The Students of Garmadon

Chapter 6: Can of Worms

"Uh, no offense, Sensei, but let me jump to this conclusion: today's lesson is lame" Cole said

"Yeah, why can't you just teach us to paralyze your enemy with one finger, or find out if a man is lying by the twitch of his nose?" Jay questions

Wu sighs "Because not all lessons are about fighting. And I misplaced my lesson book"

Kai walked over to Lloyd and took Wu's lesson book out of Lloyd's back pocket "You mean this lesson book?"

Lloyd looked annoyed "It was the perfect plan until-"

The ninjas all jumped back when a knife lodges into the wall next to Lloyd. Lloyd shouts and hides behind Wu.

"That almost killed me" Lloyd says

"Next time I won't miss" the ninjas look at the door to see Aria holding throwing knifes, her eyes were glowing purple

"woah woah woah!" Kai shouts surprised "creepy purple glowing eyes"

"Aria it was just a prank" Jay says trying to calm her down

"this is NOT just a prank!" Aria shouts and she threw another knife at Lloyd, Wu catches it

Wu quickly runs over to her and taps her chest with the end of his staff. He caught her when she falls forwards and helps her stand back up.

"What happened Sensei?" Aria asks, her eyes were back to it's normal green color

The rest of the ninjas stare at them. How could she forget?

"Do not worry about it, now what happened?" Wu asks calmly

Aria wipes the tears from her eyes and holds out her broken locket.

"I see" Wu says sadly "I'm sorry"

Kai walks over and takes it "don't worry kiddo, I fixed a locket before I think I can fix yours too"

"Really?" Aria asks hopefully "thank you" she hugs him

"Why were you so mad about it?" Jay questions

"Does it hold a special meaning to you?" Zane asks

"Yes.." Aria looks down "it's the only present I've ever received from my mother, father had made it for me."

"I see," Kai pats her head "Don't worry, I'll fix it."

"Sorry" Lloyd apologizes "I was supposed to play a prank.."

"It's ok, just next time choose a different prank Lloydie." Aria says

"So, what was up with the glowy eye trick?" Jay asks kind of freaked out

"The what?" Aria questions confused

"Never mind that" Wu quickly interrupts "Aria you should go back upstairs and get changed"

Aria looks down at herself still in her pajamas, she makes a squeak sound and runs back up the stairs.

"Sensei what is wrong?" Zane asks "that hasn't happened before"

"yeah you clearly know something we don't" Kai says

"so spill it Sensei" Cole crosses his arms

Wu sighs "Aria's elemental power is unstable, she had feared she would hurt someone, now I see that was a sign."

"Sensei.. what is Aria's elemental power?" Zane asks

"That I cannot answer" Wu places his hands behind his back "it is not time"

Nya voice was heard over the speaker "If you're done fooling around, I could use you guys on the bridge. We do still have a snake problem to attend to. Over and out!"
