(Third Person P.O.V)



Patty Keys was in the middle of giving a tour of Yang's Haunted Temple to the medium-sized tour group.



"And here we have Yang's, Haunted Temple." Patty Keys informed the tour group.



"Look!" A little girl from within the tour group shouted and the tour group turned to see the land and Haunted Temple taken to the skies.



"Make that, used to have." Patty Keys said in shock as the Haunted Temple floats off to reaches New Djinjago.



"Should I junk the temple for scrap?" Dogshank asks her Captain once the Haunted Temple had arrived too New Djinngo.



"No, keep it. I rather like the look of it. I could always use a temple. But clean it up. It's filthy." Nadakhan said dismissively.



Dogshank shrugs in indifference and sprays water from the ships hose on it to clean it.



"Hey! This is my temple! Knock that off!" Yang shouted from one of the temple's windows at the pirates.



"And take care of those pesky ghosts while you're at it. They are so last season." Nadakhan groaned while rolling his eyes at the ghost.



Dogshank only shrugs and re-aims the hose to take care of the ghosts at her Captain's orders.



Yang screams and slams the window shut to protect himself from the threat of water. Yang quickly motions his students out of his temple. "Quick, hurry. This way." Yang ushered to his pupils, to get them to safety.



"Sorry to bother you, Captain, but we've seemed to have recruited some landlubbers. They want to help you in your endeavours." Flintlocke said showing off the pair to the Captain.



"So you want to be pirates, do you? What is your name?" Nadakhan demanded, inspecting the pair up and down.



"Colin, Captain. And might I add—" Colin began only to be cut off by an annoyed Nadakhan.



"What sort of a pirate name is that? From here on out, you'll be Landon. And what say your name be? " Nadakhan demanded wanting the second one's name.

 


"It's, uh, Landon, Captain." Landon replied rubbing the back of his neck and Nadakhan pulls a face at this.



"Ugh! Fine. Whatever. You're Squiffy and you're, I don't know, Bucko." Nadakhan groaned just wanting them out of his sight.



Then whispers to Flintlocke. "Get these two clowns out of here. I'm trying to build a world."



"Aye, aye. And don't worry, Captain. With more help, we'll have Djinjago up and running soon enough." Flintlocke replied and he and the two recruits leave.



"Hey, don't pick a fight with undead things it will come back to bite you in the ass. Also, you know you're going to lose right?" The child's voice pointed out as the veins continued to spread across Nadakhan.



Nadakhan's arm had now turned fully black and was now spreading across his body.



"Yes, I will! And when the last Ninja is mine and I marry the girl, I'll have all the wishes I want and nothing will be able to stop me." Nadakhan screamed at the invisible child.



 "Uh, were you talking to me, Ca-Captain?" Clancee inquired as he washed the deck.



 "No, Clancee, I was talking to myself. Now get back to work! We're out of Fiddlehead cider. Plunder a new case for me!" Nadakhan shouted at the Serpentine.



"Don't get mad at him! You're the one that sent the Serpentine girl away with that contract. I'm just part of your punishment. I'm not even physical their with you." The invisible child's voice mocked Nadakhan.



"I don't care if I helped wish that Serpentine girl away! I'll wish away every Serpentine if that means I'll get what I want!" Nadakhan screamed at the invisible voice.



Clancee looked up at his Captain before storming off. "And where do you think you're going?!" Nadakhan screamed at Clancee.



"To plunder a new case Fiddlehead cider!" Clancee hissed before taking a Raid Zeppelin down to Ninjago. Leaving his deranged Captain to his insane ramblings.



(Third Person P.O.V)



The team of rescuers had the remaining trio of the Ninjas brought to the formerly Lost City of Ouroboros.



The trio of Ninjas noticed that Ouroboros now had a huge sign out the front of that read:



The formerly lost city of Ouroboros. Home of Jormungand and The Serpentine vehicles.



The Serpentine are not responsible if you or a loved one are eaten due to harassment, violence or stupidity! You have been warned!



Now with a smaller sign chained to the bigger one that read:



Please do not feed your enemies to Jormungand and the Serpentine vehicles. Thanks!



Followed by a bunch of smaller signs with pictures it enforces the point.



Dareth led the trio of Ninjas towards the main stone structure through the makeshift village of people of Stiix. The tones of former residents of Stiix surrounding the Ninjas and watching them.



Everyone around them was stared as the trio walked past, with a lot of hatred and disdain in their eyes.



"The people of Ouroboros mourn (Y/N)'s disappearance." Ronin informed them. "That and you kind of destroyed all their homes." Dareth added with a hesitant look on his face.



The trio slowly walked behind Dareth and Ronin making there way across the grounds with Echo, Skylor, The Postman and Soto taking up the rear.



The people staring at the trio, with venom in their eyes. 'Evil ninja'. It was all the ninja could hear as they passed each of them.



Every one of them hating the Ninja, hating the trio for being Ninjas, hating them for what had happened to (Y/N), hating the ninjas for everything, for the destruction of their homes and loved ones had perished in the invasion.



The group slowly made their way to a door at the edge of the shanty town. "Open up, they're heading into the meeting." Dareth ordered banging on the door and it was opened for them.



Chokun, Lasha, Snappa and Mezmo were on the other side, Jay spots his mum and dad waiting for them along with a war council of Serpentine's Generals Fangtom, Acidicus and Skalidor accompanying Queen Selma.



"Mum? Dad?" Jay shouted and ran to his parents to hug them. "Oh. Hear that? He called us his parents." Edna related to her husband with tears in her eyes, that Jay still loved them.



Jay instantly informed his parents about their predicament. "So that's why Ninjago is falling apart." Ed clarified stroking his chin as he did and Edna pulled out her notepad.



 "Son, why don't you just gather your ninja friends and fly your fancy Elemental Dragons up there, just how long do you think a crew of Sky Pirates will last against an entire team of ninjas?" Ed questioned his son.



"Normally, yes. But the rest of us are trapped inside a magical sword. Go figure." Jay answered his father, Ed and Edna gasped in shock.



