Chapter 3 - THE RISE OF THE SERPENTINE Part 1!!!!!

On top of the Spinjitzu monastery, there was a figure sitting in the lotus position, trying to meditate and find inner peace until he smelled a fire in the monastery.

Po opened his red eyes and looked at the source of the smell. He saw the entire courtyard engulfed in fire and ninja screaming and running around it.

Po quickly jumped to the training ground, then took out his spear and spun it fully in the air. The spear created a violent wind to put out the fire, but to no avail, as the fire remained raging and burning strongly.

"What happened? Where did the fire come from?" Po asked in a worried voice.

Jay: It's Kai's fault!!

Kai: What??!! How could this be my fault?".

Cole: You lost control of your weapon, you idiot!!!.

Zane: guys you are not helping!!".

Master Wu quickly entered the burning ground, then took out an ice shuriken and threw it in the air.

The shuriken circled an entire temple and put out the fire as if it never existed.

"What were you thinking??!! Master Wu shouted angrily at his foolish students.

Jay: We were trying to figure out who is the Green Ninja.

Po slapped and made a frustrated face upon hearing Jay's answer.

Wu: You weren't supposed to see that scroll.

Kai: but tell us, Master. Is this what you meant when you said our true potential? Like what happened with my sword?.

Wu sighed. "Yes, Kai, but this is just the beginning. You still have a long and winding road ahead of you to reach your true potential.

So, who among us is the Green Ninja, Sensei?" Zane asked the question that had everyone puzzling.

Wu: I don't know who the Green Ninja is, but none of you are even close to the Green Ninja's level."

The four ninja were disappointed upon hearing their master's words.

But suddenly, Kai jumped up. "Well, that means which one of us could reach our full potential first could be the Green Ninja!!!

Jay: Yes!! Let's see what it takes for me to be in the Green Ninja!!!.

Wu sighed. "If that's what it takes for you to train well, so be it.

Po: Speaking of the Green Ninja, sensei, someone told me that the return of Lord Garmadon means the birth of the Green Ninja."

Wu: Oh, and who is that person?.

Po: His name is Tai Li from the Riverland Village. He told me to send his regards and gave me this tea.

Po took out a bag from his pocket and threw it to Master Wu. Wu picked up the bag and looked inside.

Wu: Snowy River Tea My favorite type Po tell me why did you wait so long to tell me about Ty Lee?

Po scratched his head shyly and said "well I was busy learning Spinjitzu and training with the ninja so I completely forgot about him".

Wu: Hmm well better late than never now clean up this mess!!!

Cole: Ahhh!! but sensei we are tired from all this training and fighting and riding dragons can we clean up tomorrow??.

Wu: Never put off until tomorrow what can be done today, now clean up this mess and take the rest of today off. You've worked yourselves up a lot these past two months.

"Okay, sensei" The five ninja started cleaning up the burned and destroyed monastery from the traces of previous battles.

Po: I can't believe you almost burned the whole monastery down for a silly title.

Po said devastatedly to the rest of the ninja as he gathered the burnt training equipment.

Jay: Okay, Po, that's it. How can the green ninja not interest you?!!!

Jay said excitedly and in surprise.

Po shrugged and said, "I only got my Jade today and I don't intend to change to green so soon.

Zane: Logically, there were five ninja in the scroll. Four of them were wearing the same color clothes as us and the fifth was wearing green."

The rest of the ninja stopped when Zane said these facts and looked at Po in unison.

Cole: "Wait a minute, Zane. Do you mean that Po has to be the green ninja??

Kai: What?? This is impossible and can't be!!!.

Po smirked at Kai's reaction and said, "Why is that, cuphead??

Jay: Cuphead?? Hahaha.

Kai quickly approached Po and said "because the green ninja is the best, strongest and fastest ninja and that is me".

Kai pointed to himself with pride the other ninja fell silent and looked at each other

"hahahahaha!!!"

then they burst into laughter especially Po who almost died from laughing at the ridiculousness of what he heard.

Po: you are the strongest and fastest ninja??

Po smiled and said "did you forget that I defeated you all in a four on one fight??

The other ninja fell silent then Cole came forward and said "well back then we weren't at our best we couldn't even perform Spinjitzu well but now??"

Cole clenched his fists and his shirt sleeves exploded and his huge arm muscles emerged and the rocks and gravel rose in the monastery

"now I doubt you can defeat me in a one on one fight now".

Po smiled an excited smile at Cole's display of strength and said "well that's the spirit!!! I'm looking forward to the rematch too".

 "Meanwhile".

The Glacier Barrens are a frigid and mountainous region of Ninjago

Only a fool come here alone because the weather and the height of these mountains but unusually there was a child in theses dangerous mountains kicking gravel and complaining a lot.

"He was Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon"

Lloyd: Aahh stupid ninja!!! When I lay my hands on him I'll gooooaaah!!!!

