Yeey another Chapter. :) And it is the official start of season 1.
Calli huffed in annoyance as she tried to focus on the book in front of her. Normally she was able to block out the constant yelling and competing of the boys…. Not this time.
She was currently seated against one of the training dummies, as this was the location where the noise would bother her the least, with the boys all in the Rec-room. She didn't want to tell them to tone it down, even though they should be training right now.
Calli sighed and closed her eyes, maybe if she would be able to clear her head, then she would be able to focus better.
However, that idea was quickly shot down as the loud yelling turned into loud protesting. With a raised eyebrow, she walked over to the rest, curious as to what happened.
What she found was actually quite funny. The golden weapons were scattered across the room, albeit close to their respective Ninja, Pizza-boxes were scattered everywhere, averyannoyed Sensei next to the TV, its cord in hand and four furiously protesting Ninja.
Sensei wasn't impressed by their complaints; "Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu."
Calli scoffed before anyone could answer, making her presence known. "Just melt the bloody thin's down. No weapons: No way for 'im to take over." She, however, was met with a glare from sensei and four other mixed reactions.
Zane was the first to snap out of it. "But Sensei, ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace." He argued, Jay agreed.
"Yeah, Peace is boring. There is No-one to save, nothing to do."
Calli could only roll her eyes as Cole opted they train tomorrow, leaning back with his arms behind his head.
"Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today." Sensei told them, only for The Black Ninja to backtalk him again, which resulted in a hurt hand for him and Calli narrowly avoiding a flying slice of pizza, curtsy of Sensei smacking it out of the boy's hand.
"In order to reach your full potential, you must train!"
"Calli's not training." Jay pointed to the girl, whose eyes darkened considerably with a glare. "Ehe, never mind."
"That's what I thought." The girl muttered crossly before walking off. She had only just walked around the corner when she bumped into an obstacle. An out of breath and black-haired obstacle.
"Ny- "Where are the boys?"
"Erhm… the rec-room, Why?" Nya didn't answer and just ran past. Calli followed her as the girl burst through the door opening.
"Guys! Lord Garmadon! He's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village!" After the words had finally sunken in, the boys shot up, grabbing their weapons and making their way towards the dragons… Not without problems though. Zane's foot got tangled in the tv-Cord. Nya had to hand Jay his weapon. Calli made sure to go after them in case more went wrong. Which it did. Jay missed Wisp's saddle and Cole dropped the scythe.
"Ye do know ya need this to fight, don't Ya." Calli quipped as she handed him the weapon. The Black Ninja awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Eh, Thanks."
Nya helped her brother grab Flame's reins and then they flew off.
Both girls let out a sigh as Sensei walked up to them.
"Will they ever reach their full potential?" Nya voiced looking at the forms of the dragons.
Sensei looked at the shrinking forms of his students. "Only time will tell, maybe a long time, but in time." Calli couldn't help but laugh.
"Any reason ye dragged me all the way to the desert?" Calli asked her friend as she tried to keep up.
"Yes."
"Are ye goin' to tell me what it is?"
"Not yet."
Calli huffed, Nya had been begging for her to join the girl to the desert, claiming it was important.
"We're here."
The orange-haired girl couldn't help but raise her eyebrow at what she was seeing.
"A giant skeleton? Why are we here?"
Nya grinned mischievously. "You'll see."
After an hour or so, the girls returned to the monastery. Nya wrangled Calli into training again, but this time it was the trainings parcour instead of sparring. Calli could use the exercise and this time the boys weren't here. Nya was trying to break her brothers speed record and Calli was training her agility, dodging training equipment left and right. Until the doors flung open, it was enough of a distraction for one of the dummies to hit her square in the stomach, making her double over from the impact.
Nya also had a small accident. There was too little time between one of the roundabout exercises. Resulting in the flat side of a blade in the face.
"Hey Nya." Jay stuttered as he went to help her up. "Closer to beating your brothers speed record?"
"I'm getting there." She sighed. "I head what happened in town. Just a false alarm?"
"Again?" Calli muttered as she stood up, hunched over and eyes closed. The dummy had hit really hard, making her feel like throwing up.
"You okay?" She slowly opened one eye to see Cole kneeled next to her.
"Yeah, just gimme a minute." The boy nodded and Kai tried to usher them out.
"It was a false alarm. But we're going to need the space, sorry Guys."
Cole had moved from his position to the closet with the training outfits. "Two matches." He said as he threw Jay his mask, hitting him square in the back of the head. "Then the winners of each face off against each-other for the title, Armor's for our own protection. Time to see what these babies can do." He had a grin that matched the Cheshire cat's as he proceeded to hand out the armour.
