Zane's vision switched back to normal, and he saw his friends all laughing around the table. Another party song was blasting the speakers, and the lights were still flashing. The sun had fully set, and the only natural lighting was from the moon and stars.

"Guys, we've got a problem." He warned his friends.

"What?" Kai yelled over the music.

"I said we've got a-"

"What!?"

Zane rolled his eyes and walked up to Kai and leaned into his ear.

"I said we've got a problem!" He screamed loudly, causing Kai to jerk back and clutch his ear. Cole shot the two confused looks and walked up to them, and Lloyd followed along. Nya and Jay hadn't noticed any of them, and continued to hold hands and talk.

"What's up?" Cole asked his friend. Zane repeated the same thing to everyone, and they all gave him confused glances.

"What do you mean? What's the problem?" Cole asked and Lloyd nodded. They all had to lean in together in a circle just to hear each other, even when they were yelling.

"Garmadon is coming! My falcon showed me; he's almost here!" Cole's eyes widened at this news and he turned serious.

"Okay, we need to find a way to get all these people into safe areas. How long do we have?"

"Five at most." Everyone frowned when they heard this news.

"How can we get all these people away in five minutes? There's no way!" Kai protested while looking at the giant crowd. They were all having a blast, not realizing how much danger they were in.

"We can't just not do anything though! Okay, Kai and Lloyd go throughout the crowd and telling people to go back home. Tell them danger is coming, and they can come back out to party if we give them the okay." Kai and Lloyd nodded before racing off into the crowd. They would go up to random people and tell them the news, and then those people would spread the news.

"I'm going to find the Mayor. Get the lovebirds in on this and go help evacuate people!" Cole ordered urgently before he ran off to find the Mayor. Zane sprinted over to the lovebirds, who hadn't even noticed the worried looks everyone had.

"Guys, Garmadon is coming!" He shouted above the music to them. Their heads whipped towards him in shock. "We've got five minutes! Help evacuate people; tell them to go home, and if it's safe they can come back out!" Jay grabbed Nya's hand and shot off towards the crowd.


Kai and Lloyd were trying to yell at people to just go home quickly, but they pretty much failed since people kept asking questions.

"Why, I paid fair and square!?"

"Why would we do that?"

"I don't wanna!"

Kai was ready to punch the person who said that, but Lloyd held him back. A crowd of outraged and questioning people started to surround the two ninja. They were all screaming their questions over the music, overwhelming them.

"Why won't they shut up!?" Kai screamed over to Lloyd above the noise. Lloyd shrugged and tried to calm down the crowd. Suddenly the music stopped and the lights all turned to the stage. A nervous Mayor and anxious Cole stood on it.

"Everyone please do not panic! We need you all to report to your homes and stay there until we give you the okay! If the party cannot continue, refunds will be given back! The ninja will be spread out to help you in anyway, but please hurry!" The Mayor spoke into the microphone. People started booing and protesting loudly; more people started to surround Kai and Lloyd too. Kai was prepared to knock some of them out, but Lloyd managed to stop him.

"No, bad Kai! Only hit snakes or skeletons, not citizens!" He teased, causing Kai to roll his eyes. People still continued to crowd the two, and they could see people crowding the others too. Cole sighed at the people's reactions and grabbed the microphone.

"Shut up!"

Everyone grew quiet and turned to the stage.

"Garmadon is coming, and no he was not the guy who saved you from the Great Devourer! Please, we are trying to save you guys so go home! Having you guys running around and screaming doesn't help us!"

Everyone stared at Cole for a minute...before going back to yelling at the closest ninja to them. Cole rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Okay, new plan. The people who don't end up going home, and the party gets cancelled, no refunds for them!" Everyone froze before racing off to home. Jay almost lost Nya in the crowd and had to hold onto her tightly. Lloyd nearly got ran over and Zane was nearly shut off. The entire party population was gone, minus the ninja and Mayor.

"Never mind, I guess there was a way." Kai muttered as he tried to smooth his hair that had gotten frazzled from all the people. Lloyd wiped off the dust from his shoulders, and Jay checked to make sure Nya hadn't gotten hurt from the stampede. Lloyd whistled loudly and the Mega Dragon flew down towards him.

"Should I go grab the weapons?" Lloyd asked Cole. Cole turned to Zane.

"How much time do we have?" Zane's vision switched back to the falcon's before responding.

"We still have around five. The large crowd of people stalled Garmadon, but he is still on his way towards us." Cole nodded towards Lloyd, who jumped up onto his dragon and flew off.

"How many snakes did he bring this time?" Jay asked the nindroid while holding hands with Nya and walking towards them.

"From what I could see only Skales and around...six Constricta? Maybe seven, I didn't see that well." Cole had a confused expression.

"Why only that much?"

"Does it matter? We can take them!" Kai smirked. Nya rolled her eyes at her brother's overconfidence.

"Don't underestimate them Kai, we don't know what they could be scheming. What should we do?" She asked Cole. He jumped off the stage to meet up with his friends.

"Just keep your guards up, and don't do anything dumb Kai!" Kai gave a fake offended look and placed a hand over his heart.

"Ow, that hurt." Cole rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Not now Kai." They were interrupted when they heard the roar of a dragon. They looked up to see Lloyd jumping off the dragon.

"That was fast." Jay noticed.

"So is news. Sensei already had the weapons outside with him when I got there. Here, he told me to give you this." He explained as he handed everyone their weapons. He mentioned the last part to Nya and handed two daggers.

"Just in time too!" Zane muttered and pointed to the entrance of the park. Garmadon and his snakes were all driving straight towards them. (1)

They all got in defensive stances and waited for Garmadon to arrive. The vehicle made a loud stop straight at the entrance, and he and the reptiles jumped out. Garmadon held his Mega Weapon in his hand and he led the snakes to the ninja slowly.

"What do you want Garmadon?" Cole glared at the Dark Lord. Garmadon looked at all of them before laughing.

"Nice costumes."

Some of them blushed and looked away awkwardly, and some glared in return.

"We asked you a question." Kai growled impatiently. Garmadon shot him a quick glare before looking back towards the others.

"See, I've realized over our time fighting that my attacks are all the same. I attack you too directly, and this is something that I've learned my mistakes."

"Are we going to fight, or are you going to talk us to death?" Jay asked in boredom. Garmadon tried to not strangle the boy, and focused.

"I'm sorry to bore you boy, but I'll soon make this more entertaining. Now!" Garmadon cried out randomly. Suddenly the ninja and Nya felt a tail wrap tightly around their waists and pin their arms to their sides. They were lifted slightly off the floor too.

They had all been so distracted with Garmadon that the Constricta had time to sneak up behind them.

"Hey! Let us go!" Kai called out in rage. They all tried to get out of the grip, but it was useless. Once Garmadon was sure that they were secure he moved closer.

"As I was saying, I've realized that attacking head on isn't always the best solution. So we've come up with the perfect solution."

"Which would be?" Cole asked with a glare.

"Oh you'll find out. Goodbye ninja." Garmadon smirked before shooting the weapon at all six of them. There was a blinding light, and then darkness.


(1) In this Garmadon has a vehicle! It's like the Sonar, but black and purple

Has anyone else noticed that every story I've written, I have Garmadon hitting them with the weapon as a cliffie? o.O
