Perfume (Part 1)
"I'm gonna tell you this one. last. time. LET US OUT!" Kai yelled at the guard who was leaning against a wall nearby, not planning to negotiate.
"Kai, let it go. There's no use." Lloyd tried to calm him down, but Kai wasn't much of a patient, listening one.
He tried to lean out through the small bars, but couldn't slip through. He frowned. "At least give us a separate cage!" He yelled while pointing at the person behind him.
"Wow, that just hurt my feelings." Ronin sarcastically said.
"What feelings?" Cole asked rhetorically.
"Ha ha, very funny. Look, I don't want to start trouble-" Ronin was then interrupted by an angry Kai.
"You? Don't want to start trouble? Remember who's fault it is that we are caged here? WITH YOU!"
Kai's always had a short temper, but it was at times like these that the others accepted it. They all knew Ronin was a no good, trying to find a good deal to save his own back, not caring about making friends and especially not keeping them once made.
"As I remember correctly, it wasn't just my fault only. How about Ny-"
"Don't you dare talk bad about my sister! Thanks to you, there might be a chance that we'll never see her again, you-" Kai was ready to slap Ronin in his face, but held back in the last second, remembering he was a ninja with a reputation. He groaned and plumped on the ground, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Cole walked up to him and sat down next to him, putting his hand on Kai's shoulder. "Hey, I'm sure she's fine, don't worry."
"What if she's not? What if she's in danger and all we can do is wait for something to happen?" Kai started to sound worriedly.
"Then I know for sure that Jay will find her. He's just as protective over her as you, you know that." Cole comforted him.
Kai sighed. "You're right. Let's just hope they're alright."
Earlier that day
The Ninja were relaxing in the living room, playing Prime Empire and eating pizza, when suddenly the telephone began to ring. Nya, being the closest to it, answered. "Hello?... Yes, it's Nya..."
The others were all looking at her after pausing their game, waiting for the call to end to ask who it was. They saw her facial expressions turn from a cheerful smile to a frown. "Uh huh, yeah.... I understand. We'll be on our way." Then she hung up.
"Who was it?" Zane asked.
"The commissioner. He said that there was a riot at Kryptarium. He told us to come as quickly as possible." She said while walking up to her spear which was on the other side of the room, laying on the floor.
"Then we better get there now!" Lloyd jumped up from the sofa to the ground and ran out of the room, with the others following him.
When they arrived at the Kyptarium prison, they were let inside by some guards who were inside of the watchtowers. The gates opened and two guards led them towards the Commissioner's office.
Nya gave the others a weird look before opening her mouth. "Where are we going?"
"The Commissioner wants to talk to you." One of the guards said in a monotone voice, not even facing her.
"What about the riot?" Cole asked. The guard, however, changed the subject.
"We are here. Please go inside and wait for him to come." They were standing outside of the office. The guard in brown opened the door and waited until all of the six ninja walked inside, and then closed the door.
A little click-ish sound was audible. "Did he just-" Kai asked when his question was answered by Nya who walked up to the door.
"Yeah, it's locked." She tried to open the door, but it was no use whatsoever.
"Why would he lock us in?!" Jay started to freak out because of all of the thoughts in his head.
Lloyd took off his hood. "This is weird. Something's wrong, I can feel it."
"Well, what do we do?" Cole asked the others.
"I say we break down the door, I hate being locked in. Especially with no apparent reason." Kai was walking towards the door while cracking his knuckles, when Zane grabbed his shoulder and held him back.
"Don't. We cannot just destroy the door." He turned to the crowd. "I say we wait until the Commissioner comes."
"This is just too sketchy..." Cole put his hand on his chin and started rubbing it, looking down at the ground to think.
Then, the big monitor in the room flashed on. What the Ninja saw was quite a shock. They saw a man, the Commissioner, tied up to a chair. His hands and legs were fixated on it with little ropes and his mouth had a silver, thick tape on it. He tried to wriggle out, but failed.
"Commissioner!" Lloyd was the first one to speak up when he saw who the man was.
The Commissioner mumbled something, but the Ninja couldn't understand it.
