"That ought to hold them for a few minutes." Zane said as he backed away from the door.
Blake then turned around to see where they were while putting his axe away. "What a mess." He said.
"This must be where they store all the ancient relics." Lloyd replied.
"Which means the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu must be in here." Gewuji said.
"Come on, spread out." Nya said. "Let's find it."
They start to look around the room as Blake sees a glowing blue cube and picks it up to look at it. "Wow." He silently said to himself. (A/N: That blue cube Blake had may be connected to certain birds on boards)
Gewuji then notices something. It was a handle. "Found it!" She said.
They come over to her as she pulls the handle back, only for them all to be disappointed. It was a sword with the blade looking like a gust of wind. "That's not the scroll." Zane replied. "That's the Sword of Kuraishoji." (A/N: The Sword of Kuraishoji will play a role in a future story)
"Damn it." Gewuji mutters before throwing it aside.
"Keep looking." Lloyd said as they resume looking around.
Lloyd then turned to a nearby display case with a rubber chicken inside it. Assuming it was the real thing, he gasps and backs away, hitting a chest behind them. Nya then turned to him as she was holding a book. "Lloyd, careful." She said. "That could have been dangerous."
"It's just some weird chest with a mouth-" The chest suddenly started to glow and suck in some papers. "Whoa!" It even sucks in the book Nya was holding.
They try to get away from the suction as Blake lets go of the cube and grabbed hold of the display case. "What the hell is that thing? It's horrible!"
"It appears to be a Chest Vortex of the Ancient Sybex Tribe." Zane said.
"You say that like it's not weird!" Gewuji replied.
The display case soon came off as Blake quickly grabbed hold of the stand while the rubber chicken is sucked into the vortex. Getting an idea, Blake lets go of the case, quickly switched hands at the stand and held out his left hand to blow Wind at the case and bring it over the vortex before soon covering it and it stops. Everyone soon gets up as Nya turned to Blake. "Quick thinking, Blake." She said.
"Thanks." He replied before turning to glare at Lloyd.
"Yes, I'll be more careful." He said. "But don't pretend you had any idea what that thing could do either." They resume looking around. As he looks around, Lloyd comes across something, causing him to gasp, grab the Sword of Kuraishoji that was nearby, and held it out. It was Oni, who was holding his hands out like he had something in them. Lloyd slowly panted as he stands up as Oni did too. He then realised one thing as he drops the sword. "A mirror?" He started to move his left hand up, turned to the side, turned back and puts his hands on his chin, the reflection of Oni moving at the same time.
"What?" Nya asked as she came up to him as he waves his arms a little, the reflection of Oni doing the same. "What is this?"
"It's some kind of weird mirror." He backs away as Nya looks at the mirror herself, only to gasp when she sees herself in normal clothing and holding a cup. She backs away, a little confused.
Blake went to look at the mirror and was shocked to see a Nindroid with red eyes and silver hair, styled like his. What got him very shocked to even gasp was that its reflected right arm was similar to his prosthetic and was wearing a gi similar to his own. "But why?" Blake backs away, looking at his prosthetic.
"It seems to show us our greatest fears." Something soon passed by, giving off clattering, making them turn to the direction it went, but return to the mirror upon finding nothing.
"How do you know?"
"Because when I look at it, I see myself becoming my father." Lloyd looks at the feared reflection of himself as Oni before backing away.
Curious at what is going on, Gewuji soon came over to them. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"We're looking at what fears us the most."
Gewuji stood forward to look at it and gasped. Her reflection shows an Anacondrai with her eye colour, gold armour, and maroon and teal coloured robes, looking almost similar to a sorceress'. "I see... myself as an... an Anacondrai, wearing sorceress robes." She then raised her hands to see that her reflection was holding the Book of Spells in her reflected right hand. "And holding the Book of Spells. It's almost like, I would become a sorceress. Like my father, even when I turn into an Anacondrai myself." She backed away, still looking at her hands as Nya came forward to look at the mirror again to see her feared reflection.
"I see myself… normal." She said as Zane came over to the others. "Like I never achieved my true potential."
Nya backs away as Blake came forward to look at the mirror again and saw his feared reflection. "I see myself as a Nindroid." He said. "As if... I end up getting transformed into something monstrous by someone who desperately needs me for their own personal gain."
Zane then looked at the mirror and gasped. "No." He said as Blake moved aside for him to look closer to see a reflection of data in the shape of a human. "I see... I see myself, but… without any humanity." He looks at his hands a little as his reflection did the same. "Only a machine."
"It's okay." Lloyd replied, coming up to him and puts a reassuring hand on him. "Whatever you see, ignore it. It's not real." Suddenly, something crawls up Nya's back and onto her head, causing her to scream and grab hold of what was on her. It was a mummified hand. She quickly throws it, unintentionally hitting Blake with it, causing him to scream as well before he grabs hold of it, and tosses it aside, unintentionally coming to Gewuji, who quickly caught it and throws it into a nearby corner as they start to run to a nearby door.
