You were getting a feeling that the bond between you and the ninjas was starting to fall apart.
They were not doing this purposely but it was because everyone was growing up fast.
Nya, who used to talk with you about machinery, was now a kunoichi of water.
Kai, whom you used to banter with you started to only greet you with a nod.
Lloyd, whom you used to share your love for comics had suddenly grown up.
Cole, who used to be your foodie buddy, suddenly decided to stop overeating.
Jay, who used to always start a prank war right after your first prank, decided it was best to ignore what you did.
And finally, Zane and Pixal, who used to take care of your well-being, were now nowhere to be seen.
The ninjas were all busy in their own missions.
And so were you.
You had a higher position over the the police of all the Ninjago.
You were an NPS Officer. Ninjago Police Service.
At an age when you should have been in high school, you were already regarded as a respectful and lawful officer.
You were respected by people older than you as well.
But during your free time, you are considered to have a childish personality that seeks attention of any kind.
Well you used to.
It had been a year since you met the ninja.
You left them after you realised that they won't be able to give much time anymore to each other, including you.
"We need the Commissioner!" Out of nowhere, the red ninja, Kai, barges into the police station.
"He's not taking any visitors." The officer in front of him monotonously replies.
"But it's important." Cole urged.
You kept a hand on the officer's shoulder and looked at Cole, "Is it about the Sons of Garmadon?"
"[Name]--!" He shook his head, "Yes!"
You looked at the officer, "Send them in."
"Yes, ma'am!" He saluted, guiding them in.
"Thanks [Name]!" Nya greeted you with a hug. "It's good to see you."
"Yeah..." You didn't really feel the connection between them again.
Nya noticed the distant look on you and let it be for now, following others to the office.
"[Name]!" You looked down to see a toddler beaming down at you.
"Eh?" You picked him up.
"Yippie!!"
"Master Wu?"
-
In the end, you had arrested the princess and the other Sons of Garmadon members, but after that, Garmadon in the end did return and attacked the police station.
The princess who was put up for questioning had a jail break before even going behind the bars.
And thats where all the chaos began.
With the police officers and you being completely overpowered by actual powers, you all were put behind the bars.
And within months, the whole city had collapsed.
Thankfully, the ninjas had saved the city again, along with the resistance.
And then came the difficult part.
Reunions.
In order to thank the ninjas, you all threw them a surprise party with the famous band that played the Weekend Whip.
And it was really difficult to stay hidden from the ninjas, when Nya and Pixel kept pulling you in to join them.
Despite your refusal.
"Its so good to see you again!"
They gave you a group hug.
"Yeah..."
The reason you couldn't meet them in the eye because they had changed so much.
Kai was more goofy like Jay yet still cocky.
Lloyd was more mature now than before.
Nya and you didn't really have anything in common anymore.
Zane and PIXAL were now together again which didn't really bother you.
It was nice to see Pixel actually here.
Cole had regained his love for cake.
And Jay was...
Still the same but more chaotic.
Reconciling was not really part of your nature.
They were so different now that it seemed like you were facing people whom you didn't know anymore.
You always liked to move on from your old friends since they never stayed in touch.
You are not used to this.
"Madam-sir!" An officer saluted you from behind.
"What is it?" With one glance, the officer was trembling in fear already.
"T-The crowd is getting out of hand so what should we do ma'am?"
You sighed.
From relief and disbelief at the fear the officer was showing.
"Barricade the area so the crowd doesn't get out of control. Make sure they are 10 meters away from this area." You left with him without waving goodbye to the people with whom you once lived.
"She's quite busy isn't she?" Jay nervously laughed.
"Not as busy as we were, Jay." Zane added, "We hadn't met her for over a year because of our missions."
"We didn't even notice that she moved back to her apartment." Kai rubbed the back of his head.
Nya sighed, "Not only that, we didn't really keep in touch as well."
"Her behaviour is understandable," Pixel interjected. "We had grown a lot in a year, and it's difficult for her to reconcile when we have been away for so long."
Cole looked even worse, "She didn't even hug me like we used to."
"Forget hugging her!" Lloyd dragged his hand down to his face, "She did not even look at me! She was acting as if she had never met me before."
"It kinda felt the same for us as well, Lloyd." Nya frowned.
They didn't like it one bit.
You used to be closer to them.
Now it felt like even though you were close, you were so far away.
And not only that, you have changed a lot since then.
Thats okay though.
They will get used to it.
Because only after being so far apart from you did they realised their deep love for you.
The feeling of you not being beside them had only made them miss you so much.
Even if you didn't like or love them back didn't matter anymore to them.
Their love for you surpassed those emotions already.
You didn't have a say in this anymore.
Part 2?
For those of you who don't know what a NPS (Ninjago Police Service) Officer does, they are primarily responsible for maintaining law and order, preventing and investigating crimes, and ensuring public safety. They lead and manage police forces at the state and central levels, encompassing roles in law enforcement, intelligence gathering, counterterrorism, and public order management.
