《Ninjago: One More Ninja》Chapter 42: Winds of Change
Advertisement
At the endless sea the Ninja fly by on their Elemental Dragons looking for a mutant Fangfish. Kai laughs as he goes ahead
Lloyd laughs "Getting ahead of yourself, Kai? Heh. I'm leading this charge" he charges at Kai.
"Aah!" Kai shouts as he's splashed with water
Jay laughs "That's one way to cool off a hothead"
"Hey, no one messes up my hair!" Kai flies and splashes water
Zane spits and coughs up water
Cole laughs "You okay there, Zane?"
"Affirmative. It'll take more than a little water to take me out" Zane replied
A giant fish jumps up
"There he blows!" Cole shouts
"P.I.X.A.L. says this is the one" Zane informs them
"And now that he's taken the bait, let's reel him in and get him to the aquarium" Lloyd says
-
At the docks, two people grab fishing poles
"Looks like we made this place safe to fish again. If your father was still here, he's tell you he's proud. You've become a great leader, Lloyd" Kai says
"No, we're a great team" Lloyd corrects him "Can't say I don't miss him"
Fish is put into a tank, splashing water on everyone. Ninja scream.
"It's only a little water" they heard Aria's voice say
"Easy for you to say babe" Lloyd said as he and the ninja turn around
Lloyd, Kai, and Jay all stood there staring at her.
Zane walked over to Jay "Nya"
"Nya, where?" Jay immediately snapped out of it "...oh thanks Zane"
"snap out of it, she's Lloyd's" Cole slapped Kai
Kai shook his head and rubbed his cheek "...thanks Cole"
Lloyd blushed and put his jacket around Aria "wear this"
"Ok" Aria agreed confused
"Anyway... with my dad gone, sometimes I question where I'm going. Sometimes I worry about who I might become" Lloyd admits
"I know how that feels. After I lost my dad, I lost my way. But I was lucky to have my sister watch over me. Don't worry, big shot" Kai playfully gives him a noogie "I'll watch over you from now on"
Lloyd laughs and playfully mocks Kai "Hey, no one messes up my hair"
Aria laughed and went over with the other ninja
"Hey, you two gonna get in the picture? No one's gonna believe this. Getting a picture. This is awesome!" Jay calls and the two head over
"Back. Back just a little further. Just a little further" Zane directed the photographer

The photographer snaps a photo before falling in the ocean "Hehe, you guys!"
The Fangfish splashes water on the Ninja again.
"I told you guys you should've warn a bathing suite" Aria laughed
-
"You know I'm really starting to like your new hair color Aria" Jay said as they walk to the new tea shop
"I don't know why it's silver" Aria shrugged "My hair hasn't gone back to blonde ever since I used half my power"
"You're telling us that was only half?!" Kai questioned shocked
"Please never fight me" Lloyd joked
"Aria's silver hair might be a sign that she is unlocking more of her power" Zane predicted
"I think my grandfather has a picture of my father with silver hair" Aria said "I'll go see him later"
They land their Dragons outside of Steep Wisdom.
"Oh, who am I kidding? I'm tired of waiting. I'll put the Ninja to work" They hear Wu say as he picks up box "Ninja, you need to find customers."
"No "hello, how's it going, glad to hear you saved the day...again?" " Jay questions
"Yeah, Sensei. We're all a bit tired" Cole says "You mind if we handle this tomorrow?"
"We all have a share if this business succeeds. How else do you expect me to be able to afford all your new uniforms?" Wu puts down box and opens it "Which reminds me, your new ones arrived"
"What about me?" Aria asks "I have all my uniforms made by the royal seamstress"
"well you're a princess" Wu shrugs
The ninja sees their outfits, but they are shirts with the Steep Wisdom logo "Huh?"
"Those do not appear to be Ninja uniforms. They resemble work attire" Zane says
"Way to point out the obvious Zane" Aria says sarcastically
"Very observant, Zane. We must focus on furthering brand awareness. And here are the fliers I want each of you to pass out in the city" Wu says handing them fliers
"Ugh, If I have to pass all these out, I may be the one passed out" Jay whines and Aria laughs
The phone rings.
"Oh, that could be our first order! Shh!" Misako picks up phone "Steep Wisdom, how may be serve you?"
