Work Text:
During summer break, Nya and Kai had somehow ended up hiking through a forest in central Ninjago. They had originally planned for it to be a quick one-day hike so they could be back in Ninjago City before it got too dark.
Well, it didn’t turn out as they expected. May I also mention they are hopelessly lost?
“I have a solution,” Kai spoke up as they made their way down the mountain.
Nya sighed, “Thank goodness,”
“It involves fire,” Of course it did, 80% of Kai’s ideas involved fire, which made sense now as he was the Fire Ninja.
“Absolutely not,” They were surrounded by dry leaf litter and other flammable stuff.
“Do you have a better idea?” he asked, tripping and falling over a large tree root and getting leaf litter in his hair in the process.
His sister was quiet for a few minutes, long enough that he thought she wasn’t going to answer.
“...no, I don’t, just don’t start a forest fire, I don’t want to have to explain to the firefighters or anyone else what happened,” she told him.
Kai’s plan was to use his Fire powers to ‘fly’ above the treetops to find where they were and a way out of the forest they had gotten hopelessly lost in (and probably were going in circles around too).
He took off his backpack and jacket, not wanting the weight of the bag and the sleeves of his jacket to catch on fire, before starting.
If a stray ember almost caught a mound of dead leaves and sticks on fire, only for Nya to quickly spray it with her Water powers before the rest of the forest caught alight, you’ll never know (okay, you do now because you were told).
They did eventually get back to Ninjago City before seven PM.
