The Shadow's Mother

Day of the Great Devourer

The team, (Name) and Georgia, who was away from them, watch as Wu stays behind with Pythor.

"You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja, go! Yes." "Pythor, this plan of your is trash now! I am not dying here!"

Georgia slithered away as the Devourer swallows Pythor and Wu.

"Sensei!" "No!"

The Devourer spots them.

"Oh, maybe if we stand perfectly still..."

(Name) jumped in front of them, using her shadow powers to hold the Devourer in place.

"Go boys, I'll hold her off as long as I can!" "No mom, I'm not losing you again! Lloyd needs his mother!"

(Name) looked to her son, tears in her eyes.

"I'll be fine, I'll join back with you guys if I can't do it. Now go boys!"

Kai had to drag Shade away.

"Run!"

The boys all run as Kai continues to drag Shade away from (Name). Jay even tripped. He turned his head and saw (Name) lose her arms before she sank into the shadows. The Devourer sped her way towards him. He booked it to his feet and ran faster than Cole runs for cake.

"Wait! Wait for me!"

Nya noticed the giant snake coming their way.

"Fire up the engines. I said fire up the engines!" "There's no wind. And we only have reserved fuel." "Use it."

The team make it to the Destiny's Bounty. Shade looked very sad, he believes he has lost his mother.

"Uh, hate to tell you this, but objects in the mirror are closer than they appear." "Working on it. Blasters on full." "Whoo-hoo! Take that, you stupid snake." "Uh, I think it heard you."

Jay told Kai as the Devourer missed taking a bite out of the ship.

"Nya, we gotta go faster. That thing is gaining on us." "We're going as fast as we can. I'll try to make it to Scattered Canyon." "Probability of us making it that far is less than 8 percent." "Never tell me the odds!" "It's coming in for another attack. Port side." "We're losing speed. We'll drop to the ground pretty soon." "Throw everything overboard." "NO! DON'T THROW ANYTHING OVERBOARD!!"

(Name)'s shadow yelled as she rose from the shadows. Her nubs dripping blood. But her words didn't reach them in time, for they already started throwing stuff overboard.

"MOM!"

Both Lloyd and Shade shouted as they ran to hug her, when they noticed her that is.

"Hi boys." "(Name)! Your arms!" "We already threw stuff overboard though." "You idiots! She gets bigger the more she eats."

Suddenly the the Devourer takes a huge bite out of the engine.

"Abandon ship!" "Goodbye, old friend."

They all jump off, (Name) used her shadow powers to shield everyone from the fall. When they all landed and (Name) removed the shadow bubble, they watched as the Devourer swallows the Bounty.

"NO!" "Unh, it's gone." "Oh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty." "There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger." "Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight for months, but they're perfect." "Jay, relax. We still have my mother with us." "Yeah, we have an injured and armless shadow user with us. How could I forget that. I SAW THAT DEVOURER EAT HER ARMS!!" "Enough!"
