Chapter 2
Quick A/N: Art was made by me & a friend, he did the sketch & I did the digital/told him how I wanted her to look
Its been 3 days since the mysterious woman & the dragon had been seen. All the ninja had been able to find out was that the dragon was made out of dark matter & it's only know weakness so far is ice. They were glad they had Zane because they needed some sort of advantage next time the dragon is to be seen.
"Can we try to guess where she's going next?" Jay asked as he was watching video feeds so they could try to find the mysterious woman.
"Sadly,since she hasnt been seen in 3 days & she was only seen at the beach, we cannot" the master of ice said before the alarm went off.
"Convenient," Jay said, sounding a little scared. They all glanced up at the main screen to see the location.
"Outskirts of Ninjago city,let's go!" Lloyd shouted before they all got ready & took off in the bounty. Once they got there, the dragon was drinking around in the dirt while the mysterious woman was looking around using her staff to locate stuff in the ground.
"Who are you!" Kai shouted as the ninja made their way over.
"Kalista,now leave!" she said as she continued to look around. She beckoned her dragon over & it began to dig in a new spot.
"Why are you here?" Lloyd asked stepping forward.Kalista got in a defensive position & looked at them.
"Thats none of your business, now leave!" she said, if it hadn't been for her harsh tone the ninja wouldn't have been able to tell she was starting to get mad. They stared at her mask for a bit before her dragon swiped at them with its tail, missing all but Kai. Kai groaned as he was thrown into a wall that was already crumbling.
"Alright, no more mister nice ninja"Cole said before he attacked Kalista while the others distracted the dragon. Kalista hit Cole with her staff, sending him back a few feet before she ran towards her dragon. Her dragon roared & flew up to get away from the ninja.
"Hit it Zane!" Cole shouted as he ran after Kalista. Zane nodded & blasted ice at the dark matter dragon while Lloyd & Cole kept Kalista away from Zane. The dragon roared in pain as it fell into a small pit it had dug up.
"NO!" Kalista shouted before hitting the ninja back with a small blast from her staff. She growled at them & ran towards her dragon. She broke the ice off it's wing before the dragon curled around her. Zane made a dome of ice over the pit as they walked over to it.
"Now what?" Jay asked looking at the others.
"Take off her mask & see who she really is?" Cole suggested.
"Lets wait for Wu" Zane said as Nya was helping Kai over.
"You alright Kai?" Lloyd asked, making the master of fire glance over.
"My head hurts from hitting that wall" Kai groaned, his teammates frowning.
"Get him inside the bounty & to the infirmary,the rest of us can deal with Kalista" Lloyd said to Nya,to which she nodded & helped her brother inside. The other sat around the dome waiting.
"Where is she?" Wu had asked once he finally made his way over.
"Zane has her & her dragon stuck in that ice dome" Cole stated.
"Her name is Kalista," Jay said as he got up. Wu nodded & walked up to the ice dome. The ninja got closer as well & began to frown as they heard laughing coming from inside.
"Anyone else getting a bad feeling?" Cole asked just before the dome of ice broke.
"I am," Jay said before pushing Wu out of the way before getting hit by Kalista's staff.
"Get her!"Lloyd shouted before being hit by the dragon's tail. The dragon roared as Kalista got on it's back & flew off.
"This isn't good," Wu said as they all watched her leave.
"How bad is it?" Zane said as they rushed to the bounty.
"She had a scroll in her hand before she left, that scroll leads to the dark stone." Wu said before they took off in the bounty.
"What's the dark stone?" the 4 ninja asked as they walked to the Bridge where they found Nya piloting the ship.
"The dark stone can make people say dark truths they have been keeping a secret or can make them say something they thought in the past,you just can't tell though if she uses it on you till after it's happened" Wu said as the others shared concerning looks.
"We can't let her get it, Nya catch up to her as fast as you can,"Lloyd said. Nya nodded & sped up the bounty.
"Do you have any idea where the dark stone is?" Cole asked Wu as they made their way out of the bridge.
"I do not,I only knew the location of the map since I'm the one who hid it. But Mistakè may know" Wu said as he went to the deck of the bounty.
"You go talk to Mistakè, we'll slow down Kalista" Cole said as Wu summoned his dragon & flew off. Once he was out of sight, they walked to the infirmary to check on Kai.
"You'll be fine in a bit Kai,just rest alright"Zane said after he had checked to make sure Kai didn't get too badly hurt in the head.
"Alright,I hope you guys won't need me" Kai said before taking a nap.
"Swell,we're down a ninja & Kalista is a head of us, what's next?" Cole said with a sigh.
"Why did you say that!" Jay shouted just before they heard the roar of a dragon, "See! Thats why you don't say that!"
"Shush it zap trap," Cole said before they rushed outside & saw Kalista ready to attack the bounty with her dragon.
"Get ready for a fight!" Lloyd shouted before the dragon flew down to attack. Nya barely got the bounty to move out of the way before it could actually hit them. Zane shot ice at the dragon to keep it back so the rest of the Ninja could get ready to attack.
"You can't stop me!" Kalista shouted before attacking a few buildings, causing pieces of the roofs to fall.
"Protect the people" Lloyd shouted before they summoned their dragons & flew down to save everyone from the chunks of roof tops & buildings from crushing anyone. Once the Ninja were well distracted in the safety of the people, Kalista escaped the slightly damaged city & off to find the dark stone.
"Great,now she's gone! By the time Wu returns she'll have the dark stone & be more powerful!" Jay shouted once they got back on the bounty.
"We're not giving up now! Lets keep going in the same direction we were already following her before she attacked" Cole said, this time he took the wheel.
"Fine, let's go," Jay sighed before he & the remaining ninja, aside from Kai, decided to train to pass the time since they had no clue how long it would take till they find Kalista.
