Later that night, most of the village was asleep as some were up, who are patrolling the village, either armed with katanas or Sauer Model 202s. Pretty soon, dark clouds came over the sky, blocking the view of the moon and the stars. As the patrol were looking up, there was soon sounds of engines rumbling as they immediately look around, curiously. "Where's that sound coming from?" One of them asked.
"I don't know." Another replied.
Pretty soon, some shining from lights appear as they soon look to see it is coming from the village entrance. They were skeleton based and there were skeletons driving them with some more as passengers. "Remember what we're after and that map!" The lead skeleton said. He has four arms other than the regular skeletons. "Attack!"
The skeletons got out sabres and charged with the vehicles also moving forward as the patrollers got out their swords or aimed their rifles. "Defend the village!" One of the patrollers yelled as they charge at the skeletons as they ran at them, sparring as the people with rifles fire at some, but they are barely effected by the shots.
Some of the villagers come out of their homes, some still in their nightwear, armed with samurai gear as they also charge at the skeletons as some enter the homes where villagers who didn't come out were staying as they soon ran out, screaming. "Run!" Someone yelled.
In Kai and Nya's hut, Kai, wearing a red shirt and black pyjama pants was sleeping in bed before he is woken up by the sound of sword fighting, gunfire and yelling before looking out the window to see the fighting outside. "Oh, that's not good." He said as he moved the blanket aside, got out of bed and went to his closet. He opened it, revealing many samurai gear that he made and brought home with him before putting the armour on.
Nya comes in, wearing a red nightshirt as Kai got out a wakizashi. "What are you doing?" She asked. "What's going on?"
"The village is under attack." He gets out a kama. "Stay here." He soon runs out, barefooted.
"Kai!"
Outside, Kai sees everyone running around as a skeleton warrior was chasing after Mrs Johnstone. He soon raised his arm high and threw the kama at skeleton. The weapon hits the skeleton, causing it to collapse before running up in the direction of the blacksmith shop as one skeleton warrior came at him, but Kai uses his sword to block it and strikes it's leg, knocking it down before he continues on. Two more skeletons came at him before he beheads one and kicks the other down before he screams in pain. He looks down to see it was the skull of the skeleton he beheaded had bitten one of his toes. "Bite this!" He yelled, kicking it away.
At the blacksmith store, James sees a skeleton warrior coming at him with a sabre before he moves to the side, avoiding the strike before kicking it down. "Don't look so tough." He said as he soon grabbed a katana with an engraving of a lion on it.
"They may not be." A young man's voice replied before looking up to see the cloaked figure. "But I am!" He soon removed the cloak, revealing a black ninja suit and hood over his face before he got out a katana of his own and jumps down, preparing to strike before James blocks it with his sword. "And I'm your match for tonight."
James forces the mystery ninja back before making a defensive strike which the ninja quickly blocked before kicking him, knocking him into a wall, making several swords fall to the ground, a phone falls off a table and the sign falls off, landing on the ground. "Not bad." He gets up and poised. "But not good enough."
Further down, Kai struggles against the skeleton warrior, who quickly made a strike, knocking the sword out of Kai's hand and grabbed hold of his neck. "Say goodbye!" He yelled before a staff knocks it down.
"Goodbye." A girl's voice replied as Kai turned to discover that it was Nya.
"I thought I told you to stay home." He said.
"Seemed like you needed my help. Besides, I didn't want you to have all the fun." Several more skeletons came at them as Kai quickly picked the fallen skeleton's sabre as they soon start fighting them and knock them all down before seeing James fighting the mystery ninja. "Mr. Debitum!"
"Let's go!" They soon ran for the blacksmith shop as Kai grabs another sabre from the ground.
At the blacksmith shop, James kicks the mystery ninja down, but as he was about to win, a sabre blade comes out of his chest from his back, shocking him as he looked over his shoulder to see the four armed skeleton, holding a map as well as the sword before pulling it out of him. "I'll be taking this." He said as he sheathes his blood covered sword.
James dropped his sword and collapsed, facedown as the mystery ninja gets up and looks at the four armed skeleton. "I see you've managed to find it." He said.
"Yes, we have what we came for, young Garmadon."
"Good, let's get the hell out of this dump of a village." The young man soon took the map and puts it in his gi.
