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

Trial By Mino...

Minor recap:

Queen of the Munce:

While Aly's group walked, Jay, Nya and Lloyd met up with the Munce and were taken to their cave. The queen of the Munce (Murtessa), spotted Jay and challenged Nya for his hand. They fought, and Nya prevailed, accidentally becoming the new Queen of the Munce.

Aly's POV:

We had been walking for a few hours by now, and we were approaching a narrow cave with a purple goop dripping from spots in the ceiling. We ignored them and continued onwards, making scorch marks on various rocks as we went.

Kai and I were getting pretty tired of walking, but we kept going in hopes of finding anyone.

We kept on going until Kai decided to speak up. "Ugh, are we just going in circles?" "Yeah, we have been walking for a while." I added.

"I believe my internal gyroscopic positioning would alert me if that were the case." Zane reassured us. "Okay, good." Kai sighed, still holding up his hand and giving us light.

I noticed Zane eyeing the walls, and soon turning to us. "Unless the rock in this cave is ferrous or naturally magnetized." "I hope not." I spoke up. "Well, what would happen if it were?" Kai asked, not knowing.

"Then we would be going in circles." Zane told us, making Kai huff. "Oh, great. Now you tell us?"

We stopped in a large cave as Kai began to look around. "Is everything else alright? Nothing else offline?" I turned to Zane, and he had a quick check of his systems. "Everything appears to be functional. But if anything does occur, I will let you know." He smiled at me, just as Kai started shouting.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"What?"

"We passed this rock an hour ago!" Kai yelled, throwing his hands in the air.

"I knew it, I just said-" Kai stopped talking when someone started singing.

Kai quickly put out his flame, and we all listened for to where it was coming from.

"All Geckles hail.

The saviour of the cave.

She was strong, she was tough.

She was very, very brave."

We looked to the end of the cave to find what looked like three small Geckles. We weren't sure what to do when Kai suddenly pushed me and Zane behind a rock, signalling for us to stay quiet.

We silently peered over the rock and found the Geckles bringing up ladders to reach the purple goop on the ceiling. The creatures were scooping it up in buckets, collecting it

"The great warrior Gilly.

The saviour of the cave.

Left us the blade, about which we rave.

A great blade of ivory was stolen by greed.

Soooo, we won't give up until our blade is freed."

The Geckles stopped singing, so we ducked back down behind the rock in fear of being spotted.

"The moss is particularly plump and juicy today. More moss milk for everyone! Huzzah!" One Geckle exclaimed while another sniffed and dug their face into a bucket.

"Putrid and rotten! Delicious!"

"There's so much today! We should've brought more buckets."
