"Go reading, go!"
As the boys finish their filming I cringe to myself, hiding my face. Darreth thought it was a great idea to make a kids show to teach kids the basics of life, while also getting a bunch of money.

"Cut! That was perfect. Girlie, are you sure you don't want to be in it?" He slung an arm around me. I pushed it off. "I'm good."

I watched as Nya walks in, her suit all cleaned.
"That's a wrap," Darreth announces, the workers putting the things away.

"What? I just got here," Nya says, walking to my side. Darreth notices Nya after he congratulated the boys. "Hey, sweetheart. Mind sticking around to teach girls how to apply makeup?"

Nya's face screws up as she stomps towards him. I scoff at his words, disgusted. "You're going to need makeup when I rearrange your face," Nya shouts, Jay and Kai holding her back.

Incase I do the same, Lloyd and Cole by my side. "Darreth, Nya is one of us now. She shouldn't be treated differently."

"Y/n, you guys added another girl to the group," he says like it's no big deal.
"I'm a girl, there was no problem with that!"

I step back, rubbing my face. Darreth lays his hand on my shoulder. I tense up.
"Girlie, do you know how much that hurts our image. They'll be tons of more scandals. We already have one with Jay, Cole, and Nya."

Lloyd steps forward, Darreth's hand sliding off me.
"We're equal. Our powers comes from no one being more important than the other."

Lloyd has strain in his voice as he talked, obviously holding himself back. Darreth rolled his eyes. "I don't tell you how to do your business, so don't tell me how to do mine."

He pushes the boys and I away from Nya, holding up a magazine. Cole grabs it. "Why does it still say Jay and I are fighting over Nya? That's old news."
Lloyd looks over my shoulder.
"Sensei Lloyd? But I'm only a Sensei in training."

"Who cares if it's fake, you're the hottest thing in Ninjago!"

Finally, back on the Bounty, I can relax. All the fans going after us all day is exhausting. As I lean back in my chair, my ninja outfit still on, I get sprayed by a stream of water.

I sputter and cough, wiping the water away. My mother walks up and hands me a towel, beckoning me to follow her.

We walk down the stairs, seeing Nya surrounded by water-logged fighting robots. "Bad day," My mother asks.

Nya turns to us. I begin to put the robots back together. "You're supposed to hit them, not destroy them."

Nya gives a weak smile. "I'm a girl, but I'm also a lot of other things. But that doesn't matter when everyone sees me as one thing. The problem ninja."

"Nya, I get it, you want a fair shot. Trust me I've had to work for it," I hand her a towel and help clean the floor of water. "Everyone was fine with a purple ninja until they found out I was a girl, then it was chaos. They'll get over it, just show them how good you are."

My mother jumps up, putting the head of a robot back in place. "You can't just want people to accept you, you have to work for it. The harder things are, the more you excel."

I step back from the floor, walking over to Jay, who's looking at Nya. "What are you looking at," she growls to Jay.

He turns back around. "Even though it's fate, I still can't win." He moves his chess-piece.

Zane moves his. "Checkmate. Again."
Jay groans, pushing the chess board away to face plant into the table. "What's the tally?"

"A hundred and one, to zero."
I snort out loud, catching the attention of Cole.

He smiles, disappearing then reappearing.
My jaw drops as I run over to him. "That was so cool!"
"I know right," he giggles. I scrunch my nose up as Lloyd runs to us. "Sensei's back, and there's trouble."

———————————

"What is it, Sensei?" I ask, running to his side. Kai slicks his hair back. "Did they run out of Kai action figures? Ugh, I knew there wasn't enough."

I roll my eyes. The fame is getting to him. Sensei sighs, turning to us.
"No. It appears when you destroyed the Cursed Realms, one ghost escaped."

The screen shows a videos of Clouse stealing money. "Clouse. He recently bought a train ticket that will arrive in Stiix in just a few hours."

Cole rubs his chin. "What would he want with Stiix? It's just a salvage yard now."
Sensei looks at us. "That's why I want you to go there and stop whatever he his planning to do."

Kai steps forwards, holding his hand out. "But Darreth wanted us to visit the hospitals for that Grant-A-Wish thing."

Sensei glares at the sound of that, both Lloyd and I cutting in.
"Calm down, hothead," I sat, pushing him away. "We take orders from Sensei Wu, not Darreth," Lloyd adds.

"Lil' Nelson only has a broken leg. If he wants to be a ninja one day, it'll have to be tomorrow."
"Suit up."

———————————

We fly over Ninjago on our elemental dragons.
"Just over Ninjago City, isn't that where Lil' Nelson is," Kai asks. "What do you say, drop by for a quick stop?"

I roll my eyes, flying next to Nya. "Kai, we don't have time," Lloyd warns.
"Technically, we do. As long as we don't encounter any problems," Zane says, not helping.

"What does Sensei always say," Cole asks. I give him a warning glare, fixing my hood. "Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today," he quotes.

"Yeah, like saving Ninjago," I hiss, following the others to the hospital.

—————————————

"We dub you as Honorary Ninja for the day," Lloyd says, both him and I signing his cast. The other kids in the room cheer for him. Nya hands him a purple bandana to match his purple outfits.

I found it cute he wanted to be the purple ninja. "Purple ninja, could you stay to sign the other's casts?"

I frown, Nya stepping forward. "Wish we could, but duty calls." Cole brings me over to the window, pointing down.

I gasp at the amount of fans waiting for us at the entrance of the hospital. "Uh, not sure how far we'll get," Cole says. "We've got company."

