Chapter 6: Two Lies, One Truth
Morning had just come in the First Realm, when the other hunters found Daddy No Legs and Muzzle still tied up in the desert. Iron Baron and the rest of his hunters were riding in their vehicles still looking for the Ninja.
When they saw two of their own just sitting out in the desert they decided to investigate. "Remember let me do the talking." Daddy No Legs told Muzzle, as the hunters got closer. Iron Baron got out of the vehicle, and walked over to them.
"Daddy No Legs, Muzzle, what happened?" he asked. "Well, you see..." Daddy No Legs started. But Muzzle started speaking in his own gibberish language. "What? Heavy Metal is working with the Ninja?" asked Iron Baron.
"That is correct." Daddy No Legs admitted. Iron Baron yelled in anger. "First, they destroy our village, then they free our dragon prisoners, and now they've turned my right hand hunter?" "Iron Baron, I'd be honored to take Heavy Metal's place." offered Jet Jack.
"No, I want to see Heavy Metal suffer a terrible consequence for treason, then I'll pick a successor." Iron Baron told her. Chew Toy started smelling the ground. "They went that way." He said, pointing off into the distance.
"Then after them." Iron Baron ordered. With that the hunters got into their vehicles, and drove off into the desert. "I swear, Heavy Metal, you're gonna be sorry you ever turned on us." Iron Baron said to himself.
Back in Ninjago the remaining members of the Resistance had taken shelter in an abandoned boathouse. "Looks like we're safe for now." Nya reporter, and sticking her head back inside.
"So now that we've all eaten, can you tell us how you turned into a rat?" Lloyd asked Mistake. "The same way I can look like this." Mistake answered. With a wave of her hands in front of her face, she turned into old Master Wu.
Everyone gasped. "Pretty cool for an old lady, huh?" She asked as she changed back into herself. "Mistake, you're an...Oni." Said Lloyd. "But that's impossible." Added Harumi. "I thought Oni were scary creatures that don't want to do anything but destroy things." Dareth pointed out.
"It's true we are. So don't get on my bad side." said Mistake. "But how'd you get here, you're supposed to be in the First Realm?" asked Nya. "And when did you get here?" added Skylor. "She came when the First Spinjitzu Master crossed over from the First Realm." answered Lloyd.
"That's correct, Young Garmadon. Because your grandfather still had Oni blood in his we thought we could convince him to come to our side, and if he refused to kill him. They sent me to do this task, but he refused to take our side. But I grew to love Ninjago, so I turned on my fellow Oni. And I helped the First Spinjitzu Master and his descendants ever since." Mistake explained.
"But how have you hid this all this time?" wondered Harumi. "We Oni have the power to transform, it comes in handy." Mistake told her. But now Lloyd was confused. "Wait, if I have Oni blood in me why can't I transform?" he asked her.
"What do you mean, you've made many transformations over the years. First you were a bratty child, then you turned into the Green Ninja, and now you're the leader of our Resistance. But in order to face your father, you'll need to make another." Mistake explained to him.
At the top of Lord Garmadon's building, the Sons of Garmadon met up. "Has he come back yet?" asked Hutchins. "Nope." answered Killow. "He hasn't been seen since the Green Ninja got away." added Ultraviolet.
"Keep looking for the son. I'll find our leader." said Hutchins.
In the First Realm, the Ninja, Teen Wu, and Faith had stopped for a quick rest and to tune up the vehicles. Faith had just finished tuning up one of the vehicles when heard Kai and Jay arguing over the water bag.
Annoyed she walked over to them. "Gee where's Nya when she's needed?" asked Jay, as he and Kai kept fighting. Then Faith drew her sword, scaring the two guys. But instead of hurting them, she used her sword to cut open a cactus filled with water.
"There, now you can both get a drink." she told them. "Thanks." said Kai, then he and Jay started fighting over the cactus. "I don't know how you all managed to survive this long." she scoffed. Cole walked up to Teen Wu.
