Just as everyone knows, this is none of my idea. I am simply writing novelizations to certain parts of the TV show Lego Ninjago. None of it belongs to me, and all of the things happening in these novelizations I am giving credit to the creators/writers of this show.
S02E26: Final Battle Between Lloyd and the Overlord
A sudden burst of dark matter fell from the top of the skyscraper, aimed at the ninja below. "Look out!" Jay yelled, pulling Lloyd away from the darkness, but Cole was not fast enough. The dark matter engulfed the Earth Ninja. A roar of laughter could be heard from above.
"Cole," Lloyd encouraged. "Come on. Get up!" he tried to tell his brother, but even as he said it, he feared the worst.
Looking at himself, Cole realized what was happening to him. His hands were becoming a dark color, and an evil began to overpower him from the inside. "I'm hit. Go!" He struggled to fight the darkness that was already overcoming him. "Go on… without me." The other ninja could only watch as their brother doubled over and shook violently as the dark matter corrupted him.
"We need to keep moving," Kai directed. "If we can defeat the Overlord, there's still time to save Cole." Reluctantly, the ninja kept climbing. Another burst of dark matter fell from above. Jay was the only one who saw it coming. Pushing Lloyd out of the way, it hit and began to consume the Lightning Ninja.
"Jay!" Lloyd yelled. No, no, no, he thought. They had already lost two. They couldn't lose another. Zane and Kai turned and watched hopelessly as Jay, gritting his teeth, managed to yell back, "Get out of the way!" Like Cole, the ninja shook, his gi beginning to turn from electric blue to a dark midnight black.
Kai and Zane began to pull a reluctant Lloyd up the stairs. "Don't look," Kai told Lloyd, shielding his view. "Just keep going." The three remaining ninja continued up, Lloyd limping along.
"From my calculations, with the distance remaining to the top, the odds are that only one of us is going to make it," Zane said. "Then let's beat the odds!" Lloyd decided. Unearthly growls came from behind them. Kai, Lloyd, and Zane turned to see Cole and Jay, now both corrupted, their Elemental Blades drawn.
"Go!" Zane told the Fire and Green Ninja. "I'll hold them back." As Kai and Lloyd continued up the winding staircase, Zane drew his Elemental Blade and blocked their swords with his. They would have to go through him before going on.
Yet another turn in the staircase, and suddenly Nya appeared, driving her fighter. "I'm going to draw her fire, so you can make it to the top," Kai told Lloyd, stepping in front of his friend as Nya opened fire. He blocked the shots with his Elemental Blade, defending the remaining ninja.
"No, don't!" Lloyd yelled. "We can do this together." He began to run up the stairs.
"No. There's only one Green Ninja," Kai answered. His voice was solemn. "This is your fight."
The fighter turned on Lloyd. Dark eyes piercing straight through Lloyd, Nya sneered, "You're hurt. You hardly stand a chance!" Lloyd froze. He wasn't ready, was he? Was he really ready to fight the Overlord, again, especially after he lost the first time?
Suddenly, Kai brought his Blade down straight into the fighter. "Go, Lloyd!" he yelled one last time, then turned to hold Nya back.
Lloyd glanced one last time behind him, then hopped on his good leg up the remaining stairs. As the stairs leveled out onto the roof, Lloyd glanced up at the fearsome dragon towering above him. Erasing all fear from his mind, Lloyd pulled on his green hood and stared defiantly at the Overlord.
"I have come here to fight you!" he yelled.
"You're in no shape to fight," the Overlord replied, his guttural voice echoing all around. "It's over. Evil wins!"
"A ninja never quits," Lloyd said.
The Overlord laughed playfully. "You don't even have a sword."
"I don't need a sword." Lloyd gathered his strength and formed an energy shield around himself.
"Then all I have to say is… goodbye." The Overlord took a breath and rained dark matter all around the Green Ninja. The power of the darkness nearly pushed Lloyd off the building. He began to think of all of his past failures: his inability to escape Pythor, his compulsion to throw that tea at the Grundle, and finally his past battle with the Overlord.
There's only one Green Ninja, Lloyd remembered Kai say. If that was true, then he was the only one who could do this. He was unique.
The green energy shield around the ninja became larger and turned a bright golden. It almost pushed the Overlord back. He had unlocked his True Potential.
Dr. Julien, Misako, and Sensei Wu all looked on from below atop their merged dragon. "He has become the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master," Misako realized as she saw her son shine like the noonday sun. "This is the final battle," Wu proclaimed.
Lloyd felt the power running through him. "I am the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master!" he told the Overlord, no longer afraid of failing, accepting who he was. The Overlord roared in defiance, striking out at the now-Golden Ninja, but Lloyd deflected each blow with strikingly strong power. Lloyd managed to push the Overlord off his feet, causing him to fly above Dareth, who was watching below. Dareth watched as Lloyd summoned his Golden Dragon, purely made of energy and very powerful. "You can't defeat me," the Overlord said, though he sounded afraid. "Where there is light, there will always be shadow."
"Unless my light is bright enough!" Lloyd answered. The Golden Dragon fought against the Overlord, twisting and turning the two through the sky. The rest of the ninja knew: it was already over. "This ends now," Lloyd said.
"You can't defeat me," the Overlord defied. He used his entire power to engulf the Golden Ninja and his dragon in darkness. The two spun around and around until Lloyd stopped his energy shield. He stared at the now-much larger Overlord, his laugh echoing all around. The Overlord opened his mouth wide and shut it on Lloyd, thinking he had won.
Suddenly, light began to purge the darkness from within. "No, no… no, noooo!" the Overlord yelled as he was defeated. The darkness was overcome by the light, cleansing Ninjago City of evil.
Don't worry. I have not given up on my story Fire in Winter, people. I have just been really busy this week with school and stuff, possibly just a bit of writer's block as well (it sucks :). I will try to upload the next chapter of that sometime this week, hopefully I can find time. As for this, enjoy!
