(Authors note: keep in mind mods and admins, that this is an remade version of the story, as it will replace the old one. It would be kind of you to rid of that topic and keep this one since this is more up to date. Hope you will understand, especially you, theteenlegotitan . You still got to owe me a Ryen Soto drawing.

A Lego Ninjago Story authored by Thefirstdecade (AKA: TFD: RELOADED)
Chapter: Prologue of tragedy…
I cannot see it clearly, I have fought, I have trained, and I did the best I could. The one man who found me, after I had to be abandoned from my biological parents... the one man who cared for me... he left a long while ago, and it has been a week, the others are worried. I walked and walked the streets of Ninjago City, wondering where he was. All the people who looked at me, were silent, they refused to answer any of my questions… they were all too scared or offended to answer me, I’ve asked; "Have you've seen this man?" "I'm looking for my care taker... can you please point out where he was last seen?" "I want to find my care taker... he's gone missing from me..." “..Help me please; I need to find my father… I really miss him…!”
But All I was ever responded to was this insult about 85% of the time: "Go slither back to the hole where you were once buried from!!!" I hated most people who discriminated me, the people of Ninjago who shunned the Serpentine, my own species, placed them in tombs for our eventual extinctions. Now they have forgotten us …like nothing ever happened between the Human and the Serpentine Races; like no wars ever happened between us. We were just history and old wives tales to them. Humans; … sometimes i just... I do not understand their customs, their ideas, their logic... they're such an enigma to me. But to the ninja of Sensi Wu, i understand them to their fullest extent, as far as them.
My day out for getting errands done (usually a pizza run because Jay is too lazy to go get it himself with his own money) was soon ending relatively fast... I kept on searching for him, I remember his voice quite well, I remember his face of greasy black hair, bushy eyebrows, illustrious yellow skin (I mean, he IS a standard LEGO Minifigure…) that was dry due to being in dirt and stones for many an hour, and black eyes that sparkled when the sun hits them just right… and he was still as handsome as ever… it made me think, 'where is he, and why has he been gone for so long'?
I've wanted to give up searching in the back of my head, but nay... I wanted to find him, the shadows of the tall buildings loomed over me, being black monoliths in the orange skies of the sunset. I felt hopeless, I felt weak, but I still felt determined to find him. I kept running, i felt his presence, being that I can feel the earth in my scaily feet, and I could feel his bio-rhythm (Another reason why my biological parents abandoned me in the first place, plus the earthen powers because I had such “ungodly powers of the Serpentine.” Well… at least to the Venomari and Hypnobrai generals...)
I ran faster and faster, until it led me to a dark alleyway... I walked cautiously; I walked with my mind set to tighten my defensive awareness. I pondered if he was here... I felt his biorhythms deeply, and strongly. (Speaking of biorhythms, i have an obscure elemental power, that being the Element of Genetics.) I walked into the darkness, and my four glowing reddish-yellow hypnotic Eyes went into their night-vision mode, but against the blue and green night vision I see, I saw the shine of something golden, its glow was nothing, but compared to beauty, it was a crowning jewel of the First Spinjitzu Master, until I realized it was one of the four golden weapons! One... that my father weilds... I picked up the Golden Scythe of Quakes, my caretaker’s legendary weapon that can control the earth, even turn into a cool vehicle if you can concentrate just right.!
I was looking at myself in its blade's reflection, it had a olive green stain of Venomari acid on it, but the blade was undamaged, itself. I stared at myself for a long time within the stain. Its glow suddenly died out, and I looked over my shoulder, my eyes looking surprised...
...I saw a shadow move back into the darkness… I thought it was my father… my caretaker...
