In the sky of sunset vast across the sky above Ninjago City, the city illuminate the dawn peak of the sky. In the Dojo, there are the 5 unique ninja been chosen to protect and fight along with an elder of the son of the first spinjitzu master. Lloyd on the tatami mat on battle stance against his opponent, Kai. In the left corner is 3 ninjas watching the 2 challengers, Cole on the left, Jay on the middle, and Zane on the right sit on their knees and training with Lloyd destiny to fight the dark lord. Kai speak to Lloyd in a courage mood. Making Lloyd to feel more confident during battle.
"Okay squirt, try to attack me and try not to hit the ground. Show me what you got." Said Kai. Lloyd nodded and charge at Kai like he never had time to think.
Lloyd charge him and use his left foot to high kick on Kai's face. Kai block uses his both arm crossed like an X to defend himself. Lloyd use his fist to counter attack Kai block. Kai lose balance and few paces back and in stance and charge to Lloyd to tackle him on a ground. Lloyd use his fist to punch Kai on his torso, Kai flew back in pain in second and regain and tackle Lloyd and Lloyd grab Kai arm and slam him on the ground. Kai groaned and see Lloyd jumping halfway on the air. The ninja was impress how Lloyd became stronger everyday. Kai mumbled on the ground. Victory goes to Lloyd. The ninja clap and cheered on Lloyd victory. Jay rose up and came to Kai for a helping hand.
Jay chuckled and said something to Kai "Man if you were trying to steal candy from a baby, the baby wins." Kai glared at Jay to shut him up. It eventually did make him shut.
Cole came up to Lloyd and lightly pat him on his back and said "Nice job Lloyd, your improving everyday since we help you train. Soon you will become stronger than all of us. I'm glad sensei train us and we can help you what we learn." Lloyd smiled.
Jay interrupt "Speaking of Sensei, where is he? I haven't seen him for a while and Nya." Jay smiled and think about Nya blushing. "I remember Sensei went off with Nya to search some information about the city. I heard." Cole replied.
Zane walk up to view something while his brothers having conversation; peek through the street from the window and see its getting dark. "My fellow brothers, its getting dark. We should head back to the bounty." Zane smiled to his brothers. They all nodded. Suddenly, they heard a man voice coming to the training room.
A brown ninja that let himself go. Dareth enter. "Hello ninjas. Going home already?" "Well Zane night to cook and yeah we're going home." Jay said. Dareth look pleased "May I come for dinner? Please, please!" The ninja look at each others. Cole doesn't mind. Jay and Zane look lightly giggled. Kai speak to Dareth, "Sure, but don't make any mess. I guess..."
The brown ninja cheered. "Thank you for accepting the brown ninja. I"ll teach you guys some things I learn like the lion. Or a Hawk. Or a-" "Yeah, yeah, yeah. come on let's go since its just guys night right?" Jay said.
The ninja exit out of the Dojo, the bounty is park above the Dojo and the anchor is in sight. The ninja start climbing on the anchor. Zane stop and see something in his corner of his eye. He turn his head and take a closer look. When he is disturb by the familiar voice calling him.
"Zane, something wrong?" Cole coming up to Zane. "I saw something over there." Cole wanted to know what he saw. Cole tap on Zane shoulder and both nodded to look. The white and the black ninja stroll where Zane last saw them. When they reach to the alley, all they see is trash cans and piled of old bricks. "There's nothing Zane just piles of trash here." Zane look disbelief. He saw something but just disappear into dust? Cole put his right hand on Zane left shoulder.
"Look, whatever you saw there, its gone. It could be a bird or a rat. Let's go back to the bounty to see the others." Cole said. Zane nodded and walk with Cole back to the bounty. A red eye stare at the ninjas while they left.
In the bounty, Zane is cooking tonight. Cole is near Kai on his left and Dareth on his right. While Jay and Lloyd in front of them across the table. Patiently waiting for their dinner and having little conversation, Dareth said "So how did you do the spinney thing?" The ninja blinked. Cole said to Dareth to comfort him at least.
"Yeah well maybe one day you can join us Dareth." Cole said and chuckled. When Zane enter with the food, Dareth chortle because Zane was wearing a pink apron. Zane look puzzled at the moment and realize why he's laughing. Zane lightly place the food on the table and smiled to his brothers "Dinner is served, enjoy." Dareth took a first bite on the miso soup and his eye widen.
"Delicious! This is amazing, how did you do this? Are you a warlock?" Kai roll his eyes and quietly slurp his soup. Cole nudge his elbow to Kai "Well this is weird. Next time, we shouldn't invite him to supper." Kai look to Cole's chesnut colored eye. "I agree. And his slurp of his soup is irritating."
When the ninja finishing eating dinner, the relentless of Dareth questions and his manners... Jay rose up to Kai and mutter to his ear. "We shouldn't bring him anymore." Jay said annoyed. "Indeed."
