Chapter 24
There was silence in the air. What was the water ninja thinking? He just turned good on them and now he's going to kill Lloyd. Why? The ninja felt anger crawling up their spines as he was going to kill Ninjago's hope in the Final Battle. And yet, they felt a feeling that Lucas had a plan to have Garmadon release Sensei, but still were shocked. Even Lloyd was scared as he dug his fingers into Lucas' arm and struggled to escape, but stopped as he felt the tip of the blade near his neck.
Garmadon saw the threat and chuckled like it was a joke and sheathed the poisoned blade. "Oh you imbecile." he chuckled, "The weapons were created to protect people, not to harm."
"It wouldn't be the first time that my sai's harmed your son." Lucas stated, "It turned to water and went through his shoulder to make it bleed." and tightened his grip on Lloyd with the blade inching closer. "If you don't release my father and accept my challenge, this blade will enter his throat and he'll bleed out before you know it."
Lloyd was scared more now. His cousin recently saved him from the Serpentine and now wants to kill him. He was shaking in more fear. "Lucas, I trusted you!" he cried.
Lucas leaned his head near his left ear while the blade was still near his throat. "And you will." he whispered, "Trust me, I have an idea." and winked with his right eye. Lloyd caught the wink and knew his cousin had something up his sleeve and looked at his father to act scared for him to make him accept the challenge. "So uncle, do you accept for your son's life?" he asked.
The dark lord saw the anger in his nephew's eyes under his mask and glared at him back. Then looked down at his son and saw the fear on his face. He remembered Lucas pierced his son's shoulder with a sai and made it bleed. The loss of his son would bring depression to him if Lucas did do it when he wanted his son to rule beside him. Angrily, Garmadon snapped his fingers and Sensei was suspended in the air and couldn't move. "Very well." he accepted, "I accept. Be warned, you will fail." and crossed his arms over his chest to grip the handles of his four katanas and drew them out.
Lucas smirked as his plan worked and shoved Lloyd aside. The boy grunted a little as he made contact to the rocks on the roof and quickly ran back to the ninja. The grey ninja removed his mask and tossed it aside and drew his other sai out and stood in a attack stance. "I'll make the first move." he insisted.
*The two blade wielders stood in the center of the roof. Eyes blinked with fire in each one. The ninja were relieved to see that Lucas didn't kill Lloyd as he did have a plan to make Garmadon release Sensei. But were worried as Lucas going to face the dark lord as the two circled around; waiting to make a strike. Silence clung onto the air as the two kept circling around with hatred towards each other. And they wonder what Garmadon did to make Lucas hate him so much than before. Lucas gripped his sai's handles tightly and charged at his uncle.
Garmadon charged at him with two blades skidding on the rocks and the other two were ready to strike. When the two blade wielders were face to face, Garmadon swung his upper arms at Lucas and were blocked and then the dark lord swung his lower arms at Lucas. The grey ninja saw the blades and jumped back. But the tips caught his gi and felt a thin graze on his abdomen. Feeling adrenaline course his veins, Lucas charged at the dark lord with his fury.
Metal clanked against one another as the water ninja and dark lord fought against each other in rage. Lucas parried his uncle's lower left sword and twirled his body and used his hidden strength to knock the sword out of his grasp and skid over to the ninja. Garmadon growled through his teeth and continued to fight with the remaining swords. Lucas kept blocking his uncle's swords and parried another attack, swung his right leg as his uncle's left unprotected side to make him grunt in pain and twirled his body to knock another sword away.
Garmadon growled in rage and parried an attack from Lucas and swung his lower arms at his nephew's face and made contacted. Lucas let out a small gasp to a surprise attack and had his back turned from the momentum of the punch on his uncle. And Garmadon held out his free hand and fired a purple bolt at Lucas' back. Lucas flew forward and grunted in pain as he made contact to the rocks and prompt himself into a crouch and spat blood from his mouth.
"It's the future of this world not worth saving with your single shred of life." Garmadon said as he walked over to finish Lucas off.
"Get up, Lucas!" Lloyd practically screamed to his cousin and the others were worried for him. As well as Sensei as he watched.
"You'll never take over this world." Lucas said and gripped his sai's tightly, "I'll end this once and for all." and got back to his feet and charged at Garmadon.
Lucas felt his anger and adrenaline course through his body as he sent attacks at Garmadon while he blocked them. The grey ninja swung a low kick to the dark lord's thigh and stood on his hands to swing his legs to kick him in the chest. The dark lord stumbled back and charged back at Lucas and surrounded himself in a dark purple torando; his spinjitzu. Lucas saw the threat and surrounded himself in his grey spinjitzu and both collied.
