Heya Heya! A LOT happens in this chapter, pay attention!
Quick note: I probably won't be able to update for at least a few days after this chapter. If I am, then they will be shorter chapters. An unforeseen event has occurred. BUT DON'T WORRY! I still have the last few chapters in their written stages.
This is my longest chapter ever.
I own nothing.
Chapter 26: Battle on Two Fronts
Ships rammed forward. Speeders charged through Dark Army members. Ground forces on both sides ran forward. Clones and droids alike let out their own artillery, cutting down hundreds of the Overlord's forces at a time. In turn, as the Galactic forces charged, Nindroids and Pirates le their own shots cut down several random soldiers too.
Then, as the two armies clashed in hand-to-hand distance on the battlefield, chaos ensued.
On the bridge of The Wisp, deck officers were running frantically to keep their shields raised and their cannons aimed at the Garmatron II. Admiral Yularen gave out his orders in haste, making sure they provided whatever assistance necessary to the ground forces. "Keep your focus on their flagship! That beast of a vessel must remain distracted by our artillery up here, so they do not annihilate Fleet Admiral Walker and our own men!"
"A sound plan, Admiral."
The middle aged man turned in the chaos to the Chiss Thrawn, who accompanied the crew on their new mission: To rescue Jay Walker's home from the threat of the Dark Army. Within an hour, two strangers came through a portal as Jay had ten years ago, though this time, they were greeted with open arms. The two strangers, who identified themselves as Nya Smith and Ronin, also came from Ninjago, and they apparently came to request aid to save their homeland.
Upholding his oath to keep peace and provide aid where necessary, Fleet Admiral Jay Walker immediately recalled all of the Republic's allies and opened hundreds of new copied portals to bring the Galactic Army against the Dark Army. And the Chiss Representative joined them for tactical assistance.
"If I may, Admiral Yularen, while The Wisp retains its focus on the enemies flagship, I suggest communicating to our own in-orbit fighters below to focus on THAT vessel." His blue hand extended towards the outside of the ship's observation deck. Yularen followed it's trail to one ship that stood out from the rest of the Dark Army aircrafts: The Misfortune's Keep.
"Why?"
"I have observed that the majority of their fleet is made up of this particular faction; preliminary scans indicate that the on-board computer systems of this particular vessel act as the control hub of their crafts. If our ships can take it out, we will snuff out a large portion of their fleet."
Yularen nodded, agreeing with the Chiss. He turned to the nearest officer. "You heard him! Relay the command to Hawk's squadron, we need to take out that ship!"
Lloyd used the shattered end of his blade to cut down several Oni approaching him. A single serpentine warrior almost got the drop on him, and as he turned to see its rusted blade swing down, a bolt of lightning blasted the snake into ashes. The Green Ninja turned to see Jay run up to his side, a mature grin on his scarred face.
"Hey, Lloyd. Long time." Words could not express the emotions he was feeling right now. Confusion? Anger? Joy? Ignoring his instincts to focus on the choas around them, he tackled Jay with a hug as tears began to stream down his eyes. Several of Jay's allies circled around them so they would not be attacked.
"LONG TIME? That's all you've got to say, ya' jerk?" He choked out short laughs through his tears, punching Jay lightly on the arm. "And what happened..." He gestured at the scars and eyepatch. "Up here? And this getup? AND who the hell are these people? AND IS THAT A SPACESHIP?"
Jay couldn't help but chuckle at the confusion. "It's a long story. I'll tell you everything when we are done here, and in turn, I want to know everything that's happened here. But in short: I've become the leader of a galactic armada tasked with preserving the peace of the Galaxy to which I was teleported when I defeated the Overlord ten years ago. The day you thought I died."
"...WOW."
"OH! I made lots of new friends, mastered my powers, and discovered new ones that I never knew I had before."
"Like what?"
"Like- THIS!" He pushed Lloyd to the side and held up his left arm toward an incoming Pirate Raider missile. Lloyd hadn't seen it coming, but to his shock, as Jay extended his arm, the missile slowed and then stopped midair. "How...?"
