Starting my ninja training earlier than the boys has its advantages because not only does that mean I don't have to train with them, I get to train my idiot brothers. I sure do like making them regret their words on how I'm a kid. It feels great showing that I'm much more than that. But, It's less fun when I have to be a part of the lesson with them.

So that's how my day started off, unfortunately.

Being a part of the damn lesson.

~

I walk around the newly built training room, studying every last piece of it, making sure it's ready for when I train with it. "Sensei Wu and Nya did an amazing job building this place heh. Now, I gotta test this out heh," I say with a smile.

I take out my fans, getting into position. I take a few breathes to get myself in the mindset. "Focus. Stay in control. And-"

The door swings open, breaking my concentration. I sigh, turning to the person. "Oh, hey Lloyd," I say with a smile and a bit surprised. "What brings you here? Not exactly your scene."

"Oh, I just came in here to check out the new training room. Looks amazing by the way heh. I actually saw your brothers doing some last-minute tinkering before you came in. Anyway, cya!" Lloyd walks out of the room leaving me a bit confused.

I shake my head, shrugging it off. Probably just adding some new mechanics then. They do love adding new things to train on for their weapons.

I hit the button, turning on everything. I quickly get back instance, staring intently at it. That's when I run towards the training course, but of course, something gets in the way.

Damn destiny.

Everything that was attached to the machines become unattached causing everything to start being thrown around the room. I try to dodge and block but it's no use. There's just too damn much!

"Gah! Help! You damn idiots!"

~

I storm into my idiot brother's room, finding them all here arguing at each other. I don't care though. They are going to regret messing with the training room and almost drowning me in heavy equipment!

"You couldn't just be happy with the top score. You had to rub it in my face!" Kai angrily shouts at Cole.

Cole then shouts to Jay. "Do you know how long it took me to make that? Three days. Three days!"

"It's an unsaid law, okay? You don't touch a man's robot!"Jay shouts to Zane.

"How am I supposed to strike fear in this?!" Zane shouts at Kai, "It's pink!"

It's obvious that they aren't listening to each other and I'm just going to make this worse. Who cares though?! Their first mistake was messing with the training room!

"Uh excuse me, guys! Why did you all have to tamper with the new training equipment?! I was almost pelted to death by all of the heavy equipment! How could you all tamper with it?!"

We get into a very heated argument, just yelling at each other at this point. That's when Sensei Wu walks in on our argument, shaking his head in disappointment completely as he walks to the bathroom door and opens it, revealing Lloyd. We turn to Sensei as our eyes widen. Oh, come on Lloyd!

The young boy laughs at what he's caused and of course, sitting right next to the little monster, there's everything he used on us.

We gasp, "You did this?!"

Of course, he wouldn't stop pranking even though he's with us.

"Guys, I get first dibs on. . . " Cole says, getting ready to punch Lloyd.

Lloyd immediately gets scared, but luckily for him, Sensei Wu steps in front of Cole and stopping him. "No dibs. I put him up to this for today's lesson. I wanted to show you the destructive power of rumors and that jumping to conclusions can only lead to trouble. Did you ever think to find out if the accusations were true?"

"Uh, no offense, Sensei, but let me jump to this conclusion: today's lesson is lame," Cole says annoyed.

"Yeah, why can't you just teach us to paralyze your enemy with one finger, or find out if a man is lying by the twitch of his nose?" Jay asks hopefully.

"Also, why am I a part of this?! The last time I checked, I don't train with them! I train them! So why am I learning a lesson with them?!"

Sensei Wu shakes his head. "Because not all lessons are about fighting. You may have completed being a solo ninja, but you still have a lot to learn about teamwork in a ninja team. You are never done with learning either way. And it seems like I misplaced my lesson book."

Kai at Lloyd, seeing said lesson book in his pocket as he grabs it from him. "You mean this lesson book?"

"It was the perfect plan until you have to show up and mess everything up—" Lloyd's little rant gets interrupted by Cole closing the door on him.

"As much as I care about Lloyd, thank you, Cole."

Nya sighs before activating the speaker, talking into it, "If you're done fooling around, I could use you guys on the bridge. We do still have a problem to attend to. Over and out!"

Kai groans in annoyance. "It's one thing to let the son of your enemy live with you. But having my sister here? I mean, come on! I thought this was a ninja headquarters!"

