I wake up as Cole shakes me. I get up and stretch. I brush my teeth as Zane wakes up with a gasp and bangs his head.
"Huh, sleeping in I see? You're going to be late for training," Jay says fixing his bed.

"Why didn't anyone wake me," Zane asks as I crack my neck. "We didn't think you wanted us to," Kai says, "you looked with you were having some dream."

Zane goes to ask if this is a dream but I chuck a pillow at him while Cole also hit him with one. Jay snorts as Zane give a sarcastic thanks. "Did that feel like a dream?"

I close the bathroom door and get changed, then walk out to where the boys are.

————————————

"I saw the green ninja fighting Lord Garmadon and (y/n) was there too," I hear Zane say as I join them for stretches. "What about the green ninja," I ask.

"I had a dream about the green ninja fighting Lord Garmadon and you were there," he repeats. "Wait, really?"
"Yes, it was as if you didn't know who's side to be on. It's like you knew both of them and didn't want to fight," I freeze at his words.

"So (Y/n) could know who the green ninja is," Jay asks to which Zane nods.

I start thinking, 'who could be the green ninja.'
"There has to be details to which one of us is the green ninja- ow, ow, ow, hey!"

Sensei grabs Kai's hair and pulls it to get his attention, "What is so important that you ignore my teaching."
"Uh, nothing. It was nothing, Sensei," Kai says.
"We don't talk while you teach," Cole says.
"We were listening to you, not talking," I add.
"We were all paying attention," Zane says.

Sensei shakes his head, "since you all appear to be lacking focus, then you all can share in the punishment."

We all groan, "What is the punishment," Cole asks unenthusiastically.

"No free time and no video games. The rest of the day can be used for training. And tomorrow, for that matter."

"What!"
"Training?!"
"For how long?"

"Until you can answer this simple riddle. What is the best way to defeat an enemy."

"Easy, with a sword," Kai says.
"Fists," Jay says.
"Spinjitzu," Cole says.
Tornado of Creation," Zane says.
"Becoming the enemy?"

My answer confuses everyone so I just shrug, "not far off," Sensei says making me smirk.
"Sharpen your mind, as well as your Spinjitzu."

We all get to training. Well, I get to training while the boys ask Zane about his dream.

———————————

The boys have spent the past few hours arguing who's the green ninja.

"So I'm the green ninja."
"What are you talking about? He had incredible strength to lift that cargo and save his life. It's me."
"No, no. Did you miss the part of the story where he pulled out nunchucks? I have nunchucks."
"I think you're all missing he point of this dream. The point is the falcon flew on his arm and it was my dream, so naturally it's me."

"Guys shut it," I say hoping off the equipment, "stop fighting about cause it could be anyone of you, and I know for a fact it's not me."

Sensei walks up behind the boys as they turn back around to argue, "since you are not training, you must have already found the answer to my riddle. What is the best way to defeat your enemy?"

"The best way is, to uh train, Sensei?"
"Feeble and incorrect. Maybe more training will help you focus."

They all groan before actually going to train. I stop Sensei before he walk away, "the best way to defeat an enemy, is to become friends with the enemy?"
Sensei looks as me for a while before closing the door. I sigh and get back to training.

———————————

"Anyone got an answer to Sensei's riddle," Cole asks while spinning his bo staff.
"What is the best way to defeat and enemy. It can't be that hard," Kai says hitting the punching back.
"Zane, you're smart. What is it," Jay asks flipping from story to story.
"I do not know, but I sense Sensei is going to keep us here if we don't work together and find an answer," Zane says as he practices his form.
"That bothers me, because while we're here working, that means the enemy is playing," Cole says slamming the staff on the ground causing it to shake.
"Yeah we need to find it out quick, because we can't give the enemy time to make plans," I say throwing orbs of dark matter around.

—————————————

"You know, I think I may know they answer," Cole says catching our attention.
"Really," Jay asks as we all come closer. "Yeah, teamwork," Cole says raising his hands.
"Let's go see," I say running to Sensei with the boys following.

We all peep inside his office, "oh," he says seeing us, "You must've found the answer to what is the best way to defeat an enemy?"

We all walk in, "we have Sensei. It's—on three guys. One, two...,"
"Teamwork," we all yell putting out hands in a circle.
"Is this what you all think," he asks to which we all say yes.
"Sadly, you're all wrong."

The boys groan and walk out while Sensei keeps me back, "if you know the answer why go with incorrect one," he asks.
"Cause I feel like they deserve a try," I sigh.
"They will learn," he pats me on the back sending me back to training.

"Become friends with the enemy," I say to myself, walking out.
I join the others just as the alarm goes off. We all rush to the bridge.
"Lloyd and the Serpentine have overtaken Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys," Nya explains to us.
"That place is cesspool for the crooked and misbehaved," Jay says angrily.
"We still have to help them," I say, "step on it."
Zane flips and hits the button causing the ship to start flying.

I pull my hood on and join the boys in the middle of the ship, "Ninja go."

——————————

"How are we going to get down? Our weapons don't work to make the vehicles right now, we can't do stealth," I sigh throwing my hands in the air.
"I have an idea but you may not like it," Jay says causing us to groan. He jumps on the hook connected to the ship urging us to get on.

I reluctantly get on as the others are hesitant. "Jay I don't know about this," Kai says, his voice shaking. "Just hold on tight!"

We all start screaming as the hook plummets taking us off our feet. We land on the roof and fall through every floor. I cough as the dusts clouds my vision.
"Okay, let agree to never to that again," Cole groans grabbing his scythe.
"Yeah, I agree," I say as we walk towards the students who are tied up.
Cole pulls back his weapons scaring the kids but then cuts the rope setting them free, they all run away.

He then goes to talk to the teachers before cutting them down, they also run away.
"Ninja go," we all say, taking separate ways up to the top floor. I flip over the desks and chairs, making my way through the broken roof.
I get cut off by the walkway collapsing, I run the other way but get caught in a rope that hangs me upside down.

I gasp as Pythor walks past me obviously happy I got caught. Just as Pythor gets out of sight Jay cuts me down. We run into Cole coughing on the ground, "he's got a Serpentine with him. Watch out for booby traps!"

Jay goes after Pythor while I stay to help Cole. He coughs more as I manage to get him up. We make our way up to the top where Lloyd is all alone. "Where's Pythor," I asks, "he disappeared," Jay answers.
Sensei and Nya hop onto the roof, "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, you come here right now."

Lloyd looks to me with a scared expression as Jay picks him up, "I got him."
"What should we do with him," Kai asks.
"I know exactly what we must do," Sensei says.

————————

The boys watch as Sensei reads Lloyd a book before putting him to bed. Once they leave I enter the room.

"Hey, little bro," I says rubbing his arm, "hey (y/n)," he says sadly, "why did you do that," I ask him.
"Dad would be proud," he says to which I shake my head sadly, "no he wouldn't, dad didn't choose to be corrupted by evil, you are choosing to be evil, and dad wouldn't want that for you," I say as he sits up, "really?"
I nod hugging him, "I'm sorry, I just thought," I cut him off, "I get it, it's alright, get some rest."

He turns over, "one more question?"
"Do they know you're Lord Garmadon's daughter," he says, "no and I hope to keep it that way please," I say softly as I leave the room, heading to the training area.

"No, Sensei we still don't know the best way to defeat your enemy is," Kai says as they all shrug their shoulders walking away.

Sensei looks to me and nods, "it it's to make them your friend," I say walking out. They sigh giving a smile before heading to bed as I follow them.
