Spike The Spinjitzu Master
14: Darkness Shall Rise
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA few hours have passed since the Great Devourer was destroyed by Garmadon, and Ninjago was saved thankfully. While it's good to be able to rest after all the trouble with the snakes being dealt with, Garmadon now has the ninja's Golden Weapons, while Spike still has his, it's a bad sign for Garmadon to have such power, and going forward, they need to find a way to train Lloyd so he's skilled enough to face his father.
Spike and the others were trying to repair what damage was done to the city, a lot of damage was taken to the place, and they're having a tough time trying to handle all of it. Spike had Allison in a small holder on his chest while he and Zane were working on another lamp post, they've been at this for hours at this point, and it's been a bit tiring to say the least.
"And.. that should do it.." Spike said proudly as they put the next street light up clearly now.
"That should do it, all fixed up, and Serpentine free." Cole said with relief while they all took a moment to rest, Kai tried to use his Fire powers again, but without his Golden Weapon, he can barely make a spark to weld the thing together.
"Agh, this is frustrating! Our weapons are gone, most of our elemental powers are gone, I mean we can still do Spinjitzu.. but.." Kai said with frustration while Spike used his fire to weld the street lamp in place.
"I just feel so.. I don't know how to say it.. limited?" Kai asked while Allison was trying to sleep once again for a girl her age.
"I know it's rough now Kai, while the Ultra Dragon's hurt, and we may not have much left right now, let's at least be glad we still beat that monster, I still can't believe Garmadon was able to destroy that thing.." Spike assured while he finished the last of the prepares.
"Spike is right, no one said being a hero is easy, while we do have good deeds, they may never make us rich, they make us rich in other ways." Zane assured too which Kai didn't believe one bit.
"Yeah, well I don't feel rich, at least Spike still has his Golden Weapon and Allison, it at least means we'll have to train him and Lloyd when we find a proper place." Kai said looking at Spike who was drinking some water to catch his breath.
"Uhh.. I for one enjoy pitching in, I've always wanted to feel like part of the community, so speaking of which, where's Nya? She said she was gonna help" Jay asked while he finished throwing away some trash.
They got they're answer once they heard a bell sound from the distance, and they saw Nya and Wu were coming up to them with some important info for them all.
"And I have, I may have found a place for all of us to live." Nya announced while she came up to all of them.
"Really? But there's a waiting list a mile long in Ninjago City, how did you do that?" Jay asked surprised with how fast she got this handled.
"I know a few people who know a real-estate agent, and they said she can find a place for you all to live, if you catch my drift." Nya answered while she handed them her business card.
"At least we'll have a place to stay, still gotta take care of Allison and all, so where you gonna be heading to Nya?" Spike asked while he kept rocking Allison to sleep.
"We have to find a couple components to fix the Ninja Tank Spike, and my Dragon Ointment has finally arrived, it's a day's trip, but once we get back, he'll be flying once again. Also, I love scenic drives. Haha! Punch it Nya!" Wu encouraged which she gladly complied with.
"Aye Aye sensei!" " Nya replied before they both went driving off with Wu cheering with joy as they were left alone once again.
"Hmm.. Patty Keys, Real-estate agent Queen, heh, this is exactly what we need! Once we get a roof over our head, we can start properly training Lloyd!" Jay said with a smile to know this.
"Good, because if we know Garmadon, he's not gonna be taking any breaks. And let's not forget, there's still the Serpentine to worry about.." Cole said with a stern look which was an important thing to remember.
We cut back to the place where the Bounty was destroyed by the Devourer, and once it was destroyed, Scales and the rest of the Serpentine made they're way to discuss on who would lead them now since Pythor is gone, and Scales was bent on making himself the next leader.
"Serpentine! We've been exiled for the last time! But fear not, I will lead you!" Scales announced to all the tribes who didn't believe what he had to say.
"Lead us to where? The City of Ouroboros has been destroyed! We have no home." A serpentine asked which raised more questions for the others.
"You want to lead us so badly, how can we trust you? " Another one asked which was making Scales more upset with being questioned like this.
"Because I was the one who told you all, not to awaken the Devourer! But no, you listened to Pythor!" Scales pointed out just as a familiar figure was coming up to all of them after escaping Ninjago City.
