Chapter 24: Sacrifices had to be made
"Well what do we have here? The Prince of Tesla with..."
An unknown man came from behind them as Zane was cut off with his words. Jeremiah, The Prince quickly unsheathed his sword and got ready of his fighting stance.
"The Sixth?"
The man took a closer look at Nya. Well, Not really walking UP close. But using shadows by travel.
"W-WHO are you!?" Jeremiah Asked with hesitance in his Voice. Putting UP a brave Face for his team mates wasn't easy. Especially when he couldn't who's he was talking with while trying to adjust the focus of his vision.
"Up there!" Cole screamed pointing his scythe at the monastery's roof. There was a man Wearing a Cloak with his good up and also with a Girl who seemed to be tied up.
Like a Puppet with strings tied around her wrists and feet.
"No." Zane's eyes showed fear. And when Nya looked at IT (and so did Harumi) They both knew something was wrong.
Something was very wrong.
"What do you want this time!?" Zane yelled taking out his shurikens and swinging it to his direction with such force.
"Oh, What's this? The descendant of Non other than that Ice Master? Pity he isn't here to see how you've grown so much! I mean, that little source on your chest was planted by him after his nature Friend was Killed! Oh Goodness! Clouse! Come see this! GOODY! GOODY!" The man laughed maniacally. Cole quickly dashed over to swing his hood off revealing his identity.
Jeremiah's eyes glowed purple and suddenly he was screaming in pain as soon as he saw The Man and the Staff that he was holding.
"AAHHHHHHH!!! IT BURNS!! HELPPPP!!" Jeremiah screamed in agony. His friends turned to look at him in panic.
"What's happening!?" Harumi yelled. Taking out her daggers but was stopped when pain arose to her leg. When she looked down. There where wounds that she knew would leave scars.
"You're not going anywhere Jade princess." A figure appeared to her side. His Hair was ebony black and so are his eyes, he was a man at his fifties.
He stood up with a flick of his finger, a dark magic circle had appeared on top of Harumi crushing her to the ground.
"That should keep you to your feet... stuck." He said as Harumi growled in anger cursing.
"Clouse! I want to play!" The Man with a Skull hat in boredom used his staff to deplete Coles and Zane's elemental attacks. As for Jeremiah.. He fell to the ground unconscious. Nya went to his aid inspecting his condition.
"Watch your goddamn mouth old man. I control the puppet, Within the Flick of my finger she could Cut your head off."
Cole was breathing heavily. Getting tired because non of their attacks work.
"My Elements don't work on him!" Cole growled.
"What would you think Dingus? This Staff already absorbed the First Master of Earth's power! Do you think your elements wouldn't be depleted if I didn't?" Chen laughed. Raising his staff up to the sky as a storm was forming on the Sky.
"You.." Zane's grip onto his shurikens tightened. Cole turned his head looking at him.
And when he did. Cole for the first time saw Zane...
Zane had lost his cool.
"You!? It was you!? It was You who killed my Father!?" Zane's tears flowed down his cheeks. Anger took over as His eyes where beginning to become more Icy Blue.
"Z-Zane!" Harumi called out trying to stand up in pain. But soon fell to Screaming in agony as The Dark Magic Circle above her added more force to let her remain stuck on ground.
"Well Of course! What do you think this staff does? I mean. It gets more powerful once I get new elements. And especially the So called Prince Wu's power. This staff's power had doubled!" Chen caressed his staff with admiration.
Zane's emotions soon bursted out. The Ice Master has lost his cool. His eyes was glowing and tears just continued to flow down his cheeks when he threw his shuriken at Chen. He was doing some kind of sacred arts controlling his shurikens, guiding it where to go.
"You Will regret, What you've done!" He cried as His shurkens released Ice. And for some reason, the Color was different from his usual.
Red.
Chen yawned and swung up his staff to the Sky. Waiting for Zane's ice get absorbed. But instead. Zane's red ice headed to his heart.
Bullseye.
"Curses." Clouse muttered under his breath. As Chen looked at him and they both exchanged looks waiting for what was about to happen.
A few seconds. They both laughed. Zane's tears soon were dry. And what those two men thought nothing happened. He suddenly felt pain shot.
"C-Clouse!"
Chen, The one shot in his heart felt extreme pain and Cold. It was like a heart attack. But this one stopped his heartbeat.
Instantly making him dead.
His skin immediately paled and soon he was covered in Ice as his Vessel fell from the roof to the foot of the mountain.
Clouse didn't do anything but stare.
"Well I guess This is over. Now I can come back to being a book." The Man sarcastically said. Slowly fading and once his body completely turned into a book.
Zane fell to the ground with mixed emotions. Cole rushes to him with a worried look.
