A GreenFlame Twist

Dragons Rising Season 2 Episode 10, Rising Ninja

A/N: I try to use as much of the actual dialogue and character actions from the episodes as I can. I'm sorry if I get anything wrong, it is purely unintentional. Also, I do not own Ninjago and credit for all show dialogue and characters goes to their owners.

The sky is a dark, bloody red. The Blood Moon hangs in the sky, dipping closer and closer to the horizon with each passing second.

Lloyd watches from on top of a rock as Nya gets thrown through the air, landing with an audible thud on the ground. Cinder grins evilly and uses his smoke powers to move into a position above her. As he prepares to strike though a bright red blur flashes through the air, grabbing him and carrying him away from Nya.

"What is that?!" She exclaims, tracking the blur through the air.

Wyldfyre points at it and shouts in excitement, "It's Kai!"

Above them, Kai throws Cinder to the ground before landing in front of Nya and Wyldfyre. His Rising Dragon flashes by Cinder before disappearing as the gray haired man turns to look at him in shock.

In front of the Shadow Dojo, Ras looks up from the scroll he's been reading from, "Rising Dragon Technique? Impossible!" He says as he puts away the scroll.

Before he can do anything else, Lloyd shoots an Energy ball at him, knocking him back a step. As he looks towards Lloyd, the Green Ninja launches off the rock he's standing on, twisting into Spinjitzu as he attacks Ras.

Kai and Cinder face off in front of the portal. With a smirk, Kai says to Cinder, "Nice trick, right?" He drops into a fighting stance as he continues, saying, "Wanna see more?"
He twists into Spinjitzu before morphing it into Rising Dragon Technique as he rushes towards Cinder who then attempts to use Shatterspin but is countered by Kai's Rising Dragon. They exchange blows as behind them Lloyd and Ras fight.

Lloyd sends blast after blast of his energy towards Ras, but the tiger-man dodges and jumps away from each of them, landing on all fours every time. Finally he turns and catches two blasts on his hammer. Then he runs towards Lloyd and attempts to hit him with the hammer, but Lloyd dodges it and flips up and over his head, rapidly firing off more energy blasts towards him as he lands. He then twists into Spinjitzu once again to exchange blows with Ras. Eventually Ras knocks him back and forces him out of his Spinjitzu.

Sliding backwards Lloyd puts one hand on the ground to stabilize himself. He looks back up at Ras as the tiger-man grins and says, "You are too late! The ritual is nearly complete!"

Panting, Lloyd glances over to where Kai is beating the shit out of Cinder. With a surge of pride, Lloyd turns to Ras and says, "Your Shatterspin warrior's met his match, and the Blood Moon's almost passed!" Ras growls and flattens his ears as Lloyd continues, "Even your sacrifices are gone!" Straightening up, Lloyd looks at Ras and says in a confident voice, "Yeah, I'd say the ritual's almost over, and you failed!"

Ras grunts and says, "All I need for a sacrifice is an unshattered soul!" An evil grin spreads across his face as he continues, "And I know just who to use."

Lloyd drops into a fighting stance, expecting Ras to try and use him. But instead the tiger-man grabs his hammer, turns, and throws it straight at Kai who barely has time to raise his arms up in front of his face before it hits him and sends him flying towards the portal behind him.

Lloyd is frozen in shock and terror as he watches Kai fly at the portal. But then Riyu leaps after him. He squeaks in fright as the portal pulls both of them towards it, and he whips around, sending his tail in Kai's direction as the Fire ninja barely manages to grab onto it with one hand. Riyu flaps his wings with all his strength, trying to pull them both to safety. But carrying a fully grown adult is a lot harder than a young teen, and he can't manage to pull away.