"Okay, listen up. We need to stop the wedding of someone I despise. And I'm not going to mince words said after she says I do, big surprise, her husband becomes all-powerful." Jay informed the group.



"So we've come to you for help, so we can stop the ceremony and save Ninjago." Lloyd stated hoping that they would help.



"A chance to fight Nadakhan again? Count me in." Soto shouted in excitement at the thought of fighting the Djinn again.



"Serpentine protect one and other and this Djinn has taken on of ours we stand ready to fight" Selma answered like the warrior queen she was, her Generals all nodding in agreement with her.



"Me too!" Echo shouted out eager to join in.



"You have my department at your disposal. Just say the word." The Postman insisted with a proud smile.



"I'm in too. There's no greater mission than that of love." Dareth declared puffing out his chest in self-confidence.



"Not to mention the whole saving (Y/N) thing." Ronin replied with a slight smirk, at rubbing that in the ninja's faces. "And saving my hide," Skylor admitted with a chuckle. "Let's do this!"



"Alright let's get down to business. I wish I could tell you the mission is going be simple. It's not." Dareth stated to the group.



"Uh, In case no one told you, Don't say those words." Cole announced shushing the hyped up Dareth.



"Also, yeah, it is. We got what we need to stop Nadakhan on the island. After we go up there we take care of business. Simple." Cole responded in a smug tone and with an even smugger look on his face.



"No, this mission is not simple, but it's not impossible. Not without the help of a little magic. Movie magic. Kevin, Dan, the floor is yours." Dareth declared and presenting the pair to the gathered group.



"Who are they? Retrieval experts?" Lloyd questioned causing Ronin to snort in laughter. "Better. Screenwriters." Dareth stated with a smile and Cole face palmed.



"So we suggest we use a little movie magic to recreate one of their ships so you can blend into their fleet." Dan lectured to everyone.



 "Then, after our costumer disguises you as Sky Pirates and an acting coach teaches you their dialect to pass undetected—" Kevin replied.



 "Arr, ye matey. We be becoming pirates" Lloyd responded in a really bad accent.



"Okay, um, The green one can't do dialects." Dan affirmed to Kevin. "Ok, enough with the crazy." Ronin said and shooed the pair out, having his fill of crazy ideas.



"Ok, so maybe we haven't figured everything out. We're all under deadlines, you know. I know it's a stretch, but this is by far the best bad idea we have." Dareth said, visibly upset.



"Unless any of you have any better ideas, I suggest we get working." Dareth announced thinking that no one would dare speak up.



"Um, I have one." Clancee offered and everyone turned round to see Clancee dangling from Jormungand's mouth.



Jormungand had stuck her head through one of the high windows of the meeting room, to happily show them what she'd found, outside the wall, her tail wagged like an excited puppy.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Clancee quickly explained to the gathered group why he is there and how Nadakhan is slowly, losing his mind and how is body was blackening due to something Clancee didn't understand.



"Wait! If we defeat Nadakhan, his power will diminish." Lloyd questioned in despair. Clancee nodded his head, sadly.



"Uh, yeah, that's kind of figures." Cole replied kicking at the ground in dismay.



"Of course. If his power diminishes, Djinjago will fall and Ninjago will be crushed." Lloyd affirmed in horror. "Even if we win, we lose?" Jay sighed in distress.


 

"Well, whatever you decide, you don't want an all-powerful Djinn calling the shots. You have to take him out if you have the chance." Soto argued.



"The rest of you should prepare for the worst, while we battle him." Soto instructed those not setting out to fight.



"But resources are low. It is one thing to use the Destiny's Bounty to mount an assault. Although they've already taken that." Echo said unhappily.



"Along with nearly half the land in Ninjago. And every hour, another chunk goes missing." The Postman affirmed with a bitter sigh.



"Which is w-why we'll n-need to use the next piece of land s-stolen as the ride up." Clancee replied.



"Excuse me, can you say that again?" Ronin questioned as Clancee sets out a map on the table in front of them.



"Right now Nadakhan control the skies. F-first sign of us approaching, it'd be like w-waking up an h-hornet's nest." Clancee instructed the group.



"B-but if we locate the next p-portion of land that will be pulled up into Djinjago and s-sneak up onto it as fast as we can, we can use it to slip through Nadakhan's defences." Clancee reported confident in the plan.



"But we don't know where or when the next piece of land will be stolen. It could be clear across Ninjago." Cole cried out in despair.



"T-that's why I s-said as fast as we c-can." Clancee responded doing his best to be strong in front of his fellow Serpentine.



(Third Person P.O.V)



As Jay prepares to depart with Cole and Lloyd in search of any signs of soon to be floating land. His parents come up to him to give him a pep-talk.



"Good luck infiltrating the wedding, son." Ed proclaimed happily waving goodbye to Jay.



 "Thanks, Mum and Dad. I'll let you know how things go." Jay replied with a smile.



"Oh, and Cole." Edna said addressing the Master of Earth. Cole immediately flinched thinking he was in trouble.



"Y-yes." Cole gulped even Lloyd was bracing himself for the worst case scenario.



"Ed and I have talked it over with Jay, you're allowed back at the junkyard." Edna informed the Master of Earth that was now visibly sweating.



"Oh, um... Thank you." Cole responded fidgeting under Jay's parents gaze. "But that Mia girl is still banned." Edna declared putting down her foot. Jay didn't even bother to correct his mother, on his ex's actual name.



"And after you save (Y/N), bring her over for a bite. We'd love to see her again." Edna said just as Jay was about to summon his Elemental Dragon when Echo suddenly stated out loud. "I spy a spy."



Jay immediately froze and looked around for what he was talking about.



"Two Sky Pirate spies on the rooftop." Echo quietly reported to the others. "Good. Now let's give them something to really look at." Skylor declared smashing her fists together.



"Nadakhan's right, they are planning to attack. Don't worry, I can read lips." Squiffy related and began reading the Ninja's lips. "Bagel diorama. Clown riots. Sandy pockets for me."



