Chapter 7
Nindroid and Master Wu cut everyone off from handcuffs. Most of them still felt too much stunned to know what really happened. All they knew was that their powers were taken away from them.
Pixal approached Emmet and un-cuffed him, and as soon as she did, he ran up to Rex's body.
"Rex! Rex! Rex! Wake up!" He screamed shaking him lightly, but he still looked lifeless.
The Builder's call caught the attention of others, especially Cole, who approached them immediately.
"What happened to him?"
"Oni did something to him... I think she took all his energy..." He was sobbing, keeping Rex close to himself. I think she was trying to kill me, and... and he saved me.
"His soul, which was connected to the power, was taken away from him", Wu said, "but his body is still alive. The pulse is barely felt, so we don't have much time. We have to break her tiara, and then we will regain power and free Rex's soul. We have to..."
"Wait a minute" Cole interjected. "It's like Rex could be dead in a minute. It's gonna take too long to repel her attack and we don't know if we're gonna win."
"That's right" Master Wu confirmed it. "He'll last no longer than half an hour, but I can give him my life force to extend his body functions by about two hours. Maybe a little more, but if the soul does not return to the body by now, Rex will die" He sat on his knees and put his hand on Rex's chest and started to emanate a golden light.
"How do we stop Oni?" Lloyd asked.
"I'm the only one with power and I learned Spinjitzu. I don't know if that's enough to defeat a demon, but I have to try." He said trying to sound as confident as possible. He was ready for anything. He couldn't let his friend go, or at least not by trying to save him. "But I will need all the help I can get."
***
A large, navy blue cloud appeared from nowhere above the small towns that were not far apart. Mighty lightning struck the houses, the ground was shaking. The fire was absorbing the houses, ice was freezing. People tried to avoid extremely unnatural and dangerous weather phenomena, but not everyone was lucky. Those who survived had to avoid the bodies of the dead. Most of them did not help the wounded. and they ran away.
She now decided to move to the capital because she knew that its destruction would cause the greatest panic among people who would try to avoid the destruction of the world without success.
Suddenly, the blue laser almost hit her corner, but she managed to create a protective barrier around her that stopped another laser hit. She turned around and saw the Ninja and Masters in advanced vehicles and mechs.
The second part of the team had already entered the city to help people escape. The green Ninja told the police to tell the citizens to leave the city immediately.
"You amaze me" She smiled at them." You don't have any power, you just sit in those miserable machines. You can't even match me with them."She squeezed the fist that lit the fire and shot one of the combat vehicles. She missed because the machine managed to escape because of its speed.
She felt something wrapped around her leg and then pulled her down hard, hitting the roof.
"I guess you forgot there was still power left, you demon."
Emmet was getting ready to kick, but his opponent reacted quickly, avoided his leg and shot him with lightning. That knocked him out, hitting the windows of another block and falling into an empty hallway. He got up, jumped out of there and dragged her into a Spinjitzu.
During this time, the allies tried to attack her while taking care not to shoot him. She flew up and was followed by mech led by Pixal. Inokirtes had previously grabbed Emmet by the hair. He was paralyzed by the poison element.
"I already told you something." At a rapid rate of descent, she conjured up a lump of ice that hit the mech. She damaged the big robot with a cannon that was built into his hand. It kept going down more and more until it hit its enemy in the ground. "None of you can match me, and neither can you."
Emmet tried to get up, but he couldn't get up, even though the poison stopped working. The muscles hurt too much for them to move. What she did with him and told him touched him. He felt they could really lose it.
Inokirtes returned to the fight and began to destroy mechs, so the masters had to flee from inside the vehicles and fight with ordinary plasma guns against her.
Brickowsky tried to get up again. He could not let them all down, he could not lose now. If he loses, Rex dies, everyone can die. He coughed, a little blood flew from his mouth. Why am I so weak?
The big part of the block started falling apart, and then it broke. It fell right on the warriors who were trying to escape a fatal blow. Some of them covered their heads with their hands while agreeing to die, but nothing fell on them.
It all happened literally in a few seconds. Emmet's right hand lit up and a sparkling lotus flower tattoo appeared on his hand. Exactly the same was the stone, legendary glove that turned out to be false. Or at least that's what they thought before, fortunately, they were wrong. Lloyd was the first to open his eyes and see the very bright light that blinded him for a moment.
