Disclaimer: I (sadly) don't own Ninjago
Rise of the Anacondrai
Jinxie snuggled into the warm red ninja's torso. His warm mahogany eyes shut as he enjoyed this moment of pleasure. His girlfriend has just gotten home, she wasn't going to stay at her apartment tonite, she was staying at the 'Bounty' to spend some time with the group.
"It's good to see you again." Jinxie said with her head burrowed into Kai's chest. "Same here."
Jinxie took off her heels and kicked up her feet onto a saggy, black leather recliner. Her boyfriend sat on the couch next to her.
Nya walked into the room, her face crimson with anger. Jinxie and Kai heard her mutter something like can't I love them both before she slumped on the three seater couch that was on the other side of Kai's couch. Jinxie took this opportunity to break the silence.
"So what's up?" Jinxie said smoothing out the wrinkles in her work clothes.
"I'm still undecided on who I should choose." Nya sighed miserably. "I love them both but one way or another someone is going to get upset."
Jinxie scratched her chin, thinking about what would be a impossible situation for poor old Nya. "I think Jay is the best for you, but that is my opinion." She sighed. "Let your heart guide you."
Nya sat there pondering over the situation. Jinxie had obviously said some thoughtful words.
She turned to Nya's brother. "You know, your hair would look awesome if you dyed it black. Just saying."
Kai fingered his spikes. "No way." He grumbled. " I like my hair."
"Suit yourself." Jinxie sighed. "Oh hey Lloyd." She said to the blonde haired teenager. Lloyd nodded. "Did you hear the news." He mumbled.
"No." Jinxie said, focusing her attention to the new-comer. "Didn't Kai tell you about the new ninja joining the team. She's quite the charmer."
"Charmer?" Jinxie raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, she charmed all of us, Kai in particular." Lloyd said, pulling a serious face.
Jinxie's face went bright red. "What's her name?"
"Skylar Grey." Kai said blankly.
Jinxie checked her watch. "Oh boy look at the time, I'm late for a meeting. I'll meet Skylar another time. Bye!" She quickly said, dashing out the door, leaving the other three perplexed.
The ninja of fire's girlfriend forced her legs to run to the aged car, but they were hesitating.
She shoved the keys into the ignition. She tried turning the engine over, but it was groaning. She cursed as the lazy engine would not turn over.
"Wait." A deep voice said from behind her. She turned around, it was Cole, the ninja of earth. "Why are you leaving?"
Jinxie groaned, she couldn't retreat from this problem. "There is a problem, I can't deal with it, I have to go."
"What's the problem?" Cole asked in the most cliche manner. This was going to be a unfathomable situation.
Jinxie glanced worriedly at the 'Bounty' and then at the sandy soil beneath her. She was hoping not to be approached like this. "It's nothing, got to prepare for this meeting."
"Awesome, see you around." Cole said happily. Jinxie had to stop herself from snorting at such a cliche reaction.
"Oh and one more thing." She said. "Can I borrow one of Jay's bikes, my car has had it."
Cole looked at the set of five motor bikes parked, one for each colour of ninja. "Yeah, but take mine." He said, referring to the black one.
"Awesome." The black ninja's cousin said. "Here I come!"
The petite figure walked along the cool dark underground brickwork of the Ninjago subway. She was sick of the pain that an old enemy inflicted on her.
Her grey eyes were still adjusting to darkness when she bumped into something, tall, stocky and very scaly. Whoever it was turned around, glowing red reptilian eyes met her grey eyes. The girl named Jinxie Jaymes attempted to scream, but nothing came out of her mouth, it was as if her muscles couldn't move.
"Watch out where you are going!" The weird creature said. Jinxie was still speechless. It happened to have a posh accent, may I add.
"Sorry. It's so dark, I couldn't see." Jinxie quivered. The voice chuckled. "I forgot human eyes take longer to adjust than snakes."
"You're a Serpentine?" Jinxie asked, cliche style even though it was blindingly obvious.
"Yes I am. And I'm proud. I wish I could say that about the rest of my kind." The voice sighed.
"What happened, I though all the Serpentine were in the Stone Army's former tomb and had turned all good." Jinxie said blankly. The Serpentine blinked. "Tell me your story."
"I'm the last Anacondrai alive. I was the former snake king for a while, with one ultimate goal. To awaken The Great Devourer. I used the Serpentine tribes to help me find the four silver fangblades that awakened it. On that path." The snake sighed. "Those pesky ninja interfered, but we succeeded. As it rose from the Lost City of Ouroboros it consumed me and their Sensei. The Devourer wrecked havoc on my complexion as I was in it, but it was destroyed by the Golden Weapons. I had been in hiding for a while until I lead the Nindroid army for a while, helping the Overlord become The Golden Master."
"You did all of that." Jinxie said stiffly. "One of my best friends are dead because of him."
The snake growled. "It was my biggest mistake."
"Sorry." Jinxie sighed. She shouldn't be friends with a creature so evil. "Who are you?"
The snake slithered into a thin sliver of moonlight that had broken through a emergency exit. It had pale white scales and elaborate purple markings. He had a pale blue gem on his head and one on his torso. He had an elongated neck and a long tail without legs.
