The Split Element- Book 1 (Ninjago: Zane X Oc)

Once and For All...

3rd Person POV:

Akita had waited by the mech for a few hours, trying to come up with a plan. Once she had one, she picked up Aly's sword, and set off for the ice castle.

It was just up ahead, so it shouldn't take too long. But a violent storm had been brewing, and Akita was caught in the middle of it.

Thankfully, she bore through it, and arrived at the base of the castle. She noticed a couple of Samurai at the door, and quickly hid the sword under her cape before transforming.

In her wolf state, Akita rushed up to the samurai, acting very playful to throw them off guard. Then she transformed back, and grabbed their arms, throwing them aside so she had easy access to the door.

She rushed inside, and quietly traversed the halls in search of the throne room.,

But little did she know that her brother and friends were close by, also in search of the room.

Aly had explained what Zane was now capable of; how he could freeze anyone permanently, and how unbelievably strong he was.

Lloyd understood that this would be a challenge, but he kept hope they would succeed. "Which way is the throne room?" He asked. "To the left. But we can't go there yet. There's something we have to take care of first." Grimfax stated.

But that's when they heard something from behind them.

"Hide, quickly." Aly told them.

The four of them quickly jumped up an ice spike, and hid on a beam in the roof.

They quietly watched as a small group of Ice Samurai walked beneath them.

The team tried to stay as quiet as possible, but Kataru accidentally slipped, and caused a small pile of snow to fall to the floor.

The Samurai turned to see what the noise was, and they all stayed quiet.

They were about to look up, when Aly quickly used her powers to control the samurai.

It put a strain on her, but she managed to send them off, so they could continue.

Aly regained herself, and the group touched back to the ground, running down a separate hall.

"Vex has a shard of corrupted Ice. It can see everything in the realm. If he has it, we won't make it to Zane in one piece." She told the others, making them stop.

"Can you not control it, and bypass its power?" Kataru asked, but Aly shook her head. "I didn't create it. I can't do anything to it." She told him, making the team go quiet.

"We must destroy it then. If we do not, there is no hope of victory." Grimfax added.

"How do you know he isn't watching us right now?" Lloyd wondered. "If he were, we would already be caught." Grimfax told him. "We must hurry then. Which way?" Kataru asked.

"That way, come on." Aly led the team down a hall, as they continued to the throne room.

But Unfortunately, she had unknowingly sent the Ice Samurai to where Akita was.

She heard their footsteps and hid, waiting for them to leave. Once they did, Akita travelled down various halls, in search of the room.

While all this was happening, the Ninja had found the Land-Bounty, and miraculously got it up and running again after an unfortunate run-in with some wolves.

Kai and Nya were taking charge of the vehicle while Jay, Krag and Cole hung out in the back. Cole had decided to take a power nap, while Jay and Krag were playing videogames.
