Hey everyone, happy Friday and time for a new Kai update. I should've mentioned this since the beginning that this is a Ghost Rider remake from the moive by I'm adding in the Ninja to play it all out with Kai as the hero and my own added twists to it. I've seen people write remake with movies like those Frozen ones before so my turn. Anyway, enjoy.
Chapter 3: Heart Black as Night
Out in the outskirts of Ninjago stood a small building off the main road with many motorcycles parked in the hard ground. A man with thick shoulders and beefy arms dressed in motorcycle gear leaned against a beam on the porch to gaze around the starlit desert from the stuffy air inside. He felt the small chills of the desert night and drank in the scent of recent rain after each inhale. How quick rain can pass in a desert but what a nice night. "Here you go, Hedge." a feminine cheerful voice said to break the silence.
The man nicknamed Hedge turned his head from the dark sandy desert to the face of a blonde haired with red streaks female in jean shorts and a short flannel shirt and cowboy boots holding a dark amber bottle for him. The biker simply smiled and took the bottle from her. "Thanks, Amy." he said and she retreated back into the noisy bar of pool cues clattering and jukebox music. Hedge took a sip of his beverage to clear his head and suddenly felt unknown chills run down his spine. He felt his hands become cold suddenly from his fingerless gloves and looked down to see frost build up on the glass and wondered. Just odd. The sound of shuffling made him lift his head up and watched a pale figure walk up from nowhere and stepped on the wooden steps. "Hey pal," he said threating and stood in front of him. "Golden Dragons only."
The ghostly figure stopped and slowly strained his head to stare at him with his cold dark eyes. "Golden Dragons you say?" he said content and calmly, but slightly angered and annoyed.
"Yeah." Hedge said and shoved his shoulder to push him back. "What? You got a problem with that?"
The figure looked at his shoulder being pushed and gave him a cold stare with the dark orbs. He could see him flinch a little by his stare. "As a matter of fact," he said and placed his right hand on his chest. "I do."
The biker felt his breath being vacuumed from his body and struggled to gulp down air. But he couldn't. His skin was slowly turning to a deep shade of blue and purple while his eyes became black and were sunken into his skull. He lost his control of motorskills in his body to drop his bottle for it to shatter and felt the life drain from his body and collapsed on the wooden patio. The figure scrunched his neck and cocked it to the side to pop the top vertibraes of his neck and walked up the steps to push the two small swaying doors and entered.
Kai quickly transversed down the halls from the living room in silence. The floorboards creaked after each step the fire ninja could hear and even hear the passing thunderstorm outside and the calls from his brothers playing their card games down the hall. He wished he could join them, but he just suddenly felt nauseous and was instructed by Zane to lie down in their shared bunkroom. And that's what he intended to do so. The question to him was how did he become sick all of a sudden? Must've been a migraine or something he ate. Who knows.
The fire ninja felt his balance stagger as he reached the halls of the bedrooms and caught his balance to lean against the wall. He could feel his head pounding like a drum and rattling to have him squeeze his eyes shut tightly. He heard his breath become shaky and skin crawling with sweat. He even felt a bit warm. Although he was used to it since he was the Ninja of Fire. He hoped it wasn't a fever. He absolutely hated them.
Kai felt the pain slowly surpass and slowly pried his eyes open to exhale a shaky breath and hugged the wall with his clammy hands. He had no idea what just happened, but he was glad the pain passed aqnd slowly continued to stagger to the room he shared with the others. But stopped as he heard muffled voices from the room Nya and Laurie shared room and heard the mention of his name. Curiousity gotten the best of him as the two kept mentioning a conversation and quietly placed an ear quietly against the wooden door and listened carefully to his girlfriend and sister.
"You know Laurie," Nya's voice spoke. "If you're worried for my brother after today's rescue mission, maybe you two should...you know...go out on a date and talk it out. I worry about him and Jay and me and Jay go out together to a small date and we talk things out. That's how you keep a relationship with another strong. You love Kai, right? Give it a try and see. A double date with me and Jay tomorrow."
There was a long pause silence, followed by a small sigh. "I do love Kai," Laurie replied. "But...after what he's been through and what I've been through, both lead to disasters. Last time Kai and I done something was at that ball and I nearly got killed by a four-armed samurai made of stone. I just don't know know what to do. I'm nervous to talk or ask him. I need to think on it."
After hearing that, Kai removed his ear from the door to sigh and dare not hear more. He knew he and Laurie have been through a lot together, but they both have hit dangerous paths. He faced Serpentine, Skulkin Army, Stone Warriors that were in the city for awhile, and a lot other things and she has too. He even knew she was more worried about his accident a few hours ago. But from what he knew, he felt like it could work. A date to fix their relationship. Like what he seen in the movies with his sister before. And that's what he'll do then. Ask the wind ninja out tomorrow, but how?