"Come on. That's not what he's saying. Give that to me." Bucko hissed at his partner as he takes his telescope. "I can read lips way better than you." Bucko bosted to Squiffy.



"Bequeath." Lloyd said with a smile.


"Bequeath." Bucko repeated. 


"Mamajama." Cole said with a smirk. 


"Mamajama." Bucko copied. 


"Ninja chips." Jay blurted out, trying not to laugh. 



"Ninja chips." Bucko quoted.



"Ugh. Whatever they're saying, we need to warn the captain." Bucko responded giving up.



"Right behind you." Skylor said with a malicious smirk on her face. "Uh, we be spotted. Run!" Bucko declared. And the pair make a retreat, with Skylor and Ronin giving chase across Ouroboros' rooftops.



"I've lost sight of them." The Postman reported to the others over his coms.



"My sensors tell me they have split up. One is heading east. The other, west." Echo responded locating them for the others.



"We can't let them warn the others." Ronin insisted taking off after Bucko. Skylor went after Squiffy.



Squiffy climbing up a ladder on a nearby building making it onto the roof, with Skylor landing right behind him.



Squiffy started up his Raid Zeppelin and manages to get away from Skylor.



"Soto, he's coming your way." Skylor called out and Soto jumps down onto Squiffy's vehicle. "Your vessel be mine!" Soto retorted as kicks him out.



"Only one to go." Skylor reported ready to hunt down the second. Suddenly the ground rumbles all around them.



"What's happening?" Skylor demanded, looking around for an answer as everything continued to violently, shake all around them.



"Looks like Ouroboros about to go up." Dareth stated as the ground continued to quake. "Now's our chance. Get on or off!"



People either dive onto or off of the so to be floating chunk of land. "Where's the other one? We have to stop him." Ronin shouted.



"There's no time. It's now or never." Echo said as he helps an elderly woman get off the piece forcefully shaking land about to tear away from Ninjago.



"There you go, ma'am. Watch your step." Echo politely tells the lady as the chunk of land takes off floating towards New Djinjago.



"Let's stay on our toes, people. They know we're coming." Jay declared to the team.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Doubloon and Monkey Wretch were busy trying to prepare Nya for the wedding with her resentfully claiming she will not marry Nadakhan.



Just then, Dogshank enters "Get out here! Now!" Dogshank shouts as she grabs Nya and forcefully stuffs her into the dress. Nya would have escaped if it wasn't for the ball and chain around her ankle.



"Oh, she does not look pretty in white." Flintlocke described trying not to gag at Nya.



"I look hideous!" Nya uttered catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror. "And what's with these four arms?" Nya questioned holding up one of the spare sleaves to the pirates.



"It was Nadakhan's mothers." Dogshank answered with an annoyed huff. "Ugh! I hate dresses." Nya replied dropping the sleeve in disgust.



 "Well hurry up. The ceremony run-through is in a few minutes." Dogshank confirmed and slammed the door shut while Flintlocke proceeds to recount to Nadakhan how the wedding will operate.



"After the music, you and your bride-to-be will make your sacred Djinn vows. She will obviously object but it won't matter, because when the ceremony is complete, all wishes will be yours, Captain." Flintlocke reported to his Captain.



"Good, Flintlocke. Tonight I don't want any interruptions." Nadakhan stated with a sly, smirk on his face.



"Captain! Captain!" Bucko shouted as he ran to his Captain. "What is it!?" Nadakhan spat in anger at the new recruit.


 

"You were right. The last of the Ninjas, are coming." Bucko announced to his Captain.



"Gather the entire crew. I want this place locked down with three to every post. Tonight, nothing will get in the way of me becoming king! Nothing!" Nadakhan declared at the top of his lungs.



"You're going to fail!" The child's voice pointed out to the Djinn Captain in a sing-song tone.



"Shut up!" Nadakhan shouted at the voice in his head. But this just makes the voice laugh.



"Spectacularly fail!" The child's voice continued to mock, still giggling slightly at the Djinn.



"Shut up!" Nadakhan screamed at the voice. Startling all of those who were around him.



"Fail!" The child's voice shouted at the Djinn, her voice vibrating around the Djinn's skull.



"Shut up!" Nadakhan screeched at the invisible voice. Flintlocke looked on with concern on his face as his Captain continued to scream at someone that wasn't there.



(Third Person P.O.V)



As the chunk of land takes off floating towards New Djinjago. The brave team ridding it up went over their plans.



"Alright, we're getting close. You have the venom?" Lloyd questioned, double checking who had the container of venom on them.



"I sure do. Don't waste an ounce of that stuff. We may only have one shot here." Cole acknowledged.



"Bad news be, everybody else and their mothers be guarding below." Soto said looking through the telescope. "Good news be, that means Nadakhan be on top."



"So much for the quiet entrance." Ronin said with a sigh. "Everyone remembers their jobs." Queen Selma ordered like the noble, warrior Queen of the mighty Serpentine she was.



Chokun, Lasha, Snappa and Mezmo gathered to the other side, of Serpentine's Generals all nodded that they understood their mission.



Clancee handed Skylor a key before he rejoined the Serpentine, standing next to the Serpentine Queen herself.



"Alright. It's showtime." Jay declared and they split up, making their way around New Djinjago.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Skylor managed to sneak up to the window outside of the room Nya was being held inside.



"It is time." Nadakhan announced banging on the door with his fist growing impatient with every pound of his fist.



"Nya? Is that you?" Skylor whispered through a window looking into the room. "Skylor?" Nya quietly called out to her friend.



"Nya, what happened to your eye? Why-Why are you dressed like that?" Skylor inquired as she climbed through a window.



"Don't worry about that now." Nya whispered to Skylor. "Why? How are you here?" Nya questioned the Master of Amber.



"Our friends are nearby. I'm going get you out of here." Skylor replied as she unlocks Nya's ball and chain with the keys she'd gotten from Clancee.



"If you won't come willingly, Nya..." Nadakhan declared slamming his fists down on the door.