"The Force. Again, a long story!" Jay twisted his hand, turning the missile backwards and let it go, allowing it to hit a random Rattlecopter as it crushed the main Fire Fang. "But it sure is handy! Now, come on, Lloyd, we've got a Realm to save!"
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
On the ground, in the midst of all the chaos, Cole and Kai ran to fight alongside Nya and a few of the men she had with her. "SIS!" They cut through two Nindorids and a Pyro Viper as they each embraced her in a quick hug, which she gladly returned before focusing on their surroundings again. "I thought they killed you!"
"They almost had. But now..."
"NOW... Jay! That's really him?!" Cole looked off to the side to see the scarred ginger they once knew as their brother cut through a surrounding flank of Nindroids like cake without batting his one eye. "What happened to him?"
"It's apparently a long story, he'll fill us in on the details assuming we survive this!" Kai was about to respond with a quick jab before two small tornadoes approached them; one of Wind, one of Fire. The Clones and battle droids that surrounded Kai and Nya noticed them first, quickly pointing to them. "Spinjitzu tornadoes! Men, remember Admiral Walker's training! AIM FOR THE BASE!"
To the collective surprise of Nya, Cole, and Kai, the strangely uniformed troopers had been well-trained by Jay. With their blasters aimed carefully, they shot a flurry of blue lasers at the bases of the tornadoes, knocking both Morro and Aspheera off-balance and crashing to the ground. But before the troops or the three Ninja could make a move, Morro let out a huge gust of wind, knocking all of the troops onto their backs.
"Well done, Morro. It is time we end this game." With the first Forbidden Scroll wrapped around her scepter in hand, the Serpentine Queen grinned at the two Ninja and strangely-dressed female warrior. "I will finish the Red one. There's only room for one Master of Fire. You take the Black one."
"With pleasure!" Morro summoned a cursed blade and charged towards Cole, and Aspheera sped towards Kai.
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
Zane ran to Pixal and joined her in fighting back-to-back, fending off several Dark Army soldiers at once. With her sai, Pixal killed several Serpentine, shattered incoming Blizzard Samurai, and sliced attacking SoG bikers. With his Elemental powers and his shurikens, Zane froze dozens of Pyro Vipers, burst Skulkin warriors and vermillion alike to pieces, and even managed to kill a few stray Oni warriors.
"Keep fighting Pixal! We've got this!"
"Yes. It seems that you do." Both Nindroids turned in the heat of battle to see General Cryptor approach them with his sword. "But I am here to fulfill the destiny my Dark Master created me with: DESTROYING YOU!" As it was clear he openly challenged them, the surrounding Dark Army soldiers turned their attention to the Galactic Army forces and the other Ninja. Zane, noticing this, saw his opportunity.
"Oh, please. You Couldn't even kill me with your sword in my chest. At least with Echo, there was an actual motive. Unlike you: you were simply programmed to hate me."
Pixal could see he was goading him, and it was working. Cryptor's angered expression was visible through his mask as his grip on the sword tightened. "SHUT UP." But Zane was not about to give up.
"Ironic, isn't it Cryptor? How the knock off was the one with some flare and actual danger, while you are nothing but a drone. And your not even the original drone! Kozu is! I guess its sad, though... how the mindless drone general saw himself as my nemesis." That did the trick.
Cryptor raised his sword towards the pair, anger clearly expressed now. "I am your nemesis! I am your bane! I AM..." Without warning he charged forward in rage. "...YOUR END!" As he swung at the two, Zane ran forward and ducked under the blade, while Pixal hopped over Cryptor and grabbed him by the head, pulling him down to the ground.
Before he could pull himself up, Zane threw his shurikens at his arms, incapacitating them. Pixal then grabbed his sword from the groundand hacked at his legs, leaving the Nindroid General a limp body on the ground. "NO! NO, IT CAN'T BE!"
Zane extended his hand out, to which Pixal placed the sword in. As she nodded to her love before returning to aid in the surrounding fight, she quickly looked at Cryptor with a look of satisfaction. The Dark Nindroid hated her even more for it.
