Ch.3: Ambush!
After the Ninja landed onto the sand, they looked around the island. It's not exactly big; it's like twenty-five miles in diameter with a few bunches of trees bearing fruits. And the lighthouse on the strong pile of rocks sticks out like a sore thumb.
"All seems quiet," Zane said, looking around.
"Yeah," Pam replied as she set Lloyd down. "A little too quiet…"
"Pam's right," Kai said, drawing out his sword. "There's no telling what other surprises this island might have—"
Before he could say here, the ground shook, and out of the ground shot moldy green hands. The group ran back quickly as out of the ground crawled moldy-looking bodies in trash-colored barbarian clothing.
"ZOMBIES!" Lloyd cried, hiding behind Pam who groaned with annoyance.
"Man, I hate zombies," she sighed as she got out her sais. "They just don't know how to mind their boundaries. Oh, that's right…you have no BRAINS!" As she yelled that last word, she spun around and impaled her sai into the forehead of a zombie lunging at her. She then pulled it out to let the now dead-dead corpse fall back and grimaced at the black goo on her weapon.
"Darn it!" she growled. "What a waste of good polish! I'm gonna hafta get this thing sterilized."
"Pam, worry about that later," Kai called. "Right now, we got another problem in our hands." He then focused his energy into his sword, which sprung to life with golden flames. He then slashed at some of the zombies to fire a wave of fire at them, either slicing them in half with charcoaled tops/bottoms or burning them to a crisp. Jay helped out by swinging his charged up nunchucks to knock the heads clean off their bodies. They electrocuted heads then hit the other zombies and electrocuted them.
"Okay, Lloyd," Pam said, turning to the younger ninja. "Let's see how your gloves work for ya!" She then held her sai out in front of the boy. "Try scanning the gold from my sai." With a nod, Lloyd placed his gloved hand on the Golden Weapon.
"Gold Power, GOOOO!" he cried as his gloves then turned to gold. He then jumped up into the air and slammed his fist hard into the ground, causing a small but strong quake to erupt from his fist and towards the zombies. The ninja then watched in awe as the ripples from the quakes turned all the zombies into solid gold statues as they passed them from underneath, including the body halves, the corpses charcoaled from electrocution or burning, and decapitated bodies and heads without bodies. Not a single zombie was spared.
"Holy WOW!" Pam cried before turning to Lloyd. "Lloyd, you were awesome!" She then scooped the boy up into her arms and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you! If your dad was here to see this, he'd raise your allowance by selling these statues to Fort Knox!"
"The question is," Nya replied with a look of concern towards the statues, "is the effect permanent?"
"Nya's right," Cole replied. "We should find that lighthouse, get Dr. Julien, and get off this island as quickly as possible." Pam nodded understandingly before settling Lloyd down so the two of them can follow the ninja to where the lighthouse was spotted. As they were, the figure that summoned the zombie after destroying the Bounty watched them with a glare of frustration…especially towards Pam.
"I hoped I'd find you…" he growled, "and you'll get yours soon enough!" He then disappeared into the cave behind him.
