*sigh* I'm gonna say it. I'M TERRIBLE AT THIS FANFICTION THING. God, when I was starting out, I had chapters ready every day! Well, things have changed quite a bit, and I haven't been able to post chapters as often as I would have liked. Plus, I've been pretty lazy, and been falling out of the Ninjago fandom when suddenly twenty short films came out and BAM I'm back! I have a very short attention span, and I'm sorry for that. There was one point where I felt not very motivated, then suddenly I checked my email account and WHAM! Reviews! You have no idea how happy I was to see support. So...I'm not going to lie and say that updates will come sooner anymore, but I'll try as hard as I can to update sooner.

By the way, did you guys know that I've also gotten obsessed with Steven Universe? Check out my Deviantart (CraftyNinjaCat13) to see me more active and drawing!

Another thing, I'm considering rewriting The return of the Mechanic. What do you think?

Now, without further ado...there's a Beldam to be defeated.

Cole stomach churned as he stepped through the corridor, the wallpaper peeling off into little grey scrolls as he passed by. Great. Everything was starting to rot. Without the power of the eyes, even the house was turning grey.

He slowly walked into the living room, which was lit up with an eerie green glow. The bug furniture was spasming, like an insect on its way to Death's door. Gross.

"So...you're back." the Beldam murmured, his figure distorted and face covered in black cracks, "And...you brought vermin with you."

"No! Uh-I mean...I brought a friend." Cole said.

"You were always my favourite student." the Beldam said, stepping closer to Cole.

"You have a very weird way of showing it." Cole spat. He knew that the last thing he wanted was to be impaled by the Beldam's spindly needle fingers, but he was pissed.

"So...where are they? The ghost eyes?" the Beldam asked.

Cole warily took the balls out of his satchel and showed them to the Beldam. The Beldam reached out to grab them, but Cole closed his fist before he could get a hold of them.

"Hang on. We're not finished yet. Are we?" Cole asked.

"Ugh. I suppose not. After all, you still have to find your old Sensei. And that other woman." the Beldam said.

"Her name's Misako."

"Gesundheit. And it's a shame really. Since you won't have...this."

The Beldam pulled the stone out of his pocket. Cole gasped as her threw it into the fireplace, laughing as it quickly melted from the heat. Suddenly, she heard a voice coming from the green eye (NOTE: I SCREWED UP IN THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER. THE BALL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GREEN).

Be clever, mister! Even if you win, he'll never let you go!

Cole saw the little door, half blocked by the bug drawers and locked. Oh boy. Time to tell some fat stinking lies.

"I already know where you've hidden them." Cole said.

"Hmm. Alright. Produce them." the Beldam said, folding his arms.

"They're behind that door." Cole said, pointing to the door.

"Oh, they are, are they?" the Beldam whispered, walking to the door, "Hmm...I'm afraid not."

He coughed up the key and unlocked the door. It swung open, revealing no Sensei. He took a thread and needle out of his pocket.

"Now...you're going to stay here FOREVER."

That's when Cole picked up the first thing insight and threw it at the Beldam. In this case, it happened to be the Cat. He zoomed through the air and landed on the Beldam's face. Cole grabbed the snowglobe off of the mantlepiece and dashed towards the door as the Cat ripped off the Beldam's eyes.

"YOU HORRIBLE CHEATING BOY!" the Beldam shrieked.

As he said this, the floor gave way, causing cole to scream and fall into a black spiderweb, the last remnants of the Other World. The newly blind Beldam feel into the spiderweb after Cole, landing a few feet away from him. Shit.

Cole quickly scaled the net. He just had to get to the door. He could be free. Just a bit more... and his foot snagged on a strand of the spiderweb. It vibrated, signalling the Beldam, who grinned and started climbing the net towards Cole. Double shit.

Cole climbed as fast as he could, finally making it to the door. He hurled himself through the door.

"YOU DARE TO DISOBEY YOUR SENSEI?!" the Beldam screamed.

"Yep!" Cole said quickly, kicking the Beldam in the face. He slammed the door, but the Beldam's spindly hand stopped it from fully closing. He grabbed the door's handle and tried to yank it closed.

"Please...help!" Cole whispered to himself.

As Cole said this, three transparent hands came out the ghost's eyes in his pocket. They grabbed onto the door handle and pulled. Just like that, the Beldam's hand got chopped off cleanly, closing the door.

A loud banging noise came from the door. The more it banged, the more the tunnel shrinked. Cole gasped and quickly crawled towards the other side of the tunnel.

"COME BACK!" The Beldam wailed" I'LL DIE WITHOUT YOU!"

Cole vaulted through the tunnel's exit, slamming the door behind him just as the tunnel disappeared completely.

Wiping the sweat off of his forehead, Cole stopped for a minute, trying to catch his breath.

"Did...did I win?"

Ah, it's finally done! Thanks you so much for reading, and we'll see you, hopefully, in the next chapter! until next time!
