Ninjago City has been through a lot, but they could always count on their heroes the ninja to keep them safe.
But it's been a week now and things were only getting worse. Almost the entire police force and law makers were locked up in prison, anyone who had strong association with the ninja were being hunted like animals, the S.O.G were hurting and abusing the common kind people of ninjago, no one was allowed in or out of the city.
Everyone under Garmadon's command were looking for the two remaining Ninja and the dragon riders with them, but thanks to Pixel they used the old warehouse where she stashed her Samurai X backup gear to hide and regroup.
Moral was overall low though. Misako, Nya, and Pixel put focus into helping Lloyd regain his powers and recovery. Meanwhile the remains dragon riders were all in different states of unrest.
Astrid wanted vengeance. She never stopped training, sharpening her axe, and pushing herself to her limits. When she did sleep it was restless and fitful a scowl on her features. She wanted to avenge Hiccup and all her friends who died at the hands of Garmadon and Harumi and she would get it. The only thing stopping her from going out and getting her revenge was because she still had enough sanity to know fighting a demon god with no plan or magic wouldn't end well for her making Hiccup's sacrifice in vain. Stormfly was obviously worried about her rider, but Astrid wouldn't listen to her.
Fish-legs was grieving the loss of his friends. He blamed himself for crashing into Snot-lout sending him onto the path of the ship, blamed himself for not even trying to get close enough to try and rescue someone from the doomed vessel. Pixel told him that if he had tried Meatlug wouldn't have been able to fly away fast enough anyway to get out. Right now Fish-legs was just doing his part by going out with Dareth to try and find supplies and food. It hurt him to pass by the helpless and scared citizens of Ninjago and do nothing. He knows Hiccup would, but he's not Hiccup. Meatlug was his only comfort during these times.
Meanwhile then there was the last dragon rider separated from their other half. The lone Thorston twin was in denial and insisted their dead twin was still alive, but whether or not they truly believed it was up for debate. They obviously weren't doing well not having their other half around as they constantly fidgeted with their hands or would look to their side.
Right now Astrid and Lloyd were training together trying to get Lloyd's powers back, but it wasn't working.
Lloyd was sad, mopey, and all around looked like he had already given up. He didn't want to fight in a stupid sparring match.
Well Astrid wasn't having that.
"THAT ALMOST HIT MY HEAD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"
Lloyd yelled at Astrid as he had barely managed to dodge the swing of her axe.
"She's trying to kill my son we need to stop her!" Misako yells. "Don't worry she won't actually kill him," Nya assures Misako. "Actually she probably will," said the lone twin less Viking.
Nya takes a deep breath and turns to them. "I want to say you're being helpful...... but seriously Ruff nut I am this close to killing you," Nya said putting her fingers together to show how close she was to killing Ruff Nut.
Ruff nut shrugs uncaring when the doors open and everyone looks over seeing Fish-legs and Dareth returning empty handed with no food. "It's freezing in here," Dareth complains. "Which means they'll never look," Misako said. "Did you manage to bring back anything?" Astrid asks pausing in her fighting with Lloyd.
"I managed to hide a sack of fish, but we'll need to wait to make sure the coast is clear before I got back for it," Fish-legs answers. "I got an old puffy pot sticker! I was saving it, but you can have it Lloyd," Dareth offers genuinely just trying to be nice, but at the sight of the pot sticker Lloyd gags. Even the nearby dragons made disgusted sounds at the sight of it.
