*“Sick? No! Aspirin, definitely! I just had to kill mommy and daddy, or else I would never be king, see?! But then good ‘ol Maxy had to go and blow the lid off the whole thing…!

**The Prince of the Desert** is the 5th and final episode of Milo's Adventures: Spinjitzu Club, and 18th episode overall in Legends of Ogaji.

The original episode was written in 2014 but was rewritten in November 2020 for this wiki.

## Synopsis

**Original:** *Mojo, who had been a strong part of the Club, reveals his true reasons for joining and takes his plan to its next phase.*

**Revised:** *Jackson has discovered Mojo tampering with Mileen's mech suit by forcing Boas inside of it. Could betraying the club been a part of his plan all along? With their apparent leader under the control of the suit, and thus Mojo and his mysterious new ally, Junior and Jackson must come together and use everything they've learned thus far to stop Mojo from accomplishing his true mission, which goes as far as the Royal Palace itself!*

## *The Prince of the Desert*

Jackson stood in the doorway of the secret workshop, gripping his katana and gritting his teeth. His eyes followed Mojo’s grin down to Boas’ unconscious body, stuffed inside a metal suit, lying on the cold metal bench.

“What the hell are you doing?” Jackson growled. His eyes were affixed on Mojo’s smirk, and cold evil eyes.

Mojo didn’t break eye contact, and sat Boas up on the bench. Their lizardy friend was no longer himself anymore, as several other cybernetic modifications were added to his body.

“I’d like you to meet… Robolfos. That’s what I call it. He’s a mean lean fighting machine, built by yours truly… Ain’t he a beaut?” Mojo mused.

Jackson swiped his arm up and pinned Mojo to the wall, fully aware that Mojo lacked the physical strength to defy him. He stuck his katana at his forehead and looked him dead in the eyes.

“Tell me what you did to him, you desert thief!” he ordered. Jackson’s eyes were flaming with rage.

Mojo smiled once again and said, “watch the hair, hot shot.” Suddenly, he flipped Jackson around and kicked him to the other side of the room. Jackson fell with a thud at the door frame he entered from, and landed at the feet of a strange man.

“Jacky boy, I’d like you to meet a friend of mine!” Mojo said with a grin, “his name is Belkoff. He was the one who helped me escape the desert. And he’s a hell of an inventor, isn’t that right?”

Belkoff was easily over six feet tall, and 4 feet wide. He was a beastly, bulging man, who wore tattered clothes. He had long unkempt black hair, and a long black beard. He picked Jackson up by the neck, causing him to drop his weapon, “Mmmm…” the man moaned, “and I am good at other thing as well!” he said with his thick foreign accent.

Jackson struggled in the man’s arms, as his neck was slowly crushed.

“You see, Jacky Boy, I didn’t need you or your little friend for my plan here… so I thought it was time I got rid of you…” Mojo added, “besides, letting two loudmouth ninja in on our little secret won’t do us any good…”

Jackson flung his feet around and gasped, slowly losing his breath. Belkoff stared him down and chuckled.

“Let… me… go!!” Jackson squealed, and lit his fists aflame, burning Belkoff’s forearms.

“Argh!!” the man writhed in pain and fell over. Jackson took a minute to recover, then quickly jumped in front of Mojo and took Boas back, then made his way back up the stairs in a frenzy.

He made his way to the front door of the house, where Junior was waiting for him, dressed in his ninja suit.

“What’s going on!?” he asked him, “why is Boas unconscious?!”

“Mojo did this! I- I don’t know what he did to Boas…! And watch out, he’s got a friend too. I told you something was up with this guy!” Jackson said, pulling along Junior as they made their escape. The two approached Magnolia, attempting to make their way out, but it exploded before they could reach it.

“What the hell!?” Junior gasped. The two of them turned around to see Mojo and Belkoff leaving the house.

“We can’t let you get away that easily!” Mojo asserted. Belkoff was carrying two heavy swords, and Mojo was holding what looked like a TV remote.

“Why are you doing this?! We thought you just wanted to learn Spinjitzu!” Junior cried.

Mojo closed his eyes and frowned, “we all have our reasons… You have yours, I’m sure. You wanted to see your dear friend… what was his name? Mike?”

