The Water Bone Demon (LMK/Ninjago)

The First Encounter

Macaque and the two children arrived at the bottom of the mountain that they had seen from the city, the walk had taken longer than they expected and small streaks of golden and red light already crawled over the land, the sky was a mess of red and orange and the air around them was comfortable warm. Now they were standing at the bottom of a long staircase.

Mei tilted her head back and looked up, she whistled "that's a lot of steps" she said with an impressed tone looking at her best friend who only looked mildly impressed by the amount of stairs "oh please Monkey King had me run the steps to his Temple of Shame up and down Ten times in a row, this is nothing" the brunet declared.

Macaque smiled at the two kids "bold of you to assume that we are going to walk" he said and the next second he exploded in purple smoke and there was a black and red eagle, MK looked at Mei and then to the eagle "you go ahead, I'm gonna walk with Mei" the monkie kid said wrapping his arm around his best friends shoulder who beamed at him happily. The shadow eagle smiled "alright kiddo, don't take to long" and with that he took of to the sky aiming directly at the Building, not even bothering for the Wall surrounding the Building and the Yard infront of it.

Mei and MK waved as they saw the black eagle disappear "Thanks for taking the steps with me" "Thanks for coming with me on this adventure" they shared a laugh and started walking up the steps, the girl looked at the boy next to her.

She knew his smile and joking attitude was fake, a mask to hide what was truly hidden behind, she knew it but she didn't say anything not about how his tone was slightly off and not how his smile didn't reach his eyes. The walk was mostly silent, not a weird one it was one of those walks that didn't need conversation. From time to time the Dragon Girl and the Monkie Kid shared a look and smiled at each other.

The Master or water stood infront of the cave leading to were the snakes should be. Her hair was back to its black color and her eyes returned to gray, her follower stood behind her hands in his pockets. Nya simply smiled as she went in the mouth of the cave, stone and dirt crunching underneath her feet's as she went deeper into the cave until she reached an opening.

Standing on an elevation, she looked down at a large area filled with snakes- she saw blue, green, red and yellow snakes all standing in groups facing forward. Those snaked looked still very human, they had arms and legs only their body's were covered in scales, the only snake that stood out from the rest was the one sitting on a big throne made of rocks and bones, unlike the others it had a snake like appearance, purple Scales and big fangs hanging out from it's mouth. The snake was holding a staff formed like the body and head of a snake in it's hands.

Nya looked unimpressed, the man behind her stepped next to the black haired woman whose eyes flashed blue.

Pythor Was sitting on his throne looking over his army's of Hypnobrai, Fangpyre, Constrictai and Venomari they were all under his control thanks to the staff. His red eyes took in the sight before him, an army of snakes. All waiting for instructions.

Pushing himself out of the throne Pythor began slithering back and forth his Ruby colored eyes always on the troupes before him "I know what you want" he said toung flicking slightly as he spoke "you want revenge" the cave broke in Applauding cheers and battle cries.

Pythor looked around a pleased look on his face "REVENGE ON THE..." he paused when something caught his eyes, a silhouette standing on the other side of far up on a Stone hanging from the cavewall. He squinted his ruby eyes and then they were as wide as a full moon "NINJAAAA" he screamed pointing his staff to where he had seen the intruder. The snakes broke up in even louder cheers, Pythor slapped his hands across his face "No! NINJA over there!" he screamed again.
