Ivory's Homecoming ► Ninjago

24 ≛ Pirate Skirmish

From the same rock that slowly flew to the sky, the Ninja Replacements watched as Soto looked through a monocular.

Zooming in, he found just the ninja he wanted to see wearing a beautiful, white wedding gown with a big skirt and a pure silver necklace. She paced back and forth in the barricaded room, appearing extremely distressed.

"Good news is she be on top," he announced to the others.

However, he then searched around the entire premises and found just about the whole army of sky pirates guarding every post possible.

"Bad news be everybody else and their mothers be guarding below."

"So much for the quiet entrance," Ronin muttered under his breath.

Skylor remained optimistic. "They may know you're coming, but they haven't caught us yet. We'll get you close, you do the rest."

"Don't be noticed," Jay told them all in response. "The minute they see us coming, it's all over."

The group then put their hands in a circle, shouting, "Ninja Replacements, go!" Natasha was the only one who didn't say a word.

As soon as the chunk was close enough to the entrance, the group of seven jumped. They all managed to grab onto the mountain without falling off.

This is where they made their move.

Nadakhan was not playing around when it came to this final moment. He wanted nothing more than to marry Nya and gain his infinite wishes.

And possibly revive the previous love of his life.

They lifted their heads to make sure the pirates weren't looking. Fortunately, they were worried about what was in front of them and not what was behind.

Like spiders, they crawled under the bridge. The pirates above it thought they heard something but didn't bother to go look.

Once moving past that short obstacle, they were in the open field. When two more calmly walked by, the group somehow created a totem pole of themselves. Natasha did not get the memo and just hid behind Jay.

They continued further and hopped onto a smaller platform. The next path was much higher up, and so Ronin whipped out one of his aeroblades.

He searched for another that he had. "What the hell..."

His cousin took two more out for him. In her hands, they both glowed a faint white. Ronin recalled the way they did the same back in their pawn shop in Stiix.

"That is so unfair."

Jay blinked. Since when did that happen to regular civilians?

A calling.

A feminine voice rang through his mind. It sounded like it came from next to him, and he whipped his head left and right. Nobody but his friends were around.

Who the hell was that?

Once the blonde chucked them both into the rock ahead, Ronin did the same. The three blades landed on top of each other in a perfect pattern, creating a ladder of sorts.

She will never discover her real potential continuing like this. Help guide her... please.

Jay shook his head. "What the fuck? What's going on?"

The group had climbed up the weapons without him. When they realized he wasn't behind, they all turned to look at him.

"Jay!" Ronin aggressively whispered. "The fuck's the hold up? Come on!"
