Sewer Search

(Seliel's POV)

"So what's the deal with Kai?" I asked my friends as I took a seat beside my boyfriend Cole, setting my tray of food onto the lunch table "It feels like he's avoiding us"

"K-K-Kai? Avoiding u-us?! I don't k-k-know what you're talking a-about Seliel!" Jay stuttered out with a nervous chuckle as he began to eat his lunch. Is he being serious? Kai hasn't been to school in like a week! I've tried to text him to see what's up but I've gotten no response

"I'm sure he's just..........busy" Cole said to me, swallowing his second slice of cake he bought

"Busy? With what?" I asked my boyfriend, confused on what thing Kai could be busy with. The only thing that really comes to mind is that he's busy putting all hair gel out of stock

"Kai's fine Seliel, there's no reason to worry" Nya told me with a smile, but I could tell she was forcing it. Has Kai gotten himself involved with some bad apples? I sure hope not, I would hate to see Nya and Skylor deal with that..........speaking of Skylor 

"Is everything going alright between you two Skylor? You guys didn't break up or anything did you?" I asked the red head, almost making her spit out her drink at the question 

"What?! Me and Kai breakup!? That's crazy talk Seliel!" Skylor laughed before returning to her lunch, trying to drop the conversation. Looking at everyone else at the table I just know they're hiding something from me, and with Jay sweating like crazy from the simplest of questions about the spiky haired teen I just know that I'm onto something! Have they all gotten themselves involved with some bad apples? 

"Let's just enjoy our lunch shall we? All this Kai talk can wait for after school" Lloyd spoke up, ending the conversation before I could pressure Jay into spilling the beans. Reluctantly nodding my head I joined my boyfriend in enjoying some cake for lunch, which took awhile to get used to but I gotta say Cole is really onto something

It didn't take long for us to finish our lunch and for the end of lunch bell to ring, teachers spilled into the Cafeteria and started to usher us towards the last few classes of the day. Thankfully those last few classes of the day went by pretty smoothly, only a minimal amount of homework so that's good. Once I left my final class of the day I soon found Cole leaving his last class and we of course decided to walk out of the school together, hand in hand

Stepping out of the boring school building Cole and I were both greeted by the others who looked relieved they could finally leave the school grounds now that we finally left the building. As usual we all walked down the streets of Ninjago City together until I had to depart from the group and head home, but I made sure to leave Cole with a parting gift on the cheek before leaving for my hometown. I sure hope dad isn't busy with his Nom work, I could really use his help with some of my homework........




(Zane's POV)

After saying our goodbyes to our dear friend Seliel Jones, the other Ninja and I continued on our way to the Warehouse. I am very eager to see what we will be doing today, perhaps we shall learn a new skill? Or perhaps if Sensei does not have any Ninja training planned for the day we could all play a board game! Oh I do enjoy myself a good old fashioned board game, even if I am unclear about what draws me to them I do know that I always enjoy myself. Serpentine and Ladders has got to be at the top of my board game ranking, and now that we are currently dealing with the Serpentine it really makes me want to retrieve a copy of the board game to play with the others. Maybe if we decide to have another sleepover I could bring it and we could all have some good board game fun! Though I do believe the others are more interested in video games, which I do not blame them, they can truly be incredible. But for me nothing will ever beat a classic board game

"H-Hey ummm N-Nya?" Jay suddenly spoke, making the girl turn her attention towards the freckled teen, her gaze seemingly making him more nervous "I-If you uhhhh d-don't mind me asking, w-w-what really is the d-deal with K-Kai? Why hasn't he s-shown up for s-school?" 

The sibling of the recently removed Fire Ninja let out a sad sigh before beginning to answer the short Ninja "I have no idea Jay, ever since that day at the Volcano I haven't seen him step foot out of his room once" Nya began to tell us, a frown across her face the entire time "He definitely isn't taking this removal well, I really hate to see him in such a bad state" 

"I'm sure Kai will be fine Nya" Lloyd reassured the ripped jeans wearing Ninja "And I'm sure Sensei will regret his decision and ask Kai to join us again"

"I don't know Lloyd" Cole chimed into the conversation as he placed both of his hands behind his head "Sensei looked pretty serious to me, I'm not sure he would go back on a decision that big"

"He has to!" Skylor suddenly shouted out "Kai was a great member of the team and he doesn't deserve to be kicked!"