The ninja watched in worry as Garmadon's spun strong and Lucas' spun weakly and Garmadon stopped and sent a powerful kick to make Lucas stop and flew him back. Being the second generation of spinjitzu made him stronger against his nephew; the third generation.
**Lucas slid on his back and friction stopped him and laid there motionless with his eyes closed. The ninja gasped to the defeat as Lucas wasn't moving. Even Sensei was worried as his brother walked towards his son. But Lloyd, however, just smirked. Kai saw the expression on his face and glared at him. "Lloyd, your cousin is getting killed and you're just smirking!" Kai barked, "What's wrong with you!?"
Lloyd looked at him and turned his gaze away to chuckle. "You don't know much of my cousin as I do, Kai." he chuckled, "Just wait."
Garmadon grinned that he won and made his way to finish Lucas off and hovered above him. He raised his remaining katanas above his head and brought them down as an excutioner would. "I win." he muttered.
Lucas' eyes shot open, grabbed his sai's, got onto his knees and caught the blades with his side guards and twisted them to prevent Garmadon from retrieving them. The dark lord struggled to retrieved his swords and saw the fire rise up in the hazel grey orbs. The water ninja slowly up to his feet and both were face to face as they pushed against each other.
"You filled my life with lies then took it as an advantage to make me the person I am today!" Lucas raised his voice to make sure everyone heard to know why he left Garmadon, "Now I shall use this as an advantage to end this war." And with anger, he twisted his sai's and the katanas broke near the hilts and clattered to the ground. Garmadon was shocked to see his defeat by his nephew and the ninja cheered for Lucas. The grey ninja then delivered a kick to the dark lord's chest to make him fly back to Sensei. "I win, Garmadon."
Lucas saw the fear and defeat on his uncle's face and smirked in victory and placed his sai's in his belt and started to walk towards him. But stopped as his smirk disappeared as he heard a chuckle escape from his uncle's throat. He saw his uncle's face change from defeat to sinister as he slowly got to his feet. It made everyone confused. Why was he laughing if Lucas won the battle that ended the Solstice Battle? It made no sense.
"I don't think so." Garmadon doubted and held his right palm out and sent a purple bolt near Lucas' feet.
Lucas shielded his eyes and a wall of purple fire blazed in front of him. He could see through the flames and saw Garmadon had his father tight in his grasp. Angrily, Lucas shouted in anger. "We had a deal!" he shouted.
"You can never trust a dark lord when making bargains."
"Dad, he's going to kill me if you don't stop this battle." Lloyd cried to his father. The small ninja was still playing the act of a helpless child and needed his father to end it.
"Oh Lloyd, it's in his nature to not harm you because he cares for you." Garmadon said to his son to give up the charade. Then looked at his nephew. "I gotta say Lucas, you've grown weak since you came back as my apprentice. But I should owe you an apology for not believing you on the generals plot on kidnapping my son and they no longer serve me, besides their soldiers. But it's in my nature to never apologize to people who are weak."
"Release my father!" Lucas demanded, "Now!"
"Why should I listen to you if you lied to me as well? I may have corrupted your mind, but you lied to me about my son. My spies informed me that he never ran away, you just gave him back to the ninja."
Lucas gasped as he found out his lie. Lloyd was stunned to hear that. Was Lucas suppose to kidnap him for real and bring him to his father? But instead Lucas gave him back to the ninja. He was proud to know he had a choice after all.
"So what if I lied." Lucas' voice sounded like steel, "I may have disobeyed your orders as your apprentice and suffered through the consquences," while touching his back, "but your son has a choice and you can't control his fate. Now release my father!"
Garmadon reached behind his back and drew out the dagger. Lucas gasped to see the green coated poison blade. The dark lord held his hand high and looked into his brother's grey eyes with his crimson eyes. "Time for you to die, brother" he muttered and brought the blade down.
"Noo!" Lucas screamed. He grabbed a smooth stone from the roof and charged. He stopped to kneel onto one knee and underhand threw the stone from his right hand. The stone flew through the fire and was an accuriate aim and made contact to the hilt of the dagger and knocked it from Garmadon's hand and the blade landed away from him. Lloyd was right. Lucas does have a knack to throw things to make precision hits.
Garmadon roared in rage that his plan failed. "You may have foiled my plan to kill your father." he said and held his left hand out. The Twilight Mirror responded and the handle rested in his grip. "But I still can send him into the realm."
