Spike The Spinjitzu Master

by Dragonfan101


4: Never Trust a Snake

We open to a shot of the desert where the familiar falcon was flying on screen and onto a wire, the falcon suddenly turns to the camera so say something.
"Wake up Zane, i know where you come from." The falcon said ominously before Zane hit his head from waking up taking heavy breaths. Zane looked out the window and saw the falcon flying outside the ship which caught his attention, he soon went over to the bridge and found Nya and Wu working on their problem.

"The hunt starts early today." Zane said looking at Wu who had a map.
"A watchful eye never sleeps." Wu replied as the clouds were moving around strangely outside..
"As long as Lloyd and the Serpentine roam freely, no one in Ninjago is safe." Nya said seriously as the falcon was just outside.
"Where are Spike and the other's?" Zane asked curiously.
"Training on the upper deck." Wu replied giving him his answer.

Zane proceeded to go out to the deck and saw Spike training with his new Trident, which fascinated Zane with what they know about it.
"I see you are taking putting most of your day into training, that Trident must have something special within it." Zane said walking up to Spike.
"It must, i won't know what it is if i don't all of my heart into it, if i'm gonna be a ninja, i gotta learn to tap into my powers." Spike said trying to make another spark of lightning in his hands.
"It will take time, but your progress is going along greatly." Zane complimented which Spike smiled at.
"Thanks.." Spike said gratefully before they suddenly heard the falcon squawk again and saw it looking down at them.

"You were in my dream little friend, last time we saw you, you lead us to good fortune, what reason have you returned?" Zane asked curious.
"Is there something important we need to know?" Spike asked curiously as well. The falcon soon flew off the ship while Spike and Zane watched it curiously, but something felt off as they felt a dark presence coming behind them.
"Lord Garmadon! But you were banished!" Zane said as they saw him behind them.
"Only to return to retrieve the Golden Weapons, soon i will have the power to recreate Ninjago, in my own image!" Garmadon shouted as he drew two blades and slashed at them.

Spike slid under the swords while Zane flipped above them and they drew they're Golden Weapons.
"Give me your shuriken's of ice!" Garmadon demanded looking at Zane's weapons.
"You'll have to take them from us, Ninja go!!" Zane shouted as he used his Spinjitzu to try and attack Garmadon.
"Ninja.. go!!" Spike screamed as he charged up his Trident and shot a lightning blast at Garmadon and knocked him down.
"Impressive, a 5th Golden Weapon, even i've never heard of it, it makes me wonder which one i'll take from you!" Garmadon shouted as he charged at Spike again.
"How about none?!" Spike shouted with rage as he blocked his swords with his weapon and sweeped his legs, Garmadon was about to attack them once more until something jumped into the scene, a strange green tornado picked up Spike and Zane and put them somewhere safe.

"What?" Spike asked shocked as the tornado faded away and it showed someone in the Green Ninja suit.
"The Green ninja! The Legend is true!" Zane said amazed as this figure threw a large crate at Garmadon that was like Cole's own strength.
"Awesome.." Spike said in awe as they watch Garmadon fight him. Garmadon threw his swords at the ninja and it deflected them away, it then used Spinjitzu again to block more attacks before it began to rapidly punch at Garmadon, he then flipped over Garmadon and pulled out Jay's weapon and charged them up before Garmadon tried one last strike which resulted in the ninja sending him flying off the ship into the skies.
"That was incredible.." Spike said amazed putting his weapon away, they both turned to the ninja who's eyes were on fire, and had the falcon on his shoulder.
"Who are you? Kai? Is that you?" Zane asked confused before they both saw falcons suddenly appearing all over them.
"What is this? Who are you Green Ninja?" Zane asked as his words echoed through the void before his dream finally woke him up for real this time making him hit the bed above him.

"Whoa, you okay Zane? You sure your fine with sleeping on the bottom bunk?" Spike asked helping him out of the bed.
"I'm.. i'm fine.. thanks Spike.." Zane said still in shock from what he just saw.
"Sleeping in huh? Your gonna be late for training." Jay joked at how much he slept last night.
"How come no one awakened me?" Zane asked tiredly looking at them.
"We didn't know if you wanted us to, you looked like it was some dream." Kai answered while Spike was getting some water.

