Ch. 19 The Final Battle part 1
Castle Dungeons
Kai created a wall of fire that separated him from the corrupted guards. He leapt through the flames and delivered a swinging punch that took all five down in one sweep. He did a cartwheel kick to knock back another incoming two.
Rapunzel blocked a few sword strikes with her frying pan before smacking one corrupted prisoner in the face, then another swipe upwards with the pan in the jaw to another one; before giving the last one a knee to the gut and he fell down.
Lloyd pulled his hands together and sent a massive green energy ball that blew away all the corrupted guards that ran towards him. One guard tried to strike him with a spear, only for Lloyd to duck limbo-style and kick him in the jaw, sending him to the ceiling.
Eugene punched one in the face, delivered an elbow to another in the gut. He performed a leg sweep, knocking two down off their feet, before grabbing the spear of one of the fallen enemies and delivering the back end to the oncoming guard's gut and up to the chin.
Jay's hands sparked with lightning as he sent two bolts forward and it spread to a small group of corrupted guards. They all grunted in pain as electricity zapped their bodies, though Jay kept it down as to not to kill them. The entire group of corrupted guards fell to the ground as they we're now unconscious.
Nya's arms we're engulfed with water and took the forms of large whips. She sent her right whip forward and it pulled away the weapons of the guards that we're surrounding her. She sent the entire whip forward and it wrapped around all of them like a tentacle. Nya then heaved back and then threw them all with her water tentacle at the wall.
Maximus took a sword in his mouth, and went on a ferocious, swinging frenzy, and the corrupted guards we're on the defensive end as three of them tried to block the horse's relentless onslaught. He caught all their swords and sent them flying in the air before quickly turning around and giving them a kick with his back legs and sent all three to the wall.
Cole created a series of small pebbles in his hand before sending them forward with enough force to knock down the corrupted prisoners in his direction. A few more we're coming toward him from behind before he created a large earth mound that rose with all of them on top; they slid down the mound right to Cole as he created a large stone gauntlet in his right arm and gave them a massive punch that knocked them all out with one hit.
Zane sent his arm forward and created a flurry that buried all the corrupted guards and prisoners in front of him with snow. One guard tried to stab him in the back, but his blade broke against Zane's titanium body. He turned around and grabbed the guard by the wrist before freezing his entire body solid.
Skylar was surrounded by at least seven guards. She smiled as she generated winds around her which gradually began to pick up with speed, until the guards found themselves swept up into the air and Skylar created a large wind vortex and swirled them all around before coming to a complete halt and they all slammed against the wall.
Wu held his staff in a defensive position. Four guards charged at him from all directions before he put his staff on the ground and jumped to the top, just as the guards collided into each other. Wu landed with grace back on the ground before three more guards ran at him and he delivered multiple quick jabs to their chests that sent them flying back.
One guard tried to strike Garmadon, only for him to grab the guard and use his own momentum to heave him over his shoulder and send him striking into two more incoming guards. Five guards surrounded him before charging and he delivered multiple quick strikes, while blocking their attacks, with incredible speed, that in less than a second, all the guards fell down.
All the heroes found themselves surrounded by dozens of unconscious bodies, and a few took pride in their work.
"Is that all of them?" Cole asked.
"I sense we have more incoming." Zane replied.
"We must get to the Golden Weapons." Garmadon advised.
"Yeah, that's gonna be a bit of a problem, look." Eugene pointed forward and they saw even more guards march towards them down the hall. "The Golden Weapons are in that direction to."
"How exactly are we gonna get past all of them?" Rapunzel asked.
"By clearing a path." Wu answered. "Ninjas…"
"Got it." Kai said as he, Wu, Lloyd, Nya, Garmadon, Jay, Skylar, Cole, and Zane all stood in front of Rapunzel, Max, Eugene, and Pascal (still on Rapunzel's shoulder)
"Ninja…GO!" all Nine Spinjitsu masters shouted before forming their own Spinjitsu tornadoes. Kai's was red, laced with fire; Lloyd's was bright green; Jay's was blue with lightning surging through it; Cole's was brown and rocks we're shown as he spun; Zane's was white with bits of ice in the tornado; Nya's was a mix of blue and red with water swirling with her; Skylar's was orange with air mixed in; Wu's was golden; and Garmadon's was a shiny silver.