"Aren't we going to look kind of dorky flying up on our Power Dragons with these things on?" Kai asks
"You won't be flying on anything. We're selling tea, not magic. Besides, you all have been relying a little too heavily on your Elemental Powers lately. Real powers come from the inside" Wu lectures

"It would be our honor, Sensei' Lloyd smiles
"Look at Lloydie being a cinnamon roll" Aria mocks and Lloyd covers his face in embarrassment
"Thank you. I'll let him know right away" Misako puts down the phone
"Is it a big order?" Nya asks
"It's the police. They've asked for Lloyd. There's been a break-in at the museum" Misako replies
Everyone but Misako gasps
"Go on, I'll take your share" Cole offers
"Thanks. I owe you one" Lloyd smiles handing Cole his fliers
"Aren't you going to kiss your mother goodbye?" Misako asks as Lloyd turns to leave
Lloyd's face turned red in embarrassment "Mom, we've...we've talked about this. I'll catch you on the way back"
"I want a kiss" Aria whines and Lloyd gives her a kiss
"oh I see you'll give your girlfriend a kiss but not your mother" Misako teases
"mom please" Lloyd says embarrassed and everyone laughs
Lloyd leaves and Wu turns to the ninja "remember, no powers"
The Ninja groan
"Sensei can we talk?" Aria asks walking over to him
"Follow me" Wu replies walking into the tea shop with Aria following
-
Misako scoops tea leaves in a bag and hands it to a customer "I added a little something extra"
"Sensei!"
"It's an emergency!"
"We need you!"
"It's important!"
Misako looked outside "Boys, not so loud. Can't you see we have our first customer?"
"Where's Wu?" Jay whispers to Misako
Wu and Aria come up the stairs
"Sensei!" Kai shouts
"Yes?" Wu asks
"We were getting the word out..."
"...and there was this wind..."
"...and our powers disappeared"
"You were using your powers?" Wu asks
"Yeah, I know. We're terrible students, but what happened to our powers?!" Jay shouts
"karma" Aria replies
"not the time Aria" Kai said covering her mouth
Wind blows
Wu thinks "If your powers are gone, then something must have happened to..."
Lloyd approaches the shop
"I know that wind" Aria looks at Wu "Sensei that's..."
"Yes you're right, that's not Lloyd" Wu agrees
"Step aside" Lloyd says
"Lloyd! What's wrong with you!" Jay shouts
"I want a word with your master" he growls
Jay notices his voice got deeper "Whoa, Lloyd's gone through puberty"
"What's gotten into him?" Cole asks
"I sense some kind of foreign entity has taken over his body" Zane examines "So the question isn't what, but who's gotten into him?"
"Whoever you are, whatever beef you had with Sensei, you have with us. Give us back our friend!" Kai shouts
'Lloyd' just cracks his neck and laughs.
"How are we supposed to fight a friend?" Cole asks
"Let me show you!" his skin turns green and attacks the Ninja as he laughs
The boys charge at him, but he easily fends them off. The male ninja scream as they are tossed around. 'Lloyd' enters the shop
"Get out!" Nya shouts
"Go stock some shelves before you get hurt" 'Lloyd' replies
"Stay back, Nya. It's me he wants" Wu says
"Not you. Just your father's staff" 'Lloyd' clarified
"I see you've found the Allied Armor, Morro, yet you haven't summoned your friends" Wu said
'Lloyd' shrugs "Your pathetic students haven't given me a reason to"
Ninja pant and groan as they are defeated
"No one calls me pathetic" Jay says from the ground
"say that when you're on your feet!" Aria shouts at him
"It's been a long time Aria" 'Lloyd' said turning to her "my have you grown, it feels like it was only yesterday you were 5 and arrived at the monastery. You used to have such pretty blonde hair, now it's silver, green boy's changed you"
"Save it" Aria said annoyed "that was years ago and now you're after Master's staff, go ahead and try to take it"
Wu, 'Lloyd', and Aria start fighting. Neither of them trying their hardest, their was something inside them holding them back. Aria casts her nightmare barrier trapping only 'Lloyd' inside.
"Good job Aria, now we leave" Wu says
"my barrier will automatically shut down after I'm a certain distance away so we better move quickly" Aria informed them
Seeing they cannot save Lloyd at that time, Cole, Jay, and Zane board the Bounty with Wu, Nya, and Aria. Kai initially stays to try and help Lloyd but is forced to board the Bounty by his fellow Ninja.
Nya struggles to get the Bounty moving, but Morro drags it back towards him using large gusts of wind. Finally, Nya manages to break the Bounty free of the wind, and it flies off, leaving an infuriated Morro behind.
"Spill it, Sensei. What just happened back there, and what have they done to my friend?" Jay asks
Wu sighs "You were not my first pupils. Morro, the Master of Wind was my first pupil and Aria was my second"
"After my mother died I was brought to the monastery by Sensei Wu and met Morro, we got pretty close to each other, he was like a big brother to me and I was considered a little sister to him" Aria explained sadly
"Okay, now those lights scare me" Nya got their attention "We got something on our six. Looks like your Master of Wind just caught his second wind"
Morro, on a Dragon, plunges at the Bounty.
