The group was only half an hour away from Torchfire mountain, the Destiny's bounty swaying heavily in the thunderstorm. Nya, Kai, Calli and Jay all sat around the dinner table, discussing the fangblades displayed on the table.
Calli had by now changed outfits, back to her warrior outfit and sat down next to Nya.
"Why is Torchfire mountain the only place that can destroy the Fangblades?" Nya asked as she inspected the blades in front of her.
Kai was the first to answer. "Çause the fangblades are made from the original teeth from the great devourer. They are so strong they can only break down in extraordinary heat."
"Can someone pass the salt?" Jay interrupted the discussion, making Calli roll her eyes and went to do so when the ship jerked due to another loud bang of thunder, sliding the salt shaker towards him. "Thanks." he grinned making Calli snicker under her breath. It was then that the door slid open, revealing a pretty green-looking Cole. Normally he could handle motion well, If he only could control it himself or it was light swaying.
The black ninja groaned as he braced himself against the doorpost. "Please no-one talk about food. How much longer before we get there."
"Not much longer, Ye want me to find the Equate?" Calli and Zane had managed to acquire a lot of extra medications after finding the bounty, With them always fighting things and being on the road all the time you could never be too careful.
Cole nodded with his eyes closed. "Yes please."
It was then that Jay decided to have a little fun. "Hey, Cole." He called out and the black ninja opened one of his eyes with difficulty as the ship once again jerked. "You're looking a little green." Calli shot him a look, warning him not too continue with what she was sure he was doing, which he promptly ignored and grinned at his best friend. "How'd you like a mucus salt sandwich?"
And with that Cole dashed outside to most likely empty his stomach and Jay got hit in the head with a booklet the redhead girl had snatched up as soon as he decided to play funny.
"Thanks Jay." The redhead grumbled in a sarcastic manner. "Yer going to clean up what he dumped." She told him pointedly as he and the others snickered away.
Jay just ignored her as she walked out, most likely to do some damage control and turned himself back to the siblings in front of him.
"Speaking of green, who would've guessed that little Lloyd Garmadon would be the Green Ninja."
Nya giggled in agreement, "I know, right? He was such a brat at first. It's hard to believe he's gonna be the greatest Ninja that ever lived."
Kai cleared his throat, obviously still a little bit peeved it wasn't him, to change the subject. "Where is the little runt anyways?"
His sister shrugged. "I heard him tell Calli he'd be below deck, training."
"Those two have a wierd relation" Jay snickered with his mouth filled with the last bites of his sandwich.
"He's grown on her." Was all Nya explained.
"Will everyone please place their seats back and tray table in the full upright and locked position? We have reached our destination: Torchfire Mountain. Give it a minute while we settle in position." Nya's voice rang trough the speakers as the others all arrived on the deck, meeting Calli and Master Wu who were talking in hushed voices.
'It's roasting out here." Jay sighed as he looked to the volcano below them.
Kai, like the little bastard he was, grinned. Not bothered by the heat at all. "Heh. If you can't stand the heat, Get out of the kitchen."
The blue ninja just glowered at his friend before turning to the two on the other side of the deck. "What's with Sensei?"
Zane shook his head, not taking his eyes of their mentor. "I do not know, He's been distant all morning."
With that they moved to join in the conversation.
" - get what yeh mean, I've had a bad feeling trough out the whole morning." The two abandoned the conversation as soon as they noted the others coming their way.
"Ah, it's beautiful is it not." The elder man spoke up, staring at the golden lava below.
Zane was the first to steer the conversation back about the Fangblades. "Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the Fangblades, yet you seem disinterested."
Calli snickered at this and gave the elder man a pointed look. "Told yeh they'd notice."
The elder man gave her a sharp look. "You do not need my approval to finish the task."
"But, Sensei-" Jay tried to reason.
"Butts are for sitting. And besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me." The way he spoke this line made all of them raise their eyebrows.
Kai was the first to react. "Sensei, you're talking crazy. You've been alive for, like, foreve-Ugh!" His sentence got cut off by Cole elbowing in the ribs.
Zane quickly covered, "what he is trying to say is you are like the sunrise. We cannot begin a day without you."
The old man sighed and turned away his gaze. "But even the sun must go down so a new day begins."
Cole huffed. "I don't like metaphors. What are you trying to say? Are you leaving us again."
Calli didn't know wether to snicker at Cole's sarcastic reply, something she hadn't seen coming (Even if he was still a bit annoyed at the stunt Jay pulled before) or to try and quell the worries Sensei had.
"In meditation, my smoke visions have come to an end, and tomorrow, I cannot see. This worries me."
"Visions are just that, they aren't prophecies that are set in stone. It could mean nothing just as much as it could mean everything." The others looked at the girl next to them with a surprised look, making her shrink back again at the attention.