The fire ninja felt another wave of nausea wash over him to hold his head and quickly reached the room across the hall and entered. He staggered to change from his suit to his pajamas and reached the bunk-bed he shared with Cole and quickly climbed up the small wooden ladder to the top bunk and collapsed. He felt his head burning intensly than before and refused to get any medicine and threw his comforter over his warm body and let the rain calm him to sleep.
A whimper of fear filled the air and Amy's body shook in fear as she cowered behind the bar counter. The establishment was dark and cold to make her see her breath and was scared of the uneventful. She carefully peeked from the corner to see the pale blue, lifeless bodies filled around the room. It was quiet now. The dark person that entered done this to them in quietness and she was alive and alone. I should make a run for it. she though. Before he finds me.
Suddenly she felt a hand clamp around her throat and was brought up from her hiding spot to face the dark demon. She couldn't find her voice as she lost it in fear with tears streaming down her face. She was even too scared to try and escape. "I knew you were there." he said coldly. "I can smell your fear." He simply didn't perform his life drainage like he has done to the others but loosened his grip to let her fall. "Let the world know that a new dark times has risen and nothing will stop me." Amy quickly nodded and quickly scrambled out to run for her life.
The figure closed his dark eyes to drink in the cold air of death around him. He should've drained the life from the poor girl, but she had to send a message for him. A message that he has come and nothign will stop him on his search. But who was he though? The pale blue figure continued to drink in the cool night atmosphere and slowly slid his eyes open to smirk and turned on his heels. "Obsid," he greated. "Long time... No see."
A man with thick black hair and dark eyes with broad shoulders and thick arms, dressed with no undershirt to reveal taut muscles but with a black earthy color trench coat and pants, sat next to a small round table while leaning against his seat with one arm resting on the backrest looked up without showing any facial expressions. "Blackheart," he said rather coldly a bit dry in his throat. "We thought you would never come."
Blackheart smirked and heard the sound of rushing water and turned his head to a sink. He watched a stream of water emerge from the faucet and took form of a man. He too was dressed in dark grey clothes, but his skin was pale and wet with his long burnet hair that reached past his shoulders remained drenched while water dripped all the time. "Aquar," he greeted.
The man called Aquar spat water out to clear his throat. "You're not suppose to be here." he said. "You know that, right?"
There was a gust of wind and all turned their heads to see a cloud of dust enter the bar and took the form of a woman as she walked from her dust form. She too had pale skin with snow white hair that reached her mid-back while wearing a short furry white coat and a black tank top that exposed her stomach and jeans. She smirked while Blackheart smirked back. "Zephyr." he chuckled. "Been awhile."
The woman walked up to him while her heels clicked on the wooden floor and slapped him across the face. Blackheart simply stood tall to give her a blank stare. "You never tried to contact me in the dimensions." she growled. "I was lonely for all of these years." She then chuckled and her body materialized into dust to move herself away and stand next to the others. "Why have you come here?" she demaned. "What brings you to this mortal realm?"
"I'm looking for something that belongs to me." Blackheart replied while pacing around the bar. "The Contract of Souls is here on this land and I intend to claim it so I can possess the power of souls." and he looked over the shoulders of a biker member to gaze at the cards in his hands.
"What about Samukai?" Obsid wondered, fearing the Underworld King.
Blackheart stopped to close his dark eyes with a growl. The other three noticed his skin turned to a deep shade of blue while catching a glimpse of razor sharp teeth in a cheshire grin while giving a deep throaty growl. His skin returned to its normal pale shade to open his dark eyes to glare at him. With a quick step, he appeared in front of Obsid and wrapped a hand around his throat while struggled to breathe and pry his hands away. "Do not mention that name in my presense." he hissed venom. "He is no longer the ruler and cannot contain me in my prison. Not even his Rider." and released his grip.
Abosith threw a coughing fit to cough out bits of dirt and slowly pull himself up. Blackheart turned away to gaze out the window with the others behind. "Tomorrow night, we begin our search and nothing will stop us. Once I have the contract in my possession, you will all be free." He turned to meet the others. "Let's go pay an old friend a visit."
Don't you just love understanding the villian's motives and actions to know what he wants for power. That's what builds suspension to what could happen with the hero, mainly Kai. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, leave a review if you wish to and I'll see you all next week. Even though I feel like the weeks take forever with work but hey I don't care as long I update my stories. See you all next week. :)