"You want a home, I'll give all of you a home!" Garmadon announced which surprised everyone with him coming here for all of them.
"Lord Garmadon!" Scales said with shock as he held all of the Golden Weapons.
"Forgive me, I haven't been myself lately. But now that I have the Golden Weapons, it's time I go back to my roots. If I am going to rule Ninjago, I know I can't do it by myself, the Skeletons have served they're purpose. But I've always been more partial to snakes.. If you want someone to follow, follow me!" Garmadon announced which made all of the snakes cheer in agreement for his offer.
"You are to follow me! Not him!" Scales argued back while the snakes started to follow Garmadon, and they clearly have made they're choice by now.
Garmadon turned to the ruins of the Ninja's Bounty, and had an idea on what to do with it.
"You want a home.. I'll give you a home!" Garmadon announced as he used the weapons power to have a ton of sand surround the ruins of the ship, and while it was in the air, it was being rebuilt and weaponized from the ground up which amazed all of the snakes, it soon reformed itself, and it was now completely rebuilt, but in a more darker fashion for Garmadon's liking.
"I give you.. the Black Bounty!" Garmadon announced which made the snakes cheer even more for him.
"Imbeciles! Do you not remember he was just helping the ninja and that dragon? Who also is raising an Anacondrai of his own? Now you blindly follow him because of his wizardry?! He's not even a Serpentine! Rule with me, and we shall rule as brothers!" Scales argued again which made Garmadon annoyed with his backtalk.
"Rule with me.. or else..." Garmadon threatened while he aimed Kai's old sword at one of them.
"All hail Lord Garmadon!" The snake announced which all of them cheered at some more and they began chanting his name together as they all went into the ship which made Scales frustrated with them being left behind.
As Garmadon was taking the ship to somewhere else, one of his snakes was wanting to ask him something important.
"Lord Garmadon, excuse my ignorance, but why is it we fly in the opposite direction of the ninja? When you have the Golden Weapons?" A snake asked which made Garmadon think of how to respond for now.
"Because they have my son, it is written that he will one day defeat me, and from the looks of it, that dragon friend of his will be at his side too. So what good is turning Ninjago into my own image be, when my victory would be fleeting?" Garmadon asked back which gave one of them an idea.
"Then we destroy Lloyd!" A snake suggested which made Garmadon very upset at the suggestion.
"Lock him in the brig!" Garmadon ordered which made one of the snakes take him away as punishment while he begged for forgiveness.
"No one will touch my son, if we get rid of Wu and those pesky ninja, then Lloyd and that dragon friend of his will never reach they're true potential, and the prophecy will never be fulfilled, and Ninjago will be mine.. forever!" Garmadon said with a malicious tone which made the snakes curious a bit more.
"But why are we flying away?" Another snake asked again.
"Because, we are flying to the Golden Peaks, birthplace of the Golden Weapons. Even they have secrets that are waiting to be unlocked, if there can be a 5th Golden Weapon be forged for that dragon, then there is more for me to uncover too, and once this happens, nothing will stand in our way.." Garmadon said evilly as the Bounty was flying even faster to reach it's destination.
We cut back to Spike and the others after they had met up with the woman named Patty, she was showing them a current place they can stay at after what they were offered before.
"This one bedroom, and one half bath is a cozy dream! Who needs extras when everything's in arms reach? And wait till you see the lighting!" Patty said eagerly as she flicked one of the switches, but one the lightbulbs went out and fell off the ceiling and shattered on the ground.
"Uh.. but who needs lights when you have this view?" Patty said again as she opened up some curtains which fell down, and the view was mainly of a wall near an alleyway.
"Eh.. who's to say we need all the fancy stuff right? I stayed in a literal tree Library with Twilight back home, this may not be too different." Spike said with a nervous smile while he carried his daughter still.
"Thank you young dragon, but this is all you can afford with the budget you have." Patty thanked while everyone looked around the pretty old looking place.
"Uh.. it looks.. promising, but remember guys, sensei told us that our main objective is to train Lloyd, not kicking our feet back in some fancy suite. If this is all we can afford, it's all we can afford." Cole pointed out which Jay was not wanting to agree with.
"Whoa hold on a second. If this is about training Lloyd, shouldn't we have a place that makes training easier for him?" Jay pointed out which they had to think over from hearing it.