"Are you alright? Perhaps we can continue—"
"No Cole. There is no time to mourn for tragedies from the past. We must get Nya to face her destiny." Zane closed his eyes.
While Cole was taken a back. But helped his friend up anyways.
Harumi was limping her way to her friends with a Suffering face.
"If that old man that turned into a book is gone. Then..." Cole thought rationally. He looked at The Puppet where it was previously standing. It was still there.
Once someone in control's Master is slain. The puppet must also fall with the Master.
"H-help!" A voice called. Everyone turned their heads where they thought where the voice was.
"Somebody!" It repeated. Nya stood up beside The prince and rush to where she could hear the voice.
"You there! Help me! Please?" Nya looked down. Seeing a Lady holding onto the edge of the Monastery cliff.
Nya lend her a hand. There where strings tied to her wrists deep to her skin as she raised a brow. The lady stood up from recovery and shook hands with Nya.
"Are you the puppet?" Nya asked straightforwardly as the girl looked up to her.
"I was." She replied.
"I was The Enchantress that was controlled by the Sacred Dark Magic Master, Clouse. That Old man with the Scarlet hair had a Contract with him till his death." She continued taking her hood off.
"You mean that creep that turned into a book? What did they want?" Harumi asked with a hint of annoyance in her face.
"They had an agreement with that Wind Master Morro. He wanted to wipe out all Allies of the previous king. And that includes me." She explained.
"You're the one that cursed our friend."Cole growled. As Zane shot him a look. He immediately kept his mouth shut.
"Clouse was in control. I'm sorry." She took her hood off as Cole gasped.
"A Kid? What the—"
"I am not a Kid. I am a fifteen thousand year old immortal and I am also cursed with everlasting life till the end of my contract with the First spinjitzu Master." She explained.
Nya screamed for help when the whole group looked towards her. She was alarmed.
"You have to fulfill your destiny. Before it's too late." The enchantress affirmed.
"How are we supposed to do that if we don't even know what she has to do?" Cole retorted annoyed at the Enchantress.
"The only thing you have to do is face the wind itself. If you don't want your friend to die. You must go immediately." The Enchantress informed. Attempting to stand up, she immediately fell back down to her knees crying in pain.
Zane didn't hesitate to help the Enchantress back up. Assisting her heading over to Nya with tears, Jeremiah no other than the Prince of tesla..
Once blue eyes had now changed into something else.
"No.." The enchantress gasped in horror.
Nya felt more tears streaming down her face. Harumi rushed beside and saw what was happening.
"That prick will pay for what he had done." Harumi said. Darkly.. Her grip on her daggers tightening.
The Prince had lost his once mesmerizing Ocean blue eyes.
He couldn't speak, He couldn't see anyone. But he can feel. He can feel someone holding him and he senses the presence of his comrades.. Especially, his one and only love.
Tears flowed from his eyes...
He had lost his eyesight but that doesn't mean he couldn't hear them or cry.
The crowned Prince of Tesla had lost his hope. But sacrifices had to be made for power.
•••
Nya's POV
I... I have no other choice. I have to face my fate. Everyone around me or close to me had experienced bad luck because of my fate. I have to accept my destiny and face Morro. Whether it'd be the death of me.
Lloyd.. He was nowhere to be found. We had just reached out to one of the citizens of our kingdom who we paid to investigate.
Asking ghost guards and some of the New King's Followers befriending them and inviting them to drink booze until they get drunk. And spill some information.
He sent us letters using Zane's falcon. And yes.. His Falcon is alive. I had fixed him. It already had been a few weeks after the incident with...
The prince.
The king of tesla wasn't taking this well and I was suffering with the blames of the citizens of Tesla as soon as he announced that I was finally going to face my fate.
"Miss Nya?" A knock came from the library door. It soon slowly opened with A Snow haired princess entering the room assisting a brunette. I frowned.
"Isn't he supposed to rest?" Cole asked worriedly.
Prince Jeremiah had been paralyzed. Though after healed by the Enchantress. She successfully took away the paralyzation (If that's even a word) with a spell.
"Jeremiah, you're supposed to rest." Zane rose up from his seat. I straightened my back after reading the map of the Whole Ninjago.
We walked up to Harumi who was assisting him.
"I'm sorry... But I can't let you leave without knowing something important." He said. Yes, he could now speak. But... He couldn't still see.
His once Ocean blue eyes that reminded me of someone are now gone. They had become Dull and Gray.
He was now...
Blind...
"How did he know that we're leaving tomorrow?" I asked Zane and Cole as the both of them shrugged. Harumi looked away as I glared at her.
"I caught him eavesdropping." She sighed. I frowned.
The sun was soon setting and we will be leaving around in the middle of the night.
"Nya. Can I please talk to you....
One last time..?"
