Wazzup peeps, and welcome to the third chapter! This chapter is probably going to be one of the longer chapters, because there's a whole lot of fighting. Review, follow, favourite and enjoy! =^w^=!

Nya groggily sat up and rubbed her eyes. Zane was standing over her, holding a full bucket of water. He sighed and put it down.

Wake up, Sleeping Beauty," Zane said, "We're going out."

They put on armour, grabbed weapons (made of deepstone in case they needed to fight Cole) and rode their elemental dragons to Jamanikai village. Once they landed they searched the village, trying to find a clue on where their friends had gone. However, Nya got a little...sidetracked...

She saw a stall filled to the brim with antiques, and she ran off to look at it. Zane had to circle the whole village twice to find her, and when finally he did he was furious. He demonstrated his anger by giving her a good slap in the face.

"Nya, focus!" Zane said, "We're trying to find clues, not go shopping!" Nya rolled he eyes and rubbed her cheek where Zane had slapped her.

"Then where do you suppose we look, genius?" Nya asked. Zane pointed to the library.

"We go there." Zane replied, "It has books on everything in Ninjago. Maybe we could find something about those necklaces too." Zane ran off towards the library. Nya sighed and reluctantly ran after Zane.

Okay, so maybe the library was closed. That's nothing a little karate can't fix! Zane kicked the door down, let Nya in and carefully tried to reattach the door to it's hinges.

Nya searched shelf after shelf and flipped through book after book, but she found nothing. She was about to give up until she saw a leather bound book on the top shelf. Using Airjitsu, she flew to the top and and grabbed it. Floating to the ground, she looked at the cover and gasped.

"Zane! I think I found another copy of Clouse's spell book!" Nya cried. Zane immediately stopped fixing the door and ran to Nya. He snatched the book from Nya's hands and quickly flipped through the book. He stopped on one page and gulped.

"Nya, I think I know what Clouse is up to." he said. He handed the book to Nya, still opened to the same page. The page read:

The Corruption Necklaces of Jamanikai Village. Long ago these necklaces were forged in the depths of the Dark Island, but they were stolen by the Jamanikai tribe. They then went missing and were never seen since. Legend has it that if an individual with enough dark power inside his or her heart finds the necklaces, he/she can force the wearer of the necklace to do whatever he/she says, even if the command is to take someone's life. However, if found by someone completely pure of heart, that person can destroy the necklaces and therefore break the spell. But if the wearer is the one who is pure of heart, then we're all ducked. WARNING! If you take off of the necklace without breaking it...

"Zane, what does the rest say? I can't read it..." Nya asked. Zane didn't answer. Instead, he cried out, grabbed one of his sais and threw it behind Nya, who almost crapped her pants and dropped the spell book. The sais pinned a stunned Jay to the wall. The ninja had made it to the library!

"Nya, grab the spell book and run!" Zane yelled. Nya grabbed the spell book, but she didn't run. Instead, she grabbed her deepstone sword and ran towards Zane.

"Duck!" Nya shouted. Zane bobbed down as Nya swung her sword around and cut Cole's chest.

Kai burst into the library and shot a fireball at Nya, who shot a water blast back and made it disperse into smoke. Lloyd ran in and fired a energy ball at Nya's back, but Zane made an ice shield around her, stopping the ball.

Jay had unpinned himself from the library wall and had grabbed his katana, prepared to fight Zane. He lunged at Zane, who grabbed his own katana just in time to stop the blow. They locked swords, pushing against each other with effort.

"Give me the spell book." Jay hissed. Zane gritted his teeth and pushed harder against Jay's sword.

"Give me my friends back," Zane muttered. He kicked Jay in the nuts, causing him to drop his sword. Zane then threw Jay's sword to the other side of the room, not realising that Cole was creeping up behind him.

Cole grabbed the thickest book he could find and whacked Zane on the head with it.

"Ow!" Zane yelled. He saw Cole, grabbed his deepstone sais and charged at him.

Meanwhile, Nya was forced to battle her brother. They both did Spinjitsu and charged towards each other, with Nya being a little less willing to fight. In mid-battle, she tried to reason with her brother.

"Kai, fight this!" Nya cried, "You know this isn't you!" Kai ignored Nya and continued to fight her. He finally delivered a final kick to Nya's stomach, causing her to stop spinning and fall over. Kai took a sword out from behind his back, raised it above Nya's head...and broke the strap on her satchel.

Lloyd grabbed the satchel and signalled all the ninja to follow him and stop fighting. Cole stopped beating Zane senseless, dropped him and followed Lloyd with Jay and Kai. Weakly, Nya and Zane stood up and ran after their friends.

"No! Wait!" They yelled, but it was too late. The ninja summoned their elemental dragons and flew off into the woods, not even looking back. Nya collapsed onto the floor and started crying, while Zane clenched his fists in anger.

"We have to get to the woods." he said.

So...another chapter bites the dust! This one took a lot longer than anticipated, but I hope you enjoyed it anyway! So stay awesome and stay tuned! Chapter 4 is coming soon!