But seeing, only leads me to just believing... I not only saw that shadow... I actually witnessed something... Something truly strange to me, it just cannot just have a tail like that! Its tail was familiar to me, so familiar in fact; I dropped the golden weapon, and quickly ran after the shadow. The shadow was present, so I quickly pursued after it, thinking my father just stepped out on me a long time ago and was returning home after taking care of a serpentine general or a thuggery. I ran, the shadow turned a corner, but when the corner was turned, I got a nasty surprise by Acidicus, the Venomari Serpentine General, holding me at a corrosive acid saber point, his respective tribe’s staff in his other hand, i’ll explain it (the Fang-Staves of the Serpentine) a bit later. I gasped, and could not comprehend I was tricked; I wanted to get to that Golden wWeapon... But Skales, the Hypnobrai Serpentine General, just seemed so to block my other escape route just on time. (Rather eerily.) He's usually some sort of perfectionist, as far as i could remember, he never messes up in his speech or his plans, but they usually go awry at a time he least expects it, like I’m going to do, right now in fact...
Skales held the Hypnobrai staff tightly in his scaled grip, the staff was all gold, and it had a blue jewel below the snake-head bust on top of the staff, and it was was also seemingly connected with his Tribe’s “Fang Blade” which is this weird legendary blade that can help awaken this thing called the “Great Devourer”. (i for one, put this off as a buncha mythological hooey) He’d held it like a spear, the glowing bluish-gray blade pointed in my general vicinity, the blade and staff had these very serpent-like engravings and look to them, the same goes to Acidicus' staff too. I grunted, and looked at both, and I addressed myself to them, some classic Soto sarcasm included.
"Ay! Well hello... generals... I am Ryen Soto, Venomari-Hypnobrai hybrid... So... what do you, General Skales and General Acidicus want from me? Secrets on how my DNA works so you two can collab’ on some top-secret project to take over all of Ninjago or somethin’? Cuz that’s not gonna happen, not in like… millions of years...”
I was trying to be smug and sarcastic like it is my usual self. But, No dice they were getting, Acidicus only hissed at me, and Skales looked unimpressed at my Attitude, sharpening his offending all-hypnotizing gaze upon me.
"Wwwweelll... You cannot possibly hurt me because; I have Acid immunities and hypnotism immunities from both tribes... so, perks for me then." I said with a grin, The Venomari General growled, and wanted so badly to attack, but Skales gestured him to keep a low profile. He’d wanted to just talk me up and hypnotize me with his swirling eyes, honestly, i kinda like how his eyes looked, pupil followed by a lot of black lines that encircled the pupil, all glazed a red demonic glow.
"Well... Ryen... It jusssst ssso happensss to be that you are quite, ...eerrr... the oddball of our tribessss... “ Skales said, slithering slowly around me, I tightened my reflexes for anything sudden. I hate Skales; he was the one whom once turned my caretaker into a sleeper agent that went against the rest of the Wu Ninja Team in an effort to protect some dopey-looking tree-house that Lloyd Garmadon wanted to build. (And he was using US SERPENTINE as his workers! Slavery much?!) But that was when he was just a kid before his well-needed age-up, puberty hit him hard I gotta say, even if it was magical. But I hid that hatred pretty well, actually, I’d repay a debt of revenge for that offence against Lloyd .
"...Well, Missster Sssoto... what, do you have to sssay for yourssself?" Acidicus said, looking stern, his voice was strained and raspy, he was an old hag that I hated to see in the light of day in, heck he even booted some Venomari girl, all just because of a eye for power-grabbing.
And so, i wonder if that specific woman was once my biological mother...
My caretaker once told me that the same Venomari gal that Acidicus booted possibly was my biological mother, i dunno where he got that source from… but even I still don’t know much about Serpentine Biology and other things. Then again, neither do the Gens, or much of the tribes perhaps. I looked smug again and replyed, "What do I have to say for myself? Oh I know! Asnakesaywhat?" Both generals both said "what" in unison, I thought it would not work, but they are feasibly as gullible as the rest of the Serpentine, like those dumb Constrictai who have rocks for brains! (pun intended if you are a Ninjago fan.) But no offense to me by the way. I ended up roundhouse kicking them away from me all Chuck Norris style anyways, so... I am free from confrontation!
