Cece groaned as she heard voices grew upstairs, she looked over at her clock, it was around midnight and she groaned again. Luke made an unhappy chirp and he hopped down off his hammock and landed on cece's bed, nudging her face.
"Get the water luke." luke gave two taps before rushing off. Not a moment later where she was doused in cold water!
"AH!" cece exclaimed before she smiled, now fully awake "good boy, now.." her eyes went white "time to find out who woke me up AT THIS TIME!"
Luke gave out chirps and cece looked over at him, luke had a look on his face and cece sweatdropped
"Right...nice person…" there was yelling upstairs "starting when the sun rises" cece growled as she ran. Luke following her.
"BOYS YOU BETTER HAVE A-" cece started but she was suddenly whacked on the head "OW! WHAT'S THE BIG ID-" cece's eyes widen once she realized who hit her "..ea…?"
Sensei wu stared at the girl. It was kind adorable, she was wearing a oversized t-shirt that looked like one of jay's along with boxers. The t-shirt hid the boxers slightly but it was noticeable. Cece sweatdropped and she bowed her head
"Sorry wu, i just though-" cece started but then she caught a glimpse behind him, there was a figure that was nearly covered in shadow. But she did make out red eyes. "HOLY SMOKE WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THI- OW" cece rubbed her head as wu hit her again
"Enough out of you!" wu exclaimed "now, cece this is lord garmadon, and i was just telling the boys he'll be our guest." cece blinked before rubbing her head
"I think i got hearing problems from the whacks, i thought you said he was our guest." cece smiled but then frowned "that was a mishearing right?"
"No, that is correct." wu said and lord garmadon stepped forward
"So this is the girl who caused the ninja fear and pain since i left." garmadon's voice was deeper than what she'd imagined it would be.
"Fear not so much, pain, 24/7!" cece smiled and she stuck out her hand " nice to meet ya"
"CECE DON'T BE NICE TO HIM!" yelled kai and cece raised a brow
"Why?"
"Because-" wu raised his staff " i'll tell you later."
"Nice save man" cece laughed as luke pounced on her shirt and ran up to her shoulder
"Anyways sensei, we really have to live with this guys?" exclaimed cole
"But sensei he has four arms!" told zane
"And let's not forget that he tried to take the golden weapons of spi-"
"ENOUGH!" wu yelled and the four ninja fell into a line
"Hai sensei." they spoke in unison
"This isn't about the weapons, it's about my son!" garmadon exclaimed
"From here on out, you will obey me and you will respect my brother" wu stated firmly and the ninja and cece bowed
"Hai sensei."
"Now to the bridge, we have more pressing matters to attend to." wu said, walking to the control room.
Cece didn't miss the smirk garmadon flashed kai, which made the fire ninja clench his fists.

By the time the others were done explaining what has happened the last few days while sensei was gone, the run had rose and cece was snuggled in one of kai's oversized sweaters with luke sleeping in the hood.
"So have you figured out where the other fan blades are?" wu asked.
"Well no…pythor manage to get the first three but there's still two left." jay answered
"And we only need one to prevent them from releasing the great devourer." cole continued.
"Any luck finding there whereabouts?" wu asked
"I've gotten into contact with the criminal underworld and i'm having them search on the down-low for any information" cece said quietly not wanting to wake up luke.
"And my falcon is programmed to alert us if he sees any suspicious activities." zane announced
"Good, if we find the fangblade, we find lloyd." wu said and cece frowned at the mention of the blond boy. "Kai and nya, clear the deck and check the anchor, to be ready for when we get word about activities."
"Hai sensei." the smith siblings said in unison before started to walk to the door.
"I have my eye on you" kai growled at gramadon, narrowing his eyes as he walked. Cece gave a chuckle as kai hit his head on the door frame due to not paying attention before nya yanked him out.
"Zane, did you say the falcon was programmed?" asked wu in confusion
"Oh okay sensei, i don't know where to start, it all started when…." cece zoned at the story, her attention going outside. After about a few minutes, she saw kai flip in the air for no reason and he turned to nya and spoke a few words. He then glared up at the bridge and spotted her and he waved. She shook her head at him, this was gonna be a long week.

"BLUEJAY!" yelled cece and she barged into the boys room, kai looked at her, his hair hanging low from the shower water. Cole was half-knocked out on his bed and zane was just sitting on his bed reading.
