How they met:

It was the day of the annual marching band trip to Mega Monster Amusement Park. Brian and Rebecca, were on the ferris wheel with Erik and Mike, two football-player friends, since they were both on the team (yes, a girl was on the football team). Aaron and Ashley were also there, forced to sit with the popular group. The twins didn't really like the football players, but they had no choice but to sit with them. Lastly, Josephine was crammed in with them. She was new to the school and didn't have any friends, but she still played a mean electric bass.

What none of the seven instrumentalists knew though, was that a certain group of snakes had snuck aboard in the next basket.

"Who will be our victimssss?" Acidicus asked Pythor.

"They will not be 'victimssss', becausssse we are not killing them!" hissed both heads of Fangtom.

"Pressssisssely," Pythor said, going over their plan once more. "We are sssssimply giving humanssss our powerssss, sssso we can have sssspiessss on the other humansss. That way, it will be eassssier to plan an attack to rule all of Ninjago!"

"But who are we injecting our powersss into?" asked Skalidor, gesturing to the needles they all had in their hands.

Pythor looked around the ferris wheel, then spotted the basket with the seven band children. "Them! And take the other two prissssonerssss!"

Before the ride actually started, the snakes carefully jumped onto the other basket, causing the children to scream. "You sssshall all be loyal to ussss, or die a sssslow painful death!" cried Pythor.

Rebecca and Brian were already trying to escape, but Erik and Mike pulled them back in and escaped themselves. "See ya, suckers!" Erik yelled as the boys ran away. Then, the ride started, leaving the five teens to face the snake generals.

Ashley and Aaron hugged each other and cried. Brian and Rebecca hugged each other and screamed for their lives. Josephine looked at the others and stood up. For the first time in her whole life, she decided to break out of her shell and stand up for herself. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM US YOU FILTHY SNAKES!" The others looked at the normally silent girl in surprise, but the snakes were unfazed.

Josephine then proceeded to kick Acidicus in the face, causing him to drop his needle and fall out of the ferris wheel. Pythor immediately stabbed her with his needle, causing her to pass out. Then, he picked up Acidicus's needle and stabbed Rebecca. As if given a signal, Skales stabbed Brian, Fangtom stabbed Ashley, and Skalidor stabbed Aaron at the same time. Then, as their basket reached the ground, the snakes slithered out. "Follow usss, and you can live!" Pythor called.

Instead, the five exited the basket and ran away to the bathrooms to hide.

"OH MY GAWD AM I GONNA DIE?!" Ashley cried.

"I... I d-dunno..." her twin replied.

Josephine rolled her eyes. "They injected their powers into us, and now expect us to be their slaves. I heard them talkin about it, I just didn't think they would come for us."

Rebecca started freaking out. "This isn't happening! PLAY-OFFS ARE NEXT WEEK! WE CAN'T MISS THE FEAKIN PLAY-OFFS! THE TEAM IS DEPENDING ON US!"

"Clam down, bro," Brian replied. Even though Rebecca was his sister, he still treated her like a brother. "It'll all be good... By the way guys, you better do extra good at the half-time performance if you wanna look better than the other team's band."

"Won't you guys be there to play with us?" Aaron asked.

"Hel-lo? We're on the freakin football team! That ain't gonna happen," Rebecca said, rolling her eyes.

"Whatever..." Aaron grabbed his sister, preparing to leave, when Josephine spoke up again.

"Umm, guys? We should probably stick together, you know? We all have weird Serpentine powers, and maybe we can use them for good or something? I mean, it's not like the ninja are here to help us." The other four stopped to think about it. The ninja have been gone for a while, and no one knew where they were. The Serpentine have been using this time to make chaos in Ninjago.

"Ya know what? As long as it doesn't interfere with football season, why not?" Brian said.

"Ok, me too," Rebecca agreed with her brother.

The twins looked at each other, then finally turned towards the others and said in unison, "Sure, whatever."

Josephine smiled. "Ok, but what are your names? I've seen you during marching band before, I just don't know your names. I'm Josephine."

"Oooooo can we call you Jojo?!" Ashley shrieked. "I'm Ashley, b-t-dubs."

Jojo's grin grew wider. "Sure thing."

"I'm Aaron."

"Brian."

"Rebecca."

"We should probably train or something to get used to these powers. You guys wanna come over after band practice tomorrow?" Aaron offered.

"We'll be there."


Done for now! Next chapter will introduce the ninja, and what sick, twisted thing has caused them to stop saving Ninjago from evil snakes!

Also, for those interested, I am still continuing A Burning Passion. I just had this idea and had to start this story so I could calm the voices in my brain :P ...they can get feisty...

Anyway, watcha think so far? REVIEW! :D
