"So...What exactly am I gonna do again..?" Regina asked as she was being carried to the Golden Peaks, inside a cage much like the one the Serpentine had once used to carry around Lloyd.

"Quite simple my dear, you will be a conductor...Much like your 2 Lightning Ninjas were...And you will be used to harness the Golden Aura from the Golden Peaks. Any questions..?" Pythor told the trapped Green Ninja, who thought about it for a bit before nodding her head.

"Uh..Yeah, 2 actually. One, what happens after you use me as a conductor..?"

"Oh...Well, that is a good question...Hmm..I suppose we'd use you to lure your mother out so we could harness the Moon Beam Fragments."

"How exactly would you do that then...?"

"Oh, we'd probably reawaken the Moon Princess...Or, atleast Eun's spirit for a few minutes...Was that your second question..?"

"Not really, more like an add on question. My second question is, what happens if I were to..Say...Break out..?" Pythor blinked at this question, before chuckling a bit.

"If you could get out, well..That would be quite the sight, now wouldn't it..? But I suppose...We'd have to hunt you down and aquire you again." Pythor declared, before he suddenly heard a loud BANG from behind him. Turning around Pythor's jaw dropped when he saw the door of the cage open, with Regina standing ontop of a tree branch...About 10 feet above him.

"NOT THAT BIG OF A SIGHT WHEN YOU FORGET TO LOCK THE DOOR!" Regina yelled out before jumping through the canopy, Pythor's eyes flashed red with anger.

"OOOOOH AFTER HER! DO NOT LET HER ESCAPE!"


Steel sighed as he finally signed the last of part of the paper, before he and Cody gave the paper to Ali, who nodded his head. The paper was an agreement stating that, should Regina allow this, she would date both boys. Yet each day was a day with a different boy (such as Week 1; Monday- Steel, Tuesday-Cody, etc...Week 2; Monday- Cody, Tuesday- Steel, etc...), and that their "petty" arguments wouldn't effect their ninja duties.

"Now, can we get back to trying to find my- *Steel coughs*...Our Regina...?" Cody asked after the small interruption, Ali nodded his head before the 3 got up and went to the Bridge.


Regina smiled as she looked down at the Serpentine trying to climb the tree she was now hiding in, 20 branches high did seem a bit big for the snake-creatures.

In all honesty, she couldn't help but love this...! Thank goodness for her mother teaching her how to be okay with heights.


12 Years Ago

The 4 year old Regina gulped as she looked underneath her, the 5th branch was already making her a bit dizzy.

"One step at a time, okay honey..?" Regina's mom whispered to her from the branch above her, the girl slowly nodded her head before reaching up to the other branch and jumping. Yet her fingers slipped off the branch, and her feet were already causing her to go do-

"Woop!" Grace chimed as she suddenly hook her knees around the branch she was sitting in, and spun upside-down to catch Regina. Regina looked at her mom with wide-eyes, noticing the grin on her face.

"I may have been a dancer honey, but don't forget, Mommy was also in the circus..! Remember to image what you're gonna do before you do it, and then just...Take flight..!" Grace chimed before she tossed Regina up into the air, getting a few excieted giggles from the girl, before she gripped a tree branch 4 branches over her mom's head.

"Very good..!" Grace called out to her daughter, who gave her a shy smile, before she continued up.


Regina sighed fondly at the memory, before getting up from her seat and hopping 4 trees over from where she was, causing a few groans from the Serpentine.

"AW COME ON!" Skales yelled out, before he slid down the tree...And yelled in pain at the blisters. Regina giggled at all of this before she continued to hop from tree to tree. Honestly, how idiot was all of th-

"OMPH!" Regina grunted as she suddenly felt a rope lasso her waist, before look up to see Fangtom in a helicopter...Well, wasn't THAT dandy..?


Steel glared at his cousin, who was singing as they were watching the scanners in the Bridge.

Cody; On my own
Pretending she's beside me
All alone
I walk with her till morning
Without her
I feel her arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And she has found me

In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is her and me forever and forever

And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to her
And although I know that she is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us

I love her
But when the night is over-

"I'll sock you in the mouth..!" Steel cut off his cousin's words, making the Lightning Ninja fall silent.

"We've found her..!" Nya yelled out, before punching in the coordinates.


Regina growled as she yanked at the chains that bound her arms to the ground, feeling compress as Pythor placed metallic armor over her shoulders and an odd crown on her head. The crown had 2 high points, fangs almost, and the tips of the fangs touched to a circle. All around the crown was clear crystals...What was going on..?

"Relax my dear...This will only deplete your element and life energy to...Ohhhh...I'd say around 0.01%..! But don't worry, that gives you just enough energy, to live..!" Pythor falsely encouraged the girl, who growled at him as Skales put a gag over her mouth. No need for any ear-splitting screams, right...?