"Yeah what she said." Jay snickered. "It could be a good omen. We destroy the Fangblades, then everything's gravy."
Wu nodded. Let's just get rid of them, For good." As soon as the words left his mouth, the ship sharply jerked to the side. Tossing everyone to the ground and Sensei over the edge. Cole was the first to react, catching the man, only to slip and if it weren't for the others, take a tumble after.
"You're not going anywhere, old friend." He huffed.
Calli and Kai hoisted the others up. "Nya! What's going on?" He called out to his sister.
"Someone or something has overridden the sister." It sounded over the speaker.
Then there was a quick burst of static before Lloyds voice rang trough. "Pythor's on board!"
The ship once again jerked, tossing the little stability the chain of ninja had off.
"Oh, as much as I would like to play with your overgrown toys, I have a ride to catch." The Large Purple snake exclaimed as he made himself visible, all the Fangblades in hand before he tried to jump down to his escape vehicle. Narrowly missing a throwing-dagger.
"Don't let go!" Jay cried, his arms straining.
"What do yah think we're doing!" Kai and Calli chorused as the both of them tried to hold on to the legs of Zane. The ship once again jerked. This time tossing all of them over the edge.
Calli groaned as her back collided with a hard metal surface. "Gotcha!" She was never more glad to hear the sound of the youngest girl.
Jay was the first to voice the sentiment however.
"Feel the same." She replied hastily. "Now, Come on, He's getting away."
Calli was busy trying to hide more small daggers on her person. After Nya had dropped them back on the ship and fixed the system, they changed course as fast as possible.
"I think you have enough weapons." Cole grinned as he decided to steal one of them.
"Yeh can never have too many." She replied as she went to swipe it back, but he easily held it out of her reach.
"Keep it then, Yeh'll need it more then me."
"What about me?" Lloyd interrupted any more banter, once again moving to help.
"We need someone to stay with the Bounty." Kai told the kid.
Lloyd obviously didn't like the answer. "But I kicked him in the face. I'm an asset. I kick butt. And face."
The red ninja tried to contain his laughter. "Patience, kid. You're too important mow that you're the chosen one."
"Patience, hmm. Ah, the student has become the teacher." Wu's eyes had this amused twinkle in his eyes.
Jay excitedly twirled his nunchucks around, it's electricity crackling in the air. "What do you say we play a little game of Catch-up." He grinned.
"My favorite game." Cole agreed with his best friend. "Call, who're you driving with?"
The two girls shared a grin. There had been an actual reason Nya wanted to speak with her so desperately just a few hours ago.
"You just go, I'll take her down."
The boys gave a nod and with that they were off.
"So, how does it run?" Nya's voice rung trough the ear-piece.
"Perfect as can be." The redhead answered as the two went to catch up with the others. "Now I know why Kai likes this so much."
"Why I like what?" The said Ninja asked.
"Just check your mirrors." Calli grinned as she sped up her new bike to fall in place with the others.
Jay was the first to notice her. "Hey, Sweet ride!" She gave him a salute in agreement as she fell in line with Zane. It was a very streamlined bike, Black in color with dark purple accents. Nya had overdone herself, Making sure the outside was completely made of plastic and rubber and no metal pieces could burn her.
"I've got Pythor in my sights." Jay called out to the rest.
Kai was the first to notice the truck, or whatever it was supposed to be. As the Few Fangpyres they had on board thought it was a good idea to transform the vehicle.
"I hate those Fangpyre!" Calli growled as she swerved to avoid the tail of the now five times larger vehicle.
Cole did the same, almost smashing into her and Kai.
"How are we supposed to get close to that thing." Kai asked in general as he dodged the Black Ninja's raider.
Al the while two pairs of canons tried to shoot down Nya and Jay.
"Incoming snakebikes!" She heard Zane's warning.
Kai hit the breaks directly. Letting them catch up so he could take them out. And whilst Nya and Sensei took care of more incoming snake traffic, (Sensei enjoying it more then he should.) Calli tried to get close to the canons. Though the efforts where thwarted when a snake jumped on the back of her bike. She reacted by jabbing her dagger in it's shoulder, resulting in him losing his balance and falling back on the road.
"If we have any chance at getting on that truck, we need to work together." Cole tried to call them all back in line, ignoring Calli's 'No shit Sherlock.' As she fell back next to him.
"I've got an Idea!" Nya called out as she piloted the large Mech closer to the vehicle. "Jay, follow me, Zane, try to get in close and cool them off."
"Okay, I'm going in" With that he launched himself out of his vehicle, changing it back into his shuriken en froze the connection between the train, before breaking the chain.
"Nice one!" Calli called out as she moved in close to join him on the large green truck.
The other boys already had joined their friend.
"Let's see if this works." She braced herself and pushed a large button on the steering wheel and jumped up. She landed somewhat gracefully, landing on her stomach with a large ring in hand.
