A/N: Hello there! Uh… um…Kai threw Jay and Cole overboard…. Technically they were asking for it…yeah. Uh. On to the story!
Disclaimer: I own Nothing! Except for any OC name drops that might happen! Also, what Jay and Cole did would be a read RandomDragon's last review… then tell me if you have that song stuck in your head.
Chapter Ten: The Temple of Light
"Kai…next time tell us that we were being annoying!" Jay groaned as he pulled his thick, blue, fluffy towel tighter around himself.
Cole nodded in agreement as he shivered in his towel, water dripping into his eyes. "Yeah, I agree with Jay. That would be better than you pushing us overboard."
Zane coughed into his hand as he handed over a steaming mug of hot chocolate to the freezing wet black ninja. "You wouldn't have gone overboard if you had not encouraged Jay."
Cole grumbled under his breath, having been enjoying himself until I had pushed him over the edge of the ship into the water below. Nya was sitting at the table across from the soaked ninja, working on blueprints for something. Dr. Julian was helping her, whispering in low tones. Lloyd was over by the stove explaining to Misako and Sensei what had happened to our two brothers. Misako was clearly bewildered by my, interesting way of dealing with those two, while Sensei was chuckling softly to himself. Moving suddenly, Sensei walked over to where I was sitting near the soaked ninja. "Well? I heard that you, uh, decided that two of your brothers needed to take a swim."
I burrowed my head into my arms, groaning with embarrassment. "I lost it. They wouldn't stop singing. Two hours of listening to whatever that was…I snapped. I'm really sorry Sensei."
A hand landed on top of my head, Sensei's chuckling filling my ears. "Kai…I am not mad at you. I actually find the situation a bit on the funny. Remember, I had a brother growing up." I lifted up my head to look at him, puzzled by what he meant by that. "Garmadon and I have pushed each other into the sea while fishing with Father plenty of times."
"Wait! You pushed Garmadon into the sea?!" Jay cried out in surprise.
Sensei smiled as he stroke his beard. "I was young and foolish back then. Just make sure you don't do that again."
Misako cleared her throat, still looking worried about what I had done earlier, drawing our attention to her. "We have arrived at the Island of Darkness."
"Right. Lloyd, you stay here till the others get back. We do not want to start the final battle early by having you ran into your father. Ninja, remain stealthy at all times. We have the advantage of surprise here and I will not have it taken from us." Sensei warned and lectured us as he led us to the beach of the Island of Darkness.
Nya stepped forward, excitement dancing in her eyes. "While you are gone, Dr. Julian and I will be working on new vehicles for Cole and Kai."
We nodded to let her know we heard, and then leapt off the ship, landing on the sandy beach. Time for us to save all of Ninjago…again.
…
I hissed quietly as Zane broke away from the rest of us, sneaking into the tent the Stone Army was holding Falcon. Cole made strangling motions with his hands, before charging after him. Jay bit his bottom lip, uncertain about what to do in this situation. I placed a hand on his shoulder holding him back, just as the Stone Army spotted Zane and attacked. Cole quickly knocked a couple over, grabbing Zane as he bolted towards us.
"Back to the ship! Now!" I nodded in affirmation of Cole's command, and grabbing Jay's hand bolted for it, dragging the blue ninja behind me.
…
I flicked the switch that turned on my new giant robot mech on. Cole and the others, including Lloyd, were sitting inside of his new Power Drill, which was rumbling to life. Looking up to where Nya was standing next to Dr. Julian, I forced a smile out. "We'll be back…this time with new powers."
Jay yelped as he held up the small medallion that Misako had given him. "Top of that Mountain! I can see it when I hold the medallion up like this!"
I nodded as I thrusted my robot forward. "On it!"
…
"Whoa! This is amazing! Ooh, look! It's us!" Jay squealed loudly as he pointed to a picture of us battling the Great Devourer.
A small gasp escaped me as I looked at the walls of the Temple of Light. As Jay had pointed out, the walls were filled with pictures of us, from when we first met Sensei, to now standing in the temple. Lloyd walked past as he noticed a large bell hanging from the ceiling. Underneath the bell were all of our elements symbols neatly sketched out on the floor. Lloyd looked to the ground, before lifting his eyes up to stare at the bell. "I think I'm supposed to ring it."
