Rise of the Snakes: Charlie's Story

Rise of the Snakes

(Here's a low res pic of Charlie, sorry it's so bad)

"Fire strike! Oh, my gosh, is that the greatest move you've ever seen?" Kai said excitedly.

"Stop trying to do it yourself." Cole scolded. "We need to attack as a team."

"Zane, why are you wasting your special attack on me?" Jay complained. "You have to save it. Fantastic, I'm out of lives!"

"But the lesson lives on," Zane said. "And I am getting the hang of it. Hee-yah!"

"Okay, now!" Charlie ordered.

They five ninja we're about to finish the level when Master Wu unplugged the TV.

"Aw..." They moaned.

"Aw, man!" Cole said.

"What? What happened?" Jay asked, confused as to why their game shut off.

"Uncle, it took us three hours to get there!" Charlie complained.

"Why would you do that? Why?" Jay was ticked.

"Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu." Wu scolded.

"But Sensei Wu," Zane said. "Ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace."

"Yeah," Jay agreed. "Peace is boring. There's no one to save, there's nothing to do."

"We can train tomorrow." Charlie said.

"Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today, you know that, Charlotte." Wu reminded.

Cole leaned back. "Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow, so if that's the case..." 

Wu kicked the pizza out of his hand.

 "Ow!" Cole pulled away and Charlie took his hand. Over the past few months since Garmadon's escape, they'd been dating, and Charlie enjoyed every minute of it.

"No pizza for you!" Wu said. "In order to reach your full potential, you must train."

"Uh, remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation?" Kai asked. "I thought that was pretty insane."

Wu shook his head. "Oh. You five have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your golden weapons hold."

Charlie sniffed. She smelt something burning. She looked over at Kai and saw the Sword of Fire had a pizza slice cooking on it. She scrunched her nose in distaste, maybe they were out of shape. She was brought out of her thoughts when Cole spoke up.

"You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out." He used his Scythe to plug the TV back in so the game turned back on.

"Nice." He chuckled.

"Don't worry, Master." Zane said. "We will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns."

Suddenly, Nya burst into the room panting. "Guys, Lord Garmadon, he's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village."

Charlie scrambled to her feet with the other Ninja and raced to the dragon stables. Zane hit his head on the door, Jay clumsily mounted his dragon, Cole dropped his Scythe when mounting his dragon, and Charlie's saddle wasn't tightened so she slid under her dragon.

"Uh, can I help?" Nya asked.

"Sorry, sis," Kai said. "Where we go, danger abounds. This is a job for ninja." He reached for his reins and chuckled sheepishly. "Uh... Uh, a little help? Heh-heh."