"How do i know this isn't a dream.." Zane asked curious before Cole hit him with his pillow to make sure.
"Did that feel like a dream?" Cole joked which made all of them chuckle.
"No, thank you for your help." Zane replied before all of them just laughed it off.
"Rise and shine buddy.." Spike said helping him up as they all got ready for this next day of training.

They all got into their ninja outfits again and went out to the deck to begin, Spike still loved how cool his ninja suit looked, it was one of the first signs he's growing and becoming closer to being a ninja, and he'll only grow more each day.
"Hehe, a little slow today huh? What were you dreaming about" Kai asked looking at Zane who was still shooken.
"I saw the falcon again." Zane answered which interested all of them.
"Whoa, every time you and Spike see that bird something big happens, first it led you to the secret treehouse." Jay pointed out as Wu walked on the deck.
"Then it led you two to the Bounty." Cole added before Wu decided to begin.

"Alright, stretches, first, the Swooping Crane." Wu instructed getting in a specific pose.
"Did that dream show anything else this time?" Spike whispered curiously to Zane.
"Yes, this time i was shown the Green Ninja." Zane revealed which amazed them.
"The Green Ninja?!" They all asked shocked which got Wu's attention.
"That looks more like the Shocked Monkey. Bad form, more focus." Wu instructed before turning around again.

"You can't just drop a bomb like that, spill the beans!" Jay whispered eager to know.
"What else did you see?" Kai asked interested.
"He was fighting Lord Garmadon." Zane answered once again.
"That's what the prophecy said, that the Green ninja would defeat the Dark Lord. But did happen to see which one of us was him?" Kai asked eager with the others wanting to know too.
"I could not tell, he possessed attributes each one of us possesses" Zane answered making the mystery more interesting.

"Now, Pinching Crab." Wu instructed again getting in another pose.
"Well tell us everything, there has to be a clue that tells us which one of us is gonna be the Green.. ow ow ow ow!" Kai said in pain as Wu had enough and grabbed his spiky hair.
"What was so important to ignore my teachings?" Wu asked upset at this.
"Sorry master.." Spike said giving a respectful bow while the others tried making an excuse.

"Since you all appear to be lacking the focus, then you can all share in the punishment." Wu declared which made all of them groan in annoyance.
"I was merely answering they're questions!" Zane said in defense, but Wu wasn't having it.
"No free time and no video games, the rest the day can be used for training, and tomorrow for that matter." Wu declared once more.
"What?!" Spike asked shocked as even this was a little harsh.
"Training?! For how long?!" Kai asked shocked as Wu began to leave.

"Until you can answer this simple riddle, what is the best way to defeat an enemy?" Wu asked which made all of them try to give an answer, but none of them were correct.
"Pace yourselves, you have a lot of training ahead of you. Patience sharpens your mind, as well as your Spinjitzu, Spike doesn't even know it yet, it's best he takes this time to try and learn it." Wu instructed before leaving them alone, Cole sighed sadly and went to get a staff.
"What's the best way to defeat an enemy? It could be anything." Cole asked as the equipment activated for Spike and the other's to begin.
"How am i supposed to learn Spinjitzu with this mystery blocking my focus?" Spike asked flipping over the dummy's on the spinning devices.
"I don't know Spike, but we all may find out if we hear more about this dream." Kai said walking up to Zane.
"Yeah, this could help, what else did you see?" Spike asked curious looking up at him.
" Let me just say, the Green Ninja is awesome!" Zane said amazed as he proceeds to tell them what he saw.

