Chapter 4: A Family Divided

The team I had assembled was very impressive, six people with incredibly powerful abilities, the hosts and children of gods, but they were useless to the fight unless they were in Ninjago. The only problem was, I had no idea how to get back, but I had an idea. We walked to the spot where I flew into this dimension from and found a place where the air was shimmering like it was hot underneath it. So naturally, I stuck my hand into it, which promptly vanished, letting me know I found a place.
"Here it is, guys! This should take us to Ninjago, I just hope my sister doesn't kill me." I said. Brooke killing was a very real concern I had, seeing as how I just vanished for a few days, she would not be happy. Nonetheless, we needed support in the fight against Dylan, and these six would be a huge advantage, seeing as Dylan has never seen most of their abilities before. Soon after I found it, we headed through the gap, and I returned to Ninjago.
As soon as we arrived, I was immediately contacted by PIXAL.
"Where have you been?! We've all been worried sick because we couldn't find you anywhere!" she shouted into my earpiece.
"It's complicated, but could you not be so loud? That hurt. Could you send the Bounty to pick me up? I think I've got a plan to defeat Dylan." I replied. She said she would and about five minutes later, the Bounty was in the sky.
"Is that a flying boat? If so, it's much nicer than ours was." Sadie said, almost shocking me, but then I remembered what my family does for a living. So we climbed on the boat, and as soon as my feet touched the deck, my twin sister Brooke had me in a rib crushing hug.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! WE WERE SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU! Also, who are these people?" She asked. I explained the situation to her, and we got everyone a place to sleep on the Bounty, and Brooke and I headed to our respective cabins. With this being a long day, I fell asleep almost immediately.

After Kyle and Brooke got everyone cabins and headed to bed, I fell asleep in my new cabin. As always, my ba was whisked away to who knows where as soon as my head touched the pillow. My journey ended in a very odd place. I saw two people standing there. I recognized one as Dylan, the one who attacked us in Brooklyn, and the other was a cloaked figure I didn't recognize.
"Have you found the other fragments yet, Zinc?" Dylan asked, leading me to assume the cloaked figure was named Zinc.
"No, but I can see your attack on the little lightning ninja did not go well either, did it brother?" Zinc's voice replied from under the hood of her cloak. I didn't know what these fragments were, but if Dylan wanted them, they couldn't be good.
"I simply underestimated the abilities of the people surrounding him, and clearly I overestimated my generals, but they have been dealt with, I assure you. Just focus on getting the- What is it?" I noticed a definite shift in his tone, and in the body language of both parties.
"Your mental defenses are getting dull, brother. We are being watched." I panicked at this. "Isn't that right, little girl? You are going to report this to the Green Ninja, I suppose? Good night, and I will see you on the field of battle the next time we meet." she waved her hand and a blue light cut off my vision as I was transported somewhere different. I was face-to-face with my old friend Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic.
"Now do you see why it is vital that they are stopped? Had I not intervened, you could have been killed." she was referring to an earlier conversation we had had while I was still unconscious, and while I was still confused as to their ultimate goal, I understood that they did have to be stopped. She let my ba go back to my body, and I was awoken by Carter.
"Sadie, get up! We were supposed to be in the dining hall ten minutes ago!" he shouted.
"Ten minutes ago? What time is it?" I replied looking at the alarm clock Kyle gave me. It was 7:45! Were these people mad? I followed Carter into the dining hall, which was rather grand for being on a flying boat and all. Everyone else was already seated, and most of the ninja in their uniforms. Kyle in particular was fidgeting with something shiny under the table. Carter and I sat down, and I noticed at the head of the table was a ninja in a green uniform. The Green Ninja, as Zinc had called him, and I decided she had the right idea in me telling him what I saw. I stood up and started to speak.
After I finished, both ninja wearing green uniforms looked upset. Finally, the girl in green spoke.
"Are you sure he asked Na- Zinc if she had found the fragments?"
"I'm positive. You almost called Zinc something else, like you knew her by a different name. Do you know her?" I'm sure that was a personal question, but I just wanted answers.
"I did know her by a different name. We all did. Until about six years ago we all knew her as Natalie Garmadon, but when my mother came back saying that the Green Ninja was going to be the downfall of Ninjago, she went with her, dividing the family. Four years later, my mother, Natalie, her half brother Dylan, and his father Talos raged war on us, a war that divided the Elemental Masters. In this war, Talos attempted to find and reunite the fragments of the soul of the Overlord, a spirit of pure evil. He failed, mostly because he was killed, as was my mother," she shot a dirty look at Kyle while saying this, "and Dylan vowed to destroy us by finishing what Talos started. Now we know that both of them are involved, and we have to find the fragments first." This all seemed very familiar to me, another evil being, a crazy person trying to bring it back, we have to prevent it, so on, and so forth.
"So where are these fragments?" Carter asked. I was curious as well.
"That's the thing, we don't know where most of them are. We do however, have one here on the Bounty, so unless Dylan and Zinc take the Bounty, which is unlikely, they cannot succeed in reviving the Overlord." she replied. With this, we ended breakfast, and the ninja went off to their morning training, and the rest of us were left to our own devices.
Sorry about this taking so long, I have been very busy with school (specifically math and marching band), but I should be posting more regularly, both here and on my Youtube channel.
