Hello Everyone. I own neither Ninjago nor Tangled. Ninjago is property of Lego, and Tangled is property of Disney
Ch. 1 A Dark Vision
Darkness, that is what lies here. In this kingdom, there is only darkness and destruction. A kingdom lies in ruins, all the buildings have fallen to rubble. Bodies litter the streets; men, women, children. Smoke flies from many of the destroyed buildings, it is pitch black at night; not one single light is shown.
This kingdom is surrounded by water, the water too is pitch black; with broken and splintered boats. What floats in the water, can be seen as a small purple flag with a golden sun on it.
From the top of the kingdom, there appeared to have been a castle, or rather, was a castle. Half of it appears to be completely gone. Below the castle, in the courtyard, there is rubble from the building and craters everywhere, as if a battle was fought here.
Bodies are here as well; only these ones are easily recognized. One is the broken body of Cole, the black ninja of Earth. He lies face down, with the golden scythe of quakes, snapped in half, right outside his hands. On his left is Jay, the blue ninja of lightning. He is lying on his side, the nunchuks of lightning lying a foot away from him. Farther away is the broken nindroid Zane, the white ninja of Ice. His mechanical head has been severed, along with his right arm and left leg; sparks flying out of the openings, the shrunken of ice embedded in his mechanical chest. Even Lloyd, the green ninja of Light has fallen. He lies face up, with a spear piercing through his chest, into the ground.
Also seen is a girl in a pink dress, with short brown hair, lying in the hands of a young man with brown hair, a slight goatee and a blue tunic. Both are on top of the body of a white horse.
Only one still lives, but barley. It is Kai, the red ninja of Fire, and the leader of the ninjas. His suit is torn, and he can barely stand, evidently shown by him using the sword of fire to support himself up. Blood can be seen running down his face. He looks around the bodies, wondering how it all went so wrong, so fast. Tears stream through his eyes. His sorrow is interrupted by a sinister cackle.
He looks to see a figure, which one cannot make out, standing on top of a mound of rubble.
Kai's look of sorrow quickly switches to anger and determination, this is the one responsible for destruction.
"Your friends have fallen, ninja" the figure spoke. "Surrender is your only option."
"I… can't… let you… win." Kai sputtered. He tried to walk towards him, but his left leg gave in and he fell to his knees, still using the sword to support himself.
"Your bravery and persistence is admirable, Kai." The figure acknowledged. "But ultimately, futile"
The figure rose its hand, and a bolt of dark purple lighting is shot, and Kai screams in agony as it makes contact.
Sensei Wu is startled out of his trance. He looks around, while breathing erratically, as if he were just awoken from a night-terror. Sweat had poured off of him like a fountain and into his long beard.
"What was that?" He wondered. Where were the Ninja? Who had they fought? Who was that girl and young man? So many questions had filled his head, which he was unable to answer.
However, something came to his mind. He did not know what, but it was a name. He did not know why he had thought of it, perhaps it was the will of Ninjago that told him. Regardless, from that vision, one name had entered his mind.
"Corona" he spoke out loud.
It was daytime in the land of Ninjago. The sung was high, not a cloud in the sky. It was a perfect day.
We are treated to the view of the monastery of Sensei Garmadon. Outside the monastery, in the courtyard, stand two warriors. Kai and Lloyd. They both stare each other down with equal determination.
Kai bears the golden Sword of Fire in his hands. Lloyd bears a simple staff. Neither of them blink as they continue their stair down.
Soon, a waterdrop falls from a leaf of a nearby tree. Time appears to slow down as the drop falls. The drop finally hits the ground, it has begun.
Kai makes the first move. Leaping into the air, bringing the sword down onto Lloyd, who blocks it with the staff. The sword ignites, but does not cut through the staff. The staff glows green, as Lloyd channels his energy into it.
Their weapons clash. They strike and block, neither of them holding back. Sparks fly as the weapons collide; whips of flame, and sparks of green energy.
Kai flips over Lloyd, and trips the green ninja with a sweep of his feet.
Kai brings the sword down on Lloyd, who immediately blocks it with his staff.
Lloyd uses his feet to catapult Kai off of him. Kai quickly recovers.
Lloyd throws his staff like a javelin, it hits the sword right out of Kai's hands. Both weapons are sent flying and are imbedded into a nearby wall.
