Chapter 6 : A success or a failure?
The next morning, everyone was awake bright and early. They know for a fact that the sons of Garmadon are awake around this hour too. They wouldn't rest if their number one priority wasn't done. That was to capture him, the green ninja. As everyone was settling in their new base since they haven't really gotten time to do so ever since the 'green law-breaker' accident. "Oh right, I forgot to introduce you to the elemental masters. " Skylor put her bowl of cereal down and swallowed before introducing the ninja to everyone.
"You've already met, Karlof, Turner, Paleman and Shade. " she pointed at the four guys in which they waved with a smile. "And that's Neuro. Master of the mind. " she pointed. Neuro released a mind wave that entered all of the ninja's minds. He gave a smile knowing that they thought positive things about him despite his power being useless to others. " And Tox, master of poison. " the green haired elemental master walked closer to the others before stopping by Dareth. She gave a disgusted look. " Just what are you supposed to be? " she asked the man. Dareth turned around immediately. " I'm Dareth. Master of....Uh...brown! " he said pridefully. Tox didn't buy it. She knows that brown isn't actually a power. She wonders how the ninja are so fond of him. Jay and Cole lifted an eyebrow. " Brown?"
Dareth got to the center of the place and began imitating someone playing the electric guitar. " You'll witness the power of brown soon enough! " he told them, really into it despite not having an actual guitar in the first place. Skylor facepalmed and turned to the ninja. " That's Kai, master of fire. " she pointed at the familiar red ninja. Kai grabbed a plank of wood and lit it on fire. "If you ever need a torch or two, just tell me. ". " Jay, master of lightening. " Skylor continued. Jay looked at a nearby lamp and noticed it wasn't on. "Oh come on, did the electricitymen didn't change that last lightbulb? " he asked the master of amber. The girl shook her head. " We try to avoid all contact with strangers lately. Who knows? Someone from the S.O.G could just walk in here. " she explained. Jay zapped the lightbulb and there came out light. "There. Fixed it. " he smiled. Skylor walked to Zane. "This is Zane, Master of ice. He wasn't at the tournament for reasons. " the master of amber said guiltily. Her father just wanted to capture him due to his powers and potentially sell the nindoid to others.
The nindoid looked at everyone and waved. " Salutations everyone" he blinked. Skylor passed by to Cole. " Cole, master of earth. " she moved on. Karlof took a quick glance at him. " Hey, I remember you. You're that funny man that didn't want to make noodles. "He chuckled at the memory. Cole blushed lightly. " Well, I had better things to do. We just came on the island to find our nindoid friend and we sure did. " he smiled at Zane who seemed to be talking with Pixal. Zane really seems to enjoy her company and could possibly have a thing for her? That's what Cole thinks anyway. "Lloyd, master of energy or power? I don't exactly remember your title." Skylor apologized. The blonde even shrugged himself. " I go for both. But I don't even use them that much since everyone refers to me as the green ninja. " he said.
"Nya, the master of water. " she pointed. The girl was leaned against the wall as everyone looked at her. " What? You were expecting a guy to be the water ninja? " she joked. The others laughed. At first, the black haired girl wasn't too sure if it was a good idea to join the ninja team since she was a girl herself and that team was packed with boys. She thought that way until she heard of something called: Girl power. Being the only girl made her unique. She liked that because she barely stood out. The only time people really paid attention to her was when she was samurai X. She wished people paid attention to all her vehicles she made for the ninja. Now? She's got all that and she's now proud of her decision of joining the ninja team.
"Alright, That wraps it up. " Skylor nodded to herself. The orange coded girl went over to Kai who was talking with Lloyd, Jay, Cole, Zane and he gestured Nya to come over. " Listen guys, while we were coming back here from the 'green law breaker' accident, we believe to find pieces of the bounty. " Lloyd explained. Kai's eyes widened. " The bounty is still completely in tact? " he questioned. "Not exactly. There's just planks of wood and the keel is damaged. Harumi ran into it. " Nya growled lightly. "I'm sure you'll be able to fix it Nya, I believe in you. " Jay smiled. Hearing that, made the water ninja smile too. "So what are you guys up to? " Skylor asked.
