The Ninja continue to race through the jungle. When suddenly Lloyd notices something above them and he stops his Chopper in a circle, bringing up dust, the other two Choppers screech to a halt and the doors open with the Ninja pulling down their masks.
"What's wrong?" Nya asks.
"I thought I saw something up there." Lloyd said as he stood up and points to where he thought he saw something on a cliff. "An animal."
"We're in the jungle, Lloyd." Jay tells him as he sat behind Kai. "I'm sure there's lots of animals."
"Hey, did anyone bring a snack?" Cole asked as he stood on Kai's Chopper. "I'm starving."
"Cole, when are you not hungry?" Jeanette asked as she continued to sit on her dragon.
"When he's asleep and his snores threaten to bring down the curtains." Nya said with a smile.
"Oh, your funny babe." Cole huffs.
"I brought a snack." Jay said, and Cole beamed.
"Great!"
"But it fell in the ocean." Jay finished.
"Oh, thanks." Cole complained as he folds his arms and plopped down on the Chopper. "For getting my hopes up."
Lloyd turns his attention to Twitchy Tim. "What kind of animals are there on this island, Twitchy?"
"Uh." Twitchy Tim starts nervously. "Poisonous pythons, poisonous jaguars, poisonous frogs, poisonous eels, poisonous piranhas, poisonous birds!" He lists them all off.
"Poisonous birds?" Nya asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Pretty much everything on this island is poisonous!" Twitchy Tim said as he stood up and clutched the back of Nya's chair as he looks around. "Especially those berries." He quickly added as he points at Cole, who is currently eating them, the black Ninja quickly spits them out.
"Whatever is on this island, it won't stop us from finding my mom and my uncle." Lloyd said as he sat back down.
"And Clutch Powers." Nya added.
"Why would we care about him?" Jeanette asked, throwing an energy bar at Cole after she searched her pockets, the Earth Ninja smiles as he catches it and happily munches on it.
"Huh?" Lloyd turns to Nya as he pauses in pulling on his hood. "Oh yeah, right. And Powers."
With that the Ninja take off again.
XxXxXxXx
After some distance, the Ninja stop again and the jump out of the Choppers while Jeanette jumps off her dragon.
"Let's leave the Jungle Choppers here. There's no way we're gonna drive through that." Lloyd said as they reach a thick part of the jungle.
Kai looked around as he hears a loud growl. "Ha, you weren't kidding." He tells Cole as he turns to him. "You really are hungry. I can hear your stomach growling from here."
"Uh, that wasn't my stomach." Cole replied. "Jen gave me an energy bar."
Kai looked worried. "Well, if it wasn't your stomach, then who's." He trails off when they hear a louder growling noise and they all look around, but Twitchy Tim curls into a ball on the ground.
Lloyd walks over to him. "What are you doing?"
"Assuming survival position!" Came the answer, just before they hear the tall grass move by something and the team look around before a coconut drops in front of Nya, quickly followed by a dragon - pinning her to the ground.
"Dragon!" She cries, just before the dragon gives her a very sloberly lick.
Kai, Cole and Jay pull out their weapons and prepare to use Spinjitzu.
"Ninja,"- Kai started, but the three are startled when his sister calls out.
"No, wait!"
The dragon is looking very friendly as he wages his tail happily like a dog while his tongue hangs out of his mouth. "Look at him." She said as she stood up. "I don't think he's dangerous."
The dragon moves down and uses his snout to toss the coconut towards Cole, who quickly side steps, then smiles when he notices the coconut. "Is that a coconut?" He runs after it, but the dragon swoops down and hits it with his tail. "Aww." He complained, he turns to Jeanette. "Jen, do you have anymore energy bars?" He asks hopefully.
Jeanette searches her pockets. "I have three left." She tosses them to him, he whoops for joy as he catches them and pops them into his mouth happily.
"How'd you get all that candy?" Lloyd asked.
Jeanette grins as she turns to him. "I found your new hiding stash on the Bounty." She answered with a cheeky smile. Kai and Jay burst into laughter at the comical look on Lloyd's face.
"What?!"
"I think he wants to play." Nya said as when the dragon pushes the coconut towards her. She picks up the coconut. "Fetch!" She throws it into the jungle.
The dragon quickly got excited and chased after it like a dog after a ball.
"He appears quite docile." Zane replied with a smile.
"Yeah, look, it might be friendly and all, but."- Lloyd is cut off when the dragon comes back, pushing his head between him and Nya as the coconut rolled in front of him.
"Zippy!" Jay cried. "Oh, let's call him Zippy!"
Lloyd is now holding the coconut is in hands. "Ok. Zippy might be friendly and all." He's startled when their new dragon licks him, making him drop the coconut. "But we don't have time to be playing fetch with dragons. We're trying to find my mom and Master Wu."