"Yeah, Jay's right, if we have to get him and Spike ready to save Ninjago from Garmadon, they should at least have they're own rooms right?" Kai asked which Lloyd was grateful to hear about.
""Technically, it doesn't matter, what only matters is..." Zane was trying to argue back at this, but Kai elbowed his chest to make him stop.
"We're just thinking about the children." Jay said while chuckling nervously.
"I do have another property that I think you'll just love!" Patty said in an eager tone as she lead them to a much fancier home to live in.
Spike and the others were lead to the top of the building where things were much better as a place to live, Patty opened up a door for them and they saw a large open room that was really nicely detailed, there was so much fancy stuff here, it looked like it was for only the richest of people.
"Wow, this is awesome!" Spike said with awe as Allison hissed with joy seeing all of this too.
"This is the eight bedroom Hero Suite, floor to ceiling windows, digital wall television, state of the art game console." Patty listed out which made Jay nervous with how expensive it was.
"uh.. this seems a little bit out of our price range." Jay pointed out which worried everyone else with how they can pay for this.
"Sure it costs a bit more, but you all deserve it! I forgot to mention, there's also a dragons keep on the roof!" Patty listed again as they saw Ultra Dragon near the top of the roof where a nice home for it was available.
"Nice!" Cole said with joy for they're pet dragon.
"Is there anyway we could get a discount when staying here? While Lord Garmadon stopped the Devourer, we wouldn't be here if we helped trapped the thing." Spike asked hoping there was something for them.
"There could be a 20% discount available, but it'll still cost a lot if your gonna take it." Patty answered which gave Kai an idea on what to do.
"We could get day jobs! To pay for our extra expenses!" Kai suggested which Zane liked the sound of.
"We always said we have to take more responsibility!" Zane said with a smile which gave them an idea on what they can work as.
"But we have to train Lloyd, and Spike still has to take care of Allison here." Kai pointed out while looking at the both of them.
"Did I mention the in-house, training facility?" Patty asked while she pressed on a button, and behind a nearby wall, was revealed to be a huge set of training equipment that was perfect for Lloyd to use.
"We'll take it!" Spike and the others announced at once.
After that agreement, the ninja had all taken up day jobs in order to make enough cash to pay rent, it was very expensive living in this new home of theirs, so they had to work really hard for it. Jay became a Pizza delivery man, Zane became a chef at a restaurant, Cole was a security guard at a bank, and Kai was a birthday mascot of sorts, taking playful beatings from overly excited kids. Spike meanwhile had to stay with Lloyd to keep up his training, and keep taking care of Allison. But, these jobs could be really tiring for the other ninja, they often had to work overtime just so they can make the rent, and at this point, they are all getting exhausted from this.
After a long day of working at each of they're jobs, they went back to the apartment to rest, everyone was very sore from what they were needing to do, and Spike was trying to help them all recover from how much they burned themselves out.
"Looks like those kids really don't know when to stop huh Kai?" Spike asked while he handed him an ice pack which Kai gladly took.
"There were so many of them.. and they wouldn't stop, when Allison grows up to be around Lloyd's age, make sure she doesn't get so hyper like they did please?" Kai asked which Allison hissed at.
"Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on her every day." Spike assured while he gave her some milk to keep her calm.
Zane was exhausted from his constant work, and often had to make repairs on himself to not fall apart.
"My gears locked up several times, i didn't even know my gears could lock up!" Zane added while he moved his arm around, and a gear sound could be heard from them.
"Ugh.. I don't even have enough energy to play video games.." Jay said weakly as he was on the floor and taking heavy breaths.
"But I thought you were gonna help train me when you got back? Sure Spike's been helping me too, but I thought you were gonna help with it too?" Lloyd asked while he walked out of the training room.
"Sorry champ, but we can't until we make the rent. How close are we Jay?" Cole asked hoping they were at least halfway.
"Ugh.. is this jar getting bigger? We're not even close!" Jay announced which worried all of them from hearing it.
"And our rent is due tomorrow.." Zane added while he was trying to fix up his arm.
"I can call in a double shift?" Cole suggested which could get some extra cash.
"I could do overtime!" Zane suggested as well.
"Maybe I could sling a few more pizza pies.." Jay suggested while he was taking heavy breaths.
