Chapter 2
Nighttime has swepted across the city of Ninjago. Six figures were on the roof of the museum, and walked across quietly without alerting the inturders. Jay tied a rope around an exhaust vent and threw it over the ledge to a window. Cole, being the leader, went down first, followed by Kai, Zane, Jay, and Sensei. Nya was the last to enter, wishing she had her exo-suit with her, but she had to leave it a block away so she wouldn't make a racket to alert the inturders.
They quietly walked through the hall ways and exhibits. Cole raised up a fist to singal his family to stop. They all looked over a balcony and heard voice's hissing, and slithering movements.
"Why are we here Skaless?" a voice hissed.
"Because Skalidor, thiss museum holdss an ancient artifect that belongs to the serpentine." said Skales, "And we should have it in our possession's, not these retched humanss."
"And what exactly are we looking for?" Fangtom asked
"That." Skales pointed out a podium with glass over it.
The four general's surrounded the display. Puzzled to find out what it is. Inside the case was a piece of gold that was shaped like an egg and around the shape was a red, orange, purple, blue, and green snake; designed to weave around the egg.
"This here is the egg that has been said to be where our ancestors came from." Skales says to the three general's, "And inside the egg, it holds the snakes of our tribes including the Anacondrai tribe. Once this egg is in our hands, we can use it to grow our tribes and control Ninjago once again."
"Not so fast Skales!" said a voice to make the general's turn around.
A fire bloomed the dark room to reveal Kai with his fire sword and the three other elemental ninja's with their weapons drawn out. Zane throws one of his shuriken's at the egg; causing it to tip and shatter on the floor. Skales slithers to the broken pieces, picks a piece up and noticed something odd about it.
"Ceramic?!" he hisses in anger and crushes the piece, "These humanss have annoyed me long enough. Serpentine's attack!"
Snake people of all tribes come out of the shadows and surround the six heroes. Everyone jumps off the balcony, and landed to be surrounded by more serpentines with weapons. The snakes all charged at them, but were flying in the air as the ninja's were fighting them back. More snakes kept charging at them, they all yelled, "Ninja-Go!" and created their spinjitzu's and sent the snakes retreating or unconscious. The four general's tried to escape with there kind, but were cornered by the ninja's, Nya, and Sensei.
"Give it up serpentine, we have you trapped." said Cole
"Oh no earth ninja. It is not you that has us trapped. It is us that has you trapped." said Acidicus, and pulls a rope beside him.
Once he lets go of the rope, two cages fall down above them and trap them, while the other one traps Sensei and Nya. They tried to break the cages with their weapons, but they had no effect. Cole used his scythe to try and break the cage, since he's the earth ninja, he's mostly the strongest of them all. But when the scythe hits the bars, the cage absorbs the shock and sends him flying into the others; leaving them in a pile. They all turned their heads to the sound of clapping in the darkness.
"Nice work everyone, you captured the ninja." says Garmadon and steps out of the shadows and looks in the cage that held the ninja's, "But where's my son and apprentice?"
"Lucas is no longer your apprentice Garmadon." Kai pointed out, "He fights with us."
Garmadon growled through his teeth. He turned to the serpentine who were standing next to him.
"You four, take those two away." he commaned at Sensei and Nya's cage, "I want to be alone with these pesky ninja's."
The serpentines nodded and slithered to the cage. Skalidor hands Fangtom his gold staff, and using his strength on the bars, he breaks the cage; leaving a gap on the side. He reaches in and grabs Sensei and Nya by their throats and slitheres away, followed by the other general's.
"Nya!" Kai crys out to his sister, "What are you going to do with them?!"
"I plan nothing with them." said Garmadon, "It's only you four, my son, and apprentice I plan with."
"He's no longer your apprentice!" Cole gritted through his teeth.
"We'll see about that. If he can't be my apprentice, you four will do fine."
"And how are you going that?" Jay asks, "The venom you had in the Underworld is gone. So you can't control us."
Garmadon just stood there and grinned at them. He pulls out a vial of green liquid inside it. He turns to the ninja's, whose eyes grew wide as they saw the vial.
"Or is it." he says and throws it at them.
The vial breaks on the ground and surrounds them in a green mist. The ninja were coughing and thrashing in the cage to escape; but couldn't. The mist finally clears up and shows the ninja no longer trying to escape, but stood there as solid rocks. They removed their hoods to show Garmadon his results. Cole's and Kai's amber eyes and Jay's and Zane's blue eyes were no longer their original color; but, their new eyes were a misty green. Garmadon smiles for his results and pulls the rope to lift the cage they were in.
"Now that you are under my control," he says to them, "I command you to bring back my son and my apprentice."
"Yes Lord Garmadon." they said in unison, bowed, and left.
Garmadon lets out an evil laugh, for his plans to take over Ninjago will finally happen.