Jay pull Cole back from the window, myself moving to the other side. Nya quickly smashes Kai's phone after he alerted that we're here.
"Why did you do that?"
"People know we're here now!"

"If you recall, I said we would get to Stiix in time minus any problems." Zane jumps back from the window, the screaming reaching the room. "This constitutes a major problem."

Helicopters surround the hospital in attempt to see us. "We can't use dragons, we don't want them to follow us."

"Well, how do we get out?"
"You say I'm a ninja for today?" We all turn to Lil' Nelson. He tried to come up with a name. I take my hood off, sliding over his head. "We'll call you the purple ninja."

We follow his lead out of the room, himself going surprisingly fast. Nya runs alongside him, me behind her. "That suit looks legit, did you make it yourself," she asks.

"You have a lot of time of your hands when you break both your legs," he replied. I wince, pushing along his wheelchair when needed.

A crowd of fan girls stop out way, Nelson turning to the side. He busts open a door to the stairway. "This is as far as I can go, take the backstreets."

Lloyd and I turn to him. "Purple ninja, thank you."
"No, thank you. You made my wish come true."
He begins to take the hood off. I stop run, rubbing his head. "Keep it, it suits you."

We get to the top of the rooftop, having troubles find out our way from there. "So we can use Airjitzu, but we need to find a way out of here."

"But we need to stick together and get to Stiix," Jay says, wrapping his arms around Zane and Nya. She sends me a look, getting away from his grip.
"Thanks, but I can stick up for myself."

"He was only trying to be nice," Cole shrugs, trying to grab my hand

"It's okay, right now we're just having our first fight."
Nya turns around, fury in her eyes.
"What do you mean 'right now'? And just what are you implying by 'we'?"

"Hurry, they're coming." We use Airjitzu to get to a higher place, leaving Nya behind.
"Nya, hide," I call.

She turns around. "Grab my hand," Jay groans.
"No. What did you mean by 'we'? I'm nobody's girl!"
I collapse onto my knees, the sounds on helicopters getting closer.

"Nya, hurry up!"
She stands her ground.
The helicopters fly over us.
"Too late. So much for stopping Clouse."

"Now what do we do," Cole asks, hiding his face from the bright light as one comes close to us.
"Keep doing what you're doing." It's Darreth. "But don't hide away from the cameras."

"We need to get to Stiix to stop Clouse," Lloyd says. Darreth holds his hand out. "Hop in!"

————————————

I slide on a pair of sunglasses, slipping on a purple tank top. "He's not here," Zane says.
"He could be long gone by now," Cole says, everyone appearing in a disguise.

"But look what I found, a Kai action figure," Kai cheers, holding it up. I look over his shoulder, immediately covering my mouth. Dozens of them lay on the trash pile, soaking wet. He doesn't notice them.

"Hey, look, another one! What are they doing here?"
He then falls into a pile of them. "What?"
Lloyd steps sideways, talking to mom through this microphone.

"We should keep looking," he says, tilting his fedora. I laugh, looking at it. "I love that hat on you."
He rolls his eyes playfully, pushing my forehead with his finger. "Sure, sis."

We all go into an area with more people and sit at a table, unsuspectingly drinking from our cups.
"Still no sign of Clouse," Lloyd asks after taking another round of search.

"No, but it doesn't make sense. Wouldn't they remember seeing another ghost," I ask, taking my cup in my hands. Nya nods her head.

"Right, I haven't even gotten asked for an autograph." He says the next sentence louder. "Not that I want the attention!"

Nya shoves Kai. Jay and I share looks. I catch sight of the television talking about us. "Can you turn it up?"

"They're calling it the crime wave of the century."
That catches my attention. "Turn it up, now!"

"Earlier today, Lloyd Garmadon and his sister, Y/n Garmadon were caught on tape robbing the city bank."

It then shows a clip of people who look like us walking through the bank with loads of money. "Hey, that's not us!"

It then shows different footages of us being bad.
"Someone's pretending to be us!"
"But why?"
"And how?"

One man catching me starting intently at the tv and speaks. "You believe them? They destroyed our village, and act like they saved the place. Then they go around doing as they please."

Nya comforts Jay as his parents are shown.
"Yeah, you're right. Ninja, ugh, I hate them," Kai says sarcastically.

"They are armed and dangerous. If you see them, cal law enforcement."
I hear a phone being dialed and turn to Zane.
"Hello, law enforcement?"

"Zane, Stop," Lloyd shouts.
"I am programmed to obey the law. Not telling them our location would be a direct violation."
"Zane," I warn through teeth, the people around us getting suspicious.

"Hey, are you-"
"Nope, of course not."
"Yeah, were that other group with...a nindroid...a ghost...two girls... run!"

We all back up as they get closer.
"Hey, seven on seven at least it's fair."
"We're not fighting them! Did you not see what was just on tv?!"
We start running.

We jump onto the roof, using parkour to travel. I grab Lloyd's hand and use Airjitzu to get to the other side of a building. "Sis, That wasn't needed."
I shrugged, Jay and Nya now hand-in-hand.
"I know, just fun I guess."

We jump back to the ground, getting surrounded. At the last minute, Kai and I get an idea. "Get under the floorboards."
Kai and I use Spinjitzu to create holes in the floor, jumping down into the shafts.

"Lloyd, tell mom."
He nods, using the communication mic.
I keep going,seeing a crane fall before us.
"Get on it!"

The crane pulls us up without anyone noticing, the Bounty coming into view.
"Yes, home sweet home!"

It suddenly get pulled down by police cars.
"Lower all the cranes."
I catch Lloyd's eye.
"We need to split up."
We all look at eachother, only thinking the worst before jumping away.
