Spike The Spinjitzu Master
17: Ninjaball Run
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was another day in Ninjago city once again, Spike and the others were currently at Darreth's dojo again to help train Lloyd and Spike up some more, Spike's been trying his best to get a hang of his powers even without using his Golden Weapon, he knows he'll have a lot to face soon, and he thought using his Golden Weapon a bit less then usual could help him with training, but something tells him he's gonna have to rely on his own strength soon enough.
But as of right now, Lloyd was trying to balance himself on his hand while Spike and the others were on top of him like a pyramid, Spike made sure Allison was safely away from this little session, and given Lloyd's current situation, he's not gonna hold out for much longer.
"Focus, in order to learn to burden the weight of all of Ninjago on your shoulders.. you must first learn to bear the weight of all of us." Wu instructed as Spike and the others were balancing themselves while Spike was on Wu's hat while balancing himself on his tail.
"Master Wu.. I don't think this is a good idea!" Spike warned while he saw everyone was struggling a bit.
"Do not worry Spike, all Lloyd needs to do is focus." Wu advised once again while he handed Spike some tea which he took.
"Uh.. sensei, I'm starting to agree with Spike on this.." Jay said with worry which everyone else agreed with.
"Yeah Sensei, he's just a kid." Cole added as they were barely staying still all together.
"In order for him to succeed, we must all trust one another." Wu advised while he saw Allison was trying to sleep on one of the platforms in the room.
But as they were all trying to keep balance, a large wrecking ball suddenly smashed through the window of the place which shook everyone off balance and they fell to the ground, and it not only woke up Allison really roughly, it also started to make her cry again from the noise.
"Ugh.. what was that?!" Spike asked with surprise as he ran over to Allison to comfort her again. The construction workers who heard the ruckus soon came up to see Spike and the ninja were still here which was confusing to them, just until Darreth finally ran into the room to stop all of this.
"Whoa, whoa whoa! This wasn't supposed to happen until tomorrow!" Darreth said with a desperate voice which worried the others.
"Tomorrow? Let me see that order?" One of them asked the other who gave him a piece of paper, and he saw that Darreth was right about the date.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that, we'll be back in the morning." The guy declared before he and the crew started to leave while Spike was calming his daughter down.
"Shh, shh.. it's alright girl, it's okay.." Spike said calmly while he shook her to calm her down, and she seemed to stop crying after being assured that. And soon everyone turned to Darreth and was wondering what's going on.
"Uh.. Darreth? What's this all about?" Cole asked as Darreth held up a broken trophy.
"Well I've fell behind on some of my payments, and some developer named Darnagom Enterprises is buying the entire block to put in some stupid Frisbee golf course. They say that if I don't come up with 50'000 by tomorrow, the dojo's gone.." Darreth said regretfully which was worrying to all of them.
"We already lost the Bounty, we can't lose the dojo now!" Jay said with worry while Darreth was crying over his fake trophies.
"Sorry about this Darreth.." Spike said regretfully while he patted his back, and that's when Zane took a close look at the billboard of the buyer of this block.
"Wait a minute, Darnagom? When you rearrange the letters, it spells..." Zane pointed out which they all finally could see fully.
"Garmadon!" Kai said with anger while Lloyd was looking down with regret to know this.
"My dad is behind all this?" Lloyd asked with worry while Spike finally put Allison back to sleep and looked at his Golden Weapon with a worried look.
"Any chance you got 50,000 in that teapot of yours? Or Spike's fancy weapon could sell for a high price?" Darreth asked while Wu remained calm over all of this.
"Worry not Darreth, your not in this alone, we're all here for you." Wu assured just as they heard Nya come in to help them out with this.
"Did somebody say 50,000?" Nya announced which made Jay gasp with hope.
"You didn't happen to win the lottery?!" Jay asked hopefully which she quickly put down.
"No, but I heard about Ninjaball run." Nya replied which confused the whole group.
"Ninjaball run?" Spike and the others asked at once while she went on to explain what it is.
"It's the biggest road race in all of Ninjago, the price is 100,000 big ones! And it's tomorrow!" Nya explained which gave the group hope on what to do.
"A race?! Oh we got to participate in that! Not only will it help us get the money we need, it may be pretty fun too!" Spike suggested which the others were going along with.
