Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 34: Versus

At the palace, an Anacondrai Cultist is serving the Elemental Masters their food.

"Nu-uh. Nothing for you" one refused to give Garmadon biscuits

Garmadon turned to Lloyd "There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight..."

"Next!"

" ...you may not be served creamy biscuits" Garmadon finished

"And if you're a princess you get whatever you want" Cole said annoyed, pointing to Aria who had high class food like Chen

Aria shrugged "I say being evil pays off some times"

"Well, I know what we are being served. A whole bunch of baloney. This isn't a fighting tournament. It's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why" Lloyd said

"Isn't it obvious?" Kai questioned "Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck"

"I'm not so sure. From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister" Cole suggested

"And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane is, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time" Jay added "Don't look at me. I've already moved on"

"Your opponent got himself kicked out" Cole said

"Hehe, either way, it's my day off" Jay turns to the Cultist "Extra creamy biscuits. And don't skimp"

They start walking away from the line. Jay and Cole started arguing until Aria pushed them both forward. Lloyd sighed.

"The tournament will test them, Lloyd. Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on" Garmadon said

Chen came on the intercom "The tournament of Elements continues. Fun time! Would the following Masters please make their way to their assign arena? Speed, Gravity, Smoke, Nature, Mind, oh, and last and hopefully not least... Darkness!"

"yes!" Aria cheered

"Remember, only one can remain" Chen finished

"Aria don't go overboard" Lloyd instructed

"Oh please, I've been looking forward to fighting these losers" Aria said earning a look from all the elemental masters

"Aria's going to get us all killed" Kai said covering his face

-

The fighters are in their arenas.

"Turner, Master of Speed, versus Gravis, Master of Gravity. Fight!" The two make their way toward the Jadeblade. Neuro and Bolobo begin their match.

"Neuro, Master of Mind, versus Bolobo, Master of Nature. Fight". Neuro uses his Mind on his opponent. Neuro manages to dodge Bolobo's vines.

Aria and Ash's fight begins.

"Aria, Master of Darkness, versus Ash, Master of Smoke"

"This is unfair, she's a Dark Lord!" Ash shouted

"Fight!" The two run to each other

The Masters watches Neuro and Bolobo's fight. Neuro gets trapped in Bolobo's vines. Gravis levitates some of the flowers from the tree. Neuro uses his Mind to give Bolobo a headache, freeing him and using another vine to climb the rock and grab the Jadeblade.

"Winner! ...Loser!" Bolobo screams as he falls under a trapdoor "Master of Mind moves on"

Gravis levitates the Jadeblade, but Griffin grabs it
