The rough rain hits itself again the Bounty, rocking the flying ship. It's incredible that Nya is able to keep the ship from falling out of the sky. Though, that doesn't mean the furniture and other items aren't being slammed against the walls. I, too, am also being slammed against said walls. It's not fun.

I'm going to wake up with so many bruises tomorrow.

I barely make it to the dining room as Cole rushes in right after me. I shut the door shut as I breathe heavily and stare at the rest of my brothers. "It's so awful outside! I can barely stand up straight without being slammed against the wall."

"I hate being air sick..." Cole says, trying not to hold back his vomit.

"Heh, I get it. Airsick instead of seasick," Jay says as he eats his sandwich.

Cole's face immediately turns green. "Please no more food. Just how much longer until we get there? This storm sucks!"

We just simply shrug when Jay decides to respond. "Not long. Though, Cole, you're looking a little green over there. How'd you like a mucus salt sandwich?"

Jay, why would you say that?!

Cole quickly runs out of the dining room and to the deck to vomit, even if there is a storm outside.

At least he's getting it out of his system.

"Really?"

"Eh, it was funny. Speaking of green, who would've guessed little turned out to be the Green Ninja?"

"I thought it would at least be someone else. Though I do feel bad that he is becoming this destined ninja, he's barely going to get to be a kid."

"I know. But he's grown ever since the first time we met him. He was such a brat at first. And now, he's actually trying to stop his father. You're just a kid yourself you know. Even though technically you aren't. You still deserve one. After all, Kai did-"

Kai quickly interrupts Zane. "Where is that little runt?"

I shake my head and sigh. "I'll go find him. I am hoping Nya can keep this ship stable enough for me to get to wherever he is."

Lloyd looks at the punching bag in front of him, and for some reason, speaking in a western accent. "Serpentine, it's time spinjitzu you back into the filthy holes you came from."

He runs over to it attacking it with all of his might. "Ninja kick! Tiger claw! Ninja, go!"

He tries to do Spinjitzu but halfway through, he trips on his leg pant undoing itself, and face plants onto the ground.

"Ugh... I really need Y/n to train me more."

Suddenly, a familiar laugh gains his attention.

"What a joke. You were always a boy who chased stupid dreams," Pythor says mockingly appearing in front of Lloyd.

The young boy's eyes widen as he quickly turns around to face him. "P-Pythor! How did you get aboard?!"

He tries to move away from him but the purple snake picks him up. "You think I would allow the ninja to steal the Fangblades from me? Especially that brat of a girl Y/n?"

Pythor pins him to the punching bag and tries Lloyd's hands behind it. "Ugh! You'll never get away with it! Hey—"

Before Lloyd gets to say anything, his mouth gets taped shut. Pythor smirks and slithers towards the exit. "Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. As they say, out of sight-"

His ear twitches and looks out the window on the door, seeing me walk towards the training room. "Seems like I'll be getting my wish come true."

Lloyd's eyes widen seeing him disappear. No... He's going to ambush her! Y/n!

~

I walk into the training room, rubbing my arm, trying to soothe the pain after being slammed against a table. "Lloyd, where are you? I know you like tr-"

My eyes land on the blonde tied and gagged to the punching bag. My eyes widen in terror.

"Lloyd?!"

He tries to yell out something but, before I know it, I'm hit with something hard and knocked to the ground. "Gah!"

Lloyd screams out in horror but is muffled out thanks to the gag but he struggles against his restraints.

My head pounds in pain but I hear a far too familiar laugh. I turn to the evil snake, seeing him hold one of the training cutouts. "Pythor."

He throws it away, smiling evilly. "Well, well. If it isn't my favorite ninja! I believe we barely talked the last time you all visited."

"And I believe I didn't break your other fang yet."

We glare at each other.

I slowly stand up and get into my stance, taking out my other fan and aiming them at him. Tsk. No way am I going to let him win here. We're too close to stopping him.

"You're going down Pythor."

I quickly throw one of my fans at him before running over to him. He immediately dodges but gets hit in the face by my other fan. Before he gets the opportunity to attack, I quickly kick him in the stomach and land on his tail.

He yelps in pain as he pulls his tail away from underneath me causing me to fall onto the floor.

"Ow!"

