Chapter 5 New tricks

Now it was Monday and the two cousins had practiced as much as they could with their powers. However they unfortunately couldn't do that much as they had to help out with deliveries for the bakery. This was because that day was incredibly busy after getting that wedding cake order, which needed to be done in another two days.

"Phew, you know I wish some people would order their cake for their weddings a bit earlier than a few days," Natlie said as she and Martha sat down in history class.

"Me too, but hey I've been dealing with this for a while so I'm used to it," Martha explained.

"I have no idea how you can do it, but I'm glad that you helped me with delivering orders," Natalie said.

"Anytime cous, you're still new here and don't know your way around like I do, so it's only natural that I help out," Martha explained.

Natalie smiled, she then heard the creek of the door opening and when she looked she saw that their history teacher had just entered the classroom. He walked up to the black board and wrote down a guest's name on the black board before turning to the class.

"Good morning class I hope you all had a nice and relaxing weekend, as it wouldn't be good if you didn't. Being relaxed and calm can help with your public, personal and professional life so keep that in mind. Now we're going to be going over the history of some old artifacts from the past. I've even had a guest who works in the local museum. May I present Miss, Candess," Mr Hernderson introduced and stepped aside for the lady.

A woman with blond hair, and explorer's attire entered the room, she had on her back that looked to be pretty heavy. Another woman came in after the blond woman; she also wore explorer's attire, but had black hair instead.

"Hello children! I'm Candess, and this is my faithful and loyal assistant Amy!" Candess exclaimed, introducing her assistant who nervously waved to the class.

"Now Mr. Henderson here has asked me to tell you all about the history regarding the many places I've explored with Amy. So I hope you all are excited to see some pictures and learn about the places we've seen together," Candess explained, trying to make the class excited. Some students started whispering to their neighbors while others seemed pretty interested in what was going on.

"Wow, this sounds kinda exciting," Natalie whispered to Martha.

"Yeah Mr. Henderson always tries his best to make history class exciting. And once a month he's allowed to invite a guest over to help out with the lesson and make things even more interesting," Martha explained.

"Why not every week?" Natalie asked as she believed this would be more interesting if it happened more often.

"Na that's not in the school's budget," Martha answered.

After hearing that Natalie nodded as she realized why it wasn't more often. She was a little disappointed about that as she would've loved to have this be so often rather than just being once a month. Candess then started the lesson by using a projector to show the class pictures of her recent expedition. The whole class was impressed and intrigued about this as the photos looked amazing and even dangerous. There was even one with her and Amy being chased down by alligators which looked scary.

"Hehe that alligator incident was quite the banger; however it was worth it with what we had brought back. Hey Amy, could you bring it back from the truck?" Candess asked.

"Huh? O-Oh sure." Amy replied a bit timidly before walking off. She walked out of the classroom and outside of the school to the truck. Once at the truck she popped open the back and pulled out a large pot that was also very heavy. After pulling it all the way out she placed it on the ground and closed up the trunk. She then bent down and picked up the heavy pot, making sure not to drop it as it was old and very fragile. Due to what both she and Candess had gone through to get it she didn't want it to break as to her it would make all their hard work a total waste.

However as she was bringing it in she suddenly felt someone's leg in front of her own which caused her to trip. Amy closed her eyes in panic as the pot flew out of her arms when she fell over. A loud smash was heard and when Amy recovered from the impact her face had made with the floor she looked and was horrified by what she saw. Just a few feet in front of her was the pot she and Candess had gotten that was now laid on the ground in nothing but shards. She then felt the same person's heeled shoe on her back before the person.

"Ugh! HEY WHERE ARE YOUR MANNERS!" Amy screamed angrily at the person who tripped then stepped on her.

The person turned around and Amy's eyes widened in shock when she saw who it was. The lady wore an expressive dress, sunglasses, way too much makeup, an expansive fur coat, an equally expensive necklace, and purse.

"Oh hey Amy, it's been a while hasn't it? But I knew it was you from the amount of dust in the school and how willing you were to be my door mat as always," the lady said in a mocking tone.

"A-Alice! What are you doing here, in the school!" Amy asked in a demanding tone.

"Oh my daughter forgot her phone at the house so I came by to drop it off. However I wasn't expecting to see a dust bunny like you here. I thought this school had class and taste, not keeping worthless relics like you in here," Alice said in a snarky voice while checking her nails.

"PARDON ME! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT I'M WORTH MORE THAN YOU THINK!" Amy screamed angrily.

