Kai: Just answer the question!
No. Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 5 episode 4
Weapons of destiny
Cole's POV
We finally made it to the fire temple and ran to the top of the steps.
"Kai! Alex! Sensei!" I yelled, but there was no answer.
"The sword of fire was here, as well as our friends, but I only sense loss," Zane said and I turned to him, he had taken his ninja mask off. "The elemental weapons have left this realm and are now in the underworld. The end is drawing near." I sat down on a step and flipped my hood off.
"Ugh! Great the one place no mortal can crossover," I said.
"We might not be able to crossover," I heard Kai say. The fire temple was opening and I flipped out of the way. Jay did the same and I noticed he had his hood off to.
"But a dragon can!" Alex finished. Kai, Alex, and some other girl were sitting on a roaring dragon. I shrieked and jumped behind the temple doors. It just had to be a dragon.
Alex's POV
I laughed when Cole shrieked like a little girl. Honestly, dragons aren't that bad.
"Our father used to tell us stories about the dragons. How they were mystical creatures that belonged to both worlds and ferried between them," Nya said. She was pretty smart. I noticed Jay was staring at her. Loverboy.
"Oo, ah, Are you insane?!" Cole said. His voice was high-pitched and scared. I laughed as I jumped off of the dragon.
"Once he realized we were trying to protect the sword
of fire, he actually became quite a softy," Kai said and I smiled as the dragon nudged Kai with his head. "Ha, ha, Knock it off." Nya laughed and so did I.
"Hmmm. Should I faint like you did when I befriended my dragon or just stand here?" I asked sarcastically and laughed.
"You fainted?" Nya asked. Kai face palmed and I laughed harder.
"Uoikblu?" Jay asked her and coughed. I couldn't understand him.
"He cannot talk, but he wants to know if you like blue," Zane said. I gave him a look that said 'How come he can't talk?'. He shook his head to show that he'd tell me later.
"It's my favorite color," Nya answered him.
"Yes!" Jay said slowly. Nya hoped off the dragon and Kai flipped his ninja mask turning to her.
"Nya," Kai said.
"This is goodbye isn't it?" she asked and Kai nodded. I felt a strong urge to interrupt, but I ignored it. I know how I felt when I left my brother. "Come back to me in one piece ok? I don't want to run the shop on my own."
"I promise I won't be gone for long," Kai said as he jumped onto his dragon. I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
"I'll keep a candle lit outside our shop until you return," Nya said. Jay and Zane jumped on the dragon with Kai.
"Uh, you guys go on ahead. There's not enough room for everyone on that thing," Cole said and I knew the dragon got offended.
"Baby," I muttered and Jay tried to snicker.
"You're right Cole, but I've got a way to fix that," Kai said and I hoped behind Zane after managing to drag Cole on it. We took off and I remembered something.
"Hey Nya!" I yelled.
"Yeah?!"She yelled back.
"I'm Alex!" I yelled and she waved a greeting and a goodbye. Cole was literally clinging to me. "Man this guy sure is scared of dragons," I thought. I got a big headache an grabbed my head with one hand.
"Hey, you ok?" Cole asked. I could hardly hear him.
"Don't get to attached girl!" Garmadon yelled in my head.
"Why can't you just leave me alone!" I shouted in my head.
"I have my reasons," he replied and I gritted my teeth.
"At least let me see what you look like!" I yelled.
"Very well," he said and this time I didn't see a shadow. I saw a man who was all black and I mean pitch black. He had a helmet with a bone on top of it. "Now go and do your duty! And don't forget, I'm watching you!" He disappeared and when I opened my eyes the guys were looking at me worriedly and I saw that we were at the caves of despair. Great more room on the dragon!
Time break
Cole was screaming and hanging onto the poll that was connected to his saddle. You'd think that would be scarier than riding the dragon.
"Easy, not so fast," I heard him say. I laughed and so did Ashes (My dragon). All of our dragons were diving in and out of the clouds.