"WHAT?!" yelled jay from the shower
"Have you seen luke anywhere? I can't find him" she asked
"Why You asking me?" jay called back
"Because he was climbing you ten minutes ago." cece deadpanned
"Uh i think he went with gramado-...oh boy.."
"Well nice knowing you jay." kai said with a slight laugh as he took cover under his bed as cece's eyes twitched
"YOU LET MY BABY WITH THAT MAN!" cece yelled "GARMADON!"
Cece dashed over to the guest room when she smelled something that made her eyes widen, the spray cans going off. She kicked the door open and she gasped.
"Do you like it?" gramadon smirked. Her room was coated black with blood red strips here and there almost resembling slashes.
"..." Cece's eye was twitching, her body paralyzed. Luke saw a glint in her eyes and he hid under the blanket quickly, gramadon noticed this but before he could react he was shot with white flames. "NO ONE GOES INTO MY ROOM AND CHANGE THINGS WITHOUT GETTING A BEATING!"
That night was not a pleasant one for anyone.
.

"You sure this is a good idea kai?" asked cece as she read a comic that she stole from lloyd's room as she and kai worked in the bridge, they were set to watch to see if the falcon spots anything.
"Yes! When we get out of here, i want you to shoot me the hottest fire you got, i can handle it!" kai said smiling "i'm the ninja of fire! It's my element"
Cece frowned, moving her mouth to one side "my flames are hotter than a active volcano."pulling out her white flames which flickered to blue "my flames will be going down a color.i'll hit you with blue flames, those are more tame."
"Good enough." kai then paused before running to the door "gotta go!"
"Wait but we-" he was already gone and cece had a tick mark in her head as her fingertips started to have electric charges. "Dipstick."
The sounds of quacking made her look over to the screen and she gasped. The falcon found them! He found lloyd! And pythor, but lloyd!
"Expand image" cece ordered and the fee from the falcon zoomed out. So that's where they're heading. The temple of fire.
"BOYS GET UP HERE NOW! GO GO GO!" cece screamed and almost immediately, cole zane and jay ran up.
"What's wrong?" cole asked quickly
"Found them!" cece answered just as quick and jay looked around
"Where's kai?" jay snapped and cece shrugged
"I heard yelling downstairs so check there." cece said with a shrug and he ran down. No later than five minutes jay brought the idiot who left her and the others.
"Looks like pythor is heading to the temple of fire." nya stated.
"That means the fangblade is there." kai stated
"And lloyd" cece and garmadon said in unison.
"That's the same fire temple were kai and lord garmadon first faced off!" jay said and cece raised a brow. What did he just say?
"And if my memory serves me correctly, one of us cheated when we last fought." kai said accusingly
"And i remember someone needing their sensei to help him." garmadon said in the same tone.
"BOYS!" yelled cece and they both looked over at her "cole is trying to talk."
"For the sake of the fangblade and lloyd, can we please get along?" cole asked annoyed "and thank you cece."
"No prob."
"Since the last time we've been there, the temple has gotten unstable, the whole thing is about to blow up" nya said and cece narrowed her eyes. If that blows up then lloyd's a goner...but then again so is pythor. But sadly that snake seemed to have nine lives."this will be a highly combustible environment"
"Oh great, just what i love. Fighting evil snakes in a volcano that's about to blow up!" jay said sarcastically
"Enough!" cece ordered and jay shut his mouth. "My lavabending can hold off the lava in there until we get lloyd and the fangblade, but that can only bring us a short amount of time so be quick"
"Oh yeah..hehe" jay laughed awkwardly.
"where are our weapons?" zane asked
"And why isn't lord garmadon here?" asked kai suddenly before he ran out of the room.
"Kai!" cole called after him as they all ran down there. Nya tried to open the door where there was a ton of bangs and yelling was coming from, but the doorknob wouldn't budge, soon enough the thumps and bangs were louder.
"What are you doing?!" cried nya.
"Finding my true potential!" yelled kai through the door.
"True potential my ass kai! Get out of there!" ordered cece but all she got was kai behind thrown to the door and sliding down. "Oh well i tried."
"Stand back!" cole yelled and he stepped forward. He started to glow before he yelled "
EARTH!" and kicked the door down.
Everyone rushed in and cece ran to kai while everyone else went to garmadon who was on the floor.
"I did it! I defeated him!" kai repeated over and over again in pride….that is until cece tackled him and held his arms behind his back and jabbed his ribcage. Instantly, kai fell limp.
"What!? What Are you doing?!" kai yelled
"What am i doing? What are you doing!?" cece answered.
