Hey everyone! Sorry for being so long with this
Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago, just my OCs
Thunder and lightning pierced the sky as the bounty sailed through a storm. Wu sat in his room, meditating, spirit smoke filling the room. He saw images of the ninja being over come by serpentine. He and Pythor were at the City of Oroborus, when he heard a growl. The Great Devourer rose up and lunged.
Wu gasped.
Meanwhile, Kai, Jay, Nya and Amanda were sitting in the dining room. Jay was the only one eating. The fang blades were on the table.
"Why is torch fire mountain the only place where we can destroy the fang blades?"
"Because the fang blades are made from the teeth of the original Devourer. They're so strong, they can only break down in extraordinary heat"
"Nice to see you're keeping up on your history" Amanda looked at the blades. "Maybe I can do something to help? After all, I've got other weird freaky powers"
"Hey, can someone pass the salt?" The ship then jerked and the salt slid down the table. Jay picked it up. "Hwy, thanks" he put some on his sandwich as Cole opened the door, looking green.
"Please...no one talk about food..." The ship rolled and he stumbled, grabbing the door frame to keep balance. "How much longer until we get there?"
"Not long. Hey Cole you're looking a little green over there. How'd you like a mucks salt sandwich?"
Cole gagged then ran to the railing.
Jay chuckled. Amanda raised an eyebrow. "I thought that was a ham sandwich"
"He doesn't need to know. Speaking of green, who would have thought that little Lloyd Garmadon turned out to he the green ninja?"
"I know. He was such a brat at first. It's hard to believe he's gonna be the greatest ninja ever lived-"
Kai coughed, stopping Nya. "Where is the little runt?"
Despite the rocking ship, Lloyd was down below, with some training equipment. He coughed and dropped his voice a litter lower. "Serpentine. It's time I spinjitzued you right back to the filthy holes you came from! Ninja kick! Tiger claw! Ninja-go!" He spun, then tripped and a dummy hit him, he flew through the air and hit the beam to the other fighting equipment. He fell and landed on his back. "Ow..."
He heard laughing and looked up. Ashlynn was standing over him. "That was some training, green ninja"
"I'm improving, dragon" She smirked and helped him up. Lighting then flashed and Lloyd saw something for a spit second. They both heard chuckling. They looked around.
"What a joke. You always were a boy who chased stupid dreams" Lloyd was grabbed and picked up and Ashlynn was tied up with something. Pythor then came into view.
"Pythor! How did you get aboard?" Ashlynn struggled to get out of Pythor's grip. She couldn't shift while being so frantic.
"You really think I would allow the ninja to steal the fang blades from me?" He pushe'd Lloyd against a punching bag and tied him up.
"You'll never get away with it!" Pythor put tape around Lloyd's mouth, then got to work tying up Ashlynn.
"Tsk Tsk tsk. I wouldn't worry about that. As they saw, out of sight..." he vansihed. "Out of mind"
Lloyd and Ashlynn struggled.
On the road in front of torch fire mountain, a tour bus pulled to a stop. "Thanks folks for picking the Ninjago tour company to see our lands most scenic destinations! And if you look to your left, you'll see Ninjago's very own Torch Fire Mountain! Where the. Ore of the natural volcano and reach up to three bajillion degrees!"
A little boy in the buzz looked up and saw the bounty flying by. "Look mommy, a flying ship!"
"Oh honey. Ships don't fly, only planes"
"No mommy, it's a ship!"
"Uh huh, that's nice honey"
The bounty, which could in fact fly, was over the volcano. Nya hit the intercom button. "Would everyone please place their seats up and fold in their tray tables? We have reached our destination, Torch Fire Mountain" she a button and the anchor went down to secure then in placr. "Give us a minute whIle we settle into position"
Sarah snorted in laughter. "You have too much fun with this job" she went on deck to join the others.
Wu looked out over the volcano, the imaged still fresh in his mind. The others came out on deck.
"Jeez! It's roasting out here!" I'd you can't stand the geat, stay out of the kitchen"
"Guys..." Amanda placed a hand on Kai's arm. "What's wrong with Sensei?" They all saw him, standing near the edge, looking into the lava.
