Hey everybody, here's the next chapter where we see where Kai and Zuko went and what the others are gonna do now. I also have another soundtrack for this chapter just go to youtube, type in watch?v=6_rGMdJ5dIk, and when you see this ( ) start playing.

Jade: OMG, that is really creepy! I wonder why that keeps happening O.o Those songs are pretty sad, but also catchy :) Kai is in there somewhere, but right now the evil has total control over him :(

Lya200: Well, if you knew that was gonna happen, then you probably know how this chapter is going to turn out ;)

Suggestor: Good to see that I met your expectations :) I'm pretty demented too, since I've been tormenting almost everyone in my stories, and it's only gonna get worse from here *Evil grin*

Mclpmf: Thank you for liking my story :)

Wolfpelt: If you thought this was shocking, just you wait ;)

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago because, well you know why ;)

Chapter 16

From bad to worse

(Cole's pov)

All of us just stood there, shocked by what just happened. We failed, Kai had somehow smashed the cure against the wall and now him and Zuko had gotten away with the Dark Crystal. What are we supposed to do now? Zuko has the Dark Crystal, the only cure for Kai is gone, and we don't even know where they went.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone cry out, "Jay!"

I turned and saw that Nya was leaning besides Jay, who was lying in a pool of blood. Zane and I quickly ran up to see if he was okay. As soon as we got close I was able to see what Zuko did to Jay, their were cuts all over his arms with blood still seeping out of them, I also noticed that a chunk of his arm was missing.

Nya placed Jay's unconscious form in her lap, causing blood to stain her clothes. Zane then tore off some of his sleeves to patch up the wounds on Jay's arm, Nya took them from him saying, "Thank you Zane."

After wrapping up Jay's wounds he still looked a little pale, but I could still see him breathing. It was faint, but I think he'll live.

Zane then turned to me and said, "We must stop Kai and Zuko before they're able to use the Dark Crystal."

"But we can't while Jay's still unconscious, and if we go back to the bounty, what will we tell Sensei?", I retorted.

"I am not sure, but we must think of something."

Nya then looked up at me and asked, "Then what are we supposed to do now?"

That's a good question.

(Normal pov)

Zuko and Kai were walking down the outskirts of Ninjago city, with Zuko holding the dark crystal. Kai was tagging behind, thinking of what he'd done to the blue ninja. It had seemed almost too easy, he was hoping for something that would be more of a challenge, but unfortunately he'd have to wait for now.

That's when Zuko suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."

Kai looked and saw that they were both standing in front of what looked like a cave.

"What is this place?", Kai asked, curious.

Zuko turned to face him and explained, "Why, this is the tomb where I was created, I was formed from one of your friends true fears. We needed to come here in order to create our army Kai."

"What army?"

Zuko just grinned and said, "You'll see soon enough."

With that said, Zuko entered the tomb with Kai following after.

Once Zuko and Kai had made it down the stairs they soon came into the room underground, it was hard to see since it was so dark, but luckily Kai and Zuko's vision was made to see rather clearly in the dark. In the center of the room they noticed what looked like a hole in the center of the wall, upon closer inspection the wall revealed to have a strange looking carving surrounding the hole. The carving looked like a black mist, except that it had eyes and arms that ended with hands that had claws. Kai immediately guessed that this must have been the overlord.

Zuko looked at the wall with an evil grin and said, "This is perfect."

( ) He then placed the crystal into the hole and that's when the carving on the wall started to glow. Kai was mystified by the sight, but that's when a purple smoke started emancipating from the wall. The whole room seemed to be filled with a noise that sounded a lot like a mixture between a hiss and an evil chant.

The mist suddenly surrounded Kai and Zuko in a smoky haze, causing them to both rise up in the air. This seemed to shock Kai a bit, but Zuko just stayed there calmly, as if this was all according to plan. Both of them felt a warm sensation course through their body, it went from their heads all the way to the tips of their tails, it was such a pleasant feeling. It felt just like being in front of a warm fire on a cold winter night.

As soon as it was over the mist gently placed them back on the floor and dispersed into the crystal. At first both of them were confused that nothing else happened, but that's when the whole room started to glow purple. Figures seemed to start coming out of the wall, slowly at first, but then they appeared to start gaining a physical shape.

Kai suddenly noticed that they all seemed to look just like Zuko, except that they were a bit smaller. Once all of them had emerged from the wall, Zuko noticed that the whole room was completely filled with his minions. He turned to Kai and said, "This is the army I was telling you about Kai, but this is also your army, and both of us are going to lead it and wreak havoc across Ninjago."

Kai just grinned and said, "Show me where to start Zuko."

OMG, Kai and Zuko managed to create and entire army of nightmares, but will the ninja be able to stop them? Or will the numbers be too overwhelming for our heroes? Also, I'm planning on making a horror story for Ninjago sometime this month, so be sure to watch out for that :) Until next time, have a good day/night.
