Lego Ninjago: Invasion

Chapter 8

Kai and Skylor walked along peacefully. "So, who was that guy and what Dragon was that?" Skylor asked after the long hours of silence. Kai sighed and stopped. "Let's set up camp and I'll tell you." He replied. Skylor nodded and the two walked out.

Once they had set up camp, Kai sat down and closed his eyes. "I was born long before Ninjago was created. I'm as old as The First Spinjitzu Brother. He is, like my half-brother in a sense. A twin, I was born of Oni blood, he, he was born of both worlds. But their was also a third child, one who was of new blood, he came several decades after us. He was called Typhon." Skylor nodded, her eyes reading Kai's face for anything that might help her understand.

"When The First Spinjitzu Master, Kaneshiro Garmadon, fled to create Ninjago, I was assigned to hunt him down. Among my forces, was Mistake. But, I didn't realise just how beautiful and wonderful the land was he created. So, with Mistake, I betrayed the Oni, killing all of them alongside her and Kaneshiro. But I returned to the First Realm." Kai said, Skylor looked into his eyes and saw something more in them. Hurt, pain. She couldn't tell.

"I was then tasked with preparing the Lava Realm for the Oni invasion force. I lead the advanced force. I carried out my task with determination. The Lava Realm, it wasn't as wonderful as Ninjago, it was barren, lifeless. The Dragons that inhabited the land were unrelated to those of the First Realm. They were called Molten Dragons. And the leader of The Molten Armies Dragon Riders, was General Meltus. The one we encountered. I battled him briefly. But went on to battle Lord Moltron, their leader." Skylor widen her eyes, she was hearing what Kai was like before hand. And she, she was shocked.

"But rather then admit defeat and submit to the Oni, Lord Moltron destroyed the Lava Realm. If it weren't for the fact that the Lava Realm had two sister Realms, things would've been catastrophic." Kai kept his eyes shut as he felt a tear roll down his face. "And now Ninjago's been caught in a battle that should've never happened. A battle that remained unfinished for over a thousand years." Kai winced his face to the side as he sighed. "It's my fault that they've come here. I endangered Ninjago, I doomed it with my actions. I should've remained within Ninjago, perhaps then, none of this would've happened." Skylor could now tell what it was that she saw. Hurt and pain were clear, regret for his actions. She wasn't sure how to progress.

"Kai" She began, pausing as she moved to his side. She could see a small hint of yellow in his amber eyes. It was small, but there. "Even if you did remain in Ninjago, this would've still happened." Kai shook his head and leaned back. "No, I was a fool Sky, I was a fool. I played right into his hands, I failed to foresee the danger that came, and now, now Ninjago's going to pay the price for my actions all those years ago."

Lloyd walked back and fourth. His arms behind his back. "How are we going to find Kai and Skylor?" Cole asked. His eyes shifting towards Lloyd. "I don't know Cole." He replied. Jay and Nya sighed as Zane glanced out the window. "Perhaps we may find a way." He said, Nya blinked before she widen her eyes. "Kai produces heat right?" She asked. The others nodded. "Then why not scan for large amounts of heat?" Pixel blinked and quickly started to type. "There, Blackwood Forest." Several dots around Kai's heat signature quickly appeared. "And they're in trouble."