I try to reach one of my fans but I get lifted up by my feet by Pythor's tail. "Put me down right now!"

Pythor laughs. "You are just a child! You never could defeat me. I'll just leave you here with your beloved Lloyd. Maybe I should just ea-"

A good swift punch in the face stops him from talking, causing him to drop me. I land almost gracefully and lunge at him. I manage to grab one of my fans and as I'm about to throw another attack, the ship suddenly jerks sideways.

I suddenly lose my balance and slammed against the wall, knocking the wind out of me. "Gah!"

Lloyd's eyes widen as he screams behind his gag as the punching bag swings around roughly.

Pythor smirks, keeping his balance. "Good thing I planted that small device. That means the Fangblades are unprotected. Have fun."

He bows. "Au Revoir!" He leaves out of the room, as the ship continues to become more and more unstable.

I cough as I rub my head. "He really does annoy me..."

Lloyd's muffled screams snaps my attention to him. "Lloyd!"

I somehow manage to climb my way to Lloyd and untie him from the punching bag. Before he falls to the wall, I catch him and grab him by his arm. "Hurry to the speaker!"

Using all my strength, I push him towards the ceiling as he quickly climbs his way to it. He manages to hang onto the door and slams on the speaker's button. "Pythor's on board!"

The blonde's voice can be heard throughout the ship, alerting everyone on board.

Lloyd turns to me seeing me hang onto the punching bag tightly. "What about you?!"

"Go help the ninja! I'm gonna try to make this ship go back to normal!"

"How?!"

"I don't know! Magic?! I'll figure it out! Just go!"

He hesitates before nodding and climbing his way to the door. His footsteps quickly disappear the more he approaches the deck.

"Alright, Y/n. You can do this! Just use your powers that everyone thinks you have but you know you don't! Right?!"

I sigh.

"...If I really do have powers, then it's best I use them now. Only one way to figure out then."

I look at the ground below me, well the wall, as I make my decision. My hands let go of the punching bag as silence completely consumes me and I close my eyes. Old memories fill my mind as they replay on repeat over and over again. Memories of my so-called past life. A tingling sensation begins to form in my stomach and it spreads throughout my body.

My eyes slowly open and I slowly realize that I'm no longer falling but floating in midair. "Huh?..."

A glowing purple hand catches my attention, noticing that it starts spreading across my body. But, for some reason, it feels safe. So I let it keep going. And the second it reaches my eyes, a purple aura surrounds the Bounty.

The control settings seem to magically fit themselves as the flying ship returns back to its normal position. I slowly float down to the ground as the purple glow fades from my body and the ship.

Thoughts race through my head, but the only one I get to hear clearly enough is that 'I did it.'

~

Pythor laughs at the ninja, seeing them hang onto the bounty for dear life. He clutches the Fangblades close to his chest and smirks. "Sorry if I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole Devourer thing going on. Toodaloo!"

He laughs once more, but the second he turns away, he's the young Lloyd standing in front of him, holding a Bo staff.

Lloyd glares at him, getting ready to attack. "Where do you think you're going?"

"Ah. A little cliché, don't you think?" Pythor asks while eye-rolling.

The blonde straightens up, looking at the snake in confusion. "Uh, cliché?"

"I wouldn't expect a child to understand."

"Hey, I've grown up a lot! I'll show you!" He goes to attack him but Pythor easily dodges him.

This repeats multiple times.

"Hm, puny strength, no fundamentals, sloppy footwork. Do you think you can defeat me?" Pythor laughs, seeing Lloyd stumble back a bit.

The boy simply smirks behind his mask. "I'm not trying to defeat you. I'm just trying to keep you busy until the cavalry arrives."

On cue, Nya lands down on the ship wearing her Samurai X suit and battle mech. Pythor's eyes widen, screaming in terror. Lloyd takes the opportunity to kick Pythor in the face, chipping his already broken tooth. "Haha, I hit him. I hit him, guys! I guess those lessons with Y/n really do work!"

Pythor's eyes widen as he holds his face, glaring at the young boy. "Tsk, you are just as annoying as her! But, as much as I would like to play with your overgrown toys, I have a ride to catch!"

He quickly slithers around Nya, using the large mech to his advantage before pushing Lloyd away and jumping off the Bounty. Somehow, he knew a plane would be there to catch him, managing to escape.