"As much as I thought he could be a bit of an idiot, I have to agree with Skylor on this one" Harumi agreed with the red headed orange Ninja "The team just doesn't feel right without that large spiky hair of his" 

"I am sure Sensei will be open to hear about any reasons that Kai should be allowed to rejoin the team" I said to my teammates as we continued on our walk towards our Warehouse hideout, but our walking was interrupted when we all heard a very startled scream. Turning towards the location of the scream my bright blue eyes could see that Jay was without a doubt the cause of the scream

"What's wrong Jay?" Nya asked the scared looking Ninja with worry "Did another Fangpyre bite you?!" 

"N-N-No, I just a-almost fell into t-t-this open m-manhole" Jay stuttered out as he pointed in front of him to an opened manhole, with the cover tossed to the side "W-W-Why is this thing open?! D-Did they want m-m-me to fall in?! D-Did they know I'm the B-Blue Ninja?!" The auburn messy haired teen started to freak out

Becoming curious on the matter of the opened manhole I stepped close to inspect this possible assassination attempt on my friend, scanning both the manhole cover that was to the side and the ladder that led down to the sewers beneath the City told me about who may have almost taken out our favourite Lightning Ninja

"Ugh I bet it was a group of no good trouble makers!" Lloyd groaned in frustration as he went to cover up the manhole, but before he could cover the hole I stopped him with one of my arms

"If you were to actually bet on that answer I am afraid you would lose" I told my green jacket wearing friend, I do hope he does not get involved with betting because I fear he would not be the best "The true culprit of this possible assassination is without a doubt our current enemy the Serpentine!"

The other Ninja stepped back with a gasp at the new information I had given them, could the sewers perhaps be the resting place of the final Fang Blade? If so it is a very good thing that I can just switch off my smelling ability

"The last Fang Blade must be down in the sewers!" Cole shouted out as if he had managed to read my mind, which would be impossible with me being a Nindroid. Or at least I believe so, there really has not been any concrete evidence of someone able to read the minds of other people and Nindroids

"Yuck the sewers?" Harumi grimaced at the thought of jumping down into the dirty sewers that were beneath us "I would rather not get my nice clothes dirty" She finished with her arms crossed

"Well Rumi it's a good thing I make you all have your Ninja gi on hand at all times" Lloyd smirked towards Harumi before he carefully started to make his way into the sewers below us with the help of the quite rusty ladder

The rest of us were quick to follow him, except for Jay and Harumi who were both quite afraid of either slipping off the ladder or getting their clothes dirty, but a few encouraging words from Lloyd and Nya later the two of them sucked it up and followed the rest of us down into dark and scary sewers 

Once all of us were safely off the rusty ladder we quickly spun into our colourful Spinjitzu tornados and changed into our Ninja gi, ready to explore the sewers we have found ourselves in 

"So which way do we go?" Cole asked as he looked left and right, scratching his head in confusion "And how are we supposed to see? It's pretty dark down here"

"I believe I can help out with both of those problems" I said to my muscular friend before turning my bright blue eyes all the way up, illuminating most of the sewers so we could properly see "And now to solve the direction problem" My blue eyes began to scan the ground we were standing on, looking for anything that could tell us which way the Serpentine may have went. After only a minute of scanning the ground my eyes lit up as they discovered a faint pattern of scales on the ground

"This is the way we must go" I told the other Ninja as I started to walk down the faint trail left by the Serpentine, which would hopefully lead us to the last Fang Blade. We must stop at nothing to retrieve this final Fang Blade, the Serpentine shall not be allowed to unleash the Great Devourer

"A sewer is a pretty weird place for the final Fang Blade to be kept" Skylor quietly said from behind Harumi "Are we sure this isn't just a distraction to keep us away from getting the actual last Fang Blade?" 

"There is a possibility this may not be the final Fang Blade's resting spot" I turned around to look at Skylor "Perhaps the Serpentine are only using the sewers to safely get to the Fang Blade without us interfering. Or perhaps these sewers are being used as a hideout for the Serpentine" 

"W-Well whatever this place is b-b-being used for I j-just hope we don't r-run into another group of colour c-coordinated t-teenage Ninja" Jay quietly spoke as he clung tightly to Nya's left arm

Another group of colour coordinated teenage Ninja? I am not exactly sure what Jay is talking about, as far as I know there have been no reports of another group of colour coordinated teenage Ninja. If there actually is another group of teenage Ninja that could possible be very helpful, perhaps we could team up and stop the Serpentine from getting this last Fang Blade


As we ventured further into the sewers we found no sign of another group of teenage Ninja or the Serpentine, but we definitely found a lot of rodents and spiders. Jay and Harumi did not like this at all, the both of them made sure to close their eyes and stay close to Lloyd and Nya. The rest of us were fine with the occasional rodent and insect, but there was still a few times when Skylor, Cole and Lloyd jumped a little, it was rather amusing seeing my fellow Ninja get scared of something so little. Cole's high pitched scream which I may or may not have recorded is definitely a highlight of our sewer trip 

