Ninjago Fanfic: The Lightning Serpentine

Chapter 22

–Ninja–

"Aw, man. No matter how many bad sssituations we get ourselvess out of, we never sseem to be esssscaping choress!" Jay ssaid. The Ninja were bringing in plates of... glittery mud and walking up a hill. "What is that thing?" Cole asked, looking up at some warrior-made wooden roads surrounding something that can't be seen.

"It must be the unspeakable weapon Misako was talking about." Zane said. Seconds later, they arrived at the hilltop. "An elevator, sweet!" Cole exclaimed and begun to walk into the elevator. Then, Kozu bellowed something. "Ugh, relax, relax. Forget it." he said. They walked onto the "wooden roads" and started to complain. "Sheesh. What is wrong with these guys?" he wondered.

After a little while, they passed a canon-like thing. "I dunno about you, but that just looked like some sort of massive canon." Kai said. "What do you suppose it's for?" Zane asked. "Oh, I don't know. How about to destroy usss?" Jay guessed. "You know, mosst of these weird canon things the villains have are to dessstroy us. What's your guessssss?" Jay said. "Huh, fair point." Kai said. Then, a random warrior with a staff like Wu jumped and hit Cole's head with it. "Hey, why don't you bonk someone your own size, half stack!" he exclaimed.

The warrior said something, and flew out of the place with a simple kick. "That guy seriously had it coming." The Ninja of Earth said. "Party time!" Kai yelled. "Ninja-go!" the four shouted, morphing into kimono form. The stone warriors kinda ran up a super steep hill, so much for the wooden road kinda thing.

"At least we get to break the ice!" Zane exclaimed, shooting ice from his elemental blade. "Haha nice one, Zane!" Kai patted his shoulder. "Now you're cooking with gasss!" Jay grinned, and turned around to see Stone warriors in the elevators. "Or should I ssay, electricity!" He transferred his lightning and shocked the warriors in the elevator, which then fell down. "Going down?" he laughed.

"Ssssave some lines for us, Jay." Cole joked, "I wouldn't want us to bowl over the competition." He grabbed a string and made a run for it. The Earth ninja jumped and tried to swing and kick the warriors, but they stepped aside and he flew away. "Oh, this is bad. This is really, really–" he bumped into some wooden buckets. "Bad."

"Let's get Misako and get outta here!" Kai said. "Ninja-go!" Jay, Kai, and Zane activated their Spinjitzu mode and took out some of the warriors who were in their way.

–Elders–

Garmdon sighed, "Misako, I'm glad you finally understand me." Misako was looking at his helmet, "Not many people do, you see." he continued. She walked near the helmet and was ready to snatch it. "Argh, being evil these days is really unappreciated. But you... I always knew I could count on you." Misako grabbed the helmet and walked quietly out of the tent, then the alarm was off, so she started to run.

"Huh?" Garmadon turned around, his helmet wasn't on the pouch. "You deceived me? So much for all the trust... STOP HER!" he yelled. Misako ran to where the ninja were. "You got the helmet!" Zane exclaimed. "And you got spotted!" Misako said. "Cole gave uss away." Jay immediately pointed. "Alright, I've had a rough day. Can we stop laying blame, and focus on what's in front of us?" The Ninja of Earth said.

The ground shook, and they turned around. "Maybe we should worry about what's behind us." Kai said. Behind them, now in front of them, was a giant evil mech with a ticked off Garmadon in it. "Cut them down to size. Mm-hahaha, ahaahaha!" Maybe he wasn't ticked off, maybe he turned crazy.

Nevertheless, he swung his giant mech sword and the Ninja jumped out of the way, the sword stuck into the ground, and he was trying to pull it out. And it worked. "If we do not return the helmet before the clock strikes zero, we won't be ab;e to prevent the final battle!" Misako said. "Don't worry, I'm on top of it!" Jay said.

The Lightning Ninja charged and jumped high up into the sky, "Yah, whoo-hoo-hoo!" he yelled and switched into kicking pose... or well he was going to switch when suddenly Garmdon's giant mech sword caught him. He flew down, but the mech got him... then threw him on the ground which made him bounce once before stopping. Oof. "Aw-oh, maybe not." he said.

"Didn;t his mama ever teach him, 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall'?" Cole asked, activating his blade. How many times was that line used against Garmadon? The Dark lord simply laughed as Cole shot a bunch of rocks from the ground, but Garmadon just hit them away with his sword. "Oh, apparently she did." he said. The mech marched forward, and Kai started to run.

The Red Ninja shot fire in front of them, honestly, it looked kinda awesome. Garmadon laughed and stepped forward, unharmed by the fire. Kai just stood there and looked up. "Oh, great." he said. "Bye-bye!" Garmadon punched him and he flew away to where the others were.

"Uh. Well, we better think of something fast, 'cause..." The Fire Ninja started. Garmadon laughed again. "I'm out of lines!" he said. "Hey!" he jumped up as the Earth Driller dug behind him and appeared out of the ground. "Whoa, it'sss Nya!" Jay exxxclaimed. Nya drove the Earth Driller and charged at where the stone warriors were, they flew away and she turned, striking Garmadon in the process.

She stopped the vehicle, "Hey, guys!" she said. "How did you know we needed you?" Jay asked. "Look up." Nya replied, pointing up to a certain falcon. "Get in!" her expression turned serious. The five jumped in the car, "Hang on!"

–Lloyd–The Green Ninja was staring at a scroll, the prophecy of the Green Ninja. How long has this prophecy started? A decade? A century? 'One Ninja will rise above the others, and become the Green Ninja. The Ninja destined to defeat the Dark Lord.' Lloyd wondered how long it would take for him to defeat his father, it's just... so weird that he's trying to prevent the Final Battle, yet still reading about its prophecy.

Just... destined, it didn't sound so much like a word that really assures that he'll win. It's more like: The only Ninja who could stand up to the Dark Lord and probably win. The voice has been gone for a while, but every once in a while, it'll come back, and beat him with doubt. Even though his heart told him he's calm, he's not.

Sometimes, Lloyd found himself trying to prove him worthy of the title. Was it because of the voice? The new power? Or just the anxiety to get this over with? BOOM! The Green Ninja heard a crash. Dang it, gotta go!