"Quick, hide in there." Skylor stated pushing Nya inside a closet and joined her in hiding inside.



"I will take you regardless." Nadakhan declared breaking down the door. Nadakhan walks in. He goes to the closet but the ship jerks, the ball and chain rolling over the cabin floor.



"Our prisoner's escaped! Search the ship!" Nadakhan announced to his crew. Who quickly scrambled to find Nya.



(Third Person P.O.V)



"Aah! Ninja!" Flintlocke shouted in alarm and alerted his fellow pirates. "They be here! All hands on deck!" Bucko shouted to the pirate crew.



 "Get them!" Nadakhan declared ordering his crew to attack.



"I ain't afraid to shoot you where you stand." Flintlocke declared, aiming his guns at Lloyd.



"I wish you were a lousy shot!" Lloyd stated with a complacent look. "I never miss." Flintlocke declared and fires but his bullet hardly touches Lloyd.



"Huh?" The pirates gasped in alarm and shock that Flintlocke missed.



"I said I never miss!" Flintlocke demanded and fired again at Lloyd but this time he shoots a hole in a Raid Zeppelin.



"Stop firing, or else you're going to put a hole in all of us." Nadakhan shouted at Flintlocke. "I can't believe it worked!" Lloyd confessed in excitement.



Flintlocke losses his temper and fired point-blank at Lloyd only to accidentally ends up shooting himself in his foot. Causing Flintlocke to hop around in pain with his now bleeding foot.



"If he's within earshot, he has to grant the wish." Jay announced to everyone, the Serpentine and recruited hero all grinned understanding what the Ninja of Lighting was telling them.



"Remember the rules, you can't wish for love, death, or more wishes." Cole recounted to the others.



Frustrated, Nadakhan growled in anger and uses his Djinn Blade to summon Zane's Ice power to freezes the deck beneath them.



"That's not fair. He's fighting us with our Zane's power." Cole complained though he was able to navigate the icy deck and help fight off the Sky Pirates.



"I wish..." Cole began. "You wish?" Nadakhan said condescendingly just itching to absorb the Ninja of Earth.



"I got it! I wish he didn't have that sword." Cole said snapping his fingers as he did.



"Your wish is yours to keep." Nadakhan mocked Cole and granted the Master of Earth's wish and tosses his blade to Flintlocke, who catches it and returns it to his captain.



"Your blade, Captain." Flintlocke said with a laugh.



"Don't u-use your wishes like that." Clancee instructed the Ninjas. "What did you tell them, Clancee?" Nadakhan demanded.



"I wish you'd listen to me for once." Clancee declared standing proudly beside Queen Selma and the three Serpentine Generals backed by Chokun, Lasha, Snappa and Mezmo.



"Your wish is yours to keep." Nadakhan mocked Clancee.



"I've never liked how you treated people especial us. You treat us like dirt and mistreat us. You said this was about us, b-b-but it's only about you! And what you want! You've never cared about us!" Clancee shouted at the Djinn Captain.



"Well, if that's how you truly feel, you're banished!" Nadakhan declared, slashing Clancee with the Djinn Blade.



"Clancee!" Queen Selma shouted. "You'll pay for that!" Acidicus declared ready to spit venom. Fangtom and Skalidor bared their sharp fangs at the Djinn.



"And for what you did to (Y/N)." Mezmo declared, able to navigate the icy deck with ease to fight off the Sky Pirates with Chokun, Lasha and Snappa skating across the ice to get at their opponents after him.



Nadakhan burst out into manic laughter only to double over in pain as the black veins spread from his arm to half of his chest.



"Oh, you shouldn't have done that." The child's voice scolded the Djinn, as he writhed in pain on the frozen deck as the black veins spread across his chest Nadakhan violently clawed at his chest.



"What the brick is going on?" Snappa demanded. Chokun just shrugged at him and went back to bitting the Sky Pirate he'd cornered.



The Sky Pirate screamed and cried out in pain as the Serpentine sunk his fang into the man.



"I don't know I wish I was wise like Sensei Wu. So I did." Lloyd said out loud. "I heard that. It's yours to keep." Nadakhan laughed granting Lloyd's wish.



Lloyd gasped when he saw his reflection in the ice. He was becoming older then Sensei Wu himself. "I'm getting older." Lloyd gasped out in horror.



"Hold on! I know what going on Nadakhan!" Lloyd gasped finally understanding what (Y/N) had done to the Djinn.



"Nadakhan made a deal with (Y/N) when she made her wish and Nadakhan's gone back on his part of the deal every time he hurts someone with his powers." Lloyd shouted to the others.



"That's our (Y/N)." Chokun proudly declared. "Always looking out for us." Snappa said with smug pride.



Cole inspired at hearing that and decided to use his last wish. "Ha, I get it," Cole shouted out to Lloyd. "We're overthinking this! Wish your hearts out! I wish us all out of here?" Cole shouted with a huge smile on his face.



"Oh, you fool." Nadakhan screamed as the ship starts to tilt while Cole was absorbed into the Djinn Blade.



"Naughty, naughty Nadakhan." The child's voice scolded the Djinn.



Foolish trickster, stealing thrice,

Not satisfied with stolen fire and ice.

Now, feasting upon stolen earth,

This shall leave you stark, blackened dearth.

Your skin will now burn like the hearth,

For your endless spitful mirth.

Karma is coming with all its worth,

This is the cost of stealing earth.



Nadakhan horrified watches as the Misfortune's Keep tilts over. As everyone else was desperately hanging on.



"Make it stop." Flintlocke screamed latching onto the nearest solid object. "I can't. He's wished us all out of here." Nadakhan hissed in pain almost dropping the Djinn Blade.



Nya and Skylor came tumbling out of the cabin and onto the frozen deck and into Acidicus and Skalidor on their tumbling spree.



"Quick! Someone wish for something, we're all going to fall." Someone screamed as everyone tried to hold on as the Misfortunes Keep slowly turns upside down.