Jinxie gasped. "I've seen you on the news!"
"Yeah you probably have." The serpent sighed. "You are the only human that's been nice to me."
Jinxie smiled lightly. "I am compassionate to all. If you need anything, I am welcome to help."
The snake chuckled with self satisfaction. "If you say so, help me find a special book in the library. I say special because it holds a secret."
"What kind of book is it?" Jinxie asked, allowing her curiosity to ponder. "The Articulum."
Jinxie gasped. That was the book that cannot be opened.
15 minutes later, Jinxie found herself talking to an invisible snake and wandering through a library. So very weird for our friend, but it was a favour, she was kind to everything.
"I didn't catch your name, what is it?" She asked through closed lips and head focused on bookshelves. The snake, though invisible must of protruded his head up to the girl's ear.
"It's Pythor P. Chumsworth."
Jinxie scanned her eyes broadly across the bookshelf. "You won't find it there." Pythor chuckled.
"Where is it then?" Jinxie asked, her eyes exhausted from scanning endless shelves of identical books.
"It's at the special book section. It's secured by a special pass. Hand it into the person and you will gain access." Pythor explained fluently. Jinxie nodded. "But you must distract them as they open the vault. Give me five minutes after it opened then come in."
It was a 100 metre walk to the service desk outside of the vault. Jinxie presented her pass. The door opened. She waited until the floating book signal from Pythor was seen before 'changing' her mind.
"I'm sorry." She said to the unhappy serviceman. "I've changed my mind about using the vault."
"Fine." The ginger-haired man with saggy clothes said. "Have it your way."
Jinxie inspected books while she was waiting for the persistent Serpentine to finish reading The Articulum. She didn't know how he would read it, it was the book that cannot be opened.
Legends told over generations tell about The Articulum being the book that cannot be opened. In some legends Jinxie was told by her uncle Lou, someone had claimed to have read it and knows all of Ninjago's secrets. However that was a lie, the person admitted it 37 years later on his deathbed.
Of course she had no idea what Pythor wanted with this special book. Maybe he had a key or something.
She checked her watch, it had been five minutes, give or take a minute. She walked up to the red-head. "I'm ready to go in." She said, showing her pass of authority. The man sighed but allowed her in.
The vault was dark, with deep maroon walls and smaller shelves of exotic books. She found the white Serpentine examining a thick brown book. He looked up and saw her (now familiar) face.
"What book is that?" Jinxie asked the focused Pythor. He looked up and gave a snakelike grin.
"The Articulum."
Jinxie gasped loudly. "You don't m-mean..." "Yes I do." Pythor concluded, a smirk now etched into his scaly features.
"Wow!"
A petite figure walked into the oak wooded ship living room. She wore an orange and white knit and tight orange leggings. On her feet she wore matching orange skate shoes finished in white laces. She had a pale face with light freckles and long blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. She had a stupid grin carved in her face.
"So," She spoke strongly. "You told me that Jinxie girl is here. I don't see her."
The people sitting at the table in front of her glanced at each other. Nya, Jay and Cole shrugged. Lloyd sat there pondering and Kai let out a lethal growl. "She's at a meeting." He said lowly.
The newcomer snorted. "Trust her to spoil the fun." She muttered.
Nya quickly scowled. "So Skylar, would you like to be shown to your room?" She asked. Skylar grunted. "I was waiting for that offer."
Nya lead the fussy Skylar down the newly rebuilt 'Destiny's Bounty' halls to the end (towards the stern) where her room was located. She shoved Skylar's bags in her room and was about to walk away when Skylar grabbed her arm.
"What's with your brother, he wasn't like this the other day to me." She spat. Nya almost scowled, this was not going to be an easy shipmate, she wish Zane was alive.
"He doesn't like you." Nya muttered into her breath. Skylar smirked. "Is that so? He is going to take extra charming if I'm going to win his heart."
"He already has a girlfriend." Nya growled.
"Who is it?" Skylar asked, she should not be digging deep into stuff like this.
"It's for me to know and you to stay out of."
"Fine, have it your way."
Jinxie was tired and sweaty, it was already midnight. She was chopping jungle plant after jungle plant. This was another part of Pythor's wishes. He was helping too, but it was too much for both human and Serpentine.
They had been making their through thick, dense and lush jungle for half an hour now, still no sign of what the Anacondrai was looking for.
Snakes did not sweat, but Jinxie would of sweated enough to fill a river. She took out a canteen Pythor gifted her and drained the last drops. She was still thirsty. The humid environment made 30 degrees feel like 45.
Pythor squashed a cricket and swallowed it whole. "Keeps your energy up. It's also a good source of protein."
"I'll take your word for it." She chuckled. "What exactly are we finding?"
Pythor stopped slithering. "A very special Anacondrai."
"I thought you said they were all dead." Jinxie said, scratching her skull.
"Not this one. He is, ahem special."
Five minutes later. The white snake and the petite human girl met a clearing. It was a rather big one with a octangular wooden hut centred in it.
Pythor slithered up to the thatch door and knocked. It opened and a purple snake with a short neck, slithered out.
"Ahh Pythor." He said deeply. "I've been expecting you!"
A/N Argh Skylar! Don't forget if you like this story then show me some love :)