"Are you sure?" Nya asks as she pets Zippy and he rolls over as she continues to pet him. "He's so cute!" She coes, and Lloyd gives her a look as he folds his arms. "Ok, fine. Zippy, look. You're a real good boy, but we're on an important mission, and you might be a little huge and loud for us, ok?" She picks up the coconut again and throws it hard. "Super fetch!" She propels it deep into the jungle with with water and Zippy bounds after it.
Twitchy Tim then springs to his feet. "Survival mode successful again!" He cheers happily while the Ninja give him looks.
"Let's go, quick!" Lloyd orders.
The Ninja turn and run deeper into the jungle.
XxXxXxXx
While slicing through vines, Kai pauses and turns to Jeanette. "Hey Jen?" His voice had her turn to him. "Are you still angry with us for eloping and not inviting anyone but Nya?"
Jeanette is currently pulling her long hair into a high ponytail. "I was never angry." She answered as she finished and lowered her arms. "Just disappointed is all."
Kai looked at her in surprised then lowered his hood. "Ok, Skylor asked me to ask you since she was scared to ask you herself."
"How is Skylor? I know she wasn't feeling good last week."
"She's ok." Kai grins. "She had some of Cole's food." His smile disappeared and was replaced by a surprised look when a coconut falls from the sky and lands on his sword. He turns to see Cole kicking and shaking a coconut tree.
"Ahem."
Cole turns to see Kai, who's holding out the coconut with his sword.
"Yes, finally!" He pulls it off Kai's sword and starts to take a bite out of it, but quickly sees Kai giving him a look. "What?"
"Is it possible for you to think about anything except food?" The red Ninja questioned.
"Yes. I think of your sister!" Cole responded causing Jeanette to laugh. "And I'm thirsty too." Suddenly the coconut is pulled away from him, surprising the three and found that Zippy now has the coconut. "Give me back my drink, thief!" Zippy started to play Hide and Seek and Cole tried to chase him, but trips. "Aah!"
The others make walk towards a clearing, when both Cole pushes his way through them and Zippy lands in front of them with the coconut in his mouth, then places it on the ground, when Cole ran up Zippy licks him.
"Ew!" Cole cried as he whips the slober off him. "You can keep it!" He turns and runs up to Zane as Zippy grabs the coconut fully in his mouth before flying off.
"This is most strange." Zane said as he analizes the ground.
"What's wrong?" Cole asks.
"The trail appears to stop here. I see evidence of a struggle."
Lloyd hurries over to him. "What kind of struggle?"
The Ninja walk up to branches and move them away, unveiling a Stone Golem. "Whoa!" Behind the Ninja Zippy cowers in fear before he turns and runs away, and Twitchy Tim starts to panic.
"Survival mode!" He drops to the ground and curls up in a ball.
"Will you guys relax?" Nya said as she picks up a stick and walks over to it and taps it with the stick. "It's just a statue! See?" The Golem bites her stick. "Aah!" She quickly backs away from it.
The Golem comes to life and attacks, forcing the Ninja to quickly back up and take fighting stances, as two more Golems jump out and the Ninja find themselves surrounded.
"Uh." Kai starts nervously as he and the others pull out their weapons. "The statue has brothers!"
"Ninja, go!" Lloyd does Spinjitzu and heads for a Golem, but the statue shoves him back and Lloyd easily lands back by the Ninja, who start to fight off the three statues.
Jeanette throws a vortex of wind at a Golem, but the statue opens it's mouth to absorb the power, before sending it right back at her. Knocking her backwards into Cole, and the two are knocked back into Kai before the three fell to the ground in a heap.
"What happened?" Jeanette asked. "That thing just absorbed by wind, then spat it back out!"
Zane was thrown towards them, he easily lands on his feet and slides backwards a little. "They appear to be channeling our elemental energy." He said, just as Jay charges up his lightning. "Jay! Do not use your."- He trails off when Jay screams as he runs from a Golem's lightning blast.
The Ninja continue to fight the Golems. Until the Golems then stack up and channel the lightning from the sky, before blasting at the Ninja, forcing them to split up.
"I don't think lightning's only your thing anymore!" Kai said before and and Jay quickly duck to avoid a blast.
"Yeah! I know!" Jay agreed.
"Look out!" Lloyd yelled in warning.
The Ninja run from the Golems.
"Jay, do something!" Jeanette cried.
"Me!?" Jay cried in surprise. "Why me?!"
"You're the lightning Ninja!" Jeanette screamed at him as the Ninja continued to run.
Nya looks behind her. "Oh no! Where's Lloyd?"
Jeanette ran up to her side. "And Twitchy Tim, where'd he cower off too?"