"You do know I can hear you... over and out!" Nya says a bit disappointedly.

I facepalm, Kai giving a shocked expression.

"Idiot."

"Shut up."

~

We're all on the bridge as Nya explains the situation to us. "Last we heard of Pythor, he stole the from Lloyd and is now on his way to open the last two Serpentine tombs."

"Ugh, don't remind me." Lloyd groans as I pat his back.

"It's okay, it was a mistake. We all do mistakes after all heh," I say to him with a sympathetic smile.

Sensei Wu sighs. "Pythor's our most dangerous threat. If he finds those tombs before we do, with his intellect and all four tribes unleashed, there's no telling what he'll do."

I shudder at the thought of so many snakes being unleashed.

"But those tombs could be anywhere. Without the map, we might as well just throw darts at a map," Jay says frustrated.

"Good idea. Why don't we?" Nya says with a smile as she throws two darts at the map of Ninjago. "These are the two locations of the and tombs."

"Show off," Kai grumbles.

I snort at him as he gives me a glare. I quickly look away pretending I did no such thing.

"And this is Pythor's tomb," Nya says, throwing another dart. "After many hours of ruminating on why the tombs were placed in these three precise locations, I discovered a secret pattern. If you notice, all three are in line with the symbol for serpent."

"So the last two tombs must be here and here. Ah, you are so smart," Jay says smiling, falling deeper in love with her. It's just so cute heh.

Nya blushes, smiling. "Ah, was there ever any doubt?"

Sensei Wu stares at the map then turns to us with urgency in his eyes. "There's little time. Kai, Jay, and Y/n you head to the Venomari tomb. Cole and Zane, you take the Constrictai tomb. And take this. You might need it if you run into Pythor. Good luck, ninja." Handing the flute to Zane.

We all nod, running outside and jumping off of the ship. I manage to catch a glimpse of Zane wearing his pink gi, trying so hard not to laugh.

We all head off in separate directions to the two tombs as everyone summons their vehicles and I join Jay in his jet.

"What am I gonna do?" Nya asks Sensei Wu.

"Yeah, what are we gonna do?" Lloyd adds hopefully.

"Nya, I need you here to make sure Lloyd doesn't get into any more trouble."

"Yes, Sensei." Nya sighs, leaving with the young boy.

Sensei sighs as he looks at the map. "Where are you, Pythor? What are you up to?"

~

We finally arrive at the Toxic Bogs where the Venomari tomb is located at. The vehicles disappear, landing on the weird, squishy ground. We look around the swamp, disgusted by the smell of it. Doesn't help that there are snakes living here.

"I'm gonna vomit."

"Ew," Jay says disgusted, holding his mask.

"Hey, it's not me. We're in the Toxic Bogs. This stuff will eat through you worse than Cole's chili," Kai says as he sticks a stick in the toxic water, seeing it completely disintegrate.

"Let's head to the tomb and guard it already. This place makes me want to pass out."

The two nod as we all walk over the tumb, I cautiously following behind them. "I'm gonna stay behind here. Don't need to see snakes any time soon."

Kai smiles under his mask, ruffling my hair.

We finally arrive at the tomb, the door opened by the two. I wait for anything to come out as I quickly get instance, but nothing does. Strange. Even for snakes.

"Pee-yew," Jay says as the tomb echos and he laughs at it.

Kai sighs. "Let's just make this quick before Pythor gets here. Huh?" He says walking away.

"Are you sure nothing is going to come out?" I ask Jay nervously.

"It's fine Y/n. This place looks empty. We must've just missed them. Check this out. They say you're the Green Ninja, but I say I am!"

I sigh as I hear his echo echo back at him and I roll my eyes. I guess Green Ninja fever isn't going to stop any time soon. At least there aren't any snakes coming out.

My bored expression is quickly changed to a panicked one when I hear Kai call out to us in panic.

"Ugh! Jay? Y/n? Jay! Y/n!"

"Kai?!" I shout to him, but with no response. Of course, Jay doesn't notice my panicked voice because he's too damn focused on his stupid echo!

I shake my head deciding to run towards the panicking Kai as I quickly take out my fans. I see a bunch of Venomari snakes and I gotta say, I'm more disgusted than I ever was before.

I stand in front of Kai as he rambles on. "Oh, this is not good. Jay! Jay! There's so many. Elves and gingerbread people everywhere."

