The sun blooming through the day, now seeking into another side of the horizon. The sky was violent-blue in space, dazzling spots glittering sharing above the dark skies. Time passed by for certain Ninjas and the rest of the family dealing with the humongous problem caused by Lloyd's father. In the bounty, inacted and stayed in one spot, the Ninjas suggested about how to rescue Cole. No progress acceded or planned by the young teens. Ninja's teacher, Wu, sleeping peacefully and Lloyd somewhere in the bounty. On the training deck, Kai, Zane, and Jay undermining the wooden floor for new planks, disburse with pecuniary they combine cash for the replacement. The fire caused by Kai, leaving damages from last night battle and the engine ruptured by Cole scythe. A big hole on the bounty while the Ninjas are replacing new boards.
"Sheesh Kai, you need *Hmmmp* to chill out when your fans just wanted to visit. Causing a LOT of mess!" Jay teased while he uses a crobar to dig into the wooden floor. Finally remove one plank of wood and toss it aside.
"Hey! Those 'fans' are not attractive. And they're, uhhh, I don't know what kind of gender they are! Still, no thanks!" Kai snapped while he uses a mace to slam the wooden deck, shards of splinter flies up.
Zane helps bringing new wooden floor boards for replacement of the deck. Coming from the chains, stacks of boards carried from his back as he lead them to the training deck. He reached to the clean bounty spot and knelt, placing the planks gently. As he grab planks from his back, he accidentally dropped all of them all of a sudden. Planks slammed on the wooden deck, creating noises throughout the bounty that is inevitable for the Ninjas to hear. Kai and Jay paused their work, placing their tools on the deck and went to the Ice Ninja, astonishing look with sudden pause.
The first response from Kai, worried of his brother, abruptly hesitate "Zane, are you-"
Zane interrupt, propelling himself "Shhh! I sensed a dark presence arriving nearby." Kai and Jay exchanging dry glances, they tossed and turns their body on their surroundings. Zane put his hood on, pulled out his shuriken, and somersault through the deck safely and carefully because the bounty is being demolished and the floor is eroded from noon. Zane lands on his feet and threw shurikens on the pole. The black blur move swiftly, avoiding Ninja Stars. Kai and Jay, drawing their weapons to their grasp. Zane went to their sides, all in fighting stance. The shadow stop his speed and the bounty light switch beamed the training deck. The Ninjas gasps, it was Cole, their leader... or what he used to be one.
"Cole?" Kai summon his leader name in gruesome howl.
"Hello fools. I am here to finish my job." Cole grinned evilly, drawing his scythe into his grasp, stiffened his scythe, and slipped into fighting stance.
Kai took few steps ahead, sadness written all over his face. What Zane explains before, he give it a shot "Cole, I know your inside somewhere. Remember your phrase, Cole. The time when you met all of us, we are unstable. Then you reminded us that we're a team. Don't forget that, Cole!"
Cole suddenly felt an ache simulating all over his body and his mind and his nerves. Losing concentration for a moment and held his head lightly. Zane hypothesis of Cole was right. But that doesn't last long what the Nindroid expected. Cole shook his head to snap out of his aching pain, striking his nerves. Eyed to the enemies once more with a growl.
"Your words are charming. Stop talking and fight! Unless, you're a coward." Cole taunted the Ninjas, swaying his hand to let them move forward and try to lay a finger on if they can.
The reckless warrior Kai, made his first move. His katana impacted against Cole defense of his scythe. Zane attempted to help his brother; mid leaped into the air and threw a shuriken. Fortunately for Cole, saw that coming and so he also uses a shuriken and threw the opponent's projectiles. Both collided with a spark and clang noises, both landed on the ground. Zane immobilized of his defenses and thinks to his feet.
Kai uses his free hand and punch Cole. Unfortunately, training together as brothers, dodge his attack and counter-attacked. But Kai was spared because Jay use his Nun chucks to defend the Fire Ninja. Cole flew back, shaking his hand in pain, feels like hitting a pole, a lot harder. Once his hand back to its state, back to his stance, Kai performed spinjitzu "Ninjaaaa-gooo!" A fire tornado surrounds Kai and charge the Earth Ninja without mercy. Cole kicks one of the plank boards and lift them with one hand and throw it to Kai. That stops his spinjitzu and crashes to him, plummeting to the wooden floor.
Jay saw Kai fell, taking over his spot and charge, flipping his Nun chucks with a battle cry. Confusing the Earth Ninja using Nun chucks. Cole may not able to dodge on right timming because his potential is speed, but he can defend his blow. With all his might, Cole grab one of the Nun chucks bar, sneering at the Lightning Ninja. Jay swallowed and so, Cole starting to perform spinjitzu.
"Ninjaaa-goo!" Sounded deep, scratchy voice than his original. His spinjitzu was visible with shade of darkness in his skill. He spin Jay as he screamed in panic. Cole loosen his grip and sent him flying. Crashing on to Kai and both groaned in pain. Zane leaped into the air, spinning 360 degree, threw multiple shurikens heading to Cole direction. The Earth Ninja leaped into the air, shurikens struck to the wooden floor. Cole threw his scythe towards Zane. Before he react, didn't knew he would threw his weapon, hit Zane on the chest. Zane landed on the bounty, gliding through the floor, and tilted his head at the edge of the hole- about to fall into the hole. While Zane tries to rise, a force of someone place their foot to his throat. Choking and struggling on Cole's strength pressuring and cut off his air flow. Zane watches his friend, his brother, been manipulated going to finish him off.
"You guys are so weak, pathetic." Cole sneered. Kai and Jay regains their body and saw Zane suffocating by their leader. Before the Ninjas react, even Cole, a force whacked Cole off of Zane. Zane gasp for air to function his mechanical vision and reaction. As Zane adjusted his concertration, he felt someone hand on his arm. Sensei and Lloyd help him to his feet. Cole crashes to the ground and in instant, he rose from the ground and clenched his teeth.
"Cole!" Sensei began "You've done enough damage! Leave at once and leave my students alone!"
'Why would Sensei said to Cole like that? He's your student and our friend, our brother!' Kai thought.
'Why Sensei? Was there no prospects of saving Cole back to our leader?' Zane thought, sadly looking at Sensei.
Lloyd rushes to Kai and Jay quietly. Cole remember his command to stay away from him. From the corner of his eye, Cole saw the Green Ninja. What Lord Garmadon wanted and most desirable for his safety, he got an idea. Pulling out from his pocket, Ninja smokescreen. He have enough to consume the ship in darkness to flee. Before anyone react, Cole threw the smokescreen down to the ground, darkening the area of the Ninjas and the bounty. The Ninjas tries to see through, then Zane uses his power to light up the smoke. The Ninjas and Sensei follow the source of light.
"Is anyone alright?" Sensei asked his students and nephew.
"Here," Kai yelled, responding his teacher reply. Along with his friends.
"I'm A okay!" Jay bellowed.
"I am here." Zane replied.
"Lloyd?" Sensei said, worried. No answer.
Once the smoke faded, the Ninjas and Sensei finally adjusted their personal space and the flooring on the training deck. They noticed Cole escaped but Lloyd was absent. Sensei eyes widen and instructed his students, predicting Cole mission was to claim the Green ninja.
"My fellew students! Find Cole and Lloyd! And hurry!"
Kai, Jay, and Zane nodded. In a rush, they went to the rail and toss their body over the rail and landed on the ground. They found foot prints on the ground and starting tracking down their brother and rescuing Lloyd from Cole.