I quickly headed for the Golden Scythe that relaid on the wet damp sewer-water-alleyway-concrete-mix, both generals quickly tailed me, as they had just recovered from my roundhouse kick, but with my ninja instinct (I am trained by the ninja so, yeah, i have these traits, just repetition on my end), I quickly ran upside one of the graffitied walls of various images, grabbed the scythe where I dropped it. In addition, I jumped off the side of the wall when it came to the corner, landing on my feet; I quickly dashed down the boulevard sidewalk, flying by random citizens, arms behind my back, shoving them out of my way, hearing slurs of nonsense at me. However, when I turned back to see them both… The Venomari General caught me by surprise! ?
Acidicus caught me off guard, he had such a boost of speed, sending those pedestrians flying as he tackled them outta the way, and then, at point-blank, he spat a doussal of Venomari Acid/Toxins upon my left eyes as I tried to block his attack! Then to me; the most ironic thing happened; my eyes were (in fact) plagued with illusions! The vision was all blurry, colors in the environment mixed and blurred and splitted, seemingly, the humans i saw were slowly forming, morphed into different objects, being other Hypnobrai and Venomari snakes, but they were all illusions, tricking me into thinking they were real...
Talk about a Bad Trip...
Acidicus gasped in amazement, pure dumbfounds as his jaw drops, "I could actually make him hallucccinate all this time around?! He lied to usss!! HE'S NOT IMMUNE TO OUR POWERSSSSS!!!" Skales soon took the Venomari General's word as fact, and chuckled nefariously.
"Then if he'sss not immune to our affects, I’ll control him! it'ssss ironic he ssssaid he had immunitiessss to our natural powerssss! Oh iissss it a dream come true!?" Skales sarcastically said, and soon slithered full tilt towards a recovering me, rhythmically sliding left and right repeatedly, I was still the poor hybrid still plagued by the Venom's hallucinations, seeing things that I wish I shouldn’t see, in my left eyes, messing with the regular vision of my right, I rubbed them and closed my eyes, then I turned around, and bumped into Skales.
I grunted, gritting my fangs as I thought I bumped into another human. "Hey! Watch where you're going you dumb flesh-bag, i'm runnin’ HUUUAAAA!?" I screamed, Skales grabbed me and threw me against a tree, I apparently ran into a park for some odd reason, the public just staring at us. They screamed at us and started fleeing, I soon got back up and fought back with swift kicks and punches, all with one hallucinated set of eyes on my left. Skales hissed at me, and soon slammed me against the ground, I was too tired to fight, I... I couldn't fight him off any longer! The stinging eye-pain was just too much!
Acidicus slithers up to me closely, looked back at me with an eye for revenge and hissed, he sprayed more venom into my eyes, this time more venom in my left eyes, a first doussal to my right, the stinging feel of them feeling underworld-on-earth painful! Hissing in torture and terribleness! Skales then soon attempted to hypnotize me; I kept my focus on breaking my concentration, my hallucinated eyes were just making the hypnotic effect even worse. His swirling eyes seemed... very lulling, but i’d try to resist.
"We've been trying to get your attention for the lassst few weeksss..." He hissed out eerily...
(Guess this is the worst day in my life, eh? and it was going so great!)
"You’ve abandoned both of our tribesss to go live off with one of the ninja!? Your hated among our two tribessss, we won’t accept you ever again you… you mistake of nature!! You've been training with one and you've sssseen to have one ninja'sss elemental powersss!! You have even INHERITED sssssaid powersss... for that offenssse, you will be in my control, to ultimately sssee your caretaker's demisssse! Now… look deeply into my eyesss… you’ll get your sssight to behold sssoon..." Skales whispers somewhat seductively into my ears, his eyes swirling into its hypnotic effect, I grunted and struggled, trying to stop staring, then… it rather lulled my senses deeply and I’d lessen my resistance, I heard this weird angelic humming, it was coming from those swirling eyes, and it seemingly sent me into their control, and I went finally under his influence....
