A stupid argument in the morning.
Between the Overlord or the First Spinjitzu Master, who would you rather swear and curse at?
____________________________________________________________
*Early morning.*
Nova was sleeping peacefully by the fire enjoying the warmth, only for her sleep to be ruined as her blanket got yanked off and she was shaken away.
"What?" Nova asked in a grumpy tone glaring at Faith.
The ninja except Jay had been a little nervous for her outburst knowing how she was when woken up early, but by some luck she didn't have one this time for their sake. A grumpy Nova is a scary Nova.
Faith puts out the fire. "The sun is up, we must go." Faith yanks off Jay's cover.
"Heyyy. Whatever happened to breakfast being the most important meal?" Jay asked before looking over at Nova a little nervous on how grumpy she was since she wasn't a morning person.
"We're getting closer to the Firstbourne's nest. We will eat when the Son of the Spinjitzu Master has the Dragon Armor, and we are all in Ninyeego." said Faith.
"It's Ninjago. It's really not that hard to pronounce." said Zane.
"Oh, to be back home, in a real bed." said Kai.
"Robbing banks and stealing stuff." said Nova in a joking manner.
"No!" shouted the ninja clearly not thinking it was a joke.
"Mmm, with real food." said Jay.
"And cake. Why did I ever give up cake?" said Cole.
Jay snorts. "Because your body is a temple."
"What is this, cake?" Faith asked.
"Imagine all that is good, baked into warm and moist. Then add a sweet, sugary frosting, that's cake." Cole explained.
"...Brother that is the worst way to explain what cake is." said Nova facepalming herself while still wearing her mask.
"Oh yeah? Then you try explaining what cake is." said Cole crossing his arms.
Nova glared at him as she put her hands on her hips. "Fine I will. A cake is any of a variety of breads, shortened or unshortened, usually shaped by the tin in which it is baked, or, more specifically, a sweetened bread, often rich or delicate."
"That's an even worse explanation." said Cole.
"No it's not."
"Yes it is."
"Not it isn't."
"Yes it is."
"No it isn't!"
"Guys please drop it already. This isn't something we should be arguing about." said Kai.
"You sound excited, but are you ready for what lies ahead." said Faith.
"You explained that Firstbourne is waiting for the return of the First Spinjitzu Master, reunited with the son would be a good thing." said Zane.
"And what if it is not? Coming face to face with a dragon is one thing, but facing the Mother of all dragons is a test you cannot fail. Our chains are our only means of survival in this realm. We live and die by these iron bonds and are mastery of these things." Faith hands Kai a chain gun. "Let me see you chain that rock. Don't worry, it will not move, it should be easy."
"Yeah, yeah. I got it. Watch and learn." Kai shoots the chain, but misses and hits Cole instead.
Jay laughs. "At least you got the Master of Rock." He continues to laugh with Nova joining in too.
"Well, it's harder than it looks." said Kai.
"Perhaps, we should work on this." The four ninjas and Nova position around a rock.
"Alright, first one to wrap their chain around that rock, wins." Everyone shoots their chain, but only Zane succeeds. "Uh..."
".....Well that's just bullshit." said Nova, a little annoyed.
"Did I win?" Zane asked.
"I... didn't know you were competing." said Kai.
"Uh, yeah, I thought you were the judge." said Jay.
"Oh, very well." said Zane as Jay, Cole, Nova, and Kai shoots their chain. Kai succeeds.
"Master of Fi-re is now Master of—" Kai reels his chain and crashes on the rock.
"You need to learn too, son of the Spinjitzu Master." said Faith as Zane hands his chain to her, then to Wu. "We are only as strong as our weakest link."
"C'mon, Master. Give it a try." said Cole so Wu attempts but barely shoots his chain. Kai, Jay, Nova and Cole snicker.
"We don't stop until everyone can do it." Kai, Jay, Cole, Nova, and Wu train. "Together." Everyone eventually succeeds, but Wu. "Not good enough." Wu reels his chain back in, hitting him. He throws it down in frustration.
