Tales From The Master's Scroll | Ninjago One-shots

The Song Has Ended | Show/AU

I don't know what demon inspired me to write this but I did it anyway. I'm a monster, people! I don't like to write these type of things but I guess . . . . .

~~Dedicated To Kirby Morrow~~

Thank you for all that you've done for this wonderful show even if it's about tiny, yellow, plastic ninjas who never seem to fail in inspiring us, entertaining us, making us laugh and cry and leading us to believe that you don't have to be related by blood to be a beautiful family.

And thank you for bringing Cole to life and making him what he is and will always be - a strong and tough cinnamon roll who loves cake so much, it's ridiculous!

Ninja Never Quit!

I can't believe I got so emotional over a Lego show made for little kids (not when looked into it on a deeper level). Is this normal?

Warning: Contains a little violence, blood and eventually death and gets a little dark at the end.

"COLE!!!"

Nya's shrill cry pierced the bloody atmosphere, reaching every ear in the vicinity. Her hands were bloodied and dust-ridden as they loosened their grip on her spear, the weapon hitting the ground with a meaningless clatter. Her entire world rumbled and crashed down around her, fading away into nothingness as she ran for the Master of Earth.

Her eyes never left Cole's ebony ones which were wide with shock and pain as realization settled in them. His mouth was open in a silent yell and his vision blurred except for the crying girl who ran for him like her life depended on it.

He didn't need to look down to see that he had been impaled by a blade, it's tip dripping with crimson liquid. Unbearable pain seeped from there and spread through his entire body. He uttered a single, sickening cry as the blade was yanked out of him, followed by a sinister chuckle.

Slowly, the pain lessened as numbness took over every part of his being. His ears rang along with the increasing thumping of his heart, the sound of which reigned over Ultraviolet's maniacal laughter.

Nya's scream had caught everyone's attention, villains and heroes alike. Heads turned to watch as the ravenette skidded on her knees just in time to catch Cole's body. Her breathing came in choked sobs as she rested Cole's head on her lap, the latter gasping from the pain invading every inch of his body.

The remaining (former) Sons of Garmadon sneered and jeered at the pathetic scene while Ultraviolet shrieked evily and danced in excitement of her success. But if this was witnessed by the SoG then obviously it was also done so by the Ninja. Time seemed to slow down as they realized the horror of it all.

"COLE!"

The word erupted from the throats of each of the Ninja. Neither of the warriors were composed. They forgot everything because that didn't matter. Only Cole mattered. They ran past their enemies, their eyes trained on the wailing girl and the slowly-dying boy in her hold.

It was too late. The ninjas dropped down next to Nya, forming a mourning circle around Cole and ignoring the pool of blood that soaked the pants of their gis. The Earth Master's breaths were faint and strained as the colour and life left his eyes slowly.

The arrogant yelling and cheering of the Sons Of Garmadon were now an other worldly sound. For the Ninja, the only sounds came from Cole's struggle to breathe and Nya's cries. The black ninja swam in and out of consciousness, his own head pounding too loudly for him to bear.
