Ninjago: The Cursed Crystal King (4)

Chapter 16: THE BATTLE IS TIME TO BEGIN!

Lloyd, already rested, got out of bed, stretching his muscles. The boy yawned and looked at the alarm clock, which was on the nightstand next to the bed. 10.30 p.m.

Lloyd took a slow step into the living room, which was connected to the kitchen. Everyone was sitting in the living room, explaining the last steps of the plan.

- Oh look, who is awake!- laughed Kai, noticing Lloyd standing in the door frame.

- Good evening.- he said quietly with a weak smile. Everyone greeted the boy and sat down on the couch or poufs.

- So, what's the plan.

- The plan is simple. The knights will surround the hospital, so that no one can escape. We, meanwhile, will move in and take cover. We will set off half an hour early to arrive and take up positions. Once the council moves in and this encounter with the traders happens, we will strike. If there are problems, we'll call in the knights, for support. - Cole, as deputy team leader, explained.

- It will be a piece of cake. - Jay said.

- Still, don't underestimate them. There's no telling how powerful they are, carrying the Golden Weapons. They also have (T/N) and her abilities on their side. - informed Wu in a serious tone.

- And we, as usual, have to do the worst job. - muttered Aaron angrily. He didn't know, Lloyd had heard him.

- Sorry, guys. Unfortunately, but you guys...

- Yeah, yeah! We have no power! We're useless, I get it. - Aaron growled at him.

- 'Clay's coming with you, while you wait. - ordered Cole.

- Of course. As usual. - hissed Aaron and left the living room with a quick step. He left the flat and rushed on his hovershield through the city streets, which were empty.

- 'Is he okay?- asked Kai, looking out the window at the leaving knight.

- 'Yeah. It's just, he's missing the action and the adrenaline. - replied Lance.

- 'All right, let's get moving. There's no time to waste. - ordered Lloyd.

- Good luck, ninja. - said Wu.

- Wait! Aren't you coming with us?- asked Jay.

- No. This is your fight, go ahead. - replied the Master with a sigh.

They all reluctantly nodded their heads and left the flat. They summoned their elemental dragons and flew towards the hospital with knights. Aaron also arrived at the site and lay on his stomach and watched the abandoned building from the hill.

The elemental dragons landed in front of the building and their riders jumped off their backs and quickly stepped through the door, which was open inside. The knights scattered and waited for action.
