Ninjago: The Cursed Crystal King (4)

Chapter 25: Rise of the fortress of evil

A/N: I'm writing another chapter, because I'm bored :-P

The knights and ninjas had nothing to do but wait. There had been no call, disturbance or attack by Vengenstone warriors for two days.

This was another reason to be afraid and to hear various scenarios. Another attack coming? Some hidden plan?

The heroes decided to hide in Samurai X's base and trained among themselves, preparing for a possible attack from the enemy. PIXAL and Zane sat at their computers and searched various locations in Ninjago for where they were holding the Borg and looking for enemy army movements. So far, to no avail.

Master Wu, along with Misako, came over to the two nindroids and watched their actions with tea in hand.

- Still no sign of Borg or the army of vengenstone warriors?- Wu asked.

Zane shook his head with a sigh. - Unfortunately no. They're all gone like a stone into water.

- But is it possible, that there is not a single trace?- asked Misako.

- Aspheera. She could have used some kind of spell, that masks their movements. Who knows, what she is capable of when she has her staff. - said the master in a serious tone.

- This thesis, master. It may be correct. However, the radar we developed together with Ava and Robin shows no, signs of magic. - PIXAL said.

- Where could they be?- asked Misako worriedly, glancing at the map of Ninjago, on the screen.

- Literally everywhere. - replied, a passing Saber, carrying a tray of water bottles, cookies and gingerbread on his back.

Saber went to the flat platform, that served as a car park for heavy machinery, but is temporarily being used as a training area for the hero league.

As part of their training, they all fought in pairs amongst themselves. They had to be prepared for any kind of attack from the Council or the werewolves.

- Hey, everybody! I've got something for you guys to snack on. Since... I don't know...you've been training and training, you need to rest.

The warriors stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the lion, who had placed a tray of snacks and a drink on a small stool. They dropped their weapons and sat down on the ground, grabbing their food.

- We have to be prepared for any move from this whole Council of the Crystal King, there's no time to rest. - replied Clay in a serious tone.

- Eh, calm down. You had a lot more time, when Oni, or Monstrox, were trying to destroy Ninjago or Knighton. - replied Saber, sitting down on the ground.

Lion watched happily as the heroes ate the food, he had given them. He liked to do something good for them for once, instead of them doing something good for him.
