The Island (Cole x oc)

The Tooth of Wojira

"Ah! Guys! I see something! I see something!" Jay's panicked scream floated back to us through the fog of the coastline.

The Keepers stood, watching in silent reverence as whatever was out there made it's way closer and closer to Jay.

"Can you describe it?" Nya called out anxiously.

"Can you define 'something?'" Zane probed.

"Does it have teeth?" Cole yelled.

I tuned them out, struggling against my restraints. I managed to wiggle one arm a little loose aaaannndd... Got it! My fingers closed around my pocketknife and I quickly flicked it out, blindly sawing away at the ropes that bound me.

As I stumbled to the ground after freeing myself, I turned and noticed that Kai, as well, was free from his ropes. We nodded at one another and swiftly set to work freeing the others.

No sooner had the rest of the ninja been cut loose than the chief saw us freed from our restraints.

"Stop them!" he ordered.

As Keepers advanced towards us, we cried out in unison, "Ninja-Go!" spinning into Spinjitzu. Knocking the villagers out of our way and proceeding towards the edge of the dock. We switched from Spinjitzu to hand to hand combat as we neared the peer, throwing villagers of the dock left and right.

Nya caught my eye, "You learned Spinjitzu!" she exclaimed.

Cole and I glanced at one another fleetingly, "Yeah, I guess I did."

We hurried down the dock, and as we reached the edge, Zane froze over the water, providing a path for us to get closer to Wojira, or whatever had taken Jay.

"Somebody, help! There's definitely something out here!" Jay's faint cry drifted towards us, "Something big, and snaky, and glowing!"

At that moment we reached Jay, sliding across Zane's ice. But we were just out of reach of the blue ninja.

"Jay!" Nya called to him.

He swiveled towards her voice, "Oh thank goodness! It's so good to see you guys!" Jay bubbled.

Something in the fog seemed to groan, and a huge fireball launched towards us, sending Jay's raft and the ice we were standing on in opposite directions.

"Over there! I see something!" Nya pointed to a shape in the mist. As purple lightning struck in the distance, a crude outline of a sea serpent with glowing orange eyes moved back and forth in front of us. But something didn't quite seem right. I could have sworn I heard some sort of mechanical clicking coming from the being, but I shook off the notion.

Nya collected a water ball and launched it at the creature, but it made no impact on the being.

"What is it?" Kai called across to Jay.

"I don't know, but it's big!" Jay returned, "Get me out of here before it comes back!"

Again, Zane created ice floats in the water and Lloyd hopped across them, landing on Jay's raft where he began to attempt to untie him.

The thing let out a chilling roar as it advanced towards Jay's tiny boat.

"Hurry!" Jay urged.

"Just stay still," Lloyd spoke.

"Lloyd!" I shouted, grabbing the green ninja's attention. I lobbed my pocketknife across the divide. He caught it and started chopping at the ropes Jay was tied with, but another fireball launched by the creature sent Lloyd over the side of the boat and away from Jay. I searched the waves anxiously, praying he was alright. Lloyd surfaced, and just as Jay was saying he thought he could get loose, he was suddenly gone.
