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

Return to Primeval's Eye...

Aly's POV:

We now had a clear mission; get back our vehicles, and go save Lloyd. But before we headed out, Pixal had a gift for us. Some new armour. It was simple, but would hopefully help us with whatever we were going to face out there.

It didn't take long for the seven us to set off, and head to Ninjago City. But, seeing as we had no vehicles, we had to walk, which wasn't too fun.

Ninjago City:

Once we arrived in Ninjago city, it was nightfall, which was perfect.

We snuck through and around the buildings of our city, eventually spotting the Bounty hovering over what looked like an impound lot. We stealthily made our way towards it, eventually making it to the top of an adjacent. We shuffled to the edge of the building, and looked out to see a police impound lot, with our vehicles parked inside. There were two guards on patrol, so we waited for our shot.

"I know, I know."

"Someone was always breaking in there. Compared to that, this job will be easy as cake!"

"Yeah."

"Heh. Cake." Cole sighed, lost in thought before I nudged him. "Focus, Cole." Nya spoke up, taking his attention. "Right. What's the plan?" He wondered, coming back to the moment. "Get to your vehicles. Don't start your engines until I give the signal. Then race to the gate as fast as you can." Nya instructed us, giving us a clear and solid plan. "What about the Bounty?" Jay asked as Nya pulled out a grappling gun.

"Oo! Good plan!" Jay smiled before turning to us. "On three. One-" Just as he was about to start the countdown, Nya shot the line, making us all turn and watch. The hook attached itself to the ship, and soon pulled Nya over to it. "Uhhh." I sighed, watching Nya swing onto the boat.

"Okay, guess we're not counting. Let's go!" Jay called out, flipping up his hood while the rest of us did the same. Zane walked to the edge, and looked out for guards. Once the coast was clear, he signalled for us to move.

We jumped off the edge of the building, quietly landing in the impound. Each of us rushed to our vehicles, and climbed inside. I ran up to my bike, climbing on while getting settled to the controls again. I looked over at Zane, and he was about to get in his jet when a light suddenly shone in his direction.

"HEY!"

I instinctively ducked down, still watching Zane carefully as he put his hands in the air. "It's one of the ninja! What do we do?" One of the officers asked, clearly nervous. "Stay calm! Call it in, quick!" The other officer shouted, his light drifting away from Zane.

He tried to reach for the cockpit again, but the officers light shone back on him. "Uh, this is Joe at the impound. We got a-" Suddenly, something must've happened because the Officer yelped and stopped talking.

"Gentlemen, I apologize."

I stood up on my bike, and spotted Master Wu? He helping us. He whipped his staff around, knocking the torch from one of the officers to the floor. "Master Wu!" Zane gasped. "Please note that I hold officers of the law in the highest regard. But I'm afraid I have no choice." Wu started backing the officers up into their station room, and once they were inside, he closed the door, blocking the handle with a chair.

Now in the clear, we all readied our vehicles to leave. "Well, guess there's no point in being discreet anymore." Kai sighed, powering up his engine, making it roar while deactivating its camouflage. "You can say that again." I smiled, doing the same with Jay and Cole soon following.

"I thought you were at the Sam X Cave with Pixal and Skylor." Zane spoke up, talking to Wu who sighed. "I stayed behind when you broke into Borg Tower to rescue Nya. I chose the letter of the law over my conscience. I was wrong, and now the threat has grown." "I do not question the urgency. I merely wanted to say, it's good to have you with us." Zane explained, and I could see a faint smile creep onto Wu's face.