Nadakhan flinched as the child's voice burst out laughing, as the Misfortunes Keep slowly turns upside down.



"Woo-hoo! Drop! Drop! Drop! Drop!" The child's voice chanted enjoying the ride. Nadakhan eye started to twitch out of stress and rage at the voice.



This got a laugh from the voice in Nadakhan's head.



Then it happens, everyone started losing their grip and falls through the air, plummeting towards the earth.



Lloyd could see the clouds rushing up on everyone and shouted. "I wish those clouds would stop us!"



Lloyd was absorbed into the Djinn Blade and everyone falls onto the clouds, landing safely and even bouncing around on the soft fluffy clouds as though it was a bouncy castle.



The pirates landed on a higher set of clouds then the others, Nadakhan let out a scream of pain from the veins growing at an alarming speed, after landing safely and dropped the Djinn Blade.



"You just don't learn do you Nadakhan." The child's voice scolded the Djinn with a disappointed sigh. "Welp, glad I'm not you because this is going to hurt." The child's voice warned the Djinn to brace himself for the pain.



Oh, silly Djinn what trouble you've been.

Stealing powers now from the one in green,

Your want for power is but all for naught,

Your brand of evil just got you caught.

Oh, silly Djinn now is the time,

for your punishment of this heinous crime.

With these words face my scorn,

You'll wish you'd never been born.



Nadakhan howled in indescribable pain, clawing desperately at his rapidly blackening body as the skin broke out in immense lumps, stinging and swelling.



The skin on his originally infected arm started to rot, boil and leak a fowl, nauseating substance, that had no earthly word for its stench.



The blackening skin started to peel away revealing the bones underneath.



Nadakhan dropped the Djinn Blade in shock of his rotting skin. The Djinn Blade bounced down the levels of clouds.



"The Blade!" Jay gasped catching sight of the Djinn Blade and made a desperate grasp to catch the blade while he had the chance.



"Would you look at that." Jay said holding up the Djinn Blade.



Nya and Skylor pulled themselves up and waved to them and the Serpentine that had landed on a cloud closer to the Pirates. "Skylor found Nya." Echo announced pointing at the pair and waved to them.



The Serpentine, Skylor and Nya bounced their way down and across the clouds to the other members of this team.



"We have a minor problem heading our way." Skalidor warned the others.



 "What kind of problem?" The Postman asked looking over to the Serpentine General.



"The angry pirate army kind." Skylor said almost out of breath from all the running she'd endured while dragging Nya behind her.



The group took off bouncing around on the clouds to get as much distance they could get from Nadakhan and his pirates.



"You got the blade." The Postman complemented Jay as they ran from Nadakhan and his pirate hoard. "Now if I can only figure out how to free my friends from it." Jay shouted as he ran.



  "There is a way." Soto said before pausing trying to think of the best way to explain this to Jay.



"Oh, please do go on. It's not like there is a Djinn after us!" Jay shouted at Soto as they ran form the pirate hoard.



"A Djinn can capture you in his Djinn Blade by tricking you to wish it all away. Or there's a simpler way say be struck by it like Clancee." Soto explained to the Master of Lightning.



"You're telling me we have to strike Jay with the sword? Won't that be painful?" Dareth objected puffing from the lack of breath, he would not be able to keep running for much longer.



"The hard part isn't getting captured by the blade, but getting out. There have been few who have ever escaped a Djinn entrapment,"



"I can't tell you what you'll find inside. But once you're there, you'll only have minutes until you fall under its enchantment and are trapped yourself." Soto instructed the Ninja of Lightning.



"Okay, thanks for the tip. I got to work fast." Jay stated. Eventually, they found their way back to New Djinjago and hide in a wooden shack to catch their breath.



Jay handed Echo the Djinn Blade. "Okay, when I say, 'go'. Stab me." Jay insisted to the copper Nindroid as he tied a rope around his waist. "On go Affirmative." Echo replied, making sure it was known that he understood.



"Wait! What if you don't make it out? What are we supposed to do then?" Dareth said.



"Listen carefully. If I don't return, I want you all to go—" Jay was cut off.



"Go?" Echo stated preparing to strike. "Wait!" Jay responded but it was too late. As Echo strikes him with the blade.



"And that's why I should've done it." Ronin stated. "What now?" Dareth questioned looking to everyone to give him an answer.



"Protect the sword until Jay returns with the others." Echo declared and everyone nodded that they agreed.



"I recommend grabbing your favourite tool and start defending this place." Ronin said handing Nya a garden hoe and Soto a watering can.



"A watering can? What can I do with this?" Soto questioned holding up the watering can. "I don't know. Get creative." Ronin replied and everyone started grabbing tools.



Fangtom, Acidicus and Skalidor already had their personal staffs and Queen Selma got her hands on a whipper snipper.



The Postman grabbed a bag of seeds and a leaf blower while Skylor got ahold of a hedge trimmer.



Chokun snatched up a rake, Dareth got a ladder, Echo received a shovel, Lasha found a pair of garden shears, Snappa scored a chainsaw and Mezmo wielded a water hose.



"On my mark... Go!" Ronin declared and they charged into the oncoming Pirate hoard.



(Third Person P.O.V)



The two groups face off against one and other. The small army of pirates charged into Jay, the Serpentine and the recruits as they ready their weapons.



The Postman loaded the leaf blower with seeds and opened fire at the approaching pirate crew, mowing down the first several pirates with a hail of grass seeds.



"For our ancestors! Attack!" Queen Selma shouted and went after Doubloon with a whipper snipper. Doubloon took off in the opposite direction from Selma, dodging the Queens ferocious attacks.



Chokun went after Monkey Wretch with the rake, Monkey Wretch easily dodged the hostile Constrictai, that hisses at the robot-monkey while Acidicus spat venom at Monkey Wretch who screeched and ran for it.



Skalidor had his tail wrapped around a pirate and was smacking the unfortunate pirate in the head, repeatedly with his Constrictai Staff.



Dareth had the ladder on his shoulders with his head sticking out of the middle of the ladder rungs, swinging it around and knocking over any Sky Pirate he could.



