Day of the Departed Chapter 2
Teams were set. Marie and Clancee went with Pythor and Katherine to check the city. Hajna and Khozah went to help Zane, Acidicus and Ventrinity went to Jay's aid, Vero and Nevera went to Kai, and Lero, Tiana and Chadai went to help Lloyd while Wu and Morro searched for Cole.
Pythor's group rode on Marie's Pokémon, the teen and pirate snake rode on her Charizard, Smokes, flying in the sky to get a bird eye view. Pythor and Katherine rode her Rapidash, Fiera, through the streets to keep a close eye out. Clancee caught something white ahead. "Th-th-there M-Marie!" he pointed.
"Right! Kat, Pythor, we got a visual!" she shouted flying ahead. Pythor gently whipped Fiera's side making the fire horse run faster. Once they got closer, they noticed the unmistakable white and violet coloring. Marie pulled out two more pokeballs and threw them.
"Grovyle, Lumi stop that imposter in his tracks!" she ordered.
"Vyle!"
"Flaaff!" Grovyle used bullet seed and Lumi used a thundershock stopping the fake Pythor.
"What in the name of the great devourer?!" Mannequin Pythor turned. "Well the other villains were right…the living me has made friends with despicable humans…" he hissed. Marie and Clancee jumped off Smokes and Pythor and Katherine off of Fiera.
"You'll pay for what you did!" Pythor growled. Mannequin Pythor chuckled.
"Oh please, I've done you a favor!"
"Done me a favor!? You just ruined the life I worked so hard to make for myself!"
"Did I? Or did I merely remind you who you truly are Pythor…You are not some human lover who spends his time with fools like these, you are a smart, cunning and dastardly fellow, you worked so hard to destroy the humans, to destroy mankind…just as they did to you…just as they did to us. They locked us away, they killed our parents, and everything that has ever happened to you is their fault and their fault alone." Mannequin Pythor growled lowly. "Don't you realize that?"
Pythor stared at himself…and shook his head. "God was I really this stupid?" he asked Katherine who nodded. "Yup."
"Marie I've heard enough!"
"On it, Grovyle trap the faker in vine whip please."
"Vyle!" the wood gecko pokemon complied summoning vines from the ground to wrap around Mannequin Pythor causing him to yelp in surprise.
"How is this even possible?!"
"Pokemon that's how you dingbat…" Pythor snorted rolling his eyes at his mannequin self.
"N-now what?" Clancee asked.
"I'll handle the faker." Marie said. "You guys help the others."
"You sure about that Marie?" Pythor asked. "This isn't the me you know very well."
"Maybe not, but when have you guys ever known me to have issues with a snake? Mannequin or not, I know how to a handle a sneaky serpent." She smirked proudly. Katherine chuckled at that. "She's got a point dear."
"Very well then, just be careful."
"You too. Clancee go with them." Marie told the timid serpent. Clancee was taken back.
"B-b-but what about you?"
"Like I said, I'll be fine, take Smokey and Fiera with you, I got Grovyle, Lumi and the rest of my pokemon. The group said their goodbyes to each other and separated, again Pythor and Kat on Fiera and Clancee on Smokes.
"This is absolutely humiliating…" Mannequin Pythor whined. Marie shook her head before muttering; "Man you even whine as much as the real Pythor."
"I heard that brat!"
"Good, you were meant to…Now bedtime." She said rubbing his snout, Mannequin Pythor couldn't explain it but he felt a heavy drowsiness fall him from the rubbing…he was out in minutes. "Always works…" Marie smirked. "Let's take him back to the hotel for now."
"Gro."
"Flaaff."
When the moon had come higher into the sky, the groups had returned with the ninja. Fake Pythor was still trapped and fast asleep. Pythor and Katherine looked at him and back at Marie.
"Has he been asleep this whole time?" Pythor asked.
"Yup, only way I could get him here without him freaking out and shouting like a crazed guy."
"Wake him up so we can figure out what's going on here Marie." Katherine said. Marie nodded and pushed her hand against the fake's side. He woke up with a jolt.
"Wh-where am I?!" He demanded looking around. As soon as he saw the two human girls AND the ninja he groaned with a sour hiss…"Great…not only have was I captured by a human child…I'm surrounded by the five people I hate the most." That was when he took a second look. "Pardon me, the four people I hate the most." He corrected.
The ninja blinked and looked at each other realizing he was right.
"Where's Cole?"
"And Uncle Wu and Morro…" Lloyd asked with a puzzled frown.
"Sensei Yang must be handling them all…" Fake Pythor muttered. His counterpart turned to him sharply.
"And who is Sensei Yang?"
"Yang's Temple? Ring any bells?"
"Quit beating around the bush...How are you and the other villains here?" Marie asked.
"All I know is that Yang brought us back to life. We had to destroy the ones who destroyed us, AKA you ninja, and we had to do it before the eclipse was done."
"What happens if you don't?"
"What do you think? We're gone, we revert back to our statue state and we can't live, speak and walk around." Fake Pythor hissed looking away. Katherine frowned at that.
"Marie….untie him please."
"What?!" the ninja exclaimed.
"Katherine, love, are you sure that's a good idea?" Pythor asked her.
"He might be a statue dear, but he's still you. And it isn't fair he only has one night to live…" She told him looking back at Fake Pythor. Pythor sighed and nodded in agreement.
"When you're right, you're right love…Marie?"
The shifter nodded and released Fake Pythor. "Just be sure to behave yourself." She said as she then wrapped a blue piece of cloth around his neck. "And this is to tell you apart from our Pythor." Fake Pythor looked down at the cloth in disinterest.
"You can't seriously trust him?!" Kai exclaimed.
"He's the evil Pythor!" Jay added.
"He was brought back with all the other villains to destroy us!" Lloyd reminded. Hajna, having enough of their whining, took a wooden ladle and smacked the three upside their heads.
"OW!"
"Now if you three are done complaining and whining like a bunch of children, I need to cook dinner. We have company after all…" with that the hypnobrai headed straight into the kitchen. Katherine turned to Fake Pythor.
"I'm sure your hungry right?" She asked. Fake Pythor sneered at her but his growling stomach took control then. He sighed and nodded.
"Once Hajna's finished you can take a plate and we'll leave you to eat in peace." Katherine told him with kind smile. Fake Pythor didn't respond to her, he never looked her in the eye…
"In peace?! You're seriously just going to leave him alone without ANYONE keeping an eye on him?!" Jay snapped. Marie rolled her eyes at the blue ninja.
"Are you done? In case you didn't notice, this Pythor wasn't coming to destroy you like the other villains that were somehow brought back to life." She reminded with a hint of annoyance in her voice. Jay pouted and crossed his arms.
Meanwhile, Chen and his lackeys stood outside the hotel, watching it from a good distance. The other villains soon joined him.
"The ninja are in there…" Chen told his fellow bad guys.
"As is Pythor…both of them in fact…." Cryptor muttered.
"Looks like the two human girls in there tamed in." Samukai snickered. "And he said he despised humans, yet he can't do a thing to a couple little girls."
"Pathetic…" Khozu disapproved. "Truly pathetic…"
"We should wait a couple hours until they're not expecting us." Cryptor said then. Samukai gave him a look as if he just said the dumbest thing ever.
"We don't have a lot of time remember, bucket of bolts?"
"Wait until their eating…They'll be calm and enjoying themselves then…they'll never see us coming…" Cryptor said crossing his arms. "They'll never see us coming…"
Finally got the second chapter up! I don't own ninjago or pokemon and their characters. Katherine belongs to RubensLilium and my ocs belong to me.
