Oh my godddddd. The NES game I’ve been making actually runs on the NES. Playing a game I made on an old school Nintendo feels insane!!!!!

I’ve got a ways to go before I finish it, but I’m the fact that it actually works on original hardware feels so good!!!!

hi yeah so i was thinking about legacyverse tournament of elements

wrote a little thing set in @the-ninja-legacy-whip ‘s universe. Where Tox and Cole meet each other on the ship to Chen’s island, because the plot bunny wouldn’t leave me alone and I am fickle.

sorry for inevitable inaccuracies. i am the fool. here for a good time not a dignified time

Rockshoot the shit

So Kai was fighting his teacher. And Cole had to admit, he was kind of into it. Even if Karlof wouldn't be his personal teacher of choice for which one to duel if given the opportunity when he was still stuck in school. 

Now, Cole thought that was where the novelty would end in this absolute rollercoaster of a day, but he was wrong. 

He was watching Kai's fight-- as was always the case when Kai fought, it was a flashy, acrobatic affair. Karlof was an absolute truck of a man, but the master of fire was a menace of his own. However, that menace was not exactly great at directing his ire when caught in the moment-- Jay barely managed to duck out of the way of a fireball. 

"Hey! Make hot shots, not pot shots!" Jay yelled in an indignant tone. Lloyd snickered besides him. Sensei Garmadon just pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. 

"I don't need your backseating!" Kai shot back, just in time to totally misjudge the speed of a punch from Karlof, which sent him flying back and off the upper deck. 

Jay ran to where Kai flew over the deck and called down. "Are you crazy sure!?" 

"Move it, Motormouth," Cole said, pulling him to the side before Karlof could steamroll him as he chased Kai. Jay swatted him aside and went to follow Lloyd and the sensei to the lower deck, where they could definitely hear Karlof and Kai continuing to raise hell.

Cole was going to follow, see. That was his plan. Except that a very familiar shade of green caught his attention. He had to do a double-take. 

"Tox?!" 

Tox Ikita was leaning against one of the ship walls. She popped some bubblegum in her mouth and gave a single, saluting wave. "Was wondering when you were going to notice." 

Granted, they had seen each other like, yesterday when Cole was working. But seeing her here felt not unlike meeting her in the Underworld or Caves of Despair. But also, the metalshop teacher was here, so who was Cole to actually be surprised? "What… are you doing here?!"

"Same thing as you, probably," she said in a breezy tone with a smile that told him she was totally enjoying his bewilderment. 

"You're an elemental-- wait-- that explains the eyes-- I just thought they were contacts!" 

She propped her hands behind her head. "And what did you think the rest of the green was?"

Cole couldn't help but gape. "That's what those spots are? I thought you said they were tattoos!"

"Did you believe that?" 

"Well, no, but I didn't…" Cole pressed his palms into his eyes. "Creation's sake, I'm an idiot." 

Now, whatever was going on with Kai must have been exciting, because a moment later, he was flying back up the stairs. He caught himself on the railing and took several hops back, only to double take when he also saw Tox.

"Cole? Isn't that your friend from that Rockrock club?!"

Tox smirked and clapped a hand on Cole's shoulder. "Rockshot. How's it going, Hothead? Still staying out of trouble?" 

There was a sound not unlike a stampeding elephant from below deck. Kai jumped onto then off from the railing just in time for Karlof to barrel right through it with the eagerness of a Lloyd in a candy store. Kai landed on Karlof's back, fire licking his clothes as he attempted to melt through the protective sheen on his former teacher's body. 

"Oh yeah!" he called. "No cleaner nose than--" unfortunately for him, that was when Karlof managed to shake Kai off-- he slammed into the wall, right between Tox and Cole. They could hear it crack from the force. "...Mine." 

"Need a hand?" Cole figured he'd offer. Sensei Garmadon probably wouldn't be thrilled with two of them picking a fight, but also it was better than Kai hurting himself this early on. 

