Ninjago: The Epic Rewrite

Episode 13 Part 6:



Lord Garmadon was roaming the city streets, looking for the nearby tea shop. He was feeling awfully cynical, so he decided to simply use Traveler's Tea to return to the Dark World and wallow in his own misery. It was at that moment when he heard a large group of people screaming far away. A man ran by him.

"What's going on?" Garmy questioned.

"There's a huge snake attacking the city!" the man exclaimed, "Hey aren't you-" Garms pushed him aside and ran in the direction of the scuffle. The Devourer was the reason why his child loathed him, the world feared him, and society rejected him.

It would pay.

And so the ninja fought. Fireball after fireball, boulder after boulder, lightning bolt after lightning bolt, nothing worked. All they could do to the beast was annoy it.

"This isn't working!" Jay cried. Nya rocketed towards the Devourer in her mech, hoping to give it a nasty scar with her sword, but the beast flicked at her with its tail, sending it crashing to the ground. The huge snake bent over Nya's robot, and prepared to deliver the final blow. Suddenly, a huge white streak body-slammed the creature into the side of a building, sending shards of glass and metal flying. After the dust cleared, the ninja were gazing upon a four-headed dragon. It was a combination of the four elemental dragons, who had migrated a few months back.

It made its return just in time.

"Rocky!" Cole shouted, easily the happiest of the bunch. The Great Devourer got back up and hissed angrily. The two beasts engaged in battle. The Ultra Dragon's attacks were far more powerful than the Great Devourer's, but it ultimately could not pierce the snake's scales, and eventually, the Devourer knocked it out of the air, sending it crashing onto the street. The ninja came running to the dragon's aid.

"Are you all right?" Cole asked frantically. Jay did a quick inspection.

"They're fine," he said, "But they can't fight anymore. This thing is too powerful."

"May I be of assistance?" Garmadon asked.

Episode 13 Part 8:



The Devourer gave chase, and Cole ducked into a tight alleyway, leaping onto a dumpster and then through the window of an office building. The snake burst through the front wall as the black ninja ran up the stairs. Before it could strike, Jay shot a bolt of lightning at it from the top of the building. The Devourer screamed and turned around to see the blue ninja standing there. In a fit of rage, it slithered up the sides of the building as if it were constricting it, after a new target. Jay leapt onto the building in front of him as Zane, who was standing on a skyscraper, created a path of ice down to the building Jay was standing on.

"Best Nindroid of all time," Jay said, giving him the thumbs up and running up Zane's path.
The Devourer followed the lightning ninja up the path as Zane ducked for cover, but Kai shot a fireball at the ice walkway, instantly melting it and sending the snake crashing down into a parking lot, landing on a large group of cars and sending metal, glass and dust flying. As it was getting up, dazed from the fall, Garmadon walked to the edge of the skyscraper, all four golden weapons in hand, looking down at the beast.

"Goodbye, old chap," he said, diving off the building and plumetting right into the Devourer's weak point. There was an intensely bright flash for about a second as the two collided. In that one instant, there was a shriek, probably the Devourer's final statement, but it was cut short as the world exploded, and Ninjago City was drenched in a pile of green slime.

FINAL CHAPTAH:



Oakroup was lost.

After being shoved out of a moving bus by Pythor, he had wandered off, seeking shelter from the Devourer's wrath. He had been lucky enough not to encounter it, and stumbled across a forest. Hoping to find someone who would take him in, he explored the woods until he reached a small clearing, and heard a couple of voices bickering.

"Well, we lasted a few weeks on the surface. Is that an accomplishment?" asked one sarcastically.

"Ssssshut up! I'm working on a solution!" It was then Oakroup realized that the bickering entities were Serpentine. He scanned his surroundings, but found nothing until he looked down and noticed the Fangpyre tomb's entrance was sealed shut. He laughed.

The snakes stopped bickering.

"Oakroup?" he heard Skales ask, "Is that you?"

"In the flesh."

"LET US OUT!" the Hypnobrai general shrieked, "Pythor is out of commission, so I'm in charge around here!"

"Not if you're trapped in that pit," Oakroup replied slyly, picking the dirt out of his fingernails.

"Please..." Skalidor's voice begged softly, "I've been trapped in a pit for hundreds of years, and I want to-"

"Oh, I'll let you out," the scientist chuckled, "One one condition."

"And what would that be?" Skales asked.

"You treat me as your equal. You give me the money, I give you the machines. And your ticket out of here." He heard the snakes chattering amongst each other, and after a few seconds, all were silent.

"You have our word," Skales sighed. And so, Oakroup knelt down and opened the door to the Fangpyre tomb, and the entire Serpentine army flooded out in a disorderly fashion.
