Ninja: Zane, Auria, Cole, Christa's
Everyone stood frozen in place, as they watch the arrow pierce Auria's chest. She stood with her arms out protectively in front of Cole and Christa, as she heard her sister scream out her name. Auria's hands started to tremble from the pain of the strike, but she kept herself as still as she could so that she wouldn't topple over. Determination to protect her loved ones was present in her facial expression, as she asked,
"A-Are you t-two alright?"
Christa was somewhat relieved that her sister spoke, but she was highly worried about her. Zane was shocked, and fearful for Auria because he wasn't sure on how to help her, since she was a Cynoichi, and he was scared that she would collapse and never wake up. Cole was bewildered by Auria's action, but he was able to regain his speech when he heard her speak.
"W-Why... Why w-would you do this Auria? I... It shouldn't be you. It should've been m-me," Cole said, while stuttering.
Auria turned towards Cole slowly, with a small smile on her face, which made Cole's eyes widen even more. Then Auria replied,
"Y-You were willing to d-die for my sister... my d-dearest little sister... I-I've always wanted her t-to be with someone w-who would do that... That's why... if anything h-happens to me...at least I know that... I l-left her in good hands... with you, Cole."
Cole's eyes started to moisten, as Christa held her hand to her mouth with tears streaming down her eyes. Zane's bottom lip began to quiver, as his eyes started to fill with tears.
"One almost down, three more to actually take down," the crazed person said to the lizarian behind the cross bow.
Auria turned around and was able to grab her Wind fans from the sides of her belt, as she attached them together to form one large fan. Then she charged the large fan with wind, although she winced from the arrow still lodged in her chest. Auria was ready to attack the crossbow tower, as the lizarian and crazed person were reloading the crossbow.
'She can't attack it like this, but her will is not tameable at this point,' Zane thought as he continued running towards her.
"Hurry up and load it-" the crazed person said, but cut off when he noticed two forces about to whip him, the lizarain, and the tower he was standing on.
Zane stood next to Auria as he kept one arm around her shoulders, and his other hand on her hand that held the large Wind fan. Auria looked towards Zane, with slightly glossy eyes, as Zane looked at her with sadness in his eyes. Then Auria noticed that Zane's hand was glowing light blue, as he was adding his ice to her wind-enhanced fan to make it stronger. Zane nodded towards Auria, as she nodded back, and then they turned towards the crossbow tower.
Zane and Auria moved their hands that were holding the Wind fan, and then they upward slashed towards where the tower was, as a powerful gust of ice and wind shot towards the tower. On impact, the ice gust exploded in a whirlwind of ice that encased the tower along with the two on top of it. Their screams of pain were heard, and cracking and shattering was heard as the tower was being broken apart piece by piece until it was obliterated. The two on top of the tower were thrown away from it before it was destroyed, and they broke straight into a building that was close by from the windows. After the ice whirlwind destroyed the tower and left it in a broken pile of pieces, it dispersed into the air.
After this, Zane felt Auria grow heavier, as she fell back into his arms. Zane knelt down on the ground, while he was holding Auria in his arms. Cole and Christa came closer to them, as Cole stood on one side of Auria, and Christa stood near her sister's head.
"Oh Auria," Zane nearly whispered, as a single tear fell down his cheek.
"Sister, a-are you alright?" Christa asked, worried that if her sister closed her eyes that she may not open them again.
"Please. Hang in there Auria. W-We'll get you back to the Bounty. Just PLEASE hang in there," Cole said, as his shoulders started to tremble.
"P-Please. Don't be s-so sad... I'm happy to s-see that your all safe," Auria said, with a small smile, although a little bit of a red substance was dripping from the side of her mouth.
"How can we not sister?! We love you. We ALL love you! I can't lose you! Not like before... please Auria! Don't die!" Christa said, as she placed her hand near the side of Auria's face.
Auria smiled at Christa and said, "Your strong Christa... stay strong..."
