Chapter 10! I am VERY TRULY SUPER sorry I couldn't update. I had absolutely no internet access. I was really bummed because I couldn't get on the Fanfiction website. I did work on some chapters in the time I couldn't get on, so all I have to do is edit them and tweak it a little then I will post them. Enjoy this (kind of long) chapter! Disclaimer: I don't own ninjago, only my OCs: Dakota, Leo, Ash, Leah, Lachlan, and Drakel Flim. WARNING: Little bit of bad language. And there will be a small sword-fighting scene.
"Oh, don't look so surprised, Zane. I only changed a little." Ash glanced at his watch. Thirty more seconds, he's already turning back to normal. He thought.
"I see you're going for the vampire look, are you not?" Zane retorted, the golden orb fading. "By the way, Dracula called, he wants his look back." Ash bit his lip to stifle a smile while Drakel pretended to look offended, his red eyes widening.
"And I see you still hurt people's feelings." He looked at Zane's forehead and flashed his fangs in triumph. "No matter, the mangy wolf's mark has faded. You are my servant now."
"NO! YOU DO NOT TOUCH HIM!" Ash yelled and lunged at Drakel, who blocked the attack with one arm.
"Now, now. Be nice, Ash. I was talking to your dear brother. I think you need a time OUT!" Drakel threw Ash into a corner, where he crumpled into a dazed heap. "Now, Zane. Do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way? Be my servant voluntarily or I will make you by force." He made a fist and Zane yelled in pain. "NOW MAKE YOUR CHOICE!" He relaxed his grip.
"N-Never. I-I am not l-like you." Zane wheezed. "I r-refuse the offer, I w-will never hurt my friends." Drakel snarled and marched forward, where Zane stood frozen to his spot.
"You will when I'm through with you. I gave you a choice, but you refused. No one refuses me!" Drakel let out a high pitched whistle and Zane's eyes turned violet. "There, that's better. Now, make Ash feel the pain you went through without him." Zane turned his purple gaze on Ash and brandished a silver shuriken but he hesitated. "Go ahead, please me and I will let your friends live." Drakel gestured to a doorway, where a light turned on, showing Zane's friends being held captive.
"LEAVE MY SONS ALONE!" Dr. Julien screeched in fury, Leah clung to his lab coat.
"DON'T DO IT ZANE! HE'S YOUR BROTHER!" Dakota yelled.
Drakel put his arm around Zane's shoulders. "What kind of brother leaves a young boy to fend for himself, making him believe his brother was dead for three years." He leaned near Zane's ear and whispered. "If you do what I command, I will let your friends go. I will never betray you like Ash did." Zane nodded as if he was in a trance and approached Ash, who was getting to his feet.
"Zane, don't do it, please!" Ash tried pleading to him.
"I only listen to Drakel." Zane said in a solemn tone. He threw the shuriken at Ash, who dodged it. The shuriken came back to Zane and he threw it again, this time it got stuck in the wall. Zane scowled and turned to Drakel. "I need a sword." Drakel smiled in glee and tossed a sword at Zane. "I will please you master." Zane caught it and hit the hilt into Ash's chest. Ash hit the floor and he felt for something he could use as a weapon. His hand rest on something cool and smooth. A metal rod. Ash stood and Zane whipped the sword at him but he blocked it with the metal rod.
"ZANE! STOP THIS ISN'T YOU!" Ash ducked, narrowly avoiding getting his head knocked off. Ash blocked Zane's strikes, moving his feet fast to dodge and then strike back. Zane thrust his sword at Ash's chest but he moved aside.
"YOU LEFT ME ON THAT ICE! YOU MADE ME THINK YOU WERE DEAD!" Zane growled and swung the sword but Ash locked the sword with his makeshift one. Zane pushed Ash against the wall and hissed in his face. "NOW YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE STILL ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT LAKE!" He spun his sword and knocked Ash's away, sending it skidding across the floor. Ash fell on his back and Zane raised the sword over his heart.
"I'm sorry brother. I never meant to hurt you." Ash whispered and covered his face with his hands, waiting for the sword to strike his heart. When it didn't, he risked a glance at Zane. He was shaking his head and had dropped the sword. "Zane?"
"B-Brother. I-I forgive y-you." Zane let out a scream and dropped onto his hands and knees.
"STOP FIGHTING IT ZANE! IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE!" Drakel yelled and let out another high-pitched whistle. Zane grabbed the sword he dropped and leaned over Ash then plunged the sword into his brother's side.
