That snake is so cute!!     

" Ok, we'll help you."  Lisa finally said breaking the silence. Moe looked confused. Jadyn looked alert and ready. Zephyr looked like Lisa had said they were going to have a party without permission, exitced, but also nervous to possibly disregard authority. 
" Wonderful, thank you!" Said Rick greatfully. 
" It's settled then. " said a new voice at the door. This took almost everyone by surprise except for Lisa and Jadyn. The voice belonged to Sensei Lloyd. Lisa turned her head towards the doorway and sure enough he was standing there as if he'd been there all along, and he very well might've. 
" How'd you even find us here?! " asked Moe as he jumped up from his seat. 
" A ninja never reveals his secrets." said Sensei grinning. 
" You used travelers tea didn't you? " said Lisa knowing very well what most of Lloyd's tricks were. 
" What did I just say?!" Sensei said obviously not to fond of the fact that Lisa had just taken the fun out of his mysterious arrival. 
" Haven't you been using travelers tea a lot lately? " asked Lisa. After all, travelers tea was ment to only be used when extremely necessary. 
" If we don't use it we'll lose it. Those thieves could seal it all back anytime and I'm not in the mood to chases them around Ninjago for the twentieth time. Besides, I can't just dump it out, can you imagine the damage that would cause? "
" So you're just using it up bit by bit? " asked Moe. 
" Yes, now this isn't the time to be discussing this. Didn't you just sign yourselves up for a mission? " reminded Sensei. 
" Yeah, well, Lisa did at least. But the rest of us are totally in." Said Moe. Zephyr and Jadyn nodded in agreement after he spoke. 
" Good then, follow me. " said Sensei Lloyd.

Later, The Dojo


" Jadyn go into my room and look in my closet. You should find at least four aeroblades in halfway decent shape. " said Sensei as soon as they came through the door. He then started telling the others what to do but Jadyn hardly heard it since he was already in Sensei's closet. There was actually a lot of strange and interesting objects in Sensei Lloyd's closet along with his robes, other clothing and weapons. Everything was organized into labeled boxes and baskets on the shelves, with labels like: "Anti Venom"  " Techno Blades" " Assorted Magic Tea " , " Old Prank Stuff " and many that said " Travelers Tea " He finally spotted a box labeled " Aeroblades " right under a box labeled with "  Travelers Tea " 
Sensei was serious when he said he had a lot of it left. Jadyn carefully removed the box of travelers tea, knowing full well that if a box of travelers tea dropped it could be really bad... 
He then checked to make sure that the box labeled " Aeroblades " really had aeroblades, and then brought them out to the main room after putting the travelers tea back. Moe and Zephyr were bringing out what Jadyn recognized to be deepstone amour from the closet that had the training stuff in it. Lisa came out of the kitchen area with an arm full of flashlights. Sensei was waiting with a box in his hands. He grinned and said. 
" Alright, time for new suits. " He then opened the box and passed them out. Jadyn opened the package his was in and admired the quality fabric. He heard Zephyr gasp a few feet away from him, he looked over at her, her eyes were wide with awe as she stared at her new suit. 
"  Nice. " Lisa breathed. 
" Awesome. " said Moe. 

They each went to their rooms to try them on. Jadyn put his on, it was red naturally, with some black on it as well, on the back was an animal symbol stitched into the main fabric. Jadyn couldn't tell what animal, only that it was something like a dog, wolf or fox. He couldn't help but wonder who designed these suits, he knew these must be especially made, since you don't see everyone running around in ninja suits. He came out of his room to find Lisa who was in her suit now, her's was an extremely light blue with white , her's also had a symbol on the back that looked like a dog-like creature. Moe came out of his room and shortly after Zephyr came out of her's. Moe's suit was a very light green with brownish orange color and his also had a symbol. Now Zephyr's ninja suit was a royal blue with a forest green as the less common color. The blue was very close in shade to the streaks in her blonde hair and the green was like the tint in her eyes. Zephyr froze when she cought sight of him glancing at her, she held his gaze for a moment. Jadyn decided to pay her a compliment to break the silence.
"You look ready for action, the colors suit you well. " Zephyr smiled and replied.  
"Thanks, you look awesome too." Sensei walked into the room wearing a green ninja gi. 
"Alright everyone, put some deepstone amour on. It'll keep you from getting possessed. " he said holding up some of the armour. The four of them glanced at each other, mixed expressions on their faces. Moe whispered 
" Is he serious? "
" Very. "  Jadyn whispered back. Sensei Lloyd had spoken of his past experiences with ghosts before and Jadyn knew he had exemely good reasons for being so prepared. The team put on the deepstone amour, it was heavy and weighted on Jadyn's shoulders. 
Guess you have to be uncomfortable if you want to be safe sometimes. Thought Jadyn. Sensei handed out the flashlights Lisa had gathered along with a bottled water and an aeroblade to each of them and said 
" Keep these with you at all times. The water isn't for drinking... " 

Jadyn tired to focus on the mission. Luckily they didn't have to climb much to reach the entrance to Lost Miners' Mine. There was evidence that a mine nearby had been used recently, probably the mine Rick worked in. Lost Miners' Mine was boarded up and there was even a sign that was stuck in the ground next to it that said " Lost Miners' Mine "
" Looks like this is it. " said Lisa. Moe and Zephyr looked in between the boards.
" It doesn't seem very haunted. Just dark." said Moe. Jadyn then realized this could very well be a wild goose chase. They could spend hours in a potentially dangerous mine and not find anything.
" Stand back. " Sensei Lloyd said as he got into a stance. Moe and Zephyr backed out of the way.
"What's he going to do?" asked Zephyr. Before Jadyn could say he didn't know, Lloyd became a green spinning tornado of energy and light that smashed right through the boards that blocked the mine. As the tornado slowed and Sensei became visible again he said
"Well come on, we don't have all day." He walked into the dark mine casually as he put his green ninja hood on. Jadyn followed, glancing over his shoulder to make sure the others did too. Then he also put his hood on, and so did Zephyr, Moe and Lisa. Zephyr was the first to turn on her flashlight and everyone else did as well soon after. Jadyn was glad they did, because after not long of walking the sunlight from outside disappeared completely.