"Woah! This is awesome!" Jay yelled. The thin atmosphere had temporarily fixed his voice. Surprisingly none of us were having trouble breathing.
"This is quite fun," Zane agreed. All of our dragons were side by side.
"So how do the dragons crossover to the underworld?" Cole asked.
"I think we're about to find OOOUUUTTTT! Ahhh!" Kai said as our dragons dove down at an insanely fast rate. They started spinning super fast. There was a dark flash. I looked over and saw Cole had his eyes shut. We were going through a cave with a ton of crystals.
"Is it over?" Cole asked.
"Hardly, I hope these dragons know what they're doing!" Kai said as the dragons split up. Cole and Kai went down one tunnel, Jay and Zane in another, and I went down the last tunnel by myself. The dragons were dodging rock spires, flames, and the crystals. "They're speeding up! Hold on!" Kai said and that's exactly what I did. I held on for dear life as they went through a wall. Everything was black and I prayed for it to end. When it did everyone, but me was thrown off their dragons. I hopped off mine and heard Cole say,
"Solid ground! We made it!"
"Sensei's inside," Zane said. The underworld was not what I expected to look like, but it was still just as dark.
"They're expecting us," Kai said.
"No duh!" I said and he shot me a brief glare. We starts swinging from stalactite to stalactite. Kai grabbed one and a small part of it fell and it one of the skeletons. I silently laughed at it. Jay was trying to get everyone's attention, but he couldn't talk. I just ignored him.
"Can I be the first to say it's been an absolute pleasure since Jay lost his voice," Cole said and I nodded in agreement. Then I started hearing a wired noise above me and we all looked up. We were hanging from huge spider legs! We all let go and fell. Everyone els landed on the stomachs and backs while I did a flip in the air and landed on my feet.
"Uh, if there are more than one ninja is it ninjas of just ninja?" Nuckle asked.
"I think it's just ninja," Kruncha said.
"Oh, ok then NINJA!" Nuckle yelled and the skeletons advanced on us. The others quickly got up and we went back to back taking out our weapons.
"I count 10 boneheads to every one of us. I think I like these odds," Cole said. The spiders were coming down now.
"You just had to jinx it didn't you?" I said and Cole shot me a glare which I returned only fierser.
"Uh oh. Anyone got any bright ideas?" Kai asked. My mind went to my powers again. What would they think if I used them. How would they take it. What would they think of me? A few minutes had passed by and no one had any other ideas. I was so close to choosing to use my powers. "Any ideas? I'm still all ears!" Kai swung his sword at a skeleton that dodged his attack. Jay attempted to say something again, but it only sounded like a mumbles long breath. "Huh?"
"You feel a weird sensation?" Cole said questioningly.
"No," Jay croaked out.
"You ate an odd crustation?" Zane guessed. Jay tried to repeat what he said again and I still only sounded like a scratchy breath.
"He's saying something something creation," I said I managed to make out the last word.
"Oo! Oo! I got it! Two natives on vacation!" Kai's said and I face palmed while Jay scratchily sighed.
"Tornado of Creation!" Jay yelled and got his voice back. Everyone said oh.
"I told you it had creation in it!" I said.
"Welcome back," Zane said and patted Jay on the back. I took a dagger and sliced a skeleton in half. Not that that had much of an effect.
"But it could lead to disastrous consequences!" Cole said as the skeletons and spiders got even closer.
"We're about to have a disastrous consequence!" Kai said.
"Let's do this!" Cole said. "Earth!" He did spinjitzue.
"Yeah!" I said excitedly.
"Fire!"
"Ice!"
"Lightning!"
"Light!" I did my spinjitzue.
"NINJA-GO!" we all yelled in unison. Our tornados came together and made a huge white tornado. I wasn't sure what happened exactly, just that when we were done there was a fairs wheel with caged skeletons on it.
