Chapter 49: The Curse of the Golden Master

Start from the beginning
                                    

-The Stranger, Lady and Overlord-

In the Borg Industries Bowels, the Stranger and the Lady are planning ways to find power for the Nindroids.

"We know where the Golden Ninja is, so why are we doing nothing about it? I must escape this wretched digital prison!" The Overlord Yelled

"Patience. The Golden and Magic Ninja won't go down without a fight, and we've already depleted our Black sapphire. Before we take his Golden Power, we need more power of our own.

"Then find more. Once I become physical again and rid of the scourge that is the ninja, I will walk Ninjago with the power to rule this world, and beyond!" The Overlord remarked 

The lady walked up to them "Don't worry. I'm one step ahead of you" She holds a pamphlet for the Ninjago City Museum

-Lloyd, Anna, and Garmadon-

Anna reacted to the situation by moving a tree branch from her face and picking up leaves from her hair. She expressed her frustration by saying, "This is ridiculous" to herself, and heard Lloyd say "How anyone got through this jungle is beyond me."

"Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Legend says no one has ever escaped its deadly maze except for Hiroshi himself. But the maze is no match for your powers. This is the perfect place to hide from the Overlord's clutches." Garmadon explains

"Hide. That's all we ever seem to do." Anna complains

"Your Magic and Lloyd's Golden Power only strengthens his cause. We must not lose sight." Garmadon said

"But I miss my friends. What good is being all-powerful if I can't ever have any fun?" Lloyd asked frustrated 

Anna moved another branch from her front. "The Golden Power needs to be protected and honored. Evil forces will seek it, and try to take it for their own. It seduces. Even your friends may one day covet it." Garmadon says

Anna turned around thinking Garmadon was saying that she would hurt Lloyd someday "I WOULD NEVE-"

Garmadon cut her off "He who holds the power has a tremendous obligation. You two must be prepared to handle this journey alone. Even without me one day."

"Yeah, I know," Lloyd said

"Keep your chin up, son. Legend also states there is a jewel inside the maze, the most beautiful oasis no one has ever seen before. Perhaps we will be the first." Garmadon said, Anna on the other hand is still angry about what Garmadon said, would she one day hurt him?

-The Others-

The ninja approaches the Serpentine village inside the tomb.

"Tomb of the Stone Army. It's been sealed since the Serpentine were trapped here." Kai said "It appears the seal has been opened," Zane says and they hear Skales whistling.

"Aah! Not you again!" Skales exclaimed

"Skales. Something told me you'd be behind this. Search his bag." Cole ordered and Jay and Kai searched him

"Aah! This is harassment. I've done nothing wrong." Skales argued

"Except steal the hard drive. Where is it? What are you hiding?" Jay asked firmly

"He's hiding...groceries? And the latest issue of Ninjago Times." Kai said and looked at a newspaper

"What can I say? I'm a sucker for the crossword. Sorry, you've got the wrong snake." he said 

"Daddy? Are you okay?" The ninja glanced back to see a small snake with its mother

"Stay inside, Skales Jr." the mother says, "Skales Jr.? Uh, you have a son?" Kai asked surprised, "We've been busy since you left us. And we prefer to keep it that way." Skales hissed as he walked over to his son
