Ninjago Fanfic: The Lightning Serpentine

Chapter 21

Beside the Bounty, Nya was building/repairing something while Julien was fixing the falcon with Lloyd beside him. "Every cog, every gear is important. If one piece is missing or out of place, the invention won't work." The falcon stood up, well fixed. "Come now, little one. Time to fly." The falcon swiftly flew up into the sky. "It is like you Ninja. You each serve very important roles and are each key parts to a magnificent fighting force." Wu told Lloyd.

Back at the beach, where the falcon flew, Cole shot his elemental powers to the falcon. "Eat dirt, scumbag!" Zane, being fast and all, stopped the shot. "That is not a coconut!" he said. "Nice reflexes." Cole smiled. The falcon landed on his arm. "Good to have you back, old friend." Zane said, and it flew away.

"If we're all gears, what if I'm the gear that doesn't work? What if I don't do my part? What if I can't defeat my father?" Lloyd asked. You can't, you are too weak to do that. The long gone voice said. "What if there is no more 'What if's? The final battle is almost upon us. When that time comes, we will know the answer to what if, whether we like it or not." Wu said. Nya walked by, "I know you don't want to face your father, but there's no other choice." "But perhaps there is." Misako said, carrying a scroll again. "I used to think that it is inevitable, but then I found this." she put down the scroll.

"You mean maybe Lloyd doesn't have to fight? This I have to hear." Cole said. "The scrolls say that when the Helmet of Darkness is bequeathed to its rightful ruler, the celestial clock will count down to the activation of an unspeakable weapon. The first sign that the final battle between good and evil has begun." Misako said.

"Did you just say unspeakable weapon?" Kai asked. "Uh, I'm sstill ssstuck on what 'bequeathed' meanssss." Yup, no one paid him any attention. "Go on, Misako. Don't let us interrupt you. How do we stop the final battle?" Cole asked. "There is nothing here that explains what would happen if the Helmet of Darkness is returned." Misako responded.

"Interesting. Remove the helmet, the clock starts. Put it back, the clock stops." Wu said. "And the Final Battle never starts." Lloyd added. "Bequeathed, anyone?" Jay asked, "Is anybody gonna help me with that?"

"Uh, that sounds great and all, and I know we have our new powers, but you expect us to get past his whole army of Stone warriors and pluck the helmet off his head?" Kai asked. "My brother's right. They're good, but they're not that good." Nya said. "I know. And that is why I am going to do it. I'll just need a little help."

She signaled the four original ninja to hear her plan. "In order to get past their guards, we need to first get control..." Lloyd started to walk there, but Wu stopped him. "I'm sorry Lloyd, this mission isn't for you." "But I'm all powered up, I can help." he said. "We mustn't let you and your father come face to face yet. We're trying to prevent the final battle, not welcome it." "Yes, Sensei." Lloyd looked down in disappointment. So the Green Ninja can't even help his friends. Now what can you do?

In Garmadon's camp, Kozu was talking to him. "To combat the ninjas' new power, we have honored your request to step up defenses." In front of them were a bunch of vehicles from earlier. "Heh-heh-heh. I like what I see." Garmadon smiled. "Why build your forces, when all of your attention should be on completing the ultimate weapon?" the Overlord asked, appearing out of nowhere.

"What good is an ultimate weapon if I'm not around to use it?" Garmadon asked, "Do not question my motives!" he turned around. "It is not your motives I question,but your resolve. I fear you're hesitating as the hours count down to facing your son." It flew around for a bit. "So, it is true." "Never doubt my evil again!" Garmadon shouted, "Not if you wish to remain my ally when I rule!" he turned to the warriors, "Get back to building the ultimate weapon! And do not stop until it is complete!"

"Yes. Now there is the Garmadon I am counting on." the Overlord said.

Right at the doorway of his camp, four disguised Stone Warriors were taking a prisoner in. The prisoner was Misako. "Unhand me, you fiends." Misako said. General Kozu spoke some gibberish. "Uh, what did he say?" Cole asked. "I don't know." Kai replied. "I believe it is an ancient language." Zane said. "Well, somebody say something." Cole urged. "Uh, bada-bada, bing-bong!" he tried.

"Cheep, cheep, chit-ta-ta!" Kai said. "Tick-tock, tick-tock." Zane said. "Bequeath, bequeath, bequeath." Jay dancced. Kozu looked at them, "Eh?" Misako came to the rescue, "That's right, you caught me. But I'll never tell you where our base is. And you won't hear another peep out of me, unless you take me to Garmadon." she walked forward. Kozu growled, and I think she acted scared or something, or that's real. Nevertheless, he took her across the bridge which was rebuilt.

In Garmdon's tent, the lord himself was lying in bed, trying to get some rest. "I said that I was not to be disturbed." he said as General Kozu walked in. "Forgive me, my lord, but we have a prisoner who knows the whereabouts of your son's rebel base." he explained. Garmadon sat up, looking at Misako who walked in the camp, tied up. "Misako!" Garmadon exclaimed. "It's been a while." She started acting.

"I... uh.." Garmadon spat some words, "Ahem, release her." he ordered. "Yes, sir." Kozu cut down the ropes and walked away. Misako walked near her husband, "Take off that silly helmet. Let me take a good look at you." she said, holding her hand up to take off his helmet. Garmadon kinda swang her hand away. "If you don't mind, I'd rather not." he said.

–Ninja–

"How about this?" Zane was standing up while the others were sitting on the ground. "It's "ice" to see you." "Uh, I dunno. I feel like you could do better." said the Lightning Ninja. "I swear I heard that before." Cole added. "Ugh, I feel like a clunky mule in this thing." Kai said.

Suddenly, Kozu appeared behind them and yelled something like "Get to work!" or "Stop being lazy!" or something. "Uh, is he talking to us?" Kai asked. "I think he wants us to get working." Zane guessed. The general must not like to repeat himself, 'cause he yelled another line of gibberish and pointed to the same place. "Bequeath, bequeath, bequeath." Jay said as they hopped away.

"Tick tock, polly wock." Zane attempted. Cole and Kai said something like "Pi-pi-po-pi-poo" or something like that...?

–Da parents–

"So you know where our son is hiding," Garmadon said, "but I suspect you won't give him up that easily." The prophesied Dark Lord walked over to grab a sword. "I know you too well, Misako. Why did you allow yourself to get caught?" he asked. "Because I know you don't want to fight as much as Lloyd doesn't want to fight." Misako said.

"Lloyd doesn't want to fight?" Garmadon muttered, "Uh, I mean... So Lloyd doesn't want to fight?" he said in a more... evil tone, then laughed. "If you are still the man I once loved, I know you'd never want to see him harmed." Misako tried to reason with him. "But it is foretold. It is our destiny. I don't care about him. I only care about turning Ninjago into my own image." he said.

"Then you're not the man I married. I should go." Misako said, pulling out her last card, a joker. "No, don't." Garmadon said in a truer voice. Misako turned around as Garmadon took off his helmet. "Misako, I may look different, and evil may now course through my veins, but I am still the same man standing before you." he put the helmet beside his bed. "I want you ro rule by my side." he said.