Zane walked around to crouch down next to Cryptor's head, sword still in plain sight. "Do you have any last words, Cryptor? At least make your death an honorable one." The evil General stared at Zane before responding.
"If I could... I would spit in your face right now." The response was only met with a sigh of disappointment. "Very well then. But for what it is worth... you made a fine fighter, until now." With a swing down, the red sword split Cryptor's head in two, completely destroying his processor chip.
"Copy that, Sir!" Receiving his orders from the command deck of The Wisp, Hawk focused his squadron's efforts on the Misfortune's Keep. Though the battleship was surrounded by aiding fighters of the same faction, forming an impregnable line of defense. Unless...
The Clone pilot opened a communication channel. "Commander MoBy!"
The Battle Droid's voice crackled through. "-What is it, Hawk?! I'm kinda busy!-"
"Sir, we need to take out the ship Misfortune's Keep! My Clone and droid fighters are trying, but the defending ships are too many to break through!"
"-I see where you're going with this! Just keep them distracted up there, we'll handle it!-"
As he switched off, MoBy looked up to see the massive flying pirate ship engaging it's defenses with Hawk's fighters. "Ronin! Commander Bo-Katan!" The two turned towards him, the expressions of focus emanating even through the Mandalorian's helmet. The Battle Droid wasted no time as he pointed up to the ship.
"We need to fly up there and destroy that ship!" She nodded and signaled and a dozen other surrounding Mandalorians. Ronin did the same and released his wings, grabbing onto the Mechanic as they flew up with MoBy.
As the small batch of flyers curved through ships, helicopters, and droid fighters, stray blasts managed to hit three Mandalorian fighters. Barely dodging a hit, Bo-Katan latched on to the bottom of the hull of Misfortune's Keep, quickly followed by the other nine Mandos, Ronin with the Mechanic in his arms, and MoBy.
"OK, listen up! Commander, you and your fighters go up on the front side and create a distraction! Kill as many Pirates as you can, while the three of us take out the ship's controls!"
Still latched to hull, the ten Mandalorians crawled towards the front of the ship as MoBy, Ronin, and the Mechanic did the same towards the ship's side.
*ON DECK*
As cannons fired on all sides, Pirates whooped and cheered at the chaos, finally feeling back in their element since they were brought into the Dark Army fold. But Dogshank and Doubloon attempted to keep them in line. "KEEP FIRING, YA GRUNTS! CAPTAIN NADAKHAN NEEDS US TO DISTRACT THESE SHIPS UP HERE WHILE HE AIDS OUR ALLIES DOWN BELOW!"
The blue-skinned behemoth glanced to the ships side, where she saw her lover's jet cutting through droid fighters left and right. Indeed, Flintlocke's aim was just as true with a pistol as it was behind the controls.
But she regained focus on the situation at hand when the mute Doubloon tapped her on the shoulder. "WHAT?"
The angry demon face switched to his innocent one, looking rather concerned as he pointed towards the front of the ship. Realizing what he was referring to, she noticed a pair of gloved hands latch onto the tip of the ship's deck. Then another, and another, until ten figures simultaneously jumped up onto the deck, swords and blasters in hand.
"INTRUDERS!" Dogshank put her fists together. Doubloon regained his demon face and took out his blade. The other 20 pirates on deck left their posts at the cannons and took out their assortment of knives and pistols. "ATTACK!"
The 22 pirates charged towards the ten Mandalorians, failing to notice the MoBy, Ronin, and the Mechanic climb up towards the command deck from the side.
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
Cole had his hammer in hand, already engaging the Ghost General. Thanks to Cyrus, there was a small outline of Deepstone on the hammer's edges. It was not enough to dissipate Morro, but it would hurt him. The problem was managing to get a hit in.
"HA! I know we've never officially met, Cole, but I admire your aptitude to fight!" The echoing voice of the cursed Elemental only sent chills down Cole's spine, but he didn't let it distract him.
