Kai looked up as the sky darkened. Just moments ago the Sun had been shining brightly on the dojo. Now there were thick blackish-grey clouds. Either a storm was coming or...Kai shook his head. he didn't want to think of the other possibility.
Kai looked to his follow ninjas. They all had noticed the sudden coverage too. They were probably all thinking the same as he was. But only one of them would know for certain.
"Well, Zane," said Kai breaking the silence, "What do you think? Storm or something worse?"
"Worse," Zane replied morbidly as he removed his mask, "I sense that they are signs of Lord Garmadon's coming. And Sensei won't be back for a few more days."
"Look like were facing Lord Garmadon on our own this time," said Jay, "well except for the dragons of course. I mean they're meant to help us guard the four treasures. I always wondered how..."
"I think," said Cole breaking him off, "That we should head inside and guard the 4 golden weapons."
The others agreed and headed inside. Each of them took the weapon destined to them. Kai got his golden Katana which held the power of fire. Jay had golden nunchucks with the power of lightning. Cole had a golden scythe with the power of earth. Zane had shurikens with the power of ice. Along with that they had each tamed a dragon also relating to the element of their weapon.
"What about at night?" Jay asked, "I don't know about you but I'll never impress Nia unless I get my beauty sleep."
Kai couldn't help but laugh at that. Something about Jay having a crush on his sister always amused him. perhaps it was the fact that the one thing that had attracted him at first was that she liked the color blue.
He finally stopped laughing enough to say, "Jay, I'm sure she'll understand, but your right we probably will have to do nights in shifts."
"I'm not sure if that's safe," said Zane, "the 4 weapons are dangerous when brought together. one person guarding them puts a risk for that forwards. That's why Sensei separated them when his brother betrayed him."
"We'll take shifts of two then. Kai and Zane will take the first shift. Jay and I will take the second. Agreed?" Cole asked.
The ninjas all agreed and prepared for the night ahead.
That night Kai and Zane sat at their stations. Kai guarding the katana and scythe and Zane guarding the shurikens and nunchucks.
Jay walked up to them and handed them two bowls of seasoned rice.
"Just incase you two get hungry. You'll be here for a while," he explained.
Kai nodded, "Thanks, Jay. Good night."
"Good night!" Jay replied heading to his room.
Hours later Kai and Zane turned quickly to the sound of foot prints. There were 3 skeletons going for the weapons.
"Oh no you don't!" yelled Kai grabbing his own Katana. He had yelled hoping to alert the others.
One of the skeletons grabbed the Golden Katana and let out a ball of fire too quick for Kai to dodge. It hit his side and pushed him through the wall. Kai came to rest at the edge of the mountain cliff.
The Skeleton raised the Katana preparing to launch another fireball at Zane, when Cole kicked the skeleton with both feet.
"Thanks," said Zane attacking another skeleton with his regular shurikens. There was not enough room to safely use Spinjitsu.
Jay joined the fight milliseconds later his nunchucks swinging furiously. a skeleton ran at him with a spear. Jay quickly side stepped and used his nunchucks to knock the weapon out of his enemy's boney hands.
The Spear went flying through the hole the ball of fire had made and landed in a weak spot in the rocks near where Kai lay.
Suddenly Zane felt a strong Sense of danger. He turned to his fallen friend and saw the crack made by the spear widen. The cliff edge was going to break off taking Kai with it!
