Arrow holes that never close from cupid on a shooting spree

Feeling stupid cause I know it ain't no you and me

But when you're trying to beat the odds up

Been trying to keep your nods up and you know that you should know

----

The remaining Ninja walked through the doors of Cliff Gordon's Villa, aka Jay's new house. 

''Ahem. Welcome to my humble abode.'' Jay said, turning to them.

''Whoa,'' Cole said as the others looked in awe of the place.

''Awesome.''

''Wow.''

 ''Fear isn't a word where I come from.'' A Fritz Donnegan animatronic spoke, making the others turn to it.

''So how did you come across this place again?'' The Green Ninja aka Lloyd asked.

''I saved up. Yeah, that's it. Uh, I saved up every little bit and now ta-da, here's my secret hideout. Haha. Of course, it can be our secret hideout.'' Jay answered a bit nervously.

''Fear isn't a word where I-'' The Fritz Donnegan animatronic once again spoke, and Jay shook it, breaking the audio. ''-come from.''

''First, we lost Wu, then Misako. Now Kai. I don't know about you, but I'm starting to see a pattern.'' Lloyd told the others.

''Whenever one of us finds ourselves alone, we disappear,'' Zane replied.

''Then we stick together from here on out,'' Nya spoke. ''We need to take a look at that lantern. Jay hit the lights.'' 

''Lights. Lights. Where would they be?'' Jay asked, glancing around. ''Ah, found them! Ha-ah. Sorry, big house.'' He apologised, before hitting the wrong buttons, activating the air conditioner, the radio. ''Oh, no.'' He said,  before pressing the button to close the windows. ''Haha.''

 ''Wow. So this is supposed to point the way to the only thing that can stop Nadakhan?'' The Water Ninja asked.

''Not stop, slow. Remember, a drop of venom from a Tiger Widow can kill a normal person, but slow a Djinn down before he can disappear on us. If we need to trap him, we'll need this venom so let's figure out a plan.'' The Green Bean answered.

Lloyd, Nya, Zane, Remo and (Y/n) went over the plan while Jay was pulled aside to be talked with by Cole.

As they went over the plan, the Ice Ninja had a piece of paper which he filled with notes of the plan to show (Y/n), while Remo was trying to play a game where he would hide something and try to find it again.

''Of course. If I'm lying, may I be struck down right now by the First Spinjitzu M—''' Jay whispered, before being interrupted as the ground rumbled. ''Aah!''

''Fear isn't a word where I—'' The Fritz Donnegan animatronic spoke as the tv turned on. 

Jay found himself in Cole's lap and scooted himself off. ''Oh, it was just another quake. Haha. Boy, there's been a lot of those lately. Hahaha.'' He chuckled nervously.

He then looked under the cushions for the remote, finding it and pressing the ''subtitles'' button.

''Another piece to the puzzle, gone. Ninjago is stumped yet again as another chunk goes missing, this time from none other than Ninjago City.'' The News Reporter told his viewers.

''Sensei said he was worried Ninjago would fall apart without him. We need to get to that island now.'' Lloyd told the others.

''Go, see if you can find out what Nadakhan is up to,'' Zane said, and his Falcon flew away. 

---

The ninja arrived at the docks.

''I still don't understand why we don't take our Dragons,'' Jay spoke.

''Judging from the map, we won't have enough energy to sustain the distance,'' Icecube replied.

''We'd like to charter a ship.'' The Green Ninja told a sailor, who had a seagull standing on his hat, its wings flapping about.

 ''Ahem. One eye may be glass, but me other eye sees clear as a bell, a wicked storm's a-brewing, and there ain't no ships to chart.'' The sailor replied.

''Uh, oh, you're talking to me?'' The Spooky Cake Devourer asked. ''Uh, well, then, let's find another dock.''

''Hmm. All the others will be saying the same. Unless you own one of these beauts, the only way you're sailing out is on a wish and a prayer.'' The hiccuping sailer answered.

''A wish and prayer, you say, hmm. That wouldn't happen to be Cliff Gordon's boat now, would it?'' The Lightning Ninja questioned, pointing to a sailboat.

