Jay groaned again for the fifth time as they left towards the park. Why on earth they were going was beyond him. One second he and Kai were wrestling, and the next one, Nya was telling him to prepare to leave for the park. Unlike what most people thought, he hated the Park. He preferred something with more action and speed, not watching some butterflies fluttering around all day.
"Why are we going to the Park?" He asked again as they climbed onto the dragon, minus Nya, who climbed into her suit. He could practically feel her eyes rolling as she placed on her helmet. That was the only answer he got, minus Cole telling him to put a sock in it, which was very pleasant if you asked him.
"We need a break from training, that's all." She explained curtly as she started up her suit. Kai glanced at his sister with confusion.
"Then why are you in your Samurai outfit? And why do we need our weapons?" Zane placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
"It's a surprise that I think you'd enjoy." Which is true considering Kai would love a fight with the Serpentine and maybe Garmadon himself. Cole was about to get on the dragon when Lloyd stopped him. Cole looked up at him and glared, daring him to try that again.
"Sorry Cole, but I don't think you should be going." His eyes widened and he shook his head, not believing a word the boy said.
"Cole I'm-"
"No, no, and no! You can't do this, not now!" He had been so pumped to finally pound on someone other than Jay, and now his only chance was gone.
"It wouldn't be wise to bring you, especially with recent events." Zane informed the small ninja, who had crossed his arms. Kai and Jay exchanged suspicious glances, thinking that this wasn't going to be some stroll in the park. Something big was going to happen, and it was so big that their leader couldn't even come.
"Guys seriously, what's up?" Jay asked with confusion laced in his voice. Nya rubbed her temples with frustration. They had to leave soon so they could get a head start; for once, they might actually be the ambushers this time.
"Cole you aren't coming, Kai and Jay, you guys will see when it happens, so can we please get moving already!?" She yelled at the boys. Everyone blinked at her for a second before they nodded heads down in slight shame and embarrassment.
"Zane, you're the leader here. Anything he says goes, so nobody argue with him." Zane nodded his head and smiled with slight pride at being leader for once. The others either nodded or complained that they weren't leading.
"Now get out of here already before I change my mind." With that said, the dragon and samurai suit flew high into the air, before making a path straight towards the Park.
The ninja and Samurai landed behind a large group of trees, which would be able to block anyone's view of them. Some noticed them flying above, how could you miss them, and waved. So much for being stealthy, Nya thought as she saw a large group of fan girls already forming. Luckily for them, they were in their average outfits, and not many people recognized them without their suits. Of course the weapons strapped to them might give off clues, but nobody seemed to notice or care.
They all hid behind a large bush, looking around for anything suspicious. Kai glanced around and turned to his sister.
"What's going on? First Cole can't come, then we have to bring our weapons to a park, and then we're hiding behind some bush looking at the grass growing." Jay nodded in agreement, equally confused on the situation. Lloyd shushed them and pointed far out to the left. They all looked over at the area, not understanding what was so great about a tree. However, they understood immediately when they saw shadows moving. Jay swore he could see a tail slither around the trunk.
"Wait, is that a-"
"Serpentine? Yes, that's why we came." Kai smirked and rubbed his hands with anticipation. He hadn't fought since Cole was shot with the weapon, and his fists were itching to punch a snake. Zane noticed this and shook his head.
"We are doing this properly. We can't have any more accidents." He started to form a plan in his head, thinking of ways to keep his family safe from harm. Think Zane, what would Cole do? Think Zane, think!
Lloyd knew that had a few moments before a fight would break out, and he was savoring every moment. You know, enjoy the scenery before it was destroyed. Yeah, simple things like that. Nya glanced over towards the shaded area by the tree, noticing more figures in the shadows moving. Most likely almost all of the Serpentine (they would want to take advantage) but she had no idea which types, how many, and who was leading.
It could be just Skales and the other generals, but then again, Garmadon might make an appearance, she thought cautiously to herself. She was brought back to reality when Zane tapped her shoulder. He got everyone's attention the same way until everyone was watching him.
"Okay, we have to be careful with this. We're in a popular public place, so remember, citizens are our first concern. If you see any of them in danger, you save them." Kai rolled his eyes. Well what idiot would run towards the large snakes? Honestly, if the person is that stupid, they kind of deserve to be smacked around a little.
"We should split into groups to cover more ground. I'm sensing a lot of enemies in this battle." They all glanced back to the tree, where more shadows slithered around. They were spreading out now, swerving in-between other trees.
"Whatever, can we fight now? I'm dying here!" Kai complained. Lloyd and Jay nodded each one ready to attack at any given moment. Zane frowned and turned his back slightly away from them to consult with Nya. She seemed to be the only one he could speak to at the moment. After talking with her for a few minutes they had the perfect plan. It was so well thought out; even an idiot couldn't screw it up.
"Okay guys, here's the-where'd they go?" Zane asked with shock when he saw his three brothers missing. They searched around their area with desperation, but they had no luck. Nya gasped suddenly, looking over to Zane.
"What is it Nya?" He asked when he heard her gasp. She looked over towards the area where the Serpentine were, concern written all over her face.
"You don't think they would-"She was interrupted by the sounds of battle cries coming from the Serpentine and her idiot family members. She could see a battle already breaking out from the shadows, coming to daylight. Citizens noticed the reptiles and screamed, running as fast as they could away from the Park.
Zane blinked at Nya and frowned before leaving their hiding spot. He looked back down at her and started in the direction towards the fight.
"Yes, I think they would."