"Yeah right, say's the girl who brought in a pot that could've been made in a pottery shop, honestly you haven't changed at all. Still believe that old items like that pot are worth your time and energy. Now if you'll excuse me I have a nail appointment and I have no interest in spending another second with peasants like you," Alice said before she made her way to the school exit.

Amy stood there clutching her fists in anger by what Alice had said; however, the anger soon turned to sorrow as she got down on her knees while looking at the now broken pot. Tears started wallowing up in her eyes as she looked at the now destroyed pot that she and Candess had worked so hard to get. She then began to cry as she didnt know how she was going to explain this to Candess.

Meanwhile in a dark limbo place Judas sensed a human's negative emotions emitting strongly. He looked through the window that allowed him to see earth and used it to find the human in question. He soon found Amy, who was still sitting there crying her eyes out after what had happened.

"Aww the smell of sorrow, and the anger to an individual, this is what I need for my corruption," Judas said before putting his hand out. A black substance dropped down from his hand and went through the mirror to earth. "Go through my creation and corrupt her heart," Judas commanded the creature.

The black blobby thing then dripped down right behind Amy and slithered right up to her. It then leapt onto her explorer's hat merging into it and turning it black. Amy then stopped crying and her head shot up as her eyes turned black.

"Stone Queen, I'm Judas. I'm giving you the power to turn anyone into any type of stone allowing you to control them as your servants. All I ask of you in return is for the Colored Ninja Charms, do we have a deal?" Judas asked Amy through his creature.

"Hehe, No stone will be left unturned, I shall make all those who mocked me face my true power!" Stone Queen declared as a black haze surrounded her body.

Meanwhile outside Alice was about to be let into her expensive car by her driver when suddenly a rocky-like blast slammed right into the driver. When Alice saw that she froze in horror as she saw her driver turn from a human being to stone in seconds.

"Hehe well doesn't he look so much better? However I feel like I should also make you look better as all that flash isn't a good look for you," Alice heard a voice say.

She looked over and saw a woman completely made of stone. Her eyes were glowing yellow, her clothes were made of igneous rocks, with emeralds on the jacket, diamonds on the center of the shirt, and sapphires decorating the pants. On her head was a crown with jaspers decorating the top, and peridots decorating the bottom of the crown.

"W-What on earth?! Who are you?!" Alice stuttered in fear.

"Oh I'm Stone Queen, but you knew me as Amy," Stone Queen explained.

"W-What on earth?!" Alice exclaimed.

"Yes! You've always called me worthless like a rock back in school, but I'm going to show you the true value that stones hold!" Stone Queen declared. She then aimed at Alice and before she could move Stone Queen fired a blast at her and she was turned into coal rocks.

"Ah, just as I expected. You're as dirty as coal so I'm not surprised you turned into that. Now my servants let go and show everyone the value I hold!" Amy declared as she and her two new servants went into the school.

Meanwhile Candesse and the other students were wondering what was taking Amy so long. Candesse knew that the pot was heavy but Amy should've been back by now. "Kids, you all stay here and wait for me. I'll be right back, I just need to see if Amy is doing alright," Candess explained before leaving the classroom.

"Um, hey Martha, you think Amy's alright?" Natalie asked.

"Not sure, but we'll see if she is alright, maybe she just got a little lost. It's natural when you're new to the school," Martha explained.

"Yeah I guess that would've been the case for me if you hadn't shown me around the place," Natalie explained.

Martha nodded and the two cousins all sat there and waited for Candess and Amy to come back. However as they were waiting a sudden beep was heard on the school's mic and the principal made an announcement. "Students! An intruder has entered the school! Teachers are recommended to follow evacuation protocol and lead all students to the nearby exits," the Principal explained calmly.

"Oh! Alright class, get in a line and I'll lead you all outside as protocol," Mr Henderson explained and the students all listened to him.

Natalie and Martha however had a feeling that this was no ordinary intruder and decided to find a way to sneak away from the class. As the students made their way in the halls Martha and Natalie were whispering to each other about what they could do to sneak away. They also made sure that no one else could hear them as they didn't want anyone hearing what they were saying.

"Martha, do you have any tricks to sneak off?" Natalie asked.

"Not really, I've never had a reason to sneak away during school evacuation, especially when there's an intruder in the school," Martha explained.

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" the two girls heard a boy ask. They looked behind them and were surprised to see Daniel behind them with a cute little smile on his face.

"Um, we were um.." Natalie was trying to explain but Martha cut in before she could.