"I do not know. He's been distant all morning"
Wu sighed. "It is beautiful. Is it not?"
The ninja walked over. "Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the fang blades. Yet...you seem disinterested"
"You do not need my approval to finish the task"
"But Sensei-"
"Butts are for sitting. And besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me"
Amanda tried to ignore the punch in the heart and went to his side. She looked at her hand. "Maybe..." She put her hand on his shoulder, but nothing happened. No silver mist, nothing. Amanda frowned.
"But Sensei, you're talking crazy. You've been alive for like...forever" Sarah punched his shoulder.
"What he is trying to say is, you are like the sunrise..."
"We can not begin the day without you"
"Ah, but even the sun must go down, so a new day begins"
Kim huffed and laugh and looked out. "or so someone's world can be cast in eternal darkness...my sun had set long ago Sensei...not every day behinds with a glow..."
"I don't like metaphors, what are you trying to say? Are ypu leaving us again?"
"In meditation, my smoke visions have come to an end. And tomorrow I can not see. This worries me"
Amanda leaned against the railing. "Better to not see tomorrow then to feel the pain of what you know what will happen. Don't forget what you told me when I could first see the future..."
Jay coughed. "But hey, maybe it could be a good omen? We destroy the fang blades, and everything's gravy!"
"Yeah. Don't see nothing as something bad. Sometimes nothing can be a good thing"
"Let's just get rid of them for good"
The gang plank was set down. The giys were the ones throwing then over board.
"Be careful you guys"
"Well be fine...maybe"
"I don't like to hear maybe, Kai..."
Pythor was below, by the generators. He threw a hammer and busted up a generator. Suddenly the ship started to shutter.
"Whoa!" Everyone started sliding to one side. Or course that side would be the lava. Wu slid down the plank and grabbed the edge.
"Sensei!" They slowly started walking towards him, the fang blades thrown behind. "Hang on we're coming!"
Wu's grip suddenly slipped. He started falling towards the lava...
Suddenly a hand grabbed him. He looked up and Amanda had him. The ninja had formed a chain, so that they could grab him. "If you think you're leaving with that whole, seeing nothing speech, you have another thing coming"
Wu smiled. "Thank you, Amanda"
Kai looked back at the bridge. "Someone, or something has over ridden the system!"
Lloyd and Ashlynn struggled to get loose.
'Ashlynn, you must calm down! We cannot shift until you calm down!'
"Hard to calm down at the moment when I'm tied up!"
Lloyd managed to get loose first and ran for the intercom button. He hit the button as the tape fell off.
"Pythor's on board!"
The ninja gasped as they heard Lloyd. Pythor laughed as he held the fang blades. "Sorry if I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole, Devourer thing going on" he chuckled as he slid away. "Toodle loo!"
"Where do you think you're going?" Lloyd was there with a bamboo staff.
Pythor sighed. "Little cliche, don't you think?"
"Uh...cliche?"
"Oh, I wouldn't expect a child to understand..."
"Hey, I've grown a lot!" He launched at Pythor, swinging, but Pythor easily dodged.
"Hm, puny strength, no fundimentales, sloppy footwork. You think you can defeat me?"
"I'm not trying to defeat you! I'm just keeping you busy until the cavalry arrives!" Nya landed in her suit. Pythor backEd up. He turned to run when he saw face to face with Ashlynn in her dragon form. She growled, showing her teeth and slowly stalked towards him.
While he was distracted, Lloyd launched through and managed to kick his head. Pythor was knocked back.
"I hit him! I hit him guys!"
Ashlynn and Nya cornered him. Pythor slid under Nya's legs as she went to grab him. Ashlynn linged, but she ended up hitting Nya's leg and they stumbled.
"As much as I'd like to play with your over grown toys and pets, I've got a ride to catch!" He jumoed off the edge.
They all went over to see him. "No!"
Pythor fell through the air onto a snake chopper. "So long suckers!" It took off.