''Why, yes. Yes, it is. Why do you ask?'' The sailor asked. 

---

The Ninja stood on the boat, with (Y/n) at the front watching as the dolphins swam through the water in front of the boat.

''Ready about! Slacken a line! Now, now pay it out! That's well! Belay! Belay!'' Lloyd yelled.

 ''Full steam ahead! Let's use the wind while it's at our back.'' Cole replied.

Meanwhile, in the depths of (Y/n)'s mind, was Morro.

The Spooky Windy Weather Boy sat on a chair made from (Y/n)'s imagination, wondering why he couldn't communicate with (Y/n). 

He had seen her put on the necklace through of the windows of her eyes, and tried to help take off the necklace.

From what he knew, Morro decided the necklace was cursed.

But how did Chamille get it?

The Green Ninja handed Frosty the Ice Ninja a canteen filled with water.

''Here, you'll need this,'' Lloyd told him.

''Why do I need a canteen?'' Zane questioned.

''There may be no fresh water on the island. This way, we won't be without.'' The Green Ninja answered.

''But I'm a nindroid. I repeat, why do I need a canteen?'' The Ice Ninja asked.

''Maybe we could use a little extra water, in case we lose some of it.'' (Y/n) replied after Remo repeated his sentence to her.

Everything was going fine until:

''Storm. On the starboard bow!'' Nya informed the others after climbing down from the Crow's Nest.

''Huh?'' Jay said, confused.

''That's not just any storm, that's an electrical storm! Get ready, Jay, we're gonna need you.'' Lloyd told him.

''Need me?'' Lightning Rod asked. He was then placed on top of the mast. ''This isn't what I had in mind!''

 ''You have to act as out lightning rod or else the storm will tear our ship apart!'' The Green Ninja replied.

(Y/n) tried to use her powers to redirect the lightning, saving Jay from a few strikes, though she couldn't redirect them all. The metal conducted the lightning, travelling down to Zane who threw water out of a bucket into the sea.  

''It's because we have a Nindroid aboard.'' Cole realised, looking at Zane.

 ''Zane, you have to go below deck!'' Lloyd told him.

''Zane shouldn't be alone! We all need to stay together!'' Jay said.

''I'll go with him!'' (Y/n) replied, following the nindroid.

As Frosty the Ice Ninja walked down the corridor, he soon realised (Y/n) was following him. He turned to the ghostly kitsune, a worried look on his face.

He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from his pocket and wrote down something on it. He then handed it to (Y/n).

(Y/n), you should stay with the others.

The Orange Ninja looked at him. ''I'm not letting you go alone, Zane, I'm not letting you be taken by that djinn too.''

He gently took the paper from her hand, writing another sentence on it.

I am confident my plan will work, I have in mind what I need to say. 

(Y/n) sighed. ''I guess your mind's made up, there's no changing it?'' She asked. She then pulled him into a hug. ''Good luck Zane.'' 

''Thank you (Y/n),'' Zane replied, pulling out of the hug. He turned and walked away, intent on his goal.

The Ice Ninja picked up a chess piece before it could hit the floor. He then placed it on the board and noticed one move. ''Huh?''

The Cheesy Dorito Genie appeared and laughed. ''Your move.''

''My move?'' Zane asked.

''Yes. Surprised to see me?'' Nadakhan questioned.

''On the contrary. After analyzing Jay's reluctance for me to be alone, the only logical explanation would be his fear of your arrival.'' Frosty the Ice Ninja answered. 

''Signaling to me that you have visited him before. Since Jay is still here, it's understandable that he has not yet completed all of his wishes, and I sense it is the last wish that has trapped the others into your sword.''

''So you are the smart one. Then I take it you do not want to make a wish.'' Bootleg Will Smith replied.

''One of the smart ones,'' Zane corrected him, referring to (Y/n).

''Be careful, Zane. It is foolish to believe you can outsmart him.'' Pixal warned him.

''Not now, Pixal! I do want my three wishes. But on my third wish, it will not be I who will disappear, but you.'' He told the Cheeto Genie.

