Chapter 10
The only cold-blooded out of all
Dedicated to my friend Minnie. There's a tiny bit of Hunger Games in this Chapter… I DO NOT OWN HUNGER GAMES!
With the snakes
"When shall we strike Pythor?" A constrictai snake named Clato (OC) asked.
"Soon, I want them to think that they are safe then we'll attack," Pythor replied to his closest friend.
"But, to be honest, I think we should get the water ninja now," Clato suggested. Pythor eyes were narrowed with anger.
"I said soon Clato!" Pythor snapped and turned to go to his chair. Clato thought now was the perfect time to strike. When no one was looking, he dig underground heading towards the sea. Once reach to the sand, he dig upwards and found himself standing on an empty silent beach during the night. He walked over to the rainforest and made himself a boat with a paddle. He pushed it onto the water and it floated. Once he got on… it sank.
"You dumb boat!" Clato hissed at the boat as he walked up to the beach dragging the craft he made with him. He had more branches and banana leaves to prevent the water leaking in. He tried it again and it finally worked. He pushed the boat into sea then he jumped on it and it successfully floats. He got his paddle and paddled until he reached the bounty.
With the Ninjas
This time, Lloyd couldn't get to sleep. He woke up around a hour ago to find Zane getting in bed. Lloyd went out of his covers and tipped – toed out of the room. He was making his ways to the decks but Melanie's room light was on.
"Is she back?" He thought to himself then he heard a soft song being singed.
"So in depth, hold on with all of my might.
Waiting in the rain, a cold winter night.
Inhale, exhale. Calm as I am.
Hair blowing in the wind.
Somebody take my hand,"
Lloyd made his hand into a fist knocked the door quietly so he wouldn't wake the others.
"Who's there?" Melanie whispered as she got near the door.
"It's Lloyd," The green ninja replied. Melanie opened the door.
"What's wrong?" Melanie asked.
"You're back," Lloyd said as he looked at Melanie's leg.
"Yeah… why don't we talk outside so we won't wake up the others?"
"Ok," the two left Melanie's room and walked to the decks.
"Normally is take 24 hours to change but it was really quick," Melanie explained to Lloyd. "Because I didn't know when I was going to turn back, I stayed underwater but I was so lucky that Zane was on the decks looking at me from above."
"So you're trying to say that you nearly drowned and Zane dived in and rescue you?" Lloyd asked.
"Yeah, Kai was there too,"
"I know I have asked many question that requires your past but… why did my dad put a curse on you?" The 11 year old asked.
"One night I got out of bed and went into the ocean to see the whales migrate. A big wave came crashing down on me. I cried for help and my mother came but risked her life on saving me… It made your father's best friend's wife sad because my mother was her best friend. Her husband was mad at me and asked your dad to seek revenge on me. He couldn't do something so evil since I didn't do anything to him so he casted this stupid cursed on me," Melanie explained.
"Oh…"
"Question, why are you awake right now?"
"I couldn't get to sleep when Zane entered the room," Lloyd answered just then he yawned. "I'm going to go the bed now… good night," and Lloyd left. Melanie went to the rails and looked up at the sky. She admires the Milky Way and how the stars circled around it. Just then, Melanie felt something rapidly cover her mouth then grab her hairs. She looked down at her mouth and saw a black scaly hand.
"Don't make a sound," the snake hissed quietly. Clato removed his hand and put duct tape on Melanie's mouth and grab hold of her hands. He climb down the bounty and placed her in his hand-made boat. He got a bit on rope and tied her hand and legs. He quickly paddled away so the ninjas won't notice he was there. Once he got to the beach, he dragged Melanie through the sand into the tunnel and dragged her into the Serpentine hide out. He put her in a sack and carried her to Pythor.
"I got her Pythor," Clato whispered softly. Pythor's face grew more confused.
"What do you mean?" he snapped. When the others snake weren't looking, Clato opened the sack to show the water ninja. Once he saw Melanie, a grinned grew on his face.
"Clato, you are now in 2nd command," Pythor whispered then he shouted " Boys, let's celebrate!"
With the ninjas
It was morning and the ninjas were up.
"Hey, Is Melanie still in the ocean?" Cole asked.
"No, she's in her room," Zane informed as he finished making his bed.
"How do you know?" Jay asked as he went to Zane. The white ninja explained how he saved Melanie.
"We should get going," Kai suggested and the 5 ninjas left the room and went onto the decks for training.