Did he get hit with their venom?!

I quickly block an incoming attack from a snake as I grab them and throw them towards another, both of them falling back into the water. I sweep one's feet causing them to fall and as they're falling, I punch their face, causing them to blackout. Then using my fan, I slap one hard as they fall. But there are so many and it's getting harder and harder to fight.

I breathe heavily. Damn snakes are way tougher than humans. Take up all my damn strength to defeat one.

I may be able to take down an army by myself but I mean human armies. Not snake armies.

Jay finally comes in to help but, it's no use. There are too many. We're outnumbered.

"I've never fought little people before. We're toast!" Kai freaks out. Luckily though, Zane and Cole arrive to help us just in time.

I smile brightly. "Good timing guys!"

"Anyone order a little kick butt?!" Cole shouts out in front of the cave, echoing the word "butt" only.

I sigh mentally, hearing Jay laugh.

That's when Pythor comes slithering out of the tom quickly, scaring Cole and Jay. "Boo!"

"Aah!"

Has he always been there before?! Was he just hearing Jay be an idiot!?

My eyes widen seeing the large snake again. "Zane! Play the flute now!"

The white ninja starts playing the flute, suddenly, however, Pythor quickly slithers to Zane, swiping it away from him.

"Oh, let's not let music ruin things, hmm?" Pythor chuckles evilly.

I glare at the snake, "Give the flute back or I'll break another tooth!"

"Woah, you did that kid? That's pretty amazing," Cole says proudly.

The purple snake snarls, gaining our attention again. "Oh, you'll regret that child."

But, before the snake gets anywhere close to me, we are surrounded by more Venomari snakes. We jump onto a nearby log that slowly drifts away in the toxic water. I gulp nervously, realizing what we've just done.

"I've got a sinking feeling this may be the last I see of you four." Pythor chuckles.

"If we survive this Pythor, I'm going to break your other tooth!"

He snarls at me angrily as I glare back at him.

"That's it. I used to hate dragons, but now I officially hate snakes," Cole angrily says, holding me close.

"Wait, do you see that? A magic floating rope. We can climb to safety." Kai starts walking off the log, thinking he sees a floating rope.

Jay pulls back Kai from falling into the toxic water. "Boy, that Venomari Venom is some powerful stuff."

I hear the Venomari laugh evilly as I glare at them. "If I survive this, I'm going to beat you all up! Then take a shower after because gross!"

Zane holds our hands. "For whatever it is worth, it was an honor to fight beside you all."

"Me too," Cole says confidently.

"Yeah, ditto," Jay also says.

"I love you guys, even if you're all annoying."

That's when a rope dangles in front of us as we're all surprised by it. It's real?!

Kai smiles. "The magic rope. Ha."

"Quick! Everyone, climb over!" Jay shouts out as one by one, we jump onto it. Cole helps me onto the rope as we all swing over to the nice, solid ground.

But, before we manage to do any more fighting, a giant Samurai shows up, knocking away the snakes around us.

Pythor's eyes widen, seeing the giant Samurai. "Oh, dear."

It speaks. "Pythor target confirmed. Time to bag and tag."

Who is that?...

The Samurai shoots out a dart from their hand as Pythor quickly slithers away in terror but not before it hits him in his... lower back area making the snake yelp in pain.

I start laughing loudly. He so deserved that! Whoever this person is, they are amazing!

We all walk up to the Samurai, admiring the giant Samurai. Strange though. Why is there a Samurai now? They haven't been around for a long time.

"Who are you?" Cole asks.

Jay is just mesmerized by them. "How about the coolest thing I've ever seen?!"

"Santa?" Kai says, still under the influence of the venom.

I stare at the large Samurai, studying every part of it. Every part is a machine... I wonder who built this... And why they are helping us?... They really modernized Samurais...

Zane is the first to actually talk to them. "Thank you, mysterious warrior. I owe you my life for saving—" Suddenly the Samurai sprays Zane with some sort of gas making the white ninja to pass out.

"Zane!" I shout in horror.

Not good Samurai! Not good at all!

"Now that wasn't nice," Jay says before the Samurai sprays us all with the knock-out gas. I try to hold my breath, but it's no use. I can feel myself slowly passing out. I look at the Samurai before darkness completely takes over.

~

We're on the Bounty, sitting at the dinner table, talking about the mission and most importantly: The Samurai.

