Chapter 30 - Season 2: The Last Hope

This chapter isn't gonna be that long.

____________________________________________________________

*With Nova in the middle of the island.*

"What the fuck, what the fuck, what the FUCK!" repeated Nova going back and forth at the lake she was at.

"I can't go back looking like this, the whole team would freak out, and if they put the pieces together that I'm the shadow that the motherfucking Overlord made. They will see me as an enemy, maybe even a spy." Nova was panicking on what she was gonna do.

She kept trying to think on what she was gonna do until an idea finally popped up.

"If I can use my shadow powers to sneak into the ship, I could grab some bandages and wrap it around the right side of my face, and just tell them that one of the stone warriors got me in the face. I've been very good at lying through a lot so far, so they shouldn't question me at all with this."

"And the purple tips of my hair aren't that noticeable, so I shouldn't have to worry about that for the time being." Nova mumbled to herself.

"..... But then there are my stupid fangs.....yeah, I'm gonna have to keep my mask on for the rest of this fight." Nova thought as she was poking her upper fangs that were poking out even if she closed her mouth.

"Okay, so the plan is simple, cover half of my face in bandages, lie my ass off and keep my mask on for the rest of the battle." Nova mumbled in determination.

*Back at destiny's bounty, The ninja are "practicing" their new powers on the shore of the Island.*

"Order up. cream pie. Served well done!" Kai uses his on a coconut projectile. Everyone groans and laughs.

"It is good to have our powers back." said Zane.

"Yup, you're right. And since we've all been working on our witty quips to follow every cool thing we do, I'd say we got this final battle in the bag. Or should I say..." Jay signals Cole to launch another coconut. "... I'd be shocked if we lose! " He uses his Lightning on the coconut. He laughs as it explodes.

"Enough! Are you trying to reveal our hidden location?" said Wu.

"Uh, sorry, Sensei. We were just practicing our cool new Elemental Blades." said Kai.

"And our witty quips." said Jay.

"Be wary of overconfidence, ninja. While it is true, your powers can defeat the Stone Army, only Lloyd alone has the power to defeat Garmadon. When it is all over, then we will see who laughs last." said Wu.

"Yes, Sensei."

Nova traveled through the shadows and was able to get inside the ship and grab some bandages without being noticed, before using the shadows to get back to the forest and began wrapping half of her head in bandages.

"Okay, that should do it.." Nova thought before activating her mask and then walked to the shore where the others were.

"The scrolls say that when the Helmet of Darkness is bequeathed to its rightful ruler, the Celestial Clock will count down to the activation of an unspeakable weapon. The first sign that the Final Battle between good and evil has begun." Misako explained to the others.

"Did you just say "unspeakable weapon?" Kai asked.

"Uh, I'm still stuck on what "bequeathed" means." said Jay.

"Go on, Misako. Don't let us interrupt you. How do we stop the Final Battle?" said Cole.

"There is nothing here that explains what would happen if the Helmet of Darkness is returned." said Misako.

"Interesting. Remove the helmet, the clock starts. Put it back, the clock stops." said Wu.

"And the Final Battle never starts." said Lloyd.

"Bequeathed, anyone? Is anybody gonna help me out with that?" Jay asked.

Kai ignores Jay. "Uh, that sounds great and all, and I know we have our new powers, but you expect us to get past his whole army of Stone Warriors and pluck the helmet off his head?"

"My brother's right. They're good, but they're not that good." said Nya.

"I know. And that is why I am going to do it. I'll just need a little help." Misako calls the ninja to the side. "In order to get past their guards, we need to first get control..."

Wu turned to Lloyd. "I'm sorry, Lloyd. This mission isn't for you."

"But I'm all powered up, I can help." said Lloyd.

"We mustn't let you and your father come face to face yet. We're trying to prevent the Final Battle, not welcome it." said Wu.

"Yes, Sensei." said Lloyd with a small sigh.

"Don't be so upset, greenie." said Nova, coming out of the forest and over to him.

"Nova! What happened to your face!?" shouted Lloyd in a panic as he ran over to her along with the rest of the team.

"Wow, couldn't have asked in a nice way." said Nova, a little annoyed but shook her head.

"But to answer your rude question, one of the stone warriors got me right in the face. Giving me a bad wound that I needed to clean and cover up with bandages." Nova explained.

"Where did you get the bandages from?" Jay asked.

"I had some on me, for back up. You never know." She simply answered.

