Ninjago: The Purple Ninja - Book 2

SOFS: Fire Chapter 6 - Vengeance is Mine!

"Pixal! Come in, Pixal!" Pixal runs up to the base's keypad and presses a button, allowing Nya's face to be shown on the screen.

"Nya, where are you?" Pixal asks urgently.

"I'm with Zane, Katarina and Lloyd. We have the second scroll. Repeat: We have the second scroll!" Kai, Jay, Cole, Wu and Pixal cheer triumphantly.

"Nya, tell Lloyd and Katarina to be careful with the scroll. It is very dangerous. The less they handle it, the better." Wu advises Nya. She nods while she keeps her eyes on the road.

"I understand. We'll be careful." Suddenly, banging was heard on the hangar doors, peaking Nya's curiousity and bringing further dread to Kai, Jay, Cole, Wu and Pixal. "What was that sound?"

"The structural integrity of the doors is failing. You have to hurry, Nya." Pixal urges her.

"Hold on, Pixal! We're coming!" Nya pulls the lever up to activate the Land Bounty's thrusters. Seeing the Land Bounty go faster, Zane activates the thrusters on his Shuricopter.

Lloyd, having unraveled the scroll from the banner, pops his head up and moves to sit down on the seat behind Katarina. "What is it?"

"We're running out of time. And Lloyd, Wu said to be careful with that scroll. It's dangerous." Nya warns him.

Lloyd unravels the scroll from the staff. His eyes glow green and his head goes on fire. "I'll be careful."

Katarina glances behind her. She widens her eyes at the sight of her brother being powered by the scroll. "Maybe you should wrap it up again, just to be safe—"

"I said I'll be careful!"

Katarina's and Nya's eyes widen in fear. Nya turns her head back around to face the road, while Katarina looks down. Lloyd, having realized he had scared them, shakes his head. "Nya, sis, I... I'm sorry. I-I don't know what came over me." He says, looking down at himself fearfully.

"It's the scroll, Lloyd. Put it down." Katarina says firmly, with a hint of fear in her tone. He nods and after a bit of struggling, he puts the scroll back down and covers it back up with the banner.

She looks down at her hands, then touches her left eye. She hums thoughtfully.

Jay yelps in fear when the hangar bay doors bang furiously again. Pixal was typing furiously on a console, while the others watched the doors with fear and dread. "What do we do?!" Jay cries out, shaking Kai furiously.

Cole looks around for a solution. He spots something a dozen feet in front of him. It appeared to be a vent, and it could be big enough for them to fit. " In there! Come on!" He grabs Wu's wrist, which startles the sensei, and leads him, Kai and Jay to the vent. He pulls the lid for the vent off, just as the hangar bay doors bang again.

On the other side, Aspheera smirks. "It's working. Send them all!"

"All?" Char questions her.

She slithers up real close to him and glares at him menacingly. "ALL!" He meekly nods and slithers up to all of the fire cobras.

"ALL! YOU HEARD HER! GO!" He points his staff towards the terribly dented doors. One by one, the fire cobras charge at the doors immediately on his command.

Cole and Wu hop into the vents. "Pix! C'mon!" Jay urges her.

"I just need a few more seconds." She says quickly. The doors bang again. Jay hops into the vent next.

"We're out of time!" She continues typing furiously on the console. "PIXAL!" She bites her bottom lip as she makes the last adjustment to the mech.

Suddenly, the doors blast off in a large puff of smoke and fire. Aspheera and Char slither in with their troop of Pyro Vipers. As soon as the smoke clears, her eyes widen. The base was completely void of the Ninja and Wu.
