Ninjago Season 1: Episode 2: Home

Ninjago Season 1: Episode 2: Home

Old man hears fighting noises and nearly gives himself a heart attack only to find his students playing viddy games and eating pizza actually training. White pulls big brain gamer move and freezes the entire gaming course, but the other three get salty they just got trounced and complain for old man to “White op please nerf”. They think he’s strange (rude). The best character shows up and hands them the mail. Red gets fan-letters (somehow), Blue gets home (roll credits) letters, and Black gets a big slab of unidentified meat. White gets no mail because he is lonely and has no family. For some reason neither Red (also an orphan) or Black (hates his dad and mom’s dead) comment and relate.

Meanwhile smol unsupervised parentless homeless gremlin child is ordering funky snake men to build him a treehouse. Why the child thinks snakes that lived underground in a frozen wastelands know how to build treehouses is beyond me but their construction prowess is surprisingly sound. Snakes want their funky magic stick back from the ninja but big snake man who saw his reflection says they need to build the treehouse. Snake general is salty.

White cooks amazing meal but because he is wearing a pink apron (icon) the others laugh in a really mean way. They better have bought him a new apron after. White is confused but they start a food fight because none of them appreciate the amount of work White put into cooking. Fine. Let them all get poisoned by Black.

White takes out trash later and sees Birb. Birb do funky dance. White do funky dance back. White follow Birb into forest and sees big treehouse. White leads Blue, Black, and Red to treehouse. Red thinks they can cut it down. They do- mostly. Black is actually a sleeper agent and attacks them. Old man arrives and plays a song and everything is okay.

It is not.

The snakes burn down empty monastery and the squad (rude!!) blames White. White flies away. Good for him. 

The snake leader loses his job after getting Fang-Kwon-Do’d. Snake general is new snake leader. He loses his legs but gets a cool stick and tail. Child is kicked out but he is now Dora the Explorer and has a map.

Squad is struggling with no shelter or food. They feel bad for how they treated White (finally!). White flies back. White was actually following Birb this whole time and found cool ship in the desert. They have a new home now. They party and have another food fight as if they didn’t just have little to no food. Gremlin child passes by desert ship and feels sad but keeps walking because he is definitely evil.

Okay Ninjago fandom, let’s see if we can play a game.

I’m going to briefly summarise the plot of of the first pilot episode in a comedic way, and the next person must do the same for the next episode. Each person must check the reblogs to so they can do the most recent episode, and we should just have a chain of simplified Ninjago episodes. You are allowed to reblog this multiple times. I’ll start:

Ninjago Pilots: Episode 1 - Way of the Ninja

Local independent business owner, Kai, gets heckled by an old man and then biker skeletons show up and kidnap Kai’s sister for no reason. The old man tells Kai that the skeletons work for his evil brother who he pushed into a hole once, and then he promises to teach Kai the art of spinning real fast. However Kai only learns the art of spilling the tea. Then Kai gets attacked by ninja and must fight them with his toothbrush!

Fic Prompt #1!

Boreas = Show Zane

Red = Movie Kai

Ship Name: Icedcoffee (technically a version of opposite shipping)

----

"Do not give me that look."

Red peeks over the kitchen island. "But Boreasssss-"

Boreas shakes his head. "Absolutely not. I sincerely apologize, but i cannot allow you to continue with this."

Red shoots him his best puppy-dog eyes. Boreas tightens the Look of Disappointment™️ on his face, though his fingers tremble ever so slightly. "I said no, Lantern, and that is final. It is for your own health."

Red climbs onto the kitchen island and slides over it so he's standing in front of Boreas. "Pleeeeaaaassse? I need it for cryptid hunting."

"You cannot go cryptid hunting tonight, it is a school night," Boreas counters, though there's a faint hitch to his voice. "I'm sorry, Red, but for the sake of your health and grades-"

His boyfriend leans into him, peering up with wide amber eyes and a faint pout. "But tonight's a great night for hunting Mothman... the moon is full and everything..."

The slight tremble to Boreas' fingers increases as he turns his head to the side, avoiding looking at Red. "I'm sorry. Please do not give me that look, this is for your own good."

"Okay..."

Red's quiet voice makes Boreas pause, and the tall nindroid makes the mistake of looking back down at his boyfriend.

His power source melts.

"Perhaps..." he starts, voice cracking. "Perhaps I can brew you an alternative mix. The "Potion of Could Kill the FSM", as you call that dreadful mix of caffeine, sugar, and 5-hour energy, is very bad for your health and I cannot in good mind allow you to drink it, especially at such an unreasonable hour. But perhaps... perhaps I can instead brew you some nice hot chocolate, and we could curl up with a movie together?"

Red looks at him as if he just offered him a plate of gold. "Cuddling? You and me?"

His face slowly goes red with a blush, and a few embers flicker in his gelled hair.

Aha. Boreas has him hooked now.

"Yes," he says. "Perhaps we can share a blanket? You could rest in my lap as well."

Red starts to bounce in joy. "Screw Mothman, I'm finding us the coziest blanket in the house-"

Boreas smiles. "That would be lovely, Lantern."

Red beams back. "Anything for you, Snowball!"

The coffee is poured down the drain as Red races out of the room, and Boreas chuckles to himself.

He really is in love with this bi disaster, isn't he.

Ninjago Season 1: Episode 4: Never Trust a Snake

White has a dream where funky birb tells him to “WAKE UP, ZANE.” White follows birb’s advice and wakes up. Everything still feels inception-y and when he’s on the deck Lord G, the man, the myth, the legend shows up and demands the ice triangles and other golden plot devices. White says no. Lord G slam dunks him in a trash can.

