S1 E12: The Rise of the Great Devourer

The course to Torchfire Mountain wasn't easy, a storm had rolled in and the dark cloud enveloped the Bounty in ravenous turmoil, the sky groaned and roared as lightning lit up the darkness.

Zane walked down the hall towards the bridge passing by the boys room however he stopped and did a double take as he noticed a magenta glow in the dark room.

"[Y/n]?" Zane poked his head in finding the male lingering in the room. However he didn't respond, remaining motionless in the room as Zane approached.

Zane crept closer trying to perhaps see what had him so hypnotised but it was nothing more than their golden weapons.

"[Y/n], are you ok?" Zane reached out and touched the male's shoulder and he jolted to life as if a bolt of lightning had surged through his body.

"Huh?" [Y/n] turned to the white ninja, coming to his senses before looking around slightly confused.

"I said, are you ok?" Zane looked with a sad sympathy at the male.

"Uh.. yeah. I'm fine." He finally answered coming back to his senses.

"Are you-"

"I'm gonna head up to the bridge to see how far we've got left to go." [Y/n] dismissed the conversation however Zane noted how the male holding his side as he left leaving him in a mix of worry and concern.

Meanwhile [Y/n] tried to think, all he could remember was going to bed last night and then... now.

It was as if he'd just woken up.

He would have blamed it on sleepwalking, just another weird quirk to add to the list.

But something about the ominous faint glow under his Gi had him fearing otherwise.

Finally after the treacherous sky voyage the mountain was in sight.

"Will everyone please place their seat back and trade table in the full upright and locked position, we have reached our destination. Torchfire Mountain. Give it a minute while we settle into position." Nya's voice came over the comms like a professional airline hostess as the bounty came to a stop over the volcano burning at unparalleled and unimaginable heats.

"Ugh.. it's roasting out here." Jay gasped slightly as he wiped his brow with his sleeve.

"I second that.." [Y/n] agreed tugging at his collar.

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Kai smirked, his element giving him a natural immunity while Jay spotted Sensei Wu already on deck and staring down at the liquid flames below.

"Hey, what's wrong with Sensei?" Jay commented.

"I do not know, he's been distant all morning." Zane's eyes trailed from the old man to the eldest ninja leaning against the mast. "Sensei isn't the only one."

"Ah.. it is beautiful, is it not?" He commented more to himself than the others as he watch the swirling of liquid rock and gentle movements of lava creating a new artistic pattern with each shift.

"Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the fang blades yet.. you seem disinterested." Zane noted as he and the other three approached each with a blade in hand.

"You do not need my approval to finish the task." He answered softly.

"But Sensei-"

"Butts are for sitting and besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me." Wu cut Jay off with a sudden depressing lecture earning the attention of the distracted ninja.