Meanwhile, Wu was heading to Mistakè's tea shop, he was unaware of what the ninja had to deal with. He landed his dragon & walked into the small tea shop when he saw what had happened on the news.
"If it weren't for the ninja,a lot of Ninjago City's citizens would be badly injured. As for where the mysterious dragon & its rider have gone no one knows" the newsman said. Wu sighed before Mistakè walked out.
"Hello Wu,what can I help you with?" Mistakè asked, she could already tell he wasn't there for tea.
"Hello Mistakè. Where did you hide the dark stone?" Wu asked, which made the old woman smile.
"Somewhere that girl can't get to on her dragon. It's in the Glacier Barrens" Mistakè said before giving Wu another map, "I knew having a spare map would come in handy"
"Thank you Mistakè. Do you know anything about the girl, her name is Kalista" Wu said as he took the map.
"I'm afraid that I don't, I only know as much as you do about her" Mistakè said & Wu nodded before heading for the door.
"Thanks again," he said before leaving. Mistakè nodded & went to the back room to see what she could find out about Kalista.
Wu looked at the map before taking off on his dragon, since he knew where he was going, he decided to take a short cut there. He decided not to tell the ninja about his own advantage hoping that they'd be able to distract Kalista long enough for him to find the stone first. He did feel bad & worried about them he knew they'd be fine.
Not only was Wu worried about his students, but they were worried about him. They had no idea what he would learn about Kalista or the stone & they didn't know if he'd catch up. With all their worrying, they didn't see the attack coming till it happened & they were all rocking.
"Dragon attack!" Cole shouted as everyone was ready to defend the bounty.
"But Kalista isn't on it!"Jay shouted.
"You don't think she's already on her way to the stone do you?"Nya asked as they fought off the attacks of the dragon.
"Most likely, the best option is to have half the team go after Kalista while the rest of us stay here" Zane said before blasting ice at the dragon.
"Jay,Nya & I will go after Kalista while you,Cole & Kai stay here, you're the only one who has the advantage against the dragon" Lloyd said.
"Go after her now" Zane said as he shot at the dragon more to distract it. Lloyd,Jay & Nya summoned their own dragons & flew down to the ground.
"Couldn't we have changed into our warmer gis" Jay complained as they began walking
"We don't have the time for that!"Nya said as they followed Lloyd.
"I think these are her footsteps" Lloyd said before they followed them into a hidden cave. Lloyd made a small energy ball in his hand for some light before they began walking deeper in.
"I wonder if she has it already," Jay whispered as they kept walking. He pouted when the other 2 ignored him as they kept walking in the cave. After 5 minutes Lloyd made the energy ball disappear & hid, making Jay & Nya copy. They peaked there heads around the corner & watched as Kalista was reading the map to see which was the right path.
"Lets get her" Nya said right as Kalista walked down a path. Lloyd got up & sneaked after her before Jay & Nya followed, each time Kalista would look back they would barely have enough time to hide. This went on for 10 minutes before Kalista stopped.
"How'd you find this place when I have the map?" Kalista said as she stared at Wu.
"Like I'll ever tell. You can't have this stone Kalista, give up" Wu said as he got ready to fight.
"Out of my way old man" Kalista replied as she put the map away & held her staff.
"I won't move," Wu said before Kalista charged at him & attacked. Wu doged & fought back as Lloyd,Jay & Nya snuck in undetected.
"Lets grab the stone" Lloyd whispered as the 3 split up so not all of them will be found as they go for the stone. Jay was found first when Wu kicked Kalista back. She picked Jay up & threw him at Wu.
"How dare you throw one of my students,"Wu said when he caught Jay. Jay whimpered as he was sat down by the entrance.
"Anything to distract you with," Kalista said as she ran for the stone only to be blocked by Lloyd.
"May I have this dance?" he said before he began to fight her. Kalista fought back only to keep being pushed farther away from the stone. Jay got up & helped Lloyd as Nya made her way up & grabbed the stone.
"Yes she got it!" Jay cheered. Kalista laughed & ended up tripping Jay & Lloyd before striking her staff on the ground causing Nya & the stone to be dragged over to her.
"Why can't I move?" Lloyd said as he & Jay tried to get up but couldn't.
"Thank you for grabbing the stone for me, you see this staff is the only way I can hold the stone but anyone else can easily hold it" Kalista said before putting the stone on the end of her staff, "Now, what are you hiding"
"No!" Jay shouted as Kalista kicked Nya down & pressed the stone against her chest.
"Tell me something little girl" Kalista said as Nya tried to push her away, "Tell me now
"I-i... I dont really like Jay, I just felt bad if I said no ''Nya said then covered her mouth. Kalista laughed as she let Nya go & looked at Jay. Jay looked heart broken before he was able to get up & ran off.
"Jay!" Lloyd shouted before Kalista disappeared. Lloyd,Wu & Nya chased after Jay.
"Nya, you must tell us which she made you say" Wu said as they looked for Jay.
"I was forced to say something back when the overlord was back, you know when I had taken that perfect match test & it said Cole instead of Jay, but she also twisted what I had thought at the time."Nya said before they found Jay crying.
"Jay" Lloyd said as he sat next to him.
"Jay that was just a really old thought that she twisted & changed a bit just to get us distracted enough to leave" Nya said as she went to put a hand on Jay's shoulder, only to have it smacked away.
"We're over," Jay said as he got up & made his way out of the cave. Nya began to cry as they made their way out.
"Now what?"Lloyd asked as he looked at his uncle.
"We have to find Kalista & stop her, who knows what else she can do now. The stone can only make people say an old thought or a deep dark secret, how she can alter them I dont know" Wu said as they made their way back to the bounty to prepare for whats next.
