AUTHOR NOTES - Hey guys!! I had some LEGO Ninjago stories I was doing back on the old LEGO Message Boards so I thought I'd put them here on the LMBE as well! So expect a lot of stories suddenly as I'm putting them on here, there will be less frequency in posting them though once they're caught up because I haven't written too much of them yet and it takes me forever to write new chapters xD
Description of Human and Serpentine... Cole and Jason were once very close twin brothers. But after tragedy and bad choices, a 16 year-old Jason runs away never to be seen again. A few years later, Cole has become a ninja and tried to forget the pain and sorrows of his past. But his past returns to confront him in a way he didn't expect.

Human & Serpentine ~ The Story of Cole and The Time Ninja
Chapter 1
"NO!" A young boy shouted in alarm, sitting up in bed a moment afterwards.
The door to the boy's room opened.
"Jassson? Are you alright my sson?" The boy's concerned mother asked from the doorway.
Jason took a couple of breaths, looking around. "I had a bad dream."
His mother walked into the room. Moonlight shimmered from the window onto the navy-blue walls as she navigated her way around the toys on the floor to her son's bedside.
"What about?" She asked him quietly.
Her son hesitated then said in a trembling sort of way. "...P-people were mad at me because of m-my arm."
"Your arm?" His mother asked, her eyes glancing at her son's right arm then she continued speaking in her calm, accented voice. "...You mean your sscales?"
Her son nodded, upset. His mother put her light-blue hand on his shoulder comfortingly.
"T-they were going to hurt me." Her son said.
His mother frowned for a moment then smiled.
"You are ssafe here, my sson," she said. "No one iss going to hurt you here."
"But- but what about at school?" Her son asked. "...Everyone there says I'm a freak. They tease me! They say snakes are monsters!"
"Do you believe any of what they ssay?" His mother asked him gently.
Her son was frozen, too ashamed to nod or shake his head. His mother sat on the edge of his bed.
"...Sserpentine were once enemiess of Ninjago" She said calmly. "They were cruel and viciouss... They sshowed no mercy to the humanss of Ninjago. ...But there are ssome who are different than them, like you and I. And mosst of our kind, the Illussiobrai."
"But.. But if the Illusii- Illusioo- Illusiobrai are good. ...Then why are they scared of us?" Her son asked, quietly.
His mother bit her lip, trying to find a way to explain these things to her young child.
"...Ssome do not believe that the Illussiobrai are good. ...They think we are evil ...Ssome look at us and ssee we are different than themsselvess. ...And they laugh at that... Or they are sscared and frightened of usss and laugh to make themsselvess feel better."
Tears appeared in her son's eyes as he looked at her.
"...But why? ...I don't understand." He asked.
His mother frowned. She couldn't find a response. She didn't have one. Her heart sank as she saw her son start crying softly.
"Ssshh. It's okay. Everything will be alright, you'll ssee," his mother said comfortingly, and then she suddenly smiled as she thought of something. "I know ssomething that will make you feel better. There'ss sstill ssome cake left. Do you want ssome?"
She finally saw some relief in her child's eyes as they lit up in excitement.
"Really?" He asked, wiping the tears from his eyes.
His mother nodded.
"Cake?!" A different young voice squeaked.
Jason and his mother looked across the room and watched Jason's fraternal twin brother, Cole fall out of his bed. Then he got up and raced over to them.
Their mother blinked at Cole. "Have you been awake thiss whole time?"
Cole looked sheepish. "Maybe?" He grinned. "Can I have some cake too?"

"This is so good." Cole said, eating a large mouthful of cake, sitting on a chair in the kitchen.
Jason nodded in agreement, a huge smile on his face.
Ivy smiled; she loved seeing her children so happy.
"Where's dad?" Jason asked.
Ivy frowned; she hadn't been prepared to answer this question. But then she smiled again.
"Oh, he had to go and do ssomething for hisss work. In fact he'll be home ssoon sso run along upsstairss." She said. "I'll try to make another cake tomorrow."
The two boys groaned but did as they were told, putting aside their plates and hugging their mother before they left the kitchen.
Ivy sat there for a few moments in silence, a frown slowly appearing on her face. She heard a knock at the door and she quickly got up and raced to it. Opening the door to find a face she'd seen a thousand times.
"Ivy," a man said bittersweetly.
"Lou!" She replied happily, hugging her husband. "Thank desstiny you are ssafe, tell me about your journey."
Lou entered the house, closing the door behind him and taking off his coat. He looked over at the table and the empty plates.
"Plates?" He questioned aloud.
"Oh. Jassson had a bad dream. I cheered him up with ssome cake," Ivy answered. "Oh and Cole wanted ssome too."
"Bad dream?" Lou asked. "What about?
Ivy sighed sadly. "About him being sserpentine. But he isss alright now. Tell me what hasss happened."
"First. ...Did they eat all of the cake?" Lou asked, forcing a smile hopefully.
Ivy smiled and got another plate out, putting another slice of cake on it and giving it to Lou.
They both sat down and for a few moments sat there without speaking. Lou picked at the cake with his fork. Ivy frowned.
"...Am I right to asssume there wasss no newss about a cure?" She asked quietly.
Lou closed his eyes, heartache and fatigue appearing on his face. "...No. There was none."
Ivy looked down with a quick sigh.
"...It's not fair, Ivy," Lou said, anger seeping into his voice. "You shouldn't have to deal with this."
"I know," Ivy said with a swallow, putting her hand on his arm supportively. "...But it isss what hasss happened. We musst live with it. We musst try to be happy for what have. ..Sspell or no sspell."
Lou put his other hand on hers with a small sad smile. "You're right. We must try to be happy. ...Spell or no spell..."