"No!"

"So long, suckers!"

I quickly run out onto the deck, run over to the railings, and throw one of my fans at him. It hits his stomach rather harshly as it bounces back, fluxing back to me and I manage to catch it. "Heh, at least I managed to hit him before he fully escaped."

"You're okay!" Lloyd shouts out in surprise and relief.

"Luckily, but now our family needs us now."

I quickly run over to the other side of the deck and grab Kai's legs, trying to pull them up. "Y/n!"

"D-Don't celebrate yet! You guys are heavy!"

"Don't let go!" Jay shouts out.

Kai glares at him. "You think she doesn't know that?!"

Lloyd grabs onto my waist, trying to help me pull them up, but it's no use. They're too heavy even for both of us.

My grip starts slipping and I try to hold onto the railing. "You're slipping!"

Kai's eyes widen, knowing that they might fall but doesn't want us to fall in either. He tries his best to help us out but it's not us.

Kai's legs slip out of my arms and causing all of my brothers, including Sensei Wi to start falling into the active volcano.

Lloyd's and I's eyes widen in horror.

"No!" I manage to scream

I try to reach out to them but it's too late.

Their screams pierce through the sky, and it's almost as if everything went into slow motion. Their terror-filled faces stare back at me as I try to reach out to them as Lloyd holds me back.

Suddenly, though, a gust of wind pushes past me and my brother's screams of terrors are replaced by cheers. When I blink, I suddenly realize what's going on.

Nya managed to save everyone in time.

"Gotcha!" Nya shouts in relief.

Jay smiles brightly, looking up at the love of his life. "I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you."

"Feel the same. Come on, he's getting away."

Jay spots Pythor's plane flying away. "Look, there! If we follow that path that he's going through, we're bound to catch up!"

~

I tie my hair into a ponytail as I stand next to Cole and Kai. We're trying to figure out a plan to stop Pythor before he brings the Flangblades to Ouroboros. Luckily, Lloyd brings in all of my brother's golden weapons. I pull them out of the case and I hold them all, handing each one to the ninja.

"If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer," Sensei says, getting onto Nya's mech.

Luckily, she built a seat on her mech so Sensei could join us on more adventures.

"Well, we're not gonna let that happen," Nya responds determinedly.

Jay looks at his weapon and then looks over at me. "I still don't understand how you can grab all of these weapons without disappearing like Samukai."

"I don't know, but I rather not think about it right now. I just have a feeling that it must be because of Sann. I- yeah." I say with a sigh.

Zane pats my head, trying to comfort me.

"Thanks, Zane," I say to him with a smile.

All five of us ninjas look at each other as we nod, pulling down our masks.

Lloyd notices us getting ready for the upcoming battle and turns to us with hopeful eyes. "Oh, what about me?"

"We need someone to stay with the Bounty," Kai says, trying to convince him to stay.

"But did you see me kick him in the face? I'm an asset. I kick butt. And face. Y/n taught me well!"

I smile softly at him. "Sorry Lloyd, but you have to stay safe. We can't risk losing you. But I'm glad those fighting lessons worked!"

Kai pats his head. "Patience, kid. You're too important now that you're the chosen one. Y/n, maybe it's best you stay here as well, to keep him safe."

I look at Kai with a glare. "If you think I'm going to stay behind then you are mistaken. Remember, I trained you all. And if it's because you think I'm a child, think again. I am living a very complicated life that I don't understand myself entirely yet."

Everyone stays quiet for a few seconds before the red ninja speaks up again. "Like I was saying, Y/n you can ride with Jay!"

Jay tries to object, not wanting to deal with the angry child, but he sighs before smiling. Although he's scared of me, he does care. What do you say we play a little catch-up?"

"It's my favorite game," Cole says smiling.

"Ninja, go!"

"Stay safe Lloyd!" is the last thing I manage to say to Lloyd as we all run to the railing of the ship. Our feet leave the deck as we jump off of the Bounty and start diving toward the ground. I hold onto Jay as his vehicle forms around us and eventually, his jet glides through the wind. The rest of the ninjas create their vehicles, landing safely on the ground as Nya and Sensei fly through the sky next to us on the Samurai X mech.

Eventually, we make catch up to the snakes and I spot a former tour bus now transformed into a snake bus? I don't even know what that is...