"While it may sound fun little guy, it's actually one of the most dangerous races known to man.. only the most serious of racers even stand a chance." Darreth replied with a regretful look.
"Didn't you just say you finished upgrades to the Sonic Radar? Maybe we might stand a chance?" Kai suggested while Spike got an idea on what to do.
"I still have my Golden Weapon which can turn into a bike, so I can sign up to help out you guys during it! I'm just gonna need someone to look over Allison so she doesn't get hurt." Spike announced which made Nya come up to him.
"Don't worry Spike, I'll take care of her." Nya assured while she held Allison in her arms.
"And I can enter with my Dragon! You all said I need some practice." Lloyd announced as well which gave them a plan on what to do.
"So it is all agreed, you will all enter Ninjaball run to save the dojo." Wu instructed which everyone was glad to agree with.
"Let's get going then, come on guys!" Spike insisted as he was quickly running out the room to start signing up.
We cut to the next day after Spike and the rest of the Ninja signed up, Spike managed to form his weapon into his motorcycle again that was like Kai's old fire bike, and the ninja were entered in with they're Sonic Radar as well.
"Welcome to the 14th annual Ninjaball run!" One of the announcers greeted while the other continued for him.
"The Grand prix where it doesn't matter how you get there, as long as you'll get there first." The announcer said as Wu and Darreth with his pupils came to the bleachers while Wu held Allison closely.
"Well let's take a look at the racers. At the starting line, I see a few familiar faces." The announcer said as the Ultra Dragon landed near the mailman who outfitted his ride with engines to make it go faster.
"Watch it you big oaf!" He said with annoyance while Lloyd held onto his chains.
"You look nervous Lloyd, you okay?" Cole asked as Spike was getting ready to drive himself.
"Nervous? Haha, maybe for you guys." Lloyd countered with a confident look just as Nya was hopping down to give them some info.
"One final thing, I installed a really cool upgrade, so if your ever in a tight spot, pull that lever, because what it does..." Nya was trying to explain what that lever does, but some naughty kids from the school were making they're bus make loud sounds in order to cut them off, and Spike cut them off by making his engine sound louder then theirs.
"Back off!" Spike warned the kids which made them shut up for now.
"All right, the race is about to start, and the officials are saying that we are almost ready to begin!" One of the announcers continued as the ninja completely missed what Nya had to say.
"That's my cue, gotta go!" Nya insisted as she started to run off.
"Wait, Nya! We couldn't hear you!" Kai shouted as she ran off to the bleachers just before they saw more racers come up, and they saw Cole and Jay's parents had entered the race too.
"Look, it's my dad, they entered the race too?" Cole asked with surprise while Spike turned to the group with an idea.
"You think if either Ed and Edna or Lou and his crew wins, they could share the prize money with us to save the dojo?" Spike suggested which Cole liked the sound of.
"Huh, that's actually a good idea, as long as he's alright with helping us with saving the dojo and helping Lloyd stop his father!" Cole shouted to Lou who was able to hear it all and gave an approved look meaning he's willing to help with Cole was relieved by.
"Alright, he's willing to help out, who else is competing?" Jay asked just before a dark portal opened, and the ninja saw one of the Skeleton vehicles had arrived in order to compete too along with the pirates.
"You gotta be kidding me.." Spike said with annoyance as he saw the Skeletons laugh like maniacs.
"Wait a minute, it appears some Skeletons have crashed the party! Is that against the rules?" One of the announcers asked the others who thought that was a joke.
"Rules? Ha! There's only one rule in Ninjaball run, and that's cross the finish line first! Let's take a look at the course." The other replied as they were showing the audience of the large track they had to race on in order to win the race.
They had to go through a long course to put it lightly, essentially meaning they had to go through familiar places they've been too, from all the way through Ninjago city, to that dessert they often traveled through too, and through a place called Crashcourse Canyon, through the Birchwood forest which was the place where they helped Zane unlock his true potential, and through the mountains far above known as the Icy Glacier Barrens, and finally back to Ninjago city through the scorching Badlands.
"So it's basically a roundabout race huh? As long as we don't get sabotaged, we may have a chance with this." Spike told himself as he got ready to drive as fast as he could.
"Remember guys, this is to save the dojo, and we're gonna have stiff competition with us." Kai warned while he looked over all the other racers.
