Ninjago: Ninja Life

Returning the Bounty

(Jay's POV)

"So what do you think Master Wu is gonna say when he sees what Garmadon did to the Bounty? You think he'll lose it?" Kai asked while leaning against the railing of the ship, of course taking the time to snap a selfie of himself high above the city "I don't think my uncle is gonna go crazy all just because my father painted his ship a different colour" Lloyd said to Kai with a slight smirk as he and Harumi enjoyed the breeze on the Bounty's deck

"I feel like we should be less concerned about what Master Wu thinks about the condition of the Bounty and more concerned with the condition those pirates left the city in" Nya spoke from her position steering the ship towards the warehouse, making it sure that no news helicopters were able to follow the Destiny's Bounty

After hearing Nya say that I had to somewhat ignore my fear of heights for a moment as I very carefully peered over the side of the ship, taking in the sight of a pretty damaged Ninjago City below, thankfully it was nowhere near as bad as when the Great Devourer attacked but I can only imagine how upset the mayor is about how much money it'll take to fix everything. Thank the First Spinjitzu Master there's no way she can bill us for all of the destruction this city sees every month.........can she?

I turned around from the destruction below us and couldn't help but share some of my thoughts with the other Ninja "Ummm g-guys? I-I can't help b-b-but feel terrible a-about all of the destruction d-d-down there, I feel l-l-like we should r-really do something t-to try and help fix it a-a-all" I told the rest of the Ninja who seemed to listen attentively, nodding along with what I was saying

"It does feel pretty bad to just look at the city being destroyed and not really do anything about fixing it" Skylor agreed to what I had just said "It is certainly a very good thought Jay, what would you perhaps recommend we do in order to help aid in the reconstruction of Ninjago City?" Zane asked me with a curious tone, making me incredibly nervous as I was suddenly put on the spot with everyone's eyes looking at me, especially Nya's beautiful eyes

I gulped nervously before attempting to voice my thoughts to the other Ninja "Uhhh umm well h-h-how a-about some uhhh k-kind of c-c-charity e-event? We c-could umm do something t-to help raise m-m-money for f-fixing the city?" I anxiously suggested, looking at my feet while fidgeting with my gloved hands as I spoke. Tilting my head up to see the reaction of the other Ninja I was greeted with all positive faces, especially Zane with his sometimes unsettling large smile

"Hmm, not a bad idea" Harumi commented "But what sort of charity event would we be doing? If it has anything to do with just picking up disgusting trash you can count me out" The white haired girl scoffed in disgust with crossed arms, clearly not willing to do any kind of physical labour. "I don't mind helping with any kind of heavy lifting, it'll give me a great chance to show off my latest gains" Cole was the exact opposite of Harumi, flexing his two muscular arms to show us what he was talking about

"Maybe Jay, Zane and I could run a vehicle fixing service for charity, surely after everything Soto and his crew did a lot of people need their cars and other vehicles fixed and the three of us are more than capable" Nya suggested an idea that immediately made my heart and mind race with possibilities, Nya and I spending time together fixing stuff? That would be the best thing ever! But knowing me I would be too nervous to even ask her to pass me the wrench......at least Zane would be there to fill in the awkward silence

Zane agreed with Nya's idea before turning his head towards me "What do you think about Nya's proposal Jay? I believe it is quite an excellent idea" The Nindroid asked me, like before I could feel everyone's attention on me, especially feeling the watching gaze of Nya who I couldn't bring myself to look at while answering Zane's question "Uhhh y-y-yeah it ummm t-t-totally sounds like a t-truly awesome idea!" I loudly blurted out, silently cringing to myself over the usage of the words 'truly awesome'
