Elina: Sorry it took longer to write this chapter.

Zena: Yeah. I just started school so I'm juggling that as well.

Elina: And I'm about to start school soon and I might be publishing my original stories soon, so the story might take longer as well.

Zena: And emotional! You guys are in for roller coaster ride!

Elina: Also, there's an author note that you HAVE to read at the bottom of this chapter, so don't skip over it! Anyway, enjoy!

As the sun began to set into the mountainous horizon, the Destiny's Bounty flew over the grassy valleys of Ninjago. Wind blew against the sails, leading onward to the unknown distance that lay ahead.

All the ninjas, their sensei, and the princess were all sitting around in the control room, trying to think up of a plan for tonight's infiltration to Laughy's.

"So we know that the Sons of Garmadon hang out at Laughy's when it's night outside. And the Sons of Darkness occasionally goes there, like tonight. Now all we need to do is find out who goes in and tries to find more information on the Sons of Darkness themselves. Did I leave anything out?" Lloyd asked as he finish reviewing what they learned.

"Yeah." Cole replied, still feeling guilt over the revealed information.

Garmadon sighed in guilt at this, putting a hand on his shoulder, deciding to have a moment with him alone. "I'm sorry for lashing out at you like that earlier today, but you know as well as I that Lloyd means so much to me. I was so frightened...so scared... I could've..."

"But you didn't." Cole insisted, his voice firm as usual.

Garmadon smiled relievedly. "Thank you...and I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry about what happened in Mystaké's... I can't imagine what must've been going through your head..."

"I'd rather not go into detail about it... Let's just say the Ultimate Battle is coming sooner than I thought."

"Yeah... Lloyd was staring into the horizon an hour ago, stressed by all that. And I saw Harumi have a moment with him. I think they're meant for one another."

"All I want is the best for him. For him to express himself however he wishes. For him to be safe and loved. And I knew your mother personally. She would have wanted the same for you."

Cole smiled sadly. "Well, we should probably go back to the others. They're waiting for us."

Garmadon nodded, knowing his son might be wondering where they were. They returned to the bridge.

Lloyd smiled softly. "Where were you?"

"Just having a moment with Cole... The outburst struck me hard... I adore you...don't leave me..." Garmadon told his child in a somewhat distressed manner.

"Me too, father." Lloyd stated, keeping the tears at bay.

"So, do we have a plan?" Cole asked to the leader.

"Well, we were thinking of some of us disguising ourselves as members of the Sons of Garmadon and infiltrate the karaoke bar that way." Lloyd recapped what they had been talking about when his father and the earth elemental were gone.

"I'll go." Cole nodded.

"So will I." Added Zane.

"And me." Morro added.

"I'm going too." Lloyd conceded firmly.

"Lloyd, no. It's too dangerous...please reconsider... I don't want to lose you..." Garmadon begged, embracing his son tight.

Lloyd sighed, knowing his father was going to react negatively on his decision. As much as he wanted to stay in his father's embrace, feeling protected and safe, he needed to step up as leader and do this. He gently placed his hand on his father's chest, and reluctantly pulled away from his tender hold.

Lloyd looked into his father's pleading yet stern eyes with his firm ones, and spoke, "I'm sorry, father, but this is something I have to do. The Sons of Garmadon and Darkness are gonna be there, and they're going to need all the help they can get. Besides, the Sons of Darkness sounded like they're planning something really devious and sinister tonight. I can't let them get away with it. I can't let them resurrect the Overlord... I can't let them corrupt you..." The green ninja's eyes were now starting to tear up, but he kept his face straight as he stared down at his father. "This isn't just a typical mission. You're at stake. I have to know for myself what they're up to. I'm trying to protect you, father." He couldn't hold back the tears anymore as they slowly but freely flowed down his face.

Garmadon's heart clenched in guilt at his son's teary face, knowing Lloyd was trying to be strong and firm for him. And he couldn't be more proud of him. The destruction elemental softly nodded, knowing Lloyd had a point. "I'll come with you...just to make sure you're safe, alright?"

Lloyd smiled tearfully, embracing his father close. "S-Sure... I love you so much..."

