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

Nyad...

3RD Person POV:

Nya summoned large water bubbles to assist her up to Wojira. Kalmaar had had enough of her games, and ordered the serpent to charge at the Master of Water. Wojira tried to grab her with her jaw, but Nya leapt out of the way, using her water to attack Kalmaar before landing on the Serpent.

She tried firing again, but Kalmaar dodged it, making Nya jump after him. Kalmaar hit her hard, knocking her back and off of the snake. Wojira went for another attack as Nya caught herself on water bubbles again, ducking and avoiding the attack.

"Uh, teensy problem, guys. I've got a bad leak and no control." Jay talked over his earpiece, but there was no immediate response. "Lloyd? Zane? Anyone?" He tried again, but that caused all his power to fizz out. Unfortunately, the cracks in the glass started letting water in, slowly flooding the sub car.

Elsewhere under the waves, Aly was receiving a faint distress call. "Hello?" No one responded, which made her worry. "Aly, is everything okay?" Lloyd called out over the ear piece. "Uh, someone's trying to communicate but they have a bad signal." She responded while swimming through the flooded streets to find the person. "We'll keep a look out." Lloyd told her, cutting communication and letting her search.

Jay started panicking, and tried to remain calm. "Okay. Okay. Looks like we're going for a swim." He turned to his door, and slammed down the eject button. It only sparked, not opening the door. "Oh come on, why won't you eject!" He yelled while rapidly pressing the button harder, still with no results.

The water was rising up to his chest, giving him less time. "Oh, not good. Think! What would Zane do?" He questioned himself, soon shaking it off due to the benefits of being a Nindroid. "Actually, no. Think, what would Kai do." Jay had a think, and started ramming his shoulder into the glass. "Come on..."

He moved around, and started kicking the door.

But that's when he was finally found.

"JAY!"

"Huh?" Jay stopped what he was doing and spotted the white figure swimming over. "Aly?" "What the hell happened?!" She asked, noticing his car flooding. "Could I explain later, we're kinda running outta time!" Jay shouted, making Aly nod and grab her sword, wedging it between the door and car.

Above the waves, Nya was taking Wojira's attention still, giving Wu and Pixal enough time to get away. "Everyone, listen up! Nya's not going to hold off Wojira for much longer. We need to regroup!" Wu called out, making the others pinpoint his location and speed off.

Lloyd, Kai and Zane started heading for their Master's location, but quickly ran into trouble. A swarm of guards were heading their way. Fast. "Any suggestions, Zane? What's our best course of action?" Lloyd asked, and the Nindroid quickly calculated every option they had.

"I have run three million simulations, and the outcome of all of them is the same. We will lose." He sighed, knowing they wouldn't make it out of this. "Ninja never quit!" Kai protested. "No, but a wise ninja knows when to retreat, and now is that time." Wu explained. "Everyone, fall back."

The Merlopians had reached the Ninja, and were ready to attack. "Fire!" Gripe called out, firing missiles at the Ninja. They managed to avoid it, and they knew their plan. "You heard Master Wu. Let's get out of here!" Kai called out, turning back with Zane and Lloyd behind him.

Wu looked back, seeing how bad Wojira and Nya's fight were getting. "Pixal, we need to get these people to safety." He told her, making the Nindroid look down at the people on board their ship. But there was a problem. "Kalmaar is unlikely to allow us to retreat, and at this speed, we have little chance of outrunning him." Pix stated, letting Wu think.