"This is how it felt when I thought I lost you. Hurts doesn't it?" He growled in Ash's ear and yanked the sword out if his side, emitting a cry of pain out of Ash. Zane turned towards Drakel, who was grinning around his fangs, and waited for an order.
"Zane, take them away from here, maybe the woods." Zane nodded and forced Ash to his feet then pushed him into his father's arms. Leah squeaked and buried her face in Dr. Julien's coat, she was trembling uncontrollably.
"Outside." Zane ordered and nudged Kai to get moving. Once outside, crowd standing in front of the hospital to see what was going on, Zane herded the prisoners to the woods.
"What's wrong with Zane? Why are his eyes that color? What is he doing with the ninja? Is that a dog?" Zane ignored the whispering comments from the crowd and pushed Jay forward when he started slacking. Zane snarled at people when they started to get closer. Lloyd tripped over a tree root and Zane yanked him back to his feet, pushing him into Dakota.
"FUCK OFF!" Lloyd yelled at Zane and grabbed Leah's hand when she stopped.
"Everyone stop here." Zane said when they reached a small clearing. "Drakel said to take you away from him, so don't show your faces again."
"HOW COULD YOU?! HE'S OUR BROTHER! WHERE'S THE REAL ZANE?!" Leah hit Zane's back. Zane reacted by whipping around, grabbing Leah's wrist, and forcing it behind her back.
"He left us, he deserved it. I am still the same as I was yesterday." He hissed and pushed Leah into a puddle at Dr. Julien's feet. Leah started crying and Ash cradled her in his arms, shooting Zane a dirty look.
"NO YOU'RE NOT! THE REAL ZANE WOULDN'T HARM HIS SISTER OR BROTHER! YOU ARE A MONSTER!" Cole punched Zane in the jaw, sending him to the ground. Zane was still, out cold, after the impact, his nose bleeding deeply.
"Oh great. Good job, you killed him." Lachlan said with sarcasm. "While you're at it, why don't you go kill Drakel. We need to get Lowell and Zane to your headquarters so we can help them."
"Yeah but the academy is across town. By the time we reach it, Ash may be dead and Zane ma- HOLY LIZARD!" Dakota stumbled backwards when three dragons stomped out of the woods. One was yellow with red swirls, blue eyes, small wings and a slim head. The second was black with a single white stripe on its long snout, yellow eyes and large wings. It was smaller than the other dragons. The third had broad shoulders and head with black eyes. Its scales were blue and white with a snowflake-shaped mark on its chest. Its wings were bigger than the other dragons'.
"Hey, they look like our old dragons. Maybe they are for Dakota and Leo." Jay said. Leo frowned and limped up to the black one, not in his wheel chair anymore. It lowered its head to Leo, making a purring sound. "They are the elemental dragons. I'm guessing they are here to help."
"Whose dragon is who's?" Ash said, leaning on his father's shoulder and clutching his wound.
"The yellow one looks like Dakota's, the black on is Leo's, and the white one is yours." Dakota jumped onto his dragon's back and scratched its ear.
"Who's a good boy?" The dragon blew steam out of its mouth and shook its head. "Oh, you're a girl? Hmm, I'm going to call you… Anna Belinda." The dragon stomped her feet in happiness.
"Why that name?"
"It means beautiful and graceful, like her. Deal with it Jay."
"I'm going to name mine… Knucker." Leo patted Knucker's black and white snout, Knucker rolled onto his back and purred. "Aww, you're cute. You look younger than the others, though." Ash looked his dragon up and down with a thoughtful look.
"Maybe… Draco." His dragon swished its long tail, creating a small snowstorm. "Blizzard?" The dragon shook his wide head. "Snowy? Glacier? Fros-." The dragon flapped his wings. "What, Glacier? Okay." Glacier curled his tail around Ash's injured side, coating it in frost. "Thanks, that feels better. Can you help us?" He gestured to the small group. Glacier nodded, blew a wisp of snow, and roared at the other dragons.
Leo, Ash, and Dakota have dragons! If you haven't noticed, Glacier is the leader of the dragons. The reason why Glacier coated Ash's injury is because frost can protect things. Oh, and Leo really didn't NEED the wheelchair. It was one of those hospital things where you have to leave in a wheelchair yadda yadda yadda. Not going to bore you to death.
Voice in the background: YOU ALREADY KILLED ASH! Oh, and I drank the tea that was in the fridge, whose ever it was.
SHUT UP LEO! Well stay tuned for the next chapter and hopefully Ash will be back, I can't guarantee Leo will though.
Leo: … *runs away*
COME BACK HERE TEA STEALER! *tackles Leo* Make sure to review, they REALLY help. Like, REALLY REALLY help.
