As it turns out, Kai had an infuriating old customer to deal with and he wasn't so good in the sword industry. The old man eventually gave up, but that didn't stop the dark clouds from brewing.
Rumbles could be heard in the distance and Blue felt nervous as this wasn't likely any sort of thunder. It sounded like motor equipment!
Barely a second passed by before Ignacia was invaded by… skeletons? They chased dozens of the citizens throughout the roads, mud splashing everywhere as real thunder brewed in the air.
Kai went out to do what any reasonable person would do. He grabbed a sword and some heavy samurai armour.
Blue felt concerned. "Wouldn't the armour slow you down?" Blue asked.
Kai nodded. "Yes," Kai pulled the armour over his head. "Even the old man knew that! I just need the protection." Kai gave Blue one last look. "Stay with Nya please." Then, he ran out into the horde of skeletons.
Nya groaned. "I can handle myself!" She had her arms crossed and her face was red.
Blue looked at Nya and nodded. "You're just as capable as Kai," Blue agreed. "We can handle a bunch of bones!"
Nya chuckled. "True!" She grabbed the closest weapon to her, which was a wooden staff in the shape of bamboo.
Blue took a slight bit longer finding his choice of weapon. He grabbed some nunchucks and whipped them excellently.
Nya ran outside to find Kai cornered. Nya, almost in panic, bravely smacked a skeletons boney head off.
"Blue," Kai groaned, eying his nunchucks. "You were supposed to watch her!"
Blue shook his head. "You were cornered!" Blue slammed his nunchucks into another skeleton, knocking it away.
Kai sighed inwardly. "Fine," Kai sliced an arm off a skeleton. "Go protect Nya, though!"
Blue nodded and was nearly toppled by another skeleton, but he hit it just in time. It flew into the water tower, causing it to wobble and creak.
"Careful!" Kai yowled, being challenged by a more foreboding skeleton. "Go help Nya!" Kai said before Blue could defend him.
Blue pushed through several more skeletons before being dogpiled by three more. As Blue struggled, the skeletons popped off of him like popcorn. Weird…
Suddenly, a commanding yowl split the air. "Garmadon says to get the girl and her companion!"
Blue found Nya and himself grasped by some boney hand before being dragged backwards. The last thing he saw before he was knocked unconscious by a large branch, was an elderly man defending Kai with some pretty tornado with rusty gold sparks licking up the sides.
