"Guys, I just got a message from Izzy she said to turn on the news." Ava said and they quickly switched to the Knighton News Network.
Lance loudly groaned. "Eugh! What does my sister want." Lance huffed in annoyance.
"Lance has a sister?" Kai asked Aaron who was the closest knight to him. "Yeah, they don't get along too well mostly due to Lance's diva personality." Aaron quickly explained to the fire ninja.
Everyone that could gathered to watch the news broadcast and were glued to the tv as the Knighton News Network came on. The two reporters on the screen greeted their viewers with their large grins.
*"I'm Herb Herbertson and this is the Knighton News Network!"* The man in the purple suit with lavender lines going throughout it with a light blue shirt under the suit and big, brown hair.
Alongside him was his fellow co-host the ever chipper squirebot Alice Squires.
Alice Squires had blue eyes and blonde hair with a pink torso and shoulders with metallic boots and hands. Accessorised with a blue belt and a golden necklace.
*"It appears there's a new mystery player in Knighton."* Herb announced to the viewers.
*"That's right, Herb."* Alice Squires added in her overly chipper voice. *"Just last night an invitation went out across the land announcing the death of a dark figure of Knighton history. Hela; Queen of Darkness."*
*"This once believed mythic threat turns out to be real and has passed. And with one Queen's passing another is to be crowned and given control of an army of Monsters upon her coronation."*
*"That's right, Alice."* Herb announced in his tv talk show voice. *"According to the announcement this next Queen is called: (Y/N); Queen of Monsters. And get this! According to monster tradition, there is an open invitation for anyone to challenge her ascension to the throne."
*"Oh, scary."* Alice Squires shuttered her robotic voice cracking slightly. *"The king has ordered that anyone brave enough to fight this so-called-Queen is welcome to. His words, not ours."* Alice Squires quickly added the last part.
"Dad, you bricking idiot!" Macy shouted as she facepalmed. Axl patted Macy on the shoulder to comfort her. "Ok, so much for good first impressions." Ronin loudly snorted. "Way to screw it up, royalty." Jay quickly shushed Ronin.
*"Yes, completely his words."* Herb completely agreed before turning back to his tv drone-tone. *"As we were saying, Locals are already getting involved."* And a picture of Jorah Tightwad and his Tighty Knighties. Shia LaBlade, Brickney Spears, Jousting Bieber, The Blok.
The Nexo Knights let out a loud groan and those from Ninjago got the impression the guy was a brick head just from his photo.
"'UGH! Why are they getting involved? They're ok at sports tournaments and shows but when it comes to the real duties of protecting the kingdom, they can't compete!" Macy loudly objected.
"Tightwad." Axl grumbled as an answer. "Although they are knights, they do not protect the kingdom of Knighton, having little to no fighting experience." Clay explained to Jay who was the nearest ninja to him.
The tv feed changed to live footage of the slimy, money-hungry blond. *"My Tighty Knighties are more than capable of winning some silly little challenge against some silly monsters."* Jorah Tightwad said proudly into the mic. *"So we are entering into this challenge."*
The Tighty Knighties were standing in the background looking all shiny and spiffed up for the interview.
"Welp, they're going to die. But good news when this goes bad you can all blame them." Ronin pointed out with a smirk. "Ronin, not now." Dareth hissed, trying to listen to the tv.

The Monsters were terribly excited and were already planning coronation gifts for their future Queen.
"What is all this?" (Y/N) asked looking around at some of the Monsters running around with boxes and items.
The Siren of Seaguard navigated her way to (Y/N)'s side. "The construction for extra barracks the Forest Monsters has begun." The Siren of Seaguard informed the soon to be Queen.
"Ah." (Y/N) responded moving out of the way of a Sea Monster carrying a large number of boxes.
"And the stage?" (Y/N) questioned glancing over at the construction of a stage and various props gathered to the side. "Preparations for celebrations and gifts for your inevitable rise to power and celebration of Hela's death." The Siren of Seaguard said.
"Oh, and I have received reports that they have chosen their representatives." The Siren of Seaguard reported. "I look forward to meeting them." (Y/N) yawned, she was slightly worn out.
"Sleepy?" The Siren of Seaguard asked with a sly smirk. "Somewhat." (Y/N) admitted rubbing her eyes. "I'll find someplace to sleep that is out of everyone's way once everyone else is settled." (Y/N) yawned again.
The Siren of Seaguard let out a small horrified screech at hearing that. (Y/N) looked at the songstress in surprise. No one had ever objected to her sleeping habits before, most approved of it saying it was practical.
"Darling, you're a future Queen. You can't sleep like some street urchin anymore." The Siren of Seaguard said.
"So?" (Y/N) asked. "I'm just another monster. Why should that matter?"
"Well, not really." The Siren of Seaguard replied under her breath. (Y/N) made no acknowledgment that she had heard the siren's remark about her as the Sea Monster continued to speak.
"You need to keep up appearances. You're the leader of a new age. And appearances are important. Your image is an important part of that power. We can't have you mistaken for a commoner." The Siren of Seaguard scolded.
"I don't mind." (Y/N) quickly objected. "Siren, I should stand with my fellow Monsters because of what I've done, not what I have."
"Darling. You must be a Monster whom the common folk aspire to be and to whom nobility must bow." The Siren of Seaguard scolded once more.
"Then let them judge me by my deeds." (Y/N) objected again. "They will question what they've heard, but they will believe what they see. They must see someone greater than legends." The Siren of Seaguard ordered.
