Ch. 15 Hope of the Dragons

A portal opened up just above the seas, out of the portal flew the Stone Gargoyle. On top of the Gargoyle's head was the transparent form of the Overlord who looked on at the horizon with the Realm Crystal in hand, behind him, on the Gargoyle's backside was Rapunzel, who looked as if all hope had faded from her being. Her hands we're being held behind her back by Pythor who was smiling evilly. Both Stabbington brothers sat on the side of the flying Gargoyle; both we're looking bored as they let their legs dangle. Gothel was close to the Overlord.

"If I may, where are we going exactly?" Gothel asked. "We have Rapunzel, can't you absorb her power?"

"Not yet." The Overlord replied. "I'll need to go to a specific location to perform the ritual."

Pythor then looked onto the captive Rapunzel. "Oh what's the matter my dear?" He asked in a mocking tone. "You look rather depressed."

She gave a defiant glare towards the white serpentine "Let me go. I will never help the likes of you."

"Oh I'm sorry, but you don't have much of a choice." Pythor replied.

"Why are you doing this? Why help the Overlord? Didn't you help the Ninja defeat Chen?" Rapunzel questioned.

"That was only a temporary alliance." Pythor answered.

"But the Serpentine have made peace…" Rapunzel began.

"Peace is for the weak." Pythor interrupted. "The inferior humans have placed my kind underground for decades and left us there to rot. The Serpentine we're far stronger than they could have ever hoped to be, we should have been the ones ruling the surface. It would seem that my kind has grown soft, but I will never side with humans."

"You're all kinds of cruel, you know that?" Rapunzel glared.

"Flattery will get you no where." He replied.

"Enough of you're bickering!"

All eyes turned onto the Overlord. Hearing this voice was enough to send a chill down Rapunzel's spine as she looked at him in fear.

"We have arrived."

All of them looked ahead as a land mass came into view. An island decorated with multiple palm trees and a small mountain with a red temple on top. The Gargoyle was currently heading for the temple.

"What is this place, where are we?" One of the Stabbington brothers asked.

"My home. The Dark Island." The Overlord replied. This was the very same island he was imprisoned on for decades after his battle with the First Spinjitsu Master; the one where Lord Garmadon and he formed an alliance and when he was prepared to make his triumphant return, how fitting that he should regain his powers here once more.

"Ah, it is good to be home." The Overlord laminated.

Eugene had just crawled up onto the beach, from the sea of where he was dropped. He fell on his back on the sand in exhaustion; Pascal was near his head in a similar position. Maximus had also lain down on his side; all three we're now trying to catch their breath.

"This… this isn't…. good." Eugene breathed as Max and Pascal each shook their heads in agreement.

Eugene was now on his bum. "We gotta do something."

"EUGENE!"

He, Max, and Pascal turned around and saw Lloyd running towards him; following behind him was Kai, Nya, Jay, Skylar, Zane, and Cole. When the seven ninja came to him, he was helped up to his feet by Zane.

"Are you alright?" Zane asked.

"What happened? Where's Rapunzel?" Lloyd questioned.

"They got her." Eugene replied. "The Overlord got her."

All seven ninja looked to each other in shock.

"What?!" Kai, Lloyd and Nya all said.

"What the heck happened?!" Jay yelled

"The Overlord and his buddies showed up, they grabbed Rapunzel, threw me and Max off a cliff, and flew off." Eugene answered.

"Well, do you know where they went?" Skylar asked.

"No." He responded. "There was a portal, once they flew in, it closed."

"The Realm Crystal. It's gotta be." Cole said.

"Well what are we waiting for? We gotta go get her!" Eugene exclaimed.

"Agreed, but we do not know where they are." Zane stated. "With the Realm Crystal they could have gone to any realm."

"But we can't just sit back and do nothing!" Eugene exclaimed.

"We know!" Kai yelled. "But we have absolutely no idea where they could have gone. On top of that, we only have enough Traveler's Tea for one portal."

"Well, anyone got any ideas? Because I'm out." Jay stated.

"I think I got one." Lloyd replied, all eyes we're then focused on him. "I think I know where she is."

"What do you mean?" Nya questioned.

"You noticed how Rapunzel's power and mine are similar?" Lloyd recalled. "Well, I can also feel hers, like I know where she is. I can still barley feel it, but it's there."

"Where?" Eugene asked.

Lloyd closed his eyes and attempted to focus. He breathed in and out deeply and slowly. His eyes then opened.

