The Ninja of Oz

We're getting really close to the end! I can't believe how fast the months went by!

Anyway, we'll see if the ninjas will be successful in rescuing Nya and stop Morro once and for all. Read on!


Chapter 7: End of the Line

Ever since the cruel authoress left the ninjas in the haunted forest, Cole and Kai were able to fix Jay and Zane's bodies and now, they were ready to head to Morro's chamber and rescue Nya.

"Kai, do you remember the directions to Morro's lair?" Zane asked once he and Jay were back in their normal bodies.

"This way!" The little dog scampered off in the same direction as he came, making sure the rest of the gang don't lose sight of him. It wasn't too long before they reached Morro's windswept fortress of solitude.

"Geez, even the place gives me the creeps…" Cole shuddered.

"I hate to think of Nya trapped in there. We must get her out." Zane sniffled.

"This is no time to get all emotional!" Jay shushed them.

"Hey! Something's happening!" Kai yipped.

A bunch of stone guards marched before the fortress' entrance, doing that infamous chant and the ninjas noticed the gates opening solely for them.

"Guys, I have an idea." The scarecrow whispered.

"Oh no…" The ninja lion rolled his eyes.

"We don't have time for arguments. Jay, what's your plan?" The tin nindroid asked the lightning wielder before he and Cole can get into their infamous fights.

Jay gathered the others around him and revealed his plans through whispers. Unbeknownst to them, three of the stone guards were eavesdropping on them. The intruders sneaked up on the group and once they got close enough, they pounced on them, their stone bodies quickly taking the ninjas down but they weren't going down without a fight.

The ninjas soon emerged as victors of the scuffle, being… well… ninjas.

Now dressed in the same garb as the stone guards, they saw a second group approach the fort. Jay led out the ninjas until they were at the very end of the group and marched along with the stone guards. Once they were inside, they

"Okay, we're in. Now what?" Cole turned to Jay for answers.

"Kai, do you also remember which room Nya's in?" Zane asked.

"Oh, so NOW I get to be relevant!" Kai rolled his eyes.

"Just tell us where she is!" Jay hissed.

"I didn't get to see much of this place. I don't enough know the directions to her prison."

"Then we'll have to find her ourselves."

But before the ninjas can begin their search, they were spotted. The stone guards spoke in their own language but for the readers' conveniences, their dialogue will be translated.

"Hey, they aren't stone guards! They're bodies aren't stone!" The leader pointed at them.

"Crap!" The ninjas were chased throughout the castle halls by the stone guards, accompanied by cheesy chase music and wacky hijinks a la Scooby Doo.

"Wait, isn't this getting more than a little contrived?" Kai mused before they were cornered.

"This is all too easy." The leader of the stone guards gloated whilst pointing their spears at the motely gang.

The ninjas shook in the corner, awaiting the worst until yet again, plot devices saved them. The stone creatures were suddenly knocked out from some unknown force behind them. As it turns out the ninjas' savior was none other than…

"Nya! How did you get out!?" The ninjas were surprised to see our heroine NOT in distress. She stood triumphantly over the pile of beaten up stone guards, looking none the worse for wear.

"What? You seriously thought I'd just sit back and let you guys do all the work?" She retorted.

"How did you get free!?" Kai asked.

"It's actually a funny story. The thing is, I- "

"How are you still alive!?" Morro howled from the top of the stairs, interrupting Nya and stop her escape from making any sense.

"Just give up Morro! We all know nothing ends well for you!" Cole roared.

"No! I won't let you go so easily! Get them!" The man-witch commanded his minions, chasing the group all over his keep. This time, there were no cliché storms and the ninjas were cornered yet again. This time, Morro was right in front of them, ensuring there will be no escaping him.

"I've been waiting forever for this moment to get rid of you all. I shall enjoy every last minute of it." Morro smirked cruelly at the (again) helpless gang.

Seeing a torch above his enemies, a very sadistic idea grew in Morro's head. Reaching it with his broomstick, he ignited the bristles and aimed it at them, specifically Jay.

"You know what happens with things struck by lightning don't you? Now let's see how YOU like it!" He tilted the broomstick towards the scarecrow's arm and the hay inside immediately burst into flames and he cackled watching his victim burn.

"I'M BURNING! I'M BURNING! HELP!" Jay screamed bloody murder while flailing his fiery arm.

"Jay! Stop moving or you'll make it worse!" Zane tried to calm him down to no avail.

Nya spotted a bucket full of water and immediately grabbed it and threw its contents on Jay's burning appendage, putting out the flames. Morro shrieked as he was behind Jay and was also splashed. He IS a ghost after all and if any of you saw the original movie and season 5, you know what that means.

"Look what you've done you stupid bitch! I'm melting! Melting!" Morro howled in agony as his body began to dissolve, "Oh what a world, what a world! To think a puny girl like you would be the end of me twice! Noooooo…"

The ninjas stared at Morro melting away until all that was left of him were his dark clothes and a murky green puddle.

"See? You should've let me use the bathroom back then." The ninja dog reminded Nya of their first encounter with Morro that could've made things a whole lot easier.

"Kai, this isn't one of those stories." Nya chastised her canine brother.

"You did it… You actually killed the Man-Witch…" One of the stone guards gasped.

"Y-y-you're not going be mad a-are you…?" Cole gulped, fearing they'll want revenge.

"Hail Nya! The Man-Witch is dead!" The stone guards and winged Serpentine bowed before the samurai, relieved that their tyrannical boss is gone for good.

"The broomstick! Will you let us have it?" Nya asked, remembering the reason she even came here in the first place.

"Yeah!" The guards handed it over without a fight, much to the ninjas' relief.

"I don't know but I think we came off a little too easy," Jay started, "I thought we would have to go through some other crazy stuff like actually having to fight the- "

"Enough! Let's go!" The other ninjas ran off, taking him with them before Jay's ramblings could get them in trouble and make the story last much longer than it should.


That guy just never shuts up, does he?

So now that Morro's dead (again), Nya can finally have a moment of peace! But alas, I'm not through with her yet! This story's almost done but the torture isn't! Stick around for the final chapters & review!