All of Emmet's outfit was platinum, as were his eyes and hair, which waved as if they had lost their gravity. A huge part of the building disappeared, and the people there fell on a mattress that appeared from nowhere.
"Emmet..." Lloyd got up shocked and looked at the platinum gloves. "But the legend was true! I don't know how, but you had it all the time and you're a platinum warrior!"
"Help people" He spoke firmly, like a true leader. "I will try to destroy her tiara. I'll just take it somewhere first..."
He didn't manage to say everything because Lloyd interrupted him and gave him a quick kiss.
"Wait, since when are they together?" He asked Jay and looked at Kai expecting a specific answer.
"I don't know anything. They didn't tell us."
"Go on" Emmet was chasing them. "I'll see you later" He jumped and there were metal wings on his back and jet boots on his legs.
He flew straight to them, which levitated high above the city. He hit her so hard by surprise that she landed in the forest, which was a few kilometers away from the city limits. His first part of the strategy was to pull Inokirtes away from people and fight her in a safe field.
The Platinum Warrior landed before her. Earlier he wore a platinum mask that was very similar to the one that the ninjas wear.
Inokirtes didn't foresee that Emmet could release his true power, but she wasn't afraid to fight him, because her gathered power still exceeded his.
"So this is how you want to play it, pull me away from the city and fight beyond the reach of innocent people." She turned her head strangely satisfied.
Her eyes glowed different colors, and with her hands, she created different shapes, as if she was trying to conjure something up. The warrior had a bullet of energy or a similar attack, but instead of attacking her, there were creatures that looked like her but were created from different elements.
"My servants! Fly to destroy this city and all warriors!" She commanded them, and the creatures immediately listened to their ruler.
Emmet wanted to stop them, but Inokirtes did not let him escape by tying his limbs with lianas with sharp spikes. This stopped him, but thanks to his platinum costume the spikes did not hurt him.
Boiling lava appeared under Emmet's feet, but it did not burn his outfit or hurt him. His outfit came in handy again as an effective armor, he didn't even feel the heat. The warrior used it to free himself from the vines by dipping them in lava.
He came out of the lava and started running towards it, but it suddenly sank into the ground. He focused on trembling the ground because it could have happened from any side. Rock came out of the ground and it hit, and he couldn't defend himself against it. The fire raged, lightning was attacking from all sides, and the water caused the flood. Too many elements attacked him at once for him to react. In addition, he had not yet managed to learn to use all his super abilities. He often did it spontaneously.
The demon jumped off the ground and stunned him with a charged energy ball. The Platinum Warrior lost consciousness, and Rex's final death was only minutes away.
She wanted to end his life, but her motorbike stopped her from entering it. The bike was driven by Pixal and Zane in the second seat, who jumped in time before the bike tried.
The white Ninja ran up to Emmet, who was still a platinum warrior and examined his condition. He was alive, but for now, he's not gonna wake up.
They rose after the fall faster than a pair of nindroids predicted. She gathered power and fired it at three of her enemies. Pixal shielded the builder and her beloved and exposed herself to a wave of destruction.
"Pixal! Move back!"" Zane yelled scared as her body began to disintegrate. "RUN!"
"No! Shoot the tiara!" She told him to keep covering them. Her system went crazy. she tried to transfer her mind to some nearest computer or satellite, but it was impossible with that kind of damage. "Thank you, Zane... for everything, and now... SHOT!"
He did what she told him to do without thinking. He aimed at a moving target waiting a few seconds to fire the blaster. He pressed the trigger perfectly hitting the crystal and smashed it into smallpieces. At this point, they stopped using their power but managed to destroy Pixal's entire body and mind. The nindroid turned into dust.
The demonic screamed in pain as all the elements took over her body, and Rex's soul and power flew at an extraordinary speed up looking for her body.
***
Elemonsters attacked the city from all sides. The Inokirtes' servant ruling over the ground erected a rock wall around the entire city so that people could not get out. The Ninja did not prepare themselves for an attack by a dozen or so creatures, but for one demon.
Lloyd told Nya to try to kill one of them. Smith aimed at the Elemonster Of Fire and let a stream of water flow onto it, which was fired by a cannon, but the creatures turned out to be smarter than they thought. The Fire creature blew the fire into the stream with great force. All the water evaporated, and the cannon exploded.