"I love you too, my precious angel..." Garmadon whispered, meant only for Lloyd's ears. "We'll pull through this together... I promise, my child... I promise..."

The others smiled at Garmadon's affection towards his child. Despite everything, they were as close as ever.

Until tonight...

Borg Tower comes into view as the Destiny's Bounty began to park on the roof. Cyrus Borg himself waited with three people by his side. Two of them were scientists, wearing white lab coats and glasses.

Once the ship was parked to the side of the roof, the people that would infiltrate Laughy's got off while everyone else stayed on the ship. A while ago, Zane had contacted his girlfriend, Pixal, to create a cloaking device for Lloyd and Garmadon to disguise themselves without having to worry about giving themselves away.

"We're here." Lloyd told the group as they headed over to Cyrus Borg.

"Hello, Mr. Borg." Garmadon politely addressed the inventor.

"Hello, Garmadon." Borg smiled. "I got a message from Pixal that Zane ordered the new cloaking devices we just finished developing."

"Yeah." Lloyd nodded in confirmation. "We're trying to figure out more about those guys who stole the Mask of Vengeance."

"Good for you. I deeply appreciate it." Cyrus replied, giving them the devices, which were a single white bracelet for each of them.

"We're ninjas. It's our job." Lloyd smiled as he and his father put on their new gadgets.

When the devices were turned on, gone were the big-hearted green ninja, Lloyd, and the benevolent sensei, Garmadon. Instead, they were replaced by two frightening-looking bikers.

Lloyd's long blonde hair was now cropped and pure black with red highlights. His shining emerald eyes were now haunting amber orbs. His face was a bit more paler, he had a silver nose ring on his right nostril, and his scar had moved up to his left eye. His outfit consisted of a black short-sleeved jacket over a gray shirt, leather jeans that seemed a bit tight on him, spiked black boots, and black cuff-like accessory on his wrist, which was the disguised cloaking device.

Garmadon, on the other hand, looked more scarier than his son. His gray wavy hair was the same color as his son's disguised one now, but more spiked up and no highlights. His purple eyes were now much more darker, close to the color of a bad bruise. There were several scratches and scars all over his face, like he went through a rough war. His sensei gi was replaced with a dark purple armor with a black sleeve on one arm and none on the other.

The two turned towards each other and nearly let out sharp gasps at each other's appearance. Garmadon saw that his good-hearted angel looked more like a punk devil now, and Lloyd saw that his father looked so similar to...his corrupted form. That thought nearly brought tears to the young one's eyes.

"Glad to see the cloaking devices are working. And did you know it also comes with voice change capabilities," Cyrus added, distracting Lloyd out of his thoughts. "That way, you two will be more hidden."

"Really?" Lloyd asked as he tapped to activate it. When he spoke, his voice had a British accent, which was impossible considering the ninja's incapability to imitate voices. "Woah, this is cool, luv!" He immediately covered his mouth on what he just said and sounded like.

His father softly chuckled at his son's antics, making Lloyd's face flush in embarrassment.

"Thank you, Mr. Borg." Garmadon smiled. "Well, son, we'd better get going. The others are waiting for us."

The two got onto the Bounty, where the others did await them, and were shocked at the two's new appearances.

Kai was the first to speak. "Woah, edgy, man!"

"Yeah..." Lloyd blushed a bit and rubbed the back of his head bashfully. "Not really my style, but hey, it works as a disguise."

"Well, let's get ready to infiltrate then." Morro reminded. He was wearing his black hair in a ponytail, with his green streak hidden. He had on sunglasses as well to cover his grey-green eyes. He was wearing a leather biker jacket, a white t-shirt, tight leather jeans, and biker boots.

"Yeah." Lloyd meekly nodded as he turned back to the city of Ninjago, his father standing next to him with a hand on his shoulder.. He just hoped with all his heart they get the information and get out unscathed.

He hoped...

Lloyd and his father were on the Bounty with their disguises turned on. They stood on the deck, waiting for their signal to get off and into the club.

Garmadon turned to look at his son, and he frowned in concern when he saw him looking distressed. "Son, is everything alright?"