(It was somewhat weird how I remember this, when I was hypnotized... strange… and traumatic… I will have nightmares about that for the rest of my life… I hope I shalt not turn into a sleeper agent like the one time he did to my father! Like father... like Son... i suppose...)
I gave up. I was soonly hypnotized; everything seemed slow, and blurry. Everything I saw was this weird pulsating red. I slowly breathed in my controlled state, I could only have felt i were like a Zombie! Skales laughed evilly, his tail rattling in amusement. Acidicus the Venomari General was smiling with no hint of remorse for me. Skales tried to take the Golden weapon out of my hands, but it... has some odd mysterious druid power that made it stick to my hands like crazy glue--no matter how much both Skales and Acidicus tried to pry it out of my claws, it would not budge no matter what. The general hissed in anger and kept trying to yank out of it, Acidicus trying to do the same.
“Sssstupid Ssscccythe!!! Why wont it get out of hisss grip!? Thissss is imposssible!” Skales hissed, but decided to go along with it anyways, safety in the knowledge that I follow his every whim and command. Soon Skales ordered me to stand at attention follow him anyways.
I stood, and did like the mindless slave i was to him...
(p.s. Lloyd, I hate you.)
(No, im not kidding, I really do, you'll be ssssssorry when I get done writing this autobiography of mine. Ssssssure it's been MONTHS since that Tree-house incident when you were young and stupid, very stupid, but. Mark. My.Wordssssss.Green-bean. And if you're reading this, pal...Love,not that I really give said emotion in the first place,Ryen Soto.)
As I slowly zombie walked my way to the dark alleyway, following the two Generals, I knew my caretaker's Golden weapon was trying to free me from Skales' psychotic grasp on me. it was no use, it glowed and shined, but it didn't free me from Hypnobrai Generals' command, it wasn’t like the antivenin like in the generals’ staffs. As both generals ushered me into a sewer system below Ninjago City, I was thinking in the back of my head...
‘Curse you Acidicus, your venom had made me fall into Skales' command, I will find a way to pay back the price by controlling you! ...or by doing the same thing that you did to me… whatever that I feel like doing to you...’ I continually kept in his control, as I peered at myself in a sewer puddle. In addition, randomly, I began to have a free sense. I began chuckling, and then laughing, throwing both generals out of their rockers. It was a bit creepy to be honest...
"Whatsss THISSS?! Ssskalessss, why isss the boy laughing!? What'sss the meaning of thisss!?" Acidicus got in Skales' face to make his word clear. Skales simply shrugged and "I don't know" shoulder gesture at him and pushed him away, but looks easily off guard, the Hypnobrai general was panicking, trying to enforce his psychic grasp back on me, but to no avail.
And TRUST ME, readers, i worked my HARDEST on this baby, and i want it seen in all it’s glory for the entire Ninjago boards on here, if thats the case, i’ll work with the mods, they can be my proofreaders and edit things, grammar, continuity awareness, appropriateness, anything, really (just don’t remove whats in parentheses, they are Ryen’s footnotes, not mine they are mostly comedic and informative at times.)
This story took me MONTHS to develop, and im not letting it go down unmoderated for all to ignore.
"... AHHH HAH HAH HA HA!!!” I laughed maniacally with some chuckled speech. “I... I-I cannot, stop... getting h-hilarious thoughts from S-skales!! Bah hah hah haa... H-how dumb are you, Skales?! AH HAH HA HAH--!!!"
I shouted out, my laughter getting to them, they'd be creeped out nicely, my plan was working. Then I suddenly stopped laughing, turned towards them with a devious smirk on my serpent mug, and whipped back into my possession, my golden scythe to strike the ground, and collapse the ground beneath them. I soon jumped into hole I created to fight them - it is kinda easy to catch the generals off guard - and I kicked their butts to all high heavens this time, Awesome!
