Ninjago The Lost Deities

Season 4: Only One Can Remain

We have a song in this chapter.

Hmmm, Chen pissed off the wrong person.

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

*Chen's ferry arrives at an island.*

"Look at that." said Cole.

"Awesome." said Kai.

"Let me see." Karlof pushes Kai.

"Do you mind?" said Kai annoyed.

"Wow, it looks so big," said Nalia, amazed, while leaning her back against Lloyd's chest, with his arms around her.

"Welcome to Chen's Island. The Tournament of Elements welcomes its brave fighters. Master Chen will be pleased you've returned, Sensei Garmadon." said Clouse.

"The pleasure is all mine, Clouse." said Garmadon.

"I'm sure it is." said Clouse.

"Definitely feeling some tension between you two." said Jay.

"Yeah, and how is it we're on an island I've never seen on any map?" Kai asked.

"And care to explain how the face to Ninjago's most popular noodle house is secretly assembling an underground fighting tournament?!" Cole asked.

"Master Chen used to be a friend. Now he's a traitor. During the Serpentine Wars, Chen turned against his own kind and sided with the treacherous snakes." Garmadon explained.

"Why would he go against his kind? That doesn't make any sense," said Nalia, raising an eyebrow as she started thinking about the war. While she wasn't there when it happened, she had talked about some of it when she was with Morro.

"The battle you and Uncle Wu fought together in? He was an enemy?" Lloyd went on to question.

"He used deception to divide the Elemental Masters. We barely defeated the Serpentine, and in a deal for his surrender, Chen was to never leave this island. Little did we know, he'd begin to build his criminal empire from here." Garmadon explained.

Nalia narrowed her eyes as she listened. "I'm already starting to dislike him."

"He may have divided our ancestors, but he's not gonna divide us," said Lloyd, taking Nalia's hand.

Kai sees Skylor walking behind him. "Uh... ladies first!" He pushes the ninja aside. "Fire will melt her icy heart. Just wait."

Garmadon sighs.

"Uh, what?" Nalia looked on in confusion. "What does he mean by that? How can a person have an icy heart? Wouldn't they be dead by then?"

"It's just Kai being in love and his way of saying he will charm her," Cole explained.

"Charm her? Is being in love about charming people?" Nalia looked over at Lloyd.

"W-what, no, charming a person is like trying to um..." Lloyd tried to find the best way to describe it, but he was drawing a blank.

"This is a big island. Zane could be anywhere. Keep an eye out." said Cole, saving Lloyd from trying to explain what charming meant.

"So this is the house that noodles built. Ha! Always wanted to go to a Red Carpet event." said Jay.

"Chen lives like a king. Here, he's totally self-sufficient. The only way on or off this island is with his permission, which you have to earn." said Garmadon.

"Great, just great. It's like my cave, but I at least could leave if I wanted to," said Nalia.

"You never told me about this place. How do you know so much about this island?" Lloyd asked.
