Promises (Ninjago's Kai x Reader)

Episode 9 - My, My, My

"Ah, looks like class is over. Time to start stomping some Serpentine before they find any Fangblades," Cole declares.

"Sounds like a plan," Kai replies.

Zane nods. "I'm excited to join."

I follow Kai, Cole and Zane out onto the deck where we usually train. Jay lags behind and I think I know why. His crush on Nya is obvious and it's adorable. Nya has previously confessed to me that she really likes Jay. I really hope they work out, they deserve it.

"Can we all agree, Zane is out of the running for the Green Ninja," Kai says. I roll my eyes and shake my head at him.

"What? Why?" Zane protests.

"Because you've already unlocked your full potential and it did not reveal you to be the Green Ninja," Cole explains.

"You guys really need to stop with this whole Green Ninja thing," I say, crossing my arms over my chest.

Zane cocks his head to the side. "Why?"

"Because it distracts you from what really matters," I reply with a shrug.

"And what would that be?" Kai challenges.

"Stopping Pythor and saving my brother."

Kai opens his mouth to reply, but then closes it and his gaze shifts to something behind me. I turn around just as Jay struts into the room wearing a black suit with a blue bow tie. His hair is styled in a weird but fancy way and he wears a scarf around his neck.

"Whoa, where are you going, Mr. Fancy?" Cole asks teasingly.

"Didn't you hear? I'm taking Nya to a nice restaurant. A really nice restaurant," Jay replies with a cocky smirk.

Kai rolls his eyes. "You might want to change your plans. The bridge just picked up evidence of Serpentine activity over at Mega Monster Amusement Park," he says, pulling up a picture of Pythor posing with citizens.

"Hey, that's Pythor!" Jay says.

I scoff. "Obviously." They ignore me.

"Pythor would not be there for fun. We believe a Fangblade may be buried underneath the park," Zane explains.

"We cant let them get it," Jay exclaims. His tough look turns soft. "Oh, but my date..."

"Jay, if they get all four of them, Pythor can unleash the Great Devourer. Get your priorities straight, man," Kai says solemnly.

I roll my eyes and glare at Kai. "Don't you dare sink my ship, Kai!" They give me weird looks, but I ignore them, turning to Jay. "Why don't you just take her to the park for your date?"

He smiles at me. "Great idea! Thanks, Tasha."

Jay and Nya are at the most popular restaurant in Mega Monster Amusement park while the rest of us search for the snakes. It's odd, the park is surprisingly empty, especially for this nice of a day. There are barely any lines for any of the rides. Normally, I'd rejoice, but with snakes on the loose, I cant help but feel uneasy.

"Where is everybody?" Kai says what we're all thinking. Seconds after he said this, people come running and screaming out of the Haunted House.

"Wait a minute, that ride was never scary," Cole says.

Zane hardens his gaze. "Venomari."

"Should we get Jay?" Kai asks.

I shake my head and smirk. "Lets not bother the two lovebirds."