"Master, sooner or later you're going to have to tell her that you don't know where this Dragon Armor is." he told him. "It can't be a coincidence. I had a dream about my father telling me to have faith, and then we meet Faith." Teen Wu replied.
"But you don't even know if the armor's where you think it is. You could be leading us to trouble." "I can't think about that now." "Look, it's never to easy to admit when you're wrong about something, but you never taught us to take the easy way out." said Cole.
"There's trouble coming your way." said Teen Wu. "Hey, don't try and make this about me." said Cole. "No, look." said Teen Wu pointing behind him. Off in the distance, they could hear and see the hunters coming towards them.
"The hunters, we've got to go, now." said Faith. Everyone got in the speeders, and drove away. But the hunters eventually caught up to them, and began ramming them, and trying to capture them with their chain guns.
It was a wild ride especially when they caught the attention of an Ice Dragon. They flew into a canyon with many rocks, and Faith managed to chain up the dragon with her gun. But Jet Jack managed to climb onto Cole and Teen Wu's speeder.
She tried to take control of the speeder, but Teen Wu activated her jet pack, and sent her flying. "Nice going, Master." complimented Cole. When Jet Jack landed on the ground, she pulled out a tiny machine.
"Is it done, Jet Jack?" asked Iron Baron, over her walkie talkie. "It is." she answered. Jet Jack had planted a tracking device on their speeder, and now they could track them wherever they went.
When night fell, the Ninja, Teen Wu, and Faith came to a stop in the desert, where stone pillars stood with dragon skulls on top of them. "Okay, this is creepy." said Jay. "You're sure the armor's this way?" Faith asked Teen Wu.
"Before you answer that Master, think about it." Cole whispered to him. Teen Wu walked forward a little bit. "Yes, we have to keep going." he told the others. "I don't like the sound of that." said Faith.
Even though Kai didn't want the answer, he asked the question. "Why?" "These pikes and skulls represent the border between our side of the realm, and the Oni's side. But we need that armor." Faith explained.
"Well do we absolutely need it?" asked Cole. "Cole, getting the armor, and gaining the trust of the Firstbourne is the only way to get home." said Zane. "How bad are the Oni?" asked Teen Wu.
"I'll just say that once Iron Baron and his hunters crossed into their land to retrieve the Dragon Blade, and only he returned. Oni are destructive creatures who use evil magic. Are you positive that's where the armor is?"
"I...think it may be." Teen Wu. "Then we're going." said Faith, getting into her speeder. "I hope you know what you're doing, Master." Cole told Teen Wu, as they got into the speeders as well.
It was night in Ninjago, and Hutchins was still looking for Lord Garmadon at the palace. "My Lord, are you here?" he called. He heard a noise behind him, and quickly was prepared to attack, but calmed down when he saw it was Lord Garmadon.
"My Lord, are you okay?" he asked. "I hesitated, I could've finished him off, but I hesitated. You only summoned the Oni part of myself. The destructive part." Lord Garmadon told him. "But Garmadon, children are born in whole not sides." Hutchins told him.
"There's a darkness in the Realm of the Departed that scares even me. If I'm to keep them away I have to be better." "Keep them away?" asked Hutchins confused. "In order to reach my true potential, I have to destroy the one thing that truly stands in my way. My son."
"And you will destroy him." "But how can I?" "You already have a family, myself and the rest of the Sons of Garmadon." said Hutchins, bowing down to him. Lord Garmadon faced him, and then smiled evilly.
"Then stand my child." he told him, and Hutchins did. "What is your command, Father?" "Find my son, so we can finish him off once and for all." said Lord Garmadon.
Meanwhile in the First Realm, the Ninja, Teen Wu, and Faith traveled further into the Oni territory. They stopped at a large rock wall, and cautiously got out. "You know if these Oni can shapeshift how will we know when we see one?" wondered Jay.
"Be quiet, Jay." said Kai. He then used his fire powers to light up the dark night. In front of them was a statue of an Oni and below it was an old gate. "It's open." Faith observed, as she walked forward.
They all went through the gate and looked around. Everyone was covered in vines and looked broken down. "Gee, these Oni don't seem to care about their environment." said Jay. "This place looks deserted." added Kai.