Meanwhile, the ninja were dangling over the edge over a lava pit. "Don't let go!"
"You think I don't know that!?"
Suddenly they slipped off and they all fell through the air. Suddenly, Nya caught then and flew back up.
"Phew, never thought I'd be glad to see you again!"
"Feel the same!" They landed. "C'mon, he's getting away!"
"Look there!"
Ashlynn grumbled and looked over the edge. "we can get them, we have wings!"
'But no flight experience! This is not a good time to do the bird method of just jumping out into the air! We need to wait, your friends will catch them'
The helicopter was beeping and smoking. "The City of Oroborus is miles away! This rattler copter will never get us there in time! They'll catch up to us in-!"
"Don't worry! We've already made preperationsss..."
"What preparations?"
The tour bus had stopped and the serpentine were getting people off.
"I take it you're pleasssed?"
"Very, very pleased Skales"
"Mommy. Snakes are kicking people off the bus!"
"Don't be silly honey, snakes don't-" rhe mom gasped as serpentine got into the car and started getting people off.
Everyone was off the bus. "See mommy? Snakes"
The bus started with all the serpentine on and took off. "Next stop! Oroborus!"
Lloyd and Ashlynn carried the case with the golden weapons down, but they ended up dropping it on deck. They cringed.
"If Pythor gets the blades to the city, he'll awaken The Great Devourer!"
"Well, we're not gonna let that happen!"
Lloyd carried the case over to the ninja. "What about us?"
"We need someone to stay with the bounty"
"But did you see me kick him in the face? I'm an asset! I kick butt! And face"
"Patience, kid! You're too important now that you're the chosen one"
"Patience, hm? Seems the student has become the teacher" Amanda bumped her hip into Kai's.
"What do you say we play a little catch up?"
"It's my favorite game!"
Sarah strapped her bracelets on. "Let's give these snakes a run for their money!"
"Ninja-go!" They all jumped over the edge and summoned their vehicle weapons. Nya took off.
Everyone took of down the mountain towards the road. Jay and Kim were in the air. "We've got 'em in our sights!"
"Let's go!"
"Is this part of the tour?" The driver was the only one on board with the snakes.
"Oh shut up and drive!"
Skales looked at the camera what played behind the truck. "Huh?" He saw ninja! "Sssir! The ninja are on our tail! They'll catch up with usss in no time!"
"Ninja!" He grabbed the microphone and turned it on. "Good afternoon my cold blooded minions! If you look to the left and behind you you'll find...ninja! So annoying, so man your atations, chaps! We've got guests! Let's make sure we go them a ride of their life time!"
Fangpyre bit the bus and started turning it into a snake vehicle.
"Oh, great. Fantastic..."
"What is that? A truck?"
"That is no truck! It is a moving fortress!"
They tried to get closer, but suddenly the tail at the end started slamming.
"Yo Yo yo!" Sarah swerved to avoid being hit. "Hey, im driving here!"
"What out! How do we get close to that thing?"
Suddenly guns popped out the sides and started shooting.
"Not easily! Look out!" They swerved to avoid behind hit. They were mostly being aimed at Jay, Nya and Kim
Suddenly, snakes motorcycles landed Don the rode from the fortress and drove towards them.
"Oh, for the love of...don't these snakes every run out of gadgets?!"
They surrounded Kai. "Bring it on!"
"Kai, be careful!" He took a sword out and jammed it in the wheel of one. It stopped the cycle and threw the snake off. The other one jumped on the back of Kai's motorcycle. He suddenly stopped and threw the snake off.
Meanwhile, the others were trying to get close. The back car had the tail and guns and didn't make it easy.
"I swear, when I get my hands on Pythor, I'm gonna wring that long, skinny neck of his!"
Suddebly the sides opened and more motorcycles came out. Sarah screamed on frustration.
"We've got company!" Nya heard slurping behind her and saw Sensei drinking tea. "Sensei!"
Kim flew closer. "Of we don't do something, Sarah's gonna take her frustration to a new level that I don't think we want to see!"