"We were just planning on retrieving the pieces of the bounty so Nya could try to fix it. " Lloyd said clearly. Skylor thought for a moment. " Hm..I don't know. It seems risky. " she said kinda afraid. Kai stepped up and put a hand on her shoulder. " Don't worry about us, we're six people going out. We'll be fine. " he reassured her. "What if you guys get captured? " she continued with her questions. " Come on, we've battled even the most dangerous threats in Ninjago. A motorcycle gang can't possibly take us down. There's just one thing that could and that's the Colossi. " he gulped. Skylor looked at Neuro. "I'll send him nearby so you could just think of help and he'll be able to pickup your thoughts. " she concluded.
With that, the six ninja nodded and ran out, putting their hoods down. Lloyd didn't care if he would get captured by wearing green. They'll have to tire him out first. Neuro walked straight out after they did. He stood still on sidewalks, watching the ninja ran off in the distance.

"Are you sure you would be able to do this? Without me or the quiet one? " Ultra Violet checked Killow's bike numourous of times. Ever since the little incident that happened with her own bike getting sabotaged, she takes no risks. Killow nodded whilst laughing. " Garmadon asked for me and Mr. E only. This is a man job. " he told her. She looked away, blushing a bit. " Yeah I get that. I'm just worried for your safety. " she said in the most quietest voice she coude ever do which is not really quiet since Ultra is used to always being loud. Killow heard that and smiled. " Thanks I really aappreciate that cutie pie. " he winked. Ultra Violet punched him in the arm and ran back inside before exploding into a million of screeches. The big man laughed again as he waited for Mr. E to come down from Borg tower and join him.

Mr E and Harumi were in the planning room. " And what if this route is blocked off? " Mr. E pointed at the map of Ninjago. Harumi crossed her arms. " You seriously take me as an amateur?" The Quiet one grumbled. " Well there's pieces of broken wood planks all scattered around, use them as a ramp! Come on, this is a motorcycle gang." She rolled her eyes. Mr. E nodded and looked down. " My apologizes. Quiet one. " he said. She sighed and leaned back on her chair. "It's fine. I should really be going easy on others these days. " she said honestly. Mr. E shook his head. " Apparently the more strict you are, the more the S.O.G will make sure that your orders are not disobeyed. " he said a fact. Harumi's eyes lit up. " where did you get that piece of information? " she asked the nindoid. He pressed a button on his jacket. " Scanner. "
"Well that's useful." She said sarcastically. He said that whenever she's strict, her orders wouldn't be disobeyed. Yet, she's always strict and all that Garmadon asks is to track down Lloyd and capture him. Her orders all resulted in failures. How strict can she get? Seriously, in Ultra Violet's new TV show that just aired this morning. The gang already managed to find their first target which was Ronin. He is one of the most hardest people to catch around these streets. " Anyways, you want me and Killow to circle all around Ninjago specifically the seventh and sixth streets? " the nindoid repeated the plan. Harumi nodded. " the last place the green ninja was found was in the sixth street. So be observant! " she glared the nindoid before walking out of the planning room and went to Garmadon to signal that the captured his son was starting.
Mr. E wasted no time and rushed inside the elevator, pressed the button leading down and kicked the front door open to see Killow on his bike. " Ah! Mr. E. There you are. " he said with a smile. " Good morning Killow. " he greeted as he passed by the garage, grabbed his own bike and parked beside him. " What's the plan exactly? " he asked the artificial intelligence. Mr. E thought for a second. " The Quiet one said that we needed to look all around Ninjago City. Specially the Seventh and sixth streets. " he told him. Killow started the engine of his bike. " Sounds good. " he started driving off slowly. Mr. E smirked though it was unseeable due to his helmet. " Did you kiss your girlfriend goodbye? " he said to the big man. Killow stopped his bike completely and was all red when he faced the nindroid. " S-She's not my girlfriend! " he argued.
"Rightttt, well I know for a fact that if me and the quiet one wouldn't be there last night. She would have totally dared you to kiss her. " he said. Killow shook his head. " No, she wouldn't. We're just friends. ". It was ironic since that's exactly what happened yesterday when both Mr. E and Harumi were asleep. "Can we just get going now? " Killow asked before driving off at a fast speed. The nindroid let out a digital chuckle before following him.