"I left my phone in class and didn't realize it till now. So we're trying to find a way to retrieve it so I can inform my dad I'm alright!" Martha explained.

"Oh really? Well I got an idea that'll have all the teachers' attention on me!" Daniel explained.

"Really what's that?" Natalie asked.

Daniel then pulled out a brown paper bag and showed the two of them what was inside. The bag contained some green jelly-like stuff that had some little items in it.

"What's this?" Natalie asked, confused.

"It's fake vomit, I was planning on using this to prank my mom later for fun, but considering that you need help I'll use it now," Daniel explained.

Natalie and Martha nodded and allowed him to pull the stunt. Daniel smiled and began to fake gagging which indeed got the attention of the teachers and other students. He then made it look like he puked by dumping the contents of the bag on the floor, and collapsing on the ground after, thus having most teachers run up to him while others focused on cleaning up the mess. While this was all going down Natalie and Martha ran away from the other students to make their way back to the classroom.

However before Natalie turned the corner she turned back to Daniel who was now pretending to get up from a daze and looked at her. She then blew a kiss at him before running behind the corner, which caused Daniel to blush and faint for real this time. The two cousins soon arrived at the class room and once inside Martha closed and locked the door before facing Natalie.

"Alright cous, ready to transform and find this intruder?" Martha asked.

"Yeah let's go! Purple Ninja! It's time to Purify!" Natalie called out. Martha then called out "Yellow Ninja! Let's shed some Light!" Martha called out and the two transformed into their colored Ninja persona's.

Once the transformation was complete the two threw smoke bombs to the ground and excited the classroom. This made it look like they had entered the school through the classroom in case anyone was around.

"Alright Yellow, let's take care of this intruder." Purple declared and Yellow Nodded.

The two then sprinted to the center of the school as their first place to search for the intruder and stop them from hurting anyone. Thankfully they had made a good decision with that one as when they arrived at the school's center they saw Stone Queen and some other teachers and adults turned into a different kind of rock.

"Wow, okay well it looks like Judas had decided to strike again," Yellow said.

"Yeah, now let's stop her before she harms anyone else," Purple stated. Yellow nodded and the two jumped right in front of Stone queen, which had slightly caught her off guard but she composed herself quickly.

"Well, well, well, it looks like the Purple, and Yellow Ninja's decided to show up. My master told me that you two would eventually, so it's great to see the two of you," Stone Queen greeted with a sinister smile on her face.

"Cut the crap! Who are you and who are the stone faces around here!?" Yellow questioned in a demanding tone.

"Oh them? They are my humble servants, and I'm Stone Queen. And I'm afraid I'll have to take your charms as my master requested in exchange for my powers," Stone Queen said with the same smile on her face.

"Oh is that so? Well Stone Queen we hate to say this, but we're not going to allow you to harm anyone else or even take our Charms!" Purple exclaimed.

"Well if that's the case, MINIONS! CAPTURE THEM FOR YOUR QUEEN!" Stone Queen commanded and her rock minions complied with the command.

They all started charging right at Purple and Yellow, but thankfully the two were prepared for a fight. When one of the stone minions had tried to attack Purple she leaped up in the air and landed right behind them. She then grabbed onto their legs and flipped them over. Another one tried to attack her from behind, so she responded by back kicking it in the stomach and then throwing its buddy at it.

Yellow meanwhile dogged the punches and grabs that one was trying to make at her and she soon felt like there was another one behind her about to hit her. She smirked at this and when the two were about to punch her she ducked down which resulted in the two hitting each other in the face. She then kicked the two of them while they were still dazed, which resulted in them being knocked to the ground. Yellow then got up and smiled down at her work; however, she then looked in front of herself and saw about three more running at her.

Yellow then reached into her suit and pulled out some yellow balls. She threw them to the ground which caused them to explode into a mist and coat the ground with a substance that made it clean and shiny. When the stone minions walked on it they all started slipping as the ground was so clean that it was slippery. The stone minions soon fell to the ground and Yellow smiled at this with pride. She then looked over to Purple who was looking back at her and gave her a thumbs up. However, Yellow noticed that three statue minions were charging at Purple.

"Purple! Look out!" Yellow warned and Purple looked back to see the minions.

Instinctively Purple reached into her suit and threw some purple balls on the ground. The stone minions ended up stepping on them and when they did the balls exploded into a purple paste that stopped them in their tracks. The two Ninjas then looked around and thankfully saw that there wasn't anymore so they faced Stone Queen.

"Hmm so you two defeated my minions? I'm impressed, but that won't save you two from me!" Stone Queen declared and shot out a blast from her hand.