So gullible those generals are, what are they, stupid?! (Oh wait, they really are! hee hee...) Both Acidicus and Skales were so surprised, they didn't have the chance to realize that the hypnosis and hallucinations in my eyes that were placed on me was long gone, too. I landed with an earth-quaking thud, which startled both Generals, as they tried crawling out of the hole I beaten them into, but they soon surfaced and drew their Fang-staves and Acidicus gestured me to dive right in, locking blades-to-blades, locking claws-to-claws. So I did just that, I shouted out the following--
"Alright, what have you done to my father!? Answer me now!!" I attacked, swiping with my Golden Scythe of Quakes, my grunts and yelling echoed across the sewers, but Skales chuckled. (And I personally knew, this was gonna be bad news one way or the other...)
He said, "Ooohhh Ryen... it'sss sssuch a bad time for you to know our sssssecret... but... Wordsss are not enough than you need to find out about your father...." He said, with a wink towards Acidicus. The two generals suddenly beat a hasty retreat, and soon slithered off farther off deeper into the darkness of the sewers to lead me into said "secret". ..
(A Secret very terrifyingly traumatic, I really didn't want to add it into this autobiography... but, my editor (Sensei Wu) said it needed to be added... well, no turning back now...)
"Aw, jeez… I gotta find out what they're doing, before it's too late! (Cliche how I said it that way.) Well, if my father can conjure up his golden weapon vehicle…" I did the same moves and steps, of what my father did to conjure up his vehicle almost to a T. I did the same moves that i saw him do when i was young, training to become a ninja like him, it looked cool and beautiful, such an elegant dance of earth and the scythe.
Then, with a loud shoom, and a vroom, and a boom… or something of that nature with a big flash, I was sitting in a leather interior with controls in front of me, sharp clawed hands on ten and two, or more like an airplane joystick thing, and the hatch closed down over me. I gasped and looked amazed--I never knew I could have the element of Earth more than ever; I really AM ‘his father’s son’ as Sensei Wu used to say.
"Ooh, boy, Looks like Skales and Acidicus ordered some kick-butt this time around... VROOM, VROOM SCALE-FACES!!!AAAHHHH HAH HAH HAH HA!!! Time for me to punch it and call you road-kill!!!" I soon punched it, full throttle. The speeds of this vehicle were great! I felt the G-forces it put on me, and I rushed with energy, it felt wonderful, Adrenalin was pumping and my heart racing! I screamed in happiness and charged straight for Skales and Acidicus. With a wicked smile on my serpent face, for sure, I was ready to see some pain happen before my eyes , fast and furious like I am!
Both Acidicus and Skales screamed in terror, and soon somersaulted out of the way of my golden weapon vehicle (being named the Tread Assault). I growled and looked in my rear-view mirrors the vehicle had, and I saw Skales soon go to an alcove drainage pipe he dived right into it. Acidicus was behind him, soon following. I growled and wondered how to stop my vehicle, a memory popped into my head about my father telling me to break my concentration, so I slapped myself silly (Trust me, it HURT...), and POOF! The vehicle was gone, and the Golden Scythe fell in front of me. Rather… awkward idea to do but it worked anyways.
(I have alot to learn about my weapon's power's still. And utilize my Serpentine ones.)
Feeling both generals’ biorhythms, I quickly soon pursued… I quickly entered a subway turntable subway-car, roundhouse thing and I saw both generals standing atop of a passenger car, with something enwrapped in black tarp behind them. Skales cackled and Acidicus looked away for a couple of seconds, and whispered something to a Hypnobrai scout, and the scout quickly ran off down a tunnel behind them. I looked Puzzled as I saw the scout run away, I thought to myself,
‘Cowards... the Hypnobrai and Venomari always are…’ I soon stared at Skales and Acidicus in the eyes, something telling them that they were going to be skinned alive or anything much more threatening...
"What's behind that tarp!? Is it even my father in there!? Then if so, let him out this instant!!! I will not tolerate any of this you two are pulling on me ANY LONGER!!!" I yelled angrily, enraged, what else could i say!?
