A/N so this chapter is for Allia Galastreak's (did I spell that right?) ninjas. Review, please, and tell me what you thought!

Disclaimer: don't own Ninjago. Will never.

Ryo had been Garmadon's oldest son, and it wasn't easy being the son of the most evil ruler of the Underworld.

And when he rebelled, he was kicked out, to a portal that led straight into a snake lair.

Ryo barley escaped, and a snake bit him, thus transforming him into a snake.

Thankfully, his friends had been there for him. But he still would slip into trances at random moments, and lose control of his anger.

Allia would still remember her father, the brave man who had fought in the terrible Battle of the Skeletons.

He had fought courageously, but in the end, was stabbed by an enemy and fell.

When she vowed to become a ninja, her mother disapproved, and tried to stop her.

But nothing would get between Allia and her decisions, not even her friends. She knew that she was strong enough to help others, and she used that to persuade her mom.

Nerveless, Madame Galastreak still didn't like the idea of a young girl venturing out into the world, and was pleased when her daughter made some friends.

Sapphira was best friends with the blonde girl, even before they became ninjas.

The two would run off in the middle of the night, talking and catching up on things.

So when they both decided to become ninjas, they knew they would remain good friends.

Ian was an orphan, so he really didn't know much about parents and rules and other things like that.

All he knew was that is was his duty to help the weak, and alongside his friends.

With all four ninjas…

"Hey! Are you going to explain the rules or what?" Allia demanded of Jay, who was arguing with Samar.

"Shut up already! You are so annoying!" Sam yelled at him, turning to the side so her long black hair fell like a curtain across her face.

"Sorry, blondie, give me a sec. And, nah, annoying you is fun."

Ian and Ryo groaned. Everyone had been divided into 4 groups, one with each ninja. Ryo, Allia, Sapphira, Ian, Samar, Zain, and Leah had been assigned with Jay, and he was a terrible guide—due to the fact hat he kept hitting on Samar, ignoring the rest of the team.

"Really? Can't you just tell us where to go?" Ryo sighed when he got no answer.

Shyly, Sapphira tapped her best friends shoulder, motioning to the purple-haired girl.

She was creeping behind jay with a dagger in her hand.

In a flash, the hilt struck Jay's head and he crumpled to the ground.

Samar's eyes widened as she knelt down and checked his pulse.

"You idiot! What was that for, you could have broken his skull!"

"He's a terrible ninja, he deserved it!"

"That's no reason to hit someone with a dagger!"

The two girls argued back and forth as Ian sighed.

"Ok, this is getting tiresome."

"Agreed." Allia and Ryo chimed in, and the silver-haired girl nodded her head, her deep blue eyes thoughtful.

"Why don't we explore a bit while Jay takes a nap?" she suggested, and the other nodded.

"Can I come?" the four swung around to see the little boy, with dark green hair and light blue eyes.

"AH!" no one turned around.

"I'm going to guess Jay just woke up?"

"To see Sam and Zara fighting over him?"

"Then yes, you're right."

Everyone groaned.

Twenty minutes later…

The four were deep inside the forest, weapons out, looking alert. Jay had allowed them to play a little game of sharks and minnows.

There were two teams: Jay, Samar, Zain, Zara, and Daniel on one, and the four friends on another. Whoever lost the fight had to sit out.

"Ok guys, here is the plan: Sapphira and I will take the middle. Ian, you take left flank, and Ryo takes left. Got it?" the green-eyed boy grinned at the blonde.

"Yup, we got it."

"Then go!"

The four raced to their assigned positions, and headed into enemy territory.

On the other side…

"OK, Sammy and I can take middle, Zain takes left, Zara can take right, and whoever's left can guard the flag!"

Sam blushed a little, ducking her head so her face was hidden from Jay. He just grinned and said, "Ok, troops, lets move!"

And that's when Ian, Ryo, Allia, and Sapphira burst into their side.

"Fight!"

Sam took on Ryo while Jay fought Allia. Ian was forced to attack Daniel and Zain, and Sapphira and Zara clashed.

A sword shot out icy arrows as a dark spear threw out dark waves of energy.

A golden spear lit up the grass while arrows of electricity and silver nun chucks were thrown.

Two daggers flashed as a water whip was flicked back and forth.

A golden katana whipped around wind as nun chucks through deadly lightening bolts.

Finally, the battle was over.

Jay and Sam had been defeated, but Sapphira and Ian had won.

"Ugh, I suck at being a ninja!" Sam muttered, kicking the ground, her blue eyes dark.

"Nah, you're pretty good." Jay flashed her a bright smile.

"Guys, I think we should get back. I see the other ninjas already assembling!" Daniel pointed off into the distance, and Jay nodded.

"Ok, lets go see the teams for the race!"

A/N again, please let me know how I did!