"Father... I'm terrified...what if this doesn't work...what if we get spotted? What if..." Lloyd stopped his talking, not wanting to hear anymore of the possibilities that could happen at the infiltration.

The destruction elemental ran his fingers through his son's still-soft hair, bringing him into a tight embrace. "I'm here..."

"I'm glad you decided to come along." Lloyd gave a soft smile, laying his head on his father's non-armored shoulder. His smile faded a bit as he decided to reveal what he had in his mind earlier afternoon. "In all honesty, I didn't know how I could handle it on my own. I know my cousin and my friends would be there, but we would have to split up since the club is really big."

Garmadon sighed, gently brushing his hand against where his scar was hidden. "Don't worry, son...I'll be right by your side...now and forever..." He pulled his son closer, keeping an arm around his child's shoulders. He then looked into Lloyd's now-red eyes and saw some pain hidden in there. "There's...something else..."

Lloyd tensed, hesitant to tell his father what was on his mind. He felt a gentle pressure on his back and turned to see his father giving a reassuring smile.

"It's okay...you can tell me anything..." Garmadon reassured, the gentility still in his eyes, relaxing the green ninja.

"Alright." Lloyd nodded. "Back when we were at Borg's, the first time I saw your disguise...it...reminded me of your corrupted state...when...your oni side attacked Cole...and the symbol those crooks used..." Lloyd was trying his hardest to hold tears back at the memories, but unfortunately they fell to his cheeks.

"Lloyd..." Garmadon whispered, brushing his son's tears away gently. "I love you so much... I would never lay a hand on you... Even if I have to choose between you, my life, my power, or even the world, you always will be so important to me, my little angel."

Lloyd let tears fall, touched by his father's endearing words. He wrapped his exposed arms around Garmadon's armor, and laid his head carefully on his chest. He felt his father return the embrace, making him smile in the content warmth he needed.

Harumi watched from afar, touched by the moment as well, wishing her parents could've lived longer. That they could've been just as close.

"Guys, hate to disturb your moment but we're almost there." Morro sighed.

"Alright." Garmadon nodded.

The five disguised members of the infiltrating group all gathered at the deck, preparing to drop out of the sky. They decided to split up to lessen suspicion. Lloyd, Morro, and Garmadon would take one side while Zane and Cole take the front.

Once the karaoke club was in their vicinity, the ship swiftly glided through the air and hid behind a building. Lloyd and his family members were on the left side, prepare to go to the back way. Zane and Cole were on the other side.

"You ready?" Garmadon asked to his son and nephew. Both of the guys nod while Lloyd took his father's hand for support. He gently squeezed it back in response.

"Let's do it." Cole whispered-yelled to his partners and the others on the opposite side.

In a flash, the five infiltrators jumped off the ship and began sneaking their way to the club. Zane and Cole used the dumpsters to get to the front while Lloyd, Garmadon, and Morro used the roofs and alleyways to get to another side.

Finally, they found a short line into the club, and Garmadon takes his place with Lloyd and Morro standing on either side of the disguised sensei like bodyguards.

Once they reached the jumper, he eyed the three and looked at the clipboard in his hand. "Names sir?" He sternly asked to Garmadon with a suspicious look.

"Devil Eyes, crime boss from the west of the city." Garmadon answered with a dark, serious tone in his voice. It made Lloyd and Morro inwardly flinch, but they still kept a straight face.

Garmadon turned to the two teens with a look that almost made Lloyd give away their position with a near yelp.

"These two ruffians are Scar Wylde," He looked straight into his son's amber eyes.

"And Griffin Storm." His eyes then turned to Morro.

He then faced the jumper once more. "We heard the Sons of Garmadon were here, and we came to check them out."

The jumper still eyed the three suspiciously, considering he had never really heard about a crook from the west coming here. More so to see the Sons of Garmadon.

"Never heard of you three before. Why should I even let you in?"

Lloyd inwardly tensed as the goon said that. He was scared that they could be given away. That jumper looked to be not the kind of guy who lets anyone in easily.

Garmadon noticed that and telepathically reassured him while keeping an emotionless expression at the jumper. 'I promise you...it will be alright...'