"But did i get my true potential? Why isn't it working?!" kai yelled again
"Because you can not defeat an enemy who allowed himself to be defeated." said wu, helping his brother up.
"I wasn't trying to steal your weapons boy, i was just fetching them." lord garmadon said.
"But you were trying to steal them!" accused kai
"I asked him to get them." wu snapped "perhaps it is best you don't reach your true potential, or else someone will get hurt"
"Way to go hero." said cole sarcastically.
"You're an idiot you know that?"
Cece walked in front of the others, eager to be fighting. Her white flames dancing in her hands and her eyes were glinting with mischief. She was wearing her ninja suit again which was able to take the extreme heat much better than her previous outfit.
"The volcano seems to be on the verge of blowing guys, this means the place is extremely fragile, when the smallest thing can make the whole thing go off" nya said through the speaker on the falcon and cece smirked
"Not a problem" she said with a careless wave of the hand as her flames went out "thanks to them overgrown geckos i'm now capable of using lava to our advantage."
"Um no cece, you're abilities with lava may be there but they're nowhere near stable. The only reason why you had control over it last time was because you're full power was controlling it. You were basically asleep when you did it and you might be more unstable if you do it here...you're basically a hazard."
"When aren't i?"
"Then we must not use our weapons." sensei wu said as the ninja put away their weapons, all but kai.
"Kai?" asked nya in a judgmental tone.
"Yeah yeah no fireblade but only because i don't want anything to get in the way of us and the fangblade" kai said as he put away his sword
"And lloyd." cece and garmadon said in unison
"There, the serpentine must be inside the inner core. From here on out we travel by shadow." wu said and cece and garmadon bolted in
"It's the only way i know how" garmadon said, speaking for him and cece.
The inside of the temple was crawling with snakes, all were digging aside from pythor who was watching everyone closely.
"There's lloyd" jay said pointing at the child in the cage and cece's head snapped to the direction he pointed, her fists lighting a flame once again.
"The first fangblade is ours!" pythor yelled holding the fangblade up and cece's eyes flashed pure white as she lite her flames.
"ninja...ATTACK!" pythor yelled as he caught a reflection of the ninjas who were climbing down.
"Light as a leaf! Fight like there is no tomorrow!" sensei wu commanded and the battle begun.
Cece sprinted to the cage that held lloyd, throwing fire as fast she could. Soon she felt something wrap around her tightly and she gasped but she was stopped when the grip tightened.
"I think i just found a new toy." the constrictai general smirked and cece groaned. The overgrown worm suddenly smelled something that was similar to burned flesh as well as massive amounts of heat and pain from his tail. He looked and he scream was he saw that his tail was on fire, cece was engulfed in the flames but for some reason it didn't affect her. Eventually in three seconds the tail grip loosened and cece pulled out a dagger and before she can blink, the tail was chopped straight off and cece fell to the ground as the general screamed.
"You should know better then that. Haven't anyone tell you to not touch a girl?" she asked as she throw the blood oozing tail into the lava before running off laughing evilly "GREENBEAN! WHERE ARE YA?"
"Cece?..." cece's ears picked up and she looked over to see a snake put lloyd just over the lava.
"If you don't wanna be new boots for me, i suggest you let go." cece said as she walked closer to the snake who started shaking.
"KICK HIS BUTT CECE!" yelled lloyd.
"Drop him already you fool!" yelled pythor and the snake did was he said.
"NO!" within seconds, the snake was dead with multiple knives in his front body and cece was trying to lift the cage back up as the bottom was slowly disappearing "oh boy! You need to lose weight!"
"Okay that's just mean." lord garmadon's voice said behind her before his four hands grabbed the pole and lifted it up with ease with lloyd and cece. Cece was hanging two inches in the air but fell back down.
"now..PYTHOR!" cece's eyes went pure white as her hands started to produce lightning "YOU HURT MY FAMILY! MESSING WITH THE NINJAS IS THE WORST MISTAKE YOU'VE EVER MADE!"
"RETREAT!" yelled pythor as he and his recruits ran away "LEAVE THEM A PARTING-GIFT."
Right after pythor said that, four the constrici dug into the wall of the volcano. The lava rose at a fast pace. They all went toward an exit, all expect kai.
"Leave it kai, it's not worth your life!" yelled jay
"Kai! Come on! Get back over here!" yelled cece.
"Not without the fangblade!" kai argued, still going for the blade.
"Forget about it! Come on!" yelled cece.