But as soon as they get to it, the ice on the other door soon broke off. "There they are!" Cecil called out as they turn to see him and the guards run in. "Stop, thieves!" They quickly open the door and head in before Gewuji shuts the door and Zane freezes the handle as well as the mummified hand as it grabbed onto the door. "This is getting tiresome."
Inside the room they had entered, Lloyd, Zane, Nya, Gewuji and Blake turn around to see insects in jars or cases. "This must be the entomology room." Blake said.
"The what?" Lloyd asked, confused at the word.
"Insects." Zane replied. "From all over Ninjago."
"Come on, we don't have much time." Nya said.
Gewuji starts to move, but had turned around to face Lloyd, not looking where she was going. "And, Lloyd, don't knock anything-" She soon bumps into a box with a jar on it. She turns around to try and catch the jar, but it falls and shatters on the ground. There were some sort of wasps inside it before they start to fly around. "Oh, shit. That one's on me."
"Interesting." Zane said as Blake held up his prosthetic arm for a wasp to land on it so they could look closer at it. "Venomasicus Tigrus."
"Tiger wasps." Blake replied.
"Their sting is the second most painful-"
Lloyd's sudden yelping cuts Zane off as they turn to see a tiger wasp had stung him. "Run!" He yelled. They started to run, trying to get away from the wasps in different directions.
They then turn back to the entrance, only to see Cecil and the guards. "Oh, crap." Gewuji muttered.
"Subdue these malefactors!" He said to the guards while pointing at the five Ninja.
Getting a little idea, Blake quickly moves his left hand back to blow some tiger wasps forward. "Down!" He yelled as they immediately duck down so that the wasps pass over them, and over to Cecil and the guards. They all soon started screaming while the five Ninja got back up.
Cecil soon rolls forward, out of the wasps' attack position before standing on one knee and holding a blowpipe. "I will place a proper kibosh on this charade! For the empire!" He puts the pipe to his mouth and blows out the dart. It comes at the five Ninja before ricocheting off of Zane's face, it moves to a nearby case before ricocheting again behind Cecil until it ricocheted once again off the wall behind him and the still wasp attacked guards, and ricochets off the ceiling. They all watch it soon ricocheting off another wall before hits a nearby display case, breaking it. "Oh, fie!"
Bugs start to crawl out of the hole. "What are those?" Lloyd asked.
"Vastodectrus Venemous." Zane replied.
"The number one most painful sting in the world." Blake said as the girls head for a nearby door and open it.
"In here!" Gewuji called out to them. "We need to regroup!"
The boys somersault over a display case as they quickly head for the door, head into the room, and Lloyd turned around to see Cecil and the guards being attacked by the wasps and bugs. "Sorry, guys!" He said before closing the door and Zane freezes the handle.
Once the handle was frozen, Nya turned around to see the interior. "Hey, look." She said.
They all turn to see a naginata with a scroll on it, similar to Aspheera's. "That's it!"
Lloyd prepares to grab it, only for Blake to stop him. "No!" He yelled. "I felt it's power. It is too dangerous for someone to touch with their bare hands. Not even I could handle it with my prosthetic." Gewuji then turned around, noticing a nearby banner and takes it off. She wraps the staff in the banner before they all put their hoods on and start to leave the building.
Outside, Lloyd and Blake kick the doors open while Nya carried the banner covered naginata as they all ran out. "Come on, let's get back to the monastery." Nya said as they ran.
Zane and Gewuji enter Zane's helicopter while Lloyd, Nya and Blake enter the Land Bounty before they start and the helicopter starts ascending while the Land Bounty moves forward, turns left, reverses with a beep while moving right, and turns left to move forward down the road, away from the Explorer's Club mansion. "Interlopers!" Cecil called out from inside the building. "Hooligans!"
"Someone will pay for this!" The moustached member replied. "Mark my words!"
"I blame Clutch Powers!" Canes yelled.
"Somehow, this is all his fault!" The monocled member replied, agreeing with him.
"That two bit hack!" The moustached member yelled before buzzing is heard.
"I say, do I hear the telltale buzzing of a Vastodectrus Venomous?" They all soon started to scream and run around.
"Argh, it bit me in the head!" Reddick yelled as the doors open again with one guard running around while holding another, bridal style, and the tiger wasps and mummified hand getting out of the building.
To be continued...in Ninjago: Monastery Invasion
(A/N: That's the end of Aspheera's Revenge. To continue the story, move to Chapter 5 of Monastery Invasion once it's uploaded. Also, the new Ninjago series after several days had been revealed from some poster fragments: Dragons Rising. I'm not fond of the title, though, but it's not bad. Anyways, hope you enjoyed)
