sorry about getting all angry there." He said.
Nova gave a small nod before turning back to take in the view of the sea.
The ninja and Garmadon had just watched what happened, a little confused.
"And who is that?" Lloyd asked, pointing towards Nova.
"Hmmm, I don't know, with that mask covering their face I can't say who they are, nor what their elemental power is." said Garmadon.
"Uh, Master of Speed? Pfft. That's not an Element." said Jay.
"So asks the Master of Lightning." said Garmadon as they went on their way.
"Oh, snap, he got you there." said Cole.
"Damn, Jay just got burned hard there." Nova thought, smiling behind her mask.
"And, uh, who's she?" Kai looks at Skylor.
"I don't know. Most of these people I have not seen. But they will all be gunning for you. You are ninja. You serve with honor. Here, that means very little." said Garmadon.
Kai sees Karlof harassing Skylor. "Well, maybe honor means something to me." He walks up to them.
"Oh god....here we go." Nova slowly got up from where she was sitting and went on to check out this chaos that was gonna come up here.
"It's okay. I can handle myself." said Skylor.
"This none of his business. Karlof cold. Karlof just wants her cloak." said Karlof.
"You look like you got big enough mittens. Why not leave the gal alone?" said Kai.
"These not mittens. These crush ninja." said Karlof.
"Ha, I'd like to see you try." said Kai.
"Save it for the Tournament, Kai." said Garmadon.
"Don't think Karlof afraid of you." said Karlof.
"No, you don't think much at all, do you?" said Kai before Karlof lifts him. "Unh! Just jump in whenever you feel like it."
"You say Karlof not smart?" asked Karlof.
"I'd say Karlof is plenty smart not to start something he can't finish." said Lloyd.
"You just made it worse." [robotic] said Nova behind the ninja, causing them to jump.
"When did you get there?" Lloyd asked, narrowing his eyes at her.
"I think you ninja are just getting rusty, if a simple thief like myself can sneak up on you." [robotic] Nova said as her eyes clearly showed that she was smirking.
*Karlof punches Kai.*
"Whoa!"
"Oopsy. Guess Karlof not smart." said Karlof.
Garmadon stops the ninja from intervening. "Kai started this. He can finish it." They both start fighting.
"Fire!" Kai grunts.
Nova let out a sigh and went on to use their shadows to have both of the masters stop from fighting. Just as Clouse finally showed up.
"Enough!" shouted Clouse as Nova let their shadows let go of them and Karlof being the first to leave.
"Idiots.... I really do miss those idiots." Nova thought with a sad but somewhat happy expression on her mask before walking away.
"I'm sorry if I was cold to you earlier." Skylor helps him up, secretly using her Amber on him.
"We're here. Welcome to Chen's Island." Clouse hides behind a crate and pulls out a walkie-talkie. "Master Chen, Garmadon has returned. He says he will be looking out for his interests. And the master of darkness is also here, should I make the first move?"
"Interesting. You worry too much, Clouse. Everything will work out. Just wait and see. As for the master of darkness, just leave them be for now." Chen hangs up.
"I swore to never return." said Garmadon.
"You know, you should never swear. It's a sign of weak verbal skills." said Jay.
"I'm pretty sure if Nova heard you say that, she would say...." said Cole.
"Fucking bullshit." [robotic] said Nova and Kai in unison, causing the ninja and Garmadon to look at her.
"What? It is fucking bullshit." [robotic] said Nova as she went on to walk past them, since she could already feel Garmadon staring at her back while she was walking further away.
"If Zane's on that island, we'll find him. We have to." said Lloyd.
Chen walks up to Zane's cell. "I hold all the cards." He laughs evilly.