"Yeah? Well, there's nothing I can say I admire about you, traitor! Let's see..." He dodged another swing of the cursed blade and attempted to get his own hits in. "You were a brat who wanted to be the Green Ninja. You left our Sensei Wu in shame. You spent your life trying to find and desecrate the burial ground of the First Spinjitzu master, until it killed you! AND NOW, you ally yourself with the scum of creation!"
With that last remark, Morro was distracted enough to lower his defenses for a split second, enough time for Cole to land a blow to his chest, sending him back several feet. "AUGH!"
Cole walked through the surrounding flurry of blaster bolts and clashing blades until he stood over Morro's fallen figure. "Surrender, Morro. You don't have to be imprisoned in the Cursed Realm once more." He extended his hammer down to ensure Morro wouldn't try to get back up.
But he didn't notice the small green blade forming in Morro's hand." Alright Cole. I admit it, your a better fighter than me." The Master of Earth sighed with relief as he was preparing to knock out Morro for the rest of the battle.
"WHICH IS WHY I DO THIS!" Using his power of Wind, Morro sent the small cursed knife through the air straight into Cole's abdomen. The Black Ninja stumbled backwards, confused from the pain, until he himself fell onto his back. "Wh-what-?" He looked down to the wound, but became even more confused when he saw he wasn't bleeding. Instead, the skin around the blade began to turn green as well, and both his body and his Gi were turning translucent.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" He looked up in panic to the approaching Morro, who had a sly sneer on his face. "I told you, you are a better fighter than me. So I figured you should put those skills to the ghost cause. And hey, if you say no, you won't be a threat to anyone once we kill all your friends!"
The Black Ninja realized what was happening: He was turning into a ghost. He put his hands to his face, defeated, as Morro laughed. Until a familiar voice cut through the air. "NO!" Both ghosts turned to see a girl in red samurai armor approaching them, her sword in hand.
In a flurry of movements, she threw punches, kicks, and sung her sword at Morro. To no avail. The Ghost General just stood there, laughing as each blow went straight through him. "Nice try, sweetie, but that won't work on me!"
Still in blind rage, she threw down her sword and bundled her fists. In the blink of an eye, a ball of water formed around each hand, shocking Morro in place. "Wait-you're Ny-" Before he could finish, she shot a large beam of water at him, completely dissipating his figure back to the Cursed Realm. Both Cole and Nya were shocked by this; they had no idea water was their weakness.
"COLE!" Nya turned towards her lover, who was now entirely green and translucent. She attempted to hug him, but her arms went straight through his body. "No..."
"It's going to be ok, Nya. Water destroys the ghosts. You take care of them. I'll keep fighting." He smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. With his focus, his lips became physical just long enough to meet hers, before he picked up his hammer. "Now let's get back to the task at hand!" He turned and ran towards a few approaching Anacondrai warriors, and she turned towards a small group of ghost warriors eager to avenge their general.
She quickly grinned, beginning to form water knives in her hand. "Let's do this, you damned bastards."
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
Dareth sliced his blade through a Sky Pirate, taking a quick moment to notice the fight around him. Jedi were cutting through their enemies, sans the Stone Army Warriors and Ghosts, who they repelled with the Force. Clones, Droids, Hondo and his Pirates, Naboo Warriors, and Mandalorians alike were now completely engaged with the Dark Army on the surface.
To his side, he saw Brad and Karlof fighting back-to-back, fending off several enemies at a time. "We're doing it! We are actually doing it!"
"Don't be too sure, Brown Ninja!" As the Sky Pirate's body slid off his blade, he was met with the cold stare of Samukai. Kruncha and Knuckal were both flanking their General. "You may have new allies, but the Dark Army will reign supreme! But you won't live to see it!"
He unsheathed his four bone daggers and spun them in his classical fashion. Kruncha and Knuckal each took out their bone axes, aimed right at Dareth's head. Just as the three began to approach him, he noticed Ultra Violet racing towards him from the side on her purple motorcycle, cackling maniacally. He grinned, seeing his move.
Perfect.
Within three seconds, three things happened.