"And I could make a little extra by doing the human piƱata?" Kai offered which made them look at him with shock to know what kind of beating that is.
"Human... you know what? I'm not even gonna ask. I think it's time I help out with you guys with making rent, Cole, there an extra spot available at your workplace?" Spike asked turning to him who thought over it for a moment.
"I think there's a couple, while you are still a child, I'm sure they'll accept help from a talking dragon who knows Spinjitzu. What about Allison? What will we do about her?" Cole asked as Spike kept holding her in his arms.
"I hope they don't mind a " Bring your daughter to work day"" Spike said with a nervous chuckle which most of them laughed at while still feeling weak.
"Alright then, we'll make rent tomorrow!" Cole announced which they all agreed to doing. While Lloyd was worried for them all, they all had a lot of work to keep doing, so they needed to keep this up so they can keep staying here.
After that next talk, Spike took a day job with Cole working at the bank as security, they both had to do extra shifts in order to properly make the rent, they thankfully accepted Spike to work with them, and it was Bring your Daughter to work day conveniently, so they didn't have any worries leaving her alone.
Meanwhile for Jay, he was heading to his next job and was taking up the next pizza he had to deliver.
"Pizza delivery, 21st and union. Get it there on time or else it's on you" The boss ordered while he gave Jay the pizza's.
"How much time is left?" Jay asked with a worried look.
"5 minutes." He replied with a stern look.
"5 minutes?! I'll never get across town that fast!" Jay said with fear with how short of time he had.
"Then I guess it's coming out of your pocket, now get going!" He ordered which made Jay quickly take his bike and he quickly started driving across town to reach his destination.
Jay quickly made his way across town as fast as he could, he had to cut through some traffic and take some shortcuts just to reach this place under such a time limit, he helped out a woman who was being robbed by some thugs, and he quickly rushed back to his route, and he thankfully made it to where he was suppose to go after enough driving.
But something was off, there was no current building outside here, most of the stuff was run down and abandoned, Jay got off his bike and took the pizza's to look for who could've ordered it here.
"Isn't this 21st and union?" Jay asked looking to one of the citizens here.
"Sure is, but there hasn't been anything built here in ages." The person replied before he went back to do his own business again.
Jay walked around the area to try and find who ordered the pizzas, but he couldn't see anyone right now.
"Hello? Anyone here?" Jay announced looking around for a single person.
"So, after you rob the bank, we embark on phase 2! Ingenious!" Scales said from a nearby sewer tunnel which Jay was able to hear.
"But boss, when are we gonna get pizza? I'm hungry." Skalidor asked while Jay was concerned with what he was hearing.
"Rob the bank?" Jay asked himself right before Acidius appeared from behind and he quickly restrained him to not call for help.
"And where do you think your going? We haven't given you your tip!" Acidius hissed while Jay was really afraid of what's about to happen.
We cut to the other snake generals taking one of the subway cars to head through the city, and Jay was left tied up and he couldn't fight back to stop this.
"Oh come on Jay, you gotta warn the others! You can figure a way out of this!" Jay told himself while he tried balancing himself as he was tied up, and he started hopping his way up to where they were heading.
"Hopefully Cole and Spike can stop that bank robbery!" Jay prayed while he tried catching up with them through the tunnel ahead of him.
Meanwhile with Spike and Cole, they were currently doing they're jobs properly after taking the shifts, Spike was making sure Cole wasn't falling asleep on the job, and he made sure Allison wouldn't cause any concern. And as they were waiting by the wall, they saw they're boss come out for a brief moment.
"Everything alright you two?" He asked while Spike was keeping a lookout for anything.
"Nothing out of the ordinary, we're keeping things in check!" Cole assured while Spike gave a thumbs up in response.
"Thanks for taking the double shift and telling me about this friend of yours, first day on the job, just try to keep his daughter in check please? We've had a lot of trouble with snakes as it is." He asked while he went back inside the bank.
"Don't worry Cole, it's just a couple more hours, if we both keep this up, we'll reach rent in no time." Spike assured which Cole was glad to hear.
"Great, thanks for taking some extra time with me Spike, let's just keep this up alright?" Cole asked as they kept up with they're jobs.
"No problem." Spike replied as they kept on waiting for they're shift to pass by.
