Ninjago: One More Ninja

Chapter 62: Into the Breach

Ninja are sailing the Destiny's Bounty away from Ninjago City.

"How far, Nya?" Cole asks

"We're going as fast as we can, but this ship needs some fine tuning for sure" Nya replied

Jay busily types away on the UHF, he looks around cautiously and finds himself looking at Garmadon.

Garmadon inspects the buttons "Hmm"

Jay walks to the rest of the Ninja "Am I the only one freaking out about this?"

"Why freak out? Our derange, psychotic, arch-nemesis is now our house guest" Kai answers sarcastically

"I find the term freak out inadequate and imprecise. I prefer to say I am deeply troubled" Zane says

"You just said the same thing but more confusing" Aria comments

Nya whispers nervously "Lloyd? Are you sure he can be trusted?"

"No. Of course not" Lloyd replies

Garmadon walks around inspecting the buttons

"Of course not?!" Jay shouts "That's not what you're supposed to say. You're supposed to say yes."

"What choice do we have? If Master Wu is right, and we're under attack by the Oni, then my father may be our best chance" Lloyd argues "And anyway, he doesn't have his powers back, so how much trouble can he really cause?"

Garmadon presses a button. Sails fold in and the thrusters turn off. Everyone looks at him, Garmadon walks away.

Zane looks at everyone "Did he just turn off the—"

The ship starts to plummet

"I'm going to kill him!" Aria shouts

"He shut off the engines! We're gonna crash!" Jay shouts

Zane starts for the emission switch, but Kai crashes into him, pulling him farther away from the emission switch.

"Ah! I can see the ground! It's getting really close, really fast!" Jay shouts

"oh for the love of the devil!" Aria shouts hitting the emission switch, just in time for the Destiny's Bounty to rise up into the air.

The Ninja sigh, getting back their breath.

"Hmm. That button should be labeled" Garmadon shrugs

Nya shouts in annoyance "Ugh! It is labeled! It says don't push while in motion!" 

Garmadon climbs down the ladder.

"Perhaps it would be wise to accompany your father, Lloyd, to prevent further... mishaps" Zane suggests

Lloyd sighs in anger "Ugh, I can't believe I have to babysit my own father"

"Well he is your father why should we have to watch him?" Aria questions

"good point" Lloyd agrees "but you watch them"

"I will" Aria smiled

Lloyd rushes after his father.

Later Zane's voice is heard on the speakers "All hands to the bridge"

The ninja all head to the bridge.

"Ahem" Garmadon got their attention "The Oni entered this realm through a portal or rift between our world and theirs. There are only one or two ways this is possible. And, I'm willing to wager, it would've been through the Realm Crystal. To stop this darkness from spreading, the crystal must be destroyed"
