The Story Of Evil (Ninjago Fanfiction Book 2)

Chapter 10

"This thing won't work!" Sophie grumbled in frustration. She ran a hand through her brown hair, super confused.

Kai pops his head through the door. "What's wrong?" He asked, seeing Sophie's frustrated look. "Huh? Oh, hey Kai! It's just, I can't figure out how this phone stuff works," Sophie answered, taping her phone screen in annoyance.

Kai walks over to Sophie and grabs her phone. "Well, first of all, THAT won't work. Just tapping your phone mindlessly is not gonna help anything," Kai stared. He sits down next to her and started to explain the basics.

"That makes so much more sense now! Thank you Kai!" Sophie grinned. "No prob! After all, I'm going to take you under my wing now! Clearly you need some of my big brother help," Kai ruffled Sophie's hair. "So I've decided that I'll be your big brother from now on! That's cool with you right?" Kai asked, looking wisely at the brunette. "Of course I don't mind! I'm in your care, big brother Kai!" Sophie offered her signature smile. "Yup! I'm gonna help you get through this crazy world!" Kai smiled.

"I totally didn't stick to my word," Kai mumbles. "You said something Kai?" Lloyd turns to look at him. "No..it's nothing," Kai shakes his head.

Wu was getting anxious. He could sense their presence yet he couldn't pin point where they were of how to get there. It just made no sense.

Misako was pretty sure something was up with Wu. That he wasn't just anxious because of Acheron and Alter but of something that is affecting him on a personal level. The only thing that comes to mind is the fact that Miranda is dead and she was his wife.

"Wu, are feeling okay? You've been more anxious than normal and I'm worried there might be something else going on..? Like...Miranda?" Misako asks. Just saying the name wanted to make Misako cry, but she couldn't.

"I'm fine. I just feel like I'm failing as a Sensei more and more. I wasn't able to save Miranda...what if I'm not able to save you or the ninja? What if...I'm not able to save Sophie?" Wu questions, looking deep in thought.

"I don't want it to seem like we shouldn't care..but saving Sophie...it's not our battle. You know who's it is?" Misako raises her eyebrow. Wu gives her a questioning look. Misako points to the ninja.

"It's their battle. This one is for sure. They are the ones who can save Sophie. Not us," Misako points. "I guess you're right," Wu looks up at the clear, blue sky.

"It'll be okay. We'll make it through," Misako reassures Wu. "I sure hope that you are right," Wu nods his head.

"I had someone's trust..and I just broke it," Kai stares at the ground. "You're not the only one who broke it," Nya looks up at the sky, a sigh escaping her lips.

"Maybe we'll get the chance to make it right," Lloyd wonders.

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

"I'll start with the Dark Island. Long before even the First Spinjitzu was alive, the Dark Isalnd was called Elveres. It was a place filled with people like me and your grandfather. Not 'evil' as you would call it, but more or less 'bad' people. They weren't perfect, but they were people nevertheless. They possessed powers that we have, and they used them for however they felt the need to. The world was filled in darkness at the time, of course they saw it as a perfect world," Acheron looks up at the twilight sky.

"You didn't sound like you're a bad guy," Alter raises her eyebrow, leaning in closer to hear. Acheron closes his eyes and smiles. "Sophie...the you that's probably locked up inside there would want to hear it from that sort of perspective. A neutral perspective. That's what I'm trying to do," Acheron replies, settling his gaze on the burning fire.

"Then...the First Spinjitzu Master is born. He took out most of the Elvereses on his own. Of course, it wasn't easy. Many survived and retreated to the Dark Island part of Ninjago. Now, they say that the First Spinjitzu Master created Ninjago and it's true. But..he wasn't...fully aware of himself doing it. Like he was sleeping and doing it. So let's say that he woke up and this whole thing of good and evil happens. The people of Elveres hid and tried to defend themselves. It was a very bloody battle and dangerous. Eventually, the last survivors of that place were me and Overlord. When we were born, our parents were already gone, well, at least when I turned 4. The entire population was gone. But we had the stories and markings on the cave walls and ruins," Acheron takes a bite of the marshmallow.

"Eat that later! Tell me what happened!" Alter smacks the marshmallow out of his hand. Acheron shoots her a glare and starts to make another one.

"Rude. Anyway, we learned about our people that way and turns out that we're royalty. Now, the Overlord was super pissed and then went out and let the First Spinjitzu Master-he seriously needs a name-know about his existence. That sprung the never ending battle. I didn't really remember much but Overlord tells me that is was wonderful. Anyway, the point is...

The First Spinjitzu Master killed our kind. He...left us without any sort of family or anything. He tried to do what's right for him and humans but still. I'm mad at him for it. But...taking it out on these ninja will do no good.

The Overlord spent years battling him before he was reduced to a mere voice. He had found a survivor of the land of Elveres. After he left me that is. She was someone the Overlord loved dearly and so they were happy to know that they survived. And then yata, yata, they had a baby but his wife, Glara, died after John turned 13. Which started the more intense version of John. I should probably tell you more about Glara first," Acheron puts the entire marshmallow in his mouth.

"Dude you're the worst story teller ever! You keep on jumping around but it actually makes sense but still!" Alter shakes him by his shoulders.

"Lemme eat!" Acheron says through a mouthful of multiple marshmallows.

"Hurry!" Alter cries out.
