Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Nya uncovers a skeleton. "Some villagers unearthed the remains of this Fangpyre a few miles away. It predates the Golden Age and must be hundreds of years old. Although the venom in the fangs of the Fangpyre genetically mutates human cells into a reptilian, I've learned there could be a way to stop the effects without having to create antivenom. If one is able to wildly raise their heart rate, hypothetically it could reverse the venom's effects. Resulting in..."Her cheeks turn pink. "Diminished, uh, excuse me, is someone wearing perfume? I'm severely allergic to perfume." Everyone looks at me.
"What's perfume?" I ask, spinning around in my seat.
"You and I are gonna have a talk," Nya says.
"Heh," Jay says. "You told me it was men's cologne." He whispers to Kai.
"Meh, I get them mixed up." Kai says.
"Ah, it looks like the class is over. Time to start stomping some Serpentine before they find any Fangblades." Cole says as he scoops up his papers and Zane turns off his funny switch.
"Sounds like a plan." Kai walks out of the door.
"I'm excited to join," Zane says.
"Wait for me!" I yell, rushing out to join them.
~Time Skip~
Jay struts in with a smug look on his face, all dressed up.
"Whoa, where are you going, Mr. Fancy?" Cole teases.
"Didn't you hear? I'm taking Nya to a nice restaurant. A really nice restaurant." Jay boasts.
"You might wanna change your plans. The bridge just picked up evidence of Serpentine activity over at Mega Monster Amusement Park." I say, typing on the computer. The screen shows an image of Pythor, Skales, and a family. Pythor seems to be posing for a family photo as Skales is taking the photo.
"Hey, that's Pythor." Jay points out.
"Pythor would not be there for fun. We believe a Fangblade may be buried underneath the park." Zane informs.
"We can't let them get it! Oh, but my date..." Jay moans.
"Jay, if they get all four of them, Pythor can unleash the Great Devourer. Get your priorities straight, man." Kai reminds Jay.
3rd Person POV
"Hello, brother. What took you so long? You brought the katana from our youth. Funny, you never had the courage to cross the temple wall, yet now you have the courage to come here." Garmadon said, his back towards the younger son of the First Spinjitzu Master.
"Why have you come to this place of darkness?" Wu asks his elder brother.
"A place as wicked as me? Don't you see it? Here I feel at home. In Ninjago, I was physically unable to hold all four Spinjitzu Weapons. But here, dark magic has made me stronger and what was once impossible is now possible." Garmadon turns around and Wu gasps. The man who was Lloyd's father, his brother, his best friend, his comrade. He had 4 arms.
"You came here only to possess the Weapons of Spinjitzu?" Wu asked, horrified.
"Yes, brother, and I refuse to allow you or your petty Ninja to stop me!" Garmadon summoned 4 weapons in his hands.
"Brother, I've not come here to—" Wu dodges an attack from Garmadon, and the two brothers fight, and Wu tumbles down into a mud field.
"You will pay for your visit. Mud Monsters, converge!" Mud things start squeezing Wu as Garmadon drops down, now face to face with Wu "You don't belong here, old fool. You should've known better than to try to stop me."
"I didn't come to stop you. I came to warn you. To tell you—" Wu sinks in the grasp of the mud monsters. "Your son's in danger! Aah!" He comes back in the grasp, only having escaped finishing his sentence.
"Lloyd?" Garmandon gasps and rushes to his brother's aid, he pulls him out of the grasp of the mud monsters. "What has Lloyd gotten himself into?"
"He has opened a can of worms I fear I will never be able to close." Wu gasps for air.
"You mean we will never be able to close. Get up. You can tell me more later. First, we need to return home. How did you find me?" Garmadon asked.
"Traveler's Tea. But I used it all and now have no way back."
"There is only one way to return to Ninjago. But to get there, we must pass through the Mountain of Madness and it is a long and dangerous road ahead."
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
"We should leave. Before it really gets dark." The 2 brothers walk off.
"So, what kind of trouble has Lloyd gotten himself into?" Garmadon asks, after an awkward silence.
"Well, I'm afraid to say, the worst kind. He's reopened the Serpentine tombs, and now that they have united, Pythor is trying to find the Four Silver Fangblades to unleash the Great Devourer. He has reunited with Kaylee though, and I am glad that they still had that connection that they had when they were little."
"The very snake that turned me evil?" Garmadon asked.
"Yes."
"Why would Lloyd open the tombs?" He asked
"To be like you." The younger brother replied.
"I never wanted him to. Thank you for watching out for him. Although that title might go to Kaylee, even though she was the younger one, she was the dominant one in their friendship." Garmadon chuckled, reminiscing the times when he would catch Kaylee "teaching" Lloyd, babbling in their little language while Lloyd looked on eagerly.
