Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 3: Snakebit

"Will we see them again?" Jay asked

"It is hard to say. But we need to allow them to follow their path" Wu replied

The other ninjas pet their dragons.

Jay walks over to Nya who's with Kai and Flame "Well, I guess I gotta go on this long walk all by myself. Sure be nice to have company..."

"Of course we'll go, buddy" Kai said

"I could use a break" Cole added

"All you had to do was ask" Zane smiled

Jay sighs in annoyance. Wu also tags along as the Dragons fly away. Wu plays the Sacred Flute while they walk. Jay stops walking after approaching the Junkyard.

"What is it?" Nya asked

"It's quiet. My family's never quiet" Jay runs and hears Ed and Edna's mumbled grunts in a locked fridge. He kicks it open.

"What happened? Who did this?" Jay rips the tape off Edna's mouth then rips the tape off Ed's mouth.

They have developed small fangs and forked tongues.

"The bite of the Fangpyre! Once they sink their teeth, their venom can turn anything into a serpent. It's only a matter of time before the full transformation is complete" Wu explained

A Fangpyre-infected wrecking ball appears, along with a horde of Fangpyre, Lloyd and his friend.

"...how did we even get to this point?" Lloyd's friend asks herself

"Lloyd!" Wu shouts

"Hello, uncle. Looks like we're not the only family reunion. I'm glad you brought the Ninja. I could use some help taking out the trash. Muahaha!" Lloyd evilly laughed stupidly

"Lloyd even your laugh is stupid" his friend comments "it needs to be evil but not over the top evil"

"We need the antivenom in the staff" Wu said

"To the dirt!" Cole shouts and everyone plunges to the ground as the wrecking ball attacks.

The Ninja engage the snakes in battle, dodging the attacks of the wrecking ball in the process. With Nya covering him, Master Wu uses the Sacred Flute against several Fangpyre, only for Lloyd to counter with loud music from a Serpentine boombox.

"Young nephew, must I teach you whose side you should be on?" Wu questioned

Lloyd turns the volume up "Sorry, uncle. Can't hear you!"

The Ninja pursue a trio of Fangpyre around a pile of junk. Unfortunately, this allows the snakes to bite a large ninja statue and transform it into a giant battle robot. Unable to compete with such a large foe, Jay commandeers the Fangpyre's wrecking ball, using it to bring down the robot.

"Retreat!" Lloyd shouts, his friend, him and Fantom escape on a Rattlecopter.

"He's getting away with the staff!" Nya shouts

Jay sighs "Right now would be a good time to have those Dragons"

"There is still a way. Part of reaching your own full potential is understanding your weapon's potential. Once it is in tune with a focused heart, its secrets and powers can be unlocked." Wu said

"Oh, this is not the time to be cryptic!" Jay shouted

"He's saying our weapons are vehicles themselves" Zane explained

"Jay concentrate on unlocking your Golden Weapon. Let your heart guide you. Imagine you're taking flight" Wu said

Jay successfully turned his Nunchucks into the Storm Fighter. Kai turned his into the Blade Cycle, Zane's into the Snowmobile, and Cole's into the Tread Assault. Everyone chases after Lloyd with Jay cheering.

"Does your flute turn into anything?" Nya asked

Wu looks at his flute "I wish"

The ninja return to the bounty with the staff, where Wu and Nya were. As Nya creates tea from the staff's anti-venom and cures Ed and Edna with it, Jay desperately tries to activate the "defense system" he installed into the ship. As the Fangpyre close in, Ed takes a look at the controls and repairs it, allowing Jay to activate the ship's new flight modifications.

With a roar of engines, the Destiny's Bounty soars out of the desert, leaving Lloyd coughing on the dust stirred up by its flight. Unfortunately, Nya accidentally drops the Fangpyre Staff out of the back of the ship, allowing Fangtom to retrieve it after it knocks out one of his soldiers.

"We'll get you back to the Junkyard just as soon as we see the coast is clear. But stay as long as you'd like. It's nice having you here" Jay said

"Oh, take a note Edna of all our inventions, this one is our greatest!" Ed said happily

"I already know, dear" Edna tosses the notepad away. The trio embraces each other
