Chapter 18! We are sooooo close to 50 reviews! Can we get there this chapter? Or, even higher? Thanks again for the reviews, and a reminder: I do not own anything from Ninjago. Enjoy!
Jay knew the missile was following his jet, not him, or, well, he hoped. He dissabled his jet, retracting it into the baton, and threw it in the air as he fell. The missile followed the baton, luckily avoiding the falling Bule Ninja. Jay turned to face the ground, the ground that was getting closer and closer with every second. He could feel the blast from above him as the missile made contact, showering tiny bits of baton-jet debris on him.
He was scared but still attempted to make his elemental dragon. As he fell, Jay closed his eyes, dropping the barriers around his mind, trying to sense the electricity flowing around him. He felt it, and drew the bolts together, creating his elemental dragon once again. When he opened his eyes, he noticed he was meters away from going splat. That was close.
Jay's mind screamed to join in on the fight, but his body protested, as Jay had still not recovered fully from his fight with Cliff Gordon. Then he remembered. Wasn't there something that he had to do? Something Lloyd asked him to do? Wait, he had his coms still!
" Hey, Lloyd, quick question. What did you want me to do before I was shot out of the sky?'
"GET THE TEA!" the Sensei responded, clearly angry and in battle.
Oh, right. With that Jay began to fly to where the Bounty was anchored. Luckly, most of the Vermillion warriors were in town, not out of it, so Jay got a mostly-clear path to his goal. He had to take down a couple stranglers on the way, but hey, nothing a little Spinjitzu couldn't handle.
When Jay reached the Bounty, he quickly made his way through the halls, looking for the tea. If only they told me where they put it… Jay thought to himself.
Finally, after what felt like hours, Jay finally found it in the control room.
He grabbed it, brewed it up as quickly as he could, and hurried back to the battle, begging that he would be fast enough.
Nya knew they could not win this. The battle still raged on, ninja versus Vermillion warriors, Cliff Gordon, and the Time Twins. Zane eventually arrived, but even he only helped a bit. It felt like they were fighting for hours on end, but, to be honest, Nya had no clue how long it was. Constantly it was swing, dodge, weave, hit, dodge, on and on and on.
Currently, Nya was going up against Acronix and a bunch of Vermillion Warriors, but she was constantly looking over at her future daughter, who was struggling against Cliff Gordon. Alone. She was holding her own, but was clearly struggling. She could not keep fighting him without help. If only Nya could deal with her own foes.
" Where's Jay?" Nya heard Kai yell above all of the confusion. Good question. Where was the familiar blue jet that used to be in the sky? Oh, no. They may have shot Jay down! She had to go help him!
"I'm here!" Jay said, running into the battle carrying a teapot with freshly-brewed tea contained within it. Nya could see that he was struggling, probably his wounds. He should really not be here. At least he was alive and moving.
Jay eventually stopped beside Nya, drawing his sword and helping her out, swinging the tea across his torso. Nya cast a concerned glance at Maya, but luckily Gila had come to the rescue
"Be careful you don't spill!" Nya said to Jay, remembering what happened in the lighthouse in the alternate timeline. They needed every bit of that tea, and if it spilled, they would be done for.
"Don't worry, I got this."
"No, you don't! You're hurt and going slower than normal!" She protested, not wanting her future husband to get more hurt than he was already.
"Don't forget, Nya, I'm old! My bones are old and creaky!" He laughed, dodging a swing from the closest snake. She rolled her eyes.
With Jay back in the battle, the ninja were doing a bit better, all they needed was a plan. Luckly, Maya had an idea.
"Everyone, get them close together. Dad, stay by me!" When Jay ran to fight beside his daughter, the rest of the team pushed Cliff, Krux, Acronix, and the Snakes to the center of the square they were fighting in. Even though it proved to be difficult, they managed to do it.
"Nya, make your dragon, I need to borrow it!" Jay said after a minute, and as Nya created her water dragon, Jay hopped on behind her, bringing the tea across his chest and into his lap, removing it from the rope that it was held on. He opened the lid as they flew into the air, the hot, sweet smelling Tomorrow tea still piping hot.
" Fly above them. It's about to rain cats and dogs, or, should I say, tea?" Nya smiled at Jay's comment. She was staring to get an idea what was about to happen. Yep, totally seemed like a Jay and Maya plan. She suppressed a giggle as they got above the enemies.
"Aren't the Time Blades a concern? Can't they stop the tea from raining down on them?" Nya asked, remembering the key weapons in picture, and the key tools to get her and Kai home.
"Apparently, the younger ninjas jumped both the Time Twins near the beginning of the battle, getting the remaining Blades. All we need to worry about is my aim, and your flying. Well, and not hitting out teammates. But, it'll be great!"
"EVERYONE GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Jay screamed. The ninja ran away from the crowd, followed by a couple of snakes who had some sense. Then Jay poured the tea. Nya flew around, laughing as she saw the effects.
From a safe distance, Kai, as well as the rest of the group, laughed along with her. Whatever was touched by the tea turned older. The Vermillion's scales turned a dark brown, and instead of walking around normally, were awfully slow and struggled to hold their heavy weapons. Krux and Acronix were the same, their hair going white and grey, their skin getting wrinkly. Cliff, though, because he was also under the effects of the Reversal Tea, only turned to his original age, so he was not as bad off as the others.
As the ninja approached their enemies, who were as good as defeated, Cliff took out a baton much like the one that contained Jay's lightning jet, activated it, and escaped on a sleek motorcycle. Cole started running after it, until Liam caught up and stopped him.
" Leave that for the REAL ninja to handle, Dad. Not the retired ones." Everyone laughed as Cole made his way back, grumbling something under his breath. The ninjas began tying the snakes and Time Twins up, avoiding the possibility of another escapee.
Eventually, the Ninjago Police Department came along and picked up the baddies, each and every one. To celebrate, they all made their way back to the Bounty, Cole hoisting Liam on his shoulders, and Andy dragging his Nindroid father, urging him to go faster.
A couple of days later, the time machine was built. All they had to do was insert the Time Blades and activate it, sending Nya and Kai both home. They had already said their goodbyes to Skylor, Cole, and Zane, who had to leave early to get back to their original lives, but the siblings still wished they could have spent more time with them.
They wanted to go home, but did not fail to see the amazing time they had in the future. Nya had argued with Kai that they should stay longer, but Kai had convinced her that leaving as soon as possible was for the best. Besides, it's not like they would never encounter their future teammates in their time, it would just take many years. And effort if they wanted to keep Nya alive. But they would. Kai was determined.
They had just finished playing videogames with the younger ones and were headed to bed. Sensei Lloyd stopped them before they headed to their "room" for the night. His face clearly showed the emotions that everyone tried to contain that night. Sadness.
"We will say our final goodbyes tomorrow, and then you guys will be home." Then, Lloyd nodded and left them to themselves.
Nya sighed and held back tears. She looked to Kai, and noticed her brother was not even bothering to contain his sadness. He sniffled, letting the tears flow, and looked his sister in the eyes.
"Tomorrow."