All nine Spinjitsu tornados surged forward and began to knock away all the corrupted guards that we're in front of them.
Rapunzel, Eugene, Max, and Pascal continued to look with wide eyes.
"I so have to get them teach me to do that." Eugene stated.
"Come on, let's go!" Rapunzel urged as she, Max, and Eugene ran (with Pascal in tow) and we're right behind the nine Spinjitsu masters as they continued to spin and blow away all the bad guys in front of them, clearing a path.
Throne Room
The Overlord was present as we're Pythor, Gothel, and the Stabbington Brothers; they all took note of the Overlord's agitated expression.
"Those insects think they can get rid of me?" He turned to the Stabbington Brothers. "You two!"
"Yes?" They both frightenedly asked at the same time.
"They are heading to the vault, supposedly to retrieve the Golden Weapons. I want you down there to get them first before they can!" The Overlord commanded.
"You want us… against all of them?" The brother with the eye patch questioned.
"GO!" The Overlord shouted with bright red eyes and dark purple fire surrounding him.
"Yes sir!" They both exclaimed before running out of the throne room as fast as they could.
"Pythor." The Overlord started, getting the white serpentine's attention. He tossed him the Realm Crystal. "They must not get that crystal, protect it with your life!"
"As you wish, my lord." Pythor replied with a bow, holding the crystal.
"Gothel, be prepared to fight." The Overlord told her.
"Of course." She replied.
"Remember, do not abandon me! Our fates are connected; if I fall, you fall with me!" He reminded her.
Gothel gave a sigh of contempt before speaking. "Yes, how could I forget?"
The Overlord and his two followers then left the throne room.
Streets of Corona
The remaining Elemental Masters continued their fight against the corrupted kingdom, which now involved many corrupted civilians. Despite being outnumber at least twenty-to-one, the Masters we're more than capable of holding their own; however, due to being forced to hold back as their enemies are brainwashed men, women, and children; and they will get tired eventually, it feels like running up against a brick wall.
Karloff, still coated in metal, grabbed one corrupted man and threw him away. His metal body protected him from many attacks before he bashed away all the corrupted men that we're trying to strike him with knives.
Griffin sped though a crowd of corrupted men and women, taking away all their weapons and dropping them on the ground. He sped back to the same crowd and they vanished in a flash; before a white streak sped across the roofs and all the men and women reappeared again, hanging off the roof by the collars of their clothes.
Shade found himself completely surrounded by at least a dozen corrupted civilians before pulling his arms back and sending them outright forward, unleashing a large wave of shadows that engulfed everyone present. When the shadows subsided, all the enemy we're unconscious.
Bolobo yelled as he raised his staff and multiple vines burst from the ground, which ensnared and tangled all the corrupted men and women around them, keeping them all tightly restrained while he did his best not to harm any of them.
Camille jumped back to avoid betting hit with a blade from a corrupted woman before transforming and taking the form of a lion, which pounced on the woman and she lightly banged the woman's head on the ground, knocking her unconscious. Camille then transformed into an octopus, in which her tentacles wrapped around multiple corrupted civilians and she kept them suspended in the air.
Gravis saw that at least ten corrupted civilians were running towards him from a nearby alleyway. He sent his arm forward and a huge gravity wave sent all ten of them flying backwards into the nearby wall.
Ash wrapped his arm around the neck of a man and put him in a sleeper hold. His body took the form of smoke as he fell back and saw three men and two women coming towards him. He sent a cloud of smoke at them, creating a smokescreen to blind them. As they coughed and cover their eyes, they couldn't see Ash coming in and knocking them all out quickly just as the smokescreen disappeared.
Tox continued to strike with her poisonous nails at anyone that came near her. She kept the poison down low so that it would only, temporarily paralyze them, and not kill them. One man tried to strike her with a butcher's knife, but she swerved to the side and struck him in the side. A woman tried to hit her with a rake, but she kicked the blade off the stick and gave a strike to the neck.
Invizable kept himself completely camouflaged and all the civilians looked around and couldn't see him. One-at-a-time, they each felt a hit in the back of the head and they all fell the ground unconscious as Invizable made himself visible again.
Jacob kept streaming his guitar and sent powerful sound waves to all the corrupted people that came near him, keeping them all at bay. As he found himself surrounded more and more, he played a certain sound that sent a wave all around him and it created a high pitch sound and all the men and women covered their ears before he sent a large wave that knocked them all back from sheer force.
