Ninjago Fanfic: The Lightning Serpentine

Chapter 24

–Wu–

The mentor was waiting at the clock, soon, the ground rumbled. He looked down, the Ninja have arrived.

Nya looked at the Celestial Clock, "Wow, this clock is a mechanical masterpiece." she said. They jumped outta the Earth Driller. "You're welcome to dismantle it once we stop it." Misako smiled. "There'ss only a couple minutesss left!" Jay pointed out. "Everyone, look for the helmet's perch! It could be anywhere." Misako instructed.

The Ninja went onto the clock, then started searching, "You don't know how to return the helmet?" Wu asked. "It has a resting place somewhere." Misako said. She tried to simply put it down on the clock, it's still moving. "Oh, that didn't work." she muttered, took the helmet, then jumped to the top. "Maybe here." She put down the helmet, but nothing happened. "Perhaps I found the perch!" Zane called, putting his hands up high.

He got the helmet, then tried another spot. "No. Wrong place." he said. "Oh, what about here?" Jay jumped and pointed. He put the helmet on a round-thingie, which looked like the most reasonable place yet. "Could this be the place?" Wu said, and when he was catching, Kozu pushed him out of the way and got the helmet. "No!" Kai yelled.

"There's only 30 seconds left. I believe it's time to die–" the clock bonked the helmet and it flew outta his hands... A warrior started to run after it, "Get the helmet!" Misako said. "Right!" Cole responded, running after it. He jumped, climbed, panted, then jumped again, getting closer to the helmet. At last, Cole jumped to where the warrior was and hit him away, succeeding the task of getting the helmet.

Then he slipped, the helmet flew to where the Ninja and stone army were standing, two warriors jumped but Jay set the ball like it's a volleyball and Zane set it again, higher, making it fall right next to the perch. Misako gasped, "The helmet's perch!" she exclaimed."There's only 10 seconds left!" Wu said. "I'll get it." she said, then a warrior stood in front of her. "Hiya!" Wu kicked him away. "Hurry, Misako!" "Okay!" She did a front flip and landed perfectly next to the helmet.

Misako took the helmet and plugged it in the perch at the last second, and it sank down like a mechanical switch. The clock stopped, "Nooooo!" Kozu yelled. "Ah, It worked!" Lloyd threw his hands up. "We did it!" Nya exclaimed, giving her brother a hug while the others were cheering. The Ninja jumped up and down, Wu and Misako looked at each other and Jay and Zane high-fived.

Suddenly, the clock moved again. "No!" Wu said. Kozu laughed. "The Horns of Destruction. We were too late." Misako comfirmed. An alarm started to sound, even Garmadon heard it. "Overlord,  what has happened?" he asked. "It has started." Garmadon gasped. The clock spewed light and reflected itself through a telescope thing and shot to where the Ultimate weapon is supposed to be.

"What is that thing?" Garmadon asked. Beside the clock, the warriors started advancing on the Ninja, but the ground cracked. A line was cut between Jay, Nya, and the rest of the Ninja. "Jay!" Cole yelled, "Cole!" Jay yelled back. "Sis!" Kai yelled. Kozu caught her. "Ugh, let her go!" Jay kicked him. Kozu kicked back. "Or what? Your friends will make a big splash?"

The big rock tilted. "The ground!" Cole said. They jumped off the rock and fell into the ocean. "Nooooooo!" Jay yelled, then activated his elemental blade. "You!" He landed a strike on Kozu, and the dude let go of Nya but managed to kick his blade off the mountain. "Jay, what'll we do?" Nya asked, looking at the army. "We fight." Jay said, taking a spare screwdriver from his pocket. First thing he did was stab a warrior in the eye.

–Ninja–

Lloyd was pulled onto dry land, and they all looked up, where Jay was stabbing warriors in the eyes and Nya was punching her way to safety. Cole picked up Jay's elemental blade, and looked back up. "This is all my fault. I should've taken the shot." he said. "We're all at fault, kid. It's just the way the cookie crumbled." Cole said, looking at Lloyd. "Don't tell me you're still making jokes. They have Nya, and you're making jokes?" Kai growled and tackled Cole to the ground. "It was just a poor choice of words!" Cole protested.

"Enough, we have lost enough. We don't need to lose our focus." Wu said. "Forget focus, we need to get my sister back!" Kai jumped. "By the time we get back up there, they'll be gone." Misako said. "We will get your sister, but the clock has reached a zero and the final battle could start at any moment. We must head back to the Bounty to get prepared so that next time, you will not hesitate."

The Green Ninja nodded. "Come on, Lloyd. Let's go home. You will get your chance." Wu said, walking away with the team following sadly. Cole looked back at the cliff, what if he can control the mountain, and... "Let's go, Cole." Zane said with a look of sorrow, "We will get them back."

–Garmadon–

The Dark Lord was walking near the light. "Behold, the Ultimate weapon." the Overlord said, "I give you Garma-Tron!" Garmadon walked across the wooden bridge, and looked at where the light was shooting. "It's more beautiful than I could ever imagine!" he exclaimed. He started to laugh, and there goes another round of sinister laughter.

–Time skips–

It was dark, Jay couldn't see anything. "Psst, Nya." he whispered, hoping she was near. No sound. "Nya?"

–Garmadon–

The celestial clock shot another brilliant ray of light, and Garmadon covered his eyes. "Behold, my final gift for you: Garmatron!" A red and black vehicle appeared from the light. It has canons and a bunch of weapons, perfect for an ultimate weapon. "It's... It's beautiful." Garmadon said again, this time, because of the vehicle. "We've retrieved your helmet," Kozu announced.

"and two prisoners, my Dark Lord." Behind him, was Nya in the hands of two warriors. "You'll never get away with this, my friends will put a stop to you–" she said. "Where's the other one?" Garmadon asked. "Here." Kozu pointed, two other warriors held the Lightning Ninja, who's kicking and trying to snap them with his tail. "Oh, a prisoner and a betrayer, you mean." Garmadon laughed.

"Haha, red doesn't seem to be your color. I think it's time we try on a darker shade." he put an apple in her mouth. "Hand me the Dark matter. I believe we've just found our first test subject." he said. The warriors put her head near the plate of glittering mud...
