I had a little fun with this one!
XxXxXxXx
Skylor is still freezing Nya.
"We're running out of time!" Wu said, his voice shook a little as he stared at the frozen Nya.
"Not sure how long I can keep this up!" Skylor said as she again struggled.
"The cooling units are pushed to their limits, but the temperature keeps rising. If she gets too warm, Nya will completely melt." PIXAL said as she sat in front of the computers.
"And we'll lost her forever." Wu said sadly.
"No!" Raya cried, staring at Nya.
A screen appeared on the computer, gaining PIXAL's attention, she turns back around. "The Ninja have acquired Aspheera's staff." She turns back around. "But there appear to have been complications. ETA 45 minutes. We need to stall Aspheera."
The two turn to see Aspheera was no longer at a table.
"Where is Aspheera?" Wu asked, looking around.
"There!" Raya cried, running after Aspheera, who had wandered over to the middle of he hanger, Aspheera presses some buttons and the machine moves its arms, she presses a few more buttons and the hidden compartment with the Golden Weapons rise up.
"NO!" Raya runs and jumps onto Aspheera's tail and gripping it.
"Oh, I'm getting tired of you, you brat!" Aspheera hisses, then cried out when Raya bit down on her tail.
"Yuck!" Raya tried to whip off her tongue, as she did, Aspheera knocks Raya to the floor with her tail. "Hey! Master Wu, Master Wu!" Raya cried, as Aspheera turns to attention back to the hidden compartment.
"The Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu!" The Serpent tried to reach for them.
Wu quickly got in the way, "Please. Don't make yourself at home."
"Isn't it dangerous to have them so close together?"
"They are currently powerless. There is little risk in keeping all our eggs in one basket at this point." Wu uses his staff to hit a button the compartment, and it closed up as it lowers back to the floor.
Aspheera yawns. "I wouldn't be so bored if I had some paper. I make fantastic origami."
Raya perks up. "You can do origami?" She asked with amazement.
Aspheera turns to her. "Yes. It's a hobby I picked up in prison." She turns back to Wu. "You know, where you sent me to rot? Where you reduced me, a sorceress and leader of armies, to folding paper into animals?"
"We have more pressing matters here then your arts and crafts, Aspheera."
"Ah, yes. Your little Nya-sicle. Wish I could help, but your ninja never came back. So I'm leaving."
Raya did a few dizzy spins, until she turned into a red Spinjitzu tornado, and then crashed into a wall. "Owie, not bad for my first Spinjitzu though." She groaned, rubbing the back of her head.
Wu quickly did Spinjitzu, and blocked Aspheera's exit. "You agreed to save Nya by draining her powers!"
"If you brought me my staff, which you didn't. The ninja clearly failed, so time for me to sssslither on down the road." She moves passed him.
"Wait!" Wu quickly turns to run after her. "I'm sure they'll be back soon. What will keep you here?"
Aspheera stops at the doors as she turns to him. "Interesting question. When I was in prison, I spent a lot of time dreaming about defeating the Treacherous Deceiver in a variety of ways. That's you. You're the Treacherous Deceiver."
"I know you believe that of me."
"Then why did you stare like you had no idea what I was talking about? Don't make me the villain."
"What do you have in mind?"
"How about a series of contests? To test our strength and cunning"
"With Nya in mortal danger, you expect me to."- Wu trials off when Aspheera yawns and turns to leave.
"Very well." Wu caves. "What kind of contests?"
"First. Is the brat going to follow?"
"The monastery is Raya's home, But right now, all her attention is currently on Nya."
"Then let us begin the games."
XxXxXxXxXx
While in the kitchen for their next contest, which is flipping pancakes. Chantel hurries in.
"Master Wu!" She cries in panic, startling him and his pancake flies up and sticks to the ceiling. "Oh, thank the Spinjitzu Master!" She breaths, not realizing what she disturbed. But she does slide to a stop as her eyes grow at seeing Aspheera. "Whoa!"
"Chantal." Wu turns to her. "I."- He's cut off when the pancakes from the ceiling rain down on him.
"I win!" Aspheera calls happily.
XxXxXxXxX
Wu and Chantal head into the Hanger Bay, a pancake still stuck to his hat as he walks up to Skylor, who's struggling even harder now.
"What's her status?" He asks, taking the pancake off his hat, looking at it and tossing it over his shoulder. Behind him, Raya runs over to it and picks it up off the floor before biting into it.
"Not good. My power's - nearly - ugh." Skylor's powers disappears and she falls to the side, Wiu catches her. "Gone." She groans.
PIXAL presses a few buttons on the computer, before moving and hurrying over to them. "The temperature keeps rising." She runs up to the cooling units and turns the dial, making it work harder. "The cooling units are at maximum strength. At this level we risk burning out the." She doesn't get the chance to finish as the unit explodes, knocking the girls back and onto their backs.