First, Ultra Violet raced right alongside Dareth, who immediately grabbed the handle and used spinjitzu to spin her off, sending her flying into the surrounding crowd. He immediately jumped onto the seat.
Second, Samukai and his two generals jumped in the air, diving down at Dareth.
Third, Dareth sped up the cycle and pointed its two red blades forward jumping off of it midair. The two blades went through the three Skulkin, throwing them down to the ground. On impact, Samukai dissipated back into a stray spirit, and vanished back to the Departed Realm. "NNnnooo-"
Kruncha and Knuckal, on the other hand, were pinned under the motorcycle.
"Nnnn, get this off!"
"I'm trying!"
Dareth walked towards them, noticing the leaking fluid from the motorcycles engine. "Too late, boys!" The two skulking followed his gaze, realizing what he meant. "NO! PLEASE, STOP IT! STOP-" A stray laser bolt from one of the Nindroids hit the fluid, causing a small explosion that sent Dareth flying back into a few Battle Droids. When he got back up, all that remained were black charred bones scattered.
"Good riddance."
Bo-Katan punched another Sky Pirate to the side, sending him off the ledge of the deck, plunging him down to the surface. "AAAAUGGH!"
She turned to see Doubloon swing his sword at her, narrowly missing. Stray bullets from their pistols bounced off the Mandalorian's Beskar armor, hitting the deck and even managing to hit a few of the Sky Pirates. The other Mandalorians continued to fight the Sky Pirates in hand-to-hand, managing to keep up their distraction.
*ON THE COMMAND DECK*
MoBy, Ronin, and the Mechanic successfully climbed up onto the top of the ship, getting through the door into the inner workings of the upper level. The Mechanic led the way, as he helped design the ship while he still with the Dark Army. "This way."
Turning the corner, he saw three figures in the command room: a random Sky Pirate standing at attention, Monkey Wrench at the ship's computer, and Clancee at the wheel. "NOW!"
The three jumped in, guns blazing. MoBy managed to kill the random pirate. Ronin's shots narrowly missed Clancee as he dove to the side, leaving the wheel in place. The shots from the Mechanic's cannon-arm hit Monkey Wrench's tail, infuriating the monkey. "MoBy, get the wheel!"
The Battle Droid ran towards the steering wheel, grabbing it to make sure the ship didn't fly crash prematurely with them still on board. Clancee picked himself up and began to run towards the droid, but was tackled back down by Ronin. "Not this one, snake!"
"What do you think you are doing Ronin, huh? Why are you helping them? Their time has come, the Dark Army rules supreme now! Don't forget, you are one of us!" That last comment sent Ronin over the edge. He picked the green-skinned hybrid up by the shoulders and pinned him against the wall.
"I am not, NOR WAS I EVER, one of you!" He threw Clancee down, giving the snake to pick up his personal blade. "Very well then, traitor, let's finish this!"
The two engaged in sword play, Clancee managing to pierce Ronin's armor at the shoulder and create a gash. "RONIN!" The Mechanic, noticing his friend's peril, raised his cannon arm to shoot the serpentine. But right as he fired, Monkey Wrench grabbed the arm and pointed it up, shooting through the viewport. Now, wind was circling through the room, pushing everyone back except for MoBy, who locked his feet down.
The Mechanic grabbed the robotic animal with his good arm, staring at him right in the eyes. "You may be a better mechanic than me, monkey..." As the creature struggled tp break free from his grasp, its head met the end of the cannon arm. "...But you never were a better fighter."
With a single blast, Monkey Wrench's head burst open, and his lifeless body was picked up by the winds and flew out the whole in the window. "GUYS! That's our cue!"
MoBy nodded, taking out a blaster and firing at the ship's computers. Small explosions slowly began to erupt around them, knocking Clancee off of his game. Ronin, recognizing his advantage hit the snake with the butt end of his sword, coldcocking him. "Good luck getting out of this mess, Clancee." He tied the snake's arm to the steering wheel, then took his sword and burst through the window. "LET'S GO!"