Both Skales and Acidicus laughed again at my face. "What'ssss the matter Ryen? Isss it becuassse your daddy isss captured by uss? You love the old man, don't you... Acidicus, if you mind doing the... dark honor?" Skales taunted, Acidicus shook his head in agreement, and soon grabbing a flap of the tarp, ready to reveal something truly horrifying to me.... it's disturbing how I still remember this...
I soon sprinted towards, as fast as my scailiy legs could take me, I soon leapt up to get an sorta ending blow to both generals... just before Acidicus and skales both pulled down the tarp, revealing a true weakness of mine, emotionally. I suddenly broke my concentration, and landed in front of the cage...
I looked up. Shock and awe... terror in my system filled me with fear, I quickly backed into Skales and Acidicus, and I gasped and cringed. Skales calmly, quietly and creepily hissed out the following very slowly...:
"We decccccided to rid of your father a loooonnnng time ago becuassse he defeated uusssss, Grudgesss cannot be lifted away from the onessss you hate, you know. He’ssssss deeeeeaaaaaad, Ssssooootooooo..."
Skales said... grinning with evil, his tongue flickering in and out of his mouth...
Acidicus, let the skeletal remains of my father fall out as he opened the cage door, the Black Ninja ZX Gi was still on its body, it still even had its hood on it's skull, seeing the voids of my father's eye-holes in the eye-slit. It reeked of the musky stinging smell of Venomari acid and the appearance of cuts from deep-gashing Hypnobrai claws on his clothing, the blood and acid stains were still there. My soul never in my entire life dropped deep in despair and fear as it could go, I... I felt hopeless, weak, and terrible, what was this psychological torture they are brandishing on me!?! Please, for the love of the First Spinjitzu master, tell me this was FAKE!! Acidicus chortles some more, and hissed.
"Well, what are you going to do about it!? You are now absolutely powerlessssss to ssstop usss, and we know now of your emotional weaknesssss... ssso why do not you JOIN HIM!?!? GYAH HAH HAH HA HA HAAAA--!!!" Acidicus shouted, then led to that characteristically hissy evil laughter! Soon, Skales held me down, Acidicus' Fang-stave's blade at my neck, i'd struggled and writhed, that blade was going right for my jugular veins, I can't die by the hands of the murderers of my father! Even if I may bleed a slow and painful death...
but it'll be nothing compared to my father's pain and torture he endured...
I gasped and quickly grabbed my caretaker's remains, suddenly swinging the skeleton upon the two generals in a hasty form of self-defense, both snakes were sent flying by such a hard swing of my father's remains as a weapon! Escaping a life-ending throat-slashing from Acidicus just narrowly, that is a record for sure and a tale to tell!!
The generals., grunting and falling back onto the hard concrete due to my hard swinging. Both Generals gasped and then quickly pursued after me as i soon sprinted off. I quickly ran out of the alcove, released my Golden weapon vehicle, and drove off with the remains of my father in the cockpit with me…
Depression, sadness, hopelessness; anger, mixed emotions flying in a rainbow over me. I could not believe they done this to the Ninja! Let alone, me...
(Dear god, this was heart-wrenching to write...)
(And now... you know why this day, has been THE WORST day in my ENTIRE LIFE! I was not kidding when I wrote it, but anyway, this is the end of this prologue, we'll get to the story where we did leave off, which was shortly after my escape.)
"I'm... sorry... Dad... I really am! I-I have should of gone with you, dad! I couldn’t have let you gone on your own!!! Dear god, what have done?!?"" I cried and wept over my Father's remains, it still had the hint of the scent of Venomari Acid and Hypnobrai claws still on its bones and Ninja GI. I winced and bawled in sorrow, over the loss of my father; I cannot believe Skales and Acidicus would do this to me! They murdered my own father, they slain one of the legendary elemental ninja! How could thjis be?! It would be nearly impossible!
