Ninjago: The Purple Ninja

Chapter 3: King of Shadows

After getting the Scythe of Quakes, the Ninja set out to find the next three Golden Weapons. Traveling by boat, the Ninja go to retrieve the next weapon, the Shurikens of Ice. 

"No fair, why isn't their a weapon for me" Aria whined

"Patients, you will learn in time" Wu said sipping his tea

"for now let's just focus on finding ours" Zane said

"now I will teach you about the Tornado of Creation. It is a powerful maneuver used by the First Spinjitzu Master to create Ninjago. It combines the individual elements into a maelstrom of pure energy that can create something out of nothing. The tornado could only be used through the combined power of the Golden Weapons" Wu explained

"Wow cool" Jay said excitingly

"We will have to use it with caution" Zane said

When they reach the Frozen Wasteland, Zane attempts to grab the Shurikens, freezing him in a block of ice in the process. 

"Oh that's not good" Aria said

"Zane!" the others shouted and Aria covered her ears

The Guardian of the weapon, the Ice Dragon, is awakened and Aria freaks out. The other three Ninja lift Zane up and ride atop him out of the Frozen Wastelands to the boat while Aria just ran. The ninja hit a pillar on the way out, breaking Zane out of the ice.

"well at least we got the shurikens" Aria sighed

Their next stop is the Floating Ruins, where the Nunchucks of Lightning are being kept. When Jay grabs the Nunchucks, the Lightning Dragon appears in a flash. 

"Fuck not again!" Aria shouted

"Aria language" Kai said

"Fuck you fuck that dragon fuck the world" Aria ranted

"Ok we get it life sucks" Cole said covering her mouth

Using Jay's gliders, they escape to the Forest of Tranquility. That night at camp, the Ninja celebrate getting three of the four Golden Weapons. Master Wu tells them to get some sleep, but not before dancing in celebration with the Ninja.

"Aria aren't you going to join us?" Zane asked

"no way, I don't dance" Aria said

"yes you do, just differently" Cole said

"what's different about her dancing?" Jay asked

"I professionally dance, I took dance classes when I was younger" Aria said

"nice" Kai said

"Off to bed now everyone" Wu said and everyone agreed

While sleeping, Kai wakes up to see Nya standing nearby and calling his name. She runs to the Fire Temple, Kai running after her. When he arrives at the Temple, he finds the Sword of Fire, the last Golden Weapon needed. While he is going up to Nya, she reveals herself to be the shadow of Lord Garmadon. 

Then the real Nya is dropped down on a chain, dangling over the lava. To save her, Kai grabs the Golden Weapon, and once Nya is on solid ground, Lord Garmadon summons Shadows of the Red Ninja to claim the Sword of Fire. Unable to strike the rapidly-multiplying Shadows, Kai is quickly defeated, but Wu and Aria comes to his rescue, using his own shadow to fight off the doppelgangers.

"having some trouble flame brain" Aria teased

"shut it cupcake" Kai said

"Why are you all calling me cupcake now" Aria complained

"your short and it's cute" Kai said holding back a laugh

Meanwhile, Cole, Jay, and Zane are all captured by the Skulkin, who steal the three Golden Weapons in their possession. The Ninja soon escape, using a sword Jay stole from Nuckal, and engage the Skulkin in an attempt to reclaim their weapons, but the villains manage to escape to the Underworld.

Back at the Fire Temple, Garmadon awakens the Fire Dragon to prevent the group from leaving. Master Wu can think of only one way to stop Lord Garmadon: going into the Underworld to fight him directly. Taking the Sword of Fire with him, the old master sails down a river of lava, leaving Aria, Kai, and Nya to face the Dragon alone.

"Why are they all dragons!" Aria shouted and Kai shook his head

Kai looked at Aria "We're ninja Aria, we can handle it"

The dragon roared and Aria squeaked. 

"Or maybe not" Kai said faltering a bit