We cut to a shot on a snowy mountain where Lloyd was leading a charge against the Hypnobrai after recruiting the Fangpyre. The Serpentine turned vehicles approached upon the Hypnobrai army as they were close to battle.
"Now the Hypnobrai will know what happens when they betray me, Lloyd Garmadon!.. uh.. do your thing Fangpyre, i let you out of your hole for a reason." Lloyd said a little nervous still.
"Attack!" Fangtom ordered and all the Fangpyre charged at them, but when the tribes came face to face with eachother, Scales and Fangtom both stopped the charge.
"Scales my old chum!... i did not think i'd be fighting you!" Fangtom said surprised that he was the General now.
"If it isn't the Fangpyre! Of all the cold blooded to creep up on us, i am glad that it is a friend!" Scales said glad to see them which shocked Lloyd greatly.

"Wait, i thought you were enemy's, not friends!" Lloyd said shocked as they all looked at him.
"We were at war... but seeing Scales is now leading them... well i don't see why we can't become them!" Fangtom explained which just confused Lloyd.
"Had you released the Constrictai, the Venomari, or heaven forbid the Anacondrai, then we would've had a tussle." Scales explained which Lloyd found upsetting.

"A tussle? A tussle? But i'm Lloyd Garmadon! Bringer of evil!" Lloyd shouted upset at this.
"He he, what should we do with him?" Scales asked looking at Fangtom.
"I could turn him into one of us." Fangtom suggested which scarred Lloyd greatly.
"Mmm nah the little kid is pretty useless." Scales replied which made him laugh.
"What if you hypnotize him, and make him think he's a pig?" Fangtom suggested which made Scales chuckle.
"That would be pretty funny!" Scales replied which made Lloyd have enough. Lloyd quickly tried to escape the dozens of Serpentine approaching him, he tried to climb up on one of the Serpentine vehicles, but that was sentient and it flung it's tail high above it which sent Lloyd flying far away from the army while screaming.
Lloyd kept screaming as he flew far away from the snakes and landed face first in the snow and grumbled with annoyance as he got out of it.

Spike and the others were still at the Bounty listening to Zane's tale as he was just finishing up on the story.
"And his fist was on fire." Zane finished which amazed them all.
"How was i able to talk with you like that?" Spike asked curious on this.
"Perhaps it is because the bond you and i forged, and with your new Golden Trident, it may have impacted the vision in a way." Zane suggested as Spike pulled out his trident.
"I'm still confused on how to use this thing, how were you guys able to tap into them?" Spike asked looking at the other ninja's weapons.
"Part of that reason is that we focused our minds, i'm sure if you push past any fear that's holding you back, you could forge an awesome vehicle like our own." Cole suggested looking at his Scythe.

"You can forge vehicles with these things?! What kind?!" Spike asked excitedly looking at his weapon.
"Any kind from what we thought of, from Jet's to Tanks, to Motorcycles, just try and picture what you'd wanna ride on." Kai suggested which amazed him.
"Perhaps your vehicle will be different based on your Elemental power, you have 4 from what we know by now, and if you have even more, you could forge something special from them." Zane suggested as well which made things more exciting.
"Focus your mind.. try and tap into the weapons power.." Spike told himself as Wu had finally come out and saw them talking.

"Since you are talking instead of training, you must've already found an answer to my riddle. What is the best way to defeat your enemy?" Wu said which got the ninja's attention. Spike thought over on what the ninja told him, and what lessons he's learned about Friendship from Celestia, if the ninja's suggestions of fighting isn't correct, maybe..
"Um.. to focus your mind, and make them your friend sensei?" Spike suggested which confused them a little.
"Make them your friend Spike, really?" Jay asked confused at this.
"What? Friendship was one of the biggest lessons i knew back in Equestria." Spike said in defense.
"Come on, making them your friend couldn't possibly..." Kai said before Wu interrupted him.

"You are correct Spike, it is to make them your friend." Wu replied which shocked them all.
"Whoa what?!"" Cole asked shocked hearing that Spike was right.
"There is more to defeating an enemy then violence, i see Spike was clearly taught good lessons back home, i hope you all take in those lessons too ninja." Wu explained while they were all shocked still.
"Oh..." They all said at once while Spike had a smug look on him.
"Thank you Twilight." Spike said gratefully glad he was right.