"Why do you have your mask on? You haven't had it on for any of our other fights?" Zane asked.

"After that stone warrior got me, I didn't take any chances." She said, looking at the group with a small sigh. "Are we done with the interrogation because I really need to sit down for a bit, and I'm pretty sure you guys had a plan to work on."

*Some time later when Garmadon's mech catches the Earth Driller with the ninja inside.*

Nya trying to break the glass. "Ugh! It's stuck!" Garmadon grabs them.

"I think I'm gonna be sick." said Cole.

"I finally have you, Ninja, in the palm of my hand." Garmadon laughs.

"Let them go!" Lloyd shoots the mech with Energy.

"Ow!"

"Lloyd, be careful." said Nya.

*Garmadon gets out of his broken mech, too weak to fight back.*

"Holy cannoli, Lloyd and Garmadon in a face-off! Take the shot, Lloyd!" said Jay.

"He's vulnerable!" said Cole.

"Do not hesitate!" said Zane.

"Strike now!" said Kai.

"No Lloyd don't! We are trying to avoid a battle, not start one!" shouted Nova as she had been following right behind him, even though she should have stayed back to rest.

*Garmadon coughs.*

"I'm sorry, Father. You leave me no choice. It is our destiny." Lloyd makes an Energy ball but doesn't fire.

"No! What is he doing?" said Jay.

"They're coming." said Misako.

*Garmadon laughs.*

"Lloyd, we need to move!" said Misako.

"The clock is not too far from here." said Nya.

"Okay!" said Lloyd.

"Better hop in, Lloyd." said Nya.

"Let's get a move on here, people!" shouted Nova.

Lloyd jumping in. "Go!" The ninja leave as Garmadon watches them escape.

*The ninja arrive at the clock.*

"Wow. This clock is a mechanical masterpiece." said Nya.

"You're welcome to dismantle it once we stop it." said Misako.

"I'll just destroy it, just to be safe." said Nova.

"There's only a couple minutes left!" said Jay.

"Everyone, look for the helmet's perch! It could be anywhere." said Misako.

"You don't know how to return the helmet?" asked Wu.

"Less talking, more searching!" said Nova.

"It has a resting place somewhere." Misako places the helmet. "Oh, that didn't work. Maybe here."

"Perhaps I found the perch! Ugh, no. Wrong place." said Zane.

"Oh, what about here?" said Jay.

"Could this be the place?" Kozu pushes Wu. "Oof!"

"No!" shouted Kai.

"There's only thirty seconds left. I believe it's time to die—" said Kozu as Nova used a pole that pushes the helmet away. "No!"

"Ooh, sorry, did you need that?" said Nova with a smirk, standing in the way.

"T-the hei—"

"If I hear that word one more fucking time, I'm gonna turn every stone warrior to dust!" shouted Nova, annoyed.

"Get the helmet!" said Misako.

"Right!" Cole gets it, but drops it.

"Ah! The helmet's perch!" said Misako.

"There's only ten seconds left!" said Wu.

"I'll get it." said Misako as a Warrior tries to stop her, but Nova kicks him.

"Not on my watch!" said Nova.

"Hurry, Misako!" shouted Wu.

"Okay!" Misako puts the helmet on the perch, and the clock stops.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" shouted Kozu.

"Ah! It worked!" said Lloyd.

"We did it!" said Nya.

*The Ninja cheer and the Stone Army growls angrily, but the clock starts again, blaring a horn.*

"No!"

*Kozu laughs evilly.*

"The Horns of Destruction. We were too late." said Misako.

"Overlord, what has happened?" asked Garmadon.

"It has started." said the Overlord.

Nova glared over the floating orb that was the Overlord. "Bitch." She whispered.

Garmadon sees a beam of light from the clock. "What is that thing?"

*The ninja try to fight but fell down a cliff. Nya screams as she and Nova are the only two up there.*

"Nya!"

"Jay!"

"Sis!"

"Nova!"

"Lloyd!"

*Kozu grabs Nya while two stone warriors grabs Nova.*

"Let them go!" shouted Jay.

"Or what? You will make a big splash?" said Kozu.

"The ground!" said Cole.

"No, no!" repeated Jay.

*The ninja fall down in the Endless Sea, and Garmadon and the Overlord walk back to their camp.*

"Behold, the ultimate weapon. I give you ... Garmatron!" said the Overlord.

"It's more beautiful than I could ever imagine!" Garmadon and the Overlord start laughing.
