Next: not many people are reading and I miscalculated how long it takes to write things so I'm now 2 seasons ahead...so I might stop. First: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1229098916/ Previous: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1230346465/ Eight Fates, a Ninjago AU story. *~Chapter 2, Way Of The Ninja~* Wu climes effortlessly up the mountain the monastery is on, but Nya is struggling, just barely managing to not fall. "How...much further is it?" She asks, Wu was already almost at the top, but she was only about two thrids of the way, "YOU'RE CLOSE!" He yelled to her, though really she wasn't. Eventually she made it, and Wu helped her up, "A Monastery? You want to teach me how to fight in a place of peace?" She said confused as she looked around. "Not fight, train..." Wu said, he then used his bamboo cane to hit a hidden button revealing a training course; it had dummies, moving platforms, swinging weapons...and looked pretty hard. Nya hopped onto one of the platforms, "So...I train on this?" She asked, thinking it looked pretty easy, but she didn't realise it was moving underneath her. Wu sighed, "Yes, but be careful-" as he finished the platform sprung up and made her go flying into the air, landing on the other side of the courtyard. "Ow...okay, a bit harder than I thought..." Nya said getting up and dusting herself off, "Once you can complete the training course before I finish my tea, you will be ready." Wu said, already pouring himself a cup for the first try, he finished it in seconds, before Nya even got on the course. "Fail, try again." She sighed, and began training. A while later, she had managed to consistently get past the first few obstacles, but Wu was always done with his tea before she had a chance to get further. A few days passed, and Nya was now close to beating the course, though Wu's 40-second drinking speed was still a problem...but in the evening on the third day, Nya was getting ready to try again. The second Wu was putting down his napkin she bolted onto the course, she used her training sword skillfully and got past the first round of dummies in no time, when she was about halfway through, while she was jumping over the moving platforms she threw her sword at Wu, knocking the teapot out of his hands before he got a chance to pour it. He retrieved the pot, but by the time he was back facing the course Nya was in front of him, having already finished. "So, do I pass Sensei?" She asked proudly, smiling, Wu nodded, "Yes, but your final test shall be tomorrow, if I were you, I'd want to get a good night's rest today." "Wait Sensei! What about Spinjitzu? You haven't taught me it yet." Nya asked as Wu headed inside. "It will be unlocked, when the key is ready to be found." He replied as he walked off inside, Nya soon following, though still confused. The next morning, while Nya was brushing her teeth, black shadowy figures leapt through the ceiling beams, and then jumped down, the three black ninja now surrounding Nya. One with Shurikens, one with a Scythe, and one with Nunchucks. They stood around her, giving her no route of escape unless she fought back. Without time to think she stuck her electric toothbrush in Pixal's mouth, she spat it out and it rebounded off of Skylor, before landing in the back of Lloyd's ninja suit, giving Nya time to escape into the roof. The three followed her, as she narrowly dodged an attack from Pixal but was then knocked outside through the roof by Lloyd, and landed next to the activation button for the training course. The others soon came out of the house after her, but she activated the button causing the training course to rise, slowing them down. After being all of them knocked down by Nya and each other a few times, all four ended up in a pile trying to keep attacking, but Wu came out and told them to stop, the three ninja bowed, Nya just looked annoyed and confused. "Wait, what's going on here? Who are these people, are they your students too? And, if they are why were they attacking me, was this my final test?" Nya questioned, still a bit annoyed by the early morning attack. Skylor stepped forward, "Wait, another Ninja? You never told us there was another one, why? It's always three...Three blind mice, Three Musketeers...why four?" "There are four Golden Weapons, are there not?" Wu replies, and he then does Spinjitzu, spinning around each of the Ninja, putting them each in a new gi. Pixal was given white, Skylor blue, Nya red, and Lloyd...still black. "Sensei, why am I still black?" Lloyd asked, inspecting the barely changed suit. Wu taps Nya on the shoulder with his bamboo cane, and says "Nya, Elemental Master of Fire." He then walks to and repeats with the others, "Skylor, Elemental Master of Lighting. Lloyd, Elemental Master of Earth. And Pixal, Elemental Master of Ice." Pixal spins around quickly, (NOT Spinjitzu though) and then uses a trick to make it look like her Shurikens disappear. (Continued in Notes & Credits)