Lloyd was currently traveling through the dessert and was holding up the Serpentine Tomb map he had.
"Had you released the Constrictai, the Venomari, or heaven Forbid the Anacondrai, we would've surely had a tussle." Lloyd mocked in an annoyed tone at that memory, but when he pulled the map down, he saw a large looking tomb that looked like a fang.
"I found it!" Lloyd said in surprise as he quickly ran up to the door to open it.
"The Anacondrai, the most feared and powerful Serpentine of them all! If they're afraid of the Anacondrai, then the Anacondrai is what they're gonna get!" Lloyd said making an evil laugh as he opened the doors.

The doors to the tomb were finally opened, and the place was filled with nothing but a faint light, and skeletons of tons of different snakes from the looks of it. Lloyd was a little nervous when he walked through here, but something appeared behind him and scarred him as it was revealed to be one of the Anacondrai.
"My sincerest apologies young man, do to my unfortunate appearance i tend to have an unsettling affect on people. I believe you dropped this, there you are.." The snake said handing Lloyd his flashlight.
"Uh.. thank you.. what happened to the other's?" Lloyd asked nervously looking at the skeletons.
"Oh those poor unfortunate souls. Locked away for years, must've starved away until they were nothing but scales and bones. And who might you be my little appet... uh.. friend?" The snake asked looking down at him.

"Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon, and future dark ruler." Lloyd said dramatically which made him chuckle.
"Oh how deliciously evil! If i had feet, i would be trembling in my boots." The snake said laughing at that answer.
"And uh.. who are you?" Lloyd asked curious still.
"I am Pythor P. Chumsworth, and since you freed me, i am eternally in your service." Pythor said with a smug on his face.
"Really?.. your not gonna trick me?" Lloyd asked still suspicious of him.
"Oh why would i trick you? I hardly have any friends." Pythor said looking around the empty tomb.

"Whoa, i hardly have any friends too!" Lloyd said surprised a little.
"You don't say?" Pythor replied with a playful smile.
"Hey, why don't you become my loyal henchman? I've been betrayed by both the Hypnobrai and the Fangpyre, so i'm looking for a little revenge on them and some ninja as well as a talking dragon too." Lloyd said as Pythor saw the little map he had.
"I love revenge!" You know Floyd?" Pythor asked slithering up to him.
"It's Lloyd." Lloyd corrected as Pythor took his hand.
"Whatever.. i have a feeling this is the start of a beautiful friendship.." Pythor said as they began to leave the tomb together.

We cut back to the bounty once again where Spike and the other's were training still, despite them not having to train so much now since they got the riddle right, Spike was still needing to train to master his powers and weapon. Spike was twirling his Trident around quickly as he was getting a hang on the reflexes that comes with it.
"So, i gotta ask guys, when it comes to reflexes, how good are yours?" Spike asked as he swung it around while the other's watched him.
"Well, it mainly depends on the situation we're having, and it also could depend on the weapon we use. While i have good strength and hit hard, my reflexes aren't that fast because i wield such a heavy weapon. So even with your Trident, there ill be more to how you react when fighting with it." Cole explained holding out his weapon along with the other's.
"Cole is right Spike, defense is meaningless if you don't know how to use it, it also depends on how we approach the battle too, whether or not it's from stealth, full out attack, or defense and waiting for the right moment." Zane added while Spike tried to use one of his powers.

"And what about your powers? What helps you use them?" Spike asked trying to spark up some lightning.
"Well, that mainly is thanks to our weapons, we wouldn't be able to use our powers without them, and i'm sure your weapon will help you further too." Jay said pulling out his chucks.
"You mean you can't use your powers on your own? What if you lose them one day? if you don't know how to use your powers without them, then taking down the enemy would be far harder." Spike suggested trying to focus his lightning while the other's thought about that.
"He has a point guys, we may not hold onto these forever, our powers can be strong with them, but maybe we can find a way to be stronger when we don't have them." Kai replied looking at them who were interested as well.

