The True Green Ninja

Eighteen

Heads up! This chapter (just like anything I've ever written) will stray from the original plot line. In other words, confusion may occur. You have been warned.

Edit:  I have no idea why this is ranked #4 in Jaya. I don't even remember the last time those two had a romantic interaction.

—————————

Y/n's POV

"He saw us! Go, go, go!" I whisper-shout. The six of us from the future had all just broken into the underworld (we stole a skeleton's truck) and were hiding as future Garmadon and past Garmadon scheme. But they noticed us (thanks to Jay's fear of spiders), and now we've got to take action.

The six of us start to run away from Garmadon, but he sees us and orders the skeletons to attack us.

"Yikes!" Jay shrieks as he sees how many soldiers come rushing out from different angles. "We've got our work cut out for us."

"This wouldn't have happened if you didn't scream like a little girl after seeing a spider," I accuse.

"Ooh, burn!" Kai mutters.

"Let me give you some ice," Zane says in a monotone voice. "I am trained in first aid."

"Not literally, Zane!" Kai tells him, taking the ice cube out of the mini nindroid's hand.

"You know, I think we're outnumbered here," Cole announces.

"Yeah, no sh*t!" Nya replies. "Can someone please come up with an idea?"

"I'm thinking, I'm thinking!" I exclaim. I dodge out of the way of a skeleton's weapon, but I somehow hit Jay in the throat in the process. "Oops, sorry."

He coughs, but he's not able to reply.

"Hey, y/n, you found an off button!" Kai says. "I was starting to wonder if we could ever shut that motormouth up."

Jay's eyes suddenly light up, like he's got an idea. He tries to speak, but it just sounds like a bunch of mumbling.

"You feel a weird sensation?" Cole guesses.

Jay shakes his head.

"You are a weird crustacean?" Zane tries.

Jay stomps his foot angrily.

"Uhhh... your aunt's got constipation?" I ask.

"No! Tornado of creation!" He finally manages to say.

"Um, didn't you guys already do that a while ago?" I ask.

"Yeah, but if it worked then, it will work again," Kai says. "But wait, won't that have disastrous consequences?"

"Stop being a wuss and just try it!" Nya yells.

"Okay, okay!" Cole says, and prepares to do Spinjitzu. "Earth!"

"Fire!" Kai joins in.

"Ice!"

"Lightning!"

As the four ninja start spinning and closing in, Nya and I exchange nervous glances.

"We're about to be in the middle of this, aren't we?" I ask.

She gulps. "Yup."

We both scream as we're sucked into the tornado. I close my eyes as I start spinning around in place, but I open them once I notice a silver light surrounding me.

"What the..." I mutter, confused. I look over to where Nya is suspended in the tornado, and she's surrounded by green light.

A few moments later, the six of us tumble out of the twister. The light fades, and we see that all the skeletons are trapped in a giant gum ball machine.

"Huh," I mumble. "Did not see that coming."

"Guys, did you see Nya? She looked awesome in there!" Jay exclaims, then turns to her. "You were doing Spinjitzu!"

"I was?"

"Yeah, and so was y/n!"

I squint at him. "Have you lost your marbles?"

"No, it's true!" Kai says. "You were both contributing to the tornado of creation!"

"Can we talk about this later?" Cole asks. "I think we have bigger problems to worry about."

We all look in the same direction to see the ninja from the past carrying out their part of the plan, but that's proving to be difficult when we kinda screwed up everything else.

"I thought you were going to steal the weapon while we kept him busy?" Jay from the past asks.

"Yeah, well... things got a little out of hand," Cole from the future replies, gesturing to the giant skeleton gum ball machine.

"Fools!" Both Garmadons yell. "Stupid skeletons!"

"What's the new plan?" Zane from the past asks.

I look this way and that to try and come up with an idea, but I can't think of anything. "Oh, what the heck! Everybody, charge!"

The three ninja from the past and the six of us from the future come running all towards the Garmadons. Everyone but me (because I'm not trained in battle) bust out every single move they've got to knock the weapon out of Garmadon-from-the-future's hand. The megaweapon slides across the stone floor to my feet.

"No, wait!" Nya shouts just as I pick it up.

"What?" I ask as everybody stares at me—both Garmadons included. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

"Nobody can handle the power of all four golden weapons combined," Garmadon from the future says, then pretends to do a hair flip. "Except for me, of course."

I shrug. "In this story, I'm 'nobody', so... maybe that's why? I don't know. Yo, ninja! Blast this thing to smithereens!"

The ninja—not sure which ones—use separate golden weapons to destroy the megaweapon, which shakes in my hand before it goes flying off into space. The next thing I know, we're back on the bounty.

"Hey, it's like we never left," Cole muses.

"Is Lloyd okay?" Nya wonders out loud, and heads to his bedroom. Everyone pokes their head through the doorway to see if he's alright, and sure enough, he's fast asleep on his bed.

"I'm so glad we're back," I say.

"You can say that again," Zane adds, but his voice is deeper.

Everybody turns their head to him.

"Zane, you're older again!" Kai exclaims.

He looks down at his arms. "I guess when we destroyed the megaweapon, it sent me back into my normal state!"

"Thank goodness," Jay says. "It's about time we had our fully functional nindroid back!"