But as they were doing they're job normally, the Serpentine generals burst through the floor in the vault which quickly sent off the alarm.
"Oh come on!" Spike said annoyed while he and Cole quickly went to stop who's robbing the bank.
Spike and Cole quickly made it to the vault, but they were too late, all of the money was stolen, and the generals were gone.
"Let's take the subway!" Acidius announced from below which got they're attention.
"Subway?" Spike and Cole asked at once while they looked at eachother, but they're concern was broken up when they heard Allison crying yet again because of the loud alarms going off.
"Ugh.. we should've gone for the old apartment.." Spike said with annoyance while he tried soothing her again.
The other ninja had heard the reports of the bank robbery, but with the worry for what's happened at the bank, it caused each of them to have to do something to get fired from each of they're jobs, Cole and Spike just had to quit since there was a lot to be done for them both, but with all the concern that's going on, it's probably for the best.
"You guys have had it rough right now too huh?" Spike asked the others as they all met up at the outside of the bank.
"Eh, not to big a deal anyway, I hated our job anyway." Cole replied in a dismissive tone while they tried focusing on what's important.
"Come on guys, we need to go! We all heard they were heading to the subway! Let's go now!" Spike announced as all of them started running through the streets to hit the subway.
"Ninja go!!" Spike and the others said at once as they changed back into they're ninja suits to be ready for a fight, Spike drew his Golden Weapon and made sure he knew what element was best for a situation like this. Spike could hear Allison crying a bit more again, and Spike sighed again knowing how much she's not liking all the ruckus
"Don't worry Allison, we'll make it back home soon." Spike assured her while they ran as fast as they could.
Everyone quickly made they're way to the tracks to see if there were any trains passing by, and soon enough, they all saw there was one train that was going away from the banks direction.
"That's them! Let's go boys!" Spike said with a serious look as they all jumped through the ceiling and landed on the roof which got the generals attention.
"Sounds like we have company!" Acidius hissed as they heard the bang on the top.
"But I only heard 4, aren't there 5 of them?" Skalidor asked wondering where the last one is.
"No stupid, we caught one of them!" Fangtom reminded as Spike and the others were trying to find a way to get inside.
"Does anyone see a way inside?" Cole asked as they were trying not to fall of from the fast train.
"Not without a ticket!" Kai shouted just before something grabbed Kai through the roof and pulled him into the train.
"I believe Kai just found it." Zane joked while they crawled up to the hole.
"Come on guys, let's be careful with them!" Spike warned as he jumped inside the hole and drew his Golden Weapon and he started to use his Fire element with it.
"Let our friend go!" Spike shouted as he shot a strong fireblast at Skalidor to free Kai. Everyone got ready to fight against eachother, and Spike kept Allison close while he was blocking off the generals attacks.
"Let's take them down guys! We're not gonna let them get away with this!" Cole said with anger as he punched Fangtom in the chest and made his heads slam against the window which shattered it.
"Get away? We're not trying to get away, we're just distracting you for long enough, so that Scales can kidnap Lloyd!" Fangtom announced which scared all of them.
"What?!" Kai asked with shock to hear this.
"We could care less about the money, we just wanted the boy! Who's the fool now?" Fangtom asked mockingly while all of the generals laughed at them all.
Meanwhile with Lloyd back at his apartment, he was currently playing video games and wasn't too concerned with anything else, but as he kept on playing, he noticed a familiar snake on the reflection of the tv, and that's when he gasped in shock and saw Scales was here to kidnap him.
"Hello little boy." Scales greeted which made Lloyd very scared to see him here.
"Help me!" Lloyd screamed as he tried running to the door, but as Scales was trying to make his way inside, Lloyd wasn't able to get the door to open because of the security system.
"The door is locked." The system said automatically which annoyed Lloyd hearing it.
"I know! I want it open!" Lloyd screamed as Scales cut open a hole through the window and pushed it forward so he could finally break inside the place.
"What do you want with me?!" Lloyd asked with fear as Scales was moving up to him.
"You seem to be the only thing your father cares about! Once I have you as my hostage, he will have no choice but to lead the Serpentine!" Scales answered while Lloyd was trying to escape, but was soon cornered to not do anything about it.
