Lloyd steps away from Kai.  "You guys are not normal!"

Kai shrugs.  "We never said we were."

"I-  We-  You-!"  Lloyd splutters comically.

"So true."  Cole mutters.

"Rhea, GET OVER HERE!!!"  Lloyd hollers.  "We're rescuing your friend!!!"

"Aww, do we have to?"  She then yelps as Emily glares at her and waves her hand at the illusionist, who screws her eyes shut against the brilliant starburst sent her way.  "AAAH!  THE LIGHT!!!  IT BURNS!!!  Bad Emily, BAD!!!"

"Good Emily."  Lloyd corrects.

"Master Wu, Lloyd's picking on me!"  Rhea sniffles.

"He's not even here-!"  Lloyd's reply is cut short when he gets rapped on the head by Wu's staff.  "Behave, Nephew.  She could make your life your worst nightmare."

Rhea makes a peace sigh behind Wu's back and grins at Lloyd.

"..I know, because she's already done that to mine."  Wu finishes.

Rhea pouts at him, then gasps and points dramatically at Acronix as he walks up.  "FINALLY!!!  KNOBBY IS FREE AT LAST!!!"

Acronix claps his hands together.  "I know this one!  Larry Porter, right?!!"

"Yeah!  You're getting really good at this, 'Nix!"

"It bewilders me that you appear to have such an above-average memorization capacity, yet Krux still described you as 'worthless' to us."  Zane pipes up.

Acronix stiffens.  "He really said that?"

Everyone nods.

"You know what?  My brother can go die in a hole for all I care.  I'm done with him."

"Pardon?"

"You heard me.  Let's go save Av-  Ninjago."

The guys all give each other confused looks, while Rhea and Emily exchange understanding grins.

"This'll be entertaining."  Rhea giggles.

"What will?"  Cole asks, baffled.

"Men are all blind."  Nya sighs, then quickly adds,  "Except you, Jay, of course!"

"Thank you, Nya!  I love you!"

"Do you actually have any idea what we're talking about?"

"Nope!"

"I love you too, Jay."

Acronix is practically bouncing on his feet, becoming increasingly impatient.  "Let's go, people!  Do you want to make Ava angry?"

"NO!!!"  Rhea shrieks.  "Let's move out, guys!  Race you to the Island!"  She summons her dragon and leaps on.  "Awa' with ye, Spirit!  I'm not havin' her weel executed just yet.  She might still be willin' tae make me the sole beneficiary!"

"That is seriously twisted, Rhea."

"You sound like I should care."

"I'll be reporting you to her."  Lloyd warns.

"You wouldn't dare!"

"Would too!"

"Shut up!"

Rhea and Lloyd begin bickering again, and you groan.  This is going to be a long flight.

-Back at the Island-

"We land there!"  Lloyd orders grumpily, irritable after an hour-long argument with Rhea.

"What if we don't want to, leprechaun?!!"

"WE LAND NOW!!!"  He barks back.

"Whatever."

Acronix hops off of Kai's dragon, looking relieved to put some distance between himself and the Master of Fire.  "Where should we begin looking for Ava?"

"Wherever there's maximum destruction."  Rhea answers.  "Look for body parts."

He laughs, until he realizes that she isn't joining in.  "Holy Spinjitzu, you're serious?!!"

"First Spinjitzu Master, have you met her?!!"  Rhea fires back.

"Oh my-!!!"  Any further comment is cut short by a body falling out of the tree above them.  Without thinking, Acronix catches it, then looks horrified, until it opens its eyes blearily.

"You woke me up from my power nap..."  Then Ava's eyes clear, and she smacks Acronix's arms away from her waist.  "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!"

"I saved you!"

"I DON'T NEED SAVING!!!"  She glowers at him.  "Why are you even here?!!"

Acronix lowers his eyes.  "Um..  To save you..?"

Ava blushes slightly, then raises her hand to hit him.

"NO, Ava!"  Rhea and Emily hold her back.  "Just tell us, where are the bodies?"

Ava sighs and indicates a spot behind her on the trail.  "Somewhere over there, I think."

"Okay."  Rhea nods.  "Then we'll empty their pockets for valuables."

"Who are you people?!!"  Acronix shrieks. 

586 words.  I am seriously starting to ship Nightwatch (Nighttime?) now!  :P
