(AN- I got this done for 2 days. I have school that slow me down. The other will come soon.)
In the sky above Jamarnikai Village, where the darkness spread the sky of lavendar blue color. Little dots, bright up the night, a planet that illuminate the night; the moon. It was evening at 7:00 p.m. In the bounty, the ninjas are sitting around the dining room. Jay sat near Cole, Lloyd sat near Zane. They are planning to solve Kai's huge situation. Which still a difficult move when the leader is injured. Zane made lunch and dinner for his brothers since Cole barely move, so Zane support him until he get well. Eating their dinner, they have some conversation.
"Aww, we just got here, Cole!" Lloyd said. Jay jump in "I agree with the green sprout. We just got here in Jamarnikai Village. Do we have to go?" Cole sighed, he respond to those babies.
"We had to. We don't know if Kai is okay. We need to find-" Jay interrupt and inform him something important "Uhh Cole, you're injured. Remember? We can't attack while our reliable leader is injured. What happen if you can't help us? Since Kai isn't here with us, we'll lose!" Jay start reaching his arms into the air and start wiggling. Like a worm popping its head out of the earth crust. Cole slam the table with his right fist. That, the ninjas were silent. Cole break the silence with frustration to his brothers.
"I'M FINE!" Cole look at his brothers in shock. Cole shook his head "Look, I'm fine. But if we just sit here here long enough, we won't know what Lord Garmadon is up to. We need to move out as soon as possible." Cole said.
Zane look at his leader a disapprove look. Cole look at him. He know what he's saying with his face. Cole sighed. Zane informed his leader.
"Cole, I know you want to go but with your injuries, we have a nominal or no chance of losing the battle. And yet, we are in Jamarnikai Village. We can get some supplies if needed until we head out." Zane said to the leader in a soft tone for him to understand. Cole, pondered for few minutes, he nodded. He agree to the ice ninja. Cole sighed and nodded to the two ninjas that want to stay for a while.
"Fine. We'll stay. Until tomorrow okay? We'll head out at noon." The ninjas cheered in silent, Jay and Lloyd give each other a pleased smile and high five together. Zane nodded and look back to his leader. Still, he just need to keep an eye the earth ninja health.
Though, Zane need to help him and defend him if the snakes aboard the ship. There won't be anyone keep an eye on them since Sensei and Nya never came back from the fake letter Skales sent. Zane stood up and gather the plates from each ninjas and went to the kitchen and disappear. Cole ponder about Kai condition, 'Did Kai even rest or satisfied eating any food for last few days?' His mind been corrupt when Jay come up to him tapping his shoulder.
"Hey Cole, want me to take you to the bedroom?" Cole gaze at Jay and shook his head "Nah, I'm good. Besides, I need to clean up the deck for tonight. You guys-"
Jay interrupt "Whoa, whoa, whoa hey, your injured. We can do them-" "Don't worry, I won't let it out easily." Cole rose up slowly, using table for support and Jay came up to Cole and held his arm to help at least. Cole give a faint smile to Jay. 'Cole is tough, I guess I can't stop him.' Jay wondered. Lloyd rose up to Jay and Cole, he stood in front of them.
"I'll go to my bed, good night you guys." Lloyd said. He left the ninja and the dining. Hastily back to his room. Lloyd remove piles of candy, and place them on to his bed. He smirk and start snuggling them. He start consume half his candy. In joy of candy around him, he fell asleep.
Jay release Cole's arm, place him near the door cover of the dining room. Jay stop and gaze at him "Okay Cole, I can't stop you. I'll be in control room and tweak some engine." Cole nodded. Jay trotted to the control room and close the door behind him.
Leaves Cole on the deck. He take few steps. He stop to relieve pain. He held on to the rail, slowly went through the wooden step. Once he reach the flat surface, he knelt down to reach some nets. He stop once more, the pain have other ways. He gaze up and see it's already late. Still, he pick up some gears and went near the pole of the bounty's flag pole. In progress, while handful of weapons on his right hand and left palm flat on the bounty pole.