Kai turns to Lloyd who readies himself and makes a "come-here" gesture with his hand. Kai complies.
It has become an exchange of punches and kicks. Neither fist from either ninja makes contact as they swerve and block each attack.
Kai makes a punch straight for Lloyd's face, but Lloyd crosses his arms in an x-formation, catching Kai's arm.
"Ninja… GO!" Lloyd cries as he spins around in a green tornado, spinning Kai with him.
Lloyd then lets Kai go, and Kai rolls on the ground before lying flat on his back.
Kai groans as he sees Lloyd standing above him.
"Heh, that's three for me, Kai" Lloyd acknowledges, offering a hand to his best friend; which Kai greatly accepts.
"I know, I can count too." Kai cracks.
"A fully-realized master of fire, with the rebuilt sword of fire; can't match the mighty Green ninja." Lloyd announces with pride.
"Don't get cocky bro." Kai said. "You're the chosen one, but you still have to keep up your skills."
"Since did you get wiser than Sensei Wu?" They heard a voice calling to them. They turn to see it was Jay, walking down from the monastery with both Zane and Cole.
"Kai does carry a point." Zane addressed "The Overlord may be gone, but that still doesn't mean there isn't evil out there."
"Speaking of which…" Cole began. "Your systems are okay right? No glitches or anything?"
"I am fine." Zane answered.
It has been two months since The Overlord was defeated. Zane was prepared to sacrifice himself to defeat the monster, but, to the Ninjas' relief, he had survived. The nindroid had transferred his mind into the systems of the Borg industry tower. From there, it was a simple matter for Zane to use the building's assembly line to construct a new body.
As for the Golden Weapons. Once the Overlord was destroyed, the Ninja and their Senseis have found all the pieces of the armor of the Golden Master the Overlord had used. They were able to use their vehicles to carry the fragments to the Golden Peaks, where the weapons were originally forged. The seven spinjitzu masters used their combined powers to reforge the Golden Weapons back together again.
The ninja now reside in the monastery of their former nemesis; Garmadon, along with Nya, Pixal, Misako, Wu, and the Ultra-dragon.
Despite Zane being rebuilt, the other four ninja had been a little more worried about him, not wanting to risk a repeat performance, and go to another funeral. Zane has learned to tolerate it, though it has gotten annoying for him.
"Ah, I see my son is still keeping up on his training" Sensei Garmadon observed as he walked down into the courtyard.
"Well, the mighty 'Lord Garmadon' steps down to mingle with us 'lowly peasants'." Jay joked.
"Heh, I can see where my son got his dry sense of humor." Garmadon cracked.
"Funny, thought that was you." Cole joked, lightly elbowing Garmadon, to which they all laughed.
It had felt a little weird to be joking with the former four-armed dark lord, who had tried to kill them all, and remake the planet in his own image; but then he was corrupted by the venom of the Great Devourer, so it wasn't entirely his fault. But, they all have gotten used to each other by now.
"I suggest you enjoy this moment, for I fear this peace may not last." Sensei Wu spoke, as he too, entered the court yard.
That immediately got their undivided attention.
"What do you mean by that, Sensei?" Kai asked
"Last night." Wu began "I had a terrible vision. I fear, a great darkness may soon rise."
"Ugh. Again with the 'great darkness'." Jay complained "There's always some 'unspeakable evil'; I mean, is it too much to ask for a little down time?".
"We're ninjas Jay." Cole said "Down time, isn't a luxury we normally have."
"Well, that sucks." Jay declared.
"Do you know what this evil is, Uncle?" Lloyd asked
"I am afraid not." Wu answered "The vision, only shows you five, fallen in battle. Someone else is there, undoubtedly, the one responsible. I could not make him out."
"'Fallen in battle'?" Garmadon began "Brother, was this a premonition?"
"Again, I do not know." Wu said.
"Don't worry Sensei. Whatever this is, we'll be ready for it." Kai declared.
"Agreed. We have all reached our full-potential, and we possess the Golden Weapons again." Zane added.
"I'm sure we can take this baddie down." Cole observed.
"And we'll save Ninjago again. Yada, yada, yada." Jay said, being used to this sort of thing.
"It is not Ninjago, that may need protecting." Wu corrected.
"'NOT NINJAGO'?!" they all shouted.