"Look at that Jay!" I shout to him.

He nods, pressing a button on his control system as it connects to the rest of the ninjas. "I've got him in my sights."

Kai's voice can be heard through the communicator. "What is that? A truck?"

"That is no truck. It is a moving fortress!" Sensei Wu exclaims.

Before we get to do anything, suddenly, the moving fortress shoots outs at us rapidly. Our eyes widen as Jay swerves the plane, trying to avoid the attacks and I slam against the glass. "Tsk, they're throwing everything at us!"

"Watch out! How are we supposed to get close to that thing? You know what? Bring it on!" Kai shouts out to everyone through the comms.

Jay tries to get in close, but it's no use as the snakes keep on shooting at us. Suddenly, an idea pops into my head.

"Jay! Open the hatch! I'm gonna climb out!"

"Are you insane?!"

"Do you want me to be?! Just open it!"

"Ugh! Fine!" He presses a button before the glass opens and I climb onto the wing of the jet. I hold onto it tightly, trying to keep my balance and make sure I don't fall off. I rather not become a pancake on the ground.

"Keep her steady Jay!"

He nods, wondering what I'm about to do. I block some of the shots and deflect others with my fans. "Y/n! You better know what you're doing!"

I carefully aim one of my fans carefully as my eyes glow purple. "Just breathe. Relax. And throw."

The wind blows against me violently, but instead of it working against me, it feels like it's trying to help. I take a small breath and throw my fan at the canon ahead of me. It slices through the wind, hitting the snake's canon directly.

The canon starts to heat up as the Snake's eyes widen in horror. "Uh oh."

He quickly jumps off of the moving fortress, abandoning the canon just before it explodes.

Jay's and I's eyes widen in happiness. "I did it! Haha!"

Everyone's cheers can be heard through the comms as Jay compliments me. "Nice one Y/n! We still need to take out the other one and that damn tail though!"

"Just try to get me closer!"

Jay nods as he moves the jet closer. Everyone else is dealing with snakes that were sent out on their motorcycles to attack them. But, they are no match against them.

The Bounty swerves uncontrollably through the sky as Lloyd tries to control it.

"AHHHHHH!" He screams in terror.

"THEY NEVER TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO THIS!"

I manage to take out the last canon, but we still can't get close enough to hop onto the fortress. The tail of it is a problem.

Nya stares at the train before an idea pops into her genius mind. "I've got an idea. Jay, follow me. Zane, try to get in close and cool him off."

Jay looks at me as I nod, getting back into the jet. Nya and he gets close to the vehicle as the tail tries to hit both of them.

In their confusion, Zane uses the split-second opportunity to get close to the bus. "Okay, I'm going in!"

Zane spinjitzu's onto fortress and smiles, knowing he just got the advantage. He runs over to the lock holding the tail to the rest of the bus and freezes it with his shurikens and shatters it. The tail detaches itself from the rest of the body, rolling away from everyone.

We all cheer, knowing we can all board the bus without worries. "All right. Nice one, Zane. Now let's board that truck!"

The rest of us move close to the vehicle as we who are using the golden weapons make the vehicles disappear, jumping onto the ship. Nya lands on the ship behind us.

Kai looks at all of us, smirking behind his mask. "Let's split up. Last one to the front is a rotten ninja."

"So this is a competition now?" I say with a smile.

Sensei's eyes fill with a competitive feeling. "Nya and I will definitely get there first."

Immediately, we all split up, fighting off any snakes that we face.

I climb into the fortress, running through the empty seats. It's quite sad actually seeing it empty but we're gonna make sure we get revenge for these people that were kicked off of their tour and make sure Ninjago is safe for another day. There's no way we're going to let Pythor win this easily. We have to win no matter what. Everyone is depending on us.

My thoughts get interrupted when some Venemori snakes stop in front of me. They hiss at me as I glare back at them. "Bring it on."

They spit their venom as I use my fans to block it and quickly run over to them. I manage to block their incoming spear attacks and kick one down. Though one manages to knock me into the seats, I manage to block a spear that is heading toward me. I block and throw my fan at a snake's head and quickly throw myself at another snake punching them in the stomach.

I get off of the snake and look at all of the unconscious snakes around me. "Sorry about that guys but I have a world to save."