Suddenly, He heard dangling of the chains. He, drop the weapons slowly, and went behind the pole. His back on the pole and he tilt his head to left. See the intruder enter the deck, he gasped to see someone. Cole mumbled to himself so they won't hear him "Lord Garmadon! But how did he found us?"
After that words, he saw Kai behind Lord Garmadon. Lord Garmadon bring his mega weapon and the doll on his bottom right hand. They both landed on the wooden floor of the deck. Lord Garmadon look around, he got near the pole where Cole's hiding. Cole put his back to the pole not to get caught. Though, wearing black, a advantage during night. He sighed quietly. Until Lord Garmadon and Kai been spotted by the cameras. Then it happened! The alarm went off. Red lights flashing inside the control room. With that, Jay and Zane appear on deck running up to the intruder. Jay, first on the training deck and gasped. Zane tailed him and stop near the lightning ninja side.
"Lord Garmadon!? But how did he know were-" Lord Garmadon interrupt the lightning ninja. "I am here because I have unfinished business to do! And I am here to take my son back from your clutches!" Jay thought Lord Garmadon became blatant for keeping a grudge.
Lloyd ran to the ice ninja. He stop when he see his 'dad'. The deck alarm cause him to sudden wake up call. Zane turn his head 180 degree once he heard someone marching toward them. Lloyd freaked out, hesitate, but know he's a robot. He appease to Zane and rose up, going behind the ice ninja. Jay heard footsteps behind him. Turn around, he see the green ninja. He yelled "Lloyd! Go hide! He want you! We're gonna slow him down as best as we can."
Lloyd nodded, start walking backward, and went off to alleviate somewhere inside the bounty. Jay and Zane on stance. Ready for battle. Zane look around, notice Cole isn't here. He nudge his elbow to Jay, Jay tuen and know his look. He look around where he last saw Cole.
Worried and about to freak out, Zane nudge his elbow again to his lightning ninja brother, he whisper "I think Cole is safe when Lord Garmadon is near." Zane imply. Jay sighed, he was worried for Cole condition. They turn back to Lord Garmadon and Kai in the middle of the deck.
Lord Garmadon grinned "Where is your fearless leader? He's afraid after all." Jay sound out "Oh, now your starting to bully people who was injured. How cold." Jay snapped. Indignation inside gather when he said something to his best friend. Zane anger inside also. Taking one of his family away from him. And disadvantage them. The ice and lightning ninja, on battle stance against Lord Garmadon.
Lord Garmadon grinned and chuckled at the young ninjas and turn to Kai "Kai, deal with them!" He snapped. Zane and Jay, just froze. They don't want to hurt Kai. He's being force. He's innocent inside. There's nothing else to do. While Kai, enter their space, sword on his right hand, dragging the sword on to the floor making screeching noise leaving a trail of marks behind him. Like dragging a hammer on a concrete. The two ninjas have no other choice. If he attack, then they had to slow him down. Lord Garmadon laughed while he watch the pain of 2 ninjas.
But one thing he didn't know. Cole behind Lord Garmadon, he watch his brother rising to his brothers. He had to contrive this soon, but then, he gasped. He saw the doll Lord Garmadon control Kai is on his right bottom hand. No time to think, he sprawl slowly to Lord Garmadon. Slowly and quietly, if he snatch them slowly, Lord Garmadon could feel it moving. Cole choice, he snatch the doll from his hands. Lord Garmadon turn his whole body. He saw the leader, he grab his weapon and slam Cole's chest. With that impact, break some his ribs. Cole flung to the deck rail, leaning on his arm. With that, broke his right arm. The left, held a doll safely.
Jay and Zane, saw Cole impact on the rail calling his name in shock "Cole!" With that tone, somehow, Kai slowly turn around and saw Lord Garmadon and Cole. Jay and Zane look at each other.