Neuro flipped one man over his back, and sent him into another man. He sent a psychic wave forward at an incoming woman that knocked her unconscious. A corrupted little girl leapt towards his face with a knife in hand, but he caught her and sent a small mind wave that quickly put her to sleep and he set her down gently.
All eleven Elemental Masters came together in the town square and were surrounded by many more corrupted civilians.
"Damn, it's like an endless wave of these guys!" Griffin exclaimed.
"We can't keep this up forever, we'll give way to fatigue eventually." Neuro stated.
"We can't give up now, we never give up." Shade said with determination.
"Us Elemental Masters win this!" Karloff said with determination as well, as he slammed his metal fists together.
"Whatever you say, Metal-head." Tox told him "I'm with you."
Each Master readied his or her own element and stood their ground as all the corrupted civilians came closer to them.
The nine Spinjitsu tornadoes cleared away al the corrupted guards and they stopped, allowing the nine warriors to regain their footing, just as Rapunzel and her friends came up behind them.
"Now, is that all of them?" Kai asked
"I think so." Skylar hopped.
They all came to large metal door at the end of the hall.
"That's the vault." Eugene revealed.
"Great, now lets get the weapons and teach the Overlord a thing or two about taking what doesn't belong to him." Rapunzel stated as Cole and Lloyd pulled the doors open, only to reveal; much to their shock, the vault was empty.
"What?!" Kai, Cole, Jay, Eugene, and Garmadon exclaimed at the same time.
"It's empty?!" Rapunzel, Nya, and Skylar questioned simultaneously as well.
"Where are the Golden Weapons?" Lloyd questioned.
"You mean these?"
They all turned around and looked in surprise at the Stabbington Brothers; each bearing their own sinister smile. The one in green without the eye patch had the Sword of Fire in his left hand and the Nunchucks of Lightning in his right hand. The one in black with the eye patch had the Scythe of Quakes in his right hand, and the Shurikens of Ice in his left hand.
"Aw crud." Jay said.
"Put those weapons down!" Garmadon commanded.
"Sorry, not gonna happen." One brother said.
"The Overlord wants all of you guys gone, and maybe these things may help us do just that." The other brother said as he admired one of the weapons.
"You do not even understand what they are, he who covets power will be consumed in his own greed." Wu stated.
"We're in no mood for a lecture, grandpa!" the brother in green said as he sent a large ball of fire with the Sword of Fire.
Kai retaliated with a fireball of his own; both fire balls collided and created a shockwave; the heroes we're blown back to one side and the brothers, the other.
The brother in black quickly got up and slammed the Scythe of Quakes into the ground, which shook the stone ceiling and it begun to collapse. Wu formed his Spinjitsu tornado again and sent the seven Ninja, Rapunzel and her friends, a distance away just as a large mound of stone collapsed creating a thick rock wall.
"Sensei!" Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, and Nya shouted.
"Dad!" Lloyd shouted as well; with Rapunzel and Eugene sharing looks of worry as they all ran to the stone wall.
"Sensei Wu! Garmadon! Are you guys okay?!" Rapunzel shouted.
"Dad! You there?!" Lloyd shouted to.
On the other side; both Wu and Garmadon stood up as they heard their students and friends call their names.
"Yes, we are fine." Wu assured, earning a sigh of relief from everyone present.
"Stand back, I'll get you guys out in a minute." Cole stated as he readied his powers.
"No! Do not waste your time with us!" Garmadon called back. "Your work lies elsewhere."
"But we can't leave you guys here." Lloyd stated.
"Please, we need you!" Rapunzel exclaimed.
"You each have your own inner strength." Wu began. "In each of you lies a power, a power that only you can understand. Use that power to aid you; you must do everything in your power to stop the Overlord. Go Ninja, go!
Kai sighed. "There right, we gotta go now."
They all then regrettably made their way down the tunnel; Rapunzel stopped briefly and looked back before taking a deep sigh and running off with her friends.
The Stabbington Brothers stood up with the Golden Weapons in hand and looked as Wu and Garmadon both stood together, facing the two.
"So, we're gonna fight a couple of old guys?" One brother guessed.
"Talk about a waste of time." The other brother stated.