"Come on there's no time to waste!" Kai said and started running. We followed and I grabbed some cotton candy on the way. When we reached Sensei he was fighting Samukai. Sensei had the sword of fire and Samukai had the other weapons, including my daggers. I was mad, really mad. Me and the others were about to help Sensei, but Kai stopped us. "No, this is Sensei's fight." I was gonna argue, but I knew he was right. So I nibbled on some cotton candy. Sensei shot some fire at Samukai. Samukai froze the sword of fire and shot lightning at Sensei. Then he used the scythe of quakes and to split the floating rock they were on. Kai saw me and Jay eating cotton candy and elbowed us to try to get us to stop. I continued eating it to make him mad. My daggers suddenly stopped working for Samukai and wouldn't shoot any light bolts at Sensei. Samukai improvised and shot lightning at Sensei instead. Sensei blocked it with the sword of fire and jumped into the air to avoid another one. However, Sensei got hit with lightning in the air and fell to the ground, the sword of fire flying out of his grasp. Samukai picked up the sword of fire laughing. My daggers flew around him like birds. (That's what they've been doing during the fight) Sensei sat up and gasped.
"Bring me the five weapons," Garmadon commanded Samukai. Samukai looked at the sword of fire and picked it up.
"No! You will obey me now!" Samukai said turning to Garmadon. Garmadon started laughing evilly and Sensei joined us at the entrance to the throne room that we were in.
"No one can handle all of their power at once," Sensei said as the weapons started to move back and forth.
"Selfish fool! Did you think I would not plan on your betrayal!" Garmadon said.
"What's happening to me!" Samukai said as the weapons began to rapidly move and shake, even the flying daggers.
"You've fallen right into my master plan! Even I cannot handle all of their power at once! But now that they have been combined it will make a vortex through space and time! Allowing me to escape this ghastly place," Garmadon explained and Sensei looked shocked.
"Uh oh," Samukai said and he was lifted up in the air by the weapons. There was a flash and Samukai was turned to dust. The weapons hit the ground before a bright blue vortex opened up and Garmadon was standing in front it and about to go in it.
"Father would not want you to do this brother!" Sensei said.
"Father is no longer here!" Garmadon snapped turning to face us. The flashes of light were making everyone cover their eyes, but the flashes didn't affect me. "Good and evil! There has alway been a balance. Where I go the balance can be destroyed!" My eyes widened.
"You're crazy! There will always be a balance! No one can change or break it!" I yelled I was seething with anger and fear. What would happen to me if the balance were destroyed?
"Oh, that's where you're wrong, dear Alex, the balance can be destroyed. When it is you shall be on my side 100%!" Garmadon said. My eyes got even bigger. If he destroyed the balance then I would turn to her forever! I took a step back in surprise and fear. "Soon I will be strong enough to posses the five weapons and I shall recreate Ninjago in my own image!" He pointed towards Wu. "You. You were always his favorite." He walked into the vortex and I closed behind him. Everyone flipped onto the platform the weapons were on.
"He is gone, but he will return," Sensei said.
"And we'll be ready for him," Kai said after picking up his sword. We all picked up our weapons and my daggers turned from silver back to their yellow/gold color
"And keep an eye out encase he has anymore of his evil plans," Cole said.
"Yeah!" I said. This ninja stuff is fun.
"Then I have done my part. The balance has been restored, for now," Sensei said.
"Oh yeah! Alex why did you freak out when he said the balance can be destroyed?" Cole asked.
"And how did he know your name?" Jay asked.
"Yeah, he knew your name in the fire temple to," Kai said.
"Not to mention your strange behavior around all the dragons," Zane joined in.
"Great! How am I going to explain all that without revealing my secret!" I thought frustrated.
"You could just say that you've had a few run ins with Garmadons shadow and the world would be in chaos without balance," Sparky thought back.
"Thanks Sparky! I owe you one!" I thought and turned to the guys.
"I'll keep that in mind," Sparky thought.
"I've had a few run ins with Garmodons shadow. Cole, The world would be in chaos without balance," I said simply and shifted uncomfortably at all the eyes staring at me.