Cole stepped in front of one of the pillars, eyebrow arching upwards. "What are you waiting for then? Ring it!"
Lloyd reached up and quickly rang the bell. Immediately, a bright light shone on him, pinpricks of the light shooting everywhere. One of the lights hit the pillar that I was standing in front of. Warmth quickly filled me as something cool and metal appeared in my hand. As the light died down, I looked down to see that a sword hilt was in my hand. It appeared to have been designed to look like a dragon's head. My gi had also changed. It looked the same as before, except that it was black with red and gold trimmings used for the details. Noticing a small button on the side of the hilt, I pushed it. Quickly, a blade of fire shot out, the heat nearly suffocating me. I glanced up to see that the transformation had apparently happened to my brothers, all of them holding a hilt with a blade made out of their respective elements. Zane glanced at Lloyd, a small frown on his face. "I sense that we need to point our new weapons at Lloyd. I just hope that it won't hurt him." I gave a jerkish nod in his direction, pointing my new weapon at Lloyd. Within seconds we all had our weapons pointed at our youngest family member. Our elements shot forward, slamming into him. A golden glow seemed to flare up around him, making it hard to see him due to brightness.
I was about to ask if we should lower our weapons when something slammed into me, throwing me across the room into a wall. Dazed, I slowly came to, my head pounding from meeting the wall. The Stone Army was flooding the room, attacking us from behind, left and right. Scrambling to my feet, I quickly pointed my new weapon at a group of Stone Warriors. Immediately, a ring of fire surrounded them. Grinning, I leapt forward and tackled the trapped warriors to the ground. The scuffle didn't last as long as I had expected, since Lloyd suddenly started glowing again, lifting up in the air. With a thunderous roar, he turned into a golden dragon.
Dropping to the ground, Lloyd dropped the dragon aura revealing that his outfit has now changed. For the most part was like ours, except that his headpiece and shoulder pads had also changed colors. Instead of being silver gray in color, they were gold now. "Come on. We better get back to the Bounty before they come back with backup."
I numbly nodded in agreement, even as I stumbled out the temple's door. A pair of cold hands seized me, preventing me from falling down the steps. "Kai…I think you hit your head a bit too hard back there." Zane's voice filtered through, only it sounded too loud. Groaning, I buried my head into his shoulder trying to ease the pain in my head.
Next thing that I knew, I was waking up in my bed, Sensei sitting on the edge. A warm smile flashed across his face. "Ah. You're awake now. Do you need anything?"
I shook my head, and immediately regretted it as my head throbbed angrily at me. "I'm fine. What exactly happened?"
Sensei chuckled, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Apparently the only reason why you didn't pass out from your head injury was because of the adrenaline rush you were in. Once that was over with, you passed out on top of Zane. He carried you back to the ship himself."
"Wonderful." I groaned as I grab my pillow, pulling it over my face.
"You really scared your brothers and Nya there. From what Nya told us, she suspected something like that was going to happen when she tried contacting you and, uh, she said your mind felt funny. Apparently last time it felt funny was when you had been compromised by the Venomari venom. Are you alright there?" Sensei gently pulled my pillow away from my face so as to see me.
I grimaced as I pushed myself up into a sitting position. "Besides the fact I feel like my head is about to explode? I'm totally fine."
"Good! I don't ever wanna deal with Nya while you're out of it again!" Cole suddenly stuck is head into the room, looking a smidgen terrified.
Sensei promptly rubbed his chin, worry flashing across his face. "Ah yes. I forgot about that. You best go stop her from terrorizing the others about your health."
I stared at them for ten seconds…before quickly diving back under the covers, ignoring how my head exploded upon the quick movement. "Nope! I am not dealing with her! No way! You can't make me!" Sensei and Cole both burst out laughing at my reaction to that.
We're stronger now, and Garmadon better watch out. We're coming for him next…right after I get over this concussion.
A/N: Done! Hey…I'm back on schedule now! Yes! Poor Kai. He just had to pass out. Also, Nya is mad at the others for not protecting Kai better when they were ambushed. Oopsie on their part.
