Alex was nearly done building the cannon that he had worked so hard to build. "Finally, my dreams becoming reality. Soon the IS Academy will be destroyed!" An engine noise could be heard in the distance. Alex turned to see the moon's light shining on Ronin's ship as well as several IS units flying towards him. "No..." he grinded his teeth.
He ripped several trees out of the ground and began to hurtle them towards our group. "INCOMING!" Lloyd pointed. Ronin and the IS units took evasive maneuvers to dodge the trees.
A scream came over the comms. It was Ichika and he had been hit with one of the trees. Ichika's IS began to descend and it looked as if he was unconscious. "I'll go get him!" Houki shouted to the team. "Keep going!" Her IS flew down and began to chase Ichika. A large crater and dust cloud formed when Ichika's IS hit the ground. Seeing that made everyone panic for Ichika's well being, but knowing Ichika, he would want us to keep moving forward and stop this villain.
Alex was still working on constructing his cannon as he tried to stop us from getting closer. "Ninja!" Sensei Wu grabbed our attention, "You three must get closer to Alex and stop that cannon, we can't dodge these trees for much longer. Go ninja! Go!" Lloyd jumped out of Ronin's ship and created his golden dragon to face this Christmas destroyer one last time. Nathan and I hoped onto the dragon once more and we headed for battle.
The Dragon was quick. We dodged the trees like they were nothing. "Blast." Alex said under his breath. The red head kept launching trees at us hoping that they would hit the Golden Dragon. To bad for Alex, but none of them hit. We landed in front of Alex and Lloyd got rid of his golden dragon.
"It's over Alex." I said as Nathan, Lloyd, and I ignited our swords. "Give up or there will be trouble."
"Oh they're will be trouble alright." Alex said. Aura surrounded his hands and he got in a fighting stance.
Alex charged towards us and shot a beam of his power at Nathan. Nathan blocked with his sword and was pushed back a few feet by the shear strength of his power. "Now's a good time that I wish I had found my true potential." He said to himself. Lloyd and I swung our swords at Alex but Alex quickly moved out of the way and caused the swords to clash into each other. Alex then kicked me and punched Lloyd at the same time which made us fall backwards.
Lloyd used his sword to prop himself up. "You're quick, but this is quicker!" Lloyd began to spin around and do spinjitzu, "NINJA GO!" He shouted from inside his spinjitzu. His spinjitzu moved rapidly towards Alex and slammed into him so hard that he was knocked back into several trees, which made them break in half.
"You'll pay for that golden ninja." A click came from the cannon. Oh no. Was he seriously still building it as we were fighting!? "You'll pay with the destruction of the IS Academy!" Alex used his powers to push a button on the cannon. Warming up in t-minus 600, 599, 598... "Oh you have to be kidding me! It warms up!?"
"That means we still have time! Lloyd you destroy the cannon, Hunter and I have this buffoon." Nathan stepped next to Lloyd and I. Lloyd nodded and headed for the cannon.
Lloyd shot his golden energy at the cannon and it bounced off and into the sky. "HAHAHA! You think I didn't think about the three strongest "good guys" while building this!?" Alex laughed. "It's made out of vengestone. Something you and your dragon can not destroy since your powers have no effect on them." Alex grabbed Lloyd with his powers and pulled him back into Nathan and I.
"How do you know about vengestone!?" I questioned. He shouldn't know about that, according to the Sensei, vengestone is only found in Ninjago.
359, 358, 357, 356,... the cannon went. "Because Hunter, I'm not from this dimension, I'm from the Ninjago Dimension!" What!? Alex then picked the three of us up with his powers. "You're running out of time boys. Good luck stopping the cannon now!" He threw the three of us off the cliff as the beam started to form in the cannon.
As we were falling the golden dragon quickly appeared below Lloyd and the dragon grabbed us with it's feet. "We can't stop the cannon now. We just have to try and stop it before the beam hits the school!"
"Our power beam!" Nathan shouted as we dangled from the dragons feet. "Maybe that can counteract the beam of the cannon!"