"Ninjago. They went back to Ninjago."

"All right then." Kai started. "We know where Rapunzel is, now let's go get her."

"But how?" Eugene questioned. "We left your dragon back at Corona, by the time we get back there it'll be too late."

"Don't worry. We got it covered." Kai stated.

He walked near the end of the beach. He took a deep breath. His hands we're then lit on fire and he began to move in a style that represented Tai-Chi. He they brought his hands together. "Fire!"

In a bright red flash, Eugene, Max, and Pascal looked in amazement as what stood before them. Kai was now on top of a glowing red dragon that had a firey aura surrounding it. The Dragon gave a loud roar

"Woah! What is that?!" Eugene exclaimed as he, Maximus, and Pascal had eyes so wide they looked like they we're about to roll out of there sockets.

"His elemental dragon." Skylar answered.

"It's a special power for every Elemental Master." Lloyd explained. "Once he or she masters his or her own fear, they are able to create a dragon made of the power from their respective element."

"Yeah, like so." Jay began as his hands we're now engulfed with electricity and he to begun to perform a Tai-Chi moment, bring his hands together. "Lightning!"

In a bright blue flash, Jay was now on top of a bright blue dragon with an electric aura surrounding it; this dragon roared as well.

Zane's hand had a frosty wind coming from them, Cole's we're surrounded by floating pebbles, and Lloyd's had green energy emanating from them. They each performed their own Tai-Chi moments as well, each of them bring their hands together.

"Ice!"

"Earth!"

"Energy!"

Three bright flashes we're shined; one white, one brown, one green. When they subsided, Eugene and his two animal friends looked in even further amazement. Zane was on top of a cyan colored dragon with a metal-like skin and a snowy aura surrounding it. Cole was on a dragon made of rocks and earth with a dark green glow underneath the cracks. Lloyd was on his dragon, which was bright green with an energy aura around it. Each of the three dragons roared as well.

"Wow…. That's just…. Wow." Eugene breathed. He turned to the two girl ninjas, Nya and Skylar. "Can you two..."

"Oh, not yet." Nya replied. "Still working on it."

"Yeah, mastering you're fear to create power dragons isn't exactly the easiest thing to do." Skylar added.

"Oh, I get it." Eugene replied. "Just one question, why haven't you guys use these before?"

"We couldn't take the chance the Overlord would spot us." Lloyd replied.

"Yeah, as awesome as these things are, they draw too much attention." Jay added.

"Alright then, let's go people." Kai announced. "We got a damsel in distress to rescue, and a whole bunch of worlds to save."

Skylar got on the Fire Dragon behind Kai as he took off. Eugene got onto the Energy Dragon with Lloyd and he took off as well. Nya got on the Lightning Dragon behind Jay and flew off. Zane took off on his Ice Dragon as well. Cole's Earth Dragon began to hover and grabbed Maximus in his claws and took off.

"Don't worry buddy, I got ya." Cole assured the horse, as Maximus wasn't too comfortable of being held in the claws of flying dragons.

Zane's falcon flew onto Zane's shoulder and Pascal crawled up onto Eugene's shoulder.

All five dragons roared as they flew and soar from the mainland and towards the ocean, with the Fire Dragon up front.

Kai reached into his coat and pulled out a pouch of Traveler's Tea. Skylar handed him a tea cup and Kai pored the liquid into the cup before throwing it out in front of him.

The cup exploded and a bright swirling vortex had opened up.

"Alright Ninja! Remember, this is the last of the Traveler's Tea; no matter what we have to get the Realm Crystal away from the Overlord, if he zaps himself to another realm we won't be able to follow him" Kai announced.

"Understood!" Nya shouted to her brother from Jay's dragon

"Let's do this!" Jay shouted

The Fire Dragon flew into the portal first; the Lightning Dragon was second; the Earth Dragon was third; fourth was the Ice Dragon. The Energy Dragon was about to enter, but Eugene had something to say.

"Uh, this is my first time of traveling between worlds. Should I have something or…?"

"Maybe a bag. Just in case." Lloyd replied jokingly, which Eugene gave a sly laugh at. "Don't worry." Lloyd assured. "We'll get her back."

"I hope so."

The Energy Dragon flew into the portal and it closed behind them.

Done. I know that chapter seemed kind of short, but I have something VERY exciting planned for the next chapter. You'll see.

See you all next time.