"Um...let me see..." Sensei grabbed the handles. Suddenly, the arm of the mech shit a boomerang at the snakes. It blew up something, knocking the cycles over, then flew back. "Oh, this is fun!"
"Lloyd, grab the wheel!"
"I am! Whoa!" The bounty flew left and right in the air. They couldn't fly straight.
"Lloyd, if we don't straighten out..." Ashlynn grabbed the bales and held her stomach and moaned. "I think I'm gonna be sick..."
To snakes jumped on Cole's vehicle, but he just threw them off. "Of we have any chance at getting on that truck, we need to work together!"
"I've got an idea! Jay, Kim, follow me! Zane, Amanda, try and get close, and cool them off!"
Jay, Nya and Kim flew close and the guns fired. "We're going in!" Zane and Amanda got close.
"Ninja-go!" They spun and jumped on, mocking snakes over. Amanda jumped onto the next car and knocked an arrow in. She nodded to Zane. He froze the connectors. "Good bye!" He jumoed on it and it broke, senior the car away. Amanda fired the arrow and it pulled wind and the car with it, sending it far back.
"Alright! Nice job you two! Now let's board!"
"We're running out of time! If the ninja ssstop usss from getting to the cccity, we may never awake The Devourer!"
"Don't lecture me!" He turned to the driver. "Faster!"
"I can't! If we drive any faster, the engine could explode!"
"Fine, I'll drive. Get out"
"N-Now?"
"Now"
The driver was thrown out of the car and onto the side of the road. "I hate snakes..."
"Don't let them reach the front!"
"I will persssonally sssee to it myssself!" Skales slid to the back and Pythor gunned the engine.
The ninja all managed to get on board. "Let's split up! Last one to the front is a rotten ninja!"
"Alright!"
Jay and Sarah dropped into a car and spun, knocking everyone out. They stopped.
"Where'd everyone go?"
"Aw man..."
Kai and Kim were on top. The wind was bad up here. More snakes came up, but one was knocked free because of the speed.
"This is not easy!"
A snake hit Kai and about knocked him off. He grabbed a window sill.
Zane was in the car below them and froze some snakes. He glanced out the window and saw Kai. "What? You rtry fighting up here!"
Kim pulled him up, but they had snakes on them. Nya then landed on the car. "Mind if I interrupt?" She swiped them off.
One jumped next to Sensei, who was pouring tea. He jumped up, and the snake followed him. "Hm...hold this please" he handed him a cup.
"Oh. Yeah" He took the cup and Sensei poured tea. "Thanksss"
Wu punched him off and caught the cup. "Thank you"
"Sign!" Kim pointed ahead.
"Watch out!"
"Duck, duck!"
"I'm trying! I cant! While the others ducked, Nya and two serpentine were knocked off. The remaining serpentine laughed.
Kai and Kim glared at them. "Ninja-go!" They spun and knocked them off.
Nya threw the sign off. "I told you to duck"
"I don't want to hear it..." she took off after them.
Amanda and Cole walked into the next car. It was empty...until they turned and saw snakes.
"No where to go, losers!" They laughed. Cole and Amanda stood back to back.
"You got Skales?"
"You doing okay?" Amanda nodded.
They summoned their vehicles and pulled out the weapons, Cole at Skales, Amanda at the runt behind them.
"N-N-No!"
There was a beeping from both of them and they fired, knocking Skales and the snakes out. They flashed out and Cole laughed, holding up his scythe. "I love this thing!"
"Don't make Sarah jealous-" the roof ot the car was suddenly ripped open and Nya was there.
"Cole, Amanda" Wu jumped in. "Good to see you"
"Likewise" the others came in, except for Kai and Kim.
Suddenly the engine caught fire and the whole thing shook and it veered.
"Whoa!"
Kai and Kim stumbled in. Naturally, Zane caught Kai and Kim landed on Sarah.
"Nice catch Zane!"
"Kim. I swear! Do you hone in on me or something?!"
"Sorry..." Kim pulled her up.
"Last one in is a rotten ninja~"
Kia sighed and went to the doors. "So be it. But one more car to go! Pythor is in there with the four fang blades. Who's first?"
