Fractured | Ninjago AU (EXAMS RIGHT NOW THEN ILL UPDATE)

~ Part 1~ | We Are All Together

The woman opened the message, it wasn't much just a short scrawl of words reading:

Hey Koko! I found this amazing video! You have to watch it! <3

Janette

The woman smiled a little at those words. She looked further and attached was a link to a video from a Ninjago City news network, NGTV. Since she wasn't really doing much else except working for the rest of the night she decided to press play to see what it was about.

It was a grainy video, obviously taken by a bystander on their phone, they were waiting in a crowd with the camera pointed at the front doors of the news station. Just as the woman thought nothing was going to happen the doors swung open. A teenage boy marched out, head held high as his green gaze looked over the audience waiting for him. A few others followed but the woman was too focused on the boy. Her heart hammered in her chest, shock overtaking her as she couldn't rip her gaze away from the young man talking to the crowd.

No.

No. It couldn't be.

The woman fumbled to exit out of the full screen, her hands trembling as she scrolled up to the headline she had neglected to look at.

LLOYD GARMADON (AKA THE GREEN NINJA) MAKES AMAZING SPEECH IN DEFENCE OF DIVERSITY.

The woman felt like she had just been on a rollercoaster, her mind was scrambling, her emotions going haywire. She wanted to leave. She wanted to see him for herself. She wanted to hold him in her arms and cry for lost times. She wanted to go to him.

One side of her told her to stay put. You're better off keeping your distance. A little voice said. He wouldn't want to see you. But someone whispered in her ear. He's changed so much. He's no longer the little boy he was before. Do you really want to miss more of his life?

Every inch of her itches to run outside and scream to the heavens. Crying and begging to tell her what to do because her mind was being torn apart from the stress. Her heart seemed to know what to do before her head and suddenly she was up.

She grabbed her things, shoving the device and all her books into her bag. She was still putting on her coat as she walked out of the research facilities door, fingers flying on her phone screen as she pressed the little green button and ran towards the bus stop.

A little notification dinged and she only briefly glanced at it before she clambered inside the automobile, her brain set on her destination.

The computer-written message seemed all too cheerful for the anxious feeling that filled her as she sat down. Shaky fingers lifted her bronze locket off her neck and she carefully opened it to reveal the cheerful face of a green-eyed little boy.

Hey Misako! Your flight to Ninjago City has been booked!

"Why did I help you guys advertise this stupid place?" Kai groaned. "I can barely walk out of my dorm without newbies staring up at me and asking me stuff."

Lloyd shrugged at his friend's complaint and swung his bag over his shoulder. He moved his hip quickly so that the little body running past wouldn't smash into him. "Sure, it's a little bit busier but it's nice to see some fresh faces! Besides, I know you love the attention!" He teased, nudging the boy.
