CHAPTER 39

Author's Note:

Greetings readers! This is a small note to say that I've just posted 3 Universal Deviations chapters! This includes one for Monty, Mage and Sun all at once! I've had these in the backlog to post for awhile, so I would appreciate it if you took time to read them! Thank you for reading, and NINJA-GO!

In the sewers of Ninjago City, the Destiny's Shadow zoomed through the complex network of large pipes and drainage. At the front of the vehicle stood Sun, standing firm with his sword in both hands lowered to line up perfectly with the center of his body. Bandages poked up from under his robes, but otherwise he stood as a knightly symbol on the front of his carriage.

Behind him sat two of his team, Kai and Jay. The two, rather than in their ninja suits, were instead in blue overalls with a large logo of a B and G entwined on the chest. Both were polishing their weapons, sitting across from each other as they did. Behind them stood two of their newest allies: Monty, a ghost they knew little about aside from his desire for guns and capes, and a young boy that had finally recovered from his downing in the previous two battles and was far too eager to get back into the fight. Driving the Shadow was Lloyd, who had discovered the controls to be, oddly enough, identical to the model that he'd received as a present a long while ago.

"Onwards!" Sun declared, "We will arrive at the dropoff point for our mission shortly!"

"Good," Monty yawned, waving his hand back to show his cape had now changed to a deep crimson cape that was designed like a massive V to flare out behind his legs, "Mage, repeat the plan to us."

"Huh?" Mage perked up, "Why me?"

"Because you're the youngest one here," Kai spoke up, "We need to know we can trust a kid to go in and do what needs to be done."

"Alright," Mage nodded his head, "We're on our way to the Nindroid Production Facility. Our goal is to get Jay inside so he can set the 'main production line' to destroy Nindroids so we can gain easier access to the main palace. To do that... let's see, I'm going to go with Sun using my powers to sneak up into Borg's main office so we can get him focused on us. Then, you'll go with Kai and Jay once we cause a distraction by pretending to have captured them to sneak in to the main line and shut them down. If all goes well, the entire plant will be disabled."

"Your goal isn't to defeat Borg," Monty pointed out, "We have no idea what might happen when we get in there. What do you do if you get overwhelmed?"

"Sun and I will fight our way until we get to you and help you complete your part of the mission!" Mage chirped, "Easy plan!"

"Good," Monty nodded to a sword propped up against the side of the Shadow, "Now take that."

Mage looked over to see the sword Aevum, the parting gift from his former mentor Acronix, still on the Shadow from where Monty had placed it. Mage looked over to Monty, then he lowered his eyes.

"I swore that I wouldn't use my time matrix while I was here," Mage raised his hand to show the Time Matrix appear over it, "And, that sword can't even be drawn unless you're using forward. It's... it's not right for me to do it."

"I couldn't care less," Monty stated bluntly, "Take it. If it's between your morals and saving your life, break whatever dumb rule you have. Sun needs you at full strength. That sword will slow down anyone you hit with it. If you won't use it, at least take it so Lloyd feels better."

Mage nodded his head to that, gently strapping Aevum to his back, even if he looked downcast doing it.

"I'd feel a lot better if I wasn't just the getaway driver!" Lloyd replied curtly from the cockpit of the Shadow, "I can help you guys!"