Regina yelled against the gag, before Pythor patted her head.

"Now, now, dear. We're just looking out for your comfort..!" Pythor declared before he let out a laugh, and then picked up a piece of chalk.


Ali sighed as he, Kai, Zane, Jay, Cody, and Steel stalked up behind the Serpentine. The fathers had come along to make sure that there weren't any...Casualties...

"They're they are..!" Kai stated as he pointed to the peak, where 3 figures were moving around a stationary figure.

"What's the plan dad..?" Steel questioned the older man, who looked to Zane.

"I suggest we stay here...Though it pains me to admit this, but we would only further make the situation less in our favor if we were to attack." Zane told the group, who growled and glared at this option.


Regina watched as Pythor made a 8 sided compass-like star around her. Once he added the last line, Regina felt her crown and shackles start to vibrate. Ooooooh not good..!


Grace growled as she paced around her room, Cole and Karishma trying to calm the pregnant woman down.

"Honey, please...Settle down.! You mustn't over-work yourself..!" Karishma told her daughter, before she gasped when she looked at her daughters eyes. The baby blues flashed quickly to a bright red, only for Grace to clench her eyes shut and shake her head.

"Y..You're right...I-I'm sorry...I-I just need to get some sleep..! Yeah, after all...It's not like Regina is in any danger..Right..?" Grace questioned, before she and Cole suddenly felt an odd nagging feeling in the back of their heads. Crud.


Regina screamed into the cloth around her mouth, DEAR LORD SHE WAS BEING BURNED ALIVE!

"Now, now dear. It isn't THAT bad...It's much worse." Pythor stated from behind her, enjoying how the Green Ninja tossed and tugged against the chains. It was almost done, only a few more minutes and the crown would be overflowing with the Golden Aura..!

phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Huh...? What'sssss that..?" Skalidor asked, before all the generals looked up...To see the red armor of the Samurai fall from above.

"RETREAT!" Pythor screamed out as all the Serpentine back away, only for him to slither back and wretch the crown off of Regina's head. THEY HAD ENOUGH!


Nya grunted as she jumped out of her armor, before running over to the slumped-over Regina. Quickly the Samurai took off the gag, earning a moan from the teenager.

"It'll be alright Regina, you're safe now.." Nya whispered as she undid Regina's restraints, behind her she could hear the other ninjas running.

"A...aunt Nya..?"

"Yes Sweetie..?"

"Where...Where did the Serpentine go..?"

"I don't know, why..?" clank There, the chains were gone.

"They...They said..Said they'd use me t-to get to my mom.." Nya blinked at this, before she helped Regina stand up.

"We'll tell your dad and the others about that, but for now, we need to make sure you're okay." Nya told the Green Ninja, who gasped for breath it seemed.

"A...Also...T..Tell my mom, t-ta keep a protective amulet on..A-at all tim-" Regina finally lost consciousness at that point, falling deeper and deeper into the darkness as she heard her 'Aunt' call out her name.


Regina groaned as she opened her eyes, before looking around the Infirmary...Only to smirk when she saw the sleeping forms of Cody and Steel on both sides of her bed. Honestly..These 2...

..

"Are the sweetest guys I know." Regina whispered to herself, before resting her head back down. Dear lord, she needed to sleep.


Ali, Nya, and Zane all sighed as they looked over the map. The fire temple, the nunchuck monument, and the Golden Peaks...What did it all mean...?

"Boy, what I wouldn't give to be back home in Ninjago right now...Going out with the girls, strolling through the park, shopping with Bunny-" Ali blinked at Nya's sentence, holding up a hand.

"Wait..Say that again..."

"Shopping with Bunn-"

"No! Not that, before the shopping.."

..

..

"OH! You mean, strolling through the park..?" Nya asked, Ali nodded his head before he quickly went to the computer and pulled up a picture of the statues in the park Kyle had built.

"For now we can use the statues as an estimate as to where everything is.." Ali told his dad and 'Aunt', who nodded their heads as they followed along. Quickly Ali made a copy of the statue's positions, before putting the copy over the map of Ninjago that had the markers of everywhere the Serpentine had been..

The statues of Lloyd, Charlotte, and Kyle all aligned with the Golden peaks.

The Fire Temple was directly North of the Golden Peaks, just as Kai's statue was north of Lloyd/Charlotte/Kyle's.

The nunchuck monument then was North-East of the Golden Peaks, in the direction of Jay's statue to Lloyd/Charlotte/Kyle's.

..

...

..

.

"We need to contact Kyle, and figure out where he got the positions for the statues from." Zane declared, before Nya went over to the phone and dialed a number.

"*sigh* No good, we must be in a bad zone or they're out of signal...!" Nya declared, that was when Sensei Wu entered the room.

"Then we must hurry, time is of the essence." Sensei Wu stated, before they all nodded their heads.
