Chapter 17

“From Wu..?” Kai said in disbelief.

“Sensei….” Nya muttered under her breath as she lowered her head in depressing matter.

Misako looked at the letter as Saké faced the ninjas again. Holding her own hand, smiling.  

“If you like I shall take the five of you on this mini mission to our island. Unfortunately I only have six tickets…” Saké frowned, glancing at Misako. “I'm terribly sorry…”

Misako shook her, looking at Saké.

“It's fine. But I want you five to be on guard, understood?” Misako said turning her attention to the group. “Just because have defeat them, doesn't mean they will be easy to beat again. You can't use the same tactics, they'll expect that.”

“She isn't wrong but you guys have gotten better. I'm sure you'll win.” Nya cheered, smiling.

The ninjas nodded in agreement. They can't lose, it's so long since they since the look alikes. But there was a slight chance. A possibility.

“Alright, let's go.” Nya said. She immediately waited for the responses from her group. They nodded a yes.

“Misako are you going to be ok? Like alone on the bounty without us here?” Jay asked the older female, with concern written across his face. The others looked at Misako with the same face.

“No, I'll be ok. I could invite Ray and Maya. Or one of your parents over if I need any company.” She responded. She gave a weak smile, waving off Jay's questions.

“But whose is going to help the police with protecting Ninjago and the missing case…” Cole blurted out. Regretting his words.

“I'm sure the police can do their best, and Misako can use this time to relax and maybe take over your job for a little.” Saké smiled, waving away the words of the earth ninja. She smiled before turning around grabbing Misako’s hands with her own, in an attempt to cheer up the other female.

“Don't not worry, I will bring them back for you and their family. I promise you, Misako.”

Misako looked confused at the kindness she was earning somehow from this mage. Who was working for Hidden. Shouldn't she try to fight them? But why isn't she? Was she ordered by Hidden or something like that? Misako’s head had many questions running through her mind. Shaking her head, in attempt to shake away the thoughts away.

“I shall we take our leave ?” Sake asked, looking at the ninjas with a smile.

*at the “abandoned” station*

The ninjas somewhat stood their distance from Saké, still unsure of they could really trust her. But Saké did not seem to mind the distance between her and The group of young adults. The ninjas kept looking around. Nya kept an eye on Saké, Cole and Jay watched the left and right. Kai had the back with Zane trying to act like nothing was wrong. The station seem off in many ways. It was worn down, looked unusable and unused for years. Not too mention the ninjas had to wear thick coats to stay warm, except for Zane since he hardly gets cold ever. But Saké didn't have a coat either, but she was wearing a mask on the side of her head.

“um… aren't you cold?” Cole asked, gesturing at her outfit. To looked at him with a straight face for a second before replacing it with a smile.

“Not really, I'm not really affected by weather nor temperature. But thank you for wondering about my well being, Rocky.” Saké laughed at her little nickname for Cole, grabbing Zane's attention.

“What happened to Bell out of curiosity? She wasn't in the cell when we left.” Zane asked, leaning over the edge of the platform. “Oh, She's right here,” Saké held up a globe to Zane. It's had a grey smokey look. “She's wanted in Hyeon-Ju, so I better take her to our island. But she will get a sentence for Ninjago.”

Zane gave a gentle smile, before uncomfortably turning away with Cole. The mage put the globe back in her cape. Silence fell into the area again. Saké returned her gaze to the tracks, watching for the train to come. Jay released a loud sigh, clearly whining about how long the train was taking.

“When is that train gonna being here? We been here for hours.” Blue Bell (aka Jay/best boi #2) complained.

“Jay, we been here for like 10 minutes.” Kai snapped at the blue boy.

Saké looked at her wrist for moment before landing her gaze on the ninjas. But she didn't have any type of watch on her wrist only some homemade bracelets.

“It will be here in.. 5 seconds to be exact.” Saké answered, grabbing her small bag.

Though this did quickly confused the group of five a train appeared just a few seconds later. It's seem normal for far away but once it became closer it looked alot older, like to the old fashion type. The five looked at Saké out of confusion as the train stopped for the six passengers to be. Once the train stopped completely, it didn't do anything for a moment.

