This is another Ninjago story of mine and it might be a little scary at some parts but whatever.

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Ninjago

Chapter 1: Crow's Wings

After the defeat of Morro the ninja thought they would never have to deal with another enemy long since ,they were mistaken. All the ninja were training on deck in the middle of the night when the stars went out and a sudden lunar eclipse started.

"No,it cannot be" said Zane

"What can't be Zane" asked Wu in a panic Zane knew something that Wu didn't then it was obviously something dangerous and beyond human understanding. Suddenly black feathers clouded everyone's vision.

"What is with all the crows?" asked Cole,the birds were just flying through him.

"Everyone go inside now" said Zane urgently.

"Why?" asked Jay

"I will explain in a bit just go,NOW" said Zane panicking all ran inside the bounty and barricaded themselves in the game room.

"Ok Zane what the heck is going on that has got you of all people so panicky?" asked Cole

"I shall start from the beginning, when I destroyed the Overlord I spent a week in the afterlife and had the great honor of being one of the personal guards of the first spinjitzu master himself. As a guard I had to help protect him from the ultimate evil of the great beyond. He has many names but to us of the elite guard he was known as Phantom Crow. He was a demon that would make even the Overlord quiver with fear. He swore himself an enemy of us all but gave me a deal. Since I control ice which is feared as much as darkness I could either join him in the underworld or remain part of the elite guard. I chose to remain as a guard of good and therefore he swore to be my enemy for all of eternity. My choice to remain on the side of light had made him more of an enemy to me than to the rest of the guard. Any time he tried to attack he would target me and me alone swearing that he would not stop until I joined him. Time after time I refused to join him and the first spinjitzu master sent me back to ninjago in order to try to keep me as safe from him as now it appears that Phantom Crow has found a way to enter this world and I can only assume that he did it through the realm of Lloyd and Morro's realm jumping must have created a pathway for him to find me and now that he is here he will not rest until my soul is in the underworld with him" said Zane turning to the window where the moon was finally starting to creep out from behind the sun.

"But how do you know that it is him Zane?" asked Wu

"He brings darkness into any realm and I could feel the ultimate darkness threatening to surround me. In realms where mortals dwell the birds of darkness swarm around his target like a beacon" said Zane with a sigh "Since he is after me this means that for the safety of you all I must leave and fight him,alone. Ice Vs Darkness yet again"

"No way Zane,you have given your life for us once. We stand beside you till the end of everything" said Cole. Zane smiled sadly at his friends

" I wish it were that simple, Crow is a very powerful being and a master of deception and evil. You could combine every enemy we have ever fought and the amount of evil would pale in comparison to him. Only a soul of absolute purity has even a slight hope against him. He will leave all of you alone because it is me he is after,but if you side with me and fight him,you all will become vulnerable to his attacks" said Zane

"Zane,you are our brother. This thing has made you it's target and therefore we are his targets too. If we are to fall,we fall together,no matter what" said Kai placing a hand on Zane's shoulder. Zane smiled at his brothers

"Fine but If I say run,you run,if I say hide,you hide. And if I say get behind me,you make sure you are in my shadow" said Zane

"Deal" said Jay

"Sensei,is there any way for you to contact the first spinjitzu master to let him know what is going on,and if there is any way for the rest of the guard to come here" said Zane

"I will see what I can do" said Sensei before going to his room to meditate.

"Zane is there anything you want us to do?" asked Cole with concern

"Step up training,and Lloyd please destroy the realm crystal. That thing means trouble." said Zane

"Of course Zane,you're the leader from now until this is all over" said Lloyd as he went to go get the crystal to destroy it. Zane went to his room clearly stressed out.

"Well boys looks like we have to save ninjago again." said Kai

"From an enemy that would make the overlord wet his pants" said Cole

"Anyone else got a bad feeling about this?" asked Jay

"Yeah,and knowing Zane,not all of us might get out of this alive" said Kai

"You might be right but I really don't want to go through losing him again" said Cole

"Yeah,though if Zane is scared of this thing then we might already be in way over our heads" said Jay.

"Listen it's late and judging by the sounds coming from our room,Zane is punching his headboard in aggravation,we should probably make sure he is ok" said Cole before floating through the the others used the door.