"Hey Nya, you wanna stay and watch me mop the floor with them?" Kai asked. His sister shook her head.
"No thanks, I think I'll just visit Jamanakai Village, Knock yourselves out."
Calli stood upright again and followed her friend. "I'll come with ye, I don't want to be here when Cole knocks down the bathroom wall again."
"That was an accident." The Black Ninja called after her as she closed the door, his darker cheeks somewhat reddened.
"Keep tellin' yerself that!" The red-head called back whilst flashing the boy a grin.
Jamanakai village was quiet as always when the two girls arrived. Calli had to admit she'd gotten a liking for the quint village. It felt familiar and she liked it.
"Please Daddy, Can I have some candy." The girl looked to see a young girl and her father at the candy stand. The father smiled down at his daughter and he bought her lollypop she wanted. Calli smiled at the scene sadly. It didn't really bother her much she didn't have a family, but times like this she couldn't help but feel a little down.
"Hey you okay?" Calli snapped out of it and looked around her. The girl and her father were gone. Nya was looking at her friend with worry.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Nya eyed her sceptically and opened her mouth to speak, but whatever she wanted to say was interrupted by yelling and screaming. The townspeople were running away and into their houses.
"What now?" The younger girl asked.
"Over there." Calli pointed towards another store. A young boy walked out, pushing a cart filled with candy. He was dressed in a black sweater with a green five and a painted ribcage on it. The boy itself was around the 10 years old. He had bright emerald eyes and Calli could just make out some strands of pale blonde hair under his hood.
"Take the candy!" He yelled. "Take it all!" He ended his statement in something that she guessed was supposed to sound like an evil laugh but instead sounded like something you would find in a black and white, old-school witch movie.
Calli scoffed and Nya looked ready to go to him. That was until she noticed something behind the boy and let out a gasp,pulling Calli back by the hem of her shirt.
"What?" The redhead asked and looked at where her friend pointed.
Behind the boy, were snakes, Giant, cobra-like snakes. They had a blue and white colouring and had legs for some reason while, what looked like it was the leader, was blue with yellow accents and did have a snake-tail as well as a golden staff with a blue gemstone. The leader of the snakes gave one look at the people that were still there. His red eyes started to widen and the people's eyes turned red.
Hypnosis. Calli noted as Nya pulled her away behind some boxes.
The townsfolk moved away, grabbing every piece of candy they could find.
"But general!" a voice suddenly rang out. "Thiss makess no sensse! Raiding an entire town for ssweetss?"
And they could talk? And here she thought she'd seen everything already.
"You will do as I command! Because I hold the sstaff." The authority in the second voice was clear and the redhead didn't like it one bit.
"We have to warn the boys." Nya whispered.
"Yeah let's go." Nya was the first to move, using the boxes and carts to get to safety. Calli went to follow but spotted the Little girl and her father getting cornered by some snakes and hypnotized townspeople. "Go." She told Nya and without thinking dove in front of the two.
"Leave them alone!" The snake leader grinned at her action and she had to swallow down her nerves. This isn't one of my smarter plans.
"Go, now!" She ordered the man and he nodded, grabbing his daughter and taking a sprint as the rattling started.
The leader made a hissing sound and opened his eyes. His voice rang though Calli's mind, resulting in a splitting headache and making her crumple to the ground with a scream.
Her hand felt around in the snow trying to find something to help her get away. Eventually, her fingers found the burning material of a metal pipe.
"Why won't it work!" the leader suddenly cried out, giving her enough time to swing the object at his head and take a run for it.
The pipe hit its mark in the head but her running was more of a problem. Due to the throbbing headache, her vision was blurry and her steps unstable, making the roofs more of a risk than ever but she didn't have much of a choice.
Ignoring the burning in her hand as it touched the snow, she managed to clamber on one of the rooftops and even managed to get herself three rooftops further before finally slipping in the snow and falling down with a scream, However, her landing was less painful for her then it was for the object she landed on.
"Calli!" It was Nya's voice that rang out, sending another wave of pain through the girl's head.
The girl whimpered, her hands shooting towards her head. "Please don't yell."
"Are you okay?" The redhead recognized Zane's voice.
"Headache, Blurry vision, burned hand." She muttered and sat op.
"If you could get off completely that would be nice, you're squishing places that shouldn't be squished."
Calli looked next to her, at the object she landed on and saw a blur of blue and, recognizing the voice and colors as Jay, she shot up, tripping over her own feet and if it wasn't for Cole catching her she would've face-planted again.