Nya turns back around and cries out as she slides to a stop and nearly falls off the cliff.
Jay comes sliding towards her, accidentally knocking Nya over the cliff, but he catches in her in time. "Nya!" He swings her back up to saftey.
Kai, Cole, and Zane hurry through the tall brush. "They're still coming." Kai said once he pulls off his hood. "What now?"
Jeanette looks around and finds a rope bridge. "Over there!" She points to it.
XxXxXxXx
The Ninja run over to the bridge. Jeanette, Nya, Kai, and Cole run across the bridge and safely make it across.
"Are you kidding? A rope bridge? Rope bridges always break, and we'll be barely holding on, dangling over certain doom!" Jay cried in panic.
"Admittedly, that does happen to us more frequently than standard statistical models would suggest. Still, I evaluate it to be a risk worth taking." Zane tells him, before he runs across the bridge.
Jay gulps. "Oh, I'm gonna regret this!" He slowly and carefully walks across the bridge, then he looks over the side at the large drop. A large blast from the other side made him start moving again.
"It's gonna fall, it's gonna fall, it's gonna fall, it's gonna fall!" Jay chanted as he moved faster with his eyes closed, then safely make it.
Cole grins. "Jay, look out for the broken board!"
Jay screams and zooms forward, tackling Kai and latching onto him tightly like a frightened cat. Cole busted up laughing.
"Jay! Get off!" Kai yelled, shoving him off and Jay yelped as he fell on his butt. Kai, Jeanette, Nya, and Cole turned to walk further through the jungle.
Jay bounced to his feet and turned to walk up to the bridge, where Zane still stood. "Haha! No way! We actually made it all the way across a rope bridge without it breaking! Haha! I guess everything's gonna be." He quickly cuts himself off when the bridge breaks. "See? I told you!" He tells Zane, just before they hear a noise like something being zapped.
The two run towards a little clearing and look around. "What was that noise?" Jay asks.
"It sounded like some form of electric."- Zane is soon electrocuted, Jay jumped and quickly turns around. "Zane? Zane? Nya? Kai? Cole?" He's soon electrocuted.
XxXxXxXx
Nya wakes up on a catamaran. "Huh?" She struggles to break free. On another catamaran Kai awakes, he looks to his left to see Jeanette next to him, still knocked out and he assumed the others were there too. "Hey, untie me!" He yells as he struggles.
"Kai!? Are you ok!?" Nya calls.
"Nya! Yeah, yeah, I'm ok! Where are they taking us? Can you see anything?"
"I have no idea. I can't see a thing." Nya's eyes grow as she watches as a tribe village appears out of the fog.
XxXxXxXx
Soon the Ninja are released, but are taken to a lift where they're forced onto it, a Rumble Keeper zaps Jay.
"Hey! Watch it with that!" He cried as he pauses, before being zapped again. "Ow! Ok, I'm going, I'm going!"
XxXxXxXxXx
The Ninja are then taken to their leader.
"What do you want?" Jeanette demanded.
"Yeah! Why did you attack us?" Nya added.
"Silence!" Mammatus yelled. "I know why you are here. Like those who came before you, you seek to steal the amulet."
"We're not here to steal anything." Kai told him. "We're here to rescue our friends."
Mammatus didn't look convinced. "You do not deceive me. Others have come before you. Others have tried, and failed, for we uphold our vow. We are the Keepers of the Amulet!"
"What amulet?" Jay questions.
Mammatus turns his staff upside down and presses a button, behind him the wall starts to turn clockwise to reveal an amulet.
"I'm guessing that one." Cole said.
"It is the Storm Amulet, pried from the head of the sleeper in the deep, she who existed long before time had a name. Wojira!"
"Wojira!" The Keepers chant.
"We took a sacred oath to keep the Storm Amulet safe from those who would seize it. We harnessed the power of lightning, and became one with the storm. Our forefathers kept the oath, and their forefathers, all the way back to the beginning." Mammatus explained.
"I can assure you, we have no intention of purloining your artifact." Zane tried to tell him.
"You have seen it."
"You showed it to us! Dummy!" Jeanette yelled, causing her friends to stare at her in surprise.
"Jen! Don't make the freaky tiki angry." Cole said nervously.
"You know too much." Mammatus continued.
"But then why did you show it to us!?" Jay cried.
"There is only one way to ensure it remains safe now." Mammatus said.
"Why do I feel like I'm not gonna like this?" Cole asks, just before an eerie lightning bolt cracks.
"You will be our prisoners, forever!" Mammatus declared.
"Wojira!" The Keepers yell out as they point thier staffs at the Ninja.
"Yeah, I don't like it." Cole states.
"Lloyd is still out there somewhere!" Jeanette said as stood between Kai and Zane. "He'll save us." She said confidently.