"Huh, that's honestly a good point, guess we all learn something from eachother huh?" Cole asked as Spike was focusing even harder which they noticed.
"Don't try to hard Spike, move at your own pace, and that'll help you uncover them." Zane advice which Spike listened to. Spike stopped trying so hard and began to calm down, Spike a took breath and focused himself.
"Focus.." Spike told himself as he placed his hands on his trident, Spike began to focus his mind into the weapon, letting the lightning flow through them both, Spike felt the lightning coursing through him, and that's when he finally started tapping into it. Spike groaned as he his claws were sparking up with lightning, and that made the weapon react to it by having Lightning surround it too while the ninja watched with shock.

"Whoa, he's actually doing it!" Kai said amazed as Spike channeled the power even more, he could feel the lightning tingling his whole body, and it only grew stronger the more he held it in, and he knew he had to let it out. Spike groaned even more as his entire body lit up with lightning, and he opened his eyes showing the pupils became pure light blue with cackles flowing through the veins.
"You can do it Spike! Focus!" Zane encouraged as Spike raised the weapon in the air, Spike focused the power into the weapon to deliver a strong strike, he made a loud cry of anger as he jumped into the air, and with one move, he slammed the Trident down which sent a shockwave of lightning across the deck which even shocked the ninja, both figuratively and literally making them groan in pain while having smoke come out from them.
"I think he focused to hard.." Cole said coughing at the collateral damage that just happened.

Spike breathed heavily as his body returned to normal and he fell on his knees from using that power, it was draining, but it was something else to say the least.
"Spike? Are you alright?" Jay asked as they came up to him.
"I'm.. fine.. that move took a lot out of me.. at least i was able to tap into the lightning affectively.." Spike said breathing heavily as he tried to get up.
"Your focus was strong Spike, if you keep that up, you'll be able to master it without trouble, you did great Spike." Cole said patting his back which made him smile.
"Yes, you were good Spike, but you mustn't channel so much at once, if you deliver a strike like that in battle, and the enemy is still going, you will lose." Zane advised while Spike was recovering still.
"Yeah, i'll keep that in mind.. thanks guys.." Spike said gratefully as he stood up again, finally recovering from the attack.

But they're talking was stopped once again when they heard the alarm went off which alerted them.
"What's that?!" Spike asked worried at the loud alarms.
"Who knows? Let's check it out!" Kai shouted as they ran into the deck of the ship to find where the problem was coming from while Nya had been monitoring it.
"What's going on Nya?" Spike asked worried waiting for the instructions.
"Lloyd and a Serpentine have taken over Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys." Nya reported having a worried look.
"Hmph, that place is an asset pool for the crooked and the misbehaved." Jay said annoyed clutching his fist.
"Well that doesn't mean they need our help, step on it!" Cole ordered ready to fight, Zane went over to the button and pressed on it, this activated the ships thrusters once again, it's sail spread out wide and it began to float, Spike and the others got on they're ninja outfits and we're ready to go.
"Ninja go!!" They all shouted with determination as the thrusters took off and the ship went flying through the sky's at fast speeds heading towards the school.

We now cut to the boarding school Lloyd and Pythor had taken over for revenge of Lloyd being rejected, Lloyd and Pythor skated around the place after everyone was tied up.
"Hey, how are the booby traps?" Lloyd asked looking up at Pythor.
"Every door, window and hole in this place, are spring loaded!" Pythor reported having a proud look.
"Again, i'm sick of those ninja sneaking they're way into my evil headquarters.." Lloyd said annoyed as they skated through the place even more.

Spike and the ninja arrived at the boarding school and were directly above it.
"Looks quiet down there, should we infiltrate using stealth?" Zane asked as he and Spike looked down from below.
"I don't think so, he's most likely got traps over the place." Spike replied trying to figure something out too.
"What about using our Golden weapons and turn them into vehicles?" Kai asked walking up to them while Cole was working on his.
"I'm still working on the kinks on that, plus Spike's still gotta get one of his own, any other good ideas?" Cole asked looking over them.
"Hmm.. well, i have one idea, but you guys gotta trust me." Jay replied which worried some of them.
"Oh, i don't think i like the sound of this.." Kai said nervous on what he's planning.
"It's something we're not gonna do again probably.." Spike added shaking his head on this idea he's having.