Auria winced, as she closed her eyes for a moment from the pain in her chest.
"Oh Auria," Christa said, as she lowered her head and let her tears flow.
Then screeching and movement was heard, as Cole and Zane looked up to see a group of lizarians coming their way to attack. Cole stood up on his feet, as he looked towards the group of lizarians, and Zane looked up at him and noticed the intensity in his eyes grow dark and angry.
"I've had enough of these darn monsters... I've had enough of ALL OF THIS!" Cole said, as he started walking towards the lizarians with clenched fist that were glowing brown with rocks floating around them.
"Cole," Zane said, but he stopped because he knew that Cole wasn't going to hear him.
"You freaks... I'll break ALL of you... I'll BREAK ALL OF YOU!" Cole screamed out, as his eyes started to glow a silvery brown, and he changed into his Full Potential.
Then Cole charged towards the lizarian group, as he started attacking them with full strength and utterly annihilating them with each attack he used. He would punch and kick the lizarians, and then he would raise the ground so that the lizarian would hit it and bounce back towards him so that he could hit them again. Then he stomped the ground and broke it open so that the lizarians would fall in, and then he would close the ground up so that they would be crushed. Also, Cole started to shoot Earth spikes from his hands at the lizarians and stave them with each strike without missing, while saying,
"How do YOU like it!"
During Cole's onslaught on the lizarians, Zane was examining Auria's wound, and he estimated that they still had enough time to bring her to the Bounty and have Sensei Reine and his father treat her wound, considering that Sensei Reine did help fix Auria into a cyborg. Christa was helping her sister to stay awake, although it wasn't much work since Auria was doing pretty well to stay up.
However Christa felt that something wasn't right. She looked up to see that Cole was still fighting the lizarians and defeating them easily, but that he was still using his Full Potential. After a moment to think about it, Christa realized that Cole was exceeding the limits of his Full Potential since seven minutes past.
"H-He has to stop... He can't exceed the limit for long or he might..." Christa said, as her eyes widened and she stood up on her feet.
"Please Christa, stop him. I'll take care of her," Zane said, as he held Auria more firmly.
Christa nodded, and then she hurried over to where Cole was, although she kept her distance since he was still fighting.
"Cole! Stop!" Christa cried out while cupping her mouth with her hands.
Cole turned towards Chirsta, with a distraught expression of rage, as he was breathing heavily. Christa's eyes widened, and then she said,
"You have to stop! You've already exceeded five minutes in Full Potential form! You have to cut it off!"
Cole took a moment to think about it, but then he replied, "No! I can't! Not after what happened to her! I won't let them hurt anyone of us again! I won't let ANYONE hurt US!"
Cole turned around towards another group of lizarians, who were coming his way, and he punched the ground as it cracked towards them. Then the ground sunk in underneath the lizarians, as they fell and screamed when they were staved by earth spikes near the bottom of the hole.
'Eight minutes,' Christa thought, keeping track of time, as she ran closer to Cole.
"Please Cole! You have to stop now! I know it hurts to see people we care about get hurt..." Christa said, as tears started falling down her cheeks, and then she added,
"But it would hurt more if we lost YOU too!"
Cole's eyes widened and he gasped in realization of what Christa was saying. He looked towards her and noticed the tears falling down her cheeks, and that she was struggling to stand in place since the Earth near her was shifting in reaction to him.
"Christa. I... I'm so sorry. I thought..." Cole said, and trailed off.
"It okay, just, please calm down," Christa said, as she lowered her hands down.
'Nine minutes,' Christa thought, as she hoped he would cut off his Full Potential now.
Cole breathed in and out slowly, as his Full Potential conceded and he turned back to normal. Cole looked behind him to see the destruction he caused, and he whistled and said,
"Man... This power is no joke."
As Cole turned around, Christa tackle hugged him, although they didn't fall down. Christa nuzzled her head into his chest, as Cole smirked and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm sorry about that," Cole said, as he frowned.