"Danger." The computer warns, and they turn to it. "Temperature approaching critical."
Nya begins melting, and Raya starts to sob. Master Wu gathers her into his arms and she clings to him.
"She's about to destabilize!" PIXAL exclaims.
"Forgive us, Nya." Wu said.
"Look out!" Zane calls, Wu jumps back as Zane leaps in blasting Nya with his powers and freezing her just in time.
"Sorry we're late!" Kai said as he and other Ninja run over.
Aspheera turns from her tea cup. "I see you have something of mine." She said as she eyes her staff in Lloyd's hand. Lloyd looks at the staff as he starts to realize and question if it really is a good idea. "Unless you've changed your mind about saving your friend?"
"No." Lloyd said, walking over to her. "We had a deal." He gives her the staff.
"Lloyd!" Chantal's voice breaks. He walks over to her and she hugs his arm with both hers.
"Finally." Aspheera twirls her staff and aims it at Nya, but suddenly blasts at Cole, William and Kai. "Revenge. Revenge!" She continues blasting. Skylor, Raya, and PIXAL try to hide in front of the computers, as the boys take to hiding, Lloyd pulling Chantal to the side of the computer with Zane and Wu. "This is the revenge I deserve! Revenge! Because of all of you, my cunning has been wasted on stupid origami!"
"I can't believe Aspheera betrayed us in two seconds flat!" Lloyd said.
"If only a wise, experienced mentor had warned you not to trust her!" Wu told Lloyd.
"But Master Wu, you did warn us." Zane said.
"Exactly." Wu ducks to avoid a blast. "Ugh, this cannot get any worse."
Suddenly, the proximity alarms go off, Aspheera stops blasting the Ninja as everyone turns to the computers, showing a helicopter approaching.
"Master Wu, that's what I was trying to warn you about!" Chantal cried, as Lloyd runs towards Aspheera and grabs the staff while the enemy is distracted, and the two are tug for the staff.
"You betrayed me!?" Aspheera demanded, glaring at Wu. "Again?"
"What? No! I swear I didn't!"
Kai walks out in the middle of the room. "They're not after you! They're after us!"
Aspheera and Lloyd yank each other away and she gives Kai a skeptical.
"What? Why?" Raya asked, climbing out from under the computer.
"There were complications." Kai answered.
"Like what?" Wu asked.
"Does it matter?" Kai asked. "The point is, we're all."-
"Kai said my name aloud." Zane cuts in. "Thereby revealing our identities."
Master Wu sighs as he puts a hand to the side of his head.
"You dolts. You fools! You led them back here and now we'll all go to prison!" Aspheera yells.
"Now! Daddy!" Raya cries, running to Kai and throwing her arms around his waste.
"Maybe not." Lloyd told her. "There's a secret tunnel out of this monastery that only we know about."
Wu looks at him with surprise.
Aspheera gets in his face. "Where?" She demands. "Show me!"
"After you save Nya!" Lloyd yells, pointing at Nya.
"Fine!" Aspheera moves between Lloyd and Zane as she holds up her staff and aims it at Nya. "Brace yourself, water Ninja." She blasts Nya.
The power lifts Nya in into the air, just like she did to Kai.
Wu grabs Lloyd's shoulder. "It's working."
The elevator dings, the Ninja turn to to the doors as they open and the Rainbow Ninja leap out.
"Wherever there are criminals! Wherever there are convicts!"
"Did someone forget to close to secret exit?" Kai asked, very annoyed.
Jay turns to him. "You were the last one in!"
"Oh, great, let's blame Kai for everything! That's awesome."
"We are, the New Ninja!" Teal Ninja announces.
Lloyd leaps in front of his friends. "Blabbly blah, you're the New Ninja. We get it. Pro tip, you need a shorter catchphrase. We got ours down to three syllables."
"I have no idea what's going on here. And I don't wanna know. You broke the law! " Teal Ninja then accidentally breaks his blade over his knee. "And we're here to unbreak." He pauses as he looks at his broken blade. "Unbreak." He repeats as he tries to put both half together, before throwing it and reaches for a new one. "Sword." The Orange Ninja hands him one of her blades as she turns to the Yellow Ninja. "Unbreak it!"
"Unbreak it?" Cole raises an eyebrow.
"You know, to fix it. Make sure you don't break it again. Wrap it in a bandage. Maybe. Whatever. Get em!"
His team rush forward.
The Ninja get into fighting stances. "We gotta hold them off until Nya's safe!" Lloyd said, and the team pull down their hoods.
Before both teams rush at each other.
