Lego Ninjago: Invasion

Chapter 5

Kai slowly rested against the log. The two had set up camo not long ago. Misako had left a few hours ago. But dark had fallen and he couldn't get any sleep. He was still concerned about the dragon they heard. Of every threat they'd faced. This was the one that remained the most mysterious. They knew about the Oni thanks to having two members of their number among their team. But he still couldn't get over the itching feeling that something far worse was at play.

"Kai." Skylor started, her voice cutting through the air calmly and cleanly. He could already tell that she knew something was up with him. "You seem worried?" He didn't know what to say. What he felt, how he felt. It was all new to him. He felt like there was something buried deep within, but he didn't know what it was. And that was killing him. "I'm fine Sky." He replied. He was tired, exhausted from the days travel. His mind wasn't functioning to its fullest.

"Something's wrong Kai, I can feel it." Skylor stated, not buying his excuse. Kai sighed in defeat as he slowly sat up. "Those guys, the Moltus, I just feel like they're after me for some reason. I just don't know why." Kai slowly explained, Skylor placed a gentle hand upon his shoulder, her green eyes meeting his amber ones. A small smile formed on her lips, reassuring him that she would always be there for him. "Kai, if they are after you. I vow on my life that I won't let anyone who wishes to harm you come anywhere close to you. I promise you that. I will always be there for you."

Kai slowly smiled, his worry vanishing quickly along with his thoughts. "Now, let's get some rest." Skylor said, Kai slowly fell into her embrace, his thoughts drifting away to others. What where they now doing? Did they know about this threat yet?

Garmadon slowly snuck by, his red eyes glowing as he crept past guards. His ears listening for anyone or anything that might give him away. He swiftly made it into the main fortress of the valley. His eyes sweeping the room before him. Flags hung from the ceiling. Red symbols with black faces of a dragon like face. Red and orange was covered over the place. Black ash covered the walls. Sitting upon the throne, sat Lord Moltron. Garmadon smirked and then, he spoke.

"You are out of your mind?" Moltron slowly leaned forward, holding his staff in his right hand. He narrowed his eyes. "Am I?" He asked back. Garmadon slowly moved in the shadows. "You have no idea who you mess with." Moltron chuckled and slowly stood from his throne. "Do I now. Let me ask you a question." He replied, stepping forward as he laughed lightly. "Who might you be to come into my fortress and question my goals?" Garmadon smirked as he slowly emerged from the shadows.

"I am the eldest son of The First Spinjitzu Master. I am Lord Garmadon." Moltron laughed. His eyes quickly fell upon Garmadon. "You, you think you can come here and challenge me in my own fortress?" Garmadon narrowed his eyes as he formed four swords. "I do as I wish Moltus." Moltron shook his head, watching as Garmadon charged forward. He smirked as he halted Garmadon in his path, he grinned. "You challenge a Moltus Magmatic. The most powerful of the Moltus kind. My magic is unmatched, my brutality unbeatable, my domination of the Lava Realm is total. But you are weak without your forces. Without your Colossus to back you up. Without your full power."

Garmadon shook with anger before Moltron stepped outside, pulling Garmadon along with him. "But I won't destroy you now. No, I'll let you witness the grand downfall of Ninjago before I end your life." Moltron brought him back and quickly flung him, Garmadon smirked before pulling out a parchment. "I hoped you didn't need this." Moltron roared in anger as Garmadon left his sight. "CURSE YOU TO DARKEST PITS OF MAGMAR!"
