Girl Ninjago

Way of the Ninja

In the ancient land of Ninjago, in the small village of Ignacia, a figure wearing a white robe and an oriental hat was walking down a path with a bamboo staff. They stopped to look in the distance the Four Weapons Blacksmith shop. The shop was run by a spikey brown-haired teen named Kai and his short black-haired sister, Nya.

"To forge the perfect weapon, you first need the right metal and plenty of heat," Kai said to himself. He had just finished forging a new sword and put it in the water to cool it off. "Cool it off . . . and Presto!"

He sighs in disappointment as his sword got tangled up after pulling it out. His sister laughs at his efforts.

"You made it too quickly, Kai. Be patient. If father was still here, he'd say. . ."

"I know . . . no matter how much fire you have, experience isn't something you learn overnight. That may work for you, Nya, but I'm gonna be a better blacksmith than Dad ever was."

The mysterious robed figured had entered the shop, revealing themselves to be a middle-aged lady with glasses and long, braided, grey hair.

"Hmm . . . your metal is loud and heavy. Useful to slow one down. Useless in the art of stealth. All tools for a samurai, but nothing for a Ninja?"

"Ninja? Huh, you're a long way from finding a Ninja in these parts, old lady," said Kai. "And the shop is called "Four Weapons," not "For Browsing." Either buy something or go pedal your insults somewhere else!"

"Hmm . . . too bad. Thought I'd find something special here," said the mystery lady.

Nya motions to Kai to show her around.

"If it's something special you're looking for, let me sh.. . ." He turned around to show her one of their samurai helmets, only to find that the woman had vanished.

"What is it?"

"She was just . . . forget it."

The two were about to get back to work, when a dark cloud then appears over Ignacia. The citizens were working in the rice field when they saw the cloud heralding the arrival of the Skulkin army in numerous vehicles. In the big Skull Truck were three Skulkin Generals. The big one was Samukai, and the other two were his lackies, Kruncha and Nuckal.

"Oh, oh. Let me go first! Please, oh please? I'm dying to go down there," Nuckal plead excitedly to Samukai.

"You nitwit, you're already dead! Try to control yourself in front of Master Samukai," said Kruncha. "With all due respect, last time . . . you did say . . . I could go first," he then said to Samukai in a different tone.

"Sorry boys, this one is mine," said Samukai. "Just remember what we're after and find that map. ATTACK!"

All the Skulkin Vehicles accelerate in full speed. The citizens of Ignacia cheer and charge at the oncoming trucks.

"Boo!" Samukao announced.

The citizens turned and run scared. Nya noticed them from the shop.

"What are they?"

"I don't know. Stay here," Kai told his sister, as he put on samurai armor.

He went out to battle the Skulkin warriors that stopped in front of their shop. He was able to hold his own, when one of the skeletons decapitated themselves and bit Kai's foot.

"Ow! Bite this!" he yelled as kicked the Skulkin's head away over the shop.

As two skeletons clapped for the extraordinary performance, Nya snuck up behind them and performed a stealth attack.

"I thought I told you to stay back!" Kai said to his sister.

"And what? Let you have all the fun?"

As the siblings fight the Skeleton Army, Kruncha and Nuckal snuck inside the shop unnoticed and start looking at the merchandise inside. Kruncha looked around, while Nuckal tried on one of the samurai helmet and checked out in the shop's reflective shield.

"You're not looking hard enough!" yelled Kruncha, as he threw another helmet at Nuckal.

"Ow! You're not looking hard enough!" said Nuckal, as he threw a helmet at Kruncha in retaliation.

As the two Skulkin Generals continue tussling each other, they caused the shop's sign to knock down, revealing a piece of parchment in the back.

"The map!" they both yelled.

Back outside, Kai finished the last of the Skulkin warriors when Samukai approached him. He takes out his weapon while Samukai takes out his own, revealing to have four arms.

"Oops. . ." realizing how handicapped he was.

Samukai easily disarmed Kai and knocked him down without a problem. As Samukai was about to give him a deadly blow, a voice cried out.

"NINJA, GO!"

A small, shining, green colored tornado appeared and attacked Samukai. It hit him with a fury of blows, until it dissolved, revealing the old lady in the white robe from earlier.

"Sensei Misako!" Samukai said. "Your Spinjitzu looks rusty."

"Nothing like bone to sharpen its edge, Samukai," she responds.

Samukai noticed Nya fending off for herself and a water tank above her. He threw his weapons at Misako, she dodged them, and they destroyed one of the support legs to the tank. Nya noticed it timbering towards her.

"Oh no!"

"Ninja, go!" Misako yelled, as she performs Spinjitzu and rescued Nya.

Samukai retreated into his Skull truck with the map, but not before leaving Master Misako a message: "Lord Wu says take the boy!"

Misako was shocked from what she had hear. "Lord Wu?"

Kruncha launched the truck's bone hand at the knocked down Kai. He tried to get back up, but the weight of his armor was keeping him down. The hand was able to grab Kai and pull him towards them.

"Kai!" Nya yelled.

The Skeleton Army escape with Kai in their hands, leaving Nya saddened and alone.

"They took Kai..." she said.

"Like I said before. 'Useless'," says Misako, as she threw back a samurai helmet she was carrying.

Nya was furious. "Argh! You could've done something! You could've used your . . . Twistitzu or your. . ."

"'Spinjitzu!'"

"But you did nothing! And now they're gone." Her tone gets calmer and saddening. "I'm going after them. I got to get my brother back!

"I'm afraid where they go, a mortal cannot. That was Samukai, king of the Underworld. And if it's true that he's carrying orders for Lord Wu, then I fear things are much worse than I ever thought."

