Chapter 5 Give the kid a break, Cole

“The Ninja of trees and vegetation, the Ninja of trees and vegetation,” Norman repeated. “I like it! It suits me well.” “So where did you go to school?” asked Nicky. “I went to Kentucky state university.” “Oh.” Nicky said quietly. “I want pizza.” P.T. complained. “Me too. I’m starving.” exclaimed P.C. Cole playfully eyed Lloyd’s shoulder and grabbed it. “I’m so hungry I could eat you!” Lloyd slapped Cole and ran to the other side of the room. Tom giggled. For once Jay frowned. “Give the kid a break, Cole.” “What’s up with Jay?” Kai whispered to Shalom. “I don’t know. But he isn’t in his usual spirits. Some things wrong...” she muttered. Jay’s eyes glowed with annoyance at Cole’s joking around. Out of the blue, he jumped up and stormed off. Everyone but Zane sat staring out of surprise at the path Jay had taken to the boy’s dorm. “Ooookay.” whispered Cole. They could hear Jay frustrated mutterings and stomping from the other room.

“Master Warui!” “Yes, what is it Debite, my servant,” “I come with important news! Your brother and the ninja have returned and have grown in number from five to ten!” “WHAT?!?” Raged Warui, the first born son of Lord Garmadon. His younger brother, Ryuu, was away with his army in the rainforest. “Where is your warrior friend Bittin?” Debite’s lip quivered. “He was smashed by one of the ninja,” “Do you know which one?” “The blue one,” “Ah, Jay? I knew he was a troublemaker... Call the generals!” Shortly, three huge armor clad insects ran swiftly into the throne room. Warui sighed angrily and slapped his pale forehead. “Where is that stupid spider Poysin?” bellowed the evil teen. “He, um, had to use the restroom, Master Warui,” said Leapteris, the Grasshopper general. Warui held back his anger and called to his slave, “Bring Poysin in and tell him that when I call he WILL come!!!” “Yes Master,” called the meek little spider.