"We must go." wu said.
"But what about kai!?" asked lloyd "kai!"
Suddenly there was a loud crack and within a blink of an eye, lloyd was falling closer to the lava.
"LLOYD!" garmadon yelled.
"Dad! I'm sinking." lloyd yelled frightened.
Cece moved her arms in a strong movement, trying to move the lava but all it did was make it hotter. Cece's eyes were wide and she tried to move the rocks but nothing happened.
"Why isn't it working!?"
"We need to get out of here or else none of will." wu said as they started to back tried time and time again, each time nothing worked with each fail, she was getting more desperate. Soon cole had to grab cece and haul her over his shoulder.
"WAIT, WHAT ABOUT LLOYD AND KAI?!" Yelled cece as she struggled, sadly her strength was nothing compared to cole's.
"LLOYD!"
"KAI!" cece and garmadon yelled as they both were dragged out of the volcano "STOP! WE HAVE TO GO BACK FOR THEM!"
"WE CAN'T, WE'RE SORRY CECE!" Jay yelled as they boarded the bounty, just as they did the volcano erupted,lava shooting in random directions.
"No…son." garmadon whispered in disbelief.
"Kai.." nya said quietly and cece's eyes widen.
"No...not again." cece growled, bowing her head. Her fists clenched tightly that they turned white, suddenly the trees around them started to wilt, the grass became a dark brown as a dark aura surrounded her.
"Wait a minute..what's that!?" pointed jay and they all looked up to see a ball of fire hual towards them. Cece squinted her eyes and she saw a black cloak and glowing eyes. The ball went onto the deck and when it faded, kai and lloyd appeared. Kai set lloyd down smiling….before he passed out.
"THANK THE LORD AND BABY JESUS!"
"Dad? Is it really you?" asked lloyd weakly.
"Yes, it is son." lord garmadon said, his voice gently.
"Dad? Why do you have four arms?" lloyd asked and they all smiled.
"He's gonna be okay!" declared cole, throwing his arms in the air.
"Thank you kai." garmadon said smiling.
"But how?" asked zane "how did you find your true potential?"
"My destiny wasn't to become the green ninja, it's too protect him." kai said, before smiling at llyod. Cece's mind finally processed what he said and her eyes trailed to lloyd, same with everyone else.
"What? What's everyone staring at me for?" asked lloyd cluelessly and cece smiled. Yep, still there lloyd.
"That means.." nya started before the four ninja placed their golden weapons in front of lloyd, immediately they all floated with a green aura.
"Lloyd! Is the green ninja!" wu said "i thought it was one of you but it was him the whole time. It all makes sense, not only have you four been chosen to protect the golden weapons, but also, the chosen one."
"Wait that means…" garmadon said slowly, his smile turning into a fearful frown.
"battle lines have been drawn brother. Brother vs brother, and now...son vs father." sensei wu said and a deadly silence entered the room.
"Yeah this is heavy and all but what about the FANGBLADE?!" jay reminded.
"It burned in the hell it came from."
"Hey lloyd? Can i talk to you for a second?" cece said as she walked up to the lloyd with luke on her shoulder.
"Huh? Oh yeah, sure cece" lloyd said, blushing a bit and he followed her to the deck where they both sat down.
"I don't think i've said sorry." cece said suddenly and lloyd looked at her with a raised brow
"Sorry? Sorry for what?" lloyd asked as luke went off his lap and to cece's
"For..not being there sooner." cece said "as a leader of my gang, it's my job to make sure that my followers are safe. I consider everyone here apart of my gang so..it's my fault you were taken. If i wasn't stupid, then i could have helped."
"You don't need to say sorry for anything cece." lloyd said before smiling "i'm just glad that you're here now! You had us all worried when i saw you passed out in a small coma."
"One of many." cece said with a laugh.
"Did you ask me out here just to say that?" lloyd asked
"No..because i wanted to hang out with you." cece smiled and gave a little wink "we only hanged out once during our pranks, and i do kinda owe you from all the times you tried to hangout with me at darkley's so…"
"I thought you hated me back then." lloyd laughed "hell, you even told me."
"Well...i guess that's one lie i told you."
"Huh? What other lies have you told me?" lloyd asked smirking and cece laughed
"That still reminds to be seen little G!" giggled cece
"Little?! I'm five months older than you!"
"Not anymore little baby."
"Is that any way you talk to the green ninja?"
"Don't get a big head about it. it doesn't suit you."