"Good thinking brother!" I smiled with hope. The dragon was almost at the academy as a siren started to sound, Ronin had taken the Sensei and students back to the IS Academy where they set off an alarm to warn the students about the incoming attack. We have to protect the students and city, no matter the cost.
120, 119, 118, 117, 116,... Alex watched as the dragon flew back as fast as it could towards the city. "Nothing can stop me now."
The dragon had reached the academy with barely any time to spare. Students were running around in a panic, as well as the citizens of the nearby city. "Get ready boys, this is our final chance to stop this maniac."Nathan said. Nathan, Lloyd, and I ignited our swords. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, "For the IS Academy." He spoke with a serious tone in his voice.
3, "Gold!" Lloyd started as he shot his Golden Energy out of his sword.
2, "Wind!" I added as I shot my wind from my sword into Lloyd's Energy beam.
1, "Water!" Nathan finished as his water shot from his sword into my wind and Lloyd's golden energy.
Our power beam flew off into the distance as the cannon let off a massive beam aimed at the IS Academy. The beams collided, but our power beam wasn't strong enough and was quickly being pushed back towards us. "Give all of your elemental power to it!" Lloyd shouted to Nathan and I.
The Sensei, and IS teachers watched the three of us try and keep back this beam. "COME ON NINJA!" Ms. Yamada cheered from the group of teachers. The other teachers and even some students that were still there continued to cheer the three of us on. Even when their lives were at risk they still believed that we could stop this threat.
The three of us screamed in pain as our energy was weakening and we tried giving it our power. The beam from the cannon grew closer to the academy and Alex watched this and laughed. "Foolish ninja! THIS IS YOUR AND THE IS ACADEMY'S END!" Alex laughed maniacally from the cliff side.
"COME ON GUYS!" I shouted to Nathan and Lloyd. "NINJA NEVER QUIT!" These people were cheering for us to win. We were all that stood in the way between Alex and him destroying the academy and quite possibly the city. "GIVE IT YOUR ALL GUYS!" the three of us knew we had to hurt ourselves to stop this beam. We began to go over 100 percent of our power, causing our arms to crack.
"GO NINJA GO!" Everyone shouted in unison as a large amount of our elemental power shot out of our swords and continued into the beam. Our power beam started to push back the beam from the cannon.
Alex stopped laughing as soon as he noticed this. "IMPOSSIBLE!" Alex screamed in rage. Lloyd, Nathan, and my eyes lit up in our elemental colors as the power beam grew larger and stronger, causing light to spew from our cracking arms. The power beam suddenly shot the beam from the cannon back with thirty times as much power. "NO!" Alex let out one last scream before the beam hit the cliff side incinerating the cannon and making a massive explosion on the cliff side.
After that, we stopped our power beam and fell to the ground; our energy completely gone. The Sensei, Teachers, and Students cheered with excitement as we had defeated Alex's cannon.
At the explosion site, Alex was crawling away from the explosion site, injured and defeated. Alex stopped to take a breath and heard someone clear their voice in front of him. Alex looked up to see Ronin and Nya in her Samurai X gear looking down at him. Alex had a look of terror on their face. They had no energy left to use their power. Nya kicked Alex in the head knocking them out. "You're gonna have a fun time behind bars." Nya growled lifting Alex up and onto the Ronin's ship.
Back at the IS Academy, Lloyd, Nathan, and I lie in the nurses office, where the Sensei sat next to our beds. Nathan was the last to wake up and found the Sensei talking to Lloyd and I. "Look who decided to join us." Sensei Garmadon smiled. "Might I say, you three did a terrific job today boys."
"I agree." Chifuyu's voice came from the nurse's office door. "It's crazy out there. A lot of media wants to talk to you three. They think that you just defeated the Destroyer and stopped him from attacking the city."
"Let them believe it." Nathan said. "Alex doesn't deserve the satisfaction of being in any kind of spotlight." Lloyd and I agreed. "But Alex is still out there."