"The leader, He tried to hypnotize me but he failed for some reason." She breathed as someone held an icicle against her forehead, dispersing it slowly as her vision returned to normal. "Thanks." She breathed to both boys and stepped away. "Don't look them in the eyes once they rattle their tales. That's how they get ya."
Jay, who had brushed himself off and now had a giant wet spot in his Gi, went off into a rant.
"Well, what are we supposed to do! We can't use our weapons and now we gotta to fight with our eyes closed! Perfect!" No sarcasm used at all.
Nya went into explanation.
"The snake with the staff is the general. He's the one in charge. If we could get the staff from him, it holds the anti-venom. If we can get that, we can save everyone."
"Look guys." Kai started after his sisters' explanation. "Forget about the whole 'Green Ninja' thing, let's make sensei proud. The four of us, We're a team."
"Now you're talking!" Cole exclaimed, jumping forward and very excited to get some action on.
"Oh and Nya? You can be our honorary member." Jay said.
"Gee, thanks." She deadpanned as Calli gave him a look between amusement and annoyance.
"You too of course!" The Blue Ninja quickly said making the redhead grin. The boy had only eyes for Nya.
"You good to go?" Kai asked the Ginger who nodded. "Sure, but, ehm... None of ye happens to have anything for this, do ya?" She asked sheepishly, holding up the blistered hand.
The group of six used the rooftops to find the general. Calli had quickly taken the lead with Jay after her, as she was the one used to rooftop parcour. Kai took a different route halfway through, jumping down and initiating a fight with some snakes, only to crash in a building, making the girl want to hit her head on the rooftop had she not just cured her headache.
"Okay." Jay noted. "We're really out of shape."
"Consider this a warning, ninja!" Zane noticed the boy from earlier run away with the cart with candy. Once again trying to sound evil with his weird old-school movie laugh. The White ninja threw the Golden Shuriken in front of the cart, making it fall over with the boy on top of it.
"My candy!" the boy cried as the White Ninja appeared in front of him.
"Sensei was right!" He stated. "Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today. We should have dealt with you the first time around."
The boy just glared at him as Calli, Cole, Jay and Nya made their way towards the general.
"Retreat!" The snakes scattered, The Black Ninja took the opportunity to go after the general, kicking the staff from his hands. It landed in the middle.
"Go ahead." He taunted the snake. "Gimme a Reason."
The general moved away and Cole quickly grabbed the staff as the others went to take down the last couple of snakes. But the moment the Black Ninja looked up, the second in command was there, rattling his tail and forcing the boy to look him.
"Cole!" It was Calli's scream that snapped him out of it, giving Nya the opportunity to kick the snake in the face.
"You have the anti-venom." Cole gave the ginger a weird look before looking down at his hands.
"By golly, you're right!" he exclaimed.
"Quick! The fountain!" Nya called, pushing him towards the town's centre.
He nodded. "Good idea." He jumped on the top layer and stuck it in the middle. A thick fog escaped from it engulfing the town and its people, snapping them all out of their trance. Calli gave a sigh of relieve, at least this was over.
"MISS, MISS!" Calli had only a couple of seconds to react before being tackled by a small child. "Thank you for saving us!" Jay laughed and nudged his friends, pointing towards the scene.
"It was no problem." The ginger girl told her awkwardly and gave the boys a look that said 'help me'. The little brunette girl suddenly gasped and pulled Calli's hand towards her. "You're hurt!" She gasped. "Come with me! Daddy is the town's doctor! He can help you!" The boys laughed as Calli had no time to protest and was dragged away by a 6-year-old.
Kai turned away as he saw sensei Wu arrive.
"We're sorry sensei." The Red ninja apologized. "If we dealt with Lloyd before he became a problem, none of this would have been necessary."
The man nodded slowly. "Even lessons learned the hard way, are lessons learned. Hmm, A great evil has been unleashed. I fear troubling times will come." He told his student as kai handed him the staff. "This is only the beginning.
"Then we will train and be ready for the Serpentine." Zane said determined.
Cole nodded. "It may not me Lord Garmadon, but that doesn't mean we won't bring our A-game."
"Help us train." Kai pleaded with the master. "Help us realize our potential!"
"Yeah!" Jay piped in. "Teach us the secrets behind the weapons of Spinjitzu."
Sensei lowered his head, thinking. "There is much to teach. We must return to the monastery."
The rest nodded and made their way to the dragons.
"Ehm guys," the group turned to Kai. "Let's find Calli first. I rather face those Serpentine again before I want to face an angry Calli because we left her to the hands of a six-year-old."
And that was episode 1 :)