"You'll pay for that!" Kai was heard as he and Nya ran at them, weapons raised.
"Samukai, you go for the boy, I'll handle the girl."
"Yes, sir." Samukai said as he charged at Kai, pulling out his blood coated sword.
Kai charges at Samukai, who avoids his strike before kicking him into the store.
Kai lands near the fire pit before getting up and blocked an incoming strike before they soon lock blades as Samukai looks around, seeing many samurai weapons. "The man you killed, he was like a father to me." Kai said as he forces Samukai back before he came at him again as Kai quickly used one of the sabres to block before attempting to use the other one to strike his legs, but Samukai quickly blocked it with another sabre he had just pulled out.
He then kicks Kai before before swinging both sabres at Kai's swords, which breaks them in half, before kicking him in the chest, knocking him out of the shop and dropping his broken blades.
Samukai laughs as he swung his sabres before revealing two more as Kai tried to get up. "Ninjago!" Someone called out as a brown tornado came at Samukai and knocks him back before it dispersed, revealing to be the old man.
"Dragon Wu?" Samukai asked. "Your Spinjitzu looks rusty."
"Nothing like bone to sharpen it's edge, Samukai."
Nearby, Nya blocks the mystery ninja's sword, which ends up stuck to her staff. "I don't know who you are, but you're not leaving the village!" She yelled.
"Oh really?" The mystery ninja asked before looking to see Kai on the ground, trying to get up and Samukai and Dragon about to fight before seeing a water tower. "Who would you go after? Me, or your big brother?" He forces Nya back, making her let go of the staff as the mystery ninja gets it off his sword and throws it at the water tower's support, making it unstable.
"Kai!" Nya tries to run to her fallen brother, but the mystery ninja grabs hold of her. "Let me go!" She soon bites his wrist, causing him to scream and loosen his grip on Nya as she tries to go over to Kai, but the mystery ninja side swipes her in the neck, knocking her out.
Outside, Dragon sees the water tower coming down to Kai and quickly turns to him. "Oh, no." Kai said as he tried to back away.
"Ninjago!" He yelled, turning into a brown tornado and heads over to Kai, grabbing him before the water tower falls on him and Samukai comes up to the mystery ninja as he picks Nya up.
"Let's move!" The mystery ninja yelled as he carried Nya over her shoulder and they head back to the skeleton cars. "We have what we came for! Enough pillaging!" The skeletons start to head to the vehicles as the villagers try to charge at them.
"Nya!" Kai yelled as Dragon looks on.
"Oh, by the way, uncle, my father sends his regards." The mystery ninja mockingly waves at Dragon as Nya is tied up while the skeleton cars leave as the villagers stop and see their invaders were too far away.
"Oni?" Dragon asked as the skeleton cars leave.
"Nya." Kai said before he hears coughing and turns to see James, trying to stand up, but blood was gushing out of the wound. "James!" Kai runs up to him and kneels down, trying to apply pressure to the wound. "They took Nya, but I can still get you some help."
"It's too late, Kai." James said, before coughing as blood came out of his mouth as he lies back. "I have lost too much blood."
"Save your strength. You need to fight it. Fight for me, okay?"
"No. It's my fault they came. Before your father left, we were given a map by the old man. I didn't realise it was him until you left and he came back and approached me." He soon placed his blood covered hand onto Kai's shoulder. "Go with him, find your sister and realise your true destiny." James exhaled his last breath as he let go of Kai, leaving his blood covered handprint on the shoulder and land on the ground. Kai soon moved his hands back, wet from blood. He soon used his blood covered fingers to close James' eyelids, looks at his lion engraved sword and furiously turns around, only to see that Dragon had left.
The following morning, Kai, wearing a red kimono along with the other villagers had just buried James next to the statue of Ray as James' sword was nearby. "Rest in peace, Mr. Debitum." Clive said as the villagers soon left, except for Kai.
Kai places a rock at the gravestone as he looked at it. 'Here lies James Debitum, Ignacia's second blacksmith, successor of Ray Asher, fought to the bitter end with every last breath.' He soon turned to James' sword and went over to it as Dragon watches from a nearby tree.
"I promise you, James Debitum." He said as he picks up the sword and looked at the lion engraving before Dragon quickly leaves. "This blade will pierce the body of the one responsible."