"One final word, let's have a good clean race!" The announcer concluded just as Spike noticed the kids trying to sabotage the Sonic Radar.
"Hey! Get away from there now you punks!" Spike threatened which quickly got their attention, Spike blew some fire near they're feats to chase them off so they don't waste their time.
"You alright Spike? What just happened?" Lloyd asked while Spike just shook his head seeing them get back on they're bus.
"Just some pests trying to delay us moving forward." Spike replied which made Cole groan a bit knowing it.
"Ungrateful kids, we just saved them yesterday too! Did they learn anything after what happened?!" Cole asked with frustration which the others couldn't answer.
"So good luck to everyone!" The announcer continued as the light started to flash red, and everyone started to start they're engines to go as fast as they could.
"On your mark... get set.... Ninjaball... go!!" The announcer screamed just as the light finally flashed green which made Spike drive his Golden Vehicle as fast as it could along with the other racers.
"Don't lose them guys, let's stay in this!" Spike shouted as he was making his way past Lou's crew to try and take the lead while Lloyd's dragon was flying wildly from the lack of control.
Spike soon heard an engine sound behind him, and he saw Ed and Edna had an impressive defense option with they're own vehicles, and they were able to push past the other racers pretty quickly which surprised him a bit.
"Heh, I can see why your parents are inventors Jay! That's actually really smart!" Spike said to Jay who had to admit that was true.
"Yeah, I can admit that, let's just hope they can help us out if they win." Jay prayed before they kept on driving forward, but they could see Lloyd's dragon was starting to fly the wrong way again.
"Wrong way! We're going the wrong way!" Lloyd screamed as he went flying through the city and went off course.
However, at the jail that Scales was thrown in, the other Serpentine generals were using a chain to burst open the wall that was near the cell Scales was in, and he laughed evilly from finally being freed, and he hopped down to the other generals to get out of here.
"It's about time! Let's get out of here!" Scales ordered to Acidius who quickly drove the bus off as fast as he could, but as they were trying to make they're escape, police cars soon followed behind them as they burst in through to the course, and now they were competing like all the other people as well.
"What in the world is going on?!" Scales asked with surprise just as Spike drove right past them, and he looked over his shoulder and saw the Serpentine generals were in this race now too.
"You've gotta be kidding me!!" Spike shouted with anger as he saw they were being chased by the police too.
"Ooh, looks like things just got more interesting! It seems that new competitors have entered the race!" The announcer observed while Allison hissed seeing they're presence which made Wu try and calm her down.
"It's okay Allison, your father will push through this with his friends, they always do." Wu assured which was calming her down a bit.
However, far away with Garmadon and the other Serpentine, they were flying in the sky's on the Black Bounty again after deciding how to sabotage Lloyd's training again.
"Now that the dojo is going to be destroyed, we'll crush them before Lloyd ever gets the chance to become the Green Ninja." Garmadon said to his minions just until they heard the announcers on the tv, and he saw that the ninja and Spike were all in the race to win the cash prize, and Spike was quickly making his way to 2nd place by now.
"It looks like our dragon friend is getting close to first place! But can he and the ninja handle the competition they have! Let's find out!" One of the announcers said which angered Garmadon from what he was seeing.
"They're trying to save the dojo? Don't they ever quit?! Agh, Set sail for the race at once, we can't let them win!" Garmadon ordered once again which made them make the Bounty fly even faster again to catch up with the others.
Spike and the other racers were soon making they're way out into the dessert as fast as they could, Spike was making sure to avoid crashing into anyone else, as well as avoiding any attempts at being sabotaged. They all were soon making they're way to Crashcourse Canyon, and Spike braced himself for the tight turns he's gonna have to make.
"I think it's a time for you to get rid of those inflatables you too!" Spike shouted to Ed and Edna who complied with by detaching the inflatable balls that were on they're wheels, and Spike laughed as he saw them hit a few racers to slow them down. Ed soon turned on another switch which activated some spiked blades that were on their wheels too, and they quickly made they're way through to keep up with first place.
"You guys sure know how to make mods to your vehicle! Mind teaching me how to do that someday?" Spike asked them who were glad to help him out.
"Of course Spike, just make sure you and your friends make it through this race alright?" Edna asked as he saw them going ahead of them which made Spike go back to the others who were trying to get in front of the others.
