(Third Person P.O.V)
Pythor was digging in the sand after the lost city.
"We are wasssting our time Pythor. There's nothing here but ssssand and dusst." Scales says to Pythor while coming down into the big hole.
"Keep digging! The lost city of Oroboros is under us. I know it!" Pythor replied irritated.
"Face it! The attempt to unite the clans failed. Now you have lossst your flock. You've become desssspersate." Scales says and pick up a shovel.
"I am desperate. My disloyal number two, but only to bring our kind together so that we can unleash the great Devourer!" Pythor argued.
"You put too much faith in legends. Besides, all the Serpentine know it's to be at war with one other." Scales said.
When he did, a sound of metal to metal could be heard from where Pythor stuck the shovel. Pythor wiped the sand away, and found a circle of some kind. He smiled and chuckled darkly.
"Scales. I believe we found it." Pythor says and turns the lever in the middle.
Around them, the sand began to sink away. When it did, there came towers up so they could be seen. When the whole city had come up, Pythor said to Scales.
"I presssent to you. The formally named... losssst city of Oroboros!" Pythor says to Scales.
(Y/N) P.O.V
"First, I stomp on his tail, then when he turns a thunderclap to his ears, then when he's stunned, I'll hit him!" Lloyd says loudly chatting away with the boys on this ship.
My head was pounding from the nightmare-fuel of a dream I had last night.
It felt so real:
It was pitch black and I was trapped; with no other choice, suffering under an enormous burden that I couldn't even begin to comprehend.
Then it happened... I was overcome with unending fear. I couldn't move I couldn't speak.
I could feel someone behind me. Laughing at my inability to move.
"I thought you were the girl who wanted this power. Did you lie to me? You wicked girl; Do not forget everything that I can do to you!" A disembodied voice hissed from behind me.
"Do you feel it? Don't fight it, girl. I can sense your apprehension, you must make 'them' dread you.
"What is the best way stun a Serpentine if you don't know what kind it is?" Lloyd asked Sensei Wu snapping me out of my thoughts.
"Sadly, it was the sacred flute you four carelessly lost." Sensei Wu says to the Ninjas. Making me smile.
"Hey! We didn't lose it. They stole it!" Jay shouts defend them.
"Whatever the case. Without it, I fear we have nothing to combat their powers. We may have prevented them from uniting in the past. But they will try again. And one day they will be stronger." Sensei Wu warns.
"Don't worry Sensei! I almost reached my full potential. And when I the green ninja, we're not gonna need any magic flute." Cole declared proudly.
"YOU'RE gonna be the GREEN ninja? Ha ha ha! Don't make me laugh." Kai laughed I raised an eyebrow what on earth were they talking about.
"I thought it was decided that I was destined to become the strongest ninja." Zane says.
"The only thing decided about you Zane, is that you're weird." Kai says to Zane.
Now all Ninjas was arguing about who was the green ninja.
"Lloyd, do you know what they are going on about?" I asked the small blond boy. He just shrugged.
"I like how you're the sane one in all of this." I tell him patting his head and Lloyd smiles up at me.
"Hey, Cowards! What are you all shrieking about this time." I shout making everyone silent.
"It's said that the green ninja is destined to defeat the dark lord." Zane tells me. "The green ninja is the strongest!" Jay exclaimed.
"And the most powerful." Cole added.
"Well, I don't care about any of that stuff." I yarned tired from the lack of sleep.
"How could you not care about what destiny has written," Zane questioned.
"Because I don't believe in it and how can a concept write something?" I responded back.
(Third person P.O.V)
The Ninja stared at (Y/N) as if she had grown a second head. Lloyd, on the other hand, was more interested in the box his uncle had in front of him.
"So, what's it the box?" Lloyd asked changing the subject of the group.
"New uniforms." Sensei Wu says and opens the box. The ninjas immediately picked up their uniforms. Studying them.
"Oh... Nothing for me?" Lloyd asked disappointedly. "Oh.. er... You get.. ah... the box?" Sensei Wu says not having anything for him.
The alarm sounds, taking everybody's attention. Everyone rushed out of the room into the bridge.
When they arrived at the bridge Lloyd was running around with his arms in the air, talking about an amusement park.
"Can I go!? Can I go with you!? Please! (Y/N)! Can I go!?" Lloyd yelled louder as she walked inside.
