Chapter 11

(Wu and Misako are taking a stroll.)

Wu: (Sighs.) Oh, Misako. All the time we have known each other...

Misako: Someone wise once said "We do not go forward by looking back."

Wu: When did I say that?

Misako: Never. I did. (They both share a laugh but hear screaming. The Vermillion Army and the Time Twins approach them.)

Wu: Stay by my side, Misako. Misako? (He looks next to him but Misako disintegrates. Wu suddenly hears Morro's voice.)

Morro: Wu wake up, you have to wake up!

(Wu wakes up, revealing it to be a dream. Morro was sitting by his bed watching over him.)

Wu: Misako! At my side.

Misako: Of course. As I always will be. And as you always will be for me. What is it, Wu?

Wu: I haven't told anyone, but when I fought Acronix at the monastery, something...happened. Something bad.

'''

(Nya looks after Zane in the Samurai X Cave.)

Nya: This is bad. I told everyone to go back to the Airjitzu Temple while I got you back online and still nothing. All I got left is trying a total system reboot. (Zane twitches and stands up.)

Zane: Nya!

Nya: Oh, I'm so glad you're—

Zane: (He walks away from his table.) That potato was a flange 41-823. A narwhal horn is too red as weather is greater than pudding. Fifty sheet auto doc feeder!

Nya: (She brings Zane back to the table.) Okay, Zane. Take it easy. That's it.

Zane: Banana curtain nine.

Nya: Oh, come on! I've tried everything. What is going on in there?

P.I.X.A.L.: What is going on is I'm trying to unscramble Zane's neural pathways so we can go rescue Cyrus Borg. And you haven't tried everything. You need to realign Zane's neural inputs. Can you hear me? Hello—

Zane: Hello? Hot dog rainy day in seven.

Nya: Okay, maybe what you need is...

P.I.X.A.L.: Don't say a new binary power core.

Nya: ...a new binary power core! I'll be right back.

P.I.X.A.L.: Wait, no! Don't leave!

Zane: Plate! Show! Clipboard!

'''

(Wu finishes explaining his fight.)

Wu: And at the monastery, Acronix hit me with what he called the "Time Punch." Now I'm rapidly aging. I would estimate one day every hour. The effect is accelerating and will continue to do so until—

Lloyd: (In another room) Master Wu?

Wu: Say nothing. The ninja must not be distracted at this crucial time.

Misako: They might be able to help you.

Lloyd: (Knocks.) May I enter?

Wu: My fate is inevitable, Misako. Like the sun rising in the east, like fall turning into winter...

Misako: Wu—

Lloyd: (Coming in) Master Wu?

Wu: (He gasps and whispers.) You must keep my secret. (Misako nods.)

Lloyd: How is he?

Misako: Still recovering.

Wu: So little time, so many lessons! Fight with your back to the sun. Eight cups of water a day is a myth. You should have been there when I fought Acronix. But I-I—

Morro: Wu, calm down. Even so we wouldn't have won. We didn't know the Time Blade would reappear. Please, calm down. What if's are myths. What happened, happened. We can't change that. Even if we want to.

(Morro watches Wu fall back asleep and leaves the room by phasing through the wall.)

Lloyd: He's right. I should have been at his side. I failed my Master. I will not make that mistake again.

'''

(Kai fights sparring bots while Jay and Cole train together.)

Cole: Zane is down. Folks disappearing all over town, and we can't do a thing to help! If we just knew why Acronix and Krux are taking people

Jay: You know, my theory—

Cole: For the last time, they are not hostages.

Jay: How can you be sure?

Cole: No ransom note.

Jay: Maybe they're gonna hypnotize them into being an army?

Cole: Krux and Acronix already have an army. Of Samurai snakes.

Jay: Well, you know my other theories—

Cole: Do not say alien abductions again, or dimensional rifts, or elven magic portals! (He uses his Earth Punch on Jay, hurling him in the air.) Sorry. It's just...I'm tired of speculating. We need to take action! Right, Kai? Kai? You okay? You haven't been the same since you squared off against Krux. Did...did he do something?

Kai: More like said something. No, Nothing. I'm fine.

Morro: If you want we can spar? You seem to need it. (Morro slams his fist in his hand and cracks his neck.)

Kai: Sure. But no ghost-tricks like last time.

Morro: Me, ghost tricks? I would never!! (Kai throws Morro a deepstone bracelet.) Really? (Morro puts it on)

Kai: I don't trust your word, Shortie. (Morro looks at him at that name. Like 'You did not just call me that')

Morro: You're gonna pay for that. (Morro charges at Kai and they start sparring.)

(Morro being 5,6 feet, a little shorter than Jay and Lloyd, has trouble throwing Kai, who was 6,2 feet, over his shoulder, so when he tries, they both fall and call it a tie. The four ninja laugh.)

Cole: Good, 'cause I was just saying it's time to stop guessing and to start fighting!

Kai: So you're saying we capture one of those snake guys and bring them back here for Wu to question?