After exactly 15 minutes and 23 seconds of following the Serpentine's trail we seemed to have finally reached the end, which stopped right under another rusty ladder 

"The Fang Blade must be up there!" Cole pointed up to the top of the rusty ladder before he eagerly shot forward and started to quickly climb the old ladder 

"L-L-Let's follow C-Cole's lead and get o-out of here!" Jay stuttered out as he ran up to the ladder and frantically began to climb up to the top where Cole was waiting for us, he really did not want to spend another minute down here

The rest of us shared an amused expression before following the two's lead and climbing up the ladder which would finally get us out of the sewers. Once Harumi eventually reached the rest of us at the top, Lloyd placed the cover back over the manhole and we took in our surroundings, not seeing any sign of a Fang Blade. Only the outskirts of Ninjago City 

"Did we seriously go through the sewers all to just end up at the outskirts of the City?!" Harumi yelled out in frustration as she frantically checked all over her Ninja gi for any spiders 

"It would appear I was correct in guessing the Serpentine were using the sewers to sneak their way towards the last Fang Blade" I told the other Ninja as they continued to look around them  

"S-S-So is t-that it? W-We can go t-to the W-Warehouse now?" Jay asked with a slightly excited tone, hoping this was the end of our small adventure 

"Does the trail end here Zane?" Lloyd turned around and asked me, ignoring Jay's slight excitement 

I turned away from Lloyd and scanned the ground around us to see if the Serpentine's trail continued on the surface. It took no time at all for my scanners to locate the same scaly pattern that was down in the sewers, my blue eyes followed the markings to see that the trail led off past the City and towards the Sea of Sand

"The trail continues that way" My black gloved hand pointed in the direction the Serpentine's trail continued

"Alright, I'll make a quick call to Sensei to tell him we aren't coming to the Warehouse and then we can continue following after the Serpentine" Lloyd said before retrieving his cracked phone from the hidden pocket on his black and green gi 

Sensei was fine with us not showing up at the Warehouse and encouraged us to chase after the Serpentine, much to Jay's disappointment. We all pulled out our Golden Weapons and quickly summoned our vehicles, Skylor had to ride along with Cole in his Tread Assault due to the lack of Kai's Blade Cycle

 I was going to offer Harumi a ride on my Snowmobile as we did not expect Nya's speedboat to function properly without any water around, but Nya surprised us when she summoned the silver and aqua coloured speedboat and pressed a button on the control panel making the speedboat transform. It was now standing proudly in front of us with two large and very muscular looking silver legs with aqua detailing holding it up 

"What do you guys think?" Nya asked us, a very pleased smile was hidden under her black and silver Ninja mask "I modified it a little bit some time ago, and I've just been waiting to show it off!"

"Wait we can modify these things?!" Cole shouted out from inside of his Tread Assault, knowing Cole he probably wishes to install an entire kitchen into his Golden Weapon vehicle 

"T-T-This is so c-c-cool N-Nya!" Jay began to fangirl over the modifications Nya had made to her speedboat, I could faintly see a slight blush appear on the Water Ninja's face which I am not very surprised by. I may be a Nindroid but that does not mean I do not know about the feeling that is love, and if I do say so myself I very much support all of those crazy fanfictions our fans have written about the two of them

"Oh umm thank you Jay" Nya recovered from her slight blushing and thanked the fangirling Ninja for the compliment as her speedboat bent down for both Harumi and Nya to board the speedboat 

"Now I really wish I had a Golden Weapon" Lloyd mumbled as he began to board Jay's Storm Fighter 

Once we were all in a vehicle I revved up the engine of my Snowmobile and shot off across the Sea of Sand, following the trail which would hopefully lead us to the final Fang Blade. The other Ninja made sure to follow closely behind me with Jay's Storm Fighter flying quickly above us, Cole's Tread Assault easily bashing through anything that was in front of it and Nya's speedboat running beside it with loud metallic clangs with every footstep, shaking the nearby sand. I made sure to set the speed of my Snowmobile to the highest level in hopes of catching up with the Serpentine who were hopefully not in possession of the Fang Blade just yet, where this trail may take us I do not know

But I do know that we must stop at nothing to protect those who can not protect themselves 



And with that iconic Zane line this chapter of Ninja Life comes to an end, I do hope you enjoyed reading it and make sure to let me know your thoughts in the comments! Where does the last Fang Blade rest? Have the Serpentine already grabbed it? Will Nya's speedboat continue to transform?! Be sure to stick around for the next chapter to find out the answers! Feel free to share this chapter with other Ninjago fans and make sure you go ahead and follow me too!