"Watch your left!" The Postman shouted to Dareth.



Dareth looks to his left and as he turns the ladder knocks out a pirate coming for him on the other side. "Ah, Good enough!" The Postman says, turning his attention to the pirate before him.



Lasha ran past them chasing after a female pirate with a pair of garden shears. Mezmo held off a trio of pirates with a blast from the water hose.



Skylor held off a pirate sword with the hedge trimmer with Soto guarding her back, slamming the watering can into an approaching pirate, knocking the pirate out cold.



Nya was having trouble wielded the garden hoe in a wedding dress. Dogshank came charging up to Nya and backhanded her into a crate that was dented by the force of the impact of Nya hitting it, Nya fell to the ground with a hard thud.



"Ya, dirty harlot!" Dogshank spat at Nya and kicks her so hard that it sends Nya skidding across the ground.



"I told you the first chance I get Dilara." Dogshank growled charging at Nya ready to stomp her into the ground, Nya barely rolled out of the way in time, causing Dogshank to miss her.



The chain on Snappa's borrowed chainsaw snapped when he used the chainsaw to block the strike from a pirates cutlass.



"Snappa, look out!" Chokun shouted. As a pirate approaches Snappa and he starts whimpering. Chokun came running in quickly taking out the pirate. "Okay, we're done here." Chokun said covering up for Snappa's frightened whimpering.



The Postman ran out of grass seeds but managed to hold off the cocky pirate he was battling.



Queen Selma had Doubloon trapped in a tree, Doubloon kept scooting up the tree to get away from the enraged Queen.



"Queen Selma, calm down!" Fangtom pleaded with his Queen. "Get a hold of yourself!"



Ronin backflips off the Sky Pirate he was currently standing on, kicking another in the stomach making the pirate double over in pain.



Skylor fended off an incoming pirate with the hedge trimmer knocking him into Echo's path, the copper Nindroid swung the shovel like a bat sending the Sky Pirate flying through the air.



Acidicus and Skalidor continued to hold their own with Acidicus spraying them with venom and Skalidor belting them with his staff.



Dogshank slammed her fists into the ground knocking Nya off her feet as she tried to run in the oversized white wedding dress, that was now stained with dirt and a little blood from Nya's cut lip.



Dogshank grabs Nya by one of her legs and swings her around before letting it go and sending her crash into a few barrels. Nya tries to stand but lose her footing and falls to her knees, while Dogshank's voice echos around her.



"Weak little harlot, talk a big game but the second your male paramours scamper off you cower like the spinless wrench you are!" Dogshank called out as she ploughs her way through the crates.



Nya stumbles her way out of the crates as Dogshank continues ploughing through the crates till she found Nya.



Dogshank grabbed Nya by the scruff of her neck, turned her around and punched Nya in the face, over and over again.



Nya wound up seeing stars and darkness started to seep into her vision.



For a split second, Nya saw her standing there on the impromptu battlefield... (Y/N) just standing there staring at her.



"What? Come to gloat?" Nya questioned too (Y/N) in her mind. (Y/N) still just stood there, unfazed by Nya's question or predicament.



"What is it what do you want? Almost all of the Ninja are gone, Everyone hates me, Ninjago is about to fall to an evil guy that wants me, I'm all alone, this crazy lady wants to kill me for something I didn't do! What more do you want!" Nya screamed in her mind at the apparition on the battlefield.



Then it dawned on her...



"Oh..." Was all that came out of Nya's mouth as Dogshank let go of Nya knocking her back with a huge kick. Sending Nya flying backwards before hitting the ground Nya skids to a stop at Ronin's feet.



Nya stirs slightly, "Ow!" Nya whined. "Oh, come on! You had to see that coming." Ronin said and extends his hand to dragged Nya too her feet.



"Uh, you know, you could have done something before I got punched in the face by Dogshank twenty times in a row." Nya complained to the thief as she spat out a tooth.



They rush to rejoin the group, with their backs together they continue fighting off the seemingly endless horde of Sky Pirates.



"It's not working! There's too many of them!" Dareth exclaimed.



"We have to protect the sword! Keep fighting them off!" Echo reported as he continued taking out the pirates that come his way and sends each of them flying into the air with each swing of the shovel.



"I don't think I can do this much longer!" Lasha warned the others. "Just hold on!" Mezmo replied.



Out of nowhere the shed explodes as the Ninja escape the Djinn blade. Their exit causing the shack to be torn apart, effectively getting rid of nearby pirates.



The Ninjas, Sensei Wu and Misako simultaneously start screaming to one and other.



Zane locks eyes with Echo. "Brother!" Zane shouts as he runs to tightly, hug his little brother.



"Uh, I think I'm going to be sick!" Dareth said sitting up as Ronin and the Postman helped him off the ground.



"Huh! What are you all doing here?" Kai questioned looking over the gathered group.



"I would tell you, but where's the fun in that?" Queen Selma chuckled and the Serpentine joined in.



"What about Nadakhan? Don't tell me that guy is still around." Cole said noticing the Sky Pirates scattered around on the ground.



"Wow! Look at that I was right. You failed." The invisible child's voice laughed at Nadakhan who was buried under a pile of rubble.



Nadakhan exploded out of a pile of rubble revealing what the curse had finished doing this time around it had eaten its way across, half of Nadakhan's body.



The Sky Pirates gagged at Nadakhan's new grotesque appearance, the half rotting Djinn howled with madness at all before him.



Then his eyes lock onto something lying in the middle of the battlefield halfway between him and the Ninjas.



It was the Djinn Blade...



"Come on, everyone! Now's our chance!" Jay shouted spotting what Nadakhan was looking at and both groups start running towards the Djinn Blade.



But Nadakhan took the blade first. "Better luck next time." Nadakhan laughed at the ninja and their friends.



"Not done getting your rear handed to you. Are you?" The invisible child's voice questioned with a disappointed sigh directed at Nadakhan.



Nadakhan blind with madness locked eyes on Doubloon and Monkey Wretch.



