A/N ok to clear things up in case you havent noticed i update every sunday (I will try to keep to it the best I can) and this takes place after the final battle, so to answer your question guest the answer is yes.
Chapter 8; assault
Little the Cosmic Legion did know, they were being watched that day. Deep in the shadows hidden from sight where their serpentine stalkers and they, motivated on revenge were planning something, something malevolent and malicious. Skales knew that the serpentine where not strong enough to defeat the Ninja alone and if they where able to build their forces they would have no hope. So they decided to attack this girl before they can add her to their team at least that is what they assumed.
Emma POV
I wake up suddenly and sit up in my bed, I knew I had screamed and I see that Nya and Anne woke up. I feel a wicked head ache once more. But I already know what is wrong. I had woken up from a horrifying nightmare;
At first it was all black. Then there was an atrocious stench. I run down a narrow ally in the black of night. I look up to the stars but continue running. This place seems familiar. Hisses invade my head and almost takes me over. I kneel on the ground and hold my head tightly. I look through the tears in my eyes to see Skales right in front of me and he says;
"Look into my eyes, fall under my control, Emma"
"No." I retort and a scream fills my ears and I wake up after that.
I feel myself in Anne's warm embrace.
"Thank you Anne" I say in a barely audible whisper.
"What is wrong Emma?" I look up into her cool grey eyes which had calmed me down.
"It was a nightmare, but I feel that it is a vision and that your friend is in danger." I say because now I know who that scream belongs to. Her eyes widen and I explain the serpentine are planning to attack Cece tonight. We all get up and get dressed. And alert the ninja. We dash to the deck and look down at Acacia village (we haven't left yet) and we notice figures in the night are slowly walking near Cece's house.
"NINJA-GO!" the ninja yell while the girls race down the side of the bounty (The guys jumped of, it is not a far distance and they used spinjitzu). The ninja land right in front of her house while I am still a little far. But as the serpentine notice our arrival a battle unfolds.
Surprisingly I can see very well in the dark. From what I see there are multiple of every kind of serpentine but I am surrounded by mostly Hypnobrai. I feel the gaze of the stars around me. I close my eyes knowing of their hypnotic powers and let the stars guide me. I get in a ready position with two twin daggers in my hands (I specialize in this weapon btw) and I hear a hissing behind me. I spin around and attack the snake about to hit me. I begin to fight with brilliant grace like a beautiful dancer. I make my way through the serpentine knocking them unconscious and stunning them to the ground. I open my eyes that were closed some of the time when I was fighting those hypnotic snakes. I see that Cece had been woken up and attacked by some serpentine. I hear her scream but I cannot reach her. I look behind me to see the general of the Hypnobrai, Skales.
"Look into my eyes, fall under my control" he says trying to create eye contact. I close my eyes and the kick him in the jaw. He seems to become irritated at that point and he quickly, before I can dodge punches me in the gut. I stumble to the ground but look back up.
"Look into my eyes, fall under my control, Emma." He says once more.
"No" I say still avoiding his mesmerizing glare. I slowly get up and it seemed like Skales was about to hit me again. Suddenly Zane comes from his left and kicks him in the head knocking him to the ground.
"You ok?" he says
"Yes, but I think Cece is in danger." I say and we continue fighting.
Cece POV
How could this be? The serpentine are attacking my home! I run outside and look to see that luckily Anne and the ninja are here. But then I see Serpentine coming near me, I walk slowly back to the door but it is too late. A large snake is already on my door step. I look around terrified as a mob of serpentine surrounds me. I try to fight back but there are too many serpentine. I scream for help but everyone is too busy. I blow a few punches but is no use. Sooner or later they start to grab my arms and legs. I give one last scream and close my eyes to wait to see what they shall do to me. But then I feel I am yanked away from them. I open my eyes to see Anne had beaten up a few of the serpentine that where holding me.
"You don't know how glad I am to see you, Anne" I say.
"I am going to get you out of here ok?" she says. She dashed off and I follow her. She clears a path for me as we both run to the bounty. I look around me to see everyone, including hothead attacking the serpentine. It seems though that the ninja are holding them off and the serpentine are slowly retreating. I finally make it to the bounty exhausted. I wait a moment to catch my breath that seemed to have gone AWOL and ran to Canada.
"It looks like the Serpentine are retreating" I say as I look out at the tumult.
"That is a relief" Anne says. Sooner or later the rest of the ninja (And the Cosmic Legion) come to join us on the bounty. We all gather in the bridge.
Anne POV
Luckily, Cece's house was not damaged much and her family is safe. Yet why did the serpentine want to attack her? It seems random to me, they only wanted her.
"The Serpentine must be investigating what we are doing" Emma says.
"Why would they attack Cece?" I ask
"We are adding additional memberS to our team. They think Cece will join as well." Sensei Wu says
"That makes sense, what should we do now?" asks Cole. Emma looks over at Cece and thinks.
"Perhaps, Cece could stay with us for the night so serpentine could not attack her." Nya includes.
"That seems legitimate." Zane agrees
YAY, A SLEEPOVER!" Cece and I say together.
None POV (back with the serpentine)
"Great, just great, now we will never be able to crush those pesky ninja now that they have added another Ninja to their team!" Skales says. (Remember they do not know exactly what they are doing so…)
"What do we do now Skales?" inquires Skalidor
"I do not know let me think" Skales says and he slithers away to be alone.
"How can I defeat those stubborn Ninja?" he asks himself.
"How have they defeated you before? What are their weaknesses? What are their strengths?" he thinks
"We must become stronger, but how?"
"They have become stronger. Yet doesn't Iron sharpen Iron?"
"They are strong as a team, so what would happen if I would to take them down one by one?"
Yup, well for plot reasons yes, that is what he will do. But it will be a while and that is not all he is going to do. I like Skales; he is a pretty cool snake. I don't own anything besides… myself I suppose? And my OCs I think. PLease review! i love it when yall review it helps inspire me! sorry for the small chapter...
Long before time had a name, the ultimate [Sarcasitzu] master created Ninjago with the four weapons of [Sarcasitzu]; the sigh… of mistakes, the noooo-chucks of laughing, The Suuuuuureeeeikens of ice and the words of fire. Weapons so powerful, blah, blah, blah, that no mortal… Yeah. Yeah, yeah!