(Y/N) let out a sigh and conceded unable to go against what she was being ordered. "Good girl, now run along to Hela's former chambers." The Siren of Seaguard ordered, waving her hands in a shooing motion.
"Why? Is something wrong?" (Y/N) questioned, slightly worried that there may be some nasty trap Hela had placed to torment them.
"Oh, darling. No." The Siren of Seaguard chuckled. "It's your bedroom now." The look of horror on (Y/N)'s face at hearing that was plain for all to see.

(Y/N) proceeded to walk down a long, dark corridor. The hallway to Hela's private bedroom was caveness, decorated with various sharp weapons hanging on the walls. "I'am not enjoying this." (Y/N) quietly whispered to herself. It wasn't the dark that was bothering her it was whom this wing formerly belonged to that was so deeply unnerving her.
After walking for a bit, (Y/N) reached a door. She slowly reached for the door handle.
Fragments of memory seemed to flash before her eyes. (Y/N) seemed to forget her courage, shuddering as she remembered one of the last times she'd faced the Queen of Darkness.
The dark figure that populated her nightmares entered the same room. "It seems I was wrong about your mastery of Fear." Hela said mocking her.
"You are cruel, evil and sadistic!" (Y/N) spat, turning her head away from the figure. "You're all I fight to destroy—I won't ever be like you!" The last word was included with disdain. "And I will not become a soulless human like you..."
(Y/N)'s hands balled into fists as she attempted to calm her thoughts. "Hela is no more..." She reminded herself to dismiss her negative thoughts when Echo walked up behind her.
"Hello!" The copper nindroid chirped enthusiastically. (Y/N) almost jumped out of her own skin. "Echo." (Y/N) gasped as she spun around to look at him.
"Is something wrong?" Echo innocently questioned her. "No!" (Y/N)'s response was so fast that it earned her a curious look from the nindroid. "Would you like me to open the door for you?" Echo asked eyeing the dark, wooden door.
At first (Y/N) was too flustered, unable to formulate an answer but regained some of her composure. "Sure if you want to." (Y/N) answered and stepped aside for Echo to access. Which he promptly opened, (Y/N) entering the room cautiously after him.
They quietly walked into the room, Hela's evil aura still covered all four corners of the room. Echo reached over and held her hand. (Y/N) felt just the feel of Echo's hand was comforting.
The room was large and luxurious yet taciturn. The floors were made from grey stone, the walls following this colour. Walking to the centre of the room, as (Y/N) looked around, they drank in their surroundings.
The room had a small library, the bookshelves were repurposed coffins crammed with old, musty books and dusty, scrolls. (Y/N) noticed a desk filled with open books and notes—pages of fine and beautiful calligraphy about the dark magic. Studying them, (Y/N) realised that the calligraphy was probably Hela's.
Flinching slightly (Y/N) turned her attention to the bed in hopes of getting her mind off the writings.
The bed was large four-poster bed large enough to fit five people comfortably, the bed frame was fashioned from smooth dark wood, the headboard was made from the same wood as the bed and was adorned with sophisticated yet terrifying carvings, the bedposts had rings of metal with rusty spikes adorning them with every five inches and the sheets were made from thick, black furs.
The canopy that hung above it was made of delicate, black lace with matching curtains and each side of the bed there was a jagged, ebony like stone nightstands with a metal ring with spikes around the tabletop edges.
There was an old fashioned wooden bathtub with a privacy screen and matching wooden bucket in the corner closest to the end of the room. The wooden bathtub and the wooden bucket also had spikes on the metal bindings. At the end of the room, there was a large window covered by thick, dark curtains.
Across the room from the bed was a gothic armoire dressing table with a cracked mirror. The carvings around the mirror depicted people who looked an awful lot like they were dressed in Ninjago style clothing being eaten by dragons and monsters. Various glass jars sat on the table filled with frightening as well as sickening contents.
In the centre of the room was a creepy, candle lit chandelier swayed overhead, creaking every time it swayed.
"This place is creepy." Echo announced not taking his eyes off the chandelier. "I agree, unfortunately, I've been ordered to sleep here." (Y/N) informed him and Echo squeezed her hand tighter in an attempt to comfort her.
There was banging at the door that made them both jump. "Hey, (Y/N), Echo!? You two in here?" Chokun called out from the other side of the door.
Both Echo and (Y/N) let out a deep sigh and went over to the door to let Chokun inside. Standing outside the door were not just Chokun but also Lasha, Snappa and Mezmo. The rest of the Treble-Makers quaking from bing in the creepy hallway.
All four Serpentine quickly ran into the room, the four Serpentine looked around the room. "Wow! It's, even more, creepier in here." Snappa said clutching onto Lasha for comfort. "Yeah, super creepy." Mezmo agreed hugging Chokun tighter.
"Their making (Y/N) sleep here." Echo informed the Serpentine members of the Treble-Makers. The Serpentine looked at (Y/N) in shock then back at the creepy room.
"It was Hela's." (Y/N) explained to the equally creeped out band members. "Ah." Mezmo said out loud eyeing the creepy room again. "Re-decorating?" Chokun asked out loud. "Re-decorating." Lasha and Snappa agreed at the same time.
"Is-is that a human hand?" Mezmo shouted pointing at the gothic armoire. "Hela was a necromancer." (Y/N) said with a shrug.