Wu and Garmadon both looked at each other and shared cocky smiles before running quickly at the Stabbington Brothers; before either of them could react, the senseis we're each in front of them. Wu kicked away the Sword of Fire from one, just as Garmadon did the same for the Shurikens of Ice. They both jumped, while planting there feet both on the back of the Stabbingtons' heads and knocked them face-first on the ground; Wu grabbed the sword in the air, and Garmadon grabbed the Shurikens.
Both senseis landed gracefully a few feet away in the large dungeon hallway just as the Stabbington Brothers struggled up and had surprised expressions on their faces as they looked at their hands and find they we're already missing two of the weapons.
"You call us 'old'." Garmadon began.
"We prefer the term 'experienced'." Wu finished. "You really should show more respect to your elders."
Both Stabbington Brothers got angry as they stood up with the Scythe of Quakes and Nunchucks of Lightning; while the brothers that we're Wu and Garmadon, stood together, ready to fight.
Dark Skies above Corona
The corrupted Ultra Dragon flew as it chased Destiny's Bounty through the air. It blasted dark purple fire, purple lightning, dark ice, and dark boulders from each of its mouths as the flying ship soared at high speeds and swerved to the sides to try and avoid all the attacks.
Pixal was still doing her best to steer the ship. "I do not know how long we can keep dodging for. If we do not take offensive action, we will be shot down."
"Don't worry, we're not gonna be a sitting target for long." Misako assured as she stood next to the female droid.
Ronin and Dareth we're now sitting at the cannons on the sides of the ship; Dareth was on the left side, and Ronin at the right side. They both then shot electric energy balls towards the Ultra Dragon, which was able to avoid all of them.
"You got any experience shooting cannons Dareth?" Ronin called to him.
"I got the highest score at the bottles at this one carnival!" Dareth called back.
"Oh brother." Ronin grimaced as the air chase continued and both parties tried to shot the other, and neither attack hit. "If we survive this, I am going to send a massive bill to those ninja!"
Kai, Lloyd, Rapunzel, Nya, Skylar, Eugene, Cole, Zane, Jay, Max (with Pascal) all ran into the prison yard, having just escaped the dungeon. They all looked upwards at the castle.
"Okay, odds are the Overlord is at the top, in the throne room." Kai stated.
"Yeah, I can sense his power from here." Lloyd stated.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Rapunzel urged.
"Whoa, Rapunzel hold on a second." Eugene stopped her. "We need a plan."
"Are you guys forgetting when we tried to fight him, he blew us away like we're nothing!" Jay reminded. "The whole point of us coming through the back was to get the Golden Weapons, which we couldn't! And now how in the hell are we gonna stop him if all we have is the same amount that couldn't stop him last time?!" Jay yelled.
"Are you done?" Nya questioned.
Jay sighed. "Yes."
"We will find a way. We always do." Zane stated.
"I'm not sure how much help I can be to you guys though, I'd just probably get in the way." Rapunzel said with doubt evident in her voice.
"Sensei Wu said we all had a gift, he was talking about you to." Lloyd began. "You have a gift, and I know you can help us."
Rapunzel smiled. "Thanks Lloyd."
"Guys, we got company!" Skylar stated as they looked up on the stairs and saw multiple corrupted guards running toward them.
"Just how many guards do you guys have?!" Cole exclaimed to Rapunzel.
"Uh… sorry?" She tried with a nervous smile.
"We don't have time for this!" Kai exclaimed. "Going up!"
Kai, Jay, Lloyd, Cole, and Zane twirled around as they each formed their respective Airjitsu vortex, and each took in an extra passenger. Kai took in Skylar, Rapunzel rode with Lloyd, Jay had Nya, Zane took in Maximus with Pascal, and Cole had Eugene with him. All five vortexes took to the air just as the corrupted guards came towards them.
All five flew at fast rates up towards the castle. They managed to circle around the side until they got to a large balcony where they all touched down. They wasted no time in running into the castle.
As they continued to run, they couldn't help but notice they had encountered no resistance so far; it looked as if the entire castle was abandoned. They all came to a stop just before the large door that leads to the throne room.
"This is it, you guys ready?" Lloyd asked; to which all seven Ninjas, Eugene, Maximus, even Pascal nodded.
Rapunzel was a little shaky as she was quite nervous. She took a deep breath before speaking and taking out her frying pan. "I'm ready."