Jackson scowled at Mojo’s blatant disrespect for the dead.

“You told us before that you had to escape the desert after your parents were murdered by your brother! Is that even true?” Junior asked.

“It’s definitely true. It’s true that I had to escape, but my brother wasn’t the murderer… It was me! Aahahaha!!” Mojo laughed.

“You’re sick!” Jackson growled.

“Sick? No! Aspirin, definitely! I just had to kill mommy and daddy, or else I would never be king, see?! But then good ‘ol Maxy had to go and blow the lid off the whole thing…! Don’t they know who I am!? For the Goddesses’ sake, I am Mojo! Prince of the desert! And soon, the future emperor of Ogaij!” Mojo marvelled.

“But why did you join this stupid club if you plan on taking over the world?!” Junior asked.

“Because Spinjitzu is a lost martial art. The Royal Palace will shiver in their boots when they see Belkoff and I coming! The last part of our plan was to get rid of the three of you, so that no traces could be left behind… And we’re almost there! Belkoff, get the car ready!” Mojo demanded.

Belkoff saluted Mojo, saying, “yes my king!” and packed their bags onto the lion truck.

Jackson and Junior stood their ground, shining their fists with Elemental Energy.

“If you think for one second that we’re just going to let you go…” Jackson growled.

“Oh!” Mojo cackled, “our next step is to take care of two birds with one stone, see…” he said climbing into the truck. He held up the remote in his hand and pointed it towards Boas, “you boys have fun now.” he winked, and pressed the button on the remote, and sped off on the truck.

Jackson tried to follow him, but something behind him made him stop.

“Jack…” Junior whimpered, staring at Boas’ lifeless body being hoisted up by the mech suit. It took a battle ready stance, and flung itself towards Junior, who only barely managed to dodge it.

“What did Mojo do to the suit?!” Junior cried. What was once Boas kept rapidly attacking the two ninja, without giving them a second to breath. Jackson bore his blade and pressed the cyborg against the wall.

“I- I- I don’t know!” he struggled, “but he said he made him a fighting machine! And- and he called him… Agh!” Jackson was flung backwards, and fell on the pile of scraps that was once Magnolia.

“Robolfos!!” the cyborg bellowed, and leaped into attack mode once again.

Junior stood up, and concentrated on activating his Ultimate Potential. He formed his fists into a ball, and a golden orb of energy was emitted from them— he shot it at Robolfos, who was knocked onto the ground.

“Woohoo! Did I do it?!” Junior exclaimed.

Robolfos twitched on the ground for a moment, but sprung back up. It used the thrusters on its feet to propel itself into the air, and once again went in for the attack.

“Are you kidding?!” Junior gasped, “that was literally the most powerful move I could think of!”

Jackson recovered from his fall, and lit his fists aflame, then shone his fire onto his katana, turning it bright red.

“We have to stop Mojo! I’m going to… I have to…” he murmured. He knew full well that Boas was no longer there. The cybernetic attachments that Belkoff and Mojo added to their old friend have caused him to go berserk, and his physical body was now dead. Only Robolfos remained.

“No Jackson!” Junior cried, “you can’t kill him! He’s Boas still, I know it! Come on man, please, we have to find another way! We can still help him! I’m tired of losing people, Jackson, I can’t stand it anymore!”

Jackson stared at the ground where he stood, and lowered his weapon, “I… I don’t want to lose anyone anymore either…” he stammered.

“Boas was nothing but nice to us… He did some pretty stupid things, but his heart was always in the right place… this isn’t fair… We have to help him…” Junior sobbed.

“*Die!!!!*” Robolfos attacked Jackson, who blocked the blow. Tears fell from his eyes as he watched Boas body be propped up and propelled in the air by the suit…

“We have to take the suit off him… That’s the only way to do it!” Jackson exclaimed, and leaped towards the cyborg. His katana still on fire, he sliced through him, and spun around into a whirling tornado of fire, surrounding Robolfos, and stripping him of his armor.

What was left of him, was the shrivelled naked body of Boas, who was long deceased. He fell to the ground, knees first, and was defeated for good.

Jackson and Junior kneeled before their fallen ally, and said a silent prayer.

