As they got closer and closer to the city Zephyr came to the full realization of how big it really was. It was much like the city she'd seen in movies and pictures except there was some minor differences she noticed as they entered. There were many many windmills outside of the city, most likely used to generate power. There were many more rooftop gardens. There were walkways that went over or under the streets all over the place so crossing it directly seemed almost unnecessary. There was a few parks, graveyards, monuments and ancient buildings inbeetween all the large buildings, busy streets and walkways. There was one very large difference though, and that was the city under the city! Apparently the serpentine had started an underground city under the city, but Zephyr would have to wait till later to see it, because first the group checked out the sights of the normal city, mostly all but forgetting they were there to learn how to blend in. There was so many people Zephyr was sure she'd never seen this many in her lifetime so far. It was exciting and interesting, there didn't seem to a single thing that was boring. People going places and doing stuff, new things around every corner. Stores ten to twenty times the size Zephyr had ever seen. Lots of cars too, Zephyr couldn't help but flinch and almost panic every time one went by, she wasn't really scared of them, she just wasn't used to them driving by so fast and she had been told in a quite detailed way by her parents what would happen if she was ever hit by one. Another thing that sort of bothered her was some of the people, some just looked plan suspicious, while others kinda wireded her out. Some surprised her too, like when they walked by a movie theater and a girl screamed " OH MY GOODNESS! Brad Tudabone is going to be in the next Extreme Action moive! He's my favorite actor! EEHHH!!! " At the sound of the the girl's screaming Zephyr nearly jumped out her skin. Lisa must have noticed since she said " Relax Zephyr, it's just a fangirl, they're harmless, most of the time... "
I believe that if the power of fangirling was properly harnessed, it could fuel New York City indefinitely.
Are you sure one can fall down a waterfall like that? Water can hurt, I'll tell you. But that, yeah.
I mean, "gravitation" could refer to amber!
I don't know, I didn't research it. Like I said, assumed it's like a really high diving bored. But if it makes you more comfortable there's a chance she could have used gravity. The main point I was trying to get across anyway is that's she's a thrill seeker and not afraid of heights.
Amber is all the elements I suppose.
Okay. Maybe she used gravity without even knowing it.
*** "Whoa, what kind of bug is that? I'm sure Lisa would know, but I have no clue. It's not from around here is it? " "I don't know the name of it either. " Said Zephyr as shifted over so he could see it better. "Wow it's big, is this why you always take food to your room? " asked Jadyn. " You noticed? " Zephyr had always tried to be kinda secretive about it. " Well you do it every day, so it's kinda hard not to. But I can see why, it has quite the appetite." The bettle had finished it's meal and started to spread it's wings, ready for flight. Jadyn and Zephyr left the room as bettle took flight. Zephyr closed the door so it wouldn't fly out and joined the others who were standing in front of Sensei. ***
Zephyr didn't say anything, this was good and bad on many levels. Good: Gavin, Keegan, Chelsea and their friends were there. This would be her first time seeing Ninjago City or any city for that matter. This was good training. Her team would be there. Bad: LOTS of strangers, not fitting in, the unknown, etc.
HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS CHAPTER WAS UP
Ooh, a beetle! I'd name him Barry; Barry the Beetle.
Seemed like the good and bad canceled each other out. So she decided she'd go not expecting anything and hope for the best and fear for the worst.

" Luckily I've already got a normal shirt on, see." He took off his gi to reveal an orange t shirt with Griffin Turner on it. " My uncle gave me this shirt when he said I could have his element. He wants to prove to the world he's the fastest without his elemental power before he retires someday. Ya know, maybe I should ware it every day. " " That's nice, but for Ninjago's sake, do not ware that every day. " Said Lisa. "I already have been wareing it for the past week. " Said Moe. " Are you serious?... Anyway, let's do what Sensei said. " Lisa said and then walked over to her room. Zephyr rushed into her own room startling the bettle a bit.
***
Once they were all ready, Zephyr and the others went outside to see if Sensei had gotten his ride ready yet. Suddenly a green jet landed in front of the the dojo. Wait a minute... Green! Zephyr thought. The realization hitting her like a tree branch to the face. It all made sense now! ***
I usually just fear for the worst. Less disappointments that way.
Why doesn't my dad have his own T-shirt. . .?
*hugs beetle* IT'S OK, BARRY, I'VE GOT YOU!!
Took ya long enough. So much for blending in, indeed, Lisa. . .
" Didn't we already fly a jet once though? " Lisa asked Jadyn as the cockpit closed and the jet engines started. "I was three, I don't remember it. And besides, didn't we just push random buttons and put it on auto pilot." He said the jet began to rise off the ground. "That's what we were told." Said Lisa. "Yeah and it was a pain to rescue you two. " Sensei muterder. *** " Sensei... Are you the green ninja?" "Yes. " Said Sensei calmly as if she had asked something as simple as the weather. " What?! " Said Moe shocked. Jadyn and Lisa glanced at each other and shrugged. " Why didn't you tell us?" Asked Zephyr. " I figured it would be for the best. I had no clue how you would respond to such information, and if it would be good or bad. You're ready to know now though." Wow! Thought Zephyr. I'm being trained by the green ninja! THE GREEN NINJA! And I'm on a team with two of ninja's kids and another elemental master's relative. Plus there's a chance I have an element! I'm the luckiest person alive!
That sounds like a funny story.
*SHOCKED EMOTE ACTIVATE*
There were a lot of fangirls in Lloyd's day who would smash to be your position, Zephyr.
"Can we call you Sensei Green Ninja? " asked Moe. "No. " Said Sensei focusing on the controls. "Can we call you Sensei Lloyd?" Offered Zephyr. "Hmm maybe. It does sound nice." He pondered. " Or I could go back to calling you uncle Lloydy. " Said Lisa teasingly. " Definitely not. Not while I'm your teacher. " " What can we call you then?" Lisa asked smugly. " Either Sensei or Sensei Lloyd is fine. But be mindful about where you use the latter. The last we want is you ending up in deep trouble with an old foe of mine." "Oh lighten up Sensei, we could take em on I'm sure. " Said Moe. " I wouldn't be so confident yet Jay. " Said Sensei Lloyd with a slight grin. "Jay?.. " Moe said, obviously confused, but before anyone could fill him in the jet began to land near a warehouse and everyone turned to look at the large city not far away. The cockpit opened and Sensei said " Alright, you four head into the city while I stay here and work out the oil change. Then I'll find you in city and make sure you are all blending in good. " he then turned to the warehouse and shouted " Mindroid! I've come for an oil change." A door to the warehouse opened and an android in a ninja suit about the size of child came out buzzing and beeping a language Zephyr couldn't understand. He walked over to to a large garage door and opened it, he then motioned for the jet be brought in. They all got out of the jet expect for Sensei. "See you later. " And with that Sensei Lloyd put the jet on hover mood and disappeared into the warehouse. Everyone was silent until Moe said "Am I the only one who thinks it's a little weird that a robot ninja works on his jet?" " Nindroid, he's a nindroid." Lisa corrected, "I can explain their history while we walk to the city."
