Lego Ninjago: Invasion

Chapter 1

Maya slowly sat down next to Ray at the table. Her eyes shifting over her daughter and son in-law. "So" Maya began. "How's life been?" Nya shifted her position, taking a mouthful of noodles. "Great. Rough on the edges with Kai living here, but great never the less." Replied Jay. Maya nodded slowly, her gaze sweeping over the many objects gathered round.

"I can see that there're boxes sitting around." Ray stated, his gaze falling upon Nya. "Yes, Kai has been planning to move out." Maya eyed Ray, a small grin forming upon her lips. "Is he now?" She asked smugly. "Yeah, got a job working at a Noodle shop. He's running the Ignacia chain. And, well, he's been given a small hut to live in behind the store. Actually, that's the reason we have these noddles." Nya explained.

Ray smiled lightly. "I see, so. Grandchildren." Nya and Jay reddened greatly, causing Maya and Ray to chuckle. "Dad!" Nya exclaimed, embarrassment laced in her voice. "Dear, try not to embarrass them. They have only been married for a few days." Maya said, winking at Nya.

"Thank you mother." Nya said, her body relaxing as the impending tense talk was avoided. "But aside from that, what do you guys plan to do now that Ninjago is at peace?" Maya asked, her eyes lifting as she took another bite of her meal. "Relax, enjoy life without having to save everyone." Nya knew that the peace wouldnt last.

Garmadon moved to the side as he avoided a spear. His red eyes narrowed as his hands glowed a light purple. Moving fast, he slammed into one of his opponents. Turning quickly, he blocked another strike. The ground slowly started to shake as a larger foe walked into view. The dark metal glimmered with the reddish orange glow of his body. A large singular green eye studying him with great interest.

Garmadon formed four swords without hesitation. His red eyes locked upon his new foe. Charging forward, he leapt into the air. The foe lifted his hand, flinging Garmadon away with little to no effort. Shaking his head, Garmadon slowly stood up. "I'm going to need more strength." He said. His eyes locked upon his foe. Channelling his power, Garmadon shifted his form.

Now appearing as his Oni self. Garmadon grinned. His foe stepped back slightly before shaking his head. Garmadon ran forward, leaping into the air before slamming his newly formed staff down. Watching with satisfaction, Garmadon stepped over his fallen foe. His eyes sweeping the area for their leader.

Slowly stepping forward, Garmadon glanced over towards a gap in the trees. He noticed black marks. 'Someone's burned their way through here.' Garmadon glanced down. His eyes focusing upon the footprints. 'It appears they were followed as well.' Stepping forward, Garmadon started to follow the tracks. Unsure where they lead to, or who they belonged to.

Kai fell upon the couch, his eyes closing as he let out a deep breath. "Busy day Kai?" Nya asked. His left eye opened slightly. "You have no idea." He replied. His eyes falling upon the many boxes. "Well, we gave mum and dad your cover story. I still cant believe that you're leaving to travel with Wu and Misako." Kai slowly leaned forward. "I know, but Ill be back. Hopefully with more knowledge." Nya nodded. "When do you leave?" Kai slowly stood. "Tomorrow, I'll be headed to the Monastery where I'll join up with Wu and Misako before we head out."

Nya closed her eyes, opening them a few seconds later. "Remember Kai, were always happy to have you". Kai nodded, his eyes falling upon Jay. "I think Jay wants to talk with you, I'll be in my room." Kai left shortly after. A small smile planted upon his lips.

Garmadon slowly broke into a clearing, his eyes sweeping the area before falling upon an Oni resting in the centre, surrounding her were several of these warriors. Narrowing his eyes, Garmadon spoke. "Face someone who can fight back." The warriors turned to face him, one of them speaking with gurgles and crackling. Garmadon formed four swords, his eyes falling upon the Oni in the centre who had now stood up. He could see the yellow eyes upon her face.

Charging forward, Garmadon sliced down upon four of the six warriors. His eyes glancing over the remaining two before a bright reddish blue sword sliced their heads clean off. Garmadon slowly came to a stop as he eyed the female Oni. "Who are you?" He asked. His eyes falling over her. "None of your business." Garmadon narrowed his eyes. "You are Oni, like me." She stopped, her eyes sweeping over Garmadon. "Yet I could care less for them. The Omega was a fool, just like you, thinking he could rule over this place."

Garmadon clenched his teeth in anger. "How dare you." She quickly forced Garmadon to the ground, her eyes sweeping over him. "You're weak. My father can fix that for you, all you have to do is pledge loyalty to him." Garmadon chuckled before he forced her off him. Standing tall, Garmadon smirked. "I have faced death and lived. What can you father offer me that I cannot simply take?" She paused, her lips grinning. "You're Garmadon, the eldest child of The First Spinjitzu Master, no wonder you're so weak, you're not fully in power. "

Garmadon narrowed his eyes. "And you?" She chuckled. "You'll find out in due time. But consider this offer. Find my son and join us. Or find him and hand him over to me and watch Ninjago burn to ash." She quickly turned and vanished, leaving Garmadon to his thoughts.
