Chapter 6: Council of the Crystal King

(Y/N) that night could not sleep. She was constantly plagued by thoughts of the mysterious person and the invitation to the Council of the Crystal King. Saber was sound asleep on the bed next to her legs and murmured quietly.

The girl lay on her back and stared at the ceiling. She began to doubt. She began.... Feeling strange, as if something was prompting her to join, and at the same time, something was pushing her away from it.

It was a rather... interesting feeling. Being on the border between good and evil. 

Eyes (Y/N) slowly closed and she drifted off into dreamland. Little did she know that a certain King wanted to talk to her. The girl opened her eyes and noticed that she was in some starry space.

(Y/N) stood up and looked around her. She heard a voice behind her, not calm, but stern.

- Hello, (Y/N).-said the voice.

The yellow ninja turned around and saw Darkness sitting in front of her with his wings spread.

- Darkness.

- Don't do it.- he said.

- Don't do what?- she asked confused.

- I know the ending. It's hurting you.- he said.

- Do what?- she asked again.

- YOU DON'T CARE THAT IT KILLING YOU!!?- demanded the lion, in a loud, royal voice.

With a wave of the voice, (Y/N) fell and had the sensation of falling. (Y/N) abruptly woke up panting hard and fast. Sweat was running down her forehead and her body was shaking.

A spider, the same spider, crawled into the room through the window. It slowly climbed onto the bed and displayed a hologram. It was the same person.

- The yellow ninja. Do you accept the Crystal King's invitation and join to his council?- he asked.

- I...I guess so. I would like to try.- she recounted with hesitation.

- Very well. Follow the spider and he will lead you to a specific place.- the person said and disappeared.

(Y/N) looked at Saber, who was still sleeping and carefully got out of bed. She took and put her Blade of Sun in it's scabbard and moved after the spider.

= In Ninjago City=

The spider led the yellow ninja all the way to Ninjago City itself. It was suspiciously quiet. (Y/N) looked at the spider, who with his forelegs opened a manhole and jumped inside. The girl moved behind it and they started walking along the tracks.

The worm led her to a special modern vehicle. And behind it, a white tunnel. (Y/N) looked at the spider that entered the vehicle.

- Okey.... I trust you, spider not to lead me to your web.- she said, parrying and entering the vehicle.

As soon as she got in, the door closed and the vehicle moved at an incredible speed. (Y/N) instead of being scared, she cheered.

- WOOOOOOHOO!!! And I like that! Oh, can you go a little faster?

As if on cue, the vehicle sped up until the air resistance was pushing, the ninja into the seat. Until the spider himself was barely holding onto his seat.

After a moment the vehicle came to a stop, and the ninja and the spider got out without any problem. They walked through several rows of stone, vengestone figures. The spider led (Y/N) to a room, where there was a table and everyone gathered around it gasped.

- A yellow ninja!?- asked Vangelis.

- What are you doing here!- hissed Aspheera.

- (Y/N)?- wheezed Pythor.

(Y/N) sighed heavily.

- 'Nice to see you too, Pythor. I'm probably here for the same reason as you.- she said, sitting down next to Aspheera.

Everyone gathered looked at her distrustfully. (Y/N) noticed their stares and groaned.

- If I was here to fight, I would have done so long ago. You can ask the leader himself.

- Did you get an invitation?- asked Pythor.

- Yes. A promise of revenge, huh? I'm looking forward to it directly.- she said sarcastically.

- She got an invitation to join the revenge on the ninja?- asked Aspheera, the others.

- And who said that I want to take revenge on the ninja? - asked (Y/N).

- That's right, snake. The leader said that we can take revenge on those who have wronged us. It may not necessarily be the ninja.- Vangelis agreed.

Aspheera hissed at him and the pair looked at each other angrily. Pythor rolled his eyes at them. After a moment, the last council member, the Mechanic, arrived in the room.

The Mechanic looked around at everyone and when he looked at (Y/N) he gasped in shock. (Y/N) looked at the Mechanic and also gasped. It was Lloyd.

- The yellow ninja?

- Yep. It may seem strange, but she's also in it. She got an invitation.- Pythor explained.

''The Mechanic'' came over and sat down next to (Y/N) staring at her while the rest of the people gathered started talking. Lloyd leaned over to (Y/N).

- What are you doing here!"-he whispered.

- What am I doing here? What are you doing here?- she replied.

