Ninjago: One More Ninja

Chapter 7: Tick Tock

I'm going to be trying to update a lot more, so be careful not to miss any chapters. And I know everyone's freaking out about the Corona virus but I'm not and I'm going to keep writing hopefully to help make people smile and laugh, instead of worrying about it and just enjoy life right now cause if people are going to get sick and maybe die, then I'd rather live my last days happily then spend my last days worry about something that's out of my control. So everyone right now just live your life as happily as you can and we'll all get through it together. I hope my book can continue to make people happy😊

"how long has he been underwater?" Aria asked

"A long time" Kai replied

"If he drowns do we have to pull his dead body up or will it float up?" Aria asked

"What kind of question is that? He's fine" Cole replied

After awhile longer Zane surfaces and the ninja all cheer

"Amazing!" Cole shouted

"We're not worthy" Jay said falling to his knees and Aria laughed 

"I broke the record?" Zane questioned

"You destroyed it!" Kai replied

"Okay, okay. Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? We've been training for so long, I don't think we can get any better. Just think about all we've accomplished" Jay said

Aria sighed "what you've accomplished, I can't do anything

"What are you talking about, you've done a lot. Like dealing with that giant spider to get your weapons" Kai said patting her head

"Not to mention all the hard training you've been doing to learn them" Cole added "you're doing just fine kiddo"

"We have all made a lot accomplishments these past couple months, I wonder if we've reached our full potential yet?" Zane questioned as they head inside the Destiny's Bounty to find Wu "Well, every morning I do five hundred push-ups"

"Five hundred? Ha, try a thousand" Kai bragged

Jay laughed "Hahaha, I do a thousand and one"

"What is this, amateur hour?" Aria questioned smugly

Cole laughed "Sounds like my warm-up. Sensei, what does True Potential look like if—"

They see Master Wu putting away a katana.

"Sorry we inturrupted you Sensei" Aria said

Wu sighs "I'm sorry if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. What can I help you with?"

"Sensei, what if we've done enough training? What if we've reached our True Potential? What if we're ready?" Cole asked

"Hm. You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each and every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when you conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your True Potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the Serpentine from releasing the Great Devourer" Wu said

"There's more to the Great Devourer than you've led on, isn't there, Sensei?" Zane questioned

"when I was younger me and my brother were the best of friends. One day while we were practicing our skills, I lost my katana, and my older brother sought to find it, knowing our father would not be pleased. Garmadon found the katana after clambering over the wall, however, he was bitten by a small green snake. In the following days after, Garmadon developed an increasingly darker nature, thanks to the snake bite that was from a legendary snake, the Great Devourer." Wu told them