Cole: I just want to fight somebody. But okay, we could do that too.

Lloyd: That plan won't work.

Kai: Why not?

Lloyd: Because Master Wu still hasn't recovered from his battle with Acronix. He rambles. He passes out. I think he's a lot more hurt than he lets on.

Kai: Oh, great! All this and now we have no leader, either?

Lloyd: Uh, that's not exactly true. Ahem! With Wu out of commission, the, um...logical successor would be, uh...

Cole: The Green Ninja.

Lloyd: Correct.

Cole: Uh, Master Lloyd?

Kai: "Temporary Master Lloyd," you mean.

Jay: "...in Training."

Cole: Okay, Temporary Master Lloyd in Training, we mere ninja await your words of wisdom. Which I assume involve kicking some butt till we get a few answers. Right?Morro: I'm in. (The ninja cheered and ran past him.)

Lloyd: Wrong. Too random. We need a plan.

Kai: We have one. Go kick some butt.

Lloyd: Really? Whose butt? Where?

Kai: We'll work it out down there.

Morro: Does that even matter?

Lloyd: Morro out of all people, how can you not find a plan important?

Morro: What do you mean? I never make a plan.

Cole: What?

Morro: What? you thought I had a plan when I was a villain

Jay: Well, yeah. (Morro starts laughing)

Morro: Really my plan was, Get to Ninjago, get the staff, follow the clues, Get the Crystal and free Her. I didn't know I would get so much trouble. Everything that happened in the fights was not meant. I mean I did tell you every single time to cooperate before things would get nasty.

Kai: Well in that case, lets go kick some butts. (The four ninja high five.)

Lloyd: No. We'll work it out here first. That's what Wu would do. Come on!

Kai: Oh, yay, I just love sitting around and talking instead of doing.

Cole: Cut him some slack, guys. He's doing the best he can.

'''

(Meanwhile, all the metal in Ninjago are disappearing.)

Garbage Man: Huh? (He tries to look for his trash can lid. He turns around and sees the trash can is gone.) Aw, come on. Jimmy! You ain't gonna believe—(His truck disappears.) Jimmy?

(A citizen calls another person on his phone.)

Man #1: Hey, hey! Just calling to tell you that I'm walking to the coffee shop now! (It is revealed they are walking next to each other.)

Man #2: Cool! I'll see you there! (The cell tower is gone.)

Man #1: Hello? Hello? Hm, no bars. What's going on?

Man #2: Can you hear me now? Now? Aah!

Man #1: The cell tower is down! (Everyone screams.)

'''

(Dareth looks at his trophy shelf, but there aren't any trophies.)

Dareth: Aah! My trophies! Why would someone steal them? Why? Why!?

'''

(Raggmunk and Blunck watches over Ninjago.)

Raggmunk: Yes! Soon we will have all the metal we need courtesy of the Vermillion warriors.

Blunck: Really?

Raggmunk: What?

Blunck: All the metal? Like, that's it? Finito?

Raggmunk: Yeah, why?

Blunck: Nothing. Nothing. It's...fine. Acronix and Krux signed off on it?

Raggmunk: Oh, who cares? Now let me concentrate! Increase Operation Heavy Metal!

Blunck: Really? That's the name you're—

Raggmunk: Oh, it doesn't matter!

'''

(Dareth screams as he made his way to Ronin's shop.)

Dareth: Someone stole my trophies!

Ronin: I have an alibi! Wait. Why would anyone steal your fake trophies?

Dareth: I know! They were irreplaceable. Which is why I'm here to buy replacements.

Ronin: You want world championships this time or just intercontinental?

Dareth: Uh, um, let's mix and match.

Ronin: One sec. (He went to get a trophy but saw two Vermillion rummaging in his shop.)

Dareth: Uh, they're not with me.

Ronin: Fellas, we have a very strict store policy against shoplifting. (Dareth sees more Vermillion outside.)

Dareth: Hey, those are my trophies! Give them back! (He tries to take them, but Ronin used his Salvage M.E.C. and escaped with him.)

'''

(Lloyd tries to explain his plan, but was Jay kept interrupting him.)

Lloyd: So I think we can safely rule out—(Jay slurps his drink but stops when Lloyd turns around) these places as hiding spots for the missing people. (He does it again.) These are too small. These are to public. And these are too obvious. (Jay slurps his drink again.)

Jay: Or are they so obvious that they're actually the perfect hiding spot?

Lloyd: Hm. Interesting. (Jay slurps again.)

Morro: What's also possible is that they are around their weakness, believe me, last place people look. (Jay slurps again and Morro glares at Jay.)

Cole: What are you doing?

Jay: (Whispering) I'm bored. So I'm messing with him.

Kai: But now Lloyd's starting over! He's gonna take even longer. (Jay sighs and Ronin and Dareth comes in.)

Ronin: Sorry to interrupt what looks to be the most boring party game ever, but the city's under attack down there.

Jay, Morro, Cole, and Kai: Yes!

Jay: Oh, I mean, that's horrible.

