Hello everybody, Yamimash here-no it's not it's TRikiD! Time for the dino chase I promised.

Chapter 6 – A dino chase

"Aw, fudge," Kate sighed as Jay, and most likely the rest of them, were doomed to be dino chow. The trio of Grundle began to sprint to toward the defenseless blue ninja, but Lloyd wouldn't let a teammate die.

"No!" Lloyd exclaimed angrily, and suddenly Lloyd clasped his hands together until he quickly pulled them back apart to have formed a three foot long spear that was completely made of ice.

Lloyd pulled the spear back and threw the ice spear as hard as he could. The spear flew through the air and it impaled the torso of the, supposed 'leader', of the trio of Grundle and the spear kept going and took the impaled Grundle with it. The ice spear stopped when it splintered the wall as the one Grundle was stuck and he was thrashing to get the spear out, but he eventually stopped thrashing and even breathing. The sudden death of one of their own caused the two remaining Grundle to stop and star at the dead Grundle. Jay took the advantage and finally stood up and rushed to his friends, but he along with everyone was amazed as they gawked at Lloyd.

"I guess an ice spear made by the Green Ninja isn't an average weapon," Lloyd said slowly with a shrug. But Lloyd's voice got the attention of the living Grundle, and they were mad as hell now that Lloyd killed one of them. Everyone began to sprint again as the Grundle began to chase them again.

One of the Grundle managed to separate Kate from the group and chased her to an exhibit with wall paper that was painted to look like Indians hunting buffalo. Kate got an idea so she turned and stopped right in front of the wall paper exhibit and waited there until the Grundle was close enough. The Grundle used its powerful clawed legs to jump many feet up into the air and lunged toward Kate. This was what Kate wanted; she jumped out of the way right before the Grundle could hit her and the dinosaur was sent flying toward the wall paper and his body ripped through it. The wall paper made the Grundle temporarily trapped; giving Kate enough time to catch up with the others, who were using the air plane that was flown by the Wright Brothers and Cole pulled off the door to an air duct and everyone crawled into the big enough yet still small air vents.

They crawled for a moment or two until they came into another air vent that led to a separate room. Since Nya was first to get into the air vents, she was the one that had to kick the door a few hard times before it broke off and she and the others dropped down.

They observed the area to find that they were led to a long and some-what dark hall in the building, but there was a pair of two large doors not too far from where they were standing, and suddenly one of the doors slowly creaked open, making everyone think it was the Grundle again, but it wasn't. it was actually an elderly woman that was about Wu's age.

The elderly woman wore a khaki jacket with a white shirt underneath, khaki jeans, black tennis shoes, and a green scarf around her neck. She wore a pair of glasses over her beautiful sparkling blue eyes. She had long white hair that was tied into a braid, and she even wore a satchel that was in a cylindrical shape looked like it was made for carrying scrolls as it had a strap over the woman's shoulder.

Wu's eyes went wide and he gasped when he saw this woman; he even dropped his staff. The woman looked around and she looked a little bit panicked; she obviously might have also seen the Grundle, but when she looked and saw the others, Wu and Lloyd in particular, she had a look on her face that said she probably couldn't believe what she was seeing either. Wu and the elderly woman began to walk toward each other, until they began to run and they wasted no time in giving each other a hug.

"I thought I'd never see you again—Misako," Wu said softly as he smiled, and even a tear of joy rolled down his wrinkled face. The woman, or Misako, was silently sobbing.

"I've been thinking the same thing, all these years," Misako said shakily. But then Misako and Wu stopped hugging and she saw Lloyd as her eyes were wide and she raised a hand to her mouth as she slowly walked up to Lloyd.

Lloyd was a bit confused and scared at seeing this woman get this close to him she he didn't know her, or did he?

"Lloyd?" Misako said as she cupped Lloyd's cheek, but Lloyd got creeped out and brushed her hand away.

"Uh, sh-should—should I know you?" Lloyd questioned as he stepped back. Misako sighed and she looked sad.

"No—you were only an infant when I dropped you off at Darkley's," Misako said sadly, which only made Lloyd even more confused, and there was a long pause, "but I've remembered your face since the day I gave birth to you," Misako continued softly as she finally got the nerve to look Lloyd in the eye. Lloyd's eyes were filled with surprise and shock and he tried to speak but couldn't find the right words, but the moment was ruined when there was animal roaring coming from the door Misako just came through.

"They found us," Kate said, and suddenly the two Grundle came through the door way and began to run toward them, and everyone began to run away, "Lloyd, now would be a good time to use your powers again!" Kate continued.