Zane whisper to Jay "Did you notice that Kai react?" Jay nodded. When the ran to Cole, but stop. Kai held his sword directly at them, giving catious. Zane and Jay can't do anything. But why Kai is not attacking? He hesitate when Cole been hit by Lord Garmadon.
Cole winced in pained, he put his back on to the rail, his vision became blur and searing in pain, gasped when Lord Garmadon approach him. Cole tries to rose up, but the injury has other ideas. Immobile and gone limp, Lord Garmadon reach out his hand and grab Cole throat and lifted him into the air. He walk toward to the rail over the bounty, ready to release him into the 300 feet drop from Jamarnikai Village. Cole, weak to fight back and struggle on his grip. Lord Garmadon clutch his throat tighter and hissed at him.
"Give me the doll back!" Cole, shook his head "No... I... Won't give...You nothing!" He said weakly. Lord Garmadon speak to the earth ninja "If you fall, Kai will fall with you. Last call, Earth ninja!"
"Then... Kai will be my cush...ion..." Cole snapped.
"You are a pain in my butt. If I have one." (AN- Sorry, I gotta add that! 'If I have one' It sound funny!) Lord Garmadon have no time with him. With that, he release Cole. Cole yell in dismay. His scream became faint. And no longer hear him. The ice and lightning ninja froze. Gasped, sorrow gathers. Even Kai. Lord Garmadon dust his hand removing dirt. He look at Zane and Jay, immobile. See the leader is gone. Lord Garmadon grin and reach his mega weapon.
"Since 2 are done, I should get new assisstant." He grinned. Zane and Jay trotted back in shock. They are next to be control like Kai. Lord Garmadon start his wish. He laughed evilly and start chanting words from his mouth.
"I wish that-" Suddenly, his mega weapon been knock down. A projectile that has a handle in the middle with 2 blades shape of a moon. Swing across and knock the weapon from Lord Garmadon and fell to the floor. Lord Garmadon in shock.
"Who did that?!" He snapped. Jay and Zane face sorrow, change to a pleasing and joyful gesture. The bounty start shaking, a large crash sound, purring engine behind Lord Garmadon. The projectile came back to its master. Lord Garmadon turn around and just dropped his jaws. The samurai and a wise old man. The mechanical left arm clutch a dark figure. He couldn't believe what he saw.
"Nya!" Jay shout. "Hi Jay." She replied. The ninjas were happily to see their Sensei and Cole.
Jay ask Nya "What happen to you guys? We-" Nya interrupt "Few days we were gone. And this happens. Sheesh. Luckily, we got here in time. We saw Cole fall and I was able to save him."
Nya jump out of her exo suit. Sensei jump out the exo suit, hold Cole in a bride position. He place Cole lightly on the floor. Cole give a weak smile to his Sensei. He smile back, he look at his brother. He raise his Bo staff and aim to him.
"Lord Garmadon! Leave my student alone!" Lord Garmadon stepped back. He, look at Kai and demand him "Kai, attack them! I demand you!" Kai slowly turn around to Lord Garmadon, lift his sword at him. Lord Garmadon in shock.
"No. I don't have the doll!" He snapped. Cole speak in weak, soft tone "I told Kai, not to... Listen to you anymore... Or take... Any orders from you!" Cole said, wheezing. Zane and Jay rose up to their leader. Sensei got near Nya. Nya snapped "You mess with my brother and my brothers! You are a jerk!" Kai suddenly flinch.
Kai, slowly coming to Lord Garmadon. Lord Garmadon reach down and grab his weapon. Kai, he jump on to him. Lord Garmadon didn't see him coming. Kai jump on him, for what he did, he reprisal. Punching his torso and his face. Lord Garmadon kick Kai off of him. Kai landed on the deck, he rose up and slowly approach to him once more. Lord Garmadon, tired of this wish, he have no other way but to expulsion. He climb back down by the chains.
"I'm done playing with toys. I will have my revenge!" With that, he went on chains. Jay, Zane, Nya, and Sensei went to the edge of the rail, see him climbing back down. If he could hide if they are not looking.