Jackson’s heart was on fire. He could feel the rage inside him burning brighter than ever.

“We’re going to stop Mojo.” he said, “we’re not going to let him use the practices that Boas taught us to do any more evil! We’ll do this for Boas, for Robert…”

“And for Milo!” Junior added. Their ideals were set, and they took off. There was only one place that Mojo could be heading… the Ogaji Royal Palace.

Junior got on his friends back, and he propelled himself in the air using his flames.

The two arrived at Hylia Village, where chaos was amuck. More of Belkoff’s inventions, such as a large mechanical bull wreaked havoc on the small village.

Jackson put Junior down and stared at the horror, “So Mojo wants to take the Ogaijan palace after failing to take the throne of the Desert of Thieves…” he said.

“Jack!” Junior said, looking at his friend in the eyes, “I’ll take this mechanical bull thing down, you go into the palace! He’s after the princess, I can feel it!”

Jackson nodded, and left the green ninja to do his thing. He ran as fast as he could through the palace doors, and down the halls. He followed the trail of beaten soldiers, who laid on the ground defeated by Belkoff’s and Mojo’s raw strength.

For the entire time Jackson had known Mojo, Mojo had never shown this side of strength. Perhaps he was saving it for this day, but since he had no idea what sort of power Mojo held, Jackson was going into this fight blind.

Finally, he reached the throne room, where Mojo held Princess Pullumi at knife-point, and the Emperor and Empress were tied up.

“Ah! Jacky boy, we were expecting you!” Mojo joked, “Belkoff! Get rid of him!”

Belkoff approached Jackson with his two large weapons, and the two engaged in battle. Belkoff’s attacks were easy to dodge, as his size and weight caused him to be considerably slower than Jackson.

“Hiyah!” Jackson sliced at Belkoff’s backside, which caused him to fumble over in pain.

“Argh!” Mojo groaned, having to stop his attack on the royal family, and move on to Jackson, “I always knew you were a pest, you red haired rat! You’re always thinking too much!” Mojo growled, and pulled his knife on Jackson. He was more agile than his partner, and proved to be difficult to pin down.

“Argh!” Jackson pressed down his katana on Mojo’s knife, being the only thing protecting him.

Mojo pushed the red ninja off of him and swirled into a Spinjitzu tornado, knocking Jackson on his side. Mojo took his katana from him, and put it at his neck.

“Say goodbye you—” Mojo snickered, before the large window at the end of the throne room shattered. The large mechanical bull built by Belkoff, which Junior was handling, had been thrown through the window, just narrowly missing crushing Mojo and Jackson.

“Son of a bitch! Junior, I thought you were handling it!” Jackson yelled.

Junior appeared at the shattered window with a cut under his left eye, “I am handling it!” he replied. The mechanical bull twitched on the ground, officially out of commission.

“Need some help?” Junior helped Jackson up, and the two of them faced Mojo and Belkoff together.

“You’re really an idiot, you know that, right?” Jackson said to Mojo. He and Junior stepped towards the villains, causing them to back up further from where they stood.

“A- a- and how so?” Mojo inquired, continuously getting pushed back.

“You took two months to learn spinjitzu, made enemies with the most trained ninja in the realm, and attacked the most heavily guarded place on earth… What did you think was gonna happen?” Jackson shoved the two of them backwards even more, looming ever closer to the edge of the window.

“You’ll see! You’ll all see! It is my birth right to be king! You just don’t understand! None of you do! I—” Mojo’s voice faded off, as he fell out the 6 story window along with Belkoff. Jackson glanced over the edge, expecting to see the two of them on the ground defeated… but both of them were missing.

“I guess that’s it for them… for now at least.” Junior sighed.

The two of them helped the Royal Family out of their binds, and sat them on the throne.

“My goodness, Team Waters, you’re back… I knew you’d come to our rescue again!” Pullumi smiled.

“Yeah… No, we’re the Spinjitzu Club now…! Or… er, we were at least…” Junior said.