"Woah! How'd she do that?" Nya asks Lloyd, amazed, "Heard Wu say she has some sort of a sixth sense, or something..." He replies, "Huh, well I sense you might be right." Nya joked, "Oh? Do you have a sixth sense as well?" Pixal asked, not getting it was a joke. They all laughed a bit, except Pixal "Pixal, it was a joke." Skylor explained, "Oh, right a joke! Ahaha, haha."Pixal said, laughing, though it was obviously fake laughter. Nya sighed, shaking her head, confused by Pixal's odd actions. "Ninja, use the rest of the day to train, for tomorrow, we will set out in the carriage to search for the Golden Weapons." Wu instructs, "and find Kai!" Nya adds, "Yes, and find your brother, Nya." Wu agrees, nodding "Wait, we're saving someone? And a guy? If anything I would've expected it to be a damsel in destress type thing...what's he like?" Skylor asks, a bit hesitant. "I can tell you later, though he's pretty annoying." Nya replied, Lloyd steps forward "Sensei what about Spinjitzu? You still haven't taught it to any of us!" He asks, upset and confused. "Each one of you already knows how, and you will be able to do it when the time is right..." He says before walking off inside, not giving any more answers to any questions they have. "So, could you tell me about this annoying brother of yours now?" Skylor asks, intrigued. Nya sighed "Sure, But he did tell us to train, so we should probably do that too." Pixal nods "Yes, it would be good to train more before we go to find the weapons." They spend the rest of the day training a little, playing videogames, asking Nya questions, and having Nya ask them questions. (Normally I'd continue from here, but already running out of space so I'll just end the chapter here.) -Notes -Charecter list, with small looks description and bios -other -Credits §Notes§ Sorry if this one is a bit confusing, has a few bad jokes, (as in not actually good jokes, cause I forgot exactly what they say) or doesn't keep as many jokes as the show, it's just Skylor isn't a blabbermouth, and I was struggling a bit to adjust what is said to their charecters. Also, it dawned on me earlier Jay will BARELY be in this...so when it comes around, y'all take the time to enjoy TOE. (Tournament Of Elements. Though it won't be for a looong while, given we're still in pilot ep 1 . . . ) ∆~| main characters this chapter |~∆ Nya Smith: straight short black hair, and red lipstick are her defining features. The younger sibling, she's more intelligent and much calmer than her brother. She's also the Elemental Master of Fire. Wu: long white beard and moustache, wears an unusual hat, but is bald underneath (beard, moustache, and hat are visible on the prologue thumbnail). Younger brother of Garmadon, he is the teacher/Sensei of the ninja team, and the one who brought them together. He's very wise, has a good sense of humour, but can get frustrated easily when the ninja don't listen. He's the Elemental Master of Creation. Skylor: Red hair usually in a ponytail, sometimes wears light lipstick. She appears confident, level-headed and cool, but underneath that she's a bit insecure and overly cautious, but will always do what she can to help people. Elemental Master of Lighting. Lloyd: short, wavy light blonde hair. He is a good leader, (if you don't remember yes, Cole was sorta the leader before Lloyd came into things) though he gets stressed and concerned easily, but he tries to stay strong for his team. He loves candy, and he's the Elemental Master of Earth. Pixal: silver-ish white hair, usually up in a ponytail, wears subtle light pink lipstick. Very smart, and acts...almost robotic, but is innocent, kind, and very human nonetheless. Elemental Master of Ice. (Side note: I am aware in the show her name is technically P.I.X.A.L., but since Borg didn't make her in this AU and Julien made Zane for a very different reason her name standing for what it does wouldn't make sense.) ,¿What is Eight Fates?` it's my Ninjago AU (Alternate Universe) story! However, even if you haven't watched Ninjago I think you could still enjoy it! May be somewhat confusing, though I'll try to make things as clear as possible. Lmk if you'd like to be pinged for the next chapter! ©®€|)¡T$ Ofc Lego for Ninjago! My inspo was a meme on pin where Lloyd, Nya, Skylor, and Pixal started a group chat called 'the core four' as well as another peice of art on there for an AU called 'exchanged fates' or something, but I couldn't find much information on it and from the Image it did not seem to be the people I have chosen switching. Also my mind of course. :)