Lloyd and Pythor went up to the rooftop to be on the lookout for them.
"Relax, we've made the perfect trap. We're in broad daylight so there isn't any shadows. But even if they could get in.." Pythor said right before something moved by far below them.
"What was that?!" Lloyd asked worried on what they saw, Pythor aimed a cannon they had to where they found it, he shot a net from the cannon far off the roof and it landed to where the creature was, but they saw it was only a lizard who escaped from the net when the dust cleared.
"Um.. yeah.. good uh.. good reflexes.. i was just testing you.. if i know these ninja, they're cleverly sneaking past us at this very moment." Lloyd said while Pythor shook his head a little annoyed.

Spike and the other's were ready to do Jay's plan, which Spike already saw was terrible.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Jay?" Spike asked scarred as they hung onto the anchor from the bounty trying not to fall off.
"Just hold on tight guys!" Jay shouted before he turned to Nya to give her the signal, Nya was on the bridge and pressed the button that made the anchor lower at fast speeds. Spike and the ninja screamed in fear as the anchor went down so fast even Lloyd and Pythor barely saw it coming and rolled out of the way as the anchor went crashing through all the floors of the boarding school.
Spike and the other's groaned as they were recovering from the long and fast fall.
"Okay, let's agree to never do that again." Cole suggested which the others agreed to.
"Absolutely." Spike replied rubbing his head from the fall, they heard muffled voices and they saw two skeletons and the kids of the school were all tied up.

Cole raised up his Scythe and all the kids looked really scarred before Cole cut off the rope and freed them all.
"Stay out of school kids!" Cole said as they all ran out of the room while Cole turned to the Skeletons.
"Well well well, Cruncha and Knuckle. Substitute teachers huh? If we cut you down, we better not catch you hanging around Ninjago again." Cole said as they both were muffled from duck tape.
"Or else.." Cole said right before he cut them free making them fall on they're faces before they got up and quickly ran away.
"Heh, talking skeletons, that's not that new to be honest." Spike said casually as they ran out of the room.
"He's on the top floor, let's get him!" Kai shouted as they saw Lloyd at the top of the roof which started to worry him.
"Ninja go!!" They all shouted as some of them used Spinjitzu, and Spike ran out of the room with Jay.

Zane and Kai used Spinjitzu to move up the stairs while Cole climbed up the chain, a small bell was heard and Spike and Jay flipped into an elevator. They both stood by eachother's side and waited for it to arrive at the top while relaxing music plays.
"Not a bad elevator tune." Spike complimented which Jay agreed to.
"Totally agree on that." Jay replied as they high fived eachother. Pythor was waiting in the classroom for the ninja and had placed a trap for them, Kai and Zane went all the way up the stairs and kicked open the door to the room, but that caused a bucket full of slime to cover them up which stopped they're progress.
"I.. can't move!" Zane said shocked as he and Kai tried to escape while Pythor laughed evilly along with Lloyd.

But Cole was climbing up even more and Lloyd was starting to get scarred as he was getting closer. Spike and Jay were still waiting in the elevator and we're starting to get bored from the wait.
"A little slow though.." Spike added as he and Jay were starting to fall asleep but kept eachother awake. Cole came upon the classroom Pythor was in and got ready to fight, but Pythor pulled on a rope that made him trip over, causing a massive dust cloud to come from the damage making him cough in response. The elevator bell rung and Spike and Jay flipped out.
"Finally, that was way longer then needed!" Spike said drawing his Trident.
"ugh, he's got a Serpentine with him, watch out for booby traps!" Cole warned as Spike helped him up.
"Eh.. that's one big snake!" Jay said with fear as he saw Pythor slither out of the room.
"Come on, let's get them!" Spike shouted as they ran after the two.

