The Hammerhead Shark stood up. "You're right. It's time to free ourselves!" He let out a loud battle cry, him and Blutlock The Swordfish continuing to do this as they rammed themselves into the door over and over. The Alligator just stood there, probably noticing the futility. The Piranha turned around, seeing Squig Krakenbeard. He looked shocked, and spoke in a sad voice. "Cap'n..." the other pirates stopped ramming their faces into the door to stare in amazement. The Piranha continued. "We thought you were dead!" The captain stood up, using one of his tentacle hands to lift up the brim of his cap. "It seems we're all back together again. Except for poor Terr. But alas, there is no way to escape The Deep End from this side."
Back at the Bridge, Ichor turned back around to Oscar, rubbing his hands. "So, now that situation is dealt with, let's..." "No." Oscar said. Ichor looked down with disdain. "What?" "No. Nah. Nay. Nada. Is this getting through your head? I'm not helping you man." Ichor looked angry. "Then they'll all die." Oscar stared him down. "For a self-professed smart guy you and me both should know neither of us was ever going to agree to those terms. You really should have expected this." Ichor chuckled heartily. "Oh, these games. Of course i did." He held up the Tech Shard in his gauntlet, and crushed it. Oscar looked on in horror as the crystal pieces tumbled to the floor. "How?" "It's my Shard. Destroying it is easy, I had a failsafe built in. The rest however... they must go too. If it will purge the rebellions I am facing currently, then I spare no expense." The three drones holding the shards were surrounded by the swarm, all bombarding the shards with laser beams. The beams refracted through each one, going to the next in a triangle of gradually increasing energy. Until they all exploded, shattering to the floor, the swarm of drones settling around Ichor in a formation ready to shield him. "Now. Are we done yet?" Oscar fell to his knees. There was no hope. What could he do? They were all going to die. At first he only really cared about Ari, but... he was actually starting to like them. And that was when it happened. From each of the shards, rose crackling and sparking wisps of energy, circling around each other. Oscar was the closest to his shard. The orange wisps got to him first. He stood up from the floor, as the energy engulfed him. A huge pulse of blinding orange energy launched through the ship, causing all the technology to shut down and malfunction. And out of the wave stepped Oscar, but never like before. He had become completely orange, made of sparks of orange Tech energy. Some yellow currents occasionally streaked across the suit at certain points too, as he walked up to the now terrified Ichor. The suit was sparking orange energy, completely disabled. Ichor looked up, knowing what was about to happen. "Maybe you should learn more about the machines you create. The people you control. Otherwise, well... I think you're a walking definition for the results. He smacked Ichor into the wall, the Elixir crystal clattering onto the floor, powerless without the last few elements it needed. Crashing explosions started to ring out throughout the ship, wires and metallic plates falling from the ceilings and walls. The ship was travelling at immense speed, and then heat was really starting to increase. And that was when he saw it on the monitors. The ship was plummeting towards Ninjago City, fiery like a meteor and falling apart at the seams. "Oh god."
