Ninjago Headcanons and Oneshots

The Merge: Part 1(NG)

The story won't be fully the same as I'm too lazy to rewatch the entire thing just to type the words out. Hope you understand! Also, the reason for all the timeskips is because this story is supposed to be focused on the next generation of ninja.

---------------------------------------------------------

" It seems strange now, but remember when Ninjago was the only thing on the map? When it was our entire world? I used to spend all my time trying to be like my heroes, the Ninja and their kids. Although I've never seen the original ninja, I've seen their children, and heard about them through stories and legends. But anyway, let's get back on track.

We didn't know what to call it then. It was just chaos. The sky suddenly split apart, and I could see many different realms I had only heard about. My mom called me to come back to the house, as it was dangerous out there, with all the people and cars flying about. I tried to, but before I reached the house, it blew away with my parents. My mom shouted my name as soon as I blew away too. Just before a piece of metal could hit me, the ninja arrived. ' Hey kid, you got lost?' The green ninja said. I could only stare in shock. Cooper, the lightning ninja. Esther, the earth ninja. Erin, the fire ninja. Alex, the ice ninja. Sarah, the water ninja. Jason, the Amber ninja. And Mathias, the legendary green ninja. All my childhood heroes were here in the flesh! When they put me down, I told the green ninja, ' Green ninja! My parents are in that storm! You've gotta save them!'

' That's what we're here for!'

When they flew into the storm, though, it exploded, causing everything to scatter everywhere. As I opened my eyes, I was standing in the middle of my neighbourhood. Or, what was left of it. I was the only survivor in my neighbourhood of the Merge. My parent's bench crashed down behind me, and when I looked up, I saw the green ninja's mask float down onto my hands. Only then, did I know that I had to continue the legacy of the ninja.

Now, I walk the streets with skeleton people, buy food from snail people, sell pies to frog people. Even though everything had been taken from me, I know I must not lose hope. To carry on the tradition of the ninja."

" Arin, not to insult the dreams of my new best friend, but, you're so not a ninja." A pink-haired girl with cat ears said. Arin sighed. " What do you know, Sora? You didn't grow up with them like I did. All I need is a master to train me, and boom! All set."

" Oh, one problem. There are no ninja masters around anymore."

" Hey, er, have you found what we need yet? I can only distract these dogs from barking so long. I don't have that many stories to tell."

" Gimme a sec." Sora rustles through some junk and pulls out a mechanical part. " Boom! And we didn't even set off the-"

The alarm sounds, and security robots come out.

" Halt. Halt. Halt." They said.

" We should probably get going now." Arin said.

" Always like how you think!"

The duo race to the entrance but were halted by the security bots.

" I can take these bots! Niiiinja-"

" You're not a ninja." Sora said.

" Wannabe ninja go!" Arin ran at the bots and did some kind of spinjitzu to knock one of them. He landed face down a few meters behind Sora. " Nice try. You're getting better at that." Sora says as she helps Arin up. Sora said," Distract them, Arin! I'll do something."

" I don't think these bots want to hear my story of the merge."

" Then do something else!"

Arin used his grappling hook to swing up and kick on of the bots on the face. " Up here, you tin can!" He taunted. Sora meanwhile, went behind the middle bot and fiddled with the wires, before pulling something out. The bots suddenly froze.

" Dance dance dance. Dance dance dance." The bots did some kind of dance in front of the two teens.

" Wow. I can never get over how quickly you can hack stuff like that." Arin pulls off Lloyd's old hood and comments. Sora shrugs. " I'm just naturally good at tech stuff. It's been that way since I was a kid." The duo then leave the junkyard and into the crossroads.

< Timeskip cause I wanna :) >

" Last call! Last call to sign up for the Mech Master 5000! The greatest race-" " In the history of the crossroads! And we're here to win it." Sora interrupted a frog at the sign up booth. He smiled. " Sora! Arin! Nice to see you peeps again! Up top!" He high-fived, or rather tongue-fived Sora. Sora smiled. " Nice to see you again, Mr Frohicky!" Mr Frohicky then saw the mech that Sora made.

" No offense, Sora, but that doesn't look like one of your better creations."

" The SA Mark 1 is easily underestimated. Just like us." Sora answered. Arin nodded his head. Mr Frohicky sighed. " Well, I have top mech from all the merged realms participating in today's race. There's an Underworld mech." He gestures to a bone guy sitting in a mech. " Freaky leapy." The bone guy said. " And there's even a-a-a... that thing." He points to a robot saying," Lobbo lobbo." And getting into a mech. " Maybe you want to sit today's race out?" He asked. Sora and Arin looked at each other, then back at Mr Frohicky, grinning. Mr Frohicky sighed. " Fine then, ante up!"

He suddenly smelled a sweet scent of pie. Mr Frohicky opened his eyes and found out that Arin was holding a pie in front of his nose. " No, you're not trying to pay your registration fees with baked goods again." He said. Arin taunted," So, you don't want a fresh pie? Filled with snowberries from the Never-realm? Fine then, I guess we'll have to toss it. Maybe the dogs are hungry, or maybe the raccoons?" Mr Frohicky sighed. " Well, it would be a shame to waste a pie. Fine! Line up!" He took the pie from Arin, eating it in one gulp. The two teens pushed the mech to the line of mechs.

" Ha! They let anyone in these races, don't they?" A girl in a top hat said. Sora sighed," At least we build our own gear, Kreel. We don't have a bunch of servants doing the work for us." Kreel scoffed. " They're not servants! They're friend-ish people who work for me! They're here to cheer when I crush you! Like last time, and the time before, and checks notes." She pauses. " Every single time! You kids don't learn."

Arin retorted," Oh, we learn, we just don't give up." Sora continues," And I might have designed a bit of an upgrade since the last race."

< A super big Timeskip>

Sora and Arin were on the train to Imperium. They sat on the floor with handcuffs. Arin asks," What do you think they'll do to us?"

" Whatever it is, they'll do worse to that dragon." Sora answers.

" Really?"

"The Claws of the Imperium come from Imperium, same as me. And Imperium runs entirely on . With all these merged realms, I'm sure they're hunting dragons everywhere now." Sora said.

" But they say dragon power is safe." Arin said.

" Safe for who? You saw the look in that dragon's eyes. It wanted to be free. Just like I did." Sora retorts. The duo sit in silence for awhile before Arin asks," So, er, I've known you for a while now, but..." " I have no idea." Sora interrupts. " You turned pieces of the SA Mark 1 into a flying mech! In midair!"

" Yeah, that was weird right?"

" Well, that's one word for it. Other words would be amazing, impossible, defying all logic or reason!"

" It was that dragon." Sora said. " I felt it awaken something in me. Some kind of power." Arin starts to get excited. " Powers I've dreamed of having! Like fire, ice, water..." Sora rolls her eyes. " Not everything is tied to your lost heroes you know."

" If I lose hope that the ninja could come back, then I lose hope my parents could come back. Hope is the only thing the Merge didn't take from me." Arin said.

" Well, we can't build you a ninja Monastery from imperium prison."

" It's called the monastery of spinjitzu. But you're right. Dream's over, isn't it." Arin sighs. Suddenly, they hear some shouting from above them.

" Hey, what-"

" Wait, aren't you- no way!"

The top suddenly opens, and Mathias emerges.

Arin squealed in awe. " The green ninja!"

Mathias smiles," I think that mask belongs to me."
