Misty and The Secrets of Forbidden Spinjitzu (Ninjago)

Trial By Mino

~Zane and Kai~

Zane and Kai were walking inside the tunnels, Kai was using his elemental powers to light the way, as he and Zane walked.

"Ugh, are we just going in circles?" Kai groaned they had been walking for a long time.

"I believe my internal gyroscopic positioning would alert me if that were the case," Zane reassured him

"Okay, good," Kai said and sighed with relief

"Unless the rock in this cave is ferrous or naturally magnetized." Zane then added thoughtfully.

"Well, then what would happen?" Kai asked raising an eyebrow.

"Then we would be going in circles," Zane explained

"Oh, great. Now you tell me?" Kai shouted then paused and said, "Wait a second. I've seen this rock before. We passed this rock an hour ago! Argh, I knew it! I just said -" Kai then exhausted the flame on his hand as they heard singing. Soon three Geckles appeared, carrying buckets. Kai tackled Zane behind a rock and they watched as the Geckles collected what appeared to be purple goo from the stalactites from the ceiling. They sang as they worked.

"All Geckles hail. The savior of the cave. She was strong, she was tough, she was very, very brave. The great warrior Gilly. The savior of the cave. Left us the blades about which we rave. A great blade of ivory, stolen by greed. Soooo we won't give up until our blade is freed."

"The moss is particularly plumping juicy today. More moss milk for everyone! Huzzah!" Ginkle cheered

"Putrid and rotten! Delicious!" Garpo added

"There's so much today! We should have brought more buckets!" Another cheered but his movements made the ladder fall.

The contents of his bucket spilled onto Kai. He gagged at the taste, and began shouting, "It's in my mouth! It's in my- Ugh, It's in my mouth! Oh, I'm think I'm gonna barf. I think I'm -" and then promptly threw up, stumbled out from their hidding place and continued to evacuate his stomach onto the cave floor.

Zane sheepishly stepped out from their hiding place.

"Who are they?" Groko shouted

"Outsiders! They must be in league with the Skull Sorcerer!" Garpo added

"Hmm, Aren't all of the Skull Sorcerer's servants evil skeletons?" Ginkle asked

"Right. Yes. That means..."

"They must be skeletons!"

"For skeletons, they seem rather fleshy, " Ginkle said

"We are not working for the Skull Sorcerer. In fact, we've just orchestrated an escape from him and freed several other Geckles." Zane countered he was trying to help Kai recover from throwing up the Red ninja looked a little worse for wear at that point.

"Ha! A likely story, fleshy skeleton." Groko shouted and pointed the broom he had at Kai and Zane.

"We aren't skeletons! I mean, we have skeletons, of course. But - but there's so much more to us. Like veins and organs and stuff." Kai shouted

"I have none of those things," Zane said with an annoyed look on his face.

"Let us destroy them, so we don't have to listen to the lies of these flesh-skeletons!" Garpo shouted and the two others started advancing on Zane and Kai.

"Wait! We should be sure! Let's take them to Chancellor Gulch. He'll know what to do." Ginkle shouted and he ran in front of Kai and Zane to stop the other two.