The doors did suddenly open with a conductor standing there. His have it for some tickets. His stood straight up and tall, so close of touching the ceiling of the cart which looked semi-empty. His tan baggy short curly covered his eyes, most of his uniform covered his body. Cole looked confused, we don't have any- his thoughts stopped seeing the female mage pulled out a bundle of tickets.

“For the six us, to Hyeon-Ju please!” Sake smirked, handing the tickets to the conductor.

He nodded motioning for the group to follow him. Once Kai stepped into the cart, the doors slammed behind him. Creeping out him but he attempted to ignore it. The group followed the tall conductor to a booth with him remaining quiet. He opened the door for the group, waiting for all of them to pile into the booth. Once the door shut behind them silence fell down for awhile. Nya, Zane and Jay sitting on one side, on the other side Kai, Cole and Saké is sitting in the other three side.

“How long is it going to be when we get there?” Nya asked, looking at the booth.

“In an hour, feel free to wander around the train.” Answered taking out a book, beginning to read.

Nya got up and left the booth with Kai quickly following behind her. Jay looked out the window with Cole put headphones over his ears, leaving Zane with Saké. Seeing how the trip would take a while rebooting seemed like a good idea but it be rude to out of nowhere. It be helpful to get some more information…

“So… how long have you know Hidden?” Zane asked with Saké her nose in a book.

“Since his beginning, I believe but he probably isn't at Hyeon-Ju maybe in different island.” Saké answered like a AI without any emotion in her vouice.

I see so he isn't there but the villains will be? So who is watching them? Is he causing more chaos?

“His beginning? So you two are friends I believe.” Zane said, continue to ask questions of this mage.

“Well, I prefer the term partners, but we are some friendly to each other,” She said “But I believe he has a lover.”

The L word caught Jay's attention immediately.

“Wait. What? Are you serious??” Jay asked.

“Believe so but-”

“NYA!” Two male voices yelled, interrupting Saké. Zane got up and opened the door to see Ash and Kai soak in wet with Nya hiding behind Toxikita.

“Should I even ask?” Saké asked, suggesting at the four.

“Not really but we may need to keep an eye on Kai and Ash.” Jay replied for Zane.

“As well Toxi, and myself.” A male voice spoke behind Zane and Saké.

Turning around, a friendly familiar face appeared. Neuro. He was wearing “commoner” clothes like Ash. Thankfully commoner clothes make decent disguises for the ninjas, serpentines, elemental masters and so on. (By commoner clothes: like jackets and jeans or t-shirts/sweaters. Host club joke)  

“We got lost… and by we I mean Ash dragged me here with Toxi.” Neuro admittedly told the Ice ninja, getting a glare from Ash.

“Hey!”

*Skipping to when they arrived to Hyeon-Ju*

Finally arriving to Hyeon-Ju, Saké asked Jay wake up Cole while Zane made sure Nya didn't splash Ash and Kai. Though Zane has been keeping Kai away from Ash with Nya's help. Since the two obviously want to fight each other to prove who is more powerful. Toxi stayed with Neuro, who followed the mage who got them there. Surprisingly, the large group was able to have nice conversation with Saké. Holding back the masters from full on attacking her for working with Hidden. Jay pulled, failing mostly, Cole to the exit. With Saké leading the group off of the train, somewhat like a field trip with a class. Everyone looked around in amazement with the stop they were at. They sky was a mixture a baby blue and pink with some beautiful clouds in the sky. But looking at the town behind the train stop, they saw the people living here: a large variety. Ghosts, pirates, stone soldiers, droids, most Chen's followers and a few serpentines. There some people who seem unrecognizable, people who the group never met.

“So shall I show you guys around or take these four straight to the spot where you are fight the bizzaro ninjas?” Saké asked joyfully. Smiling at her group of fighters.

“Bizzaro ninjas?” Ash asked, confused of why the ninjas were there. Even though he was told about it three times now.

“Basically, the opposite of these main four, they have different names as well. But I need take all of you, I shouldn't leave you other four roaming.” Saké answered, thinking of how to keep the main four to the spot without dragging the other four there as well. They might help them win against Bizzaro. Saké thought thinking want Hidden said to her. “I want the four to be alone against the Bizzaro. With you watching them” As Saké tried thinking of how to keep the four masters safe in this town. Spotting a certain assassin of Hidden's.

