Halloween Party in Ninjago
Finally! This is the moment we've been all waiting for! The winner of the costume contest will be revealed & all I can say is that none of you would've seen it coming! XD Enjoy!
Chapter 5: A Halloween Surprise
It was less than an hour until the party was over but everyone was still having fun.
Soon, the winner of the costume contest will be announced and everyone was sending in their votes and those who already have can do little else but guess who the winner will be.
Finally, the time has arrived.
The host appeared back on stage for the moment everyone has been waiting for.
"Okay! Here's the official results for the costume contest! Each finalist will get their own prize but the grand winner will win one million dollars and cheap tabloid fame!"
"In fifth place is Jay Walker!"
The blue ninja let out an ecstatic cry before running up to the stage to claim his prize. Much to the inventor's delight, not only did he get several hundred dollars, but a Wii U to go with it!
"In fourth place is Lloyd!"
The green ninja was a little disappointed that he fell from the podium but was nonetheless glad that he was still within the top five. He was also pleased with his prize money of one thousand dollars as well as the new games and plenty of candy that came with it.
"Believe it or not, the third and second places are a tie!" The host said.
The three remaining ninjas and Nya were astonished but were still eager to find out who made the cut and which place they got.
"The two runner-ups are Nya and Zane!"
The samurai and nindroid were pleasantly surprised that they still got a lot of votes.
Their prizes included one hundred thousand dollars each, a brand new HD TV, and Blu-Ray's of the most popular movies out there.
With the remaining top five on the stage, now all that was left to reveal was the winner.
"And now," The host took a deep breath as he got ready to make the big announcement, "This is the moment we all have been waiting for. The winner of this year's costume contest is…"
As the drums rolled in their heads, Kai, Cole, and even Dareth leaned forward, hoping that one of them was the winner but…
"Pixal." The host announced.
"WHO!?" Kai and Cole both cried out in disbelief at the same time.
Much of the audience were confused too.
None of them heard of anyone named Pixal.
The ninjas had NO idea who this 'Pixal' was and who they went as but they were in for the big surprise. Displayed on a platform wheeling its way onto the stage was…
"A potato!?" The ninjas were flabbergasted at the little tuber with robotic parts attached to it.
"So Pixal, who are you dressed up as, exactly?" The host asked.
"I am GLaDOS in her potato form," A monotonous female voice spoke, "However, this isn't my true body for I still have my original body stored at my current residence for the moment."
"True body…?" The host was confused.
The ninjas were just as shocked as he was.
How was this Pixal girl, assuming that's her gender given her voice, able to switch bodies?
Was she even human?
"I can't believe this." Cole muttered in disbelief.
"We lost to a potato!?" Jay was still completely flabbergasted at the winner's 'costume'.
But Pixal was more than willing to explain her origins and how she made it all possible.
"Being an android myself, I merely transferred my consciousness into the machinery attached to the potato. Due to its natural density, it serves as a sturdy buffer for the electrical currents to run their course without being disrupted."
"Another android…?" Zane would've never thought he wasn't the only robot around…
"So why did you enter the costume contest?" The host continued with his questions.
"The money." Pixal answered.
Some of the attendees seemed appalled, assuming she was just in it for selfish reasons but the vegetable… robot… thingy… continued.
"I work for the Borg Industries that is still being built from the ground up by Cyrus Borg, who is also my creator. The prize money will give the industries the funds it needs to be a full-fledged company and Cyrus will also be most pleased by the money and prizes."
"Aw man," The host commended the robot, "Out of all the costumes I have seen, this is by far the most innovative! You didn't just wear a costume, but you even changed your body! Because of that, you are the winner of this year's costume contest! Now everyone, let's give a round of applause for Pixal!"
The audience clapped as the selfless android in the form of a vegetable claimed her prize in the form of a huge check signed 'one million dollars' and basked in the spotlight. The finalists also took their final bows before the party was over.
"Well, there you have it folks!" The host stepped up to end the party, "We have our winners! I hope you all had a great time at the party! Let's give a round of applause to the winners and I'll be seeing you all next year!"
The party was over but the ninjas and Nya stayed behind.
The group stood out under the full moon while everyone else left the convention center.
"I would've never thought we'd lose to a vegetable…" Kai was still in disbelief from the results.
"I have to admit, Pixal's idea of transferring her consciousness to another body is impressive." Zane confessed.
"Even though none of us won, I have to say, this was pretty fun." Cole admitted.
"Yeah! At least we got some cool prizes!" Jay showed off his new Wii U.
"Shut it." Kai grumbled, still sour that he didn't even get to the top five.
"There's always next year, Kai." Zane reminded his fiery brother.
"You seem pretty impressed with Pixal's costume." Nya noted.
It seems like Pixal already got an admirer…
"Until now, I thought I was the only nindroid around. Perhaps I'll have the chance to see Pixal's real body one day…"
"Yeah… sure…" Cole dismissed his robotic brother but had nothing against him being curious.
"So now that the party's over, I guess we should get going, right?" Kai asked.
"Wait! Let's see how this ends!" Lloyd hissed, pointing at the scene going on not too far away.
Although the guests were leaving, Dareth still hasn't given up…
"Say, do you girls have a map?" The wannabe asked a group of girls dressed up as princesses, "I keep getting lost in your eyes."
"Creep!"
"Loser!"
The girls threw a bunch of insults while beating down the crudely dresses werewolf, though the ninjas and Nya weren't surprised.
"Dareth… Are you alright…?" Zane asked once the girls left and the dust has settled.
"What is it you guys have that I don't?" The brown ninja lamented.
"Well for starters, we have actual powers," Kai started, "Not to mention, actual good looks- "
"Kai!" Nya hissed as she jabbed his elbow.
"Don't let those shallow fangirls get to you, Dareth," Cole offered some comforting words, "At least you have a special place with us ninjas."
"R-really…?" Dareth looked like he was going to cry tears of joy.
"Yeah! You're the perfect fangirl repellent!" Jay exclaimed.
The whole group, even Dareth, laughed under the midnight sky.
All in all, this was a great Halloween.
And there you have it folks!
Pixal is the winner of the costume contest!
If any of you ever heard my rant, you'd know that I have a love/hate feeling towards Pixal but I just HAD to put her in the story as potato!GLaDOS since this is supposed to take place in the canon universe! I just think it's something she'd definitely do! XD
So yeah, that's the end of this Halloween special & I hope you all have a great Halloween!
