Ninjago: The Cursed Child

Chapter 35: Ninja Roll

Aria was awoken with a bright light in her face. She whined and covered her face with a pillow.

"While I wouldn't mind you skipping this, Master Chen wants all competitors to participate" Clouse said pulling her covers off her "get up neice"

Aria sat up and saw him place roller skates at her bedside

"thunderblade?" She questions

"good guess" Clouse said walking to the door "you know where to go, hurry up"

-

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What about us? Are we supposed to just stand here?" Griffin questions

"You get to help anyone you wish, or hurt for that matter. You're free to choose sides. I'm not a dictator" Chen said and everyone but Jay and Kai chose to side with Chamille.

"What was that you sad about us having targets on our backs?" Lloyd questioned looking at the two ninja

"Don't worry, we're still a team—" Kai falls again "Ah!"

Jay sighs "I gotta be honest. This doesn't look good"

"Well it's a good thing I look good in green then" Aria said arriving and skating over to them

"I was wondering where you were" Lloyd said taking her hand and kissing it "hello sweetheart"

"hello darling" Aria smiled

Everyone takes their position.

""Lloyd, Master of Power, versus Chamille, master of Form. Most laps with their Jadeblade when time runs out wins. Loser is out. Thunderbladers on your mark, get set, good luck to everyone, but mostly Chamille because we all want the Green Ninja out. Now go!" Chen shouts and the two get a headstart

"Oh, how about some spectator ambience?" Chen presses a button to make the speakers cheer.

The others take off.

"It's us against the world, Kai. If Lloyd has any chance of moving forward in the tournament, it's up to you and me, but mostly Aria because she's better then us at everything"

Jay sees everyone pushing Lloyd "We have to give him room"

"And just how are we supposed to do that?" Kai questions

"Like this" Aria said slamming her hands to the ground sending electrical currents to the competitors, shocking them

"Aria for the win" Jay cheered

"Good job sweetie" Lloyd called out to behind him

"It's my job" Aria said "Let's go boys"

Kai pushes his way through but accidentally falls on Lloyd "Sorry"

Aria skated ahead of the two "Kai, Lloyd, get yourselves together"

The two get up.

"Kai you're supposed to be helping, not hurting his chances" Jay said skating up to them

"Thanks for the tip, but I can't skate!" Kai shouts

"Aha, let's even the playing field, shall we?" Chen activated a ramp, which Kai falls on.

"Master!" Aria shouted "that's not evening the playing field!"

Shade hits Lloyd's back and Paleman grabs his Jadeblade. Jay pushes Paleman and grabs the Blade back.

"You didn't learn that in your Mother-Son Skate-Off, did you?" Lloyd asked

"It's a fierce competition, Lloyd, and this isn't the time to judge. It's the time to skate faster" Jay jumps over Kai and Griffin, who fell "Haha! Watch out for the Poison cloud!"

Lloyd and Jay skates around it but Kai goes into it. Aria used her fans to blow the poison cloud away.

"Thanks Aria" Kai said as he passed her

Aria shook her head and caught up to Lloyd.

"Release the buggy!" Chen shouts

Jay pushes Lloyd out of the path of the Jungle Raider before he gets hit. They see Chamille holding on to the buggy.

"She has the lead and she gets a lift? I know Chen wants me out, but this is getting ridiculous" Lloyd says annoyed

"Don't worry about it Lloyd, just keep moving" Aria said pushing him forward

Jay pushes Tox, Griffin and Neuro grabs Jay. Griffin uses his Speed and pushes Jay into Lloyd.

"Get up!" Aria shouted pulling the two up.

"Aria we're trying, stop yelling" Jay whined

"Argh! That's it! I may not be able to skate, but that doesn't mean I can't help" Kai uses his Fire to propel himself into Chamille and Jay grabs her Jadeblade.

"Good job boys" Aria praised

"Lloyd's closing the gap, but the clock's against us" Jay said

"So is everyone else. Garmadon's right. The more we exclude everyone, the more they gang up on us" Kai says

"Gimme!" Chamille pushes Jay and steals her Blade back "I've got a job to finish"

"I'll take care of her, you help Lloyd" Aria said to the ninja before following after her

Kai rides next to lloyd on the buggy "Need a lift?"

"You took the buggy" Lloyd said happily getting on

"Buttons, buttons, buttons!" Chen shouts hitting a bunch of buttons trying to stop Lloyd, but can't.

Chamille pulls Lloyd out of the buggy. The two fighters cross the finish line, but only Lloyd has the Jadeblade.

"She doesn't have her Blade!" Jay shouts

Chamille looks back to see Aria has her Jadeblade

Aria shrugged "Should've paid more attention"

"No, no, no! He cheated! Lloyd loses!" Chen shouts

"No way, Lloyd won fair and square. You were the one who cheated" Griffin argued

Chen crossed his arms "My tournament, my rules"

"And just what rules are those? If Lloyd's out, then so am I" Paleman said

"Me too" Kai agreed

Jay nodded "And me three"

"Not me" Aria said "I'm staying in"

The ninja all gave her a look

Aria hugged Lloyd's arm "I'm only joking"

"If you kick us all out, what kind of tournament will you have then?" Skylor questions

"Fine, have it your way. Form loses" Chen opens a trapdoor under Chamille. Everyone cheers.

"Aria that wasn't a funny joke" Lloyd said looking at her

Aria looked at him with her cute puppy dog eyes and he sighed "ok ok you win, don't give me those eyes"

"yay" Aria cheered

Lloyd shook his head and smiled "I love you"

"I love you too" Aria replied before kissing his cheek