Lloyd kicks gravel hard it hits something metal

Lloyd: What is this??

Lloyd asked himself in surprise then ran to the source of the sound where he saw a golden snake sign coiled around itself

"Wow"

Lloyd was surprised then he accidentally pressed on the snake's eye

"Kshsh Keek!!!"

Suddenly the floor Lloyd was standing on opened up.

"Aaahhhh Oh Oh Ahh"

Lloyd screamed as he stumbled and flipped down.Lloyd got up and shook his head then looked around and what he saw left him in confusion and awe as he was surrounded by ice from all sides and it was a very silent and terrifying place at the same time it looked like a prison??.

"You are crazy my friend to venture this far from home"

A low and deep voice echoed around Lloyd quickly turned to the source of a new voice then he saw a snake?? But it was very gigantic!!! It was six meters long!! Its scales were dark blue and its head was like a cobra and it was moving and slithering on the ice with great grace and it had two hands!!! In its hand it was holding a golden scepter with a blue jewel

Lloyd: Who are you? Get away from me!!! I command you!!

Lloyd backed away with fear and tension The snake approached him and looked into his eyes and then its eyes started to turn red like a whirlpool shape.

"Don't be afraid look into my eyes You will obey my every command!!!!"

The snake spoke with a magnetic and attractive voice as Lloyd tried to fall under the influence of those eyes but he accidentally slipped off the ice and fell to the ground.

Then the snake looked at his reflection on the ice wall that was behind Lloyd and accidentally hypnotized himself.

Slithura General and leader of the Hypnobrai tribe shook his head in confusion and bewilderment.

Lloyd saw what happened and immediately took the opportunity and said "I will obey your orders??. No, you are the one who will obey me from now on!!!."

Slithura looked at Lloyd then lowered his head and said "We are at your command, my lord".

Lloyd: We ?

Then many snakes appeared that were walking on two legs and their length ranged between two and three meters.

Lloyd looked around in astonishment at the horror of the sight then smiled a crazy smile.

Lloyd: My own army of snakes??!! The ninja will pay the price now Muhahahaha!!!!.

 "At the Monastery of Spinjitzu".

the five ninja finished cleaning up and are now resting in the arcade room.

Po: Well now that I thought about it what did you do with Garmadon's son?

Po asked his comrades.

Kai: That's troublesome boy he started threatening us with bedtime stories if we didn't give him candy

Po: Bedtime stories?

Cole: he means the Serpentine.

Po: What are the Serpentine?

Jay: Wait you don't know about the Serpentine??!!

Po: No not really

Jay: Well the Serpentine are a group of terrifying talking giant snakes that have terrorized Ninjago for decades!!!

 Po look at with surprise and amazement at what he just heard How did his master not tell him about these stories??

Kai: Common for the last time the Serpentine are not real!!!

Zane: The Serpentine are very real Kai and you would be an idiot if you don't believe their existence.

Po: Wait if the Serpentine are real Why have I never seen one before??

Jay: Because they are locked in five different graves , five huge tribes were prevented from gathering and uniting and separated from each other so as not to threaten the security of Ninjago and were locked in five different graves around Ninjago.

Po: Wow, I hope to fight one of the Serpentine.

"Be careful what you wish for, Po. I heard they are strong".

A new voice came and entered the room. The Ninja looked to the source of the voice. There they saw Nya standing near the door.

Jay: Hey, Nya, how are you? Did you get close to breaking your brother's record in the obstacle course?

Nya: I will get there soon.

Kai: In your dreams, sister.

Nya rolled her eyes at her brother's annoying reply.

Nya: anyway I'm going to the Jamanakai village to buy some supplies. Does anyone need anything?

"No, thanks, Nya".

"Okay, bye."

Nya clapped her hands and left.

"Okay", Kai clapped his hands excitedly and then said, "Who is ready to lose to me in a video game?"

Jay: In your dreams, Cuphead, I will crush you!!!.

In the village of Jamanakai, the villagers screamed in terror and ran everywhere.

Nya saw the village in chaos and its people screaming with terror and fear.

"Muhahahaha, be terrified of me, you weaklings. I am Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon!!!".

Nya turned to the source of the voice. Then she saw Lloyd walking with confidence and strength, and he was surrounded by... 

Snakes??!!!

Nya's eyes widened in horror at the sight.

Nya: Oh no!

  At the Monastery

Master Wu was sitting in his room, meditating when he saw through the smoke of spirits.

Lloyd and the Serpentine destroying the Jamanakai Village and stealing the....

Candy's??.

Master Wu forcefully opened his eyes and quickly went out.

"Take this, no, take this hit, taste my sickle!!, death by my spear".

Po: yeah, hahaha, in your faces, I beat you all!.

The five ninja were playing and enjoying their well-deserved day off when Master Wu burst in.

Wu: the Serpentine!! They're back, all the residents of Jamanakai Village are in danger!!!