In the control room, Cole and Kai are prepare things before they go to sleep for a day until tomorrow. Jay is still sitting near the table, Lloyd stay with Jay because Jay begged Lloyd to stay but Lloyd denied; Jay leaped on Lloyd pinned down until he succumb. He did and stay with Dareth. Silently sat and listen to Dareth stories. Dareth yawned and stretch his arm wide high and accidentally thrust on Zane shoulder. Causing him to drop some plates. Zane turn his eyes down to fracture plates and sighed, Dareth hesitate and said "Sorry ninja it was uhh reflect." Zane sense he's lying but think accident happens.
He knelt down and pick up broken plates, Jay came to assist Zane at least. Jay lift the broken plate and held to Zane on the remaining plates. Zane smiled "Thanks brother, you make my job easier." Jay put his hand on Zane left shoulder "No problem," He lean to Zane ears and mutter "Next time, if he did this again, try to drop onto him on accident." Jay said with a smirk.
"It's going to be funny. And by that, if your going to do it again, turn on your humor switch." Jay wink to the nindroid blue crystal eyes. Zane nodded. Somehow he agree. Maybe he does not like Dareth inviting him to supper. Zane walk to the kitchen and lose sight of him.
"Alright ninjas, I'll be heading out thank you for the marvelous dinner." Dareth said in ease. Wave his hand and stood up and left in dinning table. I hope he can get down that easily. Jay sighed, Lloyd clutch Jay's wrist and twist it.
Jay immediately scowled and stare at Lloyd "OW-ow hey what did I do- OWW!" Lloyd do this for revenge "Because you body slam me to the ground and make me stay with Dareth." It remind him that he let his guard off on Jay. Earlier Lloyd avoid Kai attack pratice in dojo 1 hour ago. Jay rose up, remove his wrist free from clutch of Lloyd, Jay grab Lloyd by his chest wrapped around and put near his left side his waist.
Jay's hand turn to a fist and said "Who want a nuggie?" Jay smirk aggressively. Lloyd squirm "No-no!" Lloyd lick Jay's hand that causing to lose his grip. Lloyd spit out. "Did you even wash your hands?" "Of course I do!" Jay thought again "Maybe..."
In the control room, Cole's eye glued on the large screen to see anything suspicious. Kai on the left. "Seems Ninjago is sleeping tonight." Kai said. "It seems clear we should check on Jay and Lloyd." Cole said. Kai followed Cole to the dinning room. See his Lightning ninja brother argue with Lloyd. Cole look around and merge to Jay personal bubble space.
"Hey where's Dareth?" Cole demanded. Jay reply "Oh, he left a while ago, I bet he try to use his animal instinct to fly away like a hawk or-"
Suddenly, the ship power is down. The ninja been lifted and thrash into the left wall. The ship slowly fall into the Dojo. The ninja grasp to hold on nearby woods or metal attached to the walls.
"What's going on?" Cole said. "The power is out, duh!" Jay said. "I know the power is out, but how? Well no time Jay, go to the control room and try to fix it! Or we'll crash." Jay nodded and crawled to the control room.
Kai heard a hissing noise on training deck. Serpentine! Kai crawl to Cole while Zane enters the room. Being lifted and slamming onto Cole left side of his torso. Cole winced but let the pain subside. "Sorry Cole," Zane replied. The metal bar that Zane holds break and cause him to fall near the wall where Cole and Kai were.
"Cole, the serpentine aboard inside the ship." "What? But how? We were in the control room to see anything and wait... You said the deck? Do you think Dareth-" A sudden scream outside the training deck. The ninja of fire rolled his eyes and look back at Cole. "We got to save Dareth."
He nodded and thought again "But there's no time to stop the serpentine, were going to crash with the serpentine and-" A miracle happen, the light flickered inside the dining room. The engine heard outside purred. The power went back on again. The ship levitate into the air. The ninjas land on the floor with a THUD sound. They wince. Didn't see that coming. Jay come to his brothers and knelt down to give a helping hand to his brothers.
"I was able to fix the problem. While you guys yelling like girls and I, as knight and shiny amour came to save the day. The wires been pulled but glad I know which is which." Jay gesture with a smirk, Kai annoyance face came up to him and slap his hand on Jay's head. "Ouch." Jay smirk turn to grimace.
"Knock it off you guys. Dareth is in trouble and there's serpentine outside." Cole said in a mature way. He came to the door, sling the door quietly in a inch and observe how many snakes. There are 4 hypnobrai, 2 fangpyre, 4 constrictai, and 2 venomari. They gather and surrounded the brown ninja that let himself go. Cole need to contrive a way to save Dareth before its too late.
"Okay listen carefully. Kai and Jay, go to the left side to deal with half the snakes. Get some net with you to trap some at least to confess them why are they here. One of you distract them and use the net to capture at least one. Zane and I deal with the remaining right side. We will save Dareth. We push the snakes off the bounty since were near the ground." The ninjas nodded and about to pounce in action.