The two Ninjas jumped out of the way and ran around looking for an opening to strike. Purple looked at Stone Queen's crown and noticed that it was black. This gave her the feeling that it must be the source of the corruption so she had a plan to purify it. She signaled to Yellow, using hand gestures to explain her plan of attack. After explaining the plan Yellow nodded and went for it. She threw one of her ninja stars and Stone Queen, which was deflected by her stone body, but it did catch her attention.

Stone Queen looked over to Yellow who immediately called out, "Blinding Light!" A bright light shot out of Yellow's hands and slammed right into Stone Queen's face which blinded her.

Stone Queen covered her eye's and howled in pain as she staggered back. Purple sprinted behind her and took aim at her crown, she called out, "Purify Bloom!" A purple blast shot out of her hand; thankfully her aim was right on target as it hit the crown.

The crown was instantly covered in a purple haze, which soon turned into purple flowers that withered away and turned the crown back into a regular explorer's hat. A black haze then surrounded Stone Queen and she was restored back into Amy, who was dazed from the incident.

"Ugh, W-What happened?" Amy asked as she looked at her surroundings.

Yellow leaped up to Purple and the two Ninja's fist bumped each other. The people who were turned into stone and rocks were also surrounded by a black haze and returned back to their normal selves. Some groaned in pain from headaches they had woken up with and were confused as to how they got there in the first place.

"W-What happened? How did I get here? The Pot! OH NO! H-How am I going to explain that to Candess?!" Amy asked in a panic as her memories before corruption came back.

"Explain what?" Amy heard Candess ask. She looked over and saw Candess sitting not too far away from her, as she was also turned into one of those stone minions.

"I-I'm sorry! I was tripped, and the pot was smashed when I fell! I'm sorry, Candess!" Amy explained while looking down in shame. Candess was shocked but she wasn't angry at Amy as she had known her for long enough to know she'd never do anything like that on purpose.

"What happened that caused you to trip?" Candess asked.

Amy told her what she could remember; Candess felt angry about what had happened to her friend and the pot. Yellow and Purple heard it all as they were in ear shot. Yellow then got an idea how to fix the pot, but knew that they had to act fast otherwise they'd transform back.

"Hey! I think that Purple and I can fix up the pot!" Yellow called out.

"W-Wait what?! We can?!" Purple asked confused but then noticed the hopeful looks on Amy and Candess's faces.

"Um sure yeah we can fix it! Just show us how it looks," Yellow said.

Amy looked around and was surprised to see its shards sitting on the floor not too far away from her. Purple and Yellow assumed that she had some of her stone minions move it there when she was corrupted.

"Alright let's get to it!" Yellow exclaimed and grabbed onto Purple's wrist and quickly took her over to the shards.

"Okay let's do this. Repeat after me Purple," Yellow said. Purple nodded and waited for Yellow's next move, she then put out her hands and purple did so as well.

"What was once broken let it be fixed again," Yellow said and Purple repeated. After saying that their hands started glowing their respective colors and the shards started floating.

"From shards to pots, repair them to what they were," Yellow and Purple said. The shards all then put each other back together and the pot was fully restored back to normal.

"Ah, there we go, back together again," Yellow said.

"Yeah, we hope you two like it," Purple said.

Candess and Amy both stared at the pot in amazement before they both thanked the two ninjas. "Thank you two so much!" Candess exclaimed.

"Yeah you two have no idea what we went through to get this!" Amy exclaimed happily.

"We bet. We'd also love to talk more but we gotta go now! Come on Yellow lets go!" Purple explained, while passively reminding Yellow about their time limit.

"Oh yeah! We'll see you two around!" Yellow exclaimed as the two ninjas smoke bombed their way out of there.

Ten minutes later Martha and Natalie were heading back to their class before the teachers noticed that they were gone. As they were walking Natalie wondered how Martha knew that spell that repaired the pot.

"Hey Martha, I wanted to ask but how did you know that spell?" Natalie asked.

"Well back at the temple during our field trip last week, I remembered reading it in an old book that was in the temple. I even tried it out on a vase I had accidentally broken and it works when I'm Yellow Ninja," Martha explained.

"Really? I wonder if that book has anything else in it regarding spells?" Natalie asked.

"Wanna see this weekend?" Martha asked in a sly tone while jingling her car keys.

"Sure! And maybe that Eri lady will give us more info regarding the charms and everything else that's going on," Natalie said, hoping that it was true and Eri could answer the questions they have.