*ON THE LOWER DECK*
The Mandalorian Commander punched Doubloon back, knocking him into Dogshank. She noticed the large female Sky Pirate was holding a ball and chain her clutches. "Time to end this, puny fighter."
As she took a step forward, the ship suddenly shook violently, and began to point downwards. Bo-Katan grinned. "I couldn't have said it better."
Before Dogshank and Doubloon could understand what is going on, she signaled the other nine Mandalorians to take off. The Misfortune's Keep began to tilt downwards further, and the Sky Pirates on board began to fall down towards their deaths. The two remaining, Dogshank and Doubloon, held onto the ship's supporting pillars, but failed to notice Bo-Katan flying just below them.
"Hey, ugly!" Dogshank looked down to see the blue-and-grey warrior lean down and fire her jetpack missile, aiming right for her face. "OH, YOU'VE GOTTA BE SHITTING M-"
The projectile exploded in her face, killing the giant instantly. Her limp body began to fall downwards towards the surface. With satisfaction from her kill in battle, Bo flew back down, leaving Doubloon clutching onto the pillar for dear life, while simultaneously ensuring his death.
The officers on board the deck of The Wisp began to cheer as they saw the Misfortune's Keep plummet downwards towards the surface. Even Thrawn managed a smile of satisfaction, but Yularen called back for attention. "The battle isn't won yet! We still have to take out THAT somehow!" He pointed to the Garmatron II, which still had its shields raised in defense.
In the command room of the Overlord's flagship, Skulkin and Ghost warriors ran around in panic. Sensei Yang sat at the captain's chair, watching the Misfortune's Keep begin its descent towards the Dark Army forces below. "DAMN IT ALL TO HELL! Keep shields up! They cannot be allowed to take us out!"
A few member's of the Overlord's top Generals realized their strength in united numbers before the enemies even engaged. After she was flung off of her bike, Ultra Violet ran to regroup with the Time Twins, two of the Vermillion Generals Machia and Raggmunk, Iron Baron, Skalidor, Acidicus, Clouse riding the Anacondrai Serpent, and Char.
Unfortunately for them, they grouped themselves underneath the Misfortune's Keep.
Iron Baron was the first to notice the shadow around them encompassing. But it was too late. "LOOK OUT!"
*ON THE COMMAND DECK*
The sound of the explosions around him woke Clancee to see the ship approach the ground at ramming speed. Out of fear, he pulled to get his hands untied from the wheel, but conceded once he realized it was too late. In his final moments, he closed his eyes. "Well, a Pirate's life earns a Pirate's death."
*ON THE BATTLEFIELD*
The ship collided into the ground, exploding on impact. Clancee and Doubloon were incinerated, along with the 9 Generals and the Anacondrai Serpent. Warriors on both sides looked up to see the fire in the battlefield grow as the Sky Pirate fleet began to follow the lead of their flagship.
One-man fighters lost their signal and crashed down into Galactic and Dark Army forces alike. Raid Zeppelins collided into surrounding Skulkin aircrafts, Rattlecopters, Nindroid gunships, Blade Copters, and Dragon Hunter jets. The last aircraft left was the sky shark, with Flintlocke struggling to keep the fighter in the air. "C'MON, NO! NO!"
But it was too late. Hawk's fighter shot at his engine, sending him spiraling until he hit the Ice Dragon Boreal midair. The resulting explosion sent General Vex flying down, crashing right next to Nadahan. The Djinn had tears in his eyes as he watched his ship burn, with all of his crew burning.
The Blizzard Samurai General picked himself up, terrified at the ensuing bloodshed around them. "Captain Nadakhan… What do we do?"
He summoned his four daggers, fury in his eyes as he looked to see Captain Rex, Maul, and an assortment of Nightsisters running towards him. "WE KILL THEM ALL!" Before Vex could respond, the Djinn teleported in front of the approaching enemies, leaving him holding onto the Ice Scepter with the Second Forbidden Scroll, and seeing an angry looking Zane run towards him.
"Very well, then."