"I don't think so." Lucas doubted.
The water ninja extinguished the wall of fire with water sprayed from his palms and drew out his sai's. He charged at the dark lord, jumped, changed his sai's to act as daggers and struck the mirror. There was a flash of light. The water ninja began to shake and flew back, like an explosion of a bomb knocked him off his feet and landed on his chest with his sai's next to him.
Garmadon chuckled wickedly. "Foolish nephew." he spoke in a victory tone, "You cannot destroy the mirror for I am the wielder of the Twilight Mirror and I can only destroy it."
Lucas lifted his head in anger. He knew the wielder of the mirror can only destroy as the prophecy foretold and growled through his teeth. But he noticed something unusual about the mirror. On the golden reflective glass, two cracks had formed where Lucas struck with his sai's and haven't repaired themselves in Garmadon's hand. The water ninja thought it over and wondered about it. Was it possible? He had only one chance.
"No, you're not the wielder of the Twilight Mirror." Lucas said and stood up.
The ninja looked at him confused. How would he know Garmadon wasn't the weilder when he opened the portal. Garmadon looked at him confused and doubted it. "Oh course I am." he snorted, "I stole the mirror. I retrieved all the shards. I even opened the portal."
"No, it was never you that stole the mirror. It was never you that retrieved all the shards. The reason why your son had a shrad inside him was so the mirror could test the wielder. And the mirror only opened the portal based from a substitude. I did all that of that stuff. Me. I stole the mirror. I retrieved all shards. I passed the test on retrieving the shard from Lloyd. I did all of that. So it will listen to me." and held out his right hand straight out.
The Twilight Mirror began shaking in Garmadon's hand. He felt it slipping from his grasp and gripped it tightly. Like a very strong magnet, the Twilight Mirror broke free from Garmadon and into Lucas' grasp. Lucas looked upon the reflective glass and the cracks mended themselves back to normal. Lucas smirked. "I, the true wielder of the Twilight Mirror, command that all evil that escaped from the portal return from where they came and never return!" he commanded and turned the reflective side at the portal. A white beam of light fired at the eye of the portal and then a flash of light broke into the sky.
The clouds began to swirl in a different direction. The ninja watched as the bats were struggling against a current that was pulling them back into the portal. Wolves howled in disgrace as they were returning into the Dark Realm. The remaining Craglings and Mud Monsters that didn't get destroyed were being pulled in. When every last creature that escaped the portal and returned into the realm, everything was quiet. Ninjago was saved.
"Now to get rid of this thing once and for all." Lucas says and threw the mirror into the sky. Once it was near the portal, Lucas quickly picked up his sai's and pointed the tips at the mirror. "Water!" and streams of water hit the mirror. The mirror hung in the air after the element made contact and was shaking. Lucas looked over his shoulders and at the ninja that he needed help. "Guys, I can't do this alone." he cried, "Each of you had a shard at your home and you are part of the mirror."
The ninja looked at each other and nodded their heads once and drew their weapons out. "Fire!" Kai shouted and his element made a fire blaze out from the blade and the stream of fire made contact to the mirror.
"Lightning!" Jay shouted and swung his nunchucks and sent a bolt at the mirror.
"Earth!" Cole shouted and sprayed dust and chucks of rocks from the blade of his scythe.
"Ice!" Zane finally added and ice shards made contact to the combined elements. And the mirror began to shake more violently.
"Ninja-Go!" Lloyd shouted and raised a fist in the air.
The mirror shook more violently as the elements were harming it with their powers and stopped shaking. The elements of each ninja's weapon hung into the air and surrounded the mirror. An ember for fire. A spark for lightning. A chunk for rock. An icicle for ice. And a drop of water. All circled around the mirror and became a blur of light as they picked up speed and closed in on the mirror to make it glow and shake to the power and launched itself into the portal.
Once it passed through the portal and entered the Dark Realm, the power of the combined elements was too much for the mirror to handle to make the reflective glass crack into a spiderweb pattern and exploded to the power.
The Twilight Mirror was destroyed.
Outside the portal, the clouds began to close in as the mirror was gone and the portal was closing. The ninja watched in amazement as they succeeded on the battle. Garmadon watched in disgrace as his entire world domination was ruined. When there was a small white dot in the sky, it was building with unstabled power and energy and caused an explosion into the sky. The shock of the explosions perimeter caused every window to shatter and shook the earth. Everyone felt the energy hit them and fell to the ground and saw darkness.
The Summer Solstice Battle has ended. The ninja have won the war.