'Oh, thank you father...' Lloyd communicated to the destruction elemental, inwardly releasing a sigh of relief.

'Of course... I love you...so much...' Those words nearly made Garmadon's lip turn into a smile, but he still kept a straight face against the jumper.

After a moment, the jumper looked back at the three disguised thugs, and noticed the other crooks impatiently waiting to get in. Deciding to just move on to the next people in the line, he moved aside for them to get in, "Alright, you three may pass."

Lloyd inwardly sighed. Thank goodness...

The three disguised ninjas stepped into the dive, and they are bombarded with the loud noises of thugs bustling around listening to one of the thugs singing karaoke.

Garmadon pulled his son and nephew to a hidden area to talk privately. In a normal club, it would make them so suspicious. But because there are more crooks here than the Ninjago City Police Station, it was like normal activity.

"Alright, we're in." Garmadon spoke through the communicator on his wrist.

"Great, so are we." Cole replied. "We're at the front of the bar with Dareth."

"Wait, Dareth?" Lloyd quietly exclaimed in surprise. This caught Garmadon's and Morro's attention.

Dareth was a chubby old man that owned a dojo in Ninjago City and half the age of Garmadon and Wu. At least according to the ever-joking Kai and Jay, which resulted in two bonks from the said two sensei and a really annoyed green ninja.

Lloyd inwardly chuckled at the memory.

Zane, meanwhile, took over speaking for Cole.

"So, we found information about the two generals that attacked the palace the other night, and we are just waiting for the Sons of Darkness to show." Zane explained.

Garmadon's eyes glowed, remembering how the woman, Ultra Violet, nearly killed his son too many times. Something told Lloyd the grudge wasn't going to go away anytime soon.

"Can you tell us?" Morro asked, wanting answers about the Sons of Garmadon.

"The red one is Mr. E, a quiet and mysterious general that is pretty good technology, and the purple one is Ultra Violet, a psychotic woman who's pretty delirious."

Curse her... Garmadon muttered silently in his head. This didn't go unnoticed by his son.

'Dad...you okay?' Lloyd asked his father telepathically.

'How can I be? She tried to kill you several times!' Garmadon brought him closer and kept an arm around him protectively. He knows that if he hugged his son in a club full of heartless criminals, someone might see them and get suspicious, but it was too overwhelming for the sensei at the moment. He quickly let go before anyone could see them showing warming affection.

"So, how are we gonna get through this, Snake Jaguar?" Cole asked as he drank a boba Dareth left out for them.

"Try gaining their trust so we can get inside information." Lloyd stated through the comm.

"Scar's right. Anway, I went through about 1,542 ways to gain their trust. And there's only one way to gain their trust. But it's complicated...and dangerous."

"I'm Rocky Dangerbuff, and danger is in my name! Lay it on me!" Cole cockily stated as he drank his boba.

"You have to sing."

"W-What-!" Cole spluttered, spitting his drink out.

Oh shoot...we're screwed... Lloyd groaned in his thoughts, remembering the last time the earth elemental sang because of a dare—his ears ended up literally bleeding, and his overprotective father banned Cole from singing in the monastery, with a microphone and a speaker, ever again.

Cole rolled his eyes. "Ugh fine. If you say so." He walked over to the stage and grabbed the microphone. "I'm Rocky Dangerbuff, and here's something mean to say!" He tossed a coin, wrapped in paper that stated the song, over at Zane who was by the jukebox. "Song number 159, pronto!"

Zane nodded and put the coin while he read the paper. The music began, but it sounded familiar.

"Wait a second, isn't that..." The song Zane chose was "Glowworm" instead of "Cream and Death." Apparently he turned on the wrong song, even though it was written on the paper. When the ice elemental looked closer, he realized Cole used the wrong paper. It was a reminder for Garmadon for a choir practice Lloyd was in five years ago.

Cole knew if he complained, he'd probably be discovered, and so would everyone else. And so he started singing.

Of course it was horrible.

"Glow little glowworm glow and glimmer, swim through the sea..."

Garmadon dragged Lloyd and Morro into the shadows once more to not listen to Cole's singing, all while covering his son's ears to prevent bleeding again.

