No P.O.V.
Sensei Wu sat in his room, quietly meditating before his spirit smoke. He saw the ninja fighting the Serpentine and doing well, but the next image troubled him. It showed himself confronting Pythor in an unknown location. There was a loud cry and out of the ground shot a gigantic snake, hissing as it darted forward to strike.
Gasping, Sensei Wu shot up. He could see nothing more, and decided to take a small risk. He picked up a scroll and found Diane in her room, quietly reading. "Diane?"
"Yes, Sensei?" Diane said, putting down her book.
"I have something for you." Sensei Wu handed her the scroll. "Do not open it until there is no hope left."
Diane nodded, slightly confused. "Of course." Sensei Wu left the room, and Diane went back to her book.
Elsewhere...
"Why does Torchfire Mountain have to be the only place the fang blades can be destroyed?" Nya asked.
"Because they're the Great Devourer's teeth. So strong, they only break down in extreme heat." Kai told her.
"Then why was one put in the Fire Temple? Seemed to last pretty long there." Annabella pointed out, and the others in the room shrugged.
"Hey, can someone pass the salt?" Jay asked. The ship lurched in response, causing the salt to slide towards him. "Thanks."
The screen door opened, revealing Cole, who looked a bit green. "Please, no one talk about food right now." The ship shook again, and Cole barely steadied himself. "How much longer is it going to take to get there?"
"Not very long. You look a little green, Cole. How about a mucus salt sandwich?" Jay said. Cole covered his mouth again and ran for the bathroom.
"Hey, wait up!" Emera came up behind. "Please don't do that." She growled before going after Cole.
Jay chuckled. "Speaking of being green, who would've thought Lloyd would become the Green Ninja?"
Annabella shrugged. "Hey, where is he anyway?"
"Amelia volunteered to train him. He's probably with her in the training room." Nya answered.
With Lloyd and Amelia...
Turning on the course, Lloyd began speaking in an odd voice. "Serpentine, it's time I Spinjitzu you back into the hole you came from." He promptly tried to navigate the course only to epically fail and fall onto his back.
"Well, you went five seconds before falling." Amelia said, stopping her watch. "Record. Lloyd, how about we start with the basics first?"
"Come on, Amelia! I'm," Lloyd started.
"The Green Ninja, best ninja, I get that." Amelia said, cutting him off. "But everyone has to start as a beginner."
"Hmm... She's right, little boy." Pythor appeared. "Clearly, she's much smarter."
Amelia whipped out her knives. "What are you doing here?" She hissed.
"Did either of you really think I would let the ninja steal the fang blades from me?" Pythor said mockingly. He grabbed Amelia by the throat, choking her.
"Amelia!" Lloyd tried to hit Pythor, but he just rolled his eyes, using his tail to pin Lloyd to the ground while he tied and gagged Amelia to one of the course obstacles, and then Lloyd to one.
"Now, don't worry about me. As they say..." Pythor grinned. "Out of sight, out of mind." He disappeared, leaving the two in the room.
Squirming, Amelia tried to grab one of her knives, but her boot was out of reach. She put it in front of Lloyd, who managed to get it out, beginning to saw at his ropes.
Elsewhere... Again...
The Bounty pulled in just above Torchfire Mountain. Over the intercom, Nya announced, "We've reached Torchfire Mountain."
"Man, it's boiling." Jay muttered.
"Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." Kai joked.
"Hey, what's wrong with Sensei Wu?" Cole asked.
"He has been distant all morning." Zane replied, worried.
Sensei Wu was on the deck, looking into the heart of the volcano. He sighed. "Ah. It is beautiful, is it not?"
"Sensei, we are ready to destroy the fang blades. But... you seem uninterested." Zane said, concerned.
"You do not need my approval for the task." Sensei Wu said, dismissive.
"But Sensei," Jay began.
"Butts are for sitting. Besides, one day you will have to go on without me." Sensei Wu pointed out.
"Sensei, you're talking crazy. You've been alive... for like, ever." Kai said, only to get hit by Cole."
"What Kai is trying to say is, you are like the sunrise. We cannot begin our day without you." Zane amended.
