Ninjago's Prophecy

17: The War

Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, Misako, and Sensei Wu get on Ultra-dragon's back. I shift in to a snowy owl and we take off. Ultra-dragon leading the way, on his left Lloyd is flying in the mech, I am flying above them. The black cloud over Ninjago city gets bigger and darker as we get closer. Lifting my wings I rise above the cloud soaring on the wind, pulling my wings to my sides I dive through the cloud and drop below Ultra-dragon, who is trying to draw attention away from Lloyd.

In front of me is a huge tower with a stair case spiraling up around it and cannons placed at different levels on the stairs. At the top of the tower the Over Lord has taken over Garmadon's body and become his true form, a black 200 foot long dragon. Lloyd is trying to get in close but is unable due to several different cannons firing dark magic at him. "Need a hand?" I drift in by him and shift forms. I am now in full armor with my moon sword at hand. My favorite part is the wings of light sprouting from my back, they can't be cut or torn and things pass right through them, but I can still fly.

"That's new." Lloyd grunts as he narrowly avoids being hit.

"I'll disable the cannons and then you do what you have to. Ok?" I flick my wings and leave to do my part before he can say anything. This is a full scale war and I will give my life if I have to.

A cannon fires at me but I spin my blade, reflecting the dark magic back and making the cannon explode. I flick my wings and doge a ball of dark magic, only a hair away (literally) from being hit. I fly in, landing on the stairs and run forward to the next cannon. "Jer owa!" I bark and the cannon is torn from its base and hurtled in to the next. An explosion rips through the sky and flaming pieces fall to the ground. Few fires start but soon diminish to nothing. I race down the steps destroying as many cannons as I can. I swing my blade and diminish several Walking Stone men to dust and rubble.

Hearing Ultra-dragon roar in pain I look up and see him flying away with the last few feet of his tail black. No...I can't believe it... the poor dear has been hurt. But that means... I whip my head around scanning the skies for Lloyd.

"GAHH!" Lloyd screeches and I look down and see the gold mech fall as it is struck with a blast of black magic from a cannon.

I instantly flick my wings and flash down the stairs to the cannon that possibly killed Lloyd. I raise my blade and charge, only to stop short as the cannon swivels around on its base to face me. Nya is sitting at the cannons controls. If I hurt Nya, Kai will skin and bury me alive. Spinning my moon sword in a circle I leap of the steps to assist Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Jay, and Zane who are standing on the mech fighting off the Walking Stone men, but failing.

I flick my wings as fast as I can to fly down to the ninjas and help, I hear Nya cackling. Suddenly my flight falters as I am hit in the back with black magic and then fall to the ground. Icy pain webs over me and black magic goo bubbles around me. "LERAY!" Lloyd shouts as Walking Stone men edge around me. My blood boils as gold magic mixes with black, I morph into a Bat of Death or more commonly known as a demon.

(First off, morphing and shape shifting are completely different things. Morphing means you were born with one other form. Shape shifting means you can become many different forms but how long you can hold the form depends on your strength. Morphing forms can be held for as long as you want.)

My armor scales over with inky black fish scales. A long and skinny whip sprouts as a miserable excuse for a tail. Huge bony wings expand and curl distastefully from my back, with a second and much smaller pair of leather wings blow. My skin grows leathery and dark purple. My eyes harden to pure black voids, expression less and death cold. Then over my right eye my signature mark appears, a flashing white scare shaped like a lightening branch blossoms to life.

Oh how I hate this form, a familiar pricking in my blood makes me flash back to when I "served" the Over Lord. Only now do I understand that the pricking is caused by the gold magic in my blood mixing with the black magic.

The Walking Stone men stop and whisper among themselves, shifting like scared mice. I pick my self-off the ground and rise to the height of 7.2 feet tall, my huge bony wings making rattling sounds as they clink against each other. I turn in a full circle and the Walking Stone men kneel down to me. There are advantages to being the Over Lords daughter, and being the leader of his "army." The only other person the Walking Stone men fallow is... me, but only in my morphed form.

"I should rip all of your heads' of and put them on a stick for what you have done..." I speak to the "army" and the Walking Stone me shiver and shrink away in fear. "But I will maybe spare you all if... you help me..."

"Yes, Blood Bringer!" They roar as one. It feels good to finally understand them again, but... Bone Wings... how I hate that name. Opening both pairs of wings I turn on my heel and walk to Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd. The Walking Stone men shuffle aside to let me by. Where ever I place my feet a small patch of ice spirals cold crystals on the ground, making the men shiver away even further.

I reach the ninjas and they stare at me. "L-" Lloyd starts but I cut him off.

"Call me Blood Bringer." I silently hiss to them, then in a commanding voice I say, "Well you fallow me? Lend me your strength and courage in battle?" I lean forward and said so quietly that only Lloyd can hear, "And will you still love me though I am a monster?" I straiten and growl, "I'm waiting, and I don't make me decide for you..." I don't like acting like this but I must not let the Walking Stone men see that I am good now.

"Yes." The ninjas answered and Lloyd adds on, "With all my heart."

"Very well." I turn to the "army" and bark, "Sword up to win! And march!" the Walking stone men file in to rows and charge up the steps around the tower, I take flight my wings rattling as I move them. Looking over my shoulder I see Cole and Jay helping Lloyd, Kai and Zane encouraging them forward.

I close my eyes and then look back at Lloyd, thinking that I might never see him again. Then with a battle cry bat my wings and catapult up the tower and to the Over Lord. Hitting the black dragon with a furious blow, he roars in surprise and fights back...
