Part 4: Elzmara
Chapter 14: Back from the Dead
Ninjago Date: January 15th 2043
I yawned as I flew in the air. Wu stared at me with awe.
"Please stop that." I said as I frowned at him. He was staring at my pointed ears and wings. I sighed and shifted my swords. "I was happy when I got my wings, but I didn't think I would have to reposition my swords… They feel strange being in such a wide X."
I flew down and hovered just above the ground next to Wu, and circled around him twice. He sighed and walked a little faster. I froze, only flapping my wings at the same sonic speed.
Crunch
That sounds like snow crunching under a foot. Steady steps, slowly coming behind me with a calm demeanor.
I growled and gripped my swords, swinging them and twirling. I stopped and widened my eyes as I stared into the bright icy pearls of Zane's eyes. I blinked twice as my swords cold blades lightly touched his necks soft skin and his waist. He stood calmly and didn't move a muscle, other than to smile. I relaxed, letting my blades fall to my waist. I stared at him.
The ground under his feet turned frosty, and covered in snow. He had his feathery snow-white wings and the pure golden halo surrounding his neat upright hair. He wore a pale blue T-shirt and a white long sleeve underneath. The top shirt had a white snowflake design. He wore white jeans with a crystal chain running from a front pocket to his black leather belt. He wore leather shoes.
"Nephew."
"U-Uncle…?" I whispered. He smiled and put his hands on his waist. He flapped his wings slowly and lifted off the ground, hovering just like me.
"Y-You?"
Zane's face turned serious as his head flashed to Wu. I shot my head in the same direction. Wu stared at Zane with fear in his eyes. I blinked twice and noticed Wu grab the sword at his waist. I snarled and flew in front of my uncle, careful not to bump my wings into him.
"If you want to hurt Uncle Zane, you have to go through me." I said, causing Wu to snarl.
"I will not have that, Nephew." Zane said as he lightly gripped my wrist. I turned to see him touch the ground, forming snow under his feet. I moved to the left slightly, allowing him to fly forward.
"It was you, was it not? You are the one who killed me… not my sister." Wu nodded and lessened his grip on his sword. "Guilt tried to tell me that my sister did it. Naturally I didn't believe him." Zane held out a hand, and Wu stared at it in shock. "No hard feelings… If I had known that my existence would endanger the world, then I would have done it myself."
Wu looked to his feet then back to my uncle.
"Knowing you, you probably would have." He said, grasping Zane's hand. "I am glad you understand."
I simply stared. What just happened?
Something is up… sure, I am happy Uncle Zane is here but… how… there has to be a catch… right?
"Right Frost?"
I blinked twice and looked at Uncle Zane.
"Uh… what?"
He frowned. "I said we should go to the Time Gate over the mountains… but now that I think about it… I believe that we need to gather the Time Key… that would be another few days trip on foot…" He said as he glanced to Wu. "If it were just Frost and I, we could fly there and to the mountains in a matter of two days."
"Two days! But one hour is two days in Ninjago! I cannot afford to wait that long! My parents cannot wait that long." I looked to my feet. "Milla cannot wait that long…" I whispered. Zane sighed.
"It is the only way, Nephew."
I growled and raised my swords. I saw Wu and Uncle Zane gasp, Zane summoning two shurikens and Wu grabbing his sword. I ran forward, and bounced off the ground, using my wings for speed as I tackled a figure that was prowling behind Zane. I heard an animal yelp and glanced down to see a large dog/snake. It was a snake body, with dog eyes and a dog nose, but snake fangs and tongue. I gasped as I struck my sword through its chest.
"Monsters! How and why are they in Elzmara?" I exclaimed as I stared at Wu. He shrugged. I frowned and gasped. "What… what if Zane's Guilt didn't do this…?"
"What are you saying?" Zane asked with a frown.
"Think about it… this place is like an opposite world of Ninjago. I bet if we go to the capitol we would find a destroyed house and two kids missing."
"Are you saying, that what happened in Ninjago, also happened here, only with a female Zane and Guilt?" Wu asked. I nodded.
"Perfect… two Guilts, two Frosts, two Zanes. This will be fun." Uncle Zane said as he flapped his wings. I sighed and hovered over the ground again.
"The question is… what do we do?" I asked them.
Do we stay and help the opposite me defeat female Guilt, or do we simply return and solve our own problem…?
I think I will allow you guys to decide what you want to happen. Do you want Frost to A) help Elzmara with their Guilt problem
Or B) Find his way back to Ninjago?
No I am not saying if he helps he wont have a way back, but it will mean possible years lost in Ninjago. And the longer his parents will have to wait to be possibly rescued.
Or if you would like, I could post both, saying the story in different ways, like to ones who want the story on option A can go to a specific chapter and the ones for B go on another. Your choice. I'll give you a week to decide so that I can ensure peoples choice, but if the choice is obvious than I may start and upload before hand.
Either way I NEED you to review, or I can just choose. Doesn't matter to me.