“Moby, could you over here please?” Saké yelled out to the lilac hair female. Without a second passing by, Moby walked over to Saké ignoring the group she had.

“Yes, what can Moby do?” She asked Saké, looking at the ninjas with blank expression.

“Please show Nya and these elemental masters around of Hyeon-Ju. I need to escort these four against Bizzaros.” Saké answered, turning around look at the ninjas.

“Now shall I take you to the spot of the fighting?” Saké asked, pulling Jay along with the other three follow behind her.

Watching her friends with her caramel brown eyes, Nya watch them disappeared behind a corner. She sighed looking at Moby.

“You're kinda short for a servant-”

“Moby is not a Servant for Hidden. He is my sensei, you twit.” Moby snapped at Ash’s comment to her. Making the other three laughed nervously. Nya only joined in the laughter for a couple moments, looking around again.

It felt so weird seeing so many people she or her friends fought. Some in deserve a chance, others didn't in her opinion. But she did felt guilt glancing at the ghost soldiers, she didn't mean to destroy them all. After looking at the different types of people that were here, she noticed something. Well, someone to be exact. The male had blonde hair wearing a black and white uniform. Where have I seen him before…. Nya thought to herself.

“Allow Moby to give you a tour of the city first,” She started talking as she started walking. “First, this is the main block, a lot of stores, restaurants, and it's much like multiple small markets that form into one large market.”

Moby gave some brief description and explanation of each location of the main block, allowing many questions to pop up all at once. She started to get annoyed, most were silly. Moby showed them a closer look of the booths in the main block. Pointing out the blacksmith booth was the mostly empty she lead the group to it.

“Jobs are given based on your skills but for a rank in the army you are tested.” Moby explained, watching Ash and Tox look at the weapons while the other two lay eyes on her. “So you are tested for jobs?” Neuro asked while glancing at the other two. “Is that how you got a rank?”

“Yes, Moby and brother tested to be soldiers for Hidden. We both got the jobs of assassins as well as ninjas.”

“I see….” Nya muttered, watching the female as she walked pass grabbing something.

The two jump seeing Moby turn around with a fan blade in her hands. Nya and Neuro held up their hands as if they were caught doing something they shouldn't do. She held out the fans to Nya, offering them to her.

“For you while you are here. And this for you, sir.” Moby handed them to Nya while pulling out a dagger got the Mind Master. They thanked her nervously as she turned around to help the other two look for weapons.

“Hey, does that guy look familiar?” Neuro  asked, pulling Nya's attention to the crowd behind them. “The one wearing that black and white uniform. It almost looks like ancient kimonos the masters use to wear…”

Her hazel eyes glazed over the crowd, looking at the different colors and types of uniforms that weren't mentioned. The Ghosts wore the same green and black type of clothes that tidy looking with a lime green belt. Pirates had tidyed up clothes, like the ghosts.The Vermont soldiers wore the same armor like before but with a bright orange slash across their chest. The droids had a different black outfit, like a transitional army uniform with a grey ribbon on their wrists. Chen's followers wore a purple scarf on them over their same uniforms. With the Stone soldiers wearing a red slash on their right arm. There were other people who wore vibrant colors in both common everyday clothes and army uniforms. The people had some sort of scar or something worn over a part of their body. Much like Hidden.

“What are you doing? Moby said to stay in your bed,” she yelled at the male. “And if you are not going to rest than please watch small one with that friend of yours!!”

Small one? Friend? The group of questioned what Moby was yelling at the male.

“Wu?” Nya questioned out loud, testing her idea.

“Nya? Why are you here? Where are the main four?” Wu quickly started asking Nya.

“They went to fight their other selves. But Saké is going to watch them-”

“That doesn't stop the villains coming back to get back at them!” Wu interrupted.

“W-what? That's is not gonna happen. We prepared for that.” Moby asked, confused. “Hidden had planned for that-”

“Then why are reporting they are now their way back and to attack anyone from Ninjago?” Wu questioned Moby, who at this point was ready to punch those goons.

“...those idiots… Sorry.” Moby apologized,  giving a bow. “Moby will take you all to where they are but be ready to fight.”

Sorry for not updating as soon as I normally do, I have finals then was grounded but I'll be working on the next chapter as we speak.