AUTHORS NOTE - Quick warning, this chapter is kinda sad XP
Human & Serpentine ~ The Story of Cole and The Time Ninja Chapter 3
A few years later...
Cole was still in shock. What had started as a awful day of high school had quickly become the worst day of his life. He looked over at his brother, Jason, who was sitting in another chair looking just as shocked as he was.
Their father opened the door in front of them and looked at them sadly.
"Your mother would like to speak to you two."
Cole and Jason looked at each other, then stood up and entered the room ahead of them with their father close behind them. Their mother smiled weakly at them from her bed as they walked in.
"My ssonss," she said quietly as her children came to her bedside.
"Mom," Cole said with a frown.
Ivy took Cole's hand gently and squeezed it a little. "It will be alright."
Tears appeared in Cole's eyes. "You-you're going to be okay aren't you?"
She gave her son a reassuring smile before letting go of his hand and taking Jason's.
"I love you both... ...There isss ssomething I wissh to give you..." Ivy said, taking a silver pocket watch from her nightstand and putting it in Jason's hand.
"Be sstrong.. ...Make me proud, Jassson." She whispered with a smile.
Jason swallowed, fighting back tears as best as he could but despite his efforts, one escaped and ran down his cheek.
Ivy looked at Cole who tried to smile back to her. Ivy slowly reached her hand behind her head and unclasped the silver locket around her neck.
"..Cole.. Take thiss.. Pleassse... ...Never forget me or how much I love you."
Cole's eyes widened as she put the locket in his hand. He looked inside it for a minute and tears started running down his face. He looked away from the family portrait in the locket to his mother and hugged her gently. Jason followed his lead.
Lou looked down, his eyes wet.
"H-how could I forget you? ...I won't, mom. ..I-I promise I won't. ...I promise." Cole said through his tears.
Jason couldn't manage to get the words out of his mouth but he looked at her with a very clear look. If he had words he would say. I'll make you proud mom. I promise.
"Be sstrong.. ...Make me proud, Jassson." She whispered with a smile.
Jason swallowed, fighting back tears as best as he could but despite his efforts, one escaped and ran down his cheek.
Ivy looked at Cole who tried to smile back to her. Ivy slowly reached her hand behind her head and unclasped the silver locket around her neck.

