Chapter 18: NO!!! YOU SAVAGES!!!

Morro shoots a lopsided grin at you, then addresses Acronix.  "Your brother, huh?  What was his brilliant plan with the Blades?  Did he want to use them to make some okonomiyaki or something?"

Acronix's face turns red with suppressed anger.  "No, you idiot!  He wants to reawaken the best army that you all have ever seen-!"  He suddenly gasps in horror and covers his mouth.  "Oh my First Spinjitzu Master, I shouldn't have told you that!!!"

"..It was worth him calling me an idiot just to see the look on his face right now."  Morro confides to you.

You smile back at him and wink, giving him a high five.  "Good job!"

"Thanks!"

Jay and Nya hug each other in a joyful embrace.  "WE SHIP!!!  WE SHIP!!!"

Kai subtly snaps a photo of you and the former ghost, muttering,  "This gets uploaded onto my blog.  I'll print out the posters later..."

"-And some say that I get easily sidetracked..."  Rhea grumbles, walking in. 

Emily takes one look at her and bursts out laughing.  You don't understand why, at first, but then you notice a rather magnificent black eye puffing up on her face.

Lloyd emits a shocked squeak.  "I didn't think that Ava would actually hit you-!"

"-Then let me make it clear.  I didn't."  Ava interrupts, sitting back down onto her chair.

"..This clever illusionist tripped over her own two feet as we were heading out."

"Darn gravity..."  Rhea mumbles.  She grumpily waves her hand across her face, and the bruise shimmers and vanishes.  "THERE, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AT IT!!!"  She yells at Emily.

Emily cackles.

"Acronix, there's no easy way to tell you this, so I'll just come straight out and say it.  Your phone is kaput.  Here, see for yourself."  Ava solemnly holds out the phone for his inspection.

There's a large vertical crack on the screen, and a shattered impact crater from what seems to be suspiciously from a human fist.

"NO!!!  YOU SAVAGES!!!"  He howls.

Rhea watches him, stone-faced for a moment, then gives a tiny snort.  Two seconds later, she completely breaks down onto a fit of hysterical giggles.  The phone screen suddenly shimmers like oil on water, and a very unbroken phone appears in its place.

Rhea looks up.  "Oops!  Guess I blew it."

Ava sighs.  "Ray-ray, if you're going to play a prank on someone and ask me to go along with it, at least have the presence of mind to keep your composure, no?"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss I-never-have-any-emotions!  We're not all like that, you know!!!"

Ava lifts her chin defiantly.  "I do in fact have many different emotions, thank you very much!"  She starts counting on her fingers.  "Annoyance, anger, fury, rage, killer-"

"I meant nice emotions!!!"

"Those are nice emotions!!!"

Cole shouts into the shocked silence.  "QUIT ARGUING!!!"

They both stare at him in surprise.

"Oh, we're not arguing.  We're debating."

"Yeah, Ava likes to keep us mentally sharp."  Rhea agrees calmly.

"In that case, carry on."

"PAH!  You've ruined the mood, my friend."  Rhea playfully sticks her tongue out at Cole.

"Careful, Cole."  Ava cautions him.  "I do believe she's flirting with you."

"AVA!!!"  Rhea whisper-shouts at her.

"Nani?"

Acronix's chair suddenly warps and wraps itself around him, causing him to scream.  "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!!"

"Oh, that."  You look at him pensively as he struggles to free himself.  "-Those are my powers."

"HEEEEEEEEH?!!"