The kids from before were trying to drive the bus forward, but they soon saw Soto and the other pirates were taking aim at them with a canon, and Gene moved the bus right into the car to knock it out of place.
"Treachery me lads! Let em have it!" Soto ordered his crew who tried slamming into the bus, Brad saw that they were about to hit the Canyon, and Brad took care of the pirates by slamming the bus into them again to finish them off,
"Ouchy mama! Pirates are out of the race!" The announcer said with surprise as Spike drove past them while laughing at them a bit.
"Try not to crash into a canyon next time!" Spike joked which made Soto upset with his mockery.
"Pajama dragon!!" Soto screamed with frustration while the ninja had just drove past them too.
"Alright guys, we've made it to the canyon! If we can keep this up, we may actually have a chance of winning!" Jay said with relief as Spike was driving right besides them.
"You guys need any help with getting to 1st?" Spike asked while he was making sure to avoid any rocks.
But to make that question apparent, they all saw a large shadow come above them, and they looked above them to see that Garmadon had arrived finally with the Black Bounty with him.
"Oh no, Garmadon!" Cole said with surprise as they were being chased by him.
"Are you going to use the Megaweapon?" One of the snakes asked while Spike was trying to figure out what to do.
"What's the point, look at them, they're trapped like rats, set all the cannons on them, now that they're in our sight, there's nowhere to run!" Garmadon ordered while Spike was driving right next to the Radar.
"Spike, take your cannon, try to shoot down what they fire at us!" Kai advised while his canon was opening up for him.
"Got it!" Spike shouted before he flipped off his vehicle and it disappeared into his Golden Weapon again, and Spike swiftly landed down on his canon to defend them.
Spike switched the elemental canon to Ice for this, and he turned his canon around a full 180 degrees and took aim at the ship.
"This is for our ship Garmadon!" Spike screamed as he started to fire Ice blasts at the ship to slow them down.
But just as Spike shot his ice blast at one of the canonballs, they heard a loud roar and they saw Lloyd come in with Ultra Dragon after finally catching up.
"Out of the way!!" Lloyd screamed just before he slammed into the ship which knocked it off balance, and Spike and the ninja cheered as they were making they're escape from Garmadon again while he was slowing down.
"Nice going guys!" Kai complimented while Lloyd tried grabbing the chains, but he was knocked off balance and almost fell off, but managed to grab the chains just before he hit the ground, but was able to come face to face with the group.
"You need any help with that Lloyd?" Spike asked while he turned the canon back forward so he can see him too.
"Don't worry Spike, I'm fine! Why don't we all work together for this?" Lloyd asked which Jay liked the sound of.
"Yeah! I'd say we show them what we Ninja are all about!" Jay said confidently while Spike opened the hatch and jumped off it before forming into his vehicle again
"Let's show them what we're made of! Ninja go!!" Spike and the others screamed while Lloyd was climbing back up to his dragon.
"Agh, they're getting away!" Garmadon said with frustration while one of the snakes was a bit confused.
"Why don't you use the Mega Weapon?" The snake asked again which made him slap his face.
"Because I can only use it once a day before it zaps all of my energy from me, then who's gonna slap you around to get this ship moving?!" Garmadon countered before he slapped the snake in the face to get him moving.
"Okay! You heard the evil lord! Full speed ahead!" The snake ordered the others who quickly went to their positions to keep going forward.
The audience was cheering for Spike and the other ninja as they were all making great progress through the race. Allison cooed in a happy way seeing that her father was still able to keep going.
"Looks like our leaders are just about to enter the second leg of the race, into the Birchwood Forest." The announcer continued while Spike and the ninja were making great progress with going through the forest.
Lou and his Blacksmith crew were still going through the forest like all the others, but after crashing into a large wood, they're vehicle hit the snow and it meant they were out of the race too, but they didn't seem to upset about it, and they only sung they're feelings out about what happened while Spike and the others drove past them.
"Oh man.." Cole said with an upset look as he felt bad for his dad crashing now.
"Don't worry Cole, we'll make sure they'll get back later." Spike assured which Cole wasn't sure of.
"We'll never get through those trees to catch up." Kai announced as they were a bit behind right now thanks to Garmadon.
"I'll find a shortcut! Up boy!" Lloyd instructed his dragon who quickly flew upwards and Lloyd was able to get a view of where they can go to get into first place.
