I don't own the pictures and this will have blood and gore. This would also be an good time to tell you that this story is gonna be dark. 

Clouse finished looking at himself before turning his attention back to the Book of the Underworld. A powerful tool that can help him take over Ninjago and also help him get a queen fit to rule by his side. Though he couldn't relay on it alone since he was only a single man. Anyone would try to steal it, burn it or destroy it if he wasn't too careful...which is why he is going to gain some help. He'll start off small of course in order for the citizens of Ninjago to get a taste of his newfound power.

"Hm...What should I start off with?" He asked himself as he turned the pages of the Book of the Underworld to see what creatures and monsters should be summoned. That's when he spotted something...A page detailing shadow monsters and hellhounds. Both of which seemed terrifying, but would do the job of luring those pesky ninja to a trap. Firstly, he should summon the Shadow Monster Captain, Wisp. One of the many commanders who will aid in his attempt to take over. Though he would summon more once he drew the ninja out. So he started to recite the spell and summoned Wisp who bowed his head towards his new master.

"So you're the one who summoned me?" Wisp said with a bored tone. Not like Clouse could blame him considering that he is basically a shadow demon...correction a high ranked shadow demon.

"Yes. I'm in need of your services to take over Ninjago. Though I know that you would want something in return." Clouse said. From his years studying magic, Clouse knew that demons would often follow the person who summoned them after gaining something in return. Not like he could blame them since they were stuck in a place which lacks things that they often wanted. His thoughts were cut off when Wisp started stating what he wanted.

"I would like to get a village of our own. You see...life is difficult if you're a being that thrives on shadows. We want to have a place where we could live in peace without any distractions by some of the other demons wondering around." Wisp said.

"That's understandable though we will have to make adjustments since we need to make sure that no light comes around the village. Though there is an issue that we need to take care off first." Clouse said.

"What kind of issue?" Wisp asked.

"You see...this place is protected by a group of ninja who have various elements at their disposal like earth, water, ice, lighting, energy and fire. If we are to make progress...we would need more help since let's face it...three of them could easily take care of your forces." Clouse said.

"I see...those three are going to be a problem so what do you plan to do?" Wisp said. Clouse just smiled darkly as he started to say another spell bringing more beings into Ninjago. Hours later, a village was going through their normal everyday life when it started to become dark. 

"What in the...." A villager said before hearing a man scream right next to them. He couldn't see who was attacking, but smelt some iron in the air. He didn't notice the white eyes appearing behind them with bloodied fingers until it was too late.

At the same time, the Ninja were having a great time having dinner before the sirens rang through the air. They immediately sprung into action and started the long journey to the village under attack. Speaking of village, several villagers ran into the center in hopes of somehow holding off the attackers until the ninja arrive.

"Oh god. We're going to die." A man said.

"Don't say that. The ninja are coming and we will...." Another villager said before getting stabbed through the chest. The sound of his flesh ripping apart by the chest caused all of the villagers to turn their attention to the dying man. The could see the tail like spike lifting the man to a blackened figure with four glowing white eyes. 

They wanted to scream and run to safety, but it was too late. They were surrounded leading to the sounds of flesh ripping, limbs tearing and the smell of death. As this was happening, Clouse was looking on with a twisted smile on his face. Minutes later, the ninja arrived and couldn't hear anything.

"It's quiet...too quiet." Cole said as he walked through the village with his team. They had expected to hear screaming or calls for help, but couldn't hear anything coming from any of the villagers. It was like something horrible happened to them...a feeling that was deepened by the darkness surrounding them. So when Jay yelled after accidentally tripping on the ground, it startled all of them.

"Are you alright, Jay?" Nya asked. Jay nodded and was about to stand up when he froze.

"K...Kai, Can you use your fire here?" Jay asked. Kai seemed confused, but slowly brought his fire over only to see the severed arm on the ground. The sight shocked the team, but they had bigger issues than that. Before any of them could move, they were each wrapped up in the arms of monsters. They tried to struggle free, but stopped once they heard a familiar voice speak out to them.....

Hello again, Ninja. 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter....Bye 👋