Zane just watched his partner badly sing to the song he wished he hadn't picked out, though he kept a straight, blank expression on his face.

Meanwhile, the rest of the ninjas on the Destiny's Bounty were watching from Zane's eyes, awkwardly listening to Cole's singing.

"What...is he doing?" Jay asked uncomfortably, yet trying to hide his grin.

"I don't know, but I hope it's being recorded." Kai remarked, trying to contain his laughter.

Cole's singing is then lowered to barely a whisper, much to everyone's relief, as another voice came into the monitor.

"Zane says he has a plan to get the Sons of Garmadon's trust, and that we must trust him."

"Glow little glowworm glow and glimmer, swim through the sea–" Before Cole could sing—or rather shriek—another word, the music suddenly shut off, alerting all the thugs, the generals, and even the disguised ninjas.

Tension started to rise as metal-like footsteps were heard coming from the center of the room. Everyone seemed to have lost their joy and excitement, replaced with fear and seriousness in the air. Those who were closest to the source moved away to reveal a group of five people, definitely catching the ninjas' attention.

Lloyd glared at the group with disdain as he realized who they were.

The Sons of Darkness...

He couldn't help but not feel surprised that they didn't look so similar to the Sons of Garmadon. Yes, they were wearing more armor on them that looked really sturdy and strong. And the colors were either dark purple, night black, or blood-red, which symbolized their status being with the Sons of Darkness.

They actually looked more frightening than the Sons of Garmadon.

Two people stood out more than the goons surrounding them. The generals of the Sons of Darkness.

The one on the left was a man that looked to be about a foot taller than Garmadon, and was much more intimidating, with his muscled body covered with nasty scars, cold blood-red eyes, nasty pale skin, and greasy black hair slicked back. He was wearing a bulky armor colored blacker than the night sky, and with some kind of weapon on the back. In other words, he looked like a deranged former military general.

The other general is a beautiful woman that looked a lot like a model, with her glossy auburn hair cascade to her waist. Her ocean eyes might be filled with charisma, but there was a hint of sadistic and cruelty within it. She was wearing a long black dress that looked fashionable yet suitable for travels and fighting, along with matching booties and jewelry.

"Madame Catty and Master Phantom!" One of the Sons of Garmadon thugs screamed in a mixture of fear and awe. Immediately, all of the crooks fell to one knees and bowed for the two generals. All except the disguised Zane and Cole, and the hidden members of the Kamiare Family.

"Oh, it is so good to see you all having fun, Sons of Garmadon!" The woman general, Catty, cooed at the crooks with an alluring voice that seemed to attract all the males. Except the ninjas of course.

"Yes, it would be fun. But who are THEY?!" The burly man, Phantom, screamed in a really loud voice that rivals even Jay's excessive screams.

"Uh, I'm Rocky Dangerbuff, and I was just singing before I was rudely interrupted. So who are you people?" Cole made a comeback, causing the ninjas to flinch and the Sons of Garmadon to gasp in shock. The earth elemental looked around in confusion, wondering what was going on.

The military-like general narrowed his eyes in suspicion, then gave a smile that chilled everyone to the bones. Lloyd couldn't help but grab his father and cousin's hands and squeeze them in fear.

"I am Phantom, one of the top generals to the Sons of Darkness." The burly man started walking up to the stage and towards Cole with a sickening smile increasing. "And..." He grabbed the earth elemental and leaned towards his face. "Your worst nightmare."

Rip!

Phantom had ripped off Cole's disguise moustache.

"YEEEEOOOOOOOWCCCHHH!" Cole shrieked, grabbing where a red mark was already forming. Unknowingly, he loosened his fake scar as it fell to the floor.

Silence had fallen onto the club, everyone freezing like statues as they stared at Cole, who stood there awkwardly.

"IMPOSTER!" one of the goons exclaimed.

"THAT'S THE NINJA WHO'S AFRAID TO SING!" Another goon, obviously Luke Cunningham, pointed out.

"GRAB HIM!" Ultra Violet ordered with a shriek. Everyone obeyed as they lunged at Cole, who defended himself with the microphone stand.

