Lego Ninjago: Invasion

Chapter 10

Nya gently opened her eyes as she woke up. She could hear a light banging upon the front door of the monastery. With a sigh, she slowly got up and walked forward. She didn't know of anyone who would knock this early.

Entering the courtyard, she sighed and opened the door. "Griffin Turner?" She asked shocked. Griffin bit his lower lip. "Are the others awake?" Nya shook her. "Why?" Griffin glanced back fast. "I have a message from Neuro that was given to him from Skylor." He said, Nya blinked and quickly turned around fast. "I'll wake them up."

No more then three minutes later, the other Ninja had arrived in the courtyard. "So, what did Skylor want to tell us?" Griffin looked around. "They were ambushed by Moltus, Someone called Commander Moltar took Kai." The Ninja each widen their eyes before Lloyd spoke. "Where?" Griffin shrugged his shoulders. "Beats me. She doesn't know either." Garmadon soon stepped forward. "They've taken him to the one place that I've been to once. The Molten Valley."

Cole and Zane glanced at each other before the former shook his head. "But if that's were the Moltus are prepping their invasion, it'd impossible to even rescue Kai." Lloyd closed his eyes. "We will do what we must to rescue Kai from the Moltus. Even if it costs my life." The others blinked.

Kai slowly opened his eyes. His hands were chained and he could feel the warmth of the guards. Glancing around, he noticed that the cell he was in was hot, the walls were charred and burned. Any sense of escape was lost on the molten like bars that served as windows. In the corner, he noticed the skeleton of another prisoner. But he could recognise the horns of an Oni easily. And he certainly recognised the skeleton. Whoever it was, or what Oni it was, it had seen a fate worse then death.

The cell door was quick to open as General Selina walked in. Her lips twitched into a grin the second her eyes fell upon Kai. "Warlord Vendence." She started, pausing as she lifted his head up with a single figure. "It's so nice to see you. I do hope my brother wasn't too rough on you." Kai narrowed his eyes as Selina laughed.

"What do you want Selina?" He asked. Selina chucked and slowly walked around him, her fingers tracing over his scars. "My husband wants information. How well defended is Ninjago, what's the status of the Elemental Alliance, the Anacondrai, the Frost Legion, the Order of Protectors." Kai shook his head and narrowed his eyes. "Does he really think I'll answer his questions?"

Selina chuckled as she came to a stop before him. "I doubt he cares. But we have ways to get you to talk." Kai grinned. "And they'll fail, just you'll fail taking over Ninjago, or any other Realm." Selina laughed as she walked towards the cell door. "You better speak, if not for your sake, then for the sake of your adopted sister? Or your nephews sons sake." Kai continued to grin. "You'll find that they're more formidable then they appear." Selina narrowed her eyes. "We'll put that theory to the test, shall we."

Nya slowly entered Ignacia before she blinked and widen her eyes. "Moltus?" She asked as several troops moved about, terrorising the villagers. "Yes, and they don't seem to care what others think." Lloyd said as he stood strong. Nya narrowed her eyes and stepped forward. "Then let's make them care about what others think." Lloyd nodded and with the others, charged into battle.

She was doing fairly well against these tough foes. But she knew that there were more of them within the Molten Valley. She thought they were easy. But she didn't dare say it aloud. No, she left that to her husband. "This is easy. You'd think that they'd have, you know, given us a challenge at least." Cole said. No sooner had he said so, the roar of the Molten Dragon could be heard.

The flapping of wings grew closer and soon, the Molten Dragon had appeared. Upon it's back, was General Meltus. "The Ninja, Ninjago's defenders. How pitiful that they think it's so easy." Nya narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, her spear at the ready. "Who are you?" General Meltus chuckled as he leapt down from the Molten Dragon. He held his blade up ready to fight. "The name's Meltus, General Meltus, leader of the Dragon Riders. And feared for my might."

Nya eyed him closely before charging forward, she was quickly to use her elemental power and fire a stream of water at Meltus. Meltus scream in rage after the blast had hit him. He eyed Nya closely, steam trailing off him and into the sky. "Elemental Master of Water." He started as he cracked his neck. "Warlord Vendence said you'd be formidable. And I'm here to put that to the test." Nya blinked in surprise. Who was Vendence? That what she now wanted to know. Meltus had clearly seen the confusion in her eyes.

"He never told you, did he." He said as he came down to strike her. Nya blocked with her spear. "Who are you talking about?" Meltus went in for another strike but Nya avoided him. "Your Oni friend, the one you call, what's the title." Nya almost lost her balance from another of his strikes before she gained her footing and blocked his next strike. "The Master of Fire, that's it. Vendence, the one you call Kai. I'm surprised he kept it hidden form you lot this whole time."

Nya blinked before Meltus smirked and went to strike once more, only for an Oni to quickly force him back. Nya quickly noted the red instead of black and yellow eyes. But also the reddish white horns. "Oni, I should've expected you to show up." The Oni remained silent as she quickly formed a reddish blue sword. "Do not question me Meltus. Your Dragon Riders shall be next after I'm done with you." She said. Nya blinked before, in a flash, Meltus had vanished, along with his dragon. The Oni quickly turned, and with a quick glance at Nya. Smirked. "I can see why he hangs out with you." And with that, she left. Nya blinked in confusion. But she knew that she'd made an enemy that day, one who rode a dragon. Nya knew she'd need her A game for the next time they fought.