"Oh so you weren't kidding! " Jay laughed as he picked up a plank of wood. Nya laughed too. " I don't like to kid around. Y'know, I like to get down to the serious business. " she smiled. Cole picked up several planks at the same time. He was the strongest ninja of the team. " So we just bring these back without getting caught? " he asked. Lloyd nodded. " Pretty much. I know it sounds like mission impossible with all these S.O.G guards roaming around but remember what master Wu told us. Anything is possible. " he reassured the earth ninja.
Cole began walking back in the direction of the garbage depot. " You're right little guy. Ninja never quit! " he said, completely motivated. The five other ninja raised their fists in the air. " Ninja never quit! " they repeated. With that, all six of them found a new spark of motivation and enthusiasm. While they were bringing back the planks one by one, they shared jokes and had breaks from time to time. "What possesses white hair and is a total witch? " Kai started. Lloyd shrugged. " Uh..one of the ghosts? " he attempted. The fire ninja shook his head. " Harumi. "He answered with a small laugh. The ninja burst out laughing. Even Lloyd, but his laugh. Was one of pain. His emotions for that girl were still confusing. He already told himself that he hated her. But his heart can't seem to accept that. Every time he sees her, his heart skips a beat and he can't deal a single blow on her when they're fighting. He'll need to learn to get rid of that trait soon. He needed to see her suffer. This is all her fault.
"The quiet one said that we needed to examine this street closely. " the ninja heard the voices of what seems to be a few guards from Garmadon's fist. They didn't spot any of the generals or even the second in command just yet. They were pleased with that. "What do we do? Hide? " Jay whispered, panicking slightly. Kai shook his head and glanced at what's left of the streets. " Can't. Cole And Zane took most of the planks back at the garbage depot. " he replied still keeping his whispering tone. "Where even is Zane and Cole? " Jay asked again. They just brought back the planks at the garbage depot. It's been five minutes and they're known to be quick on times like these. Maybe they just encountered a few guards on the way? Yet again, they wouldn't bring attention towards them. Kai gulped thinking of something else. " What if they got captured? " he said shakily. Lloyd interrupted. " No way, they're strong. They shouldn't be captured by those weaklings. "
"Let's just focus on the main problem at hand. "Kai told the both of them. " If Cole and Zane are really truly captured, we'll come rescue them. Now I'm saying this again. Shall we hide or fight?" He inquired his teammates. They heard whistling on the other end of the street. Must be the S.O.G guards checking this area once more. Lloyd narrowed his eyebrows as everyone stared at him. It was his call. He was their master. " I say we fight out of this. " he took out a sword from his sword holders which were on his back. Nya and Kai both summoned a ball of flames and water. As for Jay, he put his hood down and began zapping the fallen electricity wires on the road. When the guards step on them, they'all get electrocuted. All the ninja had to do was wait.
Though to their surprise, they heard motorcycles running over all those wires and left behind planks of wood. The electricity only made the machines go faster and fueled up. "Uh oh..." Jay backed away. Lloyd looked in his direction and couldn't help but clench his sword tighter. "We need to start fighting! Now! " he said charging to one of the vehicles. Kai and Nya gasped. " Lloyd! Wait! " their screams of scarce were audible. But it was too late, the green ninja was sent flying towards the other direction. He shut his eyes tightly as he felt his chest burn in pain. He has just been hit by one of the biggest motorcycles he has ever seen. The Oni chopper.
Inside of that bike, was the big man himself. Laughing at the accident. Mr. E soon came in riding his Oni bike. The two generals were here, viewing the green ninja's injuries. "Our lord requests for his son. I think it's time to hand him over, filthy ninja. " Killow spat at them. Jay ran over to Lloyd and helped him up. " Woah, are you alright? " he asked worriedly. Nya helped him up too. " You took a big hit, you should stay out of this fight. " she insisted. He grasped his bruised side and tried to walk but fell right on the ground. " I-I'm Fine. I've got this..." he muttered. Nya shook her head. " You are not fine. We need the elemental masters. " she said while spraying a wave of water in front of them and the S.O.G. It was the grace line.