"Follow me!" Lloyd shouted as he and the Ultra Dragon flew ahead of them, and Spike and the others tried keeping up with him, Lloyd cheered with joy as he was able to fly his dragon well now, and Jay was glad to see him get a hang of things.
"Wow, it looks like he's getting the hang of it!" Jay said with a proud look while Cole looked to where the other racers are.
"And it looks like we've made up for lost time too!" Cole added as they saw the other racers not to far ahead of them. Spike noticed the Skeletons were gonna try to sabotage them, and he knew he had to do something to stop them.
"Lloyd, watch out!" Spike warned just before the skeletons shot a large hand at the Ultra Dragon to slow him down, and Lloyd screamed just as they all saw him being brought down with the Ultra dragon. The skeletons laughed mockingly seeing this, and Spike wasn't happy about this at all.
"You think that's funny?! Let's see you laugh at this!" Spike screamed as he activated a fire canon on his vehicle which took aim at the skeletons who noticed it.
"Uh oh..." Cruncha said with fear just before Spike shot the fire blast at the wheel, and that made their vehicle completely flip in the air and they soon crashed down very roughly as a result of Spike's attack.
"Next time, do your own races!" Spike mocked while he drove past them to keep up with the others which left them frustrated for losing.
Lloyd groaned a bit as he got off the dragon who was pretty roughed up from crashing like that.
"You okay there boy?" Lloyd asked with worry which made the dragon roar a bit to assure him he's alright.
"We got them back in the race, let's hope they can catch up with the leaders." Lloyd prayed while Darreth was feeling devastated knowing Lloyd's out of the race now.
"Excuse us, but your all friends of the boy dragon rider, and that talking dragon aren't you? Tell us, how do you feel?" One of the announcers asked Darreth who looked down with guilt.
"Oh, I feel terrible, and it's all my fault. The only reason they entered the race at all was to save my dojo, and if they don't win, developers are gonna tear it down, leaving all the poor kids without a helping center to enrich they're tiny little lives." Darreth said with guilt while looking at his pupils which the audience found very heartwarming, and they all started to cheer for Spike and the others to save the dojo.
"i don't know if you can feel it up there in the booth but, down here it appears they're favored racers, Spike and the Ninja!" The announcer cheered while all the people were hoping they'd win the race.
"Go daddy!" Allison cheered while Nya chuckled hearing her happy voice.
"I feel it alright! but they better buckle up their seatbelts, because next up is the most dangerous part of the race.. the Glacier Barrens!" The other one warned as Spike and the others were finally making they're way into the mountains.
Spike and the others kept on going as fast as they could through the mountains, and they barely avoided hitting some residents of the mountain who were upset with almost being run over.
"Sorry!!" Spike screamed while he drove past the others, and Scales and the other generals were having trouble shaking off the police.
"I can't shake them!" Scales said with fear just before they drove past the snakes which made Acidius realize something.
"They aren't interested in catching you.." Acidius suggested which made Scales realize this too.
"Those copers are just trying to win the race!" Scales concluded while they saw the cops try to go past the mailman, but they were knocked out of place and they soon crashed into one of the igloo's that the people lived in, and even the mailman crashed down after running into a snowman which left only a few more racers in the race now.
"Finally, nothing can stop us now!" Kai said with a confident look, but as something was mocking them, Kai started to see the engines were slowing down, which meant they were getting low on fuel.
"Oh no, we've used up all our fuel, we're not gonna make it to the finish line!" Zane said with fear as the Radar was slowing down.
"Ugh, I hate to say it guys, but I think our goose is cooked!" Jay said with fear while Spike was trying to keep up with them.
"Spike, don't worry about us, just focus on winning the race!" Cole instructed to Spike who had no choice but to keep on going.
"I'll try to make sure you guys can catch up if you find a way!" Spike shouted before he drove even faster to take 1st place.
"You guys look like you could use a hand their, we heard on the radio that your trying to save Darreth's dojo." Ed announced while he and Edna drove right besides him.
"And we're so proud of you son!" Edna added which made Jay smile a bit hearing that from them.
"Thanks mom, but we're out of gas!" Jay reminded which gave her an idea.
"Oh, then take ours!" Edna offered which surprised him a bit.
