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

The Speedway Five-Billion...

Aly's POV:

"I'm in."

"Good." I smiled at Seven before she had questions. "But, what is this place?"

"My garage. It's protected by a level 999 stealth barrier. Were you followed?" Scott barked at her. "Who would be following me?" Seven questioned herself.

"Those Red Visor guys." Jay told her, making Scott scrunch his face. "Unagami's been trying to find this place for years." "No, I wasn't followed." Seven slowly told him, but he was cautious.

It looked as though they were having a stare-off until Scott broke it. "Pull your car in before someone sees it." Seven quickly hopped into her car and reversed it into the garage as Jay closed it up again.

Once we were inside, Scott went back to his work bench while we filled Racer Seven in with some extra details I hadn't told her.

"So, Seven, this whole game was created by a man called Milton Dyer, but you know him as Unagami. He's using this game to trap players, but we aren't 100% sure why yet." Lloyd told her.

"The only way we can stop him is if we get the three Keytanas." Nya added. "But to do that, we need your help. We need to win this race." Jay hurried her while keeping an eye on the time.

"You said I was programmed to lose. But that I could break my programming." Seven led on, and I nodded. "What if you're wrong?" She looked worried, but I made sure she wasn't.

"I'm not wrong. You can win if you believe in yourself. I know that sounds cheesy as hell, but that's all it takes." I told her.

"What do you say? Will you help us?" Nya asked her, hopeful she would say yes.

Seven looked to each of us, then nodded. "I'll do it."

We all silently cheered.

But that celebration was cut short when an alarm beside Scott started going off.

"Something tripped the motion sensors." Scott turned to a CCTV camera, and changed the signal.

We all gasped once we saw a swarm of Red Visors outside the garage.

"Red Visors!"

"What do we do?" I wondered, but Lloyd spoke up. "I'll hold them off. You guys get to the race track and win that Keytana."

"Are you crazy? We're not leaving you here." Kai objected. "Yeah, no way, dude!" Cole added.

"We're out of options!" Lloyd protested. "The Speedway starts in 5 minutes and there are too many to—"

"I'll hold them off."

Our heads shot towards Scott, and we weren't sure if what we just heard was real or not.

"I've been hiding in this garage for 30 years, playing it safe. Time to try that hero thing." He smiled at us.

"You only have one life left, Scott." Kai told him, but he knew that already.

"I know, and I want it to count for something. Just promise me you'll beat this game, find Unagami, and you make him set this right." Scott continued as he brought out his gun.

"I promise." Jay turned to him, just as the whole room started to shake, causing various tools and boxes to topple over.

"GO!" Scott shouted, making us disburse.

Jay hopped into a blue jet and started it up, making its neon yellow decals light up.

Lloyd ran up to a large green motorcycle and powered it on, also making it's details glow.