''With Zane gone, the lightning's subsided!'' Nya told the others, at the wheel.

''But now there's that!'' Lloyd replied, pointing to a giant water spout. 

''Well, what are you waiting for?'' Nadakhan asked. ''Make your first wish.'' 

''For my first wish, I wish that you'll not twist my words, nor find a loophole, but understand the true intentions of the words that I speak, and carry out your will as I've thoroughly instructed,'' Zane answered, making sure his intention was clear.

''Very well, I understand you perfectly and shall take you at your word. Your second wish?''

 ''It is imperative that from here on out, whatever harm may befall me, will be done unto you tenfold.''

''I have not heard that one before. Very good.'' Cheese Cream replied.

 ''Portside!'' Jay warned.

''Now for my third wish—'' The Nindroid started.

''But for clarification, you said whatever harm may befall you.'' Nadakhan interrupted.

''What do you mean?'' Zane asked.

''What if said harm were done to say, someone else?''  Cheese Puff asked.

''Now you are twisting my words.'' Frosty the Ice Ninja replied.

''No, I am absolutely certain I heard you perfectly. No harm shall befall you.''

 ''I warned you not to do this, Zane. You must not make another wish.'' Pixal reminded him.

''By that definition, I could simply delete bits of information from your hard drive.'' Nadakhan then proceded to delete Pixal. 

''Pixal!'' Zane cried out.

''There's no harm in that now, is there?'' The Cream Cheese Genie asked.

Cool Icecube gasped. ''My third wish. My-My third wish.''

''Yes. Your all-important third wish. Make it count. But know no matter what happens to me, the sweet little voice inside your head will be all but gone. Erased. Checkmate.'' he said, putting Zane's king in checkmate.

''I wish...I wish for it all to go away!''

There was a flash of blue light inside the boat, and the Ice Ninja was absorbed by the Djinn Blade.

''Brace yourself!'' Lloyd yelled.

---

The sailboat crashed on the shores of Tiger Widow island, with its inhabitants scattered across the sand. ''Where's Zane?'' Lloyd asked the others.

''Maybe he's lost at sea,'' Nya answered.

''Nindroids don't get lost.'' The Green Bean replied, looking at what was left of the chess set.

''It was Nadakhan. But don't ask me how I know, ask Jay.'' Cole told them.

''What is he talking about, Jay?'' Nya questioned.

''Uh...'' Jay stuttered. 'Chapter two, don't tell them the truth. Tell them what they want to hear.'  ''Look, there's Zane.'' He said and pointed at the sea. 

Nya gasped. ''What?''

''Huh? Where?'' Lloyd asked.

''There! There!'' Lightning Rod exclaimed, and (Y/n) sighed.

 ''The only thing I can see is your stupid hand, Jay.'' The Water Ninja replied.

''No, no, look! He's there!'' Jay tried to reassure them.

''Enough is enough! Jay has already been alone with Nadakhan. The mansion, the boat, he wished for them.'' The Earth Ninja told the others.

 ''You swore you wouldn't say anything,''  Ginja replied.

''The reason he's here and the others aren't is because Jay never made his third wish. And if Zane knew that, maybe he'd still be here.'' Cole informed the others, who stood behind him, while (Y/n) stood with Jay.

''Why didn't you tell us?'' Nya asked.

''I'm sorry. I just couldn't.'' Ginja answered.

''It's because when he saw his future, you were with him.'' The Earth Ninja said. Remo looked at him with disbelief, before repeating the sentence to (Y/n).

''You told me we were never gonna happen. I thought maybe these wishes were the very thing that would bring us together. I had to try.'' Jay told Nya.

''Well, I know who just nominated themselves to extract the Tiger Widow's venom.'' The Water Ninja replied, punching the Lightning Ninja's chest.

 ''In my defence, I did just find out my parents are not my birth parents,'' Jay replied.

''It's my fault actually.'' (Y/n) spoke, making the others stop to turn to her. ''I could have stopped Zane from meeting Nadakhan, but I didn't. I let him, so don't blame Jay for this.''