"They're really powerful and intelligent, watch out for them" Green Ninja informed on the phone. He was in constant contact with the entire team, so he could analyze the situation they found themselves in. "Jay, we're gonna need the Destiny's Bounty to get the citizens out of here.
"I'm on it!"
"Cole, what's your situation?" Lloyd heard some blows through the phone that drowned out the master of the earth a little.
"I'm trying to find a safe place for the citizens" He interrupted to fend off another attack. "But it's not easy."
"Okay, defend them, and I--" He took out his sword when he saw the earth elemonsterapproaching. "I'm hanging up."
The green Ninja jumped up before the Elemonster struck the asphalt with his fist, causing an earthquake and part of the road to fall apart.
Not far from the leader, Skylor and Kai also fought the speed and shadow element. Skylor had all the elements in the past thanks to her ability to absorb them, so she knew how to defend herself effectively against such attacks.
The Red Ninja noticed that on the roof of one of the blocks there was an ice pick. She froze a small part of the road, and at the same time, the earth elemental was pushing the leader straight into the frozen area.
"Lloyd! Don't go there!" He yelled, but his friend's leg had already touched the frozen area.
Kai started running to save him. The frozen road became mobile and sharp, icy stalagmites fired from it that pierced the green ninja's body.
"LLOYD!"
***
Wu tried to give Rex energy in small amounts, but after a while, his body started to demand more because it needed its soul. The master let Rex go, and exhausted he fell to the ground. He wasted almost all his energy and could no longer keep him alive.
Suddenly a bright light dazzled him for a few seconds. Wu guessed it must have been the soul of Rex, but it might have been too late.
He sat down slowly and waited for Rex to give some sign of life. After a few protracted moments, Rex sat down suddenly and started catching his breath.
"Wow, what was that?" He grabbed his head. " I've never felt so terrible in my life... Ouch..."
"You were out of your life force and power" He answered in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Oh, you're back" He looked at the Master. He wanted to ask where he had been all this time, but there were sparkling marks on his left hand. "What is that?"
"Marks from the legendary platinum gloves. When someone touches them, their power passes to that person, but I see you have one".
"The other one probably has Emmet, but wait- does it mean, we've had this glove the whole time?" He stood up looking at the marks, which suddenly made his hand glove appear, and his outfit became platinum. After slight stunting, he looked around the cave. "Where are the others?"
"They're fighting Inokirtes in the capital, head north. You have to help them. Fly fast."
Rex nodded his head, made jet boots out of nothing and flew out of the cave.
***
Zane was staring at the place where Pixal was just standing. He couldn't believe she sacrificed herself. He knew she could do it, but he didn't expect to lose her forever. Nothing could bring her back to life by completely destroying her body, especially her system.
Inokirtes tried to keep all the elements in her body. She wasn't willing to accept defeat, she almost took revenge. She decided to accumulate power until she was in control, and she'll create a bomb that will destroy the entire continent when the power of destruction is released. She knew she would die then, but her goal would be achieved.
However, her plan was interrupted by a second platinum warrior who was approaching her at great speed. Rex created a cannon with small rockets. He fired missiles straight at her, which stopped the accumulation of energy in her body.
At this point, Emmet woke up. Rex landed next to him and Zane, who looked completely broken down. None of the builders knew why. They didn't have time to guess now.
"Rex" grabbed his hand to get up " you're alive! And your clothes are on, just like mine!"
"Yes, but it's not over yet" He pointed his hand at Demon, who was preparing to attack, despite the energy that was trying to tear her apart.
Her body began to defend itself and pushed out one of the elements. The ice element returned to its owner. Feeling the return of power, Zane got up without saying a word, jumped and sent a series of icicles of ice to her, which rushed with a force similar to firing a cartridge from a gun.
The warriors joined the offensive. They tried to defend themselves and attack at the same time, but it was impossible in the situation she found herself in, so she moved on to the defensive itself.
They attacked her in different ways, and she continued to defend herself with a protective shield. She had already lost three powers, but this time the elements were taken over by platinum warriors to defeat her faster.
With each blow, her barrier became weaker. They attacked her until she lost all her powers. Her barrier was destroyed and her body became fragile. But she didn't look at them at all as if she regretted all this.
"You won, but I won't rest until I have my revenge on the creator of this world. But I have made a small success" She turned her head towards Zane. "You lost your friend and your leader."