Human & Serpentine ~ The Story of Cole and The Time Ninja Chapter 4
A few years later...
It wasn't long ago that Lloyd had saved Ninjago from the Overlord. Cole had some time on his hands so he decided to go visit his dad, Lou, who had been at their old house since his dance studio got damaged in the Overlord's attack. When Cole arrived he didn't waste any time and went inside, where he found a note saying that his father had gone out but would be back in a little while.
Cole went through several rooms; the living room, the dining room and the kitchen that he remembered fondly. He passed by a few closets on his way to the stairs, which he quickly went up. He went through the cream-colored hallway past a few doors until he found a very familiar dark wooden door and opened it.
He found his room exactly as he'd left it before he went to Marty Oppenheimer's. The navy-blue walls remained untouched, the couple of sports posters, music posters and maps still attached to the wall. Although the floor didn't have many toys on it, there was still tons of other random things and trash littered upon the floor. A few action figures, a couple of coats and hoodies, and an old worn out box of random posters were still lying there.
All of it was the same, except for a thick layer of dust that had collected in the meantime.
The light blue curtains were open, letting daylight from the window stream in.
Cole walked over to the window and opened it. A refreshing cool breeze washed over his face as he looked down and admired the garden below him. It had been his mother's garden, and although it hadn't been cared for recently, the rose bushes still somehow seemed as vibrant and brilliant as they had always been.
With a frown, Cole looked back in his room. We walked over to the center of the room and observed the mess. He figured he might as well put some of it away.
He grabbed the old box of posters and photos and walked over to the closet to put the box in. As he was raising the box onto one of the closet shelves, a photo fell from the top of the box and landed onto the wooden floor. He made sure the box was securely on the shelf, then went and took the photo from the ground. As he began to reach up and put it back in the box, he suddenly caught sight of what the photo was.
Cole gasped a little, his eyes widening. He brought the photo closer and looked at it in more detail.
It was his family's portrait taken years ago. Cole's father was standing in front of a light cream-colored background, one hand in Cole's mother's hand and the other on Cole's shoulder supportingly. Cole and his twin brother, Jason stood below them. They were young here, around the age of 10. They were all smiling happily, Cole and Jason looking towards the camera while their parents looked at eachother.
He had seen it before. It was the same photo Cole kept in the locket that his mother had given him.
Cole sighed. Everything was so much less complicated back then... He thought to himself.
It was only a few years ago, when Cole and Jason were 16, that their mother had passed away from a strange illness that apparently had no cure. Cole was still shocked that it had happened. There were no signs of this illness, nor was there a cause.
Cole shook his head and closed his eyes, not wanting to think about the sadness of losing his mom. But despite himself, he looked back at the portrait. His eyes drifted over to Jason in the photo.
Jason. His brother. Cole narrowed his eyebrows in confused anger and bitter sadness. Where did he go? Why did he have to run away?
"Son?" a voice suddenly said.
Cole dropped the photo onto the floor in surprise. He looked up from the floor and saw his father, Lou.
Cole forced a smile sadly. "Dad."
Lou walked over to him and hugged him. "I'm sorry I wasn't here when you arrived. I'm glad to see you."
"...Yeah it's great to see you too," Cole said, trying not to sound as depressed as he felt but failing.
Lou noticed this immediately and let go of him. He looked at Cole's face. "Are you okay?"
Cole hesitated. Whenever he had brought up anything like this before, Lou had always changed the subject.
"I was just thinking..." He sighed. "...Where do you think he is now?"
"Who?" His father asked.
"Jason," Cole said, although he found it hard to say his brother's name. "...Do you think he's still a thief?"
Lou was surprised. He hadn't expected this question. After all, it seemed so long since he had seen his missing son. The last time he saw Jason was when they had an argument. The same night, Jason ran away while everyone was asleep and never came back. Lou had still never forgotten that night and the worry that followed, and it still pained him to think about it. Lou thought about this for a few long moments then finally sighed.
He wanted to say a lot of different things about this but settled on one answer.
"I don't know," Lou said in a almost a muttering tone but tried to smile and gently lead Cole into the other room. "But no need to talk further about it. Come on, I'll make some tea."
"Do.. Do you think... that he'd ever come back? Cole said.
Lou stopped in the doorway with a frown and said nothing for a minute, deep in thought, then shut his eyes. "Cole. We talked about this a long time ago. He's gone, and if he didn't come back then, then there's no way he's coming back now. Now if you don't mind, son. I'd rather not speak of it."
Cole sighed then nodded. "Okay dad. I guess I'll take some of that tea, then."
Lou smiled. "That's the spirit. I'll even let you listen to some new Royal Blacksmiths songs while you're here."
"Be sstrong.. ...Make me proud, Jassson." She whispered with a smile.
Jason swallowed, fighting back tears as best as he could but despite his efforts, one escaped and ran down his cheek.
Ivy looked at Cole who tried to smile back to her. Ivy slowly reached her hand behind her head and unclasped the silver locket around her neck.
"..Cole.. Take thiss.. Pleassse... ...Never forget me or how much I love you."
Cole's eyes widened as she put the locket in his hand. He looked inside it for a minute and tears started running down his face. He looked away from the family portrait in the locket to his mother and hugged her gently. Jason followed his lead.
Lou looked down, his eyes wet.
"H-how could I forget you? ...I won't, mom. ..I-I promise I won't. ...I promise." Cole said through his tears.
Jason couldn't manage to get the words out of his mouth but he looked at her with a very clear look. If he had words he would say. I'll make you proud mom. I promise.
oh mai bricks. . . da feels. . .
What? No, I'm not crying! I'm. . . sweating through my eyes! Yeah.

oh, my. . . I didn't expect that pang in my heart. . .
You may take my pain as a sign you're a good writer.
I had some LEGO Ninjago stories I was doing back on the old LEGO Message Boards so I thought I'd put them here on the LMBE as well! So expect a lot of stories suddenly as I'm putting them on here, there will be less frequency in posting them though once they're caught up because I haven't written too much of them yet and it takes me forever to write new chapters xD
