Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 1: Rise of the Snakes

In the Monastery of Spinjitzu, Master Wu is interrupted from his meditation by the sound of the Ninja fighting. As the cries of battle continue, he enters the training yard only to find it deserted. Wu follows the shouting into the living room only to find them all playing video games.

"Fantastic! I'm out of lives!" Jay shouts

"But the lesson lives on, and I am getting the hang of it" Zane says

"Okay. Now!" Cole shouted

Just as they are about to perform a special attack, Wu unplugs the TV

"Aw" the ninja whined

"What? What happened?!" Jay shouted

"It took us three hours to get there" Cole complained

"Why would you do that?! Why?!" Jay shouted

"Just because Lord Garmadon escaped through a vortex doesn't mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu!" Wu lectured

"But Sensei Wu, ever since he's been gone, Ninjago has had nothing but peace" Zane said

"Yeah. Peace is boring. There's no one to save. There's nothing to do" Jay complained

"We can train tomorrow" Cole said

"Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today" Wu said

Cole picked up a slice of pizza "Well, I was gonna eat this pizza tomorrow. So if that's the case—" Wu kicks the pizza slice off his hand "—Ow!"

"No pizza for you! In order to reach your full potential, you must train!" Wu commanded

Kai smirked "Uh... remember when we did a little thing called the Tornado of Creation? I thought that was pretty insane"

Wu sighs "You five have merely scratched the surface of your full potential. There are still so many secrets you have yet to unlock. You haven't even begun to tap into what powers your Golden Weapons hold"

Kai's Sword is burning a pizza slice

"You wanna talk secret powers? Check this out" Cole uses his Scythe to plug back the television

"Don't worry, Master. We will be ready when Lord Garmadon returns" Zane reassured him

Nya ran into the room "Guys! Lord Garmadon! He's returned! He was spotted approaching Jamanakai Village!"

That sent the Ninja into a state of panic. They rush down to the pen where their dragons are kept. One of the dragon doors hits Zane's head. Cole drops his weapon when mounting on his Dragon. Jay fails to mount on his Dragon.

The Ninja fly off to Jamamakai Village with their Dragons.

"You guys believe what Sensei said about unlocking our full potential?" Kai questioned

Cole shrugged "Don't know about you, but is anyone else a little excited about battling Lord Garmadon? I've been looking forward to trying out some new Spinjitzu moves. Could be the perfect opportunity"

Jay laughed "Ha-ha! Race you there?"

The Ninja race towards Jamanakai Village. The Ninja speed through the last stretch while approaching Jamanakai Village. They all land at the same time.

"Ha-ha! I'm first!" Kai shouted jumping down

"No! No one was faster than me!" Jay argued

Cole laughed "Ha-ha-ha! My feet were down before yours!"

"You were all disillusioned! It was clearly me!" Zane said

The villagers are screaming and running to their homes. An evil shadow appears and an evil laughter is heard in the background.