What will the other ninja and Sensei Wu would say if they knew The Ninja of Earth is deceased by the hands of Skales and Acidicus!? And if they blame me for it?! I wept and wept in a remote part of the sewers, away from the snake generals who did demise my father’s life energy by melting and clawing and slashing and all sorts of horrid gory things they could have done to him! From the looks of the messed up Ninja Gi ZX suit, they tortured him with everything they had but the kitchen sink! I felt the ground quail in sorrow over the former Ninja of Earth… am I so base, that the generals besmirch me with this vile act against humanity!?
"... I... I'll never forget you... dad, I'll remember you forever!! W-we a-all loved you a-and.-.. and-...!I LOVE YOU FAAATHEEERRRR!!!" I yelled out, echoing my emotions of mixed rage, and sorrow... my golden weapon dimming its glow in reaction to my emotions before i picked up and angrily swung it into a wall, a massive quake shaking dust and small pepples, a sewer brick fell on my foot and i hissed out, crushing that same tooled-up rock with the sole of my foot, turning it into dust. i hissed and hugged the skeleton of the late Black Ninja tightly, it felt uncomfortable but it felt like I was still hugging my father, after all this time he left from me. He died, and I’ve could’ve looked after him! I looked my father's old worn Ninja ZX Suit and mask. The Mask and Gi were part of his ZX suit, stained with venom and slashed with the hypnotic pain he had to endure before his ultimate fate...
I decided to take my father's mask, and wear it on me; I always wanted to do that ever since i was just a child. It fit kinda well over my muzzle and cobra-like hood and Venomari spikes, but when seen in person it looked weird, so I tried to force it down and I heard multiple RRRIIIIPSS, and I looked at myself in a broken mirror shards that was thrown in the sewers that the top head spikes on me head tore through the fabric, but i ignored it. I felt somewhat tranquil, it lulled me, I could still smell his presence even... I became quiet. Few minutes went by, my father's mask hugged my serpentine head perfectly now, the cobra hood and head-spikes fit well. Then, now I focused on the sounds around me; the low droning of Ninjago City traffic above me and sloshing of sewer water below me, the buzzing of nearby flies, the squeaking and snickering-clicking-noises of rats and mice, and my own breathing within me, being the only things heard. I felt my father's life within the mask, I could still feel his residual biorhythms. I was wanting to wear due to my elements, being genetics and earth, thinking I can somehow gain something from it; it still somewhat resonated, before it resonated horrifying vibes from Acidicus and Skales. ...
(Then… I felt I heard it echoed some words my father said when I was young… My Genetics have this odd thing... )
"Don't worry Ryen, I'll try and keep you safe from my friends... but if I were ever to pass away, you'll fill in for me... got that? C’mon scalie, let's get trainin’ shall we ...son?"
I sighed in remorse and looked at the Golden weapon in my hands, some acidic tears in my eyes due to me being part Venomari. I never knew I shall and should fulfill my destiny as the Black ninja, not like this in any way, shape of form, but, my earthen powers were once too unstable to manage, myself, nowadays, I learned, I trained, and fought and did the best I could; even I can conjure up my vehicle and control the Golden Scythe of quakes! I relied on my father's teachings and he guided me through… I'll never forget those he taught to me...
thank you father...
(Now I wish he had, never in my life, been slain... )
I felt somewhat safe inside of my father’s clothing, sure was a little drafty a bit lose on me due to having a different bodily structure, but I felt like nothing would hurt me, but that feeling quickly went away. I tighten my grip on my golden weapon more, as I suddenly felt something move and rumble underneath me. I felt it is biorhythm as well, and I knew it was one of my kinds of the serpentine. I derived a conclusion quickly, and realized it was the Constrictai burrowing underneath me. I quickly then focused on my Golden weapon, and quickly slammed the scythe blade in the concrete ground and cracked it open, tossing a Constrictai out of his burrowing tunnel, caught the sucker by surprise! I'd then decided to don my caretaker’s hood again and stood ready when that snake was about to get up.... (and my anti-digging method; It seemed to work… never knew you could do that in the first place... )
Apparently, it was Skalidor. The Constrictai general, tossed out of his burrowing tunnel, and flew up then flopped onto the ground in front of me. He groaned and scratched his scaily-spiked head, until he gasped at me, and thought I was actually my father. "Well, the black ninja... such a rude assssking you give to me if you just wanted me to ansssswer a question of yourssss... Pythor sends hisss reguardsss…" Skalidor said, crossing his arms and smiling. He flicked his tongue in and out, and waited for my voice to speak, I felt like he knew I was faking it... but, fake it till you make it, am I right?