*TO THE SIDE OF THE BATTLEFIELD*
Kai was holding his ground against the Serpentine Queen. Her Spinjitzu tornado was larger. Her fire was hotter, brighter, and there was more of it. But he was still the Elemental Master. As she sent beams of fire towards him, the Red Ninja jumped to dodge each blow. He swerved to each side, ducked, and spun. Until he was too slow, and one beam hit him right in the chest.
"AHA! Got you now, you meddlesome twerp!"
Her fire slowly burned Kai's Gi, causing him to wince in pain. Until one Clutch Power ran forwards and shot several rounds from his revolver at the Serpentine. The last bullt pierced through her eye, causing her to let go of the scepter and clutch her wound in pain. "AUGH!"
Clutch helped pick Kai up onto his feet, blowing the smoke off the tip of his pistol. "Still got it." Kai nodded with a grin, quickly diving to pick up Aspheera's scepter before she could. Fortunately for him, she didn't even notice until his eyes lit up from the Scroll's power.
"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!"
The Red Ninja grinned. "You were right, Aspheera; There's only enough room for one Master of Fire." The scepter began to glow, and a beam of energy wrapped around her. Slowly, her scales reverted from gold to their original black, and the fire absorbed back towards Kai, until she was left clawing on the ground wounded.
With Aspheera's power over Fire gone, the Fire Fangs and Pyro Viper soldiers dusted away into nothingness, leaving mummy rags scattered across the battlefield.
The nearby Clone Fives noticed their injured enemy and stunned her before she could move again. "KALANI! GET THIS PRISONER ONTO A GUNSHIP!" The Droid General nodded, sending two Commando Droids to pick up her unconscious body onto a nearby ship. Fives nodded to Kai and Clutch, who nodded back, then all three noticed Zane engaging Vex.
Both Masters of Ice were shooting beams at each other, but just like Kai was, Zane was outmatched by the Scroll's influence. Until Kai took action and used the Scroll to spin a huge tornado of Fire to collide right with Vex, knocking him to the ground. Following Kai's lead, Zane used his shurikens to knock the Scepter out of Vex's hand, and as the Ice General was still dizzy from the impact, he absorbed the power of Ice back into him. "NO!"
Just as the Pyro Vipers dusted away, the Blizzard Samurai who were made up of ice shattered into shards. The one's who were corrupted, however, turned back into their human selves and fled the scene in a scared panic. Grimfax's and his samurai, however, stayed to fight the Dark Army forces that remained.
Vex, now reverted back to his human self, stared at his bare hands. Realization hit him, that he was once again powerless. He looked up to Zane, who stood over him with the Scepter in hand, his eyes glowing blue.
In fear, the pitiful man bowed to him. "My Lord... You are my master, I see that now! Please... Please spare me!" Zane paid him little attention as he turned towards Fives. "Take him away, soldier. He will pay for his crimes in life, not death."
As the Clone Trooper put cuffs on Vex and dragged him to the nearby gunship, Zane walked up to Kai and Clutch. The two Ninja now held onto the Scrolls of Spinjitzu, and already they began to feel their corrosive effects. "Kai, we cannot hold onto these for too long."
"I know. Let's find the others and think of something!" The three ran into their surroundings, fighting off the Nindroids, Skulkin, Bikers, Oni, Serpentine, Ghosts, and Dragon Hunters that remained as they did.
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
Dareth ran to fight besides Cole, who he could now see was a ghost. "COLE! What happened?"
"Morro happened. Nya took care of him, but I guess I'm a ghost now." He used his hammer to shatter an incoming Skulkin, showing little emotion as he did. Dareth noticed. "Is it reversible?"
"I don't think so. But let's worry about that later."
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
Nadakhan teleported through the Nightsisters, stabbing several at a time as he did. Even with their heightened sensitivity, they failed to keep up with his speed. His blades pierced the chests and backs of dozens already, and he was approaching Maul fast.
The Zabrak waved his orange lightsaber around, attempting to ward off the Djinn. As he did, he successfully cut through the four knives he was holding. "BAH!"