Lloyd was running around the rooftop in fear as Pythor got back up to the top.
"They're coming! They're coming! They're coming!!" Lloyd screamed in fear as Pythor closed a hatch to stop them for a bit. They hoped the board would stay closed but it was burst open and Jay and Spike came out with they're weapons drawn.
"Shocked to see us?" Jay asked as they charged up they're lightning.
"That was pretty bland as a pun." Spike replied charging up his powers.

"Do something!" Lloyd ordered while they backed up, but Pythor looked down at the map he had and took it while chuckling evilly.
"Wh.. what are you doing? I thought you were my friend!" Lloyd asked in fear as Pythor opened it up.
"All you wanted to do was to make the Serpentine your slaves! Well sorry my dear boy, i have other plans.." Pythor said before he suddenly vanished before them.
"Whoa.. that's pretty cool honestly.." Spike said a little shocked that he was just gone like that. Lloyd backed up from them all in fear as the Bounty lowered down with Wu and Nya walking onto the roof.

"Lloyd Garmadon! You come here right now!" Wu ordered upset at the trouble he's caused.
"I got em!" Jay said as he picked up Lloyd over his shoulder making him really scarred.
"Hey, let me go!" Lloyd whined as the ninja got to the rooftop.
"What should we do with him? Wash his mouth out with soap, for a year?" Cole suggested.
"Ground him indefinitely?" Kai suggested as well.
"Have him sit in a corner for a century?" Zane suggested too, but Spike didn't like that, as he knew Lloyd was very young.
"Guys, that's to harsh even for you, what should we do with him sensei?" Spike asked looking at Wu.
"I know exactly what we must do Spike." Wu replied while Lloyd was looking scarred.

We cut to the Bounty after nighttime had fallen, and Wu was reading Lloyd a bedtime story.
"And that is why Jack the Rabbit never trusts a snake." Wu finished as he and Spike stood over him.
"If my dad had red me that book, i'd have never made that mistake. I'm sorry guys.." Lloyd said regretfully while Spike felt sad for him too.
"Oh, you do not need to apologize, i am sure that if your father was still here, it would be the first book he'd read.." Wu assured as the other ninja watched them.
"I never knew either of my birth parents, but i definitely would've loved hearing bedtime story's from them that's for sure. We all make mistakes Lloyd, your still very young, and there's more to you then you may know." Spike added smiling at him while Lloyd was a little surprised.

"You never knew your parents?" Lloyd asked a little surprised hearing this.
"Yeah.. i didn't know them, but that doesn't mean i'm not grateful for what i had back home, and what i do now. But that's not too important for now, just know that you shouldn't trust a snake, they don't hesitate to bite." Spike assured while Wu smiled at them both.
"Spike is right Lloyd, our family can come in many ways, i am still here for you. Sweet dreams nephew." Wu said tucking him in while Lloyd yawned tiredly.
"Good night uncle.." Lloyd said with a smile as he began to fall asleep, the ninja quickly left as Spike and Wu headed out.

They went up to the deck of the ship to finish the talk with them.
"I don't get it guys." Kai said confused as they joined up with them.
"Why isn't the little brat getting punished?" Jay asked annoyed at this.
"Yeah, he released the Serpentine and yet he gets read a bedtime story? It's not fair." Cole added confused as well.
"Remember the answer to the riddle Spike gave you all?" Wu asked as he finally turned to them all.
"Um.. yeah why?" Kai asked a little confused still.

"That's why Kai, the best way to defeat an enemy, is to make them your friend. You guys need to understand he's still very young, he was just trying to fit in with what he was taught. I'm sure if he wasn't taught stuff at that school, he never would've done the stuff he did." Spike explained as he knows he was just naïve and innocent.
"Spike is right again, there's more to winning then violence, making them your friend is also something to take to heart." Wu said agreeing to this explanation.
"Oh.. right..." They all said at once as they finally understood this. Spike and the others went back to Lloyd's room and looked over him as he slept, they were just glad they finally understood this, and now had someone new to help as well..
