I sighed and my purple eyes narrowed into skits. "It seems she is wishing to draw us out."

Before me was the screen in the bridge, displaying the horrid state of Ninjago city. Under the cover of the midnight moon, Leila had released her pack of mechanical canines which made quick work of terrorizing the people of ninjago. My heart skipped a beat that morning when Lloyd had shaken me from my slumber long before the dawn had crept up.

"Y/n, we need you." He had whispered to me and I had snapped awake instantly.

Now here he stood, at my side. His green eyes took in the footage streaming live from a security camera Zane had acquired earlier. I went rigid as his hand found mine, my head working overtime to kill the blush creeping up my face.

At my other side, Jay nodded thoughtfully. "We have to help though! We can't just leave the people there to fend for themselves."

Unknowingly, I squeezed Lloyd's hand. "What will become of us if we do?"

Lloyd's gaze met mine as his eyes flashed green with determination. Honor. "We have to. It's our job." He nodded and each of his teammates did so in return. His hand was wrenched from mine as they ran off, leaving me and Wu alone on the ship.

I shuffled and turned to Wu. "I do wish to be of service, but I know not what to do." My hands worried in front of me before I forced them still, clasped before me.

The old man quieted in thought before brightening and meeting my gaze. "You may help by preparing tea."

I frowned, casting my gaze downward. "Pardon my saying so, Sensei Wu, but how would that be of use?" He stepped forward and shook his head, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder.

"You must make special tea. Tea of life or tea of healing or offense."

My eyes widened as I finally caught the idea. "Of course! I will need more plants, perhaps but I will." I nodded and my mouth pulled into a grin.

The flying ship landed just behind the tea fields tucked behind my mothers tea shop. The sun rose gently behind me, the warm light bringing a soft golden glow to the plants. Wu gazed down and smiled at me as I hopped from the bounty, bare feet finding the soft soil I had grown up on. With a hand, I gently touched each plant as I passed it, a light sensation tingling my fingers. A happy little sigh escaped from me and I came to stand before the door to the shop. Using a knuckle I knocked, softly and after a few measly seconds, my mother opened the door with a smile.

My arms ached from the jars and plants of tea balanced precariously on top of each other as I made my way back to the Bounty. I fumbled for a moment, foot catching on a root and I scrambled to keep the load balanced before Wu snatched a few things from me. I sent him a grateful smile and we set to work.

Wu work on boiling tea and bottling whilst I was in charge of the leaves. Various bottles of tea were already lined up behind us, crammed into cartons. Each tea was a different color, some different shades of blue or purple or green. The kettle whistled again and Wu worked to dump the water into a large pot where I would scoop a little out to add leaves. My legs wobbled under me, tired from exerting this much energy. Yet still, I persevered, wanting to do my best to assist the warriors.

My hands found the rhythm again quickly, picking the leaves, rubbing them between my fingers, scooping up a vial of hot water, and putting the leaves in. My resolve wavered, and I slid to the floor in a heap. Wu caught my gaze as I flopped onto the floor and gave a worried glance.

"Save what energy you have left. We have enough to help for now." I nodded at his words and laid my head back against the cupboard. My eyes closed and I dared fall into a soft sleep before the ship lurched to one side.

I yelped in alarm, flung to the side before the ship right again. Wu gazed upwards, motioning for me to be silenced. I obliged, not wanting to anger whatever had climbed on board. Wu and I jumped as a form peeked it's head around the corner quick and sudden.

I let out a breath of relief before pushing myself up to my feet before running to Lloyd and pulling him into a swift hug. He held me close, panting wildly as blood trickled from his head onto mine. I pulled away and looked him over, finding a deep claw marks marring his left arm and bruises covering almost everywhere.

"We can't do it. We can't take her." He breathed and I shook my head.

"No. You have to. I can help!" I motioned to the vials of teas behind me and gave him a giddy smile. "Allow me to help. Please." I begged and he scrunched his nose up before nodding.

"Alright. But stay close to me."

I smiled and swiped up the box filled with vials of tea before thumbing through them and pulling a sky blue one from the bottom.

"Drink this, first." I thrust it into Lloyd's outstretched hands, who downed it and seemed to perk up instantly. He smiled at me, eyes flashing green before grabbing my hand and pulling me into the throes of chaos and hurt.