Christa looked up at him and said, "I forgive you Cole, and I understand why you did that. You wanted to protect everyone. I feel the same way, but we need to keep our heads together, okay?"
Cole nodded, and then they parted from their hug. Cole and Christa started quickly walking towards where Zane and Auria were. However, Cole started to slow down his pace, as he started to see hazy and he slowly lost feeling in his feet. A few feet away from Zane and Auria, Cole fell on his knees, and then he fell on his stomach and face. Christa heard Cole fall on his knees, and when she turned around, he was on the ground, unconscious.
Christa ran next to Cole and knelt down next to him, and said with worry,
"Cole! Cole! Oh no. Please Cole, wake up!"
Christa gently shook the Earth ninja to wake him up, but it was to no avail. He didn't budge, but Christa knew that he was still alive since she could hear his heart beating.
"We need to leave now," Zane said, as he stood up while carrying Auria in his arms.
At this point, Auria was half unconscious. Christa looked up at Zane and asked,
"B-But, what do we do?"
"We leave Ninjago city and bring both of them to Sensei Reine and my father. I'm sure they'll know what to do," Zane said, as his Platinum ice shurikens started to glow from the side of his belt.
Then a flash occurred, which made Christa look away for a moment, and then when she turned back to Zane, he was on his Platinum vehicle with Auria laying in the backseat.
"Let's go," Zane said to Christa, and she nodded.
Christa was able to lift Cole, as her Platinum gauntlets started to glow, and then a flash occurred.
Christa stood on her own Platinum vehicle, as Cole stood laying on the backseat.
"Let's hurry," Christa said, and Zane nodded towards her.
Zane and Christa drove as fast as they could to escape Ninjago city, with their loved ones in the backseats, clinging to life.
Ninja: Kai, Flare, Jay, Nya:
A moment of silence consumed the air, as Flare returned to her normal form in exactly five minutes, which was just enough to take care of the group of lizarians that stood in the sidelines. Flare took a moment to breath and compose herself, as Jay struggled to move towards Nya, and Kai was able to sit up with his legs only, although his arms were still messed up and numb.
Then Flare quickly turned around and assessed the situation that they were in, and thought,
'Okay... Nya is likely poisoned and she can't move, Jay can't move one of his legs and his arm is spazzing out, and Kai... his arms are all messed up... Hm... I can summon my vehicle, but I can only carry one person, but Jay might be able to... Wait, that's it!'
Flare quickly headed towards Kai, as she said, "Guys I have an idea."
"What is it?" Jay asked, as he stood sitting next to Nya, while his arm punched him in his face.
"Ouch!" -Jay
Flare knelt down next to Kai, as she caressed his cheek with a sad expression and said, "I'm so sorry Kai. If I would have fought earlier-"
Kai cut her off and said, "Don't beat yourself up about it. You still fought to save us anyway, thank you Flare."
Flare smiled, although sadness still present in her eyes, as she lightly kissed Kai on his cheek, which brought a pink tint to his face.
"Alright..." Flare said, as she held her Platinum scimitar and it glowed brightly until it flashed.
Then Flare stood on her Platinum vehicle, while Kai stood in the back seat.
"Jay, can you summon your vehicle with wheels?" Flare asked the Lightning ninja.
"Uh, I can try," Jay said, as he held onto his Platinum nunchunks with his good hand and tried to summon his vehicle.
It worked, and after the flash, Jay was in his Platinum vehicle, along with Nya in the backseat. The jet-like platinum vehicle stood on the ground with three wheels to keep it up. Then Flare drove her vehicle in front of Jay's, and shadow claws came from the sides of her vehicle and grasped onto the sides of Jay's.
"I'll drive, and you just follow the best you can. We're getting out of here," Flare said to Jay, and he nodded.
"Let's go-OW!" Jay said, as his hand slapped him across the face.
Then they drove off, heading out of Ninjago city.