"Let's.. train.." Scales said in a menacing tone just before a knock on the door was heard.
"Hello? What's going on in there?" Wu asked from the other side as he and Nya finally got back.
"Help!!" Lloyd screamed with fear which made Wu and Nya afraid for his safety.
We cut back to the train battle that everyone else was in, Spike was infuriated to know that Lloyd's in danger, and if this is just a distraction, they needed to stop this fast. Zane avoided another venom spit from Acidius and he quickly ran over the ceiling to strike at him from behind.
"We have to save Lloyd!" Cole shouted as he blocked one of Fangtom's punches, Spike assisted with this and he used his trident and whacked him across the train.
Spike then drew his trident and started twirling it around to use another power he has to stop them now.
"We need to deal with them fast! Watch out guys! Lightning!" Spike screamed as he shot a powerful lightning blast at all the generals at once, and that was strong enough to destroy most of the windows on the train, and it brought them all down in an instant.
The generals groaned with pain as Spike came up to them and raised his weapon at them, Allison hissed at them both while the others surrounded them all.
"This was all a big misunderstanding!" Skalidor lied while Cole looked out the window and he saw something ahead of them.
"Guys! I think I see Jay!" Cole announced which was worrying for them to know.
Jay was still hopping through the tunnel to try and find his way out of here, he soon saw a familiar light ahead of him that was coming at a fast pace.
"Finally, a way out!" Jay said with relief for a brief moment, but as Cole, Spike and Zane made they're way to the front of the train, they saw there wasn't any driver to stop the train, Jay quickly realized the light was actually a train cart, and he tried hopping back the way he came as fast as he could.
"Where's the driver?!" Cole asked with fear as the train wasn't stopping with the speed it's at.
"It appears to be automatically controlled!" Zane observed while they tried finding a way to stop this thing from reaching him. Spike looked around for anything that could stop the thing, and he soon saw a lever that could make the train stop hopefully
"Guys, we gotta hit the brakes!" Spike shouted as he grabbed on the lever and he pulled it down with all his strength, Zane tried to help Spike with this, and they were trying to slow the train down, but they're strength wasn't enough to stop it for now.
"It's not slowing down!" Cole said with fear while he joined in and they all tried holding the lever down to stop this train.
Kai was trying to hold off the other generals, but the train's breaks were able to be heard, and the generals saw this as a way to escape being stopped for now.
"I'm sure they could use your help, but what do I know?" Acidius asked while Kai tried making a decision on what to do.
"We're not strong enough!" Zane shouted from the front which finally made Kai decide what to do.
"I'm coming!" Kai screamed as he ran up to the front to stop the train, and that was what let the other generals escape unfortunately.
Kai quickly ran up to where Spike, Allison and the others were, and they quickly all tried pulling the switch together to stop it.
"Everyone, together, now!" Kai shouted as they all pulled the switch down as hard as they could, the train was finally starting to slow down the longer they held the thing down as they tried not letting go.
"Come on.. please.. work!" Spike begged while they all screamed as the train barely touched Jay, but thankfully, the train finally stopped after all of that tension, and they all sighed in relief to know that Jay's safe.
"Hey, there you guys are! You uh.. mind giving me a hand here?" Jay asked nervously while everyone looked at eachother and sighed in relief.
After they united Jay, they all quickly made they're way back to the apartment to see if Lloyd's okay, with him being alone, the chances of him being kidnapped may be possible, and they didn't want that to happen.
"Lloyd? Are you here?!" Spike shouted through the whole room as they tried finding where he could be.
Kai tried checking the training area, but Lloyd wasn't there either, and it made him really scared for what's happened.
"Oh, we shouldn't have left him!" Kai said with regret as all of them felt awful for this.
"We shouldn't have taken those day jobs in the first place, what were we thinking? Losing Lloyd is by far our greatest lost.." Cole said with regret while all of them looked down with shame.
But as they were thinking over this, a familiar sensei had walked in just as they got back.
"But it could be your greatest lesson." Wu announced which made them all turn to the door, and they saw him, Nya and Lloyd were all together which gave them huge relief.
"Lloyd!" Spike and the others said at once while they went over to make sure he was okay.
"Your okay!" Kai said with joy as they took close looks to make sure he isn't hurt.