"You may think of me as your enemy, but I was first your brother." Wu smiled, thinking back to the old times when he and his older brother were living together in harmony.
Kaylee's POV
We rushed to the scene of crime, immediately after Nya and Jay left to Mega Monster Amusement Park. We came to a stop at the haunted ride.
"Where is everybody?" Kai asked, looking around.
"Wait a minute, that ride was never scary. If anything, it literally has a one out five on Yelp." I point out to the screaming people running out of the ride. The guys don't bother with the fact I have Yelp. That's good.
"Venomari." Zane deducted.
"Should we get Jay?" Kai says.
"Let's not bother the two lovebirds. I think we can handle this." Cole interjects.
"Excuse us, coming through." I say, lightly pushing past the throngs of people rushing out of the ride.
"Nothing to look at, folks." Cole says
"This is official Ninja business." Zane replies.
"Official Ninja business? Really?" I say, looking at Zane.
"It was the first thing that popped up in my mind." Zane says.
"Ah. The first fangblade is ours!" Pythor cheers, holding up the Fangblade.
"Not so fast!" Kai yells.
"Really? That's the best you got?" Cole asks.
"I couldn't think of anything on the fly." Kai retorts
"How about Time to burn or Jump on this fire ride?" Cole suggests.
"Well, next time, you lead." Kai snaps.
"Next time I will." Cole sasses.
"Oh, yeah? If you can catch up." Kai starts running towards the snakes. I roll my eyes at the childish behavior displayed by the 2 teenagers before charging into battle.
"Oh, come on. You gotta follow my lead." Cole boasts.
"Ninjas? Ninjas aren't scary." A random man says.
"Watch and learn, brothers." Zane summons his True Potential powers. Everything gets enveloped in a bright blue light, once everything is clear though, it wasn't the snakes encased in ice, it was us. "Oops."
"Really Zane?" I moan.
"Sorry." Zane apologizes.
"Can someone get us out of here?" Cole asks.
"Sure thing guys." Kai says, heating up his golden weapon, melting the ice.
"Ugh, that was cold." I rub my arms vigorously.
"Come on, we can't let Pythor get away with the Fangblade!" Kai says, and we all rush out. When we get out though, we saw no snakes but Jay and Nya on the roller coaster. Nya was tied up and Jay was trying to get her out before they went through the literal ring of fire.
"OHMIGOD THEY'RE GONNA DIE!!!" I screech, running around in a panic.
"The Samurai should be coming by now!" Cole yells.
"Um, spoiler alert! THE SAMURAI IS NOT COMING!!!" I yell and Nya chose that moment to yell.
"I'm the Samurai!" She yells.
"WHAT?!?" Cole, Zane, and ever so faintly, Jay yells.
"They're gonna die!" Kai yells, but somehow, magically, Jay gets engulfed in a bright dark blue light as he fling himself at the front of the cart, stopping the cart just before it hit the broken tracks.
"He found his True Potential!" Cole says, as he unties Nya and they both walk down towards us. We meet at the outside of the park.
"You really had me fooled. I never guessed you were the Samurai." Zane compliments.
"I wished I had a sister like you." I say. "Not that you already are my sister, but blood-related."
"Technically, I was the first to discover her secret, and didn't we agree whoever we thought was the best would naturally be the Green Ninja? Huh? The Green Ninja! The destined Ninja to defeat Lord Garmadon, huh?" Kai strikes a pose.
"Why would we say that?" Jay asks.
"Yeah, I'm drawing a blank." Cole says.
"Nope. That conversation is not in my database." Zane checks.
"Technically, I was the first to find out, and also, since when did we have that conversation?" I retort and Kai sighs.
"You know what I learned today?" Jay says.
"What's that?" Nya asks.
"No matter what kind of secret you have, whether you're a snake or a samurai, it's important to be yourself." Jay finishes.
"Yeah, that's cute, but you wanna know what I learned? The Serpentine now have the first Fangblade." Cole says, putting his fist on his hand.
"But we are getting stronger." I yell, pumping my hands in the air.
"One day, we will all reach our True Potential and Pythor will be stopped." Zane smiles.
"And we figured out all this without Sensei. Pretty good for five Ninja." Jay gets punched in the arm by Nya. "And a Samurai."
"I wonder what Sensei is doing now." Kai muses.
Hello! Sorry this took so long! I was procrastinating a bit 😂. But now I think I can update a bit quicker so that's good! See if you can find the Marvel Reference here and last chapters Marvel Reference is: "Does anyone have any orange slices?" (Ant-Man)