The Lightning Ninja looked at her in surprise. 

She continued on: ''Jay wished what he wished for, and it got us here, to where we needed to be. We can always find a way off this island.''

''Let me extract the Tiger Widow venom.'' She finished.

There was a moment of silence as the others looked at her in shock, taken aback by her words.

Cole then spoke up. ''This is Jay's punishment for putting us in this mess.'' 

The others then turned and walked away, leaving the two catch up. Jay then picked up his book and glanced at (Y/n), whose fox ears were flattened.

''We should catch up,'' (Y/n) said, and the two ran to catch up with the others albeit reluctantly.

---

The ninja crossed a bridge, and below was a dark abyss.

''The Tiger Widow's den should be just up ahead. Watch your step.'' Lloyd told the others.

''You don't have to tell me twice,'' Cole replied, looking down through the spaces between the planks.

The Lightning Ninja sighed. ''Just how am I supposed to extract this dangerous venom? Can I ask it nicely?''

''Well, maybe if Zane hadn't been captured, we would have a Nindroid around to tell you,'' Nya replied.

''Ooh, that's a low blow. I mean, do we know anything about this Tiger Widow?'' Jay asked. ''Other than it was named to strike terror in the hearts of men.''

''Zane told me it's the last of its species. So it sounds like you've only got one chance at this. But I'm sure you'll be just fine—What are you doing now?'' Cole questioned, seeing Jay lay down on a hammock spiderweb.

''Resting my feet on this hammock. We've been walking for miles. If I have to face this thing alone, I'm gonna need to be well-rested.'' Ginja answered.

''Jay, I don't think that's a hammock,'' Lloyd told him, and the Lightning Ninja quickly realised he was laying down on a spider web, with another that had a skeleton on it.  

''Aah! Get it off me! Aah! Get it off of me! Get it off of me!'' Jay panicked, breaking free and spitting the spider web out. 

''We have to keep moving,'' Nya said.

The Lightning Ninja groaned. ''Haven't I suffered enough?''

''No!'' The others but (Y/n) and Remo yelled.

---

''There it is. The nest.'' Lloyd told the others.

''Well then, what are you waiting for?'' Cole asked Jay.

 ''Well, I'm sorry if I'm not jumping down there right this instant. Do you see what I'm seeing? Of course not. Because all I see is my life flashing before me!'' The Lightning Ninja yelled.

''Now are you ready?'' Nya questioned.

''Whatever happened to sticking together? What if Nadakhan persuades me to say my final wish? Any number of bad things could easily happen to me alone down there!'' He told the others, before sighing. ''I have no friends.''

He then slid down a vine, his book in his hands.

''Use your canteen to collect the venom!'' Cole told him.

''Thank you, Mr Helpful, but I got this!'' Jay replied sarcastically, pushing past the spider webs. 

''Ugh. Ew. Here, Tiger Widow. Hahaha. I've come to ask nicely for your venom. Haha. I like tigers. Are you a little tiger? Or just a big scaredy-cat? Hahaha.'' He asked, looking around for it. 

It then appeared. ''Aah! It's so big! How do I get venom when his fangs only come out when he tries to bite me!?''

''Then let him bite you!'' Cole replied. (Y/n) glanced at him, annoyed.

''If I get out of here, I'm gonna bite you!'' The Lightning Ninja retorted.

''Sky Pirates!'' The Spooky Cake Devourer warned, looking up.

''Take cover,'' Lloyd replied, and the ninja took cover as the spot they just were exploded.

''Finally, we're alone.'' Cheese Creep spoke, and the Water Ninja attacked, but missed. ''Dilara was filled with fire too. When this is all over, you will be mine.''

''Not fire, four arms. Don't ever forget, I'm a tall glass of water.'' Nya reminded him.

Venom dripped from the Tiger Widow's fangs. ''Ugh, disgusting! This is not okay!'' The giant spider's fangs get stuck in Jay's book. ''I see the fangs!''

