My seat was swaying back and forth slowly I hadn't seen a storm like this in forever.
"Why is it that Torchfire Mountain is the only place we can destroy the Fangblades?" Nya asked
"Cause the Fangblades are made from the original teeth of the Devourer. They're so strong they can only break down in extraordinary heat." I informed
"Uh, could someone pass the salt?" Jay questioned and The Destiny's Bounty tilts, sliding the salt shaker towards him. "Hey, thanks."
The door creeks open slowly revealing Cole, green from air sickness.
"Please. No one talk about food. How much longer until we get there?" Cole asked
"Not long. Hey, Cole, you're looking a little green over there. How'd you like a mucus salt sandwich?" Cole goes outside to vomit making Jay laugh.
"Your so immature." I rolled my eyes
Jay shrugged "Speaking of green, who would've guessed little Lloyd Garmadon turned out to be the Green Ninja?"
"I know. He was such a brat at first. It's hard to believe he's gonna become the greatest ninja that ever lived." Nya said making me look at Kai he still hasn't gotten over it
I watched as he cleared his throat "Where is that little runt?"
"Probably training." I replied Lloyd was taking the whole green ninja thing very seriously.
The storm had calmed down very well I assumed we were in desert terrain now.
"Will everyone please place their seat back and tray table in the full upright and locked position? We have reached our destination: Torchfire Mountain. Give it a minute while we settle into position." Nya spoke on the speakers
I exited the bridge handing the ninja each a fangblade
"It's roasting out here." Jay complained
"Heh. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Kai remarked smirking making me laugh a little
Cole gave me confused look "it was just a tiny bit funny because you know he is the master of fire." I explained nervously
"Hey, what's with Sensei?" I ask changing the topic
"I do not know. He's been distant all morning." Zane responded
"Ah, it is beautiful, is it not?" Sensei asked looking at the sky
"Very beautiful but Sensei, we are ready for the destruction of the Fangblades, yet you seem disinterested." Zane commented
"You do not need my approval to finish the task." Sensei told making me glance at the other confused
"Uh, but Sensei—" Jay protested
"Butts are for sitting. And besides, there will come a time when you will have to go on without me." Sensei replied
"Sensei, you're talking crazy. You've been alive for, like, forever." Kai laughed making me nudge him. "Ugh!" He groaned
"What he is trying to say is you are like the sunrise. We cannot begin a day without you." I replied grinning trying to cover up what Kai said
"Ah, but even the sun must go down so a new day begins."
"I don't like metaphors. What are you trying to say? Are you leaving us again?" Cole asked
"In meditation, my smoke visions have come to an end, and tomorrow, I cannot see. This worries me." Sensei informed us
"But it could be a good omen, you know. We destroy the Fangblades, then everything's gravy." Jay commented giving reassurance
"Let's just get rid of them, for good." Sensei Wu stated but then suddenly the bounty became unstable making us all slide to the left.
I watched as Sensei slid off to the wooden plank.
"Sensei! Hang on. We're coming." Cole declared as we moved I reached out grabbing Sensei's hand just as he let go of the plank.
"You're not going anywhere." I assured him
"Thank you, Y/n."
"Nya, what's going on?" Kai yelled
"Ah! Someone or something has overridden the system." She shouts
"Pythor's on board!" Lloyd shouted on the intercom as his message echoes over the ship, we look back to find the Anacondrai with the Fangblades in his hands.
"Sorry if I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole Devourer thing going on." He chuckles. "Toodaloo."
I groaned my bones ached and not to mention I'm DANGLING OVER A VOLCANO.
"Don't let go!" Jay begged
"You think I don't know that?" Kai stated and we began falling through the sky.
"AHH!"
Our screams were stopped by Nya catching us in samurai suit
"I don't think I've ever been more glad to see you." Jay replied
"Feel the same. Come on, he's getting away." Nya informed
***
I prepared to go after the Serpentine, while Lloyd brought the Golden Weapons.
"If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer." Sensei stated
"Well, we're not gonna let that happen." Kai asserted
"Oh, what about me?" Lloyd asked
"We need someone to stay with the Bounty." I responded
"But did you see me kick him in the face? I'm an asset. I kick butt. And face." He jumped up in the air kicking
"Patience, kid. You're too important now that you're the chosen one." Kai proclaimed
"Patience, hmm? Ah, the student has become the teacher." Sensei smiled to himself proudly
"What do you say we play a little catch-up?" Jay asked smirking
"It's my favorite game." Cole grinned
We summon our vehicles.
"I've got him in my sights." I said into my intercom
I took the skys seeing the automobile turn into a snake. They really know how to be creative I watch as the snakes all stick their heads out the window gazing at us.
I quickly jump out of my vehicle and into the fortress "Let's split up. Last one to the front is a rotten ninja." Kai called out
I slide over the side through a window punching serpentine. I grabbed a rope quickly tying the group up.
I hear something knock the window along with a groan.
"What? You try fighting up here." Kai yelled climbing back on the top
I opened the window sticking my head out "FOR YOUR INFORMATION KAI IM ALWAYS THE ONE FIGHTING ONTOP OF THINGS HELLO I HAVE A BOW AND ARROW!"
***
We all joined together in one cart "One more car to go. Pythor's in there with the four Fangblades. Who's first?" Kai asks as Sensei Wu slips by and detaches the car.
"Sensei!" Jay yelled
"What are you doing?" I asked slowly
"My destiny is to face Pythor alone. Your destiny is to look after Lloyd." Sensei spoke
What is he talking about Lloyd needs him as much as all of us do. I watched as he got farther and farther away.
"This is turning into a habit with him. How do we get off this thing?" Kai wondered
Cole started to yawn as everyone sat down
"This is really boring." Nya replied
I stood up and started walking through the sand "and where are you going?" Cole called
"To Ouroboros I don't care if I have to walk if it were any of us Sensei would." I answered back
As I was about to turn around to start walking the Bounty came into my vision
"Lloyd!" The ninja shout as the anchor hooks on the train.
***
"Okay, Lloyd. Put us down right after that truck." I stated once we were settled everyone ran off the train.
"What's going on? Who's that creature underground?" Kai questioned it only took me seconds to read the scene Sensei was sacrificing himself.
"You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja! Go!" Sensei asserted before the Devourer rose up the snake was as tall as skyscraper it didn't hesitate lunging at Sensei Wu and Pythor.
