Chapter 14: The Day of the Great Devourer

298 8 1
By AriaLord

A moment later the Great Devourer swallows Pythor and Master Wu in a single gulp.

"No sensei!" Aria shouts

Kai picks her up before she could run over "It's too late Aria"

The giant snake then turns and spots them.

Jay looked nervous "Oh, maybe if we stand perfectly still.."

"Run!" Kai shouts

The ninja take off and climb aboard the Bounty.

"There's no wind. And we only have reserved fuel" Lloyd says

"Use it" Nya commands and they took off with the Devourer following

"Uh, hate to tell you this, but objects in the mirror are closer than they appear!" Jay shouts, panicking

"Working on it." Nya says "Blasters on full."

Kai threw something at the snake "Whoo-hoo! Take that, you stupid snake"

The Devourer ate it and moved faster

"Uh, I think it heard you" Jay says nervously

"Go faster!" Aria shouts

"We're going as fast as we can. I'll try to make it to Scattered Canyon" Nya says

"Probability of us making it that far is less than 8 percent" Zane calculates

"not now Zane!" Aria shouts as her eyes teared up

Lloyd hugs her "We're losing speed. We'll drop to the ground pretty soon"

"Throw everything overboard" Nya commands "We need to lose some weight"

"Port side!" Lloyd shouts

The Ninja begin throwing out many things including a fridge only for the Devourer to eat it all and grow exponentially.

"Man, he sure is hungry. Does anyone else think the Devourer looks bigger than it did before?" Jay questions

"The more it consumes, the bigger it gets. Don't throw anything else overboard" Cole says

Nonetheless, the lost ballast allows the Destiny's Bounty to reach Crashcourse Canyon.

"Phew. We made it to Scattered Canyons" Nya sighs in relief

"we lost him" Cole relaxed before The Devourer bites off an engine.

Aria screamed as they started to fall

"Abandon ship!" Nya shouts

Lloyd grabbed Aria's hand when she hesitated and pulled her off with the rest of them. They hide under a walk, the Ninja watch as the Great Devourer bites their home in half, quickly leaving the scene afterwards

"Oh, that was too intense." Kai huffs "All that action makes you so thirsty."

"There's no time to rest. We need to warn people before it becomes bigger" Zane says

Jay freaks out "Bigger? Bigger!? That thing in one big bite crushed our entire ship! We need to save as many as we can. Uh, uh, we'll find some kind of refuge, somewhere safe to hide. Ooh, the Serpentine Tombs. Yeah, they're underground. Sure, we'll be without sunlight, but they're perfect"

Aria starts crying.

"Jay look what you did!" Nya shouts

"I didn't mean to make her cry" Jay says

Kai bends down to her "Princess it's ok

"No it's not!" Aria cries "Sensei Garmadon left, now Sensei Wu's gone."

Lloyd walked over and hugged her, she wraped her arms around him and cried.

"What are we gonna do?" Lloyd looks at the ninja

Kai looks at all of them before speaking "You know guys this isn't want Sensei Wu would've wanted from us"

"But he's not here anymore" Lloyd responds sadly and they all looked down.

Kai stood in front of everyone "But his teachings live on. Sensei once told me it's not the size of a Ninja in a fight, it's the size of the fight in the Ninja. All this training, all of these battles we've had with skeletons and Serpentine. We've persevered through so much, we can't just give up now. A Ninja never admits defeat. A Ninja always pick themselves up when they're down. Which is exactly what Sensei Wu would want us to do right now"

"But how do we destroy a snake of that magnitude?" Zane questions

"Yeah, it's not like we have an extra Sacred Flute lying around to charm it. Or wait, haha, how about one of our awesome Dragons? Oh, I forgot. They took off and left us high and dry. Or, hey, what about out Golden Weapons? Which will do nothing against a snake that size. Heh, oh, we are so hooped" Jay throws his hands in the air

"Ah, Jay's right. We would need a weapon so big" Cole agrees

Aria lifted her head off Lloyd's shoulder "or we go to-"

"-Or an idea that's even bigger! Ha! Jay, you're a genius! You thinking what I'm thinking?" Kai questions excitedly

"Probably not, but go ahead" Jay says

"There's no time. I'll fill you guys in on the way" Kai starts running

Jay looked confused "Wha-Where are we going?"

"We're going to destroy that snake once and for all" Kai says

The other ninja ran after him.

Aria stays put and sighs "if you want something done, you've got to do it yourself"

-

The Ninja made it to Ed & Edna's Scrap N Junk.

"Good idea, Kai. If the Devourer likes to consume, this place is a full-on buffet" Cole says

Jay sighs "Looks like my parents are gone"

"Good, better for us" Kai lays out a blueprint "Zane, you still have a recording of the Sacred Flute in your memory bank?"

"It might've been destroyed earlier, but I have its exact tone recorded and ready for playback Zane plays the flute recording.

"Good. And there should be enough spare parts around here to build this whopper. But we're gonna need to create our biggest Tornado of Creation yet. This is gonna be dangerous and we can't have anyone around" Kai looked at the ninja "Aria I need you to- where's Aria"

The ninjas looked around.

"oh no" Cole groans

"Don't tell me we lost her" Lloyd says worriedly

"I thought she was with Lloyd" Kai says

"I thought she was with one of you" Lloyd puts his hands up

"Oh no, the devourer ate Aria!" Jay shouts falling to his knees

"I don't think she got eaten Jay" Zane says

They see the devourer in the distance.