“Whatever you’re called,” the Emperor added, “we thank you for saving us from those desert thugs. They seemed to possess this unnatural power, being able to turn into those twisters! I could never have surmised a villain would attack us with a power such as that… Our soldiers stood no chance…”

…

The remaining two members of the club helped the village rebuild for the rest of the following week. After that, Mojo and Belkoff were nowhere to be seen, but they were sure to return eventually. The Mechanical Bull was unable to be destroyed, so it was locked away in the dungeons of the palace.

When the cleanup was finally over, Pullumi led the two ninja to the village limits to say their goodbyes.

“So, boys…” she said, “what are you going to do now?” she asked.

Jackson looked at Junior and then back at the Princess. He hadn’t thought about that yet… Since he was saved by Milo and transformed human from being a serpentine for so long, all he had known was travelling with Junior… Whether it was with Team Waters or the Spinjitzu Club, his only home had been with his friends.

He started to speak up, “I don’t—”

“I’m going to stay here,” Junior interjected, “I want to teach the soldiers Spinjitzu.”

Jackson’s heart sank, realizing his friend did not feel the same as him…

“Oh, good! Yes, I admit, if we are ever attacked by the likes of him again, we will be severely under prepared!” Pullumi admitted.

“Ever since Milo saved me from Bamos, and then Ronin, I have felt this obligation to avenge his legacy, now that he’s gone. I didn’t beat Bamos, and now Boas is gone, and I couldn’t defeat Mojo. Me staying here, this will be my new mission. If I can help the royal palace be even a little bit more prepared for another battle, I want to do it! That’s how I’ll remember Boas— and Milo by.” Junior said with a smile.

Pullumi turned to Jackson, “and what will you do? You’re free to stay here as well.” she asked.

Jackson thought for a moment. Junior was right… they owed it to their fallen friends to continue their legacy.

“I’m… not a teacher,” he began, “and Bamos and Mojo… they’re still out there. I’m going to track them down, and avenge our friends my way!” he said.

“Very well…” Pullumi said, “I will be in the palace, Junior, I’ll leave you to say your goodbyes…” and she walked off.

Junior smiled at Jackson, with tears in his eyes.

“Come on man,” Jackson laughed, “don’t do that…”

“It’s just,” Junior sniffled, “we were both ‘born’ at the same time… Milo saved us both that very day… I’m just… I’m gonna miss you!”

Jackson avoided looking at his young friend’s sad eyes. He hasn’t had to do it in a long time, and he hated to admit it, but he didn’t want to say goodbye.

“This isn’t goodbye! This is just ‘see ya later’! Once I’ve tracked down Bamos and Mojo…” he trailed off.

“... and once I’ve taught the soldiers Spinjitzu…” Junior finished.

“We’ll see each other again.” Jackson asserted. He tried his best to hold back his tears.

“Well, I’ll… see you later… Jackson.” Junior held his hand out for his friend to shake.

Jackson reached for it, and gripped his hand tight.

“I’ll see you later, buddy…” he sniffed.

Their hands lingered for a moment, but Jackson was the first to break it off. He gave one last smile to his friend, and turned to walk away. Junior nodded, and ran back into the village to meet up with Pullumi…

Having gone their separate ways, Jackson remembered the good times they had. One tear rolled down his cheek, and he whispered, “No matter where we go... we'll always be friends.”

…

Back in the Village of Hylia, a pregnant woman stares out of the window witnessing the soldiers repair the damage done, and she notices a young boy in green approaching the palace with tears in his eyes.

She calls over to her husband, “Nick? Who is that young boy?” she asks.

Nicholas Rogers, now one year older, approaches his wife from behind and rubs her stomach, “I’m not sure honey… Oh! I felt a kick!” he exclaimed, “have we decided on a name for him yet?”

His wife stared thoughtfully into her husband's eyes, and said, “Timothy. Timothy Rogers.”

## Author's Notes

* This made me tear up writing.
* I kind of love this finale, and I think it sets up Season 3 really really well. Season 3 is my favorite season of Milo's Adventures, so I'm really excited to do that.
* This is the last appearance of Jackson and Junior together until Season 7. They *might* be my favorite characters I've written (or some of them,) so they're departure from each other was also my goodbye to them! (at least for a while.)
* Jackson's last line is a reference to what Gon says after he and Killua say their goodbyes at the end of the *Hunter x Hunter* anime.