However, he didn't have to walk that line. Kai punched his flaming fist into his palm. "No no, I'm good. All warmed up. Fired up. Whatever." 

With that, Kai shouted a hearty "Ninjaaaaa gooo!" and took off after Karlof.

"Never a dull moment with you, is there, Charcole?"

He rolled his eyes and leaned against the wall next to her. "You have no idea." He hummed and rapped his fingers against his arm. "So, you're an elemental master?" 

"Yep. Honestly, I'm surprised you didn't know that already." 

"Look, I've been busy, the club is dark, and you're like, not even in the top fifty for weirdest characters that hang out in that place." 

She snorted. "True that." Another pop of her gum. "Anyway, master of lightning, right?" 

"Oh yeah," Cole replied quickly. He made two finger gun motions at Karlof, who was currently taking swing after swing at Kai, only to learn just how slippery the fire ninja could be when he put his mind to it. "I look at all the bad guys and just zap zap zap." 

Cole was about to ask what element she controlled, only to realize just how dumb of a question that would have been. "Oh. Element of poison. I probably should have guessed. Explains the vials. And the name."

Tox gave him a mock glare. "Glass houses, Brookstone."

"Hey, I'll throw all the stones I want. It's kind of my thing." 

She tipped her head back and laughed. Cole couldn't help but chuckle at how absurd it all was. 

Somehow, Kai got a good hit in on Karlof, and this time it was his turn to get sent flying to the lower deck. He could see Tox's expression sober.

"Did you get an offer to drag you here, too?" 

Cole felt a pang of… something. Not quite hope, but not quite despair, either. 

"Zane." 

"The ice one, I assume?" she looked away. "It's a nice statue." 

"Yeah… I just… I don't know if I can believe he's alive. We… we saw it happen. I mean, I want him to be alive, of course, but if this is all just some cruel trick--" he paused. "Wait… why did you come here?"

Her expression tightened. "This Chen guy makes a lot of promises."

"Oh."

She chuckled. "Just so you know, I don't plan on letting you and your little crew win. I happen to have a vested interest in winning this tournament." 

Cole couldn't help but feel disappointed. "Even if it's to save the ice ninja?" 

To save a hero? Someone Cole cared about?

"Nope."

Before Cole could protest, she held up a hand and glanced around-- most of the staff seemed preoccupied by the big shiny show that Kai and Karlof were putting on.

"But here's the deal." 

He waited for her to continue.

"Let's say this Chen guy isn't lying, and that he does have your friend. That means he's holding him captive, right?" 

Cole swallowed hard and nodded. He felt a knot in his stomach.

"Well, in my book, nobody that keeps one of the heroes of Ninjago captive for the sake of holding a game show is worth listening to." She crossed her arms and smiled. "So as far as I'm concerned, this guy is asking for it." 

Cole raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going with this, Tox?" 

"We'll get to this stupid little island, and we'll fight in this crazy guy's game. And we'll both do our best. Winner helps the loser get what they came for, yeah? No reason this has to be a zero-sum when the person running it obviously sucks." 

He felt a warmth in his chest that had been missing for… a while now, he realized. 

The guys were with him, and Cole was with them, one-hundred percent. But nothing was the same without Zane. Everything had just felt wrong. Emptier. Colder. For all of them. With Zane gone, everything had felt so much more hostile. Like the entire world was out to get them. Like one moment of weakness would be all it'd take for Cole to lose even more loved ones. 

Cole smiled. "Sounds like a deal." He offered her a fist bump, which she accepted. "After all, us Rockshot DJs have to stick together, right?" 

"You know it! Now c'mon, I wanna see who wins," she replied, guiding him to the circle that had formed around Kai and Karlof's fight on the lower deck.

"Oh, Kai is going to wipe the floor with him. Dude survived an exploding volcano. This is nothing." 

Tox laughed. "For real? And here I thought the legends about the Spinjitzu Masters were all exaggerations. You have to tell me the stories sometime!" 

Maybe they wouldn't be so alone after all.