"But if we stop, we'll lose them!" Jay reminded as they saw Spike driving ahead even faster to avoid being caught up with.
"Well then, we'll just have to do this the hard way son!" Ed announced while he held out a pipe to transfer the fuel.
They both brought they're vehicles closer to eachother in order to transfer the fuel, Ed planted the pipe in the fuel tank so they can begin the transfer.
"Take this in son!" Ed shouted as he tossed Jay the other end of it, he made it to the hatch and tried attaching it to help them with the fuel.
"Ready!" Jay shouted which made Ed pull a switch which began transferring the fuel which Garmadon was falling behind with the others.
"We're not fast enough, we're pulling away!" Garmadon said with anger at them losing the other racers.
"But we're at maximum speed!" One of the snakes reminded which made Garmadon realize something.
"Then get rid of the excess weight!" Garmadon ordered which confused him a bit.
"What excess weight?" The snake asked which made Garmadon glare at him. A kick sound was suddenly heard and we see all the snakes were being tossed off in order to lose speed while they landed face flat on the snow, and some of them landed on the bus Scales was driving.
"I order you to slow the ninja down! That dragons already in 1st place, we can't let them win!" Garmadon ordered his soldiers who were trying to make they're way to the Sonic Radar as the fuel was almost filled up.
"We've got company boys!" Cole warned while all the ninja turned to see the snakes were about to attack them.
They soon jumped onto the Radar's side and Jay used Spinjitzu to kick them off of it.
"Need some help guys!" Jay shouted while Zane went up to the top of the thing too.
"We've got your back, ninja go!!" Zane screamed again while he and the other ninja used Spinjitzu again to knock off the other snakes again.
One Hypnobrai soon came up to Zane and tried using his hypnosis to stun him.
"Look into my eyes ninja.." The snake hissed while Zane used an alternative and turned his head like an owl which disgusted the snake.
"Aw, that is so gross!" The snake said with disgust just before Cole threw some snowballs into his eyes which knocked him off the Sonic Rader. But that only made things worse for them as the snake landed right in front of the drivers seat which spiraled both they're vehicles out of control.
And this only got worse for the other racers who all ended up being caught in the crash which surprised the crowd with what's happening.
"Not again!" Nya said with horror while they saw them on the screen.
"I can't take this anymore!" Darreth said with despair while the ninja's vehicle was finally slowing down after the large crash.
"Guys!" Spike screamed with fear as he saw they've all stopped far behind him while he kept on driving.
The ninja's all groaned as they felt dizzy from the large crash ahead, they turned ahead of them and saw Spike was the only one still able to go, and they prayed he could make it to the finish line.
"Let's hope Spike can win this thing." Kai prayed while Jay ran up to his parents to make sure they're alright.
"Thank goodness your okay!" Jay said with relief as he took off his mask again.
"Oh we're fine son, wish I could say the same for the old jalopy." Ed assured as they looked at they're car.
"Yeah, shame she couldn't make it to the finish line." Edna added while Jay looked at the car, and saw one of the parts of it and got an idea to help them see that go through.
"I'll make sure part of it will." Jay assured as he ran back to the Sonic Radar and attached it to front.
"Let's go, we got a dojo to save!" Jay said with confidence as the Radar finally recovered from the crash and soon drove off to catch up with Spike.
"Go make us proud son!" Ed cheered while he and Edna were left behind.
Spike and the ninja drove down the mountains and were soon making it to the dessert where the last part of the race was.
"Guys, you made it!" Spike said with relief while he slowed down to meet up with them.
"Don't worry about us Spike, Jay's parents were able to help out!" Zane assured while they saw Garmadon was just up ahead of them
"Looks like it's just us and Garmadon!" Cole declared while he was speeding up the Radar to go even faster.
"This time, let's make sure good guys don't finish last!" Kai added while he pulled the lever forward which was making it go faster. Spike saw he should help the others out again, and he soon jumped off his vehicle which turned into his weapon again, and he landed on the Radar and slid into Zane's seat.
Garmadon chuckled evilly as he thought he was gonna win, but he soon saw Spike and the others were making they're way ahead of him which made him furious.
"No! I hate those ninja and that dragon! It's time.. you think you can beat me ninja?! This race is mine!" Garmadon screamed to the ninja who were driving far ahead of him.