"Lord Wu?! Underworld?! What do we have that's so important to them and why would they take my brother?!"

"What's so important? How about everything in Ninjago itself? Long before time had a name, Ninjago was created by the First Spinjitzu Master, by using the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu! The Scythe of Quakes, the Blade of Amber, the Shurikens of Ice and the Trident of Water! Weapons so powerful, no one can handle all of their power at once! When he passed away, his two sons swore to protect them, but the youngest was consumed by darkness and wanted to possess them. A battle between brothers broke out and the youngest was struck down and banished to the Underworld. Peace returned and the older brother hid the weapons, but knowing his younger brother's relentless ambition for power, he placed a guardian to protect them. It was then that he decided to leave on a Quest of Enlightenment. He entrusted the location of the weapons and their safety to someone very special to him. And for fear of their own demise, a map for an honest man to hide. That honest man was your father. The younger brother is Lord Wu and I need to find those weapons before he does."

"Whoa! That 'is' important. So, wait, you're the person the elder brother trusted the weapons to? You must've been pretty special."

"Very. The elder brother's name was Garmadon. He was a great warrior, and a charming husband."

Nya was surprised. "You were married to the older brother?! Wait a minute! Is that why you came here? Looking for the map?"

"No. I came for something greater. You. Since my brother-in-law Wu cannot enter this realm, it's obvious he has struck a deal with Samukai. If he were to collect all four weapons, even my husband nor I would not be able to stop him again. But you, you have proven to be a fine warrior, young lady. I saw how you would remain calm and adept during the heat of battle You got the flow inside. I will train you to harness it. Feel it. Use it. To become a Spinjitzu Master."

"Wow! This is an amazing offer and I am quite honored. But. . . I'm afraid I have my own family issues to deal with. I'm sorry, but I gotta go save my brother."

As she tried to walk away, Master Misako knocked Nya down and held her down with her staff.

"Ha ha. And how do you plan to do that? You are not even ready to face my pinky toe. I am very sorry for what happened to your brother. But if you ever want to get him back, you must control the flow that is inside you. Only when you become a Spinjitzu Master, will you be able to face . . . Lord Wu.

Nya sighs in defeat. "Okay. Then when do we start?"

The next day, Nya struggled to climb the side of a mountain, while Master Misako climbed it easily to reach the Monastery of Spinjitzu on top.

Nya was exhausted from the mountain climbing, as Misako was sit and waiting for her. "How long is training gonna be?! Aren't we in a bit of a rush since they have the map?!"

"Patience." The two have entered into the monastry's courtyard. "You will be ready when you are ready. Not a minute sooner."

"A monastery? You expecting to learn to fight in a place of peace?"

"Not fight. Train. In order to become a true Ninja, first you must be able to see what others do not."

"Well yeah. But there's nothing here."

"Exactly." Master Misako clicked a small dragon statue next to her, which reveals a secret button in its mouth. She pushes that brought up all the training equipment in the monastery.

Nya was amazed. "Whoa! Is this gonna teach me how to do that cool move?" She got on top of one the training poles and performed a crane stance. Then the pole slowly descended.

"Oh dear. . ."

"Uh oh."

The pole's spring mechanism launch Nya up launched to the dragon symbol and fell back on the ground. She landed near the front step, where Misako just happened to be sitting with a tea set.

"Complete the training course before I finish my tea. Then we will see if you are ready." Nya watched as her teacher made herself tea, drinking it up in one big sip, and gave a relaxing sigh of delight. "Today you failed." She backflipped up into the building. "Tomorrow you will try again."

"Failed?! What?!" Nya stood up surprised and confused. "But I didn't even start to. . ."

Misako closed the door of the monastery. But Nya could still hear her voice through the door. "Patience."

For the next couple of days, Nya trained time and time again, but doesn't succeed her expectations, making Master Misako fail her over and over again. Whether it was getting hit by the training dummy, or bouncing off the poles, or being attacked by the swinging sandbag.

One day, a determined Nysa attempted the training procedure once again as Master Misako watched. Seeing how Nya has been going through the course more successfully, Misako tried to make her tea faster. Just as she was about to drink, Nya knocked it off her hands by throwing her wooden sword halfway through the course in order for her not to fail her. When Misako poured some more tea into another cup, she notices that Nya was nowhere to be found.

"Was that one sugar . . . or two?"

She was surprised to find that Nya was sitting right next to her, holding out the sugar bowl. Misako was impressed with Nya's progress. She got up and went back inside the monastery.

"So, am I gonna learn this Spinjitzu I've been hearing about?" asked Nya.

"You already have. Your final test comes tomorrow." Misako closed the door. "My advice is to get some sleep."

Nya was left outside in a pondering.

Later that night, three unknown Ninja entered the monastery as Misako sleeps.

Nya was in her room preparing for bed. She was in her pajamas, brushing her teeth when she thinking about what Misako said earlier.

"Your final test comes tomorrow. My advice is to get some sleep."

"Tomorrow is it then," Nya said to herself. "I'm coming for you, bro."

She started doing a practice fighting, using her electric toothbrush as a weapon. But she didn't notice that the three black Ninja has successfully snuck into her room.

"Take this!" The first Ninja entered mysteriously on the front door wielding a sword. "And this!" The second Ninja entered towards the corner of the room possessing a pair of shurikens. "And this!" Nya then stopped when she stumbled across the third Ninja standing in front of her, who was holding a scythe.

The three Ninja surrounded Nya, preparing to attack.

"Uh oh!" said Nya, realizing she in trouble.
