Chapter 6, here we go!
Disclaimer: Nope, don't own anything from Ninjago.
His heart was beating fast...Why was it? It was just a door in front of him, right? Then, why was he so scared to go in? Was there something behind that door that he didn't want to know? He had to find out! There was no turning back. He opened the door and screamed. Standing in front of him was Skales, holding three masks, one of them he identified as his teammates'.
'You're too late, Red Ninja!'
'What have you done?' Kai demanded.
'Oh...I sssssssssssent your little friendssssssssssss to a ssssssssshort walk into a long ssssssssssleep. You have failed in protecting your friendssssssss, do you know that?'
Kai looked at the Hypnobrai, shocked. Before he knew what was happening, Skales started towards him and his eyes started pulsating rings. Kai backed away, horrified. He wasn't going to be hypnotized like Cole was. He wasn't...so why was he getting sleepy?
'I...control...you...' The hypnotic voice entranced him. He tried to resist, but he was too tired. His will was slowly slipping away from him. Just then...
"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE, YOU BIG MEANIE!" A female voice screeched.
Skales was suddenly hit by a small blue-pink light. Kai felt his will returning to him. He got up and saw the snake unconscious. Kai looked up to find the light in front of him. The last thing he felt was a hand grab his and pull him into a world of nothingness...
A little boy with black hair, a long shirt, and jeans was trying to keep up with his father. He struggled and struggled, and finally he made it to the top. He did it! He finally made it to the top of the mountain.
'Look, Dad, I did it!' The little boy said.
'Yes, you did. But you need to practice. Otherwise, you will be another failure in life. You know how your mother would feel if you were a failure.' His father sternly grunted.
The little boy's smile faltered. He wanted his dad to be proud of him. Well, wasn't he?
'Daddy, aren't you proud of me?'
'Proud? Any five-year-old would have climbed a mountain this high. You should be better! And better! But do you know why you won't be? Because you never, ever practice, Cole!'
Cole wanted to cry, but he couldn't. He just looked at the ground, emotionless. Then, he heard thumpings to the head, and saw that his father was knocked out. He looked up. A blue-pink light was in front of him.
'Come on, Cole, quickly!' And he was led into a world of nothingness...
Zane was at the front of the ship, looking out for any signs of danger. Just then, a flurry of wings greeted him. He turned to see a black falcon look at him with yellow eyes.
'Hello, my friend, what news do you bring?'
The falcon pointed a wing towards the cabin of the ship. Zane looked to see a young woman approach him with grace and yet, Zane sensed a spunky feeling within her. She had beautiful long blonde hair which reached up to her ankles, blue eyes that sparkled, and a kimono that had cherry blossoms on it. Before he could say anything, she pointed.
'Look out! Behind you!' Zane turned to find lots of Serpentine behind him. The two leaders, Skales and Pythor, came up to him. They held a metal that was shaped like a snake's fang. The first Fangblade!
Zane didn't have time to react when a hand grabbed him. He turned and all he could see was that he was pulled into a world of nothingness...
'Nya...'
'Save it!'
'Please, Nya...'
'Save your breath!'
The couple was in a gloomy-looking park, and the rain was pouring down. Nya looked drenched and her expression angry. Jay knew he messed up, but he hoped that Nya would at least understand. But it looked like she wasn't going to listen to him. She walked away, leaving Jay all alone in the rain. He sank to his knees and cried bitterly. Never again will he find love. He and Nya were through. He was afraid of losing her, and now...
'Follow me, please.' A female voice pleaded.
Jay looked up to see a blue-pink light in front of him, and the light seemed to be pulling him into a world of nothingness...
The ninjas soon found themselves in a world filled with...nothingness.
"What just happened?"
"You were experiencing either your worst fears or your traumatic memories. This is just the beginning of your journey into each other's shoes." A voice cackled.
That's when they...woke up.
I know, this is a short chapter. But it does peek into the ninjas' nightmares. I feel bad for them...especially Jay. :
Chapter 7 coming up!