"Then what is it?" Lloyd asked
"Not 'what' but 'where'" Wu clarified "And that 'where' is a kingdom by the name of Corona."
"Corna? Never heard of it." Kai said
"Neither have I." Zane added "While I was in the Borg computer system, I learned of Ninjago's history, and I have never found anything by that name."
"It is not a kingdom of this world, but another one." Wu specified
"Another world?" Lloyd asked in a mix of confusion and amazement.
"Yes." Wu answered "A world of the past, in what appears to be 19th century. A world of great magic."
"Uh, Sensei? No offense but 'other worlds', a kingdom none of us even heard of, 'great magic'; how do you know all this exactly?" Jay skeptically asked.
"I believe it was the will of Ninjago itself that told me." Wu awnser
"'The will of…'" Garmadon began "Wu, if this is indeed the will of Ninjago; then this is of great importance. We must prepare immediately."
"For once, I agree with Garmadon." Kai said "Something as big as this; we need to be ready."
Moments later
Outside the monastery; the Ultra-dragon was all set and ready to go. The Ninja had packed a week's worth of supplies. Zane's mechanical falcon would venture with them as well. All that's left were the five ninja parting words with their loved ones before they would take off.
"Are you certain you have everything you need?" Pixal asked Zane with concern. "This world may lack in technology, if you are damaged…"
"Pixal." Zane interrupted "You know I am capable of taking care of myself."
"I know." Pixal replied "It is just… you are vital to me." She said as she placed her hand on his heart/power source.
"And you, to me." Zane assured with a smile, as he placed his hand over hers. To this, she too smiled.
"To venture to another world" Lou, Cole's father, began "Oh, if only I could come with you and see it."
"I'll be sure to tell you all about it, Dad." Cole replied.
"You had better. Because I plan to write a song about." Lou addressed, to which Cole rolled his eyes playfully.
"Why am I not surprised?" Cole asked
"Now, Jay." Edna, Jay's mother began. "You be sure you go to bed on time, and eat plenty of vegetables"
"Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore." Jay reminded
"Oh, but you'll always be my little ninja" Edna cooed as she pinched his cheeks.
"Now, now." Ed, Jay's father said "No need to embarrass the boy, dear."
"You take care of yourself Lloyd." Misako instructed.
"I always do, mom." Lloyd assured
"Be sure you keep up your training; we do not know what this new world has in store." Garmadon told his son.
"Don't worry dad, with the five of us; nothing's gonna stop us." Lloyd said confidently.
The Garmadon family then shared a group hug.
"Another world." Nya imagined in amazement. "Wish I could go with you guys."
"Sorry sis, but we need someone to watch Ninjago and make sure no great evil shows up while were away." Kai said
"I know. Just come back to me in one piece okay?" Nya asked
"I will, I promise."
Brother and sister of fire then hugged. Wu had approached the two, he handed Kai a tea-pot.
"This is traveler's tea." Wu instructed. "Once you're in the air, pour the tea into a cup and toss it. It will open a portal to where you want to go."
"Got it." Kai said.
"However, there is only enough for two portals. Once you use it here, you will only have enough for one more, so use it only when you absolutely have to." Wu acknowledged.
"I understand. Come on guys." Kai announced, getting all the ninjas' attention. "It's time."
They all boarded the four-headed dragon, with Kai at the reins. "Come on boy. He-ya!" Kai announced as he snapped the reins and the dragon ascended.
"Jay!" Edna shouted "Did you make sure to pack clean underwear?!"
"Yes!" Jay shouted back, annoyed; as he face palmed, the other four ninja laughed.
The Ultra Dragon had just ascended above the clouds. Kai took the tea-pot and had poured half the contents into a tea cup.
"Attention passengers." Kai announced to the other ninja, as if he were a pilot on a commercial airline. "This is your captain speaking. We are now beginning our travel through space and time of the mystic kind into an unknown world. Please keep your arms and legs on the dragon at all times."
Kai then tossed the tea cup ahead. The tea cup then exploded in a flash of light, and a large swirling portal had formed.
The dragon flew straight in. The ninja had begun their new journey.
And so it begins. Thank you for your attention. I would like to point out, that while this is based off the show "Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu" continuity, it takes place after the last episode of "Rebooted" and the characters are all human instead of legos; normal skin tones, hair, hands (with fingers), legs, feet, etc.
I hope you all enjoy the story as more updates are bound to come.