"I wasn't going to be, until Nya and Sensei showed up at the last moment." Lloyd explained while he looked at Wu and Nya.
"I go away for a day and everything falls apart." Nya teased which made Spike chuckle a bit knowing it was true.
"We've learned today that we don't need all this fancy stuff, we just need eachother." Kai said with a grateful look while Spike kept Allison asleep once again.
"You want us to help you clean up?" Wu asked while they were all next to eachother by now.
"That sounds nice, after a day like this, some help is something we all need by now.." Spike replied with a tired look as he sat down for a moment.
"Hold on guys, I got a better idea." Cole announced which got all of they're attention.
We cut back to the old apartment they were shown before, while it may be very small and cramped at times, it's still a proper place they can stay at until they know what to do next.
"It's not much, but this one bedroom, one half bath is a cozy dream. Who needs extra's when everything's in arms reach?" Cole asked while everyone was bringing in supplies.
"Was that necessary to repeat Cole?" Spike asked while he helped bring in a desk and some sleeping bags for them.
"This feels like home to me, at least we'll be able to stay in Ninjago city for a little while." Jay added while trying to keep the mood positive.
"And now without all the distractions, we can put all of our energy into training Lloyd." Zane added while Spike was helping Lloyd with some more furniture.
"And I'll have more time to take care of Allison now, that's a good thing at least." Spike said with a smile as he put the furniture in a proper spot, and he rubbed Allison's head as she fell asleep once again.
"I know the Serpentine generals got away, but you never told us, whatever happened to Scales?" Kai asked wondering what happened with him.
"Oh, he found a home too, but it's not quite as roomy as here." Wu replied which made Spike get an idea of where he was taken.
We cut to a prison where Scales was taken too after failing to kidnap Lloyd, he was put in a small cell to serve his time, and Scales was not happy about it at all.
"Mark my words, this isn't the last you'll see of me!" Scales screamed to the city which no one was able to hear.
"Lights out." A guard announced which made Scales more upset.
"Oh very funny, you'll rue the day you made a fool of me!" Scales threatened as the guard turned off the lights.
"Yeah, yeah yeah." The guard said with uninterested tone while the screen fades to black.
But far away from Ninjago city, Garmadon and the Serpentine finally reached the Golden Peaks, and he was ready to do what he set out to do so long ago.
"The Golden Peaks, the birthplace of the Golden Weapons.." Garmadon announced to all the Serpentine who were in awe of what they were seeing.
Garmadon then raised all of the Golden Weapons in the air, and with all they're power combined, they had a special piece of lava float up to Garmadon who let them be taken.
"Yes.. it's working!" Garmadon said maliciously as the Golden Weapons were being forged into something far more powerful, the golden weapons glowed brightly before they were all formed into one powerful weapon which blinded most of the snakes there, all of them were in awe of what they saw, and Garmadon had an evil smile as he took the newly formed weapon.
But the power was so great, even Garmadon could feel the pain of having so much power be held in one hand which made him scream in pain.
"Your Eminence! Are you okay?" A snake asked as Garmadon took heavy breaths, but he didn't look to be in pain, in fact, he looked even stronger then he did before.
"Yes.. in fact.. I've never felt more powerful! Now to destroy the ninja.. once and for all!" Garmadon announced as he laughed evilly across the entire mountain while the new weapon glowed bright with the extreme power it had.
The camera pans far away from the mountain, going through all of Ninjago until it reached Ninjago City once again, we cut back to where Spike and the others were living right now, everyone was trying to sleep the best they could with what they had, Spike was in a sleeping bag and was holding Allison close to him while Wu tried to meditate. But as he kept trying to focus, the candle he had in the center of the room suddenly went out, and he could hear a familiar laugh coming from far away.
"I fear there is a great disturbance in the force..." Wu said with worry as things were going to be tougher for all of them now..
Author's Note
Hey guys thanks for reading this! So starts of season 2, I'm gonna have to do a few unique ideas to have Spike be able to be apart of this while still having his Golden Weapon, I have a few ideas on how he can assist in future episodes going forward, while the first half of season 2 is pretty boring for most people, I have some ideas to make things move along nicely, and until Lloyd gets older, we're taking a simpler approach for now, so I hope you don't mind it, thank you all for reading this, and hope you look forward to more!