"But even the sun must set, so the next day comes." Sensei Wu reminded.
"Okay, enough with the metaphors. What's going on, Sensei? Are you going to leave us again?" Cole insisted.
"In my meditations, no visions have come. And I cannot see tomorrow, a great worry of mine." Sensei Wu explained.
"It could be a good omen, right? We get rid of the fang blades, and everything's fine!" Jay said, hopeful.
"Let's just destroy the fang blades, so we don't have to worry." Sensei Wu told him.
Each ninja holding a fang blade, a plank was set out for walking to the volcano. From the control room, the girls watched. "Anyone else think plank + ninja = DEATH?!" Annabella grumbled.
"Hey, guys?" Emera pointed to the screen, where a room showed the door opening by itself.
"Ghost?" Nya said, confused.
"I do not think so. We should check it." Diane insisted.
As it turned out, they were unable to, as Pythor reappeared in the gear room, using a hammer to destroy the systems. The ship began to spasm, and Nya tried to keep it upright but the wheel became jammed. "We're losing control!" She shouted.
On the deck, everyone began sliding off. The ninja were stopped by the railing, but Sensei Wu slid down the plank and barely caught the end. Immediately the ninja dropped their fang blade and rushed to help him. Unfortunately, Sensei Wu lost his grip, and the ninja were forced to dive after him. "Nya! What in the world is going on?!" Kai yelled.
Nya and Diane began typing as fast as they could on the keyboard. "Something's overridden the system!" Nya shouted.
Finally, in the training room, Lloyd cut off his ropes and after quickly freeing Amelia, ripped the duct tape off his mouth. "Pythor's here!" He shouted into the intercom.
"Ah bloody mother fucking shit!" Annabella cursed, gaining weird looks. "I learned to curse in the facility. This is an appropriate time."
Out on the deck Pythor chuckled, holding the fang blades. "Sorry if I don't lend a hand." He said mockingly to the ninja. "But I'm really quite busy, whole Devourer thing." He turned, laughing, only to be facing Lloyd.
"You're not going anywhere." Lloyd said.
"Little bit cliché, don't you think?" Pythor said.
"Huh?" Lloyd looked at him, confused.
"I wouldn't expect a child," Pythor didn't get further, as Amelia head kicked him.
"Nice job distracting." Amelia told him. "Hand over the fang blades, now."
"What, you think two children can stop me?" Pythor asked.
"I think two ninja, an expert knife thrower, and a kid can stop you." Emera answered, joining them with Annabella.
"Well, perhaps you should be a bit more concerned with your friends. Besides, I have a ride to catch." Pythor jumped off the ship, and a Serpentine helicopter caught him. "So long, losers!"
Ignoring him, Annabella ran over to the plank. "Next time, just throw them in!" She barked, grabbing Kai's feet and dragging everyone back on board.
"Thanks." Kai muttered.
"Come on, Pythor's getting away!" Nya said, turning on the ship's engines.
The Bounty, however, proved too slow, so the ninja got out their weapons, leaving Amelia and Lloyd behind, since Sensei Wu had insisted on being with them. They soon began to catch up to the Serpentine, who had taken control of a bullet train. However, the Fangpyre bit the truck, and it soon became a snake itself.
"Well, this just got harder." Emera muttered, and she was right, as the train not only gained a tail for trying to stomp the ninja on the ground, but also guns to shoot at Nya and Jay.
"We've got company!" Jay shouted.
The ninja got rid of the Serpentine, but they kept coming. "Any ideas?" Annabella said.
"Wait, I got it!" Nya replied. "Jay, follow me. Zane, get in close!"
While Nya and Jay took the Serpentine's attention, Zane managed to get in close and unlatch the tail from the rest of the truck. But as they edged closer, the truck took off even faster. They still managed to get on, and steadied themselves. "Last one to the front is a rotten ninja!" Kai yelled, and everyone split up.
Jay and Nya went down, shouting, "Ninja-go!" The snakes in the cabin flew out the windows, and they went forward.