"I can't! I-I don't even know how I did it the last time!" Lloyd exclaimed.

"Well, let's lead them out of the building so that we have more room to fight and less exhibits to damage!" Cole suggested. Everyone agreed and they ran for the nearest exit.

Eventually they arrived outside the museum with the Grundle still hot on their tail. But Kate was unlucky as she tripped on of those annoying sidewalks that stick up out of the ground; and she fell as the Grundle were getting closer to her. Lloyd turned and did a double take when he saw his lover was down and in danger, so he stopped and rushed to Kate's aid. Lloyd immediately jumped to Kate and wrapped his arms around her to protect her from they fast approaching Grundle. Lloyd and Kate waited in fear as they remained hugging each other, but the Grundle suddenly just ran past them, as if they were invisible and chased everyone else.

Once the two noticed that they weren't about to be mauled to death, Lloyd and Kate let go of each other and looked very confused until they stood back up and sprinted after everyone.

Meanwhile everyone was still being chased and the Grundle were getting closer and closer as they were being chased into a blocked ally. The ally was blacked by a gate with barb wire at the top, so there was no escaping it as Misako, Nya, Wu and the other ninja were being cornered; they were all screwed.

The two thick, black scaled Grundle bared their teeth as they walked ever so slowly toward their trapped prey, knowing they weren't going to miss this kill, but the Grundle couldn't be any more unlucky, today. Suddenly two giant green clawed paws just came down from the sky and trapped the Grundle underneath them. Everyone was surprised to look up and find Titan, along with Lloyd and Kate on his back, who had just saved their lives from the Grundle. Lloyd and Kate dismounted as Titan continued to hold down the thrashing and panicking pair of Grundle.

"Titan—you never cease to amaze us," Nya said with a grin as she walked up to Titan and petted his snout, and Titan grunted a happy grunt.

"Hey, don't we get any recognition?!" Lloyd exclaimed but with a smirk. Nya chuckled.

"And besides, if I'd had my Golden Sword of Fire I would've demolished these lizards," Kai said out of the blue while being a bit too cocky. Nya said sadly and walked over to Kai while putting a hand on Kai's shoulder.

"Kai, as you sister—I advise you to stop acting like those lap dogs that people think can walk on water," Nya said flatly.

"'Walk on water'?" Kai repeated, "Nya, what does 'dog' spelled backwards say?" Kai asked slowly. Nya didn't answer as she sighed and put a hand on her temple.

"Ahem!' Kate cleared her throat, "these Grundle were brought back to life but they were also corrupted. Their 'creator' must've used dark magic or something. And something else I don't get is why the Grundle wouldn't hurt me and Lloyd, but they seemed to want to kill everyone else off in a heartbeat," Kate said as she stared at the Grundle who have given up at escaping from Titan's grip and were just relaxing under Titan's claws.

"God!" Jay suddenly shouted out of the blue, making everyone turn to him slowly and with confused looks, "'dog' spelled backwards says 'God'!" Jay explained with a large smile. Kai nodded.

"Yeah, see? Thank you, Jay," said Kai.

"We seem to be getting far off topic," Zane pointed out. but the whole time no one noticed Lloyd was just staring at the Grundle, and they were surprisingly looking at him right back in the eye. Even Titan slowly lifted his paws off the Grundle, but the Grundle didn't run away; they only held their gaze with Lloyd as they slowly stood up and walked up to Lloyd.

Kate was worried and even tried to walk up to Lloyd, but Misako unexpectedly grabbed Kate's shoulder and stopped Kate. Kate couldn't see Misako, but she knew one thing.

"You're—you're his mother," Kate said softly and matter-of-factly. Misako nodded, "and…" Kate was about to continued before she trailed off.

"Garmadon's wife—yes," Misako sighed.

"I think you have a lot of catching up to do," Kate said as she quickly looked at Lloyd, "both of you," Kate continued.

But Lloyd and the Grundles' staring contest continued and something weird was happening. Slowly but surely both Lloyd and the Grundles' irises turned into a sparkly golden color, and even the black hue of the scales on the Grundle turned to a lighter color until every scale was a glowing golden beauty. But the unexpected happened, both Lloyd and the two Grundles' eyes just rolled into the back of their heads as they suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Lloyd!" everyone exclaimed.

Boo-yaw-ca-sha! A cliff hanger, and Misako finally decided to show her face. I'm so proud of me, myself, and my creativity!