(Pythor...? Thats a name I haven't heard in a very very long time...)
"... I... I... I’m s-sorry to disturb... you… S-skalidor… General, sir..." I shyly said, I thought this snake general was gonna turn me over to Acidicus and Skales, when I gasped and looked confused. ..
"W-wait, who... are you? Moreover, how d’ya know mah name? I don't remembern’ yer voiccce bein’... lighter? In addition, what is with the spikessss dere on ya head? Yere one sssstrrraaannnge human I ‘sssspose... Ey… didn’t I see yer face before..?" Skalidor said in question, i'd begin to casually internally panic.
"Heh, wat a cutie yer are..." Skalidor said, looking utterly baffled at me, he then took a look closer as he slithered close to me, getting right up in my face about it, and he backed away quickly with a gasp, and slowly drew one of his hidden weapons at me. Apparently it was his tribe's fang-staff as well, same concept as Acidicus and Skales, and how could you hide that thing on you!? It is right out in the open for all to see that you are threatening! Whatever, I guess it is this thing in cartoons called “Hammer Space” or something. He hissed at me and sharpened his yellow-glowing eyes on me.
"Hey wait a minute now... Don't telln’ me yer’ that... Hybrid sssnake that's been causin’ Skales and Acidicus trouble, yesss?" I gasped and quickly wanted to make a run for it, but I cannot run from a fight that was just eagerly waiting to become matched for a fight!
My adopted father and Skalidor both have the element of Earth, so do i too, but the ace in my sleeve is that, I have the element of genetics, having a advantage of detecting his biorhythm, thus foreseeing his attacks or something like that... (I wonder, does the element of genetics work like that like telekinesis or something?) Therefore, before he suddenly could strangle me in his vice-like grip, I flipped out of harm's way, my Golden Weapon glowing in a good glow and I landed a few meters away, posing for battle!
`"General Skalidor! I'll let you go freely, I’ll try not to hurt you... in fact, I’ll surrender myself to you if you can just hide me from Skales and Acidicus! I LOATHE those two generals now! And I need to get my vengeance upon them for them taking my caretaker's life, er, however that'll work out is up to you, Skalidor! However, in order to do that, I should not be slain like my fath- … erm… I mean... that man!" I said, hoping for having a plan in mind to get away from those two generals... Also this little thing of pretending to be somebody else? Yeeahh... that failed hardcore...
(who somehow blindly guided themselves near us, guess they heard Skalidor’s and my voices. .. The loudmouth that Constrictai general is! Oh and uh... me too... heh hee!)
I felt their biorhythms, and I quickly held out my hands, REALLY wanting to get away now! Skalidor got confused for a second, then he realized, (if i predicted correctly), he could unlock my true potential genetic powers all to himself, i knew he realized whom I am and knew I was tricking him. He smirked and slowly slithered towards me, with a few Constrictai soldiers popping up from the ground right behind me, one holding cuffs as he had appeared behind me.
What and odd short-lived addition, eh? but hey, this was all in the name of getting me the heck outta harms way if you think of it!
(Authors note: keep in mind mods and admins, that this is an remade version of the story, as it will replace the old one. It would be kind of you to rid of that topic and keep this one since this is more up to date. Hope you will understand, especially you, theteenlegotitan . You still got to owe me a Ryen Soto drawing. Anyway, story starts next post.)
Woo! ^.^
Btw, i am making this story, spread the word, please.