"we'll figure out where Aria went later, we have something more important to do" Kai sighs

-

The Great Devourer enters the city through the subway system and scares off everyone in the rally. Ed and Edna try to escape in their car, but the engine doesn't start-luckily, Jay arrives to blast the Devourer before it can eat them. The other Ninja join the battle and attempt to deter the monster with every attack at their disposal, but their efforts only seem to make it angry.

Nya and Lloyd attempt to stop the Great Devourer by wedging a street light in its mouth using the Samurai X suit, only to get stuck when the suit malfunctions. Before they can be consumed, the Devourer is attacked by the Ninja's Dragons, now merged as the Ultra Dragon.

After saving Nya and Lloyd, the Ultra Dragon swoops in to attack the snake, with the Ninja cheering it on. The assault seemingly forces the Great Devourer to retreat, but as the Ultra Dragon glides to its allies, the serpent's tail shoots out of the ground and knocks the Dragon out of the air.

"No!" The ninja shouted as the Ultra Dragon hits the ground.

The ninja all run to the ultra dragon.

"What now?" Nya questions

"We can't defeat the devourer" They heard Aria's voice and they all turned around to see her with Garmadon, holding her hand.

"Dad" Lloyd says

"You should keep a closer eye on this one, after we arrived she almost got crushed" Garmadon tells them as he let go of Aria's hand and Kai picks her up

"Why would you save Aria?" Kai questions suspiciously

"She was still once my student," Garmadon replies "Not that I don't have my own intentions behind it."

"And what's that?" Cole asks

"That's not important right now, give me the weapons" Garmadon commands "I am the only one who can handle the power of all four weapons at once. It's the only thing that'll defeat the Devourer"

"Uh, I thought we were supposed to do everything in our power not to let him possess the weapons" Jay says worriedly

"I've ran every other scenario through my servers. It appears to be the only way" Zane tells them

"Give me the weapons" Garmadon commands "Only I can destroy it. Or prepare to watch-"

"Quit your yammering and just do it" Kai throws him the Sword of Fire "When you have a chance to make the blow, it has a weak spot near his forehead" he places Aria down on her feet

Everyone but Jay has given the Dark Lord their weapons.

Jay gave him the Nunchucks of Lightning "Uh, I don't think this needs to be said, but we're gonna need these back"

"I'll do my part. You just make sure he stays in one spot" Garmadon pats Lloyd and Aria's head "you two kids take cover"

Lloyd nods, he took Aria's hand and ran away to hide with her.

Kai begins by confronting the Great Devourer alone, luring it through the street to where Cole is waiting. Cole then lures it to the billboard where Jay stands, and Jay leads it through a construction site to meet up with Zane. As Jay and Zane escape using an ice slide that Zane created.

The Devourer pursues them, but right before it could consume them, Kai and Cole swoop in on the Ultra Dragon to pick them up. Rushing to a nearby building, the Ninja see that their plan has worked; the Devourer has bitten its own tail, and with its oversized body tangled among the buildings of Ninjago City, it is completely stuck.

"We did it! Now, where's Garmadon? He's not gonna hold on for much longer" Cole says

The sky becomes engulfed by dark clouds where Garmadon is on the roof of a skyscraper. He unleashes a purple energy as he jumps. He destroys the Devourer and its venom spreads throughout the city. Everyone cheers.

"Hey, there you are, you big lug" Cole pets the Ultra Dragon "It's good to have you back"

Aria and Lloyd ran out to the ninja.

Lloyd looks around "I don't see my dad"

"He should be around here somewhere" Kai says

Aria closed her eyes and after a bit she opened them "No, Sensei Garmadon's gone"

"Then our Golden Weapons are gone too. Well, isn't that convenient?" Cole says sarcastically

"Sensei Wu!" Aria suddenly shouts

The ninja see Master Wu alive amongst the slime, and the Ninja excitedly rush over

"I can't tell you how glad I am to see you" Wu passes his pupils to pick up his teapot "The Devourer left a bad taste in my mouth" He drinks some tea "Ah. Much better. And still hot"

Aria made a face "ew"

"It's good to have you back, uncle. But my father left and he took the Golden Weapons" Lloyd tells him

"Ah, very true. The ability of the weapon is truly great, but the ability to better oneself makes you limitless" Wu says

"Am I really gonna have to fight my father one day?" Lloyd questions

Wu chuckled "Yes Lloyd one day. But today we can feel good that Ninjago is saved, for tomorrow you will train for the day. Good will finally face evil and a final outcome will be decided for all of time."

Kai smiles "But don't worry. We're gonna teach you everything we know"

"And make sure you're prepared for that fight" Jay agrees

"Because as we all know, good will always stand up to evil" Cole says

"And Ninja will always stand up for what is right" Zane adds

"And I'll be right with you" Aria holds Lloyd's hand and he smiles

"And meanwhile Aria, we will once again resume your special training" Wu tells her

"B-but I'm not ready" Aria says nervously

Wu places his hand on her shoulder "There comes a time where you must conquer your fears, or fear will become your worst enemy. I believe you are ready to try once again."

"Ok sensei.. I'll try" Aria hesitantly agrees

"But first.." Wu turns and looks off into the distance "we unfortunately have to make a visit."

Aria holds her locket tightly "to see my mother.."
