Legal Necessities: If I owned Ninjago, each season would have over 20 episodes... *sulk*

Aia's P.OV:

"You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer! Go ninja, go!" Sensei yelled as said snake broke free from its prison beneath the Lost City of Ouroboros.
Nya nodded and left in her Samurai mech with Lloyd, but they guys and I hesitated.
The Great Devourer hissed loudly as it plummeted towards the ground and swallowed Sensei and Pythor whole.
"Sensei!" I cried as I desperately tried to run down towards the snake, but was held back by Kai and Cole.
"No Aia. We can't lose you to." Kai said trying to comfort me.
"But- Sensei." The tears streamed down my face and I gulped loudly when I tried to say his name.
I had already lost my parents and I couldn't bare to lose anyone else. But I had to man up and focus on saving Ninjago. Sensei would have wanted that.
I let out one last tear of sorrow before nodding my head and looking up. "I-I think I'm okay now. Lets save Ninjago!"
My friends smiled, their own sorrow still clear on their faces. "Yeah. Lets save Ninjago!"
We were interrupted as the snakes focus suddenly went to us.
Jay gulped. "Maybe if we stand perfectly still..."
"Run!!!" Kai shut him up and we all did so.
We managed to get to the Bounty just in time and took off, the Great Devourer just behind us.
"Uh, hate to tell you this." Jay said to Nya as he pointed to one of the screens at the bridge." But objects in the mirror are closer than they appear!"
"I'm working on it!" She answered as she focused on steering the bounty. "Basters on full!"
"Woohoo!" Kai cheered as we gained speed. "Take that, stupid snake!"
Unfortunately, our gained speed didn't seem to overrun the snakes. Behind us, The great Devourer appeared, even closer than before.
"Uh, I think it heard you-" Jay said, clearly scared.
​​​​​​The bounty barely managed to dodge the Great Devourer as it leapt towards us.
"Nya, we gotta go faster! I think its gaining on us!" Kai yelled as he looked out of the porthole in the back.
"We're going as fast as we can!" She answered." I'll try to make it to Crashcourse Canyon!"
"Probability of us making it that far is of an eight precent!" Zane stated, causing Nya to flip out.
"Never tell me the odds!"
"Its coming in for an attack!" Cole said at the control panel. "Portside!"
Nya steered the bounty to the side.
​​​​​​"We're losing speed" We'll drop to the ground pretty soon!" Lloyd warned.
"Throw everything overboard." Nya ordered.
"What?!" The guys yelled in surprise.
"We need to lose some weight!" She explained.
"Portside!" Someone yelled once again, but we couldn't manage to dodge it this time and therefore lost one of our ballasts.
"Heh, he sure is hungry!" Jay yelled as he threw yet another ting overboard.
​​​​​​I gulped as I looked out of the porthole. "Is it just me or is the Great Devourer getting bigger?"
"The more it consumes, the bigger it gets!" Cole agreed. "Don't throw everything else overboard!"
"We made it to Scattered Canyon." Nya announced. "Hold on!"
Nonetheless, the lost ballast allowed us to reach Crashcourse Canyon.
We used the cliffs to our advantage, and 'weaved' away from The Great Devourer.
"We lost him!" Cole cheered as the snake was out of sight.
We didn't lose him. Just as we thought we lost him, it stroke the flying craft with its tail and we were forced to abandon the ship.
Once we had retreated to safety, thanks to our vehicles, we watched in sorrow as the Great Devourer bit our home in half, leaving the scene afterwards.
"Its gone! Cole said.
Kai sighed. "Ugh, that was too intense. All that action makes you so thirsty!"
"There is no time to rest." Zane lai as he stood up. "We have to warn people before it gets bigger!"
"Bigger?" Jay asked."Bigger?! That thing, with one big bite, just crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can... We need to find a refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Uh, the Serpentine Tombs! Yeah, they're underground, sure, we'll be without sunlight for months but, they're safe!"
Cole sighed. " And what, just give up?"
"You know as well as I do, that we have no chance of stopping that thing!" Jay argued.
"Hey, stop it!" Kai interrupted the two. "Listen to yourselves, is this what Sensei Wu would have wanted? Us fighting, running and hiding? Giving up?"
"But, he's not here anymore..." Lloyd mumbled, causing me to send him a sad glance and pat his shoulder. I knew how he felt.
"But his teachings live on within us." Kai encouraged. " Sensei once told me: Its not the size of an ninja in a fight, but the site of the fight in a ninja. All this training, all these battles we've had with the Serpentine... We've gone through so much, we can't just give up now! A ninja never admits defeat, a ninja always picks himself up when he's down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now!" He smiled at me as he placed his hands on Jay and Coles shoulders.
"But how do we destroy a snake of that magnitude?" Zane asked, his hand still calmly placed on Lloyds shoulder.
"Yeah, its not like we have an extra secret flute lying around and charming!" Jay said. "Or wait, haha, what about one of our awesome dragons? Oh, I forgot. They left us high and dry. Or hey, what about our Golden Weapons which will do nothing against a snake that size! Hehe, we are so hooped!"
"Jay's right. We would need a weapon so big!" Cole extended his hands.
"Or an idea thats even bigger..." Kai thought aloud. "Hah, Jay you're a genius! You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Probably not, but go ahead."
"There's not time!" Kai yelled as he ran away."I'll fill you guys in later!"
"W-where we going, Kai?" I yelled after him.
"We're gonna destroy that snake once and for all!"
