Hey guys! This story was a request from NinjagoZ! The idea belongs to her, I just wrote it.
I do NOT own Ninjago. I can dream, right?
The platform was too high. Zane felt himself sweating as his deadly false self was staring at him with no conscious.
If it fell and got broken, the others would think him dead.
The copy tackled him from the top of the drop on the cliff. Just as he guessed, it pushed him close to the edge, and hit the ground in a ragdoll manner. Dead as a door nail.
The real Zane was now tumbling across the steep slope of the cliff, and he wasn't done rolling. That cheap copy was easily broken, but he can't withstand a drop from here to the bottom.
He felt himself fall into a crevice, he refused to open his eyes and take the pain as the element of suprise.
Flashback
The guys were currently playing boggle and like always, Zane was winning. As Kai and Jay were about to give up the alarm went off.
Everyone rushed to the brig, awaiting Nya's assessment of the situation.
Nya informed, "There has been serpentine activity on the Mountains of Wisdom!"
"Thanks sis. Let's go boys, NINJAGO!" Kai said as everyone ran out the door.
All four elemental weapons changed into their vehicle forms and their assigned masters jumped on and sped off.
When they arrived at the base of the mountains, a plan was needed.
Cole explained, "Okay guys, it seems like there aren't too many serpentine on the mountain top. Zane that's your job. Most of them are on the cliff's bottom, that's where me, Kai and Jay come in. Zane, when the top is cleared, come down and help us defeat the rest. Everyone got it?"
The four boys nodded their heads and looked at each other before going on their own.
Kai, Jay, and Cole used their Spinjitzu to create a breach within the mound of serpents, allowing more to slither in and fill their place.
The three took on at least six serpentine at a time, some passing out from seeing a previous snake getting slayed right in front of them.
There was only about 30 left. All three reunited in the center of everyone, giving each other grins before creating their elemental tornadoes, finishing off the rest before they heard a loud thump, and see what they will never forget.
Zane's POV
I took off running up the mountain as Cole instructed. I didn't spot any serpentine on my way up, which I thought was peculiar.
As I reached the opening onto the mountain's base, I saw...me.
I slowly walked forward, wondering if what I was seeing was real, or an illusion.
"Don't take one step closer silly ninja." The voice was scratchy and deep.
I realized that whoever tried making a clone of me succeeded greatly, but didn't expect it to talk.
Anyone could be fooled by this remarkable being, but I noticed that there were many dents and scratches on it's outer layer of protection. It was a remarkable cheap copy, as vulnerable as a toothpick. Fragile.
Before I could act, the clone lunged at me, causing us both to fall. Instinctively, I pushed it off of me, but a little too hard. It flew off the mountain.
Due to my heavy body, gravity was not on my side. I started rolling across the slope of the mountain, going faster and faster. I suddenly felt everything stop and felt my stomach churn. I was falling.
I did not dare to open my eyes and see what could be my final resting place, but what I didn't know was that the ground was much closer than I anticipated.
I opened my eyes groggily and all I saw was pitch black. Oh no.
I sat up quickly and looked around, stopping at my next sight. It looked like toxic waste.
The illuminating liquid gave off a tint of light that made only the wall of the crevice visible.
The toxic fluid was seeping through the rocks at a steady pace, forming puddles on the floor, also giving off light.
I walked around the rock chamber I was in, every wall surrounding me was solid rock. The only way I will be getting out of here is back up.
But right now I only have one question on my mind:
Where am I?
There's chapter one! How is it? Good? Bad? Love it? Hate it? Tell me in the reviews! See you later! Have a nice day!(:
