Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 21: The Day Ninjago Stood Still

At Grand Sensei Dareth's Mojo Dojo, the Ninja are training a blindfolded Lloyd. Although Aria is not there, she is training at the bounty. 

"Don't rely on your eyes. Use your ears" Cole commanded

"Uh, guys, I'm teaching a class later, so I'd appreciate a clean dojo" Dareth said as he entered the room

The Ninja ignore him and kept fighting, knocking Jay into his collection of fake trophies.

"Ah! No, no, no! No, no, no! No! No, no, no!" Dareth shouted

He opens a window and Jay gets thrown out.

Lloyd uses his Fire powers and set a small patch of carpet on fire.

"No, no, no, no!" Dareth puts it out and sighs.

"Hey, open the window! Let me in!" Jay shouted from outside

At the Destiny's Bounty, Wu looks at a photo of Misako, a girl, Garmadon, and himself in the past. Misako comes in unexpectedly, startling Wu, and they talk for a bit.

The ground starts rumbling and they run out.

"Aria are you coming!" Wu shouts before they leave

"In a minute, I'm in the middle of something!" Aria shouts from her room

"We'll meet you there!" Wu shouts back

-

Wu and Misako ran into the dojo.

Gayle on TV "NGTV reporter Gayle Gossip on the scene of what appears to be an earthquake rocking the city of Ninjago. But it's an earthquake like no other, as scientists have yet to pinpoint the cause. And more frightening still, the aftershocks are getting stronger."

"What do you think this could be?" Cole questioned

"Wouldn't be surprised if it was Garmadon. We haven't seen him for a while" Kai said

"He would never. Lloyd's father is evil, but he would never do anything to put his son in harm's way" Misako said

Wu nodded "Misako's right. He only tried to thwart his training. This is something else"

"But what is it?" Jay questioned "If only Aria was here"

"She'll be here soon" Wu tells them "for now we need to protect the citizens"

The city is panicking from the earthquake. A women runs to save her dog, but the ground falls under her. The ninja form a chain to reach the woman. Another chunk of the ground falls down. Cole pulls them all up.

"These things keep coming with no warning" Kai said

"That's it. A warning. The scrolls said the earthquakes would be a warning. A warning for something far worse to come" Misako said

"Far worse? What could be far worse?" Jay asked regrettingly

-

Stone Warriors appear out of the ground.

"We're under attack!" Wu shouted

Lloyd, Wu, and Misako get the Ultra Sonic Raider.

"We have to protect the people. Gather as many as you can and get them to our evacuation point!" Wu shouted

Nya appeared on the Raider's screen "We've got problems with that evacuation point, guys. I can't find a safe place to land!"

"Oh my" Wu said looking around at he stone worriers

The ninjas were backed into a corner.

"you look pathetic boys"

"Aria's here" all the ninja grumble