"Zane, a little help!" Cole cried out as he struggled to defend himself. Before he could even see, he got hit hard in the head by a square stool.

Zane had knocked his own comrade out!

"Find this 'Zane' and bring him too!" Zane ordered, even though he technically has no powers, but some of them seems to comply.

The other general, Catty, calmly wandered around the chaos, unfazed by it. "There could be other ninja as well. Find them!"

Lloyd gasped in shock and horror.

They were discovered!

How in his grandfather's name did the Sons of Darkness figure it out?

"We need to get out of here now!" Garmadon ordered as he grabbed his son's and nephew's wrists. He dragged them away from the chaos and the angered general.

The hallway was getting crowded as more and more thugs and criminals crammed their way, looking for Lloyd and his family, who were unknowingly in front of them.

But as they were searching for an escape route, something clammy grabbed Lloyd by his other wrist and pulled him back. Fear coursed through his body as he prepared to defend himself from whoever got him.

Before he could do so, however, a blinding pain surged through his whole body, making Lloyd nearly scream in anguish. Whatever it was, the next thing he knew, the green ninja was beginning to sway, slipping out of his father's grasp.

The green ninja was dragged to the opposite side of the club and away from his father. He turned around to see who got him, and his eyes bulged out to see it was a man with black streaked hair and cold purple eyes. His outfit and body told Lloyd he belonged to something he wished he didn't meet.

The Sons of Darkness.

"You best stay quiet if you know what's good for you, imposter!" Another man with a red Afro and beard came up in front of Lloyd with a wicked grin.

Lloyd turned away and his head fell from exhaustion, anthe source.

A tranquilizer dart.

"SON!" Garmadon worriedly screamed through the chaos. He saw the dart too and was panicking now, but he was trapped in such a large crowd that he couldn't get to Lloyd in time. He was being pulled away, forcing him to sigh in defeat, knowing he would have to leave the area.

"Guys–" Lloyd is muffled before he could call out for his family. He watched in tears as his father dragged Morro through the crowd, getting further and further away from the distressed ninja. He tried to telepathically communicate to him, but his emotions had taken over.

"FATHER!"

No response. Garmadon was nowhere to be seen now.

The energy elemental's vision went black as the chemical from the dart drained the energy to stay awake.

Before he lost consciousness, Lloyd reached out a hand and squeaked a weak cry for his father.

"Daddy... Don't leave me..."

The masters of wind and destruction kept on running through the crowded hallway.

Away from the chaos.

Away from danger.

Away from Lloyd.

The two finally burst through the door, finally out of Laughy's and separated from the Sons of Darkness. They collapsed to the concreted ground, exhausted from the escape.

And it was only then that Garmadon noticed someone was missing. "Lloyd..." He looked back to see that his dear child was nowhere in sight. He then remembered what happened moments ago.

His heart sank as tears welled up in his eyes instinctively and in overwhelming guilt. How could he have left his child behind like that? He knew Lloyd was capable of protecting himself, but he had a bad feeling with the Sons of Darkness.

"M-My child..." He turned back to the club, determination clear in his face. "We gotta go back. Lloyd's in danger! We can't leave him behind!"

As they began to rush back to Laughy's, a loud rev was suddenly heard from a close distance. The two turn, and they saw a bunch of bikers gathering in front of the club, consisting of the Sons of Garmadon.

Some of them were laughing as two of the generals from the Sons of Garmadon came out of the club. Ultra Violet was carrying someone unconscious, gagged, and tied him up onto one of the bikes.

Cole.

"We gotta split! Now let's get out of this place!" Ultra Violet ordered to the other bikers. They all got on their bikes and were prepared to head out until something stopped them in their tracks.

"Wait a second!" All of them turned to a voice they seemed to recognize, but was foreign to Garmadon and Morro. The two turned to see three more thugs come out of the club, along with someone who seemed to be shuffling.

"We got someone else! And he's a special one!" A woman with cropped, dark purple hair and black lace clothings giggled.