- You're betraying us!?- whispered Lloyd.

- I'm not betraying anyone! I just want to... see how it develops. Don't spoil it, Lloyd. And... how come you're free. And why didn't they notice it was you?

- It's a long story. And I don't know, maybe they're stupid. I'm a ninja, I know the camouflage technique.

(Y/N) rolled her eyes at him and focused on the others. Vangelis looked up from his argument with Aspheera to Lloyd.

- And you are?- he asked.

- Em.... I am the Mechanic, of course. As you can see! - Lloyd said, pretending to be Mechanic's voice.

(Y/N) slapped her forehead with her palm and rubbed her head.

- I haven't heard of you.- Vangelis stated the obvious.

- How would you know that? YOU ARE NOT FROM HERE!- exclaimed (Y/N).

- Relax, yellow ninja, but you're right. I ruled Ninjago until those ninjas stopped me. - Lloyd said.

- These ninjas are always ruining our plans, now it's time for revenge. Revenge, REVENGE!!- shout Aspheera.

- Revenge, revenge.- said Pythor with a smile.

- What?

- What, what?

- What did you say?

- I don't know. What did I say?- sneered Pythor.

- Awww, how sweet. Snakes in love.- laughed (Y/N).

The snakes looked at her angrily and grunted, crossing their arms and looking away.

- I bet those two will end up together.- whispered (Y/N) to Lloyd.

Lloyd snorted and shook his head.

- 'So, who's sitting there?- he asked and pointed to an empty seat.

- Our host. I guess.- replied Vangelis.

- The Crystal King.- said Pythor.

- No.- said the voice.

Everyone looked in his direction and saw this mysterious person. 

- I'm the one sitting there. - he said.

- You are not the Crystal King.- Aspheera was surprised.

- I am his right hand. I am the one who follows his instructions.

- Like a servant.- Vangelis spat.

- You should watch your tone, Vangelis. You should thank me for that pair of shiny wings. Or I can send you back to where I found you.- he threatened.

- Wow.... We're bullying a co-worker? Cheap shot. Not that I'm judging or anything. To be used against strangers who think you're just a worthless servant. In my opinion.... You inspire respect in me. - said (Y/N).

- Thank you, yellow ninja.- told the host.

- And what does this, Crystal King want from us?- asked Aspheera.

- You will find out about his plan in his own time, but it is not the time.- said the host.

- It promises to be interesting.- muttered (Y/N).

- Unfortunately, it seems that we have an impostor among us.- he informed.

Everyone gasped in shock and jerked up from their seats.

- What!!!? Where!!!- demanded Pythor.

Aspheera and Vangelis looked at (Y/N), who shrugged her shoulders.

- Not her, idiots. Someone else.- said the host.

Aspheera looked at Lloyd, who looked around with fear.

- Who?-he said in feigned shock.

Aspheera turned to Vangelis.

- So it's you! You're the one wearing the mysterious mask!- she pointed at him.

- How dare you! You're blind! Then who is he!-he pointed at Mr. F.

Mr. F just looked daggers at everyone.

- Silence! All of you! Take a look and see for yourself.- the host said.

Spider walked up to the table and showed the video as Cole, Zane, Kai and Jay fought the real Mechanic. (Y/N) and Lloyd looked at each other in horror, and when the video ended. Everyone looked at Lloyd.

- You guys are forgetting one thing!

- Oh, really? What this?- asked Aspheera mockingly.

- THIS!- he said and pointed to the left.

Everyone looked where he pointed, giving the ninja a chance to escape.

- After him, fools!!- shouted Pythor.

Everyone except the host and (Y/N) rushed at Lloyd, who tried valiantly to defend himself from the attack. Suddenly Pythor disappeared and grabbed Lloyd. Lloyd broke free and used spinjitzu, beating everyone, but Mr. F shot the green ninja, knocking him down onto a column. 

Everyone walked over to the losing ninja and looked at him with evil smiles while (Y/N) looked at him with worry. The green ninja lost consciousness and the host spoke up.

- Pythor, Vangelis. Help take him to a special cell.- The host ordered.

They both obediently followed the order and went to the designated place. The host looked at (Y/N).

- You were wise to choose our side (Y/N). The Crystal King will reward you lavishly for that.- he said and ordered them to follow.

(Y/N) reluctantly moves behind him and walks beside him.

- "God, what have I gotten myself into?"-she thought.
