Yeah, this one is a little short, I wasn't sure what to really add here. But hey, we get a little Lloyd and Nova fluff. :3
____________________________________________________________
*Jumping to Lloyd and Nova in the training room.*
Lloyd in a western drawl. "Serpentine, it's time I Spinjitzu you back into the filthy holes you came from. Ninja kick! Tiger claw! Ninja, go!" He attempts Spinjitzu but falls.
Nova giggled a little from where she was standing.
Pythor laughs; turns visible. "What a joke. You were always a boy who chased stupid dreams."
Nova narrowed her eyes at him as she carefully summoned her dual blades.
"Pythor! How did you get aboard?" Lloyd asked.
Pythor picks Lloyd up. "You think I would allow the ninja to steal the Fangblades from me?"
"Put him down, or I'll make you." Nova warned him.
Pythor simply laughs and uses his tail to knock Nova off her feet.
"Ugh! You'll never get away with it! Hey—" Lloyd exclaimed, but Pythor puts tape over his and Nova's mouth, and ties both of them to a punching bag.
"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. As they say, out of sight, out of mind." said Pythor before he disappears and laughs.
Nova very much was letting out a lot of swear words while having a tape over her mouth while trying to get free.
Lloyd manages to get both of them free and uncovers the tape from both of their mouths. They then reaches the intercom.
"Pythor's on board!" Lloyd and Nova shouted as their message echoed over the ship, the ninja look back to find Pythor with the Fangblades in his hands.
"Sorry if I don't lend a hand, but I'm really in a rush. Got this whole Devourer thing going on." Pythor chuckles. "Toodaloo." He laughs and turns to find Lloyd with a Bo staff and Nova with her sword.
"Miss us?"
"Where do you think you're going?"
"Ah. A little cliché, don't you think?" Pythor asked.
"Uh, cliché?" Lloyd asked, confused.
"I wouldn't expect a child to understand." said Pythor.
"Hey, I've grown up a lot." Lloyd and Nova attacks him, but Pythor dodges.
"Hm, puny strength, no fundamentals, sloppy footwork. You think you can defeat me?" said Pythor.
"We are not trying to defeat you. We are just trying to keep you busy until the cavalry arrives." said Lloyd as Nya, in her Samurai Mech, walks up to Pythor. Lloyd kicks him and Nova gets a hit on one of his arms with her sword. "Haha, I hit him. I hit him, guys!"
Nova smiled and gave him a high-five.
"Oh, as much as I would like to play with your overgrown toys, I have a ride to catch." Pythor glares at Nova before he jumps off the Bounty and lands on a Rattlecopter.
"No!"
"Get him!"
"So long, suckers!"
"Motherfucking Pythor!" Nova growled angrily.
*Later, as the ninja prepare to go after the Serpentine, Lloyd brings the golden weapons.*
"If Pythor returns the Fangblades to the City of Ouroboros, he'll awaken the Great Devourer." said Wu.
"Well, we're not gonna let that happen." said Nya.
"Oh, what about me and Nova?" Lloyd asked.
"We need someone to stay with the Bounty." said Kai.
"But did you see me kick him in the face? I'm an asset. I kick butt. And face." said Lloyd.
Nova was shaking her head as she rested an arm on his shoulder. "Yeah, and did you see me giving that big worm a nice cut on his arm with my sword." She said.
"Patience, Lloyd. You're too important now that you're the chosen one. And Nova, you're still a ninja-in-training" said Kai.
"Patience, hmm? Ah, the student has become the teacher." said Wu.
"What do you say, we play a little catch-up?" said Jay.
"It's my favorite game." said Cole.
Nova let out a heavy sigh. "Looks like it's just you and me now, greenbean." She said.
"Looks like it is, shrimp." said Lloyd.
"Why you!" said Nova as she went to give him a noogie. "I'm at least taller than you, so if anyone here is a shrimp, it's you."
Lloyd quickly dodges her before going to the wheel, laughing a little. "Fine, then I'm just gonna call you ummm.....Ocea." He said, blushing a little.
"Ocea?" Nova asked confused.
"Yeah, you told me your last name was Ocean....so if I removed the "n" it would be Ocea." Lloyd tried explaining while trying to keep his focus on following the ninja, as he was controlling the ship.
Nova started blushing at that and got a bit shy. "W-Well, when you put it like that, I guess I don't mind it." she said slowly, looking away. "B-but I'm only allowing you to call me that....a-and no one else." She said, but was too shy to look at him.
*Later, they reach the ninja and Lloyd anchors the train.*
"Lloyd! Nova!"
"Hook, line, and sinker." said Lloyd and Nova in unison.
"To Ouroboros as fast as you can." said Kai.
"Aye, aye, captain." said Lloyd.
"Ninja, go!"
"You're getting slow, old man." said Pythor. They crash near the city's entrance. Pythor gets to the statue. "Finally, the Great Devourer will be awakened." He inserts the Fangblades. "Perfect." He laughs. "It's working! Awaken, great one! Awaken the insatiable appetite of the beast that will consume all of Ninjago!"
"What have you done!?" shouted Wu.
"Don't you see? Releasing the Great Devourer is the only way to get back at the people of Ninjago for locking my kind underground for all those years. We should have been the ones ruling the surface, not you!" shouted Pythor.
"You are playing with a power that cannot be controlled. It will consume everything, even the Serpentine." said Wu.
"Unleash, Great Devourer, and be free to do my bidding, for I have awakened you!" ordered Pythor.
"Okay, Lloyd. Put us down right after that truck." said Kai.
"Wait up, guys." said Lloyd when the statue crumbles.
"No, no. It isn't inside the statue? Then where is it?" said Pythor as the ground beneath him rumbles. "Aah! It's so big!"
"You shall stay to see what you have done." said Wu.
"Aah! Let me go, you fool! Don't you see? It's underneath us!" said Pythor.
"This is our destiny." said Wu.
"What's going on? Who's that creature underground?" Kai asked.
"You must do everything in your power to stop the Great Devourer. Go, ninja! Go!" shouted Wu.
"No, Sensei." said Kai as the Devourer lunges at Wu and Pythor.
Nova, still on the ship, knew what was coming next and to be honest, she was very scared to see that snake, after all, there is a very big difference in size when you see it on a TV screen, or in real life.