"Let me handle this." Wu sits down and Kai follows. "You know what you need? Confidence." said Kai.
"You mean cocky, like you?" Wu asked.
"No, not cocky. Ahem. Confidence. You know the feeling you can do anything if you put your mind to it. There was a time I didn't think I could be a ninja. But you pushed me to be better, now I'm pushing you." Kai nudges Wu. "Huh? Huh? Haha. Look, I know you can do it, but what matters most is what you think."
"Again." The ninja and Nova shoot and Wu joins in. They hear Stormbringer roar. "Now let's see if the Son of the Spinjitzu Master can ride a dragon." The ninja, Nova and Faith follow the dragon. "She smells your Oni blood, this will not be easy. I'll keep her close to the ground."
"He isn't the only one here with oni blood that she can smell." Nova thought nervously to herself.
"Alright, guys. We need to slow the dragon down, and get Wu on." said Kai.
"Easier said than done." said Nova.
Zane wraps his chain around the dragon's neck but the dragon electrifies the chain and Zane. He releases the chain due to his shock.
"Aim for her wings. Stay away from her jaw. Work together." Kai, Jay, Nova, and Cole all wrap their chains around the dragon. "Don't think."
"You can do it." said Kai.
"Go Wu! Go!" shouted Nova.
"Ride it, son of the Spinjitzu Master." Wu climbs on the chain to the dragon and stands on it.
"I'm doing it... I'm doing it!" Wu cheered.
"Woohoo!"
Cole simultaneously. "Nice one, Wu!" Stormbringer breaks free. Eventually, Wu loses hold and plummets down. "Wu!"
Faith manages to catch him and rejoins with the other ninja. The Lightning Dragon gives its last roar.
"I did it. I did it!" said Wu, smiling.
"You may not be ready to face Firstbourne, but you are starting to look like a Dragon Rider." said Faith.
"....What is this? How to train your dragon?" Nova thought with a raised eyebrow when she said Dragon Rider.
*Some time later, the stranded ninja and Nova look at a map.*
"To get to the Dragon Armor, we need first to get past this mountain." said Faith as Chopper blades and the Dragon Hunters' vehicles are heard in distance. Faith gasps. "We were followed." Everyone immediately races to their vehicles.
"I want Heavy Metal alive. As for the rest, I want their heads!" shouted Iron Baron.
"We'll lose them in there!" Wu points to a cave.
"Looks like his instincts kicked in." said Jay as everyone is able to enter the cave except Iron Baron's Chopper Blade. Jet Jack streams ahead.
"You think you can outrun us?!" Jet Jack sees Faith without her helmet. "Heavy Metal... you're like... me."
"Not like you. Better!" Faith steers away.
Jet Jack crashes into a rock but recovers and flies back to Iron Baron. "You allowed her to be your Number Two? Why not me?!"
"How about this: first to capture her gets the position. Now go!" shouted Iron Baron before Jet Jack flies off.
"Did you hear that, Muzzle? I could be his Number Two." said Daddy No Legs.
"Bad instincts, Wu. You have very bad instincts." said Jay.
"You shouldn't have jinxed it in the first place Jay." said Nova, shaking her head.
"Hold on." said Cole.
The rocks fall, covering the path. The Dieselnaut breaks through and catches up to Faith and Wu. Iron Baron jumps on to their vehicle. Wu attempts to fight him, but Iron Baron shoots his chain at him, causing him to fall.
"No!"
Iron Baron steals Dragon Blade. "Who wields the Dragon Blade now, Heavy Metal?"
"It's Faith!" She attempts to take back the Dragon Blade, but fails. Iron Baron tries to strike Faith with the sword, but ends up striking the vehicle. Faith gets out and reaches for Wu. "I'm not going to lose the son of the First Spinjitzu Master yet."