"Shouldn't she be awake by now?" Zane asked Kai as the two waited for Melanie.
"Maybe we should check on her," Kai said and the two went to Melanie's room and knock at her door but there was no answer.
"Melanie, are you in there?" Zane asked loudly but there was still no answer. Kai placed his hand on the door handle. "You can't just go and open the door, who knows, she could be getting change,"
"Then she would be answering," Kai opened the door but Melanie wasn't in there.
"Where could she be?" Zane ask to no one in particular. The two went back onto the decks.
"Have you guys seen Melanie?" Kai asked.
"No… why?" Cole asked as he stands up.
"We can't find her, she's not in her room," Zane reported.
"When was the last time you saw here?" Jay asked.
"When Zane saved her," Kai answered.
"I saw her on the decks last night one hour after you came into the room," Lloyd informed. "We talked on the decks then I went to bed and she was still on the deck,"
"What did she say to you?" Cole asked.
Flashback
Lloyd made his hand into a fist knocked the door quietly so he wouldn't wake the others.
"Who's there?" Melanie whispered as she got near the door.
"It's Lloyd," The green ninja replied. Melanie opened the door.
"What's wrong?" Melanie asked.
"You're back," Lloyd said as he looked at Melanie's leg.
"Yeah… why don't we talk outside so we won't wake up the other,"
"Ok," the two left Melanie's room and walked to the decks.
"Normally is take 24 hours to change but it was really quick," Melanie explained to Lloyd. "Because I didn't know when I was going to turn back, I stayed underwater but I was so lucky that Zane was on the decks looking at me from above."
"So you're trying to say that you nearly drowned and Zane dived in and rescue you?" Lloyd asked.
"Yeah, Kai was there too,"
"I know I have asked many question that requires your past but… why did my dad put a curse on you?" The 11 year old asked.
"One night I got out of bed and went into the ocean to see the whales migrate. A big wave came crashing down on me. I cried for help and my mother came but risked her life on saving me… It made your father's best friend's wife sad because my mother was her best friend. Her husband was mad at me and asked your dad to seek revenge on me. He couldn't do something so evil since I didn't do anything to him so he casted this stupid cursed on me," Melanie explained.
"Oh…"
End Of Flashback
"Maybe because she changed back quickly, she changed back again to make up the other hours," Zane said making his way to the bounty's edge.
"Are you going to search for her?" Kai asked. Zane nodded and dived in.
"Is it just me or is Zane really protective of Melanie?" Jay questioned.
"Yeah, I think he have a crush but he keeps on denying it," Kai informed.
"Are you serious?" Cole asked, Kai nodded.
"She's not down here!" Zane shouted as climb up the rope.
"Let's go to Nya and see what the camera had taken," Lloyd suggested as they looked at the camera. The 5 ninja ran into the bridge but no one was there. Jay walked up to the computer.
"Do you know what you are doing?" Kai asked as Jay was imputing some codes.
"Yeah… I think," Jay muttered. After a minute or 2, a video came up with Melanie and Lloyd on the deck.
"You did it," Cole cheered. The 5 watched and saw how the constrictai grab Melanie and dragged her away.
"Oh no," Zane whispered.
"We have to go and get her," Lloyd shouted and dashed out of the door. The others followed. The young boy jumped on his dragon while the 4 ninjas joined Lloyd since Cole, Kai and Zane can't go on water with their vehicles.
"Come on Lloyd, can't we go faster?" Kai asked.
"If we don't hurry, the Serpentine will suck Melanie's powers," Jay shouted over the wind blowing through their ears.
"I'm trying too!" Lloyd shouted. As they reached the beach, Lloyd flew them down and they jumped off and stand outside of the tunnel.
"I think it's big enough for us to ride Kai motorbike," Cole suggested.
"Big enough or not, we need to get there quickly!" Zane demanded. Kai swing his Sword around and it transformed into his motorbike. The 5 ninja squeezed onto the bike and Kai drive through the tunnel. At last, they ended at a sewer.
"Let me go!" They heard someone scream. The 5 ninjas sneaked behind a wall and saw Melanie in Pythor's hand.
"Now, let's all give a special thanks to Clato!" The purple snake shouted. The crowd cheered as Clato stood next to Pythor.
"Put me down!" Melanie screamed wriggling in Pythor's hands.
"Tonight, we're going to get her power for once and for all," Pythor announced then the center of the hideout flipped over and there was a cylinder with many cables connected to it and what looks like a stray bottle surrounding the cylinder.