Lloyd put his hand on the side of his head to try and send out a signal to Neuro. Skylor said he would be nearby, standing on patrol. He should receive that mind message. "Neuro! Please help, the S.O.G are here" he sent out. Nya looked at him. " Lloyd, what are you doing? " she asked the boy while spraying more water on the streets. There was definetly a flood that was gonna be formed. Jay electrocuted the water and everyone who dared step on it would be shocked. " Yeah, Don't waste all your energy. "He insisted. Killow and Mr. E laughed as they took out their respective Oni masks. Deception and vengeance however the purple Oni mask of Hatred hasn't been seen anywhere. It must still be with Harumi in Borg tower. That's what Lloyd thought. " give us the green ninja. Now. " Killow said in his menacing voice.
Nya sprayed him in the face. Though it blocked due to the mask. He laughed at her failure. " You fool. Water won't stop an Oni mask. "He said lifting some nearby cars. Nya lunged back and landed on top of Jay. He blushed and chuckled. " Are you alright? " he asked nervously, helping her up. She blushed too. " Yeah, That was a close one. " she admitted. Kai gave a disgusted look. " Save your romance for later. We've got company and we're losing. " he said, sending out fireballs at the S.O.G guards. That's until a familiar voice came up from behind them. " Not for long! " it was Cole and Zane. The black ninja slammed his fists on the ground and there evoked a huge gap between the streets. A huge earthquake if you ask Cole.
"Guys! " the four ninja yelled relieved. Zane stopped them there. " We didn't just bring ourselves but the elemental masters too. " he smiled. Karlof pounded his metal gloves on a bike in his way. " Sorry if Karlof is late to the party. " he aimed his fist at Killow. He may seem twice his size. But with his metal powers, no one is a match with Karlof. Turner rushed in front of Killow and punched his behind. " It seems like you needed our help. " he said as he punched serveral other guards. Lloyd gave a victorious grin. " It looks like we aren't surrending to you. " he said as he charged at the flock of guards. Killow growled as he lifted even more cars and tossed them at the ninja. Zane froze the incoming metallic vehicles. "How does it feel to lose? " he asked.
Mr. E backed away. " We're losing. We should retreat. " he warned the big man in which he gave a dismayed look. " You aren't giving up just yet? We still haven't captured the green ninja yet! "He yelled at the nindoid. As the artificial intelligence was about to answer. Lloyd stepped up between them. " Why do you guys work for Harumi? She's behind all this mess. Don't you just want to live a happy life with your loved one? " he inquired to both of them. Killow blushed and scratched the back of his head. " I'd like that yes. But I don't know if she wants to give up just yet." he told him. Mr. E shrugged. " I feel no emotions. "
Lloyd sighed. " Harumi is clearly a manipulative idiot. Who thinks she can just rule over our home. Please join us. Lord Garmadon's reign won't last for long. " he took his hand out. Killow and Mr. E looked at eachother before clenching their teeth. " Pathetic Lloyd. That's why our fearless leader didn't actually love you. You're delusional if you think we'd join you. Our leader and lord are just what we need. We'll never betray them. " Mr. E fought back. Lloyd raised an eyebrow. Not seeming hurt by his words.
"Never say never"
~~~
Killow and Mr. E seemed confused with what he had to say. "Heads up! " they heard a voice from on top of their heads. When they looked up, they saw Shade and Paleman waving at them with three heavy anvils. "Karlof said it was alright that we 'borrowed' these. " Shade said before lifting one anvil up. Mr. E looked at Killow. " You have the Oni mask of Deception! Do something!" He urged. The big man lifted his hand up but noticed that he was struggling to move it up. nothing wasn't happening. "Why isn't my powers-" he looked down to see Cole, Jay, Kai and Zane wrapping some rope around his waist and hands. " Sorry, this seemed up to be a tangled situation. "Zane sneered. Killow struggled to break free. " Ugh! I won't let you get away with this!" He yelled angrily. Lloyd put him back In his bike. "Oh we already did. Now tell my father to be afraid of us. The resistance will fight on. " he said determined.
That's the day where the mighty nindoid of vengeance, the man of deception and their ten guards lost against some elemental master teenagers. Seems like a fair match.
