《Ninjago: the Daughter of the Overlord》Chapter 59: Game Over
Advertisement
P.I.X.A.L. runs towards Zane and attempts to unplug him from the Manifestation Gate. Jay enters Ninjago through the gate on Dragon Aria.
Jay sees them "Zane! P.I.X.A.L.!"
Aria lands and Jay gets off, he and P.I.X.A.L. pull the cord off Zane. Zane lies on the ground, motionless. Aria turns back to her human form.
"Zane! Zane, please say something" P.I.X.A.L shouts
Zane wakes up, gasping.
"Oh! You had us scared, buddy" Jay helps Zane up
"What happened? Where are the others?" Zane asks
"They got turned into Energy Cubes" Aria tells them, a man and Wu gasp
"But it's okay, because we're gonna get them all back" Jay quickly explains
"Yeah all we have to do is A: find Milton Dyer, B: find Unagami, C: get them to work out their issues, D: convince Unagami to turn all the Energy Cubes back into people, and E...um, I don't think there is an E. I think that's it" Jay explains
P.I.X.A.L points to the man "We found Dyer"
"And I will do whatever I can to help" Dyer says
"Are you certain Unagami can be reasoned with?" Wu questions
Jay nods "I don't think-"
"He just needs to talk to Dyer" Aria interrupts
Milton Dyer sighs "This is all my fault. Vast Industries forced me to shut the game down, and I did it! I didn't understand what I had created. I didn't know he was alive"
"Oh, he's alive, all right, and he's a little ticked off" Jay says
"If only I could talk to him! A-a-and explain!" Dyer shouts
"Okay, this is starting to sound like a plan. You guys get to the top of Borg Tower, I'll get Unagami there" Jay instructs "ready Aria?"
Aria turns into a dragon and Jay climbs ontop. Jay leaves and the rest do the same. Jay looks around the city for Unagami

Jay sees an explosion nearby "Found you! Aria over there!"
Citizens panic and run as the Empire Dragon lands and roars. The Empire Dragon blasts a laser beam. He searches for Milton Dyer, while Red Visors spawn beside him. The Mechanic's henchmen drive a noodle truck front of the dragon and make a sudden stop. The Empire Dragon looks at them and roars. Jay and Aria swoop in and smashes the Empire Dragon against a building. He blasts a laser beam at Jay but misses, hitting a nearby car.
"I-I guess that got your attention" Jay says, they start flying upwards and the Empire Dragon follows, blasting a building as he catches up.
"That's it. Keep following us" Jay says, he looks back and loses sight of the Empire Dragon "What?!"
The Empire Dragon rams into Aria and they crash. The Empire Dragon pins Aria against a building.
"No Aria! Your knights will blame us if you're hurt!" Jay blasts the Empire Dragon with Lightning "Huh, powers are back! That felt good!"
The dragon roars at Jay and blasts a laser beam at him, missing. Jay and Aria fly upwards once again, and the Empire Dragon follows.
Citizens run away as Zane, P.I.X.A.L., Wu and Dyer are running toward Borg Tower. Red Visors shoot at the four of them. Zane freezes the Visors using Ice. P.I.X.A.L., Wu, and Zane continue forward, while Dyer looks at the frozen Red Visors.
Dyer catches up with the others. Richie and Ritchie corner two citizens. Okino kicks them both onto the ground. He bows to the two citizens. The two citizens smile and run off. Dyer, P.I.X.A.L., Zane, and Wu spot Jay and Aria leading the Empire Dragon.
"There's Aria and Jay!" P.I.X.A.L shouts
"They're almost at the tower. Hurry!" Zane shouts

Ritchie blocks the group's path with his Quad Bike. He laughs and throws a bomb at them, missing. Ritchie attempts to drive off, but Zane and P.I.X.A.L. kick a lamp post over, blocking Ritchie's path. Zane grabs his arm pulls him out of the vehicle.
The group get onto the Quad Bike and drive off. They make it inside of Borg Tower. They get off the Quad Bike and enter an elevator.
Aria and Jay lead the Empire Dragon to the top of Borg Tower. The Empire Dragon fires a laser beam at Jay, missing and hitting the tower. Jay flies up the tower, but loses sight of the Empire Dragon. The dragon suddenly appears in front of him.
"Whoa!" Jay shouts "Aria look out!"
The Empire Dragon blasts a laser beam at Aria, causing her to crash at the top of Borg Tower and Jay falls.
"No, no, no!" Jay shouts worriedly "Aria!"
Aria turns into her human form unconscious.
"Yes level 35!" Aria cheers
"Young player, I have been watching you"
"Who's there?" Aria looks around
"I am Unagami" the voice replies
"Unagami? The boss?" Aria questions "What do you want with me?"
"I wish for your help" Unagami tells her
"Help with what?" Aria asks
"I wish to escape this realm and confront my maker" Unagami replies "he's abandoned me and I wish for him to feel the same pain"
"You want revenge, on someone who's hurt you" Aria says
"Player, will you join me?" Unagami asks
Aria nods "I will"
"This is a surprising answer.." Unagami says "may I ask why you have agreed?"
"The feeling of revenge" Aria looks up "is a feeling I know well"
Aria opens her eyes, Jay is holding her. She looks over to see Unagami talking to Dyer.
"Why was I made?" Unagami asks
"To instill joy and happiness" Dyer replies
Unagami's form glitches, his form turns into that of a child "But you abandoned me"
"Jay" Aria speaks sounding a bit annoyed "I'm thankful that you were watching over me while I was unconscious.. but can you put me down"
"Huh oh sorry" Jay places her on her feet "I didn't know you were awake"
Aria looks over as power is released throughout the city. The Red visors power down. The doors to The Mechanic's Warehouse open. Players trapped in Prime Empire have been released, alongside other NPCs.
Wu, Jay, Zane, and P.I.X.A.L. walk toward the rest of the Ninja.
"Jay!" Nya shouts happily
Jay runs to Nya, and spins her around. He gives her a kiss on the cheek
"Aria!" Lloyd shouts and runs over to her, but he stops himself from touching her when he sees her guards nearby "uh sorry, your highness are you ok?"
"I'm fine" Aria replies "Just doing my job as Empress and protecting Ninjago"
Kai looks at the two "So what happened? Did we get the Key-Tana? Did we win?"
Jay sighs "It's a long story"
The Whack Rats and the Red Visors return to Prime Empire. The Manifestation Gate turns off.
"Where's Unagami?" Cole asks
"He's where he belongs" Jay replies happily
"Your highness" Kaname approaches
"Hehe" Aria looks at him nervously "Hello Kaname"
"You escaped your royal duties by going into a video game" Kaname says in a disproving tone "while the danger has passed it is time to get to work"
"Oh boo" Aria sulks
"Don't worry your majesty" Lloyd smiles "us ninja will help with repairs of the city so don't worry about that, just get your other work done"
"Right" Aria smiles
Kanams leads Aria away from the ninja as they group together and look over the city. Once they were a good distance away Aria dropped her smile and looked at Kaname.
"Has the trip been arranged?" Aria asks
"Yes your highness" Kaname replies "you and Hanabusa will depart tomorrow"
Aria nods "excellent"

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.