"How many run ins?" Cole asked.
"Two. Each time he tried to get me to join him, but I refused. I didn't leave without some scratches though," I answered and pulled back my sleeve to reveal a lightning strike shaped scar.
"Ow," Kai said and I pulled my sleeve back down, noticing the purple on it had grown ever so slightly.
"Whatever. Can we go home now?" I asked. They nodded and we headed to the dragons.
Time Break
We lande outside Four Weapons nad Nya came running out. The dark clouds that had filled the sky were gone and the sun was shining again. It felt good, but what Garmadon said still rang through my head. 'and then you shall be on my side 100%'. Would that really happen? Can he really destroy the balance? My thoughts were interrupted by Jay.
"My turn!" He yelled and got hugged by Nya. Kai and me smiled and I hopped off Ashes. The villagers were cheering for us.
"I'm so happy you're back!" Nya said as we gathered together.
"For now, but it's not over. Lord Garmadon will return," Kai said. I shuddered and the crowd stopped cheering.
"And we'll be ready for him!" Cole said and the crowd started cheering again.
"Yeah!" me and Jay shouted in unison. We all took out our weapons and put them together like a sharp high-five. That was a mistake. We all got blown back and landed on our butts, including Nya. Kai laughed as he sat up.
"Ok, we've got to remember not to do that again," Kai said. We all got up and got in a circle again.
"Good idea," Cole said.
"Yeah we'll stick to high-fives instead," Jay said.
"Agreed," My and Zane said at the same time. We all started laughing.
"Was that a joke?" Zane asked and that just made me laugh even harder. Kai turned around looked at the villagers and flipped his mask on. I did the same. Peace had returned to ninjago, but I knew the day would come when I would be forced to complete my mission. I hoped it wasn't anytime soon.
Jay: Come on! At least tell us why you make her slap me!
That's easy! You're annoying, so she slaps you when you get really annoying or when you screw up. So I suggest you get an icepack for future chapters.
Jay: Seriously! Great now I'm gonna get a hurt or broken cheek. I'll probably have to go to the hospital and my parents will come. Then I'll be stuck in a room where they won't stop talking and I won't be able to tell them to be quiet. Not to mention-
Alex: *Slaps Jay* Shut Up Already!
Jay: Ow!
Ha-Ha! I told you so!
Kai: Yeah, well you still haven't told us why you make her slap me so much.
That will be revealed in the story later on.
Alex: How far later on?
That is information I cannot divulge.
Jay: What?
Alex: It means she won't tell us.
Jay: Right, ha ha, I knew that.
Kai: No you didn't.
Jay: Shut up.
Kai: You Shut up!
Jay: No you shut up! *Starts fighting each other*
Alex: Guys! Stop Fighting each other!
Kai: Make us!
Alex: Oh I will! *Joins the fight*
*Laughing my head off* Re-Ha-view! Give me five-ha!-reviews so I can-ha!-get out of these ropes! Ha ha ha ha! *Can't stop laughing*
Lightfeather5632: How about scissors instead? *holds up scissors and then cuts my ropes.
Thanks!
Lightfeather5632: No problem *smiles*
*Looks at Alex, Jay, and Kai. Alex has Kai and Jay tied up with duck tape over their mouths. I shake with laughter and so does lightfeather.
Bluegirl8: Hi!
Woah! Where'd you come from?
Bluegirl8: Your review box. Here *throws me a watch*
*Catches Watch* Sweet! *clicks button and Alex gets sucked into the watch.
dixicorn: Cool!
Thanks! I designed it for these exact purposes.
Kai & Jay: *Try to talk but can't because of the tape over their mouths.
dixicorn: Should we untie them?
Nah! Lets see how they like being tied up. *Stomach growls* you reviewers want to get some lunch?
all three reviewers: Sure!
Review people! *Walks out of basement with others, leaving the struggling Kai and Jay*