"Of course, you're all against me. Well, guess what Clancee was right. This is all about me. I'll banish you too!" Nadakhan screamed frothing at the mouth with his madness and slashes at the Sky Pirates with the Djinn Blade.



"RUN!" Someone screamed and everyone scatted as fast as they could.



Nadakhan slashes at the cornered pair of Doubloon and Monkey Wretch, banishing them into the Blade.



"Dogshank! Flintlocke! Where are you!?" Nadakhan howled still hunting for them. "Bah! Forget them." Nadakhan spat and disappeared in a puff of orange smoke.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Dogshank and Flintlocke cautiously come out of where they were hiding.



Dogshank was cradling Flintlocke in her arms as to take the pressure off of his bleeding foot.



"Fear not, my Buttercup." Flintlocke said trying to calm down Dogshank.



"Is everyone ok? Sensei Wu questioned doing a head count of everyone present.



"Come on. We have to find a way back to New Djinjago." Nya said.



"No offence Ninjas, but how do you expect to stop a Djinn?" Flintlocke questioned still being held within Dogshank's arms. "The same why Dilara does everything she'll try a seduce Nadakhan." Dogshank spat.



"Easy, my Buttercup." Flintlocke said trying to calm down Dogshank.



"My name is Nya!" Nya snapped back at the pirate. "I've never met you before all this crazy stuff happened."



"And as for your question about how to stop Nadakhan, I know someone that can stop him." Nya declared and took off towards Misfortunes Keep via the trail of sky mines.



"What's gotten into her?" Cole questioned. "I don't know. Let's find out." Lloyd responded. "This way!" Kai said following his sister.



"I hope you know what you're doing, Nya." Cole said as he uses Airjitzu to land on a sky mine.



"Do they know those are highly explosive?" Flintlocke questioned and Dogshank shrugs. "Tread lightly." Jay ordered going after the others.



"Nya! Just how do you plan on stopping Nadakhan?" Kai demanded once they were half way up.



"There's still one Ninja that needs to be rescued." Nya shouts down to her brother in response to his question.



(Third Person P.O.V)



"Need help?" Dogshank said offering her assistance to Sensei Wu who was leading everyone else down below to help.



"Glad to see we're not alone in this." Sensei Wu affirmed as Dogshank helped him down to a lower level.



"The only thing good about this situation is being able to knock him out." Flintlocke said holding up the container with the poison in it.



"Aah! We have the poison! Oh, that'll really hurt." Dogshank said with a slight laugh. "One of the Ninjas dropped it. I picked it up when everyone was fighting." Flintlocke said, proud of himself.



"Then we might want to hurry up." Dogshank replied with a cunning smile. Thrilled at the idea of payback.



"This will be close. Be ready to shoot when we get there." Dogshank instructed Flintlocke.



"Shoot? I can't even hit the broadside of a barn, remember?" Flintlocke informed her. "Oh, right." Dogshank said to herself and biting her lip.



This may be harder then she thought...



(Third Person P.O.V)



The Ninjas made their way up to Nadakhan's throne room. Before they burst through the grand doors Nya stopped them.



"Guys if this doesn't work I want you all to know that I'm truly sorry for everything I've done." Nya truthfully told them. the sincerity in her voice was completely honest.



Nya turned to the Masters of Lightning and Earth. "Cole, Jay. I'm sorry for everything I've done to the both of you." Nya apologised.



Nya then turned to her brother. "Kai, I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you when you really needed me to be." Nya confessed to her brother.



Nya then faced the Master of Ice. "Zane I'm sorry for helping cause the rift that's kept your brother away from you." Nya lamented.



"Lloyd," Nya said turning to the Master of Energy. "I'm sorry I caused (Y/N) to be taken from you when you really needed her the most." Nya acknowledged.



"And (Y/N)," Nya lamented up to the sky hoping she could hear her from wherever she was. "I'm sorry."



"I'm sorry I took things out on you and tried to kill you. I hope that one day you can find it in your heart to forgive me but until that day happens I'll try... No, I will better myself as a person. Someone that you'll be proud to call sister," Nya said taking her brother's hand. "In both senses of the term." With that Nya began to glow.



"It's Nya's true potential, all her hateful negativity was holding her back." Zane reported to the others.



"I kind of noticed." Kai said shielding his eyes from the glowing light.



(Third Person P.O.V)



Nadakhan sat upon his throne sharping his Djinn Blade, as he watched the hallucination of the child's voice as it sang and danced around the room in front of him.



The hallucination was indeed a small girl as her voice had led him to believe.



This young girl had (H/L), (H/C) hair. She was wearing a dark grey cloak with a grey border and a large wizard's hat, small satchel bag tied to her hip.



All three items had the same design stitched into them. Button eye and a zipper-like mouth.



"Pretty good wasn't it, Mr Nadakhan." The hallucination said to the Djinn. Nadakhan did not respond and the hallucination didn't seem to care and went back to singing.

lyrics:


Let me introduce myself!


You didn't think I was done? Did you?

Well, I'm just beginning having my fun.


Some people live for attention playing the victim.

But I was born to do the killing.


I see how you going crazy.

Thinking about me on the daily,

Keep feeding me your negativity,

Say some more lies about me,

I know that you hate me, hate me!


Funny how you think I'm bothered,

Not knowing I'm nothing like the others,

You shouldn't have messed with me because I heard,

That you're afraid of monsters, monsters!


Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

You're not ready for the monster's, monster!


I'm just being me.

I've just cut out the things that I don't need,

I don't care if you disagree,

I don't need any sympathy,

Winning this game on my own!


I see how you going crazy.

Thinking about me on the daily,

Keep feeding me your negativity,

Say some more lies about me,

I know that you hate me, hate me!


Funny how you think I'm bothered,

Not knowing I'm nothing like the others,

You shouldn't have messed with me because I heard,

That you're afraid of monsters, monsters!


Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

You're not ready for the monster's, monster!


