Chapter 22: The secret plan

Peacebreaker kidnapped Borg to the Vengestone warehouse and tied him to a stone chair, specially carved.


The inventor had his arms and legs bound and his mouth gagged to block his screams and cries for help.


The Vengenstone warriors, who guarded him until the leaders and king arrived plugged their ears and croaked.


Peacebreaker, Harumi and the Crystal King arrived in the room and relieved the guards, who quickly fled.


- 'So... this is the inventor, the genius, you spoke of?- asked the King, looking at Borg from top to bottom, appraising him.


- Yes. He can build things, you can't imagine. - informed Harumi.


- Yes. But he could stop shouting and drilling so much already. - Peacebreaker said, croaking.


Harumi walked over to Borg and removed his blindfold. Borg looked around and was about to scream again, when Peacebreaker came up and put her sword to his throat.


- You start screaming again, and I'll slit your throat. - she threatened, pressing the blade against the man's neck.


Borg nodded frantically, closing his mouth. Peacebreaker smiled sarcastically and stepped back.


- Well, Mr. Borg. I would like to welcome you to my humble thresholds, and I apologize for the...batalisc resources of my soldiers. It's a bit... inappropriate on my part. I am the Crystal King, the future emperor of Ninjago, also called "Father of Monsters". - introduced himself with a fake smile.


- You are probably wondering, why you are here. You are here, because I have heard from my generals, that you are an outstanding scientist, who can build anything.


- Therefore, I demand, that you do something for me. I demand, that you build me a real war machine to help me in my power struggle.


Harumi removed the cloth, that was blocking Borg's mouth. He looked at the king with distaste.


- I will never do that. I won't do anything for you.


The Crystal King furrowed his brow and straightened up, facing the inventor. He leaned dangerously towards his face and smiled menacingly.


- Listen, you fool. As long as you are my prisoner, you will do what, I order you to do. And if you refuse me, or disobey my order... you will die a painful, horrible death. You understand.


Borg swallowed and hesitantly nodded his head, cowering under the demon's gaze. The king smiled.


- Perfect. Peacebreaker will supervise and watch over you. Harumi will bring you the plans for my machine. Parts are already brought in the warehouse, contact the soldiers, if you need any parts.


Peacebreaker, who was behind the king looked at him with furrowed brows and growled under her breath. The demon turned around and started walking toward the exit, when he stopped.


- Ah and before I forget. If you try to escape or plot against me, I will kill you without blinking an eye. Enjoy your work. - he chuckled, as he walked away and left the room.


Harumi walked over to Peacebreaker and started whispering to her.


- Don't mess it up. The king has given you a chance and don't waste it. I will send two guards here, and they will keep an eye on you. Remember, don't let the king down.


- You can rest assured, Rumi. I won't be up to anything.


- Great. Mechanic will bring him the plans right away. Watch him like an eye in his head.


- Yeah, yeah.


- Enjoy your work!- she called out with a sarcastic smile, leaving the room.


Peacebreaker led her away with her eyes and sighed. She looked dully at Borg, who was also looking at her. Corruption approached him and began cutting the ropes that imprisoned the inventor.


- Thank you. - he said rubbing his wrists.


Corruption nodded and went to the big steel table and sat down on it. The Borg looked at her with expectation. Peacebreaker raised an eyebrow and looked at him with furrowed brows.


- What do you want?


- Because you know... I... sort of... - he stammered.


Peacebreaker looked at him from top to bottom before realization hit her. - Oh, yeah. You're disabled. 


She disappeared in a blue streak for a second, before returning with a wheelchair. She wheeled the wheelchair over and with an aura lifted the inventor and sat him on it.


She jumped into space again and sat on the table, watching Borg closely. There was an awkward silence, and the duo just looked at each other. Mechanic rushed into the room. He threw the plans on the craft table and left, smiling sinisterly at Borg. The inventor grabbed the blue paper and looked at it.


- Oh... it's a big mech. It's going to take a lot of time.


- The Crystal King gets, the best of it. No matter how long it takes, you have to make it. Otherwise you will die. - Peacebreaker said nonchalantly.


- Right... - he said with an awkward smile. - Nevertheless, I will need, some hands on work. I won't finish it myself, unless it's ten years from now.


Peacebreaker groaned at him and unhooked a walkie-talkie from her belt. She pressed a button and turned to someone.


- Send ten workers to the warehouse, immediately.


After about three minutes, ten orange Serpentine entered the warehouse. They stood in line and saluted Peacebreaker, who nodded appreciatively.


- This here... Borg needs you to help build the Crystal King. You are to follow his orders, regarding this project only, nothing else. Get to work. - she ordered and leaned her back against the wall.


- Yes, Peacebreaker. - they replied in chorus and began walking down the corridor into the depths of the warehouse.


One of the smallest snakes stood behind the Borg cart and grabbed the handles, pushing it toward the warehouse.


Peacebreaker sighed and put her hands behind her head, closing her eyes.


The ghost of (Y/N) appeared and sat next to her in a cross-legged orchard and put her elbows on her knees.


Peacebreaker opened her eyes and looked to the side. She jumped up in fear, not expecting the ghost, before she growled and rolled her eyes.


- You again.


- Yes, me again. You captured Borg, I see.


- Yes. Someone has to build this weapon eventually, right?


- Unfortunately... You fought them pretty well.


Peacebreaker looked at the ghost with surprise. Praise for beating her friends?


- Thank you. - she replied with hesitation.


- You're welcome. - (Y/N) said with a smile.


Corruption rolled her eyes. They sat in silence, until (Y/N) sighed.


- You know...can I ask you a question?


- Go ahead.


- I'm afraid. - she replied, looking down. Peacebreaker raised an eyebrow at her.


- Of what?


- You know ... since I am "dead" in our head. It's terribly dark there....


- Now you know, how I felt. - she growled at her, sending her an annoyed look.


- Well, yes. But you know... in that darkness, there is such a light and something tells me to go to it.


Corruption just looked at her, before her eyes shine in realization.


- That thing? Don't worry about it, you can go wherever you want.


- Are you sure? - she asked uncertainly. Peacebreaker nodded her head. 


- Yeah, with certainty. Trust me little one, I'm an expert of the darkness.


- And what does it mean... this light?


- This light... is like such a light in the tunnel. This is your ticket to heaven. That's what you call it, right?


(Y/N) nodded her head. Peacebreaker smiled. - Well, you see, you can take the chance and be free and experience peace, or you can stay here, in the dark.


- If I went to this...could I go back?


- No. Once you go in there, you don't have a chance to go back. You give me full control and I accept your life in this world, while you... get a new one up there.


- Oh, right. You know... I would take this chance, but I can't leave. I can't leave the team and the family alone. I... have a role in this world and I have to do it, as long, as I live.


- Do what you want to do. It's your choice, I personally would like you to disappear from here once and for all.


- Well, I guess not.