Two of her fellow guys were dragging another person, concealed in shadows, who was tied and gagged as well. Unlike Cole, he seemed to be awake as he was struggling to break free. Nonetheless, the bikers succeeded to get him onto one of their bikes, which was more futuristic and dangerous-looking than the Sons of Garmadon's

"Who in Ninjago's name is it?" Ultra Violet asked demandingly but with much more respect. She seemed to be much more cautious with the Sons of Darkness, which surprised the ninja. They must have been really dangerous if they made the craziest woman they knew to act so calm around them.

The woman smirked, gesturing over to one of the men who near the prisoner. He nodded and grabbed onto one of the prisoner's wrists, and ripped something out of it. A blue-white flash covers the person, and when it dies down, a familiar blonde-haired, green-eyed boy took its place.

"The infamous green ninja and the imposter child of Garmadon!"

"No..." Sensei Garmadon stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the sight before him. The Sons of Garmadon had gotten to his child.

"HAHAHA! The Quiet One will be so happy to hear that!" Ultra Violet excitedly giggled out of control. It sickened the ninja as they watched from the roofs, out of sight.

"The Quiet One?" Garmadon repeatedly asked to himself. Could that person be in charge of the Sons of Garmadon?

Before the thugs of the Sons of Garmadon could grab the green ninja, the same woman who spoke blocked them along with the two men. "Not so fast, Ultra Violet. He's coming with us at the moment."

"What's the big idea?! He's enemy number one to the Sons of Garmadon, and we want to pay him back for thinking he's the sole child of Lord Garmadon!" Ultra Violet screeched, now starting to get back to her normal self.

That's because he IS my child! Garmadon would love to scream at the psychotic woman, but knows he couldn't do it without giving him and his nephew away.

"That may be, but the green ninja is also the leader to the entire ninja team. He could provide both of us with...useful information." The woman turned to Lloyd with a twisted smirk on her face. "With a little push, of course."

Garmadon growled protectively for his son, and nearly lunged at the bikers to tear them apart limb by limb. Morro had to hold his uncle back just to make sure they didn't give themselves away. As much as he wanted the Sons of Darkness to suffer, they needed to stay hidden or they wouldn't be able to save their beloved leader.

"Calm down, Uncle Garmadon. If we get caught, we'll never be able to save Lloyd." This snapped the sensei out of his rage, as he realized his nephew was right.

"Ugh, fine. We have to go to the big man anyway since we got new potential recruits." Ultra Violet groaned.

Garmadon looked across and saw that there were a few crooks not dressed in Sons of Garmadon uniforms. Including Zane.

Morro's eyes widen as he realized what happened back in the club. "Guys, this was Zane's plan. They've gained their trust."

"But they still have Cole...and I don't think Lloyd was part of Zane's plan!" Jay screamed, albeit quietly, to Morro.

Ultra Violet got on her motorcycle with Cole in tow, and the woman got on her own with Lloyd tied to it.

Garmadon's heart clenched as he watched the biker who was now taking his son away to possibly his worst nightmare. His body trembled in so much emotional pain as he feared for Lloyd's safety. "I-I-It can't b-be..."

After a few seconds passed, which seemed more like hours, the destruction elemental forced himself to stay strong. Lloyd wouldn't want that, and he needed to be safe. He narrowed his eyes, glaring angrily at the biker who tore his son away from him. "We need to get him back now."

A beep from their communicators got Garmadon and Morro's attention. They quickly turned it on and Pixal's voice is heard through it. "The ninjas had seen what happened at the front of the club. They are already heading there to stop them."

"Can you provide us transportation, Pixal?" Morro anxiously asked as he observed his sister and their friends descending into the streets.

"It is already on your way." Morro hears from a distant an engine roar, and he and Garmadon turned to see something coming their way. It skidded to a halt, creating dust and clouding their visions. Once the view was clear, there were two automated motorcycles, one dark purple and one dark green.

"Perfect. Thanks, Pixal." Morro gave one last message before he got on the dark green motorcycle.

"Normally, I'm not a fan of these high-tech weapons, but my son is in danger, and I'm willing to risk it." Garmadon stated as he got on his new dark purple bike. He put on his visor, which went along with the motorcycle, and prepared to head into the road and get his child back, one way or another.