"Whoever these Oni are, it doesn't look like they've been here for a long time." informed Zane. Faith growled. "That man, everything he said was a lie." she said. Cole gave a knowing look at Teen Wu.
"What's wrong, Faith?" asked Kai. "Iron Baron said that Oni roamed this part of the realm, but they're not even here. He lied to us for years." she explained. "But where could they have gone?" asked Jay.
Feeling angry and betrayed, Faith yelled, and threw her hat and mask on the ground. "He fed off your fear." Kai told her. "For many years he made us his slaves. How couldn't I see it." she said.
Then she faced Teen Wu. "Is the Dragon Armor even real?" Cole nudged Teen Wu. "Well...I'm not sure." he replied. "Not sure, not sure!? Do you know what I sacrificed to get us here. If we can't leave this realm, and Iron Baron finds us...(growls)."
Faith threw her mask against a wall, where it broke. "Why'd you lie?" she demanded. "In a dream my father said to have faith, and then you came. But I still believe we can find it." Teen Wu explained.
Frustrated, Faith had a tantrum which involved yelling, screaming, and hitting the wall. "You did the right thing, Master." Cole told Teen Wu. "Yeah, and even if we can't get home we can stay here." added Jay.
"Too bad the armor's not real. It could've really help." said Kai. "Yeah." agreed Zane. Suddenly something caught Teen Wu's eye. "Look at that." he said, pointing to the gate which Faith was pounding.
"Yeah, Faith's just letting it all out. Who knows how long she's help this anger in." said Jay. "I'm not talking about Faith, I mean the gate." said Teen Wu, he went over, closed one side, and then the other side, as Faith stepped back.
Everyone looked at the other side of the gate, and on it were a metal picture. And one picture was a picture of a dragon and some type of armor. "The armor's real." said Cole. "And it's in the Firstbourne's nest." said Faith amazed.
"We've got our faith, and now we've got a map." said Teen Wu. Everyone was now happy.
In Ninjago the Sons of Garmadon were searching the slums. "Guys, the Sons of Garmadon are sweeping the streets, and Hutchins in with them." warned Dareth. "We better get out of here." said Nya.
Everyone got ready to leave, but Lloyd spoke up. "Stop, we're not running anymore. We need to fight back." he told the others. "What did you have in mind?" asked Mistake. Outside, the Sons and Garmadon had cornered a man and his young daughter.
"Where's the Green Ninja?" interrogated Killow. The man didn't say anything. "Make him talk." ordered Hutchins. The members were about to get the two, but someone whistled loudly. They looked up, and on a rooftop was the Green Ninja.
He jumped down, and ran down the alley. "After him." Hutchins commanded. They did, and the Green Ninja kept running, dodging, and eventually jumped into a boat floating in the canal. The members went after, and it was like playing hopscotch except with boats.
When Killow jumped into a boat, the driver led the boat in a different direction. "Hey, how are you controlling the boat?" he asked. The driver showed their face to reveal Nya. "Oh, I do things my own way." she told him.
A few other members chased the Green Ninja into an alley that led to a dead end, but the Green Ninja was gone and a rat scurried into the trash. "What the...?" asked a member. Then in a flash, the rat turned into Mistake.
"Surprised to see me?" she asked the two. The members looked up, and Skylor and Harumi were there and then jumped down and fought them off with a sword, mace, and trash lid. "You're getting better with your fighting, young princess." complimented Mistake.
"Thanks." said Harumi. Hutchins was running down the alley, looking for the Green Ninja, but then saw that Mistake, Harumi, and Skylor was coming towards him. He tried to run, but someone started talking to him.
"A person who isn't capable of change can't change anything." they told him. The person took off his hat, and revealed himself as Lloyd. "Lloyd Garmadon. Long time no see." Hutchins told him. "Since you took my friends and allies, I took yours." Lloyd turned him.
Hutchins looked around, and saw the members of the Resistance were surrounding him. "Nervous, Hutchins. You should be." Harumi told him.