Kai: Terrible.

Cole: The worst.

Morro: Never mind

Ronin: There's a bunch of Samurai and snakes stealing every piece of metal they can find.

Dareth: They took my trophies. My trophies!

Cole: Any sign of Krux or Acronix?

Ronin: Who?

Cole: Doesn't matter. Let's go!

Lloyd: W-wait. This doesn't make sense. Why are they after metal?

Jay: We can ask as we pummel them.

Lloyd: No. It might be a diversion to draw us away from the Temple so they can finish off Master Wu.

Morro: Lloyd, believe as I say I don't want to make your mom angry, Wu is safe here.

Cole: Plus, we can't just ignore the damage they're doing.

Dareth: Nor that they have my trophies.

Lloyd: I'm not leaving Master Wu unprotected again.

Kai: But we're going.

Lloyd: I'm ordering you to stay.

Kai: And we're ignoring that order.

Morro: Wanna race to the city? The last has to cook tonight. (He runs through the wall and jumps off the floating island as Kai, Jay and Cole follow him.)

Ronin: So...

Lloyd: Just go. (Everyone leaves.) Nya will have my back. (He tries to call her, but the cell tower is still down.)

'''

Nya: Okay, Zane, I—(She sees him surrounded by Vermillion.) Zane!

Zane: Nineteen! Gargle my pudding! My pudding!

Nya: Get off my friend! C'mon, Zane. Let's do this!

Zane: Executive cucumber! (He clumsily attacks them.)

Nya: Or...maybe you should sit this one out.

Zane: Fiber zinc taco! Fiber zinc taco!

P.I.X.A.L.: Brace yourself, Zane. I'm rerouting all existing power to your chest. In three, two, one.

Nya: Aw, total electrical overload! Nice move, buddy. I knew you were in there somewhere! Of course, now I have to reboot you again, but that—(She sees her Samurai gear is gone.) They stole my Samurai X Gear! (Groans.) I hate not having tines on the ride, but the USB port is the only way to power you back up. Those snakes stole from the wrong girl.

'''

(The Vermillion travel in the sewers.)

Acronix: All these tunnels under the city look the same, huh? Pretty confused, I'll bet.

Krux: It's a secret lair. It's supposed to be hard to find.

Acronix: Yeah, but not for us.

Krux: I'll figure it out in a second.

Acronix: Oh, get with the time, brother. My new BorgWatch has built-in GPS, the, uh...

Krux: What's wrong?

Acronix: Um...nothing. Just respecting your feelings about tradition and—

Krux: (He looks at his BorgWatch.) No service. That's why I don't get with the times. The old ways are still superior. Follow me!

Acronix: I hope things are going this well topside.

'''

(Raggmunk and Blunck watches as more metal are being stolen.)

Raggmunk: Yes! Operation Heavy Metal's so good the ninja don't even know what's up. Nothing will stop us! (They see the ninja.)

Blunck: Way to jinx it.

'''

Jay: Last one up is a rotten ninja.

Kai: Clear off as many snakes as you can!

Morro: I'll handle that. (Morro's eyes shine purple as he builds up his power to lightning and shoot that at a snake warrior, who falls on the ground, not moving back together. Jay, Cole and Kai look in awe and shock.)

Kai: How?

Morro: Old trick from when I was little.

Dareth: Wow! Total snake invasion!

Kai: (He defeats some snakes.) Why am I so good? It's a curse, really. (The snakes regenerated.) Oh, great. (He falls, but Nya catches him.) Nya, what are you doing here?

Nya: I came to warn you about the metal-stealing snakes, but it looks like you already know.

Kai: How's Zane?

Nya: He's, uh...

Zane: Avocados are not vegetables! Fifty three, eleven!

Nya: Uh, we're still working out some kinks. (The Vermillion regenerated into an even larger snake.)

Zane: Spleen sauce, cow box!

'''

Ronin: That's right, bring it on. Oh, boy. Feel free to jump in, Dareth.

Dareth: Sorry. My back's totally jacked again.

Ronin: These guys took your trophies.

Dareth: Brown Ninja vengeance! (He fights them and kicks Ronin.)

Ronin: Aah, my leg! I think you broke it!

Dareth: Gotta get more snakes!

'''

Kai: Nya, where you going?

Nya: Come on!

Kai: Jay, Cole, let's go!

Jay: So, does anyone have a plan?

Nya: Welcome to Ninjago!

'''

Blunck: No! They failed! And we haven't collected nearly enough metal yet.

Machia: No, you haven't.

Raggmunk: Uh, was she here the whole time?

Machia: Your plan didn't just have a stupid name. It was also a stupid idea. So now, it's my turn. Commence with Operation Blackout. That should buy the time you'll need to collect more metal. Assuming you don't mess that up as you did this.

Blunck: Operation Blackout. Good name.


Well that was it for now, I'm getting a bit bored of this season so I will write it less detailed. But I will finish the book completely. complete season.

Then all I have to say is

Have a good time