Ah, it could've been so different between us,

But then you went and messed everything up,

You took a knife and stabbed me in the back,

Went to your friends and laughed.


This is the last time, I'm going to warn you now.

If you try to break me, I'm going to burn you down.


Oh, I'm done with you, Not coming back for you.


Let me introduce myself!


Funny how you think I'm bothered,

Not knowing I'm nothing like the others,

You shouldn't have messed with me because I heard,

That you're afraid of monsters, monsters!


Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

Are you ready for the monster's, monster?

You're not ready for the monster's, monster!



The Ninjas stormed into the throne room ready to face down the demented Djinn.



"Hey, Nadakhan I've got a wish! Nya shouted at the Djinn. Nadakhan looked up and motioned that he heard her. "I wish (Y/N) would return!" Nya shouted at the top of her lungs.



Nadakhan forced to grant the wish was suddenly struck by grey lightning, from the sky above.



"Looks like that's beyond your powers." The hallucination said with a disappointed sigh. "I kind of wanted to see what would happen."



"What do you mean it is beyond my powers!?" Nadakhan screamed at the hallucination.



"Well, you can't bring back the dead but can you bring back what never existed in the first place?" The child's voice answered back with a smug tone.



"Are you ready? Throw me, Blossom and I'll shoot." Flintlocke declared ready to open fire. "Whoo-hoo!" Flintlocke shouted as Dogshank tossed him into the air.



Flintlocke takes aim and shoots Nadakhan, through an open window, poisoning the Djinn.



As a result, Nadakhan loses control over Djinjago; causing it too collapses onto the city below, causing untold destruction.



"The poison. It's working." Cole shouted at the place shook. "His magic is failing, Jay, wish now!"



Nadakhan prepares to strike Jay with the Djinn Blade. "I wish no one ever found that teapot in the first place." Jay wished.



 Nadakhan, being hit with the venom has no choice but to grant Jay's wish.



Nadakhan dropped his sword. "Your wish...is yours to keep." Nadakhan says in a monotone voice, for being forced to grant the wish and time starts to reverse.



The world was spiralling around and around, spinning uncontrollably. Colours and images flashed around in this vortex of lights.



The recent events are undone, they arrive back to the day before all this had happened.



"I remember. I remember it all." Nya said in surprise. "I do too." Jay said still in shock. "But how?" he questioned.



"Who cares?" Nya said with the biggest smile. "Let's just hope this time we never see Nadakhan again."



"I feel gross." Kai stated pulling a face as though he had a bad taste in his mouth.



"Um, I'm getting the strangest feeling of déjà vu. Have we been here before?" Lloyd asked looking around.



 "So... Cheesy forgiveness speech later?" Nya said holding out her hand to sake as a sign of forgiveness. "Yeah, that sounds good." Jay responded shaking Nya's hand.



Meanwhile, Clouse searches a junk pile in ruins of Stiix for the Teapot of Tyrahn.



"It must be here somewhere." Clouse said to himself as he clawed his way through the piles and piles of junk.



"Look a ghost! Get him!" One of the remaining citizens of Stixx shouted in anger.



The outraged citizens chased Clouse away from what remained of their destroyed town, preventing him from finding the teapot. The teapot is then buried under scrap metal and shipped off to be junked.



Sadly, it wasn't all happy reunions all around that day.



When the Ninja went to find (Y/N), to truly apologise for what they had done not only in their words but through their actions, they were horrified to discover that (Y/N) had vanished...



One moment she'd been there and the next she vanished from where she'd been standing. No one could figure it out.



"Oh no, Nadakhan didn't undo everything." Nya gasped. "I could have told you that." Kai snipped pointing to a floating temple, hovering on the horizon.



"In Nadakhan's final moments he was rabid, frothing at the mouth with lunacy. He said he didn't have the power to bring her back." Jay said horrified, which left everyone devastated at the realisation that (Y/N) was gone.



"So I guess our next step is getting (Y/N) back." Lloyd declared.



(Third Person P.O.V)



The world was spiralling around and around, spinning uncontrollably. Everything was going crazy. The wind howled in her ears as she was being forced down into a swirling pit of nothingness.



Colours flashed around you in this vortex causing you to be blinded by the nauseating lights.



"This was it." She thought to herself. "If this is the price I must pay then so be it." As this vortex sucked away her very being.



A person wrapped in an old frayed, grey cloak stirred on the ground. She groaned as her vision returned, giving a harsh cough that stung her parched throat.



"Where am I?" she thought to herself. The question lingered on her mind as she looked around, taking in nothing but the pressing dark that lingered on all sides.



She was alone...



Panic rose through her instantly and she desperately tugged up her arms, feeling cold ground press into her limbs.



She could taste blood, feel it trickle slowly down her chin as she groaned in pain.



She was dazed and in pain, her stomach curled, she felt as though she was going to vomit what very little food she still had in her stomach, her joints ached with the smallest of movements and she was horribly tired.



Her breathing became rapid and she blinked quickly, desperately trying to gauge something out of her darkened surroundings.



She turned her head slightly, watching as the darkened silhouette made it's way across the room, blending in with the darkened corners of the room. She waited, fists clenched, preparing for a fight.



Then she felt a gentle hand in her hair and she turns to the face the monster in front of her.



"Are you injured (N/N)?" Marquis de Seaweed asked her. (N/N) smiled at the sea monster. It was good to see she wasn't the only one that had survived the battle.



She opened her cloak to see what's underneath revealing a spiked, leather jacket with a high collar and grey jeans with a small satchel bag tied to her hip. But thankfully no major injuries.



"I will live." (N/N) answered as she shook her head with her (H/L), (H/C) sticking slightly to her face and her (E/C) eyes now glowing and orangish red.



"You did it Weapon! You killed Hela! We are free!" Marquis de Seaweed declared helping her off the ground. "Let's not celebrate just, yet." (N/N) ordered.



"She could still be around, and what was that disturbance? We need to assess the surrounding areas for any sign of the Queen of Darkness or anyone else that could have caused that." (N/N) instructed her fellow Monster.