The door was blown open and everyone all ran in battle-ready. Kai had both his hands on fire; Lloyd's hands surged with green energy; Jay's we're lit with lightning; Zane's hands had ice coming from them; Cole's arms we're coated in earth gauntlets; Nya's arms we're surrounded in water once more; Skylar had a ball of wind at the ready with both her hands; Rapunzel and Eugene each had a frying pan at the ready, and Maximus had a sword in his mouth.
But, to their surprise, no one was there. It was just a throne room, with no one sitting on the throne.
"Uh, isn't there supposed to be an incarnation of evil here?" Skylar questioned.
"Or at least a white snake; or a narcissistic, hundred year old hag?" Cole added.
They all slowly walked into the seemingly empty throne room.
"Maybe he turned tail and left?" Eugene guessed.
"Not his style, he's never one to retreat." Kai said.
"He's here, I can feel it." Lloyd stated as he can still feel his dark energy. Rapunzel can sense the same kind of thing to, and it was something that made her shudder in fear.
Before anything else can be said; each of the heroes felt a strong force around them as a dark purple aura surrounded them and kept them frozen in place.
"What the? Who's doing this?!" Jay exclaimed. "I can't move!"
"It's him!" Rapunzel yelled.
The next thing that happened was the same force pulled them all out of the throne room and into the hall, and they continued to be pulled down the hall; during this, the same force pulled Eugene, Max, along with Pascal, down one adjacent hallway to the right.
"Eugene!" Rapunzel called as he vanished from their sight.
Nya and Skylar we're both pulled down another adjacent hall to the left.
"Nya!" Jay shouted.
"Skylar!" Kai shouted as well as both girl ninjas vanished.
Kai, Rapunzel, Lloyd, Cole Jay, and Zane we're both pulled outside and they fell off a balcony and landed hard in the massive garden courtyard at the front end of the castle.
Eugene, Max, and Pascal landed on the hard floor of a large chamber that was decorated with multiple knight armors across the walls. Eugene and the two animals slowly got up.
"You guys okay?" He asked as they nodded to them.
"But not for long, as I'm pleased to say."
They both turned around to see Pythor holding an Anacondrai blade, looking at both of them with a sinister smile.
Nya and Skylar both stopped and rolled on the floor of a large chamber, the very same one that Rapunzel's crown was once guarded for many years during her time at Gothel's tower.
"That was strange." Skylar stated.
"Where are we?" Nya asked out loud.
"Where you two are meant to be."
They both looked at the entrance where Gothel stood. "Hello ladies." She greeted.
"Gothel." Nya said with contempt as they both glared at the holder woman.
"So you must be my daughter's newest friends." Gothel started.
"She is not your daughter." Skylar told her. Gothel reminded her too much of her own father.
"Well then, I suppose if you two aren't in the mood for talking, then I guess it's time for the both of you to die." Gothel mused as her hands surged with purple electricity.
Nya and Skylar took combat stances, ready with their own respective element.
Rapunzel got up, as did Kai, Lloyd, Jay, Cole, and Zane. They looked around at the large courtyard they were currently in.
"Why do I have a feeling we're expected?" Lloyd mused.
As soon as he said that; dark purple dust formed in the center of the courtyard and all six watched as it rose from the ground, dark golden dust was there as well. It swirled together, rising seven feet in height before ascending into the air and taking the shape of a humanoid. He was mostly made of dark purple energy, with a golden rib cage surrounding his chest; his arms we're like golden bones all the way to the hands with dark energy flowing around them; his belt looked like it was made from gold bones as well. His lower body looked like it was made from dark flowing energy A dark golden cape flowed from his neck to his feet. He had a black helmet, with a black featureless face; a fanged mouth and red eyes.
"Enough!" The Overlord shouted as all the heroes looked in fear, Rapunzel mostly, at him. "You may have gotten past my minions, but you will not defeat me! I am infinite! And I will destroy you all! The story of the Ninjas ends here!" He shouted as dark energy surrounded his body and he was ready to end his enemies.
"It's now or never guys, let's do this!" Kai shouted as he and all his friends readied themselves for the final battle.
Done. It's good to be back! I would like to thank you all for your support throughout this amazing story! I will be back with the ending soon. Be prepared to be blown away by what is to come next!
See you all next time!