"What? What is she talking about?" Emmet asked surprised, and then he remembered that Pixal was to come with Zane in case of trouble. "Where is Pixal? And the leader? Lloyd?!"
The white ninja couldn't stand it anymore. She killed his lover and his friend. The left hand caught fire and the right hand turned into an icy fist. He wanted revenge, but he saw the vision through the power of his mind. He entered her brain and saw what was hidden under false memories.
"She is not herself" The ice melted and the fire extinguisher. "We have to help her."
"What are you talking about? Zane!" Rex yelled without believing what he heard. "She killed Pixal, your girlfriend and Lloyd! And then she kidnapped us all, took our powers, wanted to destroy Ninjago and kill everyone!"
"I know, but it's not her fault," He said. "Trust me and let's help her."
Rex turned his head to Emmet. His eyes sparkled intense and unnatural green through Lloyd's element. He could clearly read anxiety in them but also trust in the Master of Ice.
"Let's help her" Emmet spoke, and Rex nodded reluctantly.
Zane put his fingers to the temples of the weak Inokirtes, who tried to break free at first, but her body refused to obey, too weak for any attack.
Rex put his hand on Zane's shoulder and Emmet on the other. They focused all the elements on Zane, and he focused them mainly on the power of the mind. The Master's of Ice eyes lit up. The demon's purple-sparkling eyes turned gold. When they finished, Oni passed out.
"And now she's good?" Rex asked with contempt in his voice.
"I didn't see everything, but I saw enough. It's-" he broke it off because he couldn't believe it himself" the mother of Spinjitsu's First Master. The Oni did something to her, so her personality changed. I hope we cured her and she will be herself now.
Rex wanted to ask his friend's opinion, but he disappeared. He saw the silhouette of his body in the distance. He flew into town.
***
Emmet didn't want to believe the words of Inokirtes. Pixal was certainly killed, but she could lie with Lloyd to make them angry.
He saw the ice spikes from above. He decided to land in front of them and then he saw the Green Ninja at their ends. Deathly stalagmites passed through the head, breast and hand, and red blood was flowing from the wounds.
"He's really dead..." He fell to his knees and his mystical form disappeared.
Tears were flowing into his eyes, but he was still looking towards the deceased, unable to believe how he died. In addition, someone he loved died, as well as Pixal and many other people. He felt as if he had lost this battle, although he managed to save this world from total destruction.
Kai shouted the name of the Master of Energy and tried to climb there to pull him down, but he kept slipping from the sharp icicles. Skylor tried to calm him down, but. He realized that Emmet was here.
"You..." He ran to him, and from the momentum, he put his fists in his face. "It was your fault! He died because of you".
"Kai! Kai! Calm down!" The Master of Amber held her boyfriend down so he wouldn't throw himself at him. "It's not Emmet's fault!"
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." he mumbled, though he couldn't really forgive himself.
All the ninjas, together with the builders and Wu, waited on the Destiny's Bounty for Oni to wake up. Three days passed and during that time they helped to rebuild the destruction, and Inokirtes still did not wake up.
They couldn't organize the funerals two fallen soldiers, because the priority was to help people.
"What if she wakes up and is still angry? She's very dangerous".Jay said looking at his friends.
"Then we will do something," Master Wu said looking at her. "If everything that Zane saw is true, she is my grandmother. I thought that only with my brother would I have such problems..."
Suddenly Inokirtes moved, and then she created eyes and looked around the room slowly. She sat down and looked at those who were standing next to the bed. They had weapons prepared in case of an attack from her side.
"Where am I?" She asked and put her hand on the sore forehead. "What happened?"
"She doesn't remember" Nya was the first to put down her weapon. "Tell us first, who are you?"
"Inokirtes, I came to some land with my son and..."
"First Master of Spinjitzu?" Wu asked.
"Yes, he made Spinjitzu and the whole world, but then I was kidnapped and..." She was trying to remember exactly what happened to her. Then all the memories just after the brainwashing came back. "Oh, no... I tried to take the power away from my son and kill him... What he did to me..."
"Tell us exactly what happened" Zane, who hardly spoke at all, insisted. But he wanted to know her true story, not just the blurry parts he'd seen before.
"I'll tell you, although my story will change what I did to all of you anyway."