Lord Garmadon look back and see their face. He dislike and said something "This time you win, but now since your leader is down, he-" Somehow, and yet impossible, Lord Garmadon slip from the chains. He have four arms? 2 arms clutch on the mega weapon and 2 clutch on the chains. Lord Garmadon fell. He scream and landed safely on hay stacks. He cursed his brother and his kids. Zane and Jay look at each other. Eye to eye. They knew that all along. Jay burst out laughing. Nya chuckled, using her hands cover her mouth, Zane gaze at him falling, and Sensei Wu just shook his head. Sensei frowned and trotted to Cole, still laying on the floor. Lord Garmadon summon the words, paralyze in shock 'leader is down' He reach to Cole.
Zane follow Sensei. Jay and Nya went to Kai, who stand like a statue. Lloyd come out of his shadow, been latent, he saw the whole thing.
Zane scanned Cole for better or worse. He touch Cole's chest gently, He felt some broken ribs and another thing worse. He's bleeding inside, causing blood loss and Cole fell unconscious because of his injuries are far serious. He shook his head. Zane informed Sensei. Sensei in shock, Cole's badly injured.
Sensei said to his ice ninja "We need to get some help, his life may be in grave." Zane said to his teacher "Sensei, we're here in Jamarnikai Village. I'll get help."
Sensei nodded "Go! Get some help. Hurry! Cole doesn't have much time left." Zane have no time to chit chat. He ran to the chains and went down to Jarmarnikai Village for aid. Sensei then heard a fenimine calling his name. He turn his head to the direction.
"Sensei! Please help Kai!" Nya cried. Sensei rose up, look back at Cole, who held a doll on his left hand loosely. He knew this doll is the problem for past few days. He knelt down and snatch the doll from an unconscious ninja. He, went to Kai where Jay, Nya, and Lloyd stood worried. Nya is weeping, Jay came to her for comfort and put his arm around her. Sensei observe the doll, then Kai.
'It hold dark magic. But what fight dark spirit?' Sensei thought. Then it hit him. He went to his meditating room. And return back where Kai stood with his family, a bottle of holy water. He pour the liquid on the doll, the doll, slowly somehow faded. He knew the only way to stop this dark magic, is holy water. The doll now, faded in to peach colored skin once more.
Since the doll became normal, Kai, suddenly move. Nya and Jay, they gasped. Kai collapse to his knees, Nya catch him crying. Hugging him strongly. Jay and Lloyd knelt down with them. They all worried of Kai condition. Sensei smile to see Kai is back to normal soon enough. Sensei glued on the doll again, 'The dark magic is not fully lifted. Kai, he can move. But something is still inside the doll and has Kai being which can be doom for him.' He thought. The disturb of voice calling, disturb him. He turn and see some doctors and Zane tailing them.
"Sensei, I found some help." Sensei nodded. He went to Cole. The doctors were around him, checking his status. Lloyd and Jay came to help but the doctors stop them, not taking another step.
Nya, still embrace her older brother, somehow Kai slowly awaken. Nya gasped and whisper to him "Kai! Your alright! I'm so glad to see you awake at least!" She cried in front of Kai. He show a weak smile back to her. He felt weak and about to fell into darkness. The last time he saw, his family around his brother, Cole. He treat him like a brother that he enjoy being with. Without him, the family wouldn't be complete. He remember he said to him when they first 'I got your back.'
Kai mumbled to himself "I'm sorry Cole, I couldn't do anything to help..." He gritted his teeth and fell in to darkness.
(AN- Whoa! Kai finally awake. But the doll still have hint of his being. How can Kai be fully free from this curse? Cole being injured badly. Poor Cole... To be continued... The next chapter!)
-Spoiler- Nya told the ninja how Sensei and Nya disappeared for that long. Sensei told them for the missing tools to free Kai once and for all. Or will the enemies slow them down? A little Nya P.O.V also!
Please review this story, and tell me if this is great or worse.