Nadakhan grabbed Maul by the arm and teleported several hundred feet into the air, letting him go before he could react. Fortunately for Maul, Savage and Ventress both saw him falling fast, and used the force to slow his descent until he gently landed back down.
But Rex, on the other hand, was the only one left against the fast-approaching Djinn. He fired his blasters in every direction the he appeared, but ultimately failed as Nadakhan teleported right in front of him. "Time to die, soldier boy!"
Suddenly, a green mist surrounded the Djinn, rendering him incapable to move. Both he and Rex turned to see Mother Talzin using her sorcery to stop him. "I think not, four-armed one. You have spilled the blood of my Sisters. For this you shall pay... but I think Jay Walker would see to it you live to face justice if at all possible." With a snap of her fingers, the green mist went up into Nadakhan's mouth, causing him to fall down unconscious.
Rex picked himself up and cuffed both pairs of hands on the Djinn. "My thanks, Mother Talzin."
She nodded in respect. "I will take this murderer to a gunship, Captain. Get back to the battle at hand."
*ACROSS THE BATTLEFIELD*
With his Elemental Blade and the Force, Jay was knocking back enemies left and right. Even Lloyd couldn't keep up with his moves. But the two of them looked to the side when they heard the angered screams of Kai and Zane. From the side, the Masters of Fire and Ice were clearly being corrupted by the scroll's influence. Neither Clutch nor Pixal could get them to let go.
But Jay and Lloyd knew what to do. As Jay turned his Elemental Blade off, Lloyd balled his fists and summoned two green energy beams, shooting straight at them. As Clutch and Pixal dove to each side, the two ninja were knocked back lightly, just enough for them to let go of the Scepters and send them flying into the air.
And both were caught by Jay.
A dark blue flame erupted on the head of the Master of Lightning. His one eye glowed cobalt blue. Turning to Omega and a small squadron of Oni, he blasted them with a single bolt of raw lightning, incinerating the Bringers of Doom immediately.
He looked around to see Lloyd, Kai, Zane, Pixal, and Clutch backing up nervously, while the two armies were still fighting around them. He looked up to see the Garmatron II. That's when he realized where he recognized it. It's the same ship from my vision on Dathomir.
Without hesitation, he pointed both scepters upwards towards the flagship.
Yang looked down from the viewport and zoomed in on Jay's figure. He saw both Scepters with the Scrolls pointed right at them. "OH, NO!"
"ENOUGH." Jay spun into an enlarged blue tornado of Lightning, roughly the size of the Tornado of Creation. With the power of the Scrolls, he sent a massive continuous dark blue bolt of lightning straight towards the ship.
"Well, shit." The dark blue bolt crashed through the hull of the ship, going straight into the command deck of the Garmatron II. Stray bolts emerged off of it, incinerating the Ghosts and Skulkin alike on board, causing massive explosions from the computer systems. Until only Yang was the last one, accepting his fate as the lighting sent him to the Departed Realm for eternity.
The massive ship burst down the middle, sending both halves crashing down onto the desert field behind the battlelines. Jay stopped spinning and threw both scepters to the ground, turning to his friends with a smile.
Letting his gaurd down was a major mistake, as he failed to see the dark figure approaching him fast. As he turned back to see what Kai and Zane were pointing to, Karlof jumped in between him and the dark figure. "LOOK OUT!"
Jay watched as the Dark Dragon Blade of the Overlord stabbed Karlof in the back, killing the Master of Metal. From the side, Jay recognized the voice of Brad yell "NO!," but failed to look at him as he stared at the reddish-purple eyes of the Overlord reincarnated.
"Overlord... You're going to pay for that, and all the other blood on your hands!"
Pythor slid to the Overlord's side, sneering at the boy back from the dead. "Well, well, well, what have we here? Have you come back for round two, Jay?"
The Overlord chuckled at Pythor's query. "You'll find that will be much harder now than it was ten years ago. I have become more powerful than you could possibly imagine, BOY!"
With Lloyd at his side, and Brad crouching down next to Jay sobbing over Karlof's body, Jay re-ignited his Elemental Blade with a smirk. "So have I."