Suddenly, in a blur, Sense jumped onto the next car and disconnected the car the ninja were on.
"Sensei!"
"What are you doing?!"
"My destiny is to fave Pythor alone! You're destiny is to look after Lloyd!"
Kai groaned. "This is turning into a habit with him! How do we get off this thing?!"
The car drifted farther behind.
"Lloyd...you need to see this..."
Lloyd gazed up around the wheel. "The Lost City of Oroborus..."
"Just as we remember, huh...Pythor's getting closer, we need to pick up speed" Lloyd nodded and his a button, and they sped up.
Wu walked into the car that Pythor was in. Pythor looked back and sneered.
"This ends now!"
"So be it!"
"Now what? We sit here?" The ninja just sat in the car, they couldn't catch up to Pythor.
"Not else we can do"
"This is really boring..."
Suddenly the anchor to the bounty smashed through the car and started pulling them up.
"Lloyd! Ashlynn!"
"Hook, line-"
"And sinker!"
"To Oroborus as fast as you can!"
"Aye eye captin!"
They sped up and got closer to the city.
Pythir swung, but Wu ducked.
"Ninja-go!" Wu spun, filing the rooming with golden light. Pythor hissed and tried to hit him, but he couldn't. Finally he wacked him hard enough to knock him off balance. Pythor grabbed him tight.
"You're getting slow old man!" Pythor opened his mouth the eat him. Wu looked around, then stomped on his tail. Pythor howled in pain, then Wu hit him.
Suddenly the bus hit something and it titled. It crashed. Pythor crawled out with the fang blades and quickly slithered into the city.
He got to the statue and was in the mouth. "Finally...The Great Devourer will be awakened" he put the fang blades in little nooks in the teeth. They all glowed. He chuckled. "Perfect" he slithered down and into the arena.
Suddebly the statues started leaking venom. Pythor laughed. "It's working! Awaken great beast! Awaken with the hunger that will soon consume all of Ninjago!"
"What have you done?!" Wu stood at the entrance.
Pythor turned, a look of madness and joy on his face. "Don't you see? Releasing The Great Devourer is the only way to get back at the people of locking my kind underground for all those years! We should have been the once ruling the surface! Not YOU!"
"You're playing with a power that can not be controlled! It will consume everything! Even the Serpentine!"
The ground started the rumble...no...it was the statue. "UNLEASH GREAT DEVOURER! AND BE FREE TO DO MY BIDDING, FOR I HAVE AWAKENED YOU!"
TThe ninja were getting closer. "Um, guys...that doesn't !" The city was glowing green.
"Lloyd! Land us down right there!" They landed. The ninja took off, Lloyd and Ashlynn right behind them
Pythor panted and looked around. Suddenly the statue fell apart. Pythir froze, looking around. "No...no...it isn't inside the statue?" He picked up a rock. "Then where is it?" The ground below him rumbled and he took a glance.
The ground was falling apart. He yelled as eyes peered through the dark haze below. "It's so big!" He slithered right into Wu.
"You shall stay to see what you've awakened!" He jumped on Pythor.
"Let me go you fool!" He tossed him off. "Don't you see?! It's UNDERNEATH US!" He tried to Slither away. Wu grabbed him and pulled him back.
"This...is OUR destiny!" Pythor whimpered.
The ninja were watching everything. "What's going on?"
Amanda took a step back. She felt it. The hunger, the anger...she felt it's emotions. Her heart clenched and her lungs squeezed.
"What's that creature underground?"
Wu looked at them. "You must do everything in your power to stop The Great Devourer! Go, ninja! Go!"
"No! Sensei..."
The Devourer Suddebly bursts through eh ground rising up...and up...and up. It had a grown and spikes running down its back. It's eyes glowed purple. It's fangs were huge. It looked down at Wu and Pythor and roard, opening it's crown.
And it lunged...
And boom! Gonna stop this there! Sorry for taking so long everyone, I feel bad...but hey, new computer on the way! Woo! Anyway, stay tuned, one more chapter!