''Then hurry up and get the venom!'' Lloyd shouted as the spider sprayed venom at Jay, missing.

''Oh, sorry for the delay! I've never had to milk the fangs of a giant spider before!'' The Lightning Ninja shouted back. He then shocked it. ''Hahaha! You don't like that, do you?''

''Cute haircut. But you could use a trim.'' Dogshank told Nya, throwing a part of her chained weapon at the girl, missing and making it cut a tree.

''Why is it some girls never get along? Can't we break that stereotype?'' The Water Ninja asked, before getting stuck on a web. The hulking woman broke it, confusing Nya. ''You freed me?''

''We fight like girls, not like cheaters. Let's see what else you've got.'' Dogshank replied.

(Y/n) joined in on the fight, facing Dogshank. ''This fight seems fairer now.''

Cole managed to land a hit on Bootleg Will Smith. ''I got him! Hahaha! I actually landed one on him.'' 

''I got it! I actually got it!'' Jay exclaimed.

''Get the venom!'' Nadakhan commanded.

''Until next time,'' Dogshank told the girls.

''Next time, we won't play so nice,'' Nya replied.

The hulking woman chuckled. ''Then it's a play date.'' 

Nya ran through Cole, who was running in the same direction, while (Y/n) stopped before she could bump into him. 

''Protect Jay!'' Lloyd told the others.

 ''That's one big spider,'' Cole replied, seeing the Tiger Widow right behind Jay.

''Hurry!'' Lloyd shouted, and they ran, with Jay & the giant spider behind them. They ran across a bridge. ''The bridge isn't strong enough. Hold on!'' He said as the bridge snapped in two.

''Gotcha!'' the Earth Ninja said, grabbing the canteen Jay was holding onto.

''Aah! Haven't I suffered enough?'' The Lightning Ninja asked.

''Getting closer,'' Nya said.

''Oh, you don't say,'' Jay replied, using his legs to try and keep the giant spider off him. 

 ''You are certainly in a precious position. Time is running out, but you have one wish left. You can wish it all—'' Nadakhan advised.

''Blah, blah, blah. You think I'm thick enough to fall for that trick? No way! I'd rather be eaten by a spider than listen to your beguiling voice.'' The Lightning Ninja told him.

''Then have it your way.'' Cream Cheese replied, and used a dagger to loosen Cole's grip on the canteen, making Jay fall.

''No!'' Jay screamed.

 ''Jay!'' The others shouted.

Nadakhan grabbed Jay by his arm and took the canteen from him. ''Now say goodbye to the only thing that can stop me.'' He then spilt the contents of it. 

''No! No, no, no! No.'' The Lightning Ninja panicked.

''And say goodbye to your friend.'' Floating Carrot Man told the ninja, disappearing with Jay, leaving the Tiger Widow to fall into the abyss.  ''I'll be back for the rest of you. And since you can't get off the island, I'll know exactly where to find you.'' He said, laughing. 

''Should we fly after them?'' The Earth Ninja asked.

''No. Save your strength,'' Nya answered.

(Y/n) reached into her pocket to pull the leaf out to shapeshift into a bird, but before she could do so, Lloyd stopped her, gripping her arm.

''Let me go.'' The Orange Ninja spoke, sighing.

''We can get Jay back,'' Remo told (Y/n), who loosened, and Lloyd let go.

''He has Jay and he just got rid of the only thing that can stop him,'' Lloyd told Nya.

''No, he didn't,'' Nya replied.

 ''Huh?'' The Green Bean said, confused.

''He emptied the wrong canteen,'' Nya told the others, showing them the canteen with the Tiger Widow Venom.

''You mean—'' The Spooky Cake Devourer said.

''We have the only thing that can stop him.'' Lloyd realised.

 ''And better yet, they don't know we have it. Jay suffered enough. It's time they do the suffering.'' Nya said with a smile.

Yeah, I know, I asked this question once-

But I'll ask it again.

Favourite ship?

Alright ye endings, there's going to be multiple. New Rule: You can only request one ending from now on as I'm going to be doing a lot more if everyone requests two extra endings.