"I'm sorry nephew. You two will stay here where it's safe."Sensei Wu orders his nephew. Lloyd was instantly disappointed and walked over to (Y/N).
"Aww! Ninjas get all the fun..." Lloyd sulks with a cracking voice.
"What do you say, guys. Time to try out the new merchandise?" Jay asked the other ninjas.
Lloyd made a disappointed face when he heard the Ninja's joyful shouts as they jumped down from the destiny's bounty. Nya began to make faces and hand signals to (Y/N). (Y/N) nodded understanding what Nya wanted.
This time she turned to Sensei Wu. "What was that destiny has written nonsense Zane was spouting earlier how can a concept write something?"
(Y/N) P.O.V
I vowed to never cover for Nya with Sensei Wu again... That was the single most boring thing I had listened to in my life... So boring in fact that I agreed for Lloyd and I to go outside with the red one just to get away from Sensei Wu...
(Third Person P.O.V)
Kai had planned to look for the Samurai without his brothers knowing about it by offering to watch (Y/N) and Lloyd he was more surprised that (Y/N) agreed to it.
"Okay, I know it's my turn to watch you two and make sure you're not up to anything evil, but just play a few games at the arcade while I look around. I have a feeling the samurai might show up." Kai says and gives Lloyd some money.
"Well, let us help!" Lloyd pleaded. "No!" Kai and (Y/N) answered at the same time. Kai raised an eyebrow at (Y/N).
"Lloyd, Sorry. But I've put up with enough boring Ninja related things today thanks to your uncle." (Y/N) sighed and led Lloyd inside the Kiddie Arcade as Kai drove off.
"Why could he at least dropped us off at a good arcade." Lloyd pouted as a familiar green bus drove past the arcade.
Lloyd's only problem, once he was inside, was what game to try first. Llyod found one entered his token and waited for the arcade machine to start up.
The picture suddenly froze and Lloyd watched in child-like horror as the words 'Game Over!' flashed on the screen.
"What!?" Lloyd shouted. Lloyd spotted an attendant walk past them and told the woman. "This thing just ate my tokens." Lloyd complained pointing at the machine
"Read the sign kid." She hissed pointing out a sign on the wall to Lloyd and went to chat with a hot guy behind the prize counter.
The sign in question read 'Play at your own risk!'
Lloyd hadn't been the only one swindled at this arcade other children were crying and pouting at their malfunctioning arcade games.
(Y/N) fumed and grabbed the machine with both hands and a wave of grey energy cracked from them and all at once hundreds of tokens and tickets poured out of not just the machine she was holding onto but all of the arcade machines.
The children erupted into cheers and started scooping up the tickets and tokens.
"How did you do that?" Lloyd asked (Y/N) his arms overflowing with tickets.
"I don't know but how about we keep this our secret." (Y/N) told Lloyd grabbing some tickets for herself.
(Ninjas P.O.V)
They were sitting and discussing how to find the Samurai. "Any luck with you?" Cole asks his brothers.
"The guy's like a ghost. One moment he's there, the next he's gone." Jay complained.
"I'm starting to believe we might never catch him." Zane admitted.
"It's safe to say, none of us is closer to be the green ninja." Kai sighs with a glass of water in his hand.
"Looks like iron is sharping iron." Sensei Wu say and walk in through the door. "I feel you've got closer to your full potential." Sensei Wu says as he feels Cole's muscles.
"Ow..!" Cole muttered. Then Sensei Wu looked around noticing someone was unaccounted for. "Where is my nephew and his friend? I thought you were looking after them." He asked Kai.
"I thought Cole was going to pick them up." Kai says shifting the blame for the fact that he completely forgot about them.
"Jay was--" Cole started until Jay cut him off.
"Don't bring me into this." Jay says back to Cole. "Besides; he has his babysitter with him how much trouble could he get into with her watching him?" Jay points out with confidence.
"We must find them, quickly." Zane warns heading out the door to find them.
The ninjas turned their weapons to vehicle's, then drove to where Kai last saw them. "Hey guys, check this out!" Cole calls out pointing to the small army of children walking down the street arms filled with prizes.
"Come on boys!" Kai says and waves to the others to come along. "What is this?" Cole asked walking in the door of the Kiddie Arcade.
(Y/N) and Lloyd were behind the counter of the prize station exchanging the tickets or prizes while the boy and girl running the place had been tied up by (Y/N) with the chain of her Meteor Hammer.
