The Story Of Evil (Ninjago Fanfiction Book 2)

Chapter 15

Alter grips herself tightly, the pain starting to become unbearable again. Alter bites her lip, rather annoyed with herself that she let herself become so vulnerable. Acheron looks over at Alter, concern flooding his face.

"Sophie...are you sure you're okay?" Acheron asks, getting some more pain killers.

"I'm fine," Alter grits her teeth, trying to keep the tears that are dotting her vision from falling. "You're not fine. Take some pills," Acheron hands her the white pills with a glass of water.

They had just gotten back from the jungle after the failed mission. Alter was mad but Acheron shrugged it off.

"I can't believe I let myself get injured like that," Alter groans, taking the pills. Then shuts her eyes and grits her teeth in pain. "It happens to the best of us Sophie. It's not like I escaped without any," Acheron replies, looking at his arms that were filled with scars.

"But I'm the reason we came back. We failed...because of me," Alter replies, anger lining her voice.

"It's fine Sophie. We are more powerful than them all," Acheron reminds her.

"I guess you're right," Alter replies, crossing her arms and leaning back in the chair. "Exactly, now just relax. You'll need your strength," Acheron reminds her as he gets up and walks over to some place.

"Do I have to turn into a different personality? I'll heal faster that way," Alter suggests. "That's a bit risky. But if you change into the Overlord, that might be different," Acheron replies, turning around again.

"Can't promise who I'll be," Alter shrugs. "But I'll try to be the Overlord."

"Go ahead, and come back as soon as you're healed," Acheron nods, turning around again. He pokes his own scars while waiting.

Alter closes her eyes and leans back. She lets herself be dissolved into the other two personalities.

In here, Alter is just a gray ball. Her personality was right in between the black of the Overlord's and the purple of Sophie's.

She turns to her right and sees the purple ball trying to break free of the two personalities holding it back. On her left she sees the black ball trying to overtake the entire purple.

Alter could feel the pain starting to grow less and less. She closes herself off, in attempt to speed the healing process. The gray will blend if the black takes over but will go away if the purple is able to full control again.

Acheron stands, looking away in order to give a sort of privacy. He wasn't sure if it was something that needed it, but he didn't want to be rude.

Acheron turns around at the sound of shuffling. He comes face to face with the red eyes of his brother.

"Ah that's a relief," Acheron breathes out, leaning against whatever was in that darkness.

"Be careful. Without Alter, it is harder to keep Sophie from taking control again," Overlord warns him.

"It's you who needs to be careful, not me," Acheron shrugs.

"Well don't put me in a situation where I'll need to work twice as hard," Overlord rolls his eyes. "You're as annoying as ever."

"Why thank you brother! Although I don't know what to do now..besides not do anything because of your situation," Acheron sighs, he rubs his temples with his hands.

"Just focus on getting me my own body. All we need is that stone and we could just erase Sophie from this body. Making it mine," Overlord says.

"That's just what we tried to do. In case you didn't know, we didn't get the Chronos Steel," Acheron reminds him.

"Or...you could have Sophie take control. Injure her to the point where it's close to death, then I could take over and it could temporality give me much more control," Overlord suggests.

"Your options are really gruesome," Acheron chuckles. "It's fun that way," Overlord shrugs with a smile.

"Let's do it then," Acheron nods his head in agreement.

"How did we just let them escape?" Lloyd groans as his stomach starts to hurt again.

"Dude you're really injured. Just ignore that for a moment," Kai says as he hands Zane another bandage. Zane takes it and wraps up the deep scars on Lloyd's stomach. After doing that, Zane moves on to bandage Nya's arms.

"Thanks," Lloyd mummers, putting his shirt down. Kai hands Zane another cotton filled with rubbing alcohol. Zane dabs it on Nya's scars then wraps them.

"You two took the worst of it," Zane notices, backing away and putting the bandage back in the container. "That's not the most worrying part. We only delayed them from getting the Overlord back," Nya reminds them.

"You two need to heal and then we can worry about that," Kai reminds them. "Or you can sit out for a while."

Jay and Cole walk in. "You two okay?" They both ask. Lloyd and Nya nod their heads. Jay holds Nya's hand to reassure her that everything will be fine. "How bad was it?" Cole questions, his arms crossed.

"It's like she's completely disappeared now.." Lloyd mumbles, messing around with his fingers. "What are we going to do? Who knows what else they'll come up with to try and get the Overlord back," Nya asks, holding Jay's hand tighter.

"It would not be wise for the both of you to do anything right now," Zane advises them, pointing to their injuries. "Besides, Sophie was heavily injured and there's no way she's all healed up right now," Kai adds.

"So right now is just a still time. We don't do anything and they don't do anything," Jay says. "So just focus on healing you two. We'll worry later," Cole adds as his eyes looking distant.

"Now what do we do?" Misako groans, sitting down on the chair. After Acheron had disappeared with Sophie, the ninja returned to the Bounty in order to heal up. Right now, Misako was afraid of what's to come.

"I don't know Misako...I don't know.." Wu's voice trails off as he messes around with the silver ring on his ring finger.

"One thing's for sure, they've got another way to get the Overlord back..even if it's just for a little bit," Misako says, knowing that it's true. Wu looks at her, confused on how she could be so certain.

"What makes you say that?" Wu questions. "I had this dream...Miranda was in it and told me," Misako answers grimly.

A/n: school's terrible...I got no time to write at all.