Jay is explaining the mission to the three, "So then, just when we were gonna bite it, this huge mechanical robot-"

"Samurai. It was Samurai," Zane corrects him.

"A very modern Samurai."

"A Sama-what?" Lloyd asks, passing out the food.

"Samurai. Highest level of warrior class. They would protect nobility and serve with honor on the battlefield," Sensei Wu answers his nephew.

Kai then interrupts him.

"He was a hundred feet high, with weapons coming out every part of him!" He looks at Sensei Wu before whispering to Cole, "Look at Sensei's beard. It's moving like snakes!"

Nya groans in annoyance. "When is this Venomari spit supposed to wear off? It's starting to get annoying."

"It's been a few hours so I'm sure any minute now, " I say to Nya. "But yeah, it's getting annoying."

Cole sighs, shaking his head. "Okay, don't let this mysterious Samurai cloud what's really important. All the Serpentine are out, and if Pythor can unite them, the legend states some Great Devourer is gonna consume the land and—"

"Great Devour-er?" Nya asks confused.

Great Devourer?... It seems familiar for some reason...

"Whatever it is, it's a can of worms I don't wanna see open."

Lloyd groans in regret as he sits down next to me. "Ugh, it's all my fault. If I hadn't opened the first hatch, none of this would've happened."

I rub his back, giving him a smile, letting him know everything will be alright.

"We cannot change the past, but we can affect the future. At least we have the Sacred Flute in our possession, so—" Sensei's interrupted by Jay.

I forgot. Damn it!

"Yeah, ahem. About that.."

"Pythor sort of stole it," Zane sheepishly says.

I look down at my food, pretending I'm not a part of the conversation. I don't want to be yelled at by Sensei Wu today.

He's shocked and I don't blame him. "The last Sacred Flute gone?!" He sighs in disappointment. "You five are Ninjago's last hope."

I sigh knowing it's true. Man, we're not ready to protect Ninjago. Why did Destiny put us in charge damn it!?

Suddenly, I'm snapped from my thoughts by the alarm going off.

Snakes were spotted.

Damn it.

We all quickly run to the bridge, seeing the map on red alert. And on it, there are multiple dots everywhere. Snakes. Gross.

"Cold vision must have caught something. That means the Serpentine are near," Nya says, typing stuff into the computer. I try to make sense of it all but technology isn't my thing.

Cole looks at the map noticing it's the major city. "Ninjago City?"

"How many are there?" Jay asks.

Kai rubs his eyes, trying to focus on the map. "Looks like all of them."

Zane analyzes the map. "Pythor must be trying to unite them."

"The big city... woah..."

"Go. We mustn't let the five tribes unite," Sensei Wu says urgently.

We all nod, shout out, "Ninja, go!"

We all run onto the deck of the ship and Spinjitzu into our gis. I look over at Zane, seeing his gi still pink. I giggle at him as he sighs. "I must get this taken care of."

Kai tries to Spinjitzu into his gi but loses focus because of the venom and falls to the ground rather roughly. "Whoa!"

Jay helps him up. "Don't worry. It'll wear off soon. For now, you're coming with me."

"Guess I'm going with you Cole heh," I say smiling.

Cole nods as he pats my head.

~

We skydive off of the Bounty as the three ninjas summon their vehicles. We all scream in joy skydiving except for Kai who's just screaming.

"This is amazing!" I smile brightly, feeling great as we fall to the ground.

Cole smiles at my cheering. "Ah. I love the smell of land hurtling towards you in the middle of the night."

We finally land on the ground safely as the vehicles disappear, landing in an alleyway. We walk out of it seeing the bright lights of the large city.

"Whoa," We all say mesmerized by everything.

"Ninjago City..." Kai was mesmerized by everything, no longer under the effects of the Venom but under a new venom. Astonishment. Everyone was under that venom right now.

"Amazing." Zane smiles.

"Always heard stories of this place," Cole says, staring at all the billboards.

Jay smiles at it, still not believing he's here. "Biggest city in all of Ninjago. Always wanted to come here."

"This place is huge! I remember when this place was so tiny..."

All the boys turn to me. Zane then asks, "You remember when it was tiny?..."

Huh?... Why did I say that?... This is my first time coming here... Right?... "I uh meant that this place is huge, bigger than any village I've been to heh."