"Don't push! You'll all get to turn in your tickets." Lloyd called out to the crowd of tiny children all holding out handfuls of tickets.
"Looks like some kind of tiny uprising." Jay commented as one child walked past them with his prize a huge stuffed rabbit.
"Let's get a closer look." Kai says and they all got closer. (Y/N) took a handful of tickets and counted them out for the little red-headed boy who was having trouble.
"What are you to doing?" Cole asked them cutting in front of the line of children. "Wait your turn, Cole. No cutting in line." Lloyd ordered pointing to the end of the line.
The children he cut in front off started to yell and kick at Cole's legs. The other three Ninja laughed at Cole and went to wait at the end of the line.
_____Oroboros____
"Looksss like we caught the main event. " Pythor laughed.
Metal gates opened from the wall and out walked Nya in her Samurai exosuit. Two large groups of snakes led her around by the chains she had on.
Nya tries to activate the jet-pack in her Samurai exosuit. But the weight of the chains was too much.
The Serpentine burst into laughter and that many Serpentine laughing all at once was not a pleasant sound.
(Third Person P.O.V)
The last of the children collected their prizes waving goodbye to (Y/N) and Lloyd. Before (Y/N) turned her attention to the pair she had wrapped up in the chain of her Meteor Hammer.
"Cheat any more children and, I'll deliver you to the Serpentine as a snack." (Y/N) threatened the pair unravelling them from the chain of the Meteor Hammer and walking out of the Kiddie Arcade without looking back. Lloyd, on the other hand, made faces.
The Ninja just followed them outside unsure of what to do.
_____Timeskip____
The Ninja returned to horrible news that Nya was missing. Zane noticed the conflicted look on (Y/N)'s face when they were informed by Sensei Wu.
(Y/N) snuck off to Nya's room while the Ninja left to go looking for her. "Not good," (Y/N) said to herself after searching Nya's room for her Samurai gear.
"I do not mean to interrupt but if you know something that could help us find Nya it would be appreciated." Zane said from the doorway he had returned to the ship once the other boys had left.
(Y/N) bite her lip unsure what to do."(Y/N), Please. Nya maybe in trouble." Zane reasoned hoping to get her to see reason.
"I can't. I promised Nya I would keep her secret. I do not go back on my word." (Y/N) desperately pleaded passing back and forth in Nya's room.
"I'm sorry... I have to tell my brothers..." Zane said walking out of the room. "I understand." (Y/N) told him and went to wait on the deck for the red one's wrath.
(Y/N) went and sat on a crate with her weapon in her hands.
"(Y/N)!!!!!" Kai screamed his voice bellowing throughout Destiny's Bounty. "Deck." (Y/N) responded wit in seconds Kai raced out onto the deck and lunged at (Y/N) with his sword drawn.
(Y/N) just sidestepped him and he continued flying through the air into the wall behind her.
Sensei Wu heard the commotion and the sound of chain against sword rang over the ship.
(Y/N) grunted as she blocked another sword strike from Kai, who was unrelenting in his attacks. Having enough of this, (Y/N) rolled under his next sword swing and grabbed him from behind wrapping the chain of the Meteor Hammer around his neck choking him.
"(Y/N)." Lloyd whimpered from Zane's arms, scared of what would happen next. "Stay calm." Zane advised keeping Lloyd safe from the fighting.
Cole charged into the fight to rescue Kai swinging his scythe at (Y/N) who turned her attention to him. Blocking the scythe strike by kicking Cole's arm out of the way.
Seeing an opportunity Jay ripped out his weapon and lept it the fight. Aiming for the back of (Y/N) head while she was distracted by Kai and Cole. Jay's Nunchucks connected with the back of her head bringing (Y/N) to her knees; blood flying out of the large gash Jay's Nunchucks had made.
(Y/N) rolling out of the way of another attempted slice by Cole (Y/N) rushed him and punched Cole hard in the face, following up with a roundhouse kick, knocking the scythe wilder on his back.
Suddenly, Kai charged for (Y/N) letting out a yell, much like he did during their first fight. "WHERE IS MY SISTER!"
"I DON'T KNOW!" (Y/N) shouted back head-butting him into submission.
(Y/N) and Jay stared each other down waiting for one of them to make the next move.
"ENOUGH!' Sensei Wu shouted storming into the battle prying them away from one and other.
