INVISIBLE STRING | ZANE

20 | unleashing evil

Fangpyre-infected bikes charged at the three ninja on the ground, having come from the side of the bus. But no matter how many the ninja took down, more just kept coming their way. 

The yellow ninja somehow managed to free one hand to summon orbs of cosmic energy which she tossed down at the scaly riders below. It wasn't much, but it was enough to help her ninja down on the ground. She was there to protect and help them after all, so what else would she be doing.

Alternating between grasping the wing and firing her own assault of elemental cannon fire, Iris tried her best to stop the Serpentine. As someone who understood the damage the Great Devourer could cause, she was even more determined to ensure that that huge snake never see the light of day again. If she could teleport to Pythor — inside a moving vehicle — and snatch back the blades, then she already would have. So Iris had to help as much as she could, even if she couldn't use her powers to solve everything.

From her comm, Iris could just make out the voice of Cole as he said. "If we have any chance at getting on that truck, we need to work together."

"I've got an idea." Announced Nya as she soared above Iris and Jay. "Jay, follow me. And Iris, hang on." Nodding, the yellow ninja white-knuckled the metal wing beneath her in preparation. Then the lightning jet flew upwards as it followed Nya's Samurai suit. "Zane, try to get in close and cool him off."

Nya led them down to the back of the snake bus. To the tail. It tried to hit them from the sky as an assault of laser fire was directed at the two flying objects. Jay flipped in the air and spun to avoid being struck.

Boy, Iris was glad she tightened her grip now. 

But the constant spinning was making her feel nauseous so she hoped that whatever Zane had to do, that he did it quick. 

Leaping from his bike, Zane used spinjitzu to get aboard the roof of the bus. Instantly his bike evaporated and reverted back into his elemental shurikens that would aid him in his fight. Iris wanted to jump from the wing and help him, but she was currently feeling too dizzy to do anything. 

Fortunately, it seemed the ice ninja had it all under control. And he managed to sever the last car (the one with all the cannons and the huge hitting tail) from the rest of them. Now nothing could try and stop them from approaching. Finally, they had a chance.

"All right." Cheered Jay as he finally steadied out his jet. "Nice one, Zane. Now let's board that truck."

Pushing away her nausea, Iris chuckled lightly. "You read my mind, Jay."

After a moment of trailing the bus, the ninja prepared to release their vehicles to jump to the bus. But then the long, green snake-on-wheels started accelerating as they drew nearer to the City. So, the ninja sped up too.

"Get ready, Iris!" 

As soon as Jay's warning left his lips, Iris released her hold on his plane. She could feel it dematerialising beneath her so she had to be quick. So with one firm push from the wing surface, Iris Wu launched herself forwards and to the bus. Jay was not that far behind her and they landed without issue. 

With her feet on, at last, a flat surface, Iris sighed. She loved flying, she truly did, but all that twisting and turning didn't really agree with her. So it took a moment of deep breathing to finally calm her nerves, and her stomach, after arriving on the roof of the bus. Zane was already on board next to her and Cole and Kai were next to join them.

"Are you alright, Iris?" Questioned the ice ninja as he scanned her yellow form with worry.

The Master of Space nodded with a small smile. "Yeah, I am now. Thank you, Zane."