"Nice landing" Cole snickered as he helped her up.
"Piss off." She scoffed with the tiniest hint of a smirk on her face as she accepted his hand and quickly hooked the large ring that used to be a bike to her back.
Kai was the first to come up with a plan, or something like that. "Let's split up. Last one to the front is a rotten Ninja." That was all the motivation they needed.
Calli grinned as she kicked herself trough a window, grinning at the snakes. "Gentleman, It ain' t polite to lock a lady outside." The snakes gave each other a confused look before being roundhouse kicked in the face. Meanwhile Jay let out a laugh at her statement. "A lady?"
"A lady that can do some serious damage to you if you insult her." Cole joked. A second later he cheered loudly as the train shook heavily.
"Hey, I know yeh like blastin' stuff, but try and keep me alive if Yeh don't mind!"
"Sorry!" With that she rolled her eyes and took a dash to the front to the train. Making sure to knock out every snake she came across. Sadly, Kai had gotten there before her. the others quickly joining them.
"Just one more cart to go. Pythor's in there with the four fangblades. Who's first?" Both him and Zane were ready to jump to the next cart when Sensei jumped down from his seat on Nya's mech and jumped to the other cart and detached the carts.
"Wha- Sensei!" Jay called out in shock.
"What are you doing?" Cole followed up as he and the others shares a quick worried look.
"My destiny is to face Pythor alone. Your destiny is too look after Lloyd." Was the calm reply before the locomotive was out of range for the others to jump onto.
Kai fumed as he crossed his arms. "This is turning into a habit with him. How do we get off this thing."
"Besides jumping and risk certain death?" Calli scoffed with the same amount of annoyance the red ninja had as her eyes never left the now distant front.
"Yeah, that."
"I could try my shield but that's to big a risk." She furthered as she knelt down only to be pulled back up by her sort of Boyfriend.
"No-one is jumping down this thing."
"I wasn't planning to do so." She muttered, despite the fact she was absolutely planning on doing so and looking at the pointed faces the others made they didn't believe her.
So they took to waiting.
"This is really boring" Nya sighed as she lounged lazily inside her mech.
Calli jumped up at this and just grabbed the ring off her back. "That's it I'm done with waiting."
Zane stopped her before she could jump down. "Unless you can carry all of us on your bike, it is unwise to go alone, we do not have enough power to summon our vehicles at this time. You would be in trouble if you encounter more snakes." The girl gave him a sharp glare.
"And so what? the man is out there doing something so stupid I don't even see yer guys doin'. And we're just sittin' 'round doin' nothin'k" She felt someone put two hands on her shoulder and steer her away from the edge.
"Zane's right, we'd better stick together." Kai told her.
The redhead opened her mouth to answer when the compartment suddenly jerked forward, getting them moving once again.
"Lloyd!" They group exclaimed as they noticed the bounty flying overhead.
"Yer a sight for sore eyes, kid" Calli breathed.
"Hook, line and Sinker." They heard him cry out excitedly.
Kai was quick to jump up en take lead. "To Ouroboros as fast as you can!"
"Aye aye, Captain!"
And with that they were off to the city.
By the time the cart managed to arrive at the Lost city of Ouroboros, all hell had broken loose. The ground was shaking heavily as the ground gave away in the central part of the city. The group wasted no time trying to get to their Sensei as he was making Pythor stay to make sure the long-necked snake paid the price for unleashing the beast that was now awakening. It's eyes glowing in the dark menacingly, poising it's head back in a position that Calli recognized all to well. It was ready to strike.
"Go!" Wu was the first to speak. "You must to everything in your power to stop this thing" he called out, urging them to get out of the ruins, but the man wasn't even able to finish his sentence of the large, very large, snake burst out of the ground, It's eyes snapping towards Wu and Pythor.
They could only watch as the snake once again poised to strike, letting out a large hiss-like roar and with surprising speed struck down on the elder man and Long-necked purple snake.
The only thing calli could do was turn away and cling to Cole next to her.
So not my longest chapter and the first one written like I plan to do from now on. Watch the episode, open the transcript on the wikia and write using that. I found that if I write whilst the episode is playing, I focus too much on the movements and insignificant details. So yeah.
Also, Calli gets her own bike xD In my head it is heavily inspired by the Lightcycles from the Disney movie Tron. Even down to the things ability to become compact. And shit's about to go down, only one more episode to go this season :)
But that's enough yapping out of me, onto the reviews.
MightyShipper: I think it's a good thing if you fangirl over something you like. Never though it would be for my story but it's nice to know you like it this ugh.
Pappilie: I did, i've Had the autocorrect happen to me one too many times. I'm glad I got to implement it as well. Now it leaves me open to just write them messing with the others as they just don't tell them.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you in the next chapter.