Kai, Annabella, and Sensei Wu stayed outside, but were still met with Serpentine. One flew off, and the other was able to throw Kai off balance and he clung to the train. Quickly, Annabella used her water to knock the Serpentine off and helped Kai back up.
Back inside, Zane froze every Serpentine in his path and Diane managed to harness some plants by the windows. Cole and Emera made it to the front first, only to be stopped by Skales. "End of the line, ssssuckerssss." Skales hissed.
Rather than fight, Cole transformed his golden weapon (thankfully, Emera was unharmed as it transported her into the backseat). "No, no, pleasssse!" Skales begged, but Cole still used one of the tank's weapons to blast him out of the truck.
"Bit harsh." Emera pointed out when Cole de-transformed his weapon.
"They've been harsh to us." Cole responded. A skylight was opened, and Annabella, Kai, and Sensei Wu dropped through. The others came through the door, joining them.
"Good to see you are all alright." Sensei Wu told them.
"And it is good to see you, as well." Diane said.
"Okay, we're all together. Who wants a crack at Pythor first?" Kai asked.
Sensei Wu dashed forward, disconnecting the two cars. "Sensei!" Nya shouted.
"What are you doing?" Cole yelled.
"My destiny is to face Pythor alone. Yours is to look after Lloyd and train him." Sensei Wu answered.
"Ugh, this is getting to be a habit!" Kai growled. "How do we get off this thing?!"
Inside the driver's room, Pythor chuckled, seeing the other car being left behind. He didn't expect to see Sensei Wu come in. "This ends now!"
"As you wish!" Pythor said, using his staff to fight.
Back with the ninja...
Everyone sat there, clearly bored, when the Bounty came in view. "Need a lift?" Amelia asked, over the ship's com. Using the anchor, she grabbed the truck car and pulled it.
"Oroborus, as quick as you can!" Emera shouted.
"Aye, aye, Captain!" Amelia joked, putting the ship on full speed. The truck car was lifted as the ship took flight.
On the train car with Pythor, Sensei Wu tried using Spinjitzu, but Pythor managed to stop him. "You're getting weak, old man." Sensei Wu stepped on Pythor's tail, but was free for barely a few seconds before the car crashed, knocking him out.
Pythor stepped out of the rubble, holding the fang blades. Smiling to himself, he went over to the statue of the Great Devourer, putting each blade in. "Finally, the Great Devourer will awaken!"
He went to the center, where the statue had begun to ooze venom. "Awaken, great one! Awaken with a hunger to devour all of Ninjago!" Pythor cried.
"What have you done?!" Sensei Wu yelled.
"Don't you see?" Pythor said gleefully. "Releasing the Great Devourer is our revenge against your people for locking us up for all those years! It should have been us!"
"You are playing with a power which cannot be controlled! It will consume everything including the Serpentine!" Sensei Wu warned.
Pythor turned back to the statue. "Unleash, Great Devourer, and do my bidding, as I am the one who released you!"
The statue continued to vibrate. Outside the city, Amelia set down the truck car. "We're coming too!" She yelled. The ninja ran toward the city's center, Amelia and Lloyd right behind them.
Looking around, Pythor became more eager as the statue of the Great Devourer crumbled, but nothing appeared. "No, no! It's not in the statue, then where?!"
His answer was the ground breaking. Pythor, realizing where it was, tried to run, but Sensei Wu blocked him. "You will see what you unleashed!"
"It's underneath us, you fool!" Pythor cried, but Sensei Wu shoved him towards the center.
"This is our destiny, Pythor." Sensei Wu told him, holding him down as the ground continued to fall away.
"What going on? And what's underneath the ground?" Emera said, getting scared.
"You must stop the Great Devourer. Go ninja, go!" Sensei Wu yelled.
"No! Sensei!" The ninja cried.
The ground gave way in the center of the city and the Great Devourer shot out of the earth, huge and angry. It's first meal became Pythor and Sensei Wu, as it grabbed them with its mouth and swallowed.
Little thing I should ask;
I will be continuing into season 3. Would you guys like it to be the same story, or under another title?
Other than that, nothing would change.
