Clouse chuckled darkly as he stared at the key to getting out of the Underworld. Sure, it came at a price...but he would do anything to get out of here and seek revenge against the Ninja. It would allow him to do anything from reviving his mortal form, raising an army and possibly gaining a new companion to rule by his side. However, he could focus more on that later after all...he had more pressing matters to attend to.

Those fools must have forgotten its existence after locking down here. It did have security, but his magic was more than enough to take care of all of them. Now he could finally do his one goal without being held back by Chen.

"Hm...Which page is it on?" He asked himself as she slowly turned the pages until he finally spotted the spell to allow him back into the mortal realm. It would be painful, but he would never pass the chance to take over Ninjago and finally get rid of those annoying ninja. Though...one did come into his mind during his long stay here. The red one...the annoying one who could control fire. He couldn't get him out of his mind no matter what he attempted.

He was like the stars. They were so bright and always seemed so far out of his reach...yet always so beautiful. He was about to think more about the fire ninja before shaking his head in order to stay focused. He needed to get out of here, take control of Ninjago and destroy the ninja...except for the fire one. So he started to recite the spell to escape while visions of his control of Ninjago flashed through his eyes.

At the same time, Kai sneezed while playing against his sister's boyfriend, Jay. Normally, they would be fighting against another enemy, but things have been pretty peaceful for the most part. However that didn't mean that they should slack off from their training since anything could happen at any given moment.

"Are you catching a cold again, Kai?" Jay asked with some concern. Kai had good control of his fire, but when he is sick...things always got chaotic. Since there was a high chance that anything could catch fire without any control from his side whatsoever. 

"No. I think that someone was just talking about me or something." Kai said. 

"Okay, but make sure to tell us when you get sick...we don't want a repeat of what happened last time." Jay said while Kai rolled his eyes before getting back to their game. Meanwhile, Nya was sitting with Cole and Lloyd who were talking about concerns involving her older, but dense brother.

"How does your brother keep attracting weirdos?" Cole asked. 

"I don't know. He has always attracted the wrong type of attention from people especially the bad guys." Nya said.

"It gets worse that he is dense about this short of thing." Lloyd said.

"That's because he wasn't interested in romance when growing up since he had to take care of me. He had to make lots of sacrifices to make sure that we weren't on the streets. I'm thankful, but you don't know how taxing it is to keep him away from creeps." Nya said.  

"Like that guy who wanted a private interview in a hotel room?" Lloyd asked. After the last mission, a random guy approached Kai and tried to convince him to head into a hotel room. Luckily, Zane managed to get Kai away from that situation before he stupidity agreed. 

"Exactly. Who knows what else could be in store for him if we don't keep an eye on him?" Nya asked. The other two nodded in agreement while planning to keep Kai safe from people who would take advantage of him. Never knowing that their greatest threat to Kai was back in the mortal realm. 

"Yes! I have succeeded in returning!" Clouse yelled as he stared at his new form. Sure it was different from his human form, but he could feel the power pulsing from his very soul. Not to mention that he also housed the book that make his power become immeasurable. However, he had more important things to do like rising his army. 

Look out Ninjago...Clouse has returned and will stop at nothing until everything is taken in the name of him. And this time....

Nothing will stop him...not even those pesky ninja.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter...Bye 👋