"Hear me Mega weapon, I wish to rip open Ninjago, and make an insurmountable obstacle that they shall never pass!" Garmadon wished which made his Mega weapon glow brightly, and he shot a beam far ahead of both of their vehicles, and that power was so strong, it started to crack open the earth, and it soon formed a huge hole that blocked Spike and the other's path with how massive that was.
"Ahh! That's totally cheating!" Jay said with anger as they saw Garmadon flying off ahead of them.
"Guys, it's impossible to cross that divide." Zane added as they saw the massive gap between them.
"What do we do now?" Spike asked with frustration of what they're seeing, and that's when Kai remembered the lever Nya had told them about before.
"Hold on guys, this isn't over!" Kai said hopefully before he finally pulled the lever again and he made the Sonic Radar drive forward again.
"Uh.. you do know we're aiming straight for that cliff right?" Jay reminded with a nervous look.
"I haven't had time to think it through, what was it that sensei said? You gotta have trust. " Kai replied which upset Cole a bit.
"Yeah, in eachother, not miracles!" Cole shouted as they were right near the edge of the large gap.
"Ugh, Nya, don't fail us now! Alright... now!" Kai screamed as he finally pulled the lever, and that activated a special addition to the Radar which was able to detach the drivers part of the machine, and it soon spread open it's own wings and began taking off into the air.
"Ninja go!!" Spike and the others screamed as they used Spinjitzu again and landed on the edge of it.
"This thing can fly?! Thank you Nya!" Spike said with joy as they were finally catching up with Garmadon.
Garmadon laughing evilly as he thought he finally one, but as he looked at a camera, he saw Spike and the ninja were finally catching up with him.
"No.. no! NO!!" Garmadon screamed with despair while the crowd cheered seeing them catching up with Garmadon.
"He pulled the lever!" Nya cheered while all the people were cheering for the ninja to win.
Spike and the ninja were flying right next to Garmadon and the Bounty, and they all prayed that they would win this thing.
"It looks like it's going to be a photo finish!" The announcer said just as the ninja's vehicle crossed the finish line in less then a second before Garmadon did, and they soon landed on the ground and the crowed cheered for them all.
"Ninja! Ninja!" The crowd cheered while Garmadon hopped off the ship and thought he won.
"I won! I Won! Clearly I passed the finish line first!" Garmadon said with frustration just before the winners were announced.
"Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner! The Ninja! The Ninja have won it!" The announcer cheered as they saw the part of Ed and Edna's car had crossed the line first which made everyone cheer with joy.
"Yeah, I knew this would bring us luck!" Jay told the others who were happy with winning.
"We did it Allison, we did it!" Spike cheered while Nya handed her to him again and he gave her a tight hug.
"No, that isn't fair! It wasn't even part of their vehicle in the first place! It's not even street legal! My ship was.." Garmadon was trying to argue against this, but Lloyd had finally caught up with them and had the Ultra Dragon on the Bounty.
"Your ship? I believe this belongs to us!" Lloyd reminded as he was taking back they're home.
"No no no!!" Garmadon screamed with despair as he heard the police come up from behind him.
"Alright Garmadon, your coming with us." The officer ordered while they walked up to him, but a familiar bus came right in front of him, and Scales opened the door to help Garmadon out.
"Look who needs who now?" Scales mocked which made Garmadon have no choice but to get into the bus which drove off finally, meaning Spike and the others had they're home back finally.
"Somehow sensei, I don't think that's the last we're gonna see him." Nya joked while Spike gave his daughter some candy to keep her happy.
"Whatever's the case, at least we have our home back, Rainbow Dash would be so proud of us for winning this race." Spike said with joy as she definitely would if she was here.
"We did it! We did it! We saved the dojo! Look at what I can do.. Canonball!" Darreth screamed as he jumped into the large golden cup full of money which everyone laughed at, everyone felt so glad to have the Bounty back and for saving Darreth's dojo, and hopefully soon, they'll all help Lloyd get strong enough now that they're have they're home back..
Author's Note
Hey guys thanks for reading this! I had fun making this chapter personally, I enjoy racing episodes that make things fun, and this episode did do some fun stuff to it with how much was going on. While Spike may not have been able to do much here, it'll be to the second half where he starts having more importance starting with Child's Play in the next chapter, same with Allison. But I just hoped that this chapter was fun to you guys, and you look forward to more!