"Not anymore." Ronin and Nya entered the nurses office. "He's with the police now. He'll be put behind bars they said." A sigh of relief was let out across the room.
"You three have saved Christmas. Speaking of. Chifuyu opened the door and let Ichika, Ms. Yamada, and the girls in. They all had presents in their hands.
"Merry Christmas Ninja!" they all said together. The gifts were for us.
I heard some crying to my right, it was Nathan. "Are you alright?" I asked him concerned.
He nodded. "It's just, this is the best Christmas ever." he smiled with tears flowing from his eyes. This caused the rest of us to smile. They handed us our gifts and started to play Christmas music from earlier at the Christmas Party.
Nya had seen out of the corner of his eye, Ronin leave the room. "I'll be right back." She whispered to Wu. Nya got up and left the nurse's office to follow Ronin.
As Ronin was walking away from the office, news reporters flocked around him asking several different questions. "Anyone else says any more words to me, they are going to regret it." He glared hard at the news reporters. Ronin walked off again and as Nya left the office news reporters flocked to him as well. Nya was kinder though when he rejected the news reporters questions.
"Ronin." Nya shouted to him. Ronin had stopped. "We won, come celebrate Christmas with us. You deserve it."
"Sorry, but large celebrations aren't my thing. I'll see you around Samurai, but just so you know, next time we meet," Ronin turned around to face Nya. "I might not be on your side." A large hush fell upon the hallway. "Unless you pay me more than whoever I'm working for."
Nya smiled. "I'll keep that in mind." Ronin smiled as well and let out his signature whistle which called his ship Rex to the outside of the IS Academy. Ronin hopped in his ship, took one last look at the academy and flew off.
In a prison somewhere in Tokyo. Alex sat in a prison cell looking out into the distance. Sensei Wu and Sensei Garmadon had apparently told the police that vengestone cuffs would stop him from using his powers, so they gave them some to use. "Ninja." Alex said angrily as they grabbed the bars blocking them from the outside world. "I don't know how your powers destroyed my cannon, but I want you three to know that this will not be the last you see of me!"
"Quite down redhead! It's lights out!" The lights were shut off in Alex's cell and a groan of anger could be heard leaving Alex's mouth.
Nya came back and had told the Sensei that Ronin had left. "That's disappointing, he should have let loose and enjoy himself like me." Sensei Wu said as he got up and began dancing. Everyone including Sensei Wu began to laugh at his weird dancing.
"Come on everyone lets get a picture!" Ichika said. Everyone got between Lloyd, Nathan, and I's bed and huddled for a photo. "Okay we got three seconds." Ichika put a camera on a timer and hopped into the photo." The camera went off and a photo slid out of the camera showing all of us smiling.
"That is the story of how the ninja saved Christmas." Nathan said as he shut a book. He was much older and reading to two children.
"Wow daddy, that was an amazing Christmas story. I wish it was real." A girl spoke with Joy.
"Please tell it again!" A boy begged to Nathan.
"That's the third time I've read it to you two tonight." Nathan laughed. "I think it's time you two get some sleep. You want Santa to come tonight don't you." The children's eyes got wide and they quickly lied down and closed their eyes. "Goodnight my children." He kissed both of their foreheads and shut off the light.
As Nathan left the room a short blonde haired woman was standing next to the door. "You finally got them to go to bed I see." The woman laughed.
"Yes my dear I did." He smiled. "They kept wanting me to read them that story."
"I know it's hard for you to remember that day and your brother, so why keep reading it?" She asked Nathan.
"Because Sammie. It makes the children happy to hear heroic stories. I believe it helps shape them to become heroes themselves."
The woman named Sammie looked at her husband. "I understand my love. Why don't we go to bed as well, I'm sure the children will want to wake up early tomorrow and see what Santa has brought them."
Nathan smiled once again and nodded. The husband and wife both held hands as they headed for their bed rooms. They can't know about my past. I won't let them end up like their uncle. Nathan thought to himself. Not on my watch. Nathan and Sammie both entered the bed room and closed the door behind them.
THE END
