Hello everyone! I'm trying to cram in some writing for you guys in case I slack off again. Once again, thank you KNinjagoNexoFan47391 for all of your ideas and support. Anyways, let's jump right into the chapter.
"It's the ninja. They're in trouble." Chase's hands shook uncontrollably. He was trying to prevent the possibilities of what exactly had happened to his beloved ninja, but when fire is involved in a vision, it's hard to keep the worry at bay.
"What kind of trouble? Did you see anything?" Sensei Wu was frantic for answers. And so was Chase.
"I saw…fire."
"Fire?" Chase nodded. He couldn't sit still any longer. "I'm going after them." Chase stood up.
"What? No, you can't. It's too dangerous."
"I have to try." He grabbed his hoodie and shoes and quickly dressed himself into a semi-appropriate outfit for the raging rainstorm outside.
He didn't know how he was going to get there, until he spotted a black motorcycle hiding in the corner of the garage of the bounty.
Chase ran up to it, and without a second thought, rolled it out of the open garage. He didn't know how to ride it, but he didn't have time to think. With a closer look, he realized it was a dirt bike. He switched it on, mounted it, and was off, the rain soaking his skin and the dark clouding his vision.
He knew they were on a very important mission. How to get there? He had no idea. He turned the bike to full throttle and zoomed down the vacated roads of the city, wobbling just slightly as he adjusted to the feel of it.
After an hour of riding and worrying and knowing he was running out of time, he stopped, catching his breath. Who knew riding an electric bike was tiring? He looked around at the sky full of stars. Or it would be if it wasn't for the smoke. Smoke. Where was it coming from? He glanced around, looking for the source of the rising smoke. Smoke meant fire. Fire meant danger. And his vision of the ninja had danger written all over it.
In the haze, he couldn't see well, but the smoke seemed to be coming from the forest. So he headed in that direction, locating a hiking trail and trying to get as close as he could to the bulk of the smoke before he had to off-road.
After a bit, the trees were blocking his view of the sky, so the smoke was out of his line of sight. And without that as a guide, reaching the ninja might take forever. So he decided to off-road. He bumped his front wheel over the flat wood that marked the trail and headed downwards into a possibly hazardous zone.
The overgrown shrubbery and possible poison ivy that brushed his legs were ignored, his only concern being the state of the beloved ninja who took him in when he had nowhere else to go.
He prayed that they were okay, although from experience, fire never let you go unharmed if you were caught in its wrath.
He strove towards a spot where a patch of sky was clearly visible, and so was the smoke. He was getting closer.
Only when his worry was at its peak did he see something black and towering peek through the trees.
Chase got closer, his heart sinking when he saw the fires that had wrecked a whole section of the building.
The site looked worse than he could have ever imagined, and it looked worse in real-life than in his blurry vision.
He dismounted the bike and gazed for an eternity at the destruction of this mysterious black building.
This kind of disaster was never a mistake. Someone wished harm upon another party. And right now, the only enemies he knew of were Garmadon and the ninja.
And that could only mean one thing. The ninja were trapped inside.
