NINJAGO: Amateurs of Adulthood

G1

The ninja were starting to get worried, Jay wasn't waking up.

Most of the police officers had already woken up by now, but Zane stayed in the interview room with HeartBreaker, who was handcuffed and blindfolded

"Undo what you did to Jay." Zane demanded sternly

HeartBreaker scoffed as they aggressively hunched over the cold table. "Even if I wanted to, if he's still in there, it's 'cause he wants to be."

"But that wouldn't make sense. From what I've deducted from your power, you put people inside of hurtful and pain filled hallucinations and derive energy from their pain." Zane said again

"Ah, so you're the smart one..." HeartBreaker smiled, "no wonder the red one likes you. I wonder what it would be like inside his head."

"I wouldn't know, since I don't necessarily enjoy invading the privacy of people's deepest thoughts and conscious." Zane smiled back at HeartBreaker, leaning back in his chair

"Mm..." HeartBreaker hummed to themself before starting up again. "What would it be like, the mind of the fire ninja?"

"This isn't about me." Zane said in a monotone voice

"But it is." They smiled, "You're the only one who can resist my charms."

"But of course, I'm a nindroid. I am not susceptible to your power."

"Hm, only makes sense, I guess...!" HeartBreaker sighed.

Zane didn't feel right around HeartBreaker, but he decided not to bring it up

"So...can you undo what you've done with everyone?" The nindroid asked before sitting back up in his seat

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, of course. But you have to hear me out first..." They said calmly

"For what?" Zane asked

"My message, silly!"

Zane looked confused for a moment. "Your...ah! Your message. Well then, go on, and don't try anything either."

Though the villain was blindfolded over their eyes, they somehow managed to stare Zane straight in his. The room was almost dead silent as HeartBreaker whispered the words they had wanted to say from the beginning

"We will always be under your nose, like the water that runs through a hose. Whether dirty or clean or both, if you can't drink it down, then choke."

The moment Zane wanted to ask what it meant, HeartBreaker's mouth open wide, as if their jaw had just unhinged, as a horrible, rabid sound came from their mouth. The air in the little room had somehow become violent and Zane flew back, shielding his eyes from the way HeartBreaker's hair flopped and flew everywhich way in the wind. The interview room door had burst open and a lovely, pink colored smoke, rose out of every sleeping person's body and quickly traveled into HeartBreaker's mouth. An almost white light emitted from HeartBreaker's body as they inhaled the smoke, Zane could even see some light from their eyes, even from behind the bandana.

Cole, who was carrying Jay, noticed the pink smoke crawling out of his chest, along with the other ninja he was sitting with. He wanted to go see what HeartBreaker was doing, but the wind was to powerful from him to even get up, even with how far away they were from the interviewing rooms.

"What the hell is that sound?" Lloyd asked with a loud voice, trying to get his message across despite the terrible howling sound that came from the interview room

"I don't know!" Nya yelled back, which was a feet considering they were right next to each other

The only thing they could do was sit and watch the vibrant smoke be pulled from the remaining police officers and Jay's chests.

Zane was beginning to think this was a trap, the wind wasn't stopping and HeartBreaker's eyes only seemed to be getting brighter. Zane decided it was best to knock them off their game with a sharp blast to the face, it would be the best solution because right now, Zane didn't even know what HeartBreaker was doing. If they did anything other than what they said they were, it would've been Zane's fault.

However, before Zane could release the ice blast from his palm, HeartBreaker quickly silenced and the wind softened almost immediately. The whole police office station calmed down and in a few moments, everyone who was under the spell woke up. The remaining officers on the floor and slumped on the walls came to without a clue of what and happened while they were asleep.

Jay's eyes softly fluttered open as he came to, he quickly propped himself up on his forearms and looked around. When the others realized he was awake, they all slumped against the wall and breathed a sigh a relief

"Ah, shit... where's-?"

"It's cool," Cole said calmly, patting Jay's stomach before continuing, "we got 'em."

Jay sighed to himself, then opened his eyes to look at his other two friends

"Thanks, guys. Sorry I was so useless today." Jay smiled shyly as he rubbed the back of his head

"You think you were useless today? Take a look at Kai." Nya said

"Oh wait, you can't. He's not even here." Lloyd interjected. The other ninja laughed as Zane came out of the interview room

"Alright, they're being detained right now. I think we can go home." Zane smiled

"Ugh, finally." Lloyd sighed

Jay rolled off Cole's lap, landing on his feet before reaching his arms to the ceiling

"Umph...!" The redhead groaned, making sure to stretch his muscles well

Cole stood up and wrapped a big hand around the small ginger's shoulders as they walked with the rest of their team outside

"You still tryna go see Dareth?" Cole asked, looking down at the boy in his arms

"Lol, the only thing I'm 'tryna' do right now is go to sleep." Jay said, shaking his head and laughing

All the ninja laughed at Jay's joke before Cole turned around to face them

"We fan take my cycle back home, it's right there anyway." Cole started, pointing to his Rock Cycle that sat outside the police station. "Will y'all be okay?"

"We'll be fine, get home safe." Nya smiled

Cole and Jay waved goodbye before zooming off on the Rock Cycle into the light-hearted sunset of Ninjago

Just another day in Ninjago.