Pink Ninja tackles Kai to the floor and he falls on his back with a grunt. "Crime doesn't pay!" He tells Kai, who uses his hands to push himself up. "And being public enemies one through five pays even less!"
Raya comes up to him. "Leave my daddy alone, Pinky!" She yells hitting him with a metal folding chair, and he turns to her. "That's an order!" She kicks him between the legs.
"Nice." Kai approves as he gets back up as the Pink Ninja drops while holding himself. "But." He takes her arm. "Go over to Master Wu or your mother, now." He pushes his daughter towards Master Wu.
"Cheap shot." Pink Ninja grunts as he slowly gets back to his feet.
"Kids never learn." Kai said, dropping into a defense stance. "Stay away from her!"
"My business is with you, not a snotty child."
"She's my snotty child!" Kai charges at Pink Ninja.
Aspheera struggles as she takes Nya's powers. "Ugh. So much elemental energy!"
"Hurry!" Wu encourages.
"Excuse me, Master." Chantal grabs his staff. "Can I borrow this please, thank you!" She quickly pulls it out of his hand before she runs towards the battle.
"Chantal!" Wu calls, watching her.
Chantal comes up to Teal Ninja as he fights Lloyd. "Hey, bastered!" She swings Wu's staff and nails him in the side of he head, knocking him away from Lloyd, then does a thunder kick to him, knocking him to the floor.
"Whoa." Lloyd picks himself up. "Honey, were'd you learn that?" He asked with surprise.
"I live with the real Ninja, and I'm also married to the Green Ninja." She answered with a smile. "You pick up on a thing or two."
Suddenly Aspheera lets out a scream, just seconds a surge of energy sweeps through the hanger, the monastery, then the whole city causing a blackout.
XxXxXxX
Everyone groans as they're all scattered. Kai pushed himself back up. "Skylor, Raya!" He runs over to his girls, who are in front of the computers and grabs them both in a hug.
Nya groans, gaining William's and Kai's attentions.
"Nya!" William yells, running over to her and dropping to his knees before pulling her into his arms. "It worked! It worked!"
Kai looks towards Nya.
"Go, Kai." Skylor had him turning back around to look at her. "Go." She insisted. "We're ok."
Kai smiles, he kisses her before leaping up and rushes to the other side of Nya.
Lloyd pushes off his hood, watching the three, he turns to hurry over to Aspheera and helps up her, throwing her arm around his shoulders as he leads her across the Hanger while the Rainbow Ninja are still dazed from the blast.
"What are you doing?" Aspheera wanted to know.
"Keeping my word." He takes her to the secret exit. "At the bottom, you'll see a narrow tunnel. Follow it, and you'll be out in ten minutes." He tells her as she moves around him.
She looks at him with slight surprise. "You're actually keeping your word? Will wonders never cease."
"Don't push it, Aspheera." Lloyd warns, before closing the doors and rejoining his friends, who are handcuffed.
"By the power of Mayor Trustable, I nearby place all of you former, old, new new Ninja under arrest." Teal Ninja said, cuffing Lloyd. "And don't worry. We'll find your accomplice Aspheera soon enough."
"Daddy, daddy!" Raya sobbed, running towards Kai and tackling him, clinging to him tightly. "Don't go, please!" She begs.
"Hey, kid, back off." Pink Ninja tried to grab her, but Lloyd kicks him away.
"Are you really that heartless?" Skylor demanded, her hands on her hips. "What's wrong with a child saying goodbye to her father? Forever can spare a minute!"
Kai turns his attention to Raya. "I have to sweetheart." He told her gently. "You be good for mommy, and help Aunty Nya, ok?"
Chantal walks over.
"As the lawyer for the real and original Ninja, I'm saying this. You freaks have no idea what you're doing! The city needs these Ninja!" She gestures to the Ninja. "Not you Rainbow, Skittles!"
"Take it up with Mayor Trustable, lady." Teal Ninja told her, giving the signal and our heroes are then lead away.
Teal Ninja walks over to Master Wu, Skylor, and PIXAL who are surrounding Nya. "We don't have any reason to arrest you three. Yet. But I warn you." He said as he starts to leave. "We're watching you. And if you give us any reason to even think you're following the ninja's example, we'll be back. And you will face, the New! Ninja! Smoke bomb!" As he throws it down, he doesn't run out of sight in time. "New Ninja!" He uses another smoke bomb before running up the flight of stairs.

At Borg Tower, Eleanor's cell phone rings, pulling her out of a deep sleep. She rolls over and reaches for it and looking at the caller id with blurry sleepy eyes. "Chantal?" She yawns. "It's 2am."
"THE NINJA JUST GOT ARRESTED!" You can hears the sobs in the background, and it wasn't Chantal, but she was close to joining in.
Eleanor fully awakes. "WHAT!?" She cries, falling out of bed.