Green Ninja ex machina appears to save him, posing dramatically with the birb.

“Who are you?” White wonders.

He never finds out because birbs flood the deck.

White wakes up for real but thinks he’s still in inception- a pillow to the face clears that up. The Fruity Bois train and do stretches on the deck with very awkward lego animation. Grumpy Old Man asks them a riddle because he is a sphinx now. They must answer the riddle, but fail miserably because they all role nat 1 on Wisdom and are more focused on who will be the Green Ninja

Meanwhile, GarmaGremlin takes the Vampire Sneks across the snow to fight the Hypno Sneks. Turns out Vampire Snek leader and Hypno Snek are total dude bros / speed run enemies to lovers and the war is called off. GarmaGremlin runs off with no allies.

He wanders the desert because this kid can just travel huge distances in short time and finds a tomb. Only one snek is inside. Very casually implied cannibalism in a kid’s show. Friendship with Hypno Snek and Vampire Snek over, now Pythor P. Chumsworth is his new best friend / henchman.

They steal candy from triplets and other very evil deeds. GarmaGremlin trauma dumps on Pythor P. Chumsworth and says he was kicked out of bad boi school because he’s a not-bad-sad-boi. Pythor P. Chumsworth suggests revenge even though we are several seasons away from a snake that wants revenge.

Grumpy Old Man still does not have an answer to his cryptic riddle. The Fruity Bois go to stop GarmaGremlin and Pythor P. Chumsworth at bad boi school. They break through the roof on an anchor and find kidnapped bad bois at the bottom, then race up. Blue takes the elevator. Black climbs the chains. Blue takes the elevator. Red and White take the stairs and get slimed. Blue takes the elevator.

Did I mention Blue takes the elevator.

Pythor P. Chumsworth is confronted by Blue, because the elevator was actually the one choice they didn’t expect, grabs the map, snitches on the kid, and dips. Blue kidnapps GarmaGremlin.

GarmaGremlin, being Grumpy Old Man’s nephew, gets read a bedtime story. Riddle is finally solved. GarmaGremlin is now GarmaLesserGremlin.

Side Blog Project Assignment

Hey all! Usually I don’t self-promote but, while not Ninjago based, I have a major project for homework where I need to make a Tumblr Blog with 3 short stories & transmedia elements based on one of the listed prompts. I chose “Alone together” and am happy to announce a fun little blog project called “Lonely Letters from Xeria”, a found family fantasy isekai original story for your enjoyment! 

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/lonely-letters-from-xeria

I will be posting small updates daily (along with the big letter updates roughly once a week) for the next 3 weeks ; character asks are highly welcome and appreciated (though they might not be answered immediately)- feel free to check it out, ask questions if you wish (anon is available if you prefer that), you can spam questions now if you want and I'll save them for the journey, etc. or send asks during the event as the story unfolds

I hope you enjoy!

Here's an ask for the Evil Ninja Force AU

I think Wu would definitely try to work things with his students

Oh he absolutely tries. He's not going to get too far, because those six have each other's back tighter than anything and they're sick of the city's crap, but he might be able to get them to tone it down on the world domination thing a little.

They still rule the city though, at least, and maybe a few surrounding islands / continents (hc that the other realms are continents in the movie!verse, like Djinnjago and the Never Realm and the Cloud Kingdom and whatnot)

S!Kai 53

"You’re right. I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m just making it up as I go along."

As soon as the words are out of his mouth, Kai feels three pairs of eyes turn to him.

Whoops. He probably shouldn’t have admitted it after all.

Well, no turning back now! He’s the elemental master of fire, unfortunately, not the elemental master of time.

Cole raises an eyebrow, eye twitching ever so slightly. “…you’re joking, right?”

Jay has far less tact, grabbing Kai by the shoulders and shaking him. “Kai, this is a really bad time for jokes, but you better be joking, because so help me if you don’t actually know what you’re doing when you suggested this plan in the first place and we only went with it because there’s so little options even Zane couldn’t compute one that doesn’t end in HORRIBLE DISASTER—”

“I’m sure Kai know what he’s doing,” Zane pipes up, though there’s almost a pleasing look in his eyes as he turns to Kai. “That is correct, no?”

Kai shrugs. “About 25% of that sentence was right.”

“The… ‘correct’, yes?”

“Try the ‘no’.”

That was evidently the wrong thing to say, as all three of his teammates now look like they want to strangle him.

Their faults for trusting him. Yes, sometimes he has thought-out plans— and sometimes he does not.

“So you’re telling us—” Jay starts, and oh boy Kai already knows this is going to end screechy, “—that you suggested this plan. Knowing you don’t know what your doing. Making it up as we go. For a situation where we really ducking need a plan or we’re all gonna DIE, BECAUSE WE’RE ABOUT TO BUNGIE-JUMP INTO THE PIT THE GREAT DEVOURER ONCE EMERGED FROM TO TRY TO FIND A REMAINING SCALE TO LIFT AN ANCIENT CURSE AND HOPING WE DON’T GET EATEN BY AN EVEN BIGGER SNAKE IN THE DARKNESS—”

Okay, getting too screechy now. Kai gives him a light nudge. “Just trust me.”

Jay goes flailing down the pit with a shriek. Cole turns to look at Kai. “You do remember we’re all connected to the same rope, right?”

Kai blanks. “Uhhh—”

And that’s all the warning he has before the slack stops being slack and yanks him into the pit after Jay.