"Hello, Ninja! How long has it been?" A woman stepped in front of the camera. Her voice was as squeaky as the last time the Ninja had faced her.
"Ultra Violet!" Kai sounded angry and annoyed at the same time.
"Ugh, go ahead." Cole stated while sitting down on the couch next to him. The others knew what he was talking about.
"What?" Ultra Violet was confused.
"Your plan." Kai said after joining Cole on the couch.
"How did you-"
"Oh please, we've faced so many villains before, we know how it goes." Lloyd yawned.
"Oh, uhhh... fine, I'll go ahead then, I guess." She was perplexed. Then she turned her confused voice into an evil one. "You are probably wondering why I've gathered y'all here." Ultra Violet was standing next to the Commissioner who just gave her annoyed looks.
"Spill the beans, girl. We don't have all day!" Nya was also angry and annoyed. She was leaning against the door with her arms crossed.
Ultra Violent's amusement seemed to fade away. "Alright, fine!" She stomped her foot on the ground. "Listen, put your weapons on the floor and walk into the cage!" She shouted a little.
The Ninja looked confused at each other. "What cage?" Jay spoke up.
Then they all turned around when they heard a sound coming from behind them. They saw the wall open like a door and a cage right behind it. It was a vengestonge cage, obviously. After seeing it, they turned back to the monitor.
"And why exactly should we?" Lloyd asked with his arms crossed while squinting his eyes.
"I mean... you don't have to. I just thought y'all appreciated your Water Ninja." Ultra Violet tried to have her voice sound innocently evil.
Jay stood up, his voice becoming more serious. "What do you mean?"
The Ninja looked around when they saw and heard some parts of the walls disappear, and small little container-ish boxes appear fixated in those spaces.
"What is going on?" Kai asked in an even more serious tone.
"You know... a little bird told me that-" Ultra Violet began when she interrupted herself as she realized that Ronin missed his cue. She pulled him into vision and continued. "A little bird told me that someone had a specific allergy..." Her voice became more evil with every word she let out.
When Nya heard the word 'allergy', her inner self became scared. She stood up straight and unfolded her arms, and her face went from an annoyed one into a slightly scared one.
The others though, felt their anger taking over their bodies, especially Jay and Kai.
"Don't. You. Dare." Jay let out through gritted teeth. He was usually the jokester of the team, always ready to crack a joke and make the people laugh and made situations seem better than they were, but when it came to his love, he had never hesitated to protect her, no matter what or how much damage he could possibly cause.
"It's cage or one Ninja less to protect Ninjago." Ultra Violet responded in a sing-song voice.
"It's cute how you think that your threats could make us obey-" Nya tried to stay calm and play the role of the strong one, but she suddenly heard some dropping noises next to her.
She could see the boys dropping their weapons on the ground while looking at her in fear, neither of them were ready to risk her life. "What are you doing?!" Nya asked them.
"Nya, there's no way I'm taking that risk!" Jay responded. She could clearly see his worries by just looking at his face. It made her heart melt.
However, Nya didn't want the team to just give up like that, only because of her stupid allergies. "Guys, I'm gonna be-"
"No Nya, Jay's right. We will not risk your life." Cole said. Although he didn't like her as much as he did a while ago, he still cared about her and her well-being.
"But I-"
"Nya, please. Do you really wanna relive all the pain you once had to go through?" Kai walked up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
Nya couldn't take a look at her brother's face. She turned her head to the side and looked at the floor. She was thinking about what he had just said. When she was about seven years old, she tried to put on perfume for the first time in her life. Since her allergy hadn't been discovered back then, she just sprayed the whole bottle on her neck, hoping to smell well. But instead, she had an allergy attack. She started to breathe heavily, couldn't stand upright anymore and her whole skin turned pale with little dots forming on her arms and around her mouth. She was quickly brought to the hospital and was then diagnosed with her perfume allergy. Both Kai and herself were quite in shock. Ever since that day, perfume was the number one thing they both avoided.