Cole: Relax sensei there was that boy who...

Wu: the smoke of the spirit does not lie!!!!, An ancient evil has returned!!!.

Kai: guys Nya is there now

Jay: Nya??!!.

The ninja quickly got up and went to the dragon stable Po rode this time with Zane.

Cole: let's do this together!!!.

Kai: is there any other way than that??.

"Ninja Go!!"

The four ninja flew with their dragons and with them Po who was grumbling and asking himself when will he get his own dragon the ninja quickly arrived at the Jamanakai village and jumped over buildings, and arrived at the square in the middle of the village.

"muhahahaha be terrified of me I am Lloyd Garmadon!!!".

the five ninja put on their masks and walked forward Po stood at the front of the group and took out his spear and pointed it at Lloyd

Po: Stop son of Garmadon before someone gets hurt!!!.

Lloyd looked at the ninja and smiled slyly then said "hello ninja you have come just in time!!! My loyal army destroy the ninjas!!!".

Jay: My army??

"Ahhhh sssss!!!"

The ninja heard the sounds of roaring and hissing snakes then they saw many Hypnobrai rushing towards them.

Kai: The Serpentine are real??

Zane: Focus Kai!!!.

Jay: How will we defeat this army!!.

Po: together!!! Now let's kick some snakes' asses!!.

"Ninjago!!!".

The ninja charged forward forcefully and clashed with the Hypnobrai army.

"Ahhh" Po spun around forcefully using Spinjitzu to take down as many Serpentine as possible and at the same time using his Kung Fu and spear skills, and the rest of the ninja fought forcefully too, But the Hypnobrai numbers were too many.

"They are too many!!" Jay shouted in excitement while kicking one of the snakes.

"Let's use our weapons!!" Kai shouted and was about to pull out his fire sword

"No Kai Our weapons are unstable!!! Have you forgotten what happened today at the monastery!!!". Zane shouted worriedly at Kai.

"what should we do then??!!" Cole shouted while punching one of the snakes so hard that it flew and crashed into his comrades.

" guys look!!" Jay shouted in fear and worry. the other ninja stopped fighting and looked in the direction Jay was pointing at then they saw a large snake six meters long and three meters high with two arms and a huge cobra head and red spiral eyes and it was holding a golden scepter in the shape of a snake with a blue pearl.

it was the Hypnobrai general Slithra and standing beside him his right hand Scales, and Lloyd standing in front of them with pride.

"please general reconsider this idea of invading an entire village for a child's candy that's not make any sense!!!" Scales said worriedly to Slithra.

"shut up!!!" Slithra shouted angrily at his subordinate then continued "I'm the general here and you will not question my orders anymore. Is my speech clear??".

Scales lowered his head and said with reverence, "Your command, my lord." Slythra turned to his army that was suffering in front of the ninja, his eyes narrowed with anger.

"Those ninjas are strong. I can't believe my great army is suffering in front of only five people. Well, let's see what they will do in front of their own kind." Slythra thought slyly, with a terrifying smile on his face.

" did that snake just smile at us!!!" Jay shouted in agitation and shock. " guys i really have a bad feeling about this!!!"Cole shouted worriedly at his comrades while Poe's eyes narrowed at Slythra, Lloyd and Scales.

"What are you planning?" Po thought thoughtfully.

"Hibnobrai, back off!!!" Slythra shouted and ordered his men to retreat. The Serpentine stopped their attack in perfect unison and surrounded the five ninja.

"My servants, attack!!!". The Ninjas froze and were surprised.

"My servants???" Then they heard the sounds of many footsteps. The Ninjas turned to the source of the sound.

Then they saw all the inhabitants of the Jamanakai village going towards them like zombies. Their eyes were red and curled.

"That snake has taken over all the inhabitants of the village!!!. Kai said in shock and anger.

"How will we fight the people that we must protect??!!" Cole asked with worry.

Po looked around then turned to his comrades and said "we will not". Po put his spear on his back and continued. "We will withdraw!! And think of a plan!!".

"Retreat??!! A ninja never quiet!!!. No to withdrawal. We will fight!!!". Kai pulled out his golden sword and then his sword glowed brightly and the temperature rose dramatically.

"Kai!!!" Po shouted angrily.

Kai looked into Po's red eyes and saw in them a great determination he had never seen before.

"Lower your sword Kai Don't be reckless There are innocents people in danger!!!" Po said to Kai with a gloomy expression.

"He's right Kai we need to retreat and think of an alternative solution!!". Zane stepped forward and said to Kai in a worried voice.

"Tshh okay" Kai muttered in annoyance and put his sword to his back again.

"guys they are getting too close!!!" Jay shouted worriedly to his comrades.

"Leave it to me" Cole stepped forward and slammed his hands on the ground. Then a large cloud of dust rose and covered everyone's vision When the smoke cleared the ninja disappeared as if they had never been there.
