Ninjago Equestria girls: Way of the Ninja
Episode two: When do I start?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"But, you must be eliminated. Goodbye Sunset Shimmer."
Sunset covers her face as Shadowfright is about to give her a deadly blow, a golden beam of light hit hits him sending the general away from Sunset.
Sunset looks up and see's the woman from earlier standing infront of her. Her white dress adoring with gold jewelry, long wavy tri-colored hair that flowed in the wind. Her walking stick was replaced with a scepter that has a Sun emblem. The goddess looks down at Sunset giving the girl a motherly smile.
"Are you alright my child?" Sunset slowly nods, the woman turns back to Shadowfright.
"Celestia, your magic looks rusty." Shadowfright hissed.
The woman named Celestia simply chuckles at Shadowfright.
"It's been awhile. And besides, there's nothing like bone to sharpen its edge, Shadowfright."
Shadowfright looks back at Sunset and at the water tower above her, he tossed four blades and destroys one of the support legs to crush Sunset with the tank.
"Look out!" Sunburst yells, Sunset looks up and tries to crawl away. "Oh no..."
A golden tornado approaches Sunset and moves her out the way. Celestia gently sets Sunset down as Shadowfright retreats back to his vehicle. "Nightmare moon says take the boy!"
Celestia eyes widen. "Nightmare moon..."
Jerome laughs as he launches the truck's bone hand to grab Sunburst. "No!" Sunset yells, she gets up and runs after them.
"Sunset wait!" Celestia yells after her.
"Hey! Stop!" Sunset yells after them, her vision blurry and unfocused due to blood lose. Celestia dashed to the red haired girl catching her. "My.. brother..." Sunset's eye's slowly start to close as she's in Celestia's arms.
"Shhhhh.... It's okay." Celestia tells her. "We'll get him back, I promise." Celestia feels Sunset fall unconscious in her arms. The sky turned back to normal, Celestia stands up and carries Sunset back to the blacksmith shop.
A few hours later, Sunset wakes up in her bed fully healed. But her brother was nowhere in sight. The door knob to her bedroom turns, Sunset hoping that it was Sunburst but instead Celestia walked in with a tray of food. "Welcome back to the land of the living little sun." Celestia sets the tray down on Sunset's night stand.
"So... it wasn't a dream after all," Sunset says sadly. Her Sunburst, who she sworn to protect was snatched right under her nose. "I'm afraid so young one." Celestia sits next to Sunset.
"I'm going to get my brother back!" Sunset throws the blankets off her gets out of bed still filling the stinging pain from the wound on her side from Shadowfright.
"Where they go, a mortal cannot. That was Shadowfright, king of the Underworld. And if it's true that he's carrying orders for Nightmare moon, then I fear things are much worse than I ever thought." Celestia warns.
"I don't care, Sunburst's mother was the only family I ever had. My birth parents dropped me off here when I was just a baby she took care of me when my real parent's whoever they are." Sunset explains.
"Sunburst, is the only thing I have left... So what the hell do two kids have that's so important to them?! And why would they take my brother?!" Sunset's turquoise eyes narrowed at Celestia.
Celestia sighs, the look Sunset was giving her is the same one that her younger sister Luna used to give her when they were younger. She couldn't help but smile a bit seeing Sunset as a younger version of Luna.
"I'll tell you everything, Long before time had a name, Equestria was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, by using the Six Weapons of Harmony: The Scythe of Quakes, the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Shurikens of Ice, and the Sword of Fire, the scepter of life, and the Hammer of illusions. Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once. When she passed away, her two daughters swore to protect them, but the youngest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between sisters broke out, and the youngest was struck down and banished to the Moon. Peace returned, and the older sister hid the weapons, but knowing her younger sisters relentless ambition for power, she placed a guardian to protect them. And for fear of her own demise, gave a map for an honest woman to hide." Celestia explains the story to Sunset.
"You're the older sister? Then you came here looking for the map?" Sunset asks.
"No. I came for something greater—you." Celestia lightly taps Sunset's shoulder with her secptar. "Since my sister cannot enter this realm, it's obvious she has struck a deal with Shadowfright and somehow managed to travel to the Underworld sometime after I banished her to the moon. If she were to collect all six weapons, even I would not be able to stop her again. But you! You have the fire inside. I will train you to harness it. Use it. Become a Spinjitzu Master. You Sunset Shimmer, must defeat Nightmare moon." Celestia tells Sunset.
"I'm flattered but, I have no interest in being a ninja. I just want to get my brother back." Sunset says. "Unless there's some ancient prophecy that says that I specifically have to defeat some great evil or whatever then..." Sunset stops talking and see's Celestia's eyes looking at the floor.
"You've got to kidding me."
================================
The next day, Sunset makes her journey up the mountain of impossible height. As she struggles climbing over rocks Celestia gracefully walks over. Sunset doubles over exhausted from the mountain climbing during the past few hours.
"How long is training gonna be? Aren't we in a bit of a rush since they have the map?" Sunset asks Celestia.
Celestia simply smiles. "Patience little Sun," She opens the doors of the monastery. "You will be ready when you are ready. Not a minute sooner."
She motions for Sunset to walk through the doors.
"A monastery? You expect me to learn to fight in a place of peace?" Sunset asks surprised.
"Not fight. Train. In order to become a true ninja, first you must be able to see what others do not." Celestia explains to her new student.
"But there's nothing here, what am I even supposed to do? Meditate?"
Celestia pushes a sun statue, which reveals a secret button. She pushes it, activating all the training equipment in the monastery. Sunset looks around in awe.
"Whoa! Is this gonna teach me how to do that cool move?" Sunset asks amazed. She goes on top of one of the training poles and does the pose from one of those old karate kid movies as it descends.
Celestia pauses for a moment.
"Oh, dear."
Sunset gets launched into the sun symbol and falls back on the ground.
"Complete the training course before I finish my tea. Then we will see if you are ready." Celestia drinks the entire cup. "Today you failed. Tomorrow you will try again."
"Wait what?" Sunset asks, her brain trying desperately to process everything that transpired.
"Come with me, I'll show you to your room little Sun." Celestia says, she opens the doors and walks inside.
Sunset quickly gets up to her feet and follows her inside. After walking through the corridors, Celestia finally stops infront of one of the doors.
"This shall be your room now that you'll be staying here." Said Celestia and opens the sliding door.
She gives Sunset a gentle push assuring Sunset that she could go inside.
The room was fairly large, bigger than her bedroom back at home. The main theme of the room was red and turquoise, it was almost as if Celestia had already had this room made specifically for her. On the rug in the middle of the room and on the comforter of the bed is a golden sun symbol that has a yin-yang design.
"W-when did you do this?" Sunset asks.
Celestia just smiles and pats Sunset's head.
"All will be revealed when you are ready little Sun." Celestia says and goes to walk out the room. Before leaving she gives Sunset one last glance.
"I hope to see great things from you Sunset. Your training will continue tomorrow morning." And with that, Celestia leaves closing the sliding door behind her leaving Sunset to her thoughts.
'Why do I have a feeling that I know her from somewhere... And why is she being so cryptic!?!?'