She snapped back into reality, watching the others walk into the cage willingly. She fought back her tears. "I'm sorry." She said while looking at the ground, watching all of their weapons laying there.
Kai wanted to open his mouth, but he saw Jay being faster. "Hey, don't be sorry. It's not your fault, you never chose to have it." He said in a very sympathetic voice. Jay looked at Kai, both nodded, and Kai let go of his sister and let Jay comfort her. Kai then walked into the cage, leaving Jay and Nya out there. He heard him mumbling something into her ear, then she hugged him tightly.
Suddenly, they could hear the door clicking again. Jay put himself in front of Nya and slightly held his arm on her waist, the other one being in front of himself. He felt his powers buzzing under his skin. He was ready.
As Nya wanted to pick up her spear, she could her a "Nuh-uh." from Ultra Violet.
Then the door slowly opened, revealing a very large person, Killow. He had a large grin on his face and held something in his hands. It wasn't recognizable at first, but as he walked inside the room, it was clear it was vengestone chains.
"Into the cage!" Killow slowly said, his grin still being there.
Just as Jay and Nya were about to walk towards the cage, Ultra Violet spoke up. "On second thought... I want to have a special rendezvous with our lovebirds." She said smiling evilly.
Jay and Nya looked at each other in confusion and just stood there in their tracks. Then their gazes went over to the door again. They saw two men, the men who let them in earlier, walk into the room with swords in their hands. They then found their place behind Killow.
"What are you waiting for?!" Killow screamed at the men, causing them to freak out and rush over to the two Ninja.
When Jay saw them walking up to them, his hold on Nya got even tighter. He was ready to strike if they only dared to touch her. They both walked back a few steps until they were against the wall. Jay quickly took a glance at Killow who was currently in front of the cage and locking it. Then he saw him walking up to him and her.
"Alright, if you two DUMMIES are incapable of a very simple task, we'll think about a funny punishment." Killow snapped at the guards who shook in fear. Then he turned back to the two Ninja he was currently in front of. "Now to you two..." He held out two hand and feet shackles and waved them in their faces. "Put these on!"
"We will never-" Nya spoke up, but was quickly interrupted by Ultra Violet who was watching everything in amusement on the monitor.
"If I were you, I would do whatever he says. I certainly wouldn't want to go into shock, y'know." She suggested.
Nya then turned to Jay who took the shackles. "Jay, don't." She whispered to him, but he kept going.
After he put some vengestone shackles on his ankles, he stood up and faced her. "Nya, you know my answer. I would never want anything to harm you." He smiled as he turned back to the shackles and tried to put them on his wrists.
She thought for a moment, thinking about how cute that just was. "Jay, I-"
"Nya, please." He interrupted her, thinking she'd still want to convince him not to do it.
"I wasn't gonna say that." She said while looking at him with a smile. He turned towards her and by the way he looked at her, he wanted to know what she meant.
"You're amazing, you know that?" She would have loved to keep talking about him, telling him everything she loved about him, but she couldn't because of their current situation and because of her mental block.
It was often a thing that Nya wasn't able to express her emotions. She tried it a lot, but the words she thought of would never leave her mouth. Every single time that happened, Nya was frustrated.
Jay returned her smile, but it was way bigger. It was a great feeling to hear her saying that about him.
"Uhhh, could you please stop and hurry up now?!" They were distracted by Ultra Violet who apparently grew tired of the couple's actions. Maybe she was just jealous, who knows?
Nya sighed heavily while taking the shackles. "Guys, I know we have a reputation and all, but can we PLEASE take revenge on Ronin for causing this? I'm getting tired of him!" She stated while trying to put on her shackles, which took less time than Jay did.
"I'd love to." Kai said through gritted teeth. He was holding onto the cage's bars and watching everything alongside Lloyd, Zane and Cole.
After Nya finished, they all looked at Ultra Violet who began to talk. "Great, now that everyone is wearing their accessories, let's get this party started!" She said cheerily.
Jay and Nya gave each other one last glance, when suddenly the room was being filled with a scent coming out of every single one of the containers on the walls.
Welp, looks like there's gonna be a part two🤌🏻