Iron Baron was shocked. "Son of the First Spinjitzu Master?" He comes at them with his sword, but Faith pushes her foot on the vehicle's control, causing Iron Baron to lose balance and roll past them. Faith and Wu jump onto Kai and Cole's vehicle, with Nova in it. Iron Baron jumps on the Dieselnaut and Faith's vehicle crashes, blowing up.
"Wu was right. There's a way out." said Kai.
"I swear to the motherfucking Overlord, if we don't get out of this one I'm gonna kill someone." said Nova.
"Nova please don't swear on the Overlord. We don't need bad luck right now." said Kai looking at her.
"Would you rather I'm swearing and cursing on the First Spinjitzu Master?" Nova asked, giving him a questionable look.
"....Never mind, you keep swearing on the Overlord." said Kai.
"Hold on." said Cole.
"We'll make Heavy Metal pay, sir." Otto Pilot.
"Forget Heavy Metal! Get me the boy!" shouted Iron Baron.
"We'll never outrun them. We need to stop the Dieselnaut." said Faith.
"How about we take it? She taught us to thread iron, didn't she? Work together!" said Cole.
*Kai, Jay, Nova, Wu, and Zane shoot their chains. Kai eventually succeeds.*
"Awesome!" Kai cheered.
Faith turned to Wu. "Just like the Dragon."
"Remember, confidence!" shouted Kai as Wu jumps on the chain and runs across.
"They think they can take my reign!" shouted Iron Baron.
Wu trips, catching the chain in time for support, and continues climbing up on the Dieselnaut. Daddy No Legs jumps at Wu while Muzzle mumbles. Wu dodges and kicks him off the Dieselnaut. Wu kicks Muzzle off the Dieselnaut. Muzzle rolls until a stop while the Hunted vehicles pass over him. Arkade looks back and sees Wu.
"Get out!" shouted Wu.
"Make me, kid!" Arkade leaps out of his seat, getting ready to fight Wu. Kai catches him with his chain.
"It's all yours!" Wu takes control while the others jump from their vehicles to the Dieselnaut.
Jay accidently trips, but grabs hold of the Dieselnaut, letting Cole, Nova and Zane get on. "Haha! We should teach him how to drive next."Jay senses unbalance and climbs on the Dieselnaut.
Cole spots the Chopper Blade. "Uh, oh!" He sees Scar the Skullbreaker's vehicle driving up. Cole climbs up to Arkade's place. Everyone sees Skullbreaker's vehicle get hit and look up at Cole in surprise.
"Whoa!"
"Yes!"
"Awsome!"
Cole turns his metal hook at the Chopper Blade. "Now I've got you." Iron Baron looks on in fear. Cole hits the tail of the Chopper Blade and it spirals down to the ground.
"Yeah!"
"Haha!"
"Wohoo!"
Cole climbs down from his seat. Dragon Hunters immediately attach their vehicles' chains to the Dieselnaut. "Uh, oh!" He runs to the front of the Dieselnaut.
Kai turns to Wu. "I'll take it from here." Faith runs to the back of the Dieselnaut and immediately starts removing the chains with her feet.
Jet Jack sees an opportunity to seize Faith and take her position. "Finally, I have you." She captures Faith and drags her over the Dieselnaut. Faith grabs onto the Dieselnaut parts. "Whoa!"
"Oh!" Faith grabs a pipe on the Dieselnaut.
"No!" Jet Jack pulls on the chain, trying to get Faith to let go. Wu spots Faith in danger and tries to reach her.
"Huh?"
"Baron doesn't know where the armor is." said Faith while the Dragon Hunters continue to chain the Dieselnaut. "But you do! Go!"
"I won't leave you! I have to have Faith! I need you!" shouted Wu.
"You need the Dragon Armor!" Faith grabs on to the screw that connects the two parts of the Dieselnaut. She takes it out as Jet Jack lifts her up.
"No!" Wu shouted while Jet Jack looks on in surprise. The Dieselnaut splits.
Iron Baron screaming. "No!"
Zane, Cole, Nova, Jay, and Wu look back as Kai drives on.