"We need to strike now," Zane whispered.
"But how? I mean like if we go and attack, we could be captured since there's like 1000 snakes and we need to think of a plan," Cole said as they saw Pythor going towards the cylinder.
"I said let me go!" Melanie shouted and kicked Pythor which caused him to let go of her. The 5 ninjas jumped out of their hiding spot and started to kick butt but Zane ran to Melanie to protect her.
"Your right Kai," Jay shouted as he wrack a venomari snake.
"Told you so," Kai showed off as he finished off 6 snakes with his spinjitzu.
"Zane!" Melanie screamed with delight as Zane finished off 4 snakes chasing her.
"Are you OK?" Zane asked as he stood in front of Melanie.
"Yeah… how did you know I got captured?" Melanie asked as she kicked a snake behind her.
"Long story," Zane replied, he picked up Melanie by the hands and spins around while Melanie was kicking the snakes. Zane place her down and the two continue to attack.
"Hang on Lloyd!" Cole shouted as he pushed away 3 snakes and made his way to Lloyd who was cover with at least 7 serpentine's snakes.
"Ninja GO!" Cole shouted and jumped over Lloyd which he got rid of 5 snakes. Lloyd easily kick off the other two.
"How are you going?" Lloyd asked.
"Ok… ish,"
"What do you mean by ish,"
"Almost got strayed by the venomari and almost got bitten by the Fangpyre," Cole explained. Lloyd laughed and then kicks another 2 snakes.
"Clato, try and get the girl," Pythor whispered to his 2nd in command.
"Ok Pythor" Clato obeyed and ran to Zane and Melanie.
"Melanie, watch out!" Zane yelled as Clato went to grab Melanie but before he did, Zane dived and pushed Melanie out of the way. Clato grabbed Zane instead and the evil snake squeeze him.
"You can make all of this stop if you come here," Clato persuade Melanie.
"Don't… listen to him," Zane tried to say. She came to Clato and he let go of Zane but once he did, Melanie jumped up in the air, spin around and kick Clato in the face causing him to fly around 5 meters back, not much but it was good for Melanie since she just started.
"Good job Melanie," Zane cheered. Melanie smiled and had a light shade of red on her cheeks.
"Guys, let's leave now," Kai shouted as he and Jay was near the tunnel Clato had dig before. The other 4 ninjas quickly leave.
"All of us can't fit onto Kai's bike," Jay said as he looked at kai's bike then the snakes that were behind them.
"What about mines?" Zane asked.
"Let's just give it a try," Lloyd said and Zane changed his golden weapon into a snowmobile and it fit perfectly.
"Melanie, Lloyd, go with Zane," Cole instructed as Jay and Kai and him went on Kai's motorbike. The 6 rode off. Once they go onto the beach, they notice that the dragon was gone.
"How are we supposed to get to the bounty?" Kai asked.
"How many people can fit into Jay's jet?" Melanie asked.
"3 (I think so)," Jay replied.
"Oh, I was think it 5 people can fit, I can always swim," Melanie explained her original plan.
"You can't swim by yourself though," Cole informed.
"Guys, quickly, the serpentine is almost out," Lloyd shouted as he came back from the tunnel.
"Since Lloyd is small, you guys can hop in the jet while someone else can swim with me," Melanie suggested.
"But we aren't a fast swimmer," Zane reported.
"I can drag you guys," Melanie suggested. "But only Zane,"
"Why?" Kai asked but Melanie jumped into the ocean.
"You know," Melanie said as she lifted up her legs.
"You're changing now?" Jay asked.
"Yes, you guys need to leave now before I…" But Melanie legs started to turn aqua.
"Just go in," Zane demanded the green, blue, red and black ninja jumped into the jet and left. Zane ran back to the water where Melanie was covering her nose and pinching her neck to stop the thirst. Zane dive in. Melanie removed her hands and grabbed Zane's hand and started to pull him away from the beach.
"I hope no I saw us," Zane words turned into bubbles.
"I hope so too," but she stop once she couldn't pull Zane. She looks behind and saw the serpentine grab a hold of Zane's legs.
"Zane!" She cried as she pulled him but the other snakes grab a hold of Melanie's tail. Then the snakes that hold Zane went to Melanie.
"Hold on Melanie!" he shouted.
"It's alright, Zane, I got this, just go on!" she shouted and wrack the snakes off her with her tail.
"But Melanie," Zane argued.
"Just go!" Melanie screamed.
