Lauren's eyes focused on her opponent, filled with hatred. The weapons were now in a struggle for power, Lauren slowly gaining the upper hand. Suddenly, Wu pushed with tremendous power.
"I should've killed you when I got the chance, then I wouldn't have to put up with this weak old man's body," Wu said, something dark edging his words.
"What do you mean? Who are you?" Lauren said, grunting under the force of the man's sudden strength.
"I am Iak, I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet! Didn't you notice my sudden disappearances?" said the voice of her once father. Everyone flinched at the words, then stood, terrified at the battlefield. Lloyd stepped out onto the training area's floor.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" he shouted, readying his Golden Power. he was stopped by some sort've barrier. It was blue, and encased Lauren and Iak.
"Foolish mortals! You have no idea, the extent of my power now. Being so close to the Silver Ninja for so long has given me the ultimate strength. Now, I plan to have her as an ultimate energy source," Iak spoke menacingly, an alternate tone, deeper and more evil, now took Sensei's voice. The body of Sensei split into two beings, the original warrior, and A dark silhouette. Wu's body dropped to the ground, and Iak opened his eyes.
"Yes! I can breathe, hear, smell..." Iak looked at Lauren, who realized that his hair was that of Kai's. It was Kai, from when Garmadon attacked the boys. How was he alive? Lauren snapped out of it as Iak licked his darkened lips, still looking at the Silver Ninja.
"...Taste," he said. Lauren tensed, looking at her father's limp body. Was he dead?
"How long were you in my father's body?" Lauren asked Iak, who was looking off into the distance, thinking about something apparently. Iak looked back at her, a sickening passion in his eyes.
"I think you'd look good in the outfit I've planned out for you," Iak said. Lauren then tried something. She stood up, and touched the man's shoulder to see if he was alive, and not just a spirit or illusion. She felt flesh, but it was cold.
"Do you speak Ninjagan?" Lauren asked the evil figure. Iak nodded slowly, and walked in a circle around Lauren, observing her.
"You're stronger than I first anticipated. This will be harder than I thought," said Iak, putting his chin in his hand. Lauren then snapped back to reality, back to when Iak said he had an outfit for her.
"Wait, what do you mean, 'outfit'?" she asked him. Iak then put his hand out, and Lauren was frozen in place. She was under the control of Iak, and she couldn't fight it no matter how hard she tried. She was forced to raise her arms, where shackles appeared. She looked over at the steps, which were now blocked by the view of the others punching at the walls of the barrier, doing anything they could to break it. Kai had joined them. He was the one who was pounding the most, his fist was turning red. Lauren felt like she was crying, but no tears came out of her eyes.
"It's... okay," she managed to say. "He can't... hurt me." The pounding didn't stop, and Lauren felt a tear trickle down her face. That was the last thing she did before everything went dark.
She woke up in a silk bed, surrounded by a curtain.
"Good morning," said Iak, who was sitting on the edge of her bed. Lauren leaped back at the sight of him. He was now dressed like a king. He had wings though, the wings of a demon.
"What do you want?" Lauren asked him. She looked around, and saw that she was lying in a giant bird cage. Lauren looked at herself, and she was wearing a white dress with a silver trim and ribbon tied around the base of her chest. She had wings as well, but they were fairies'. She stood up, and tried to fly up. The wings wouldn't do anything, they were just accessories almost. Iak stood beside her, and he pointed to something on Lauren's arm. The shackles were still there.
"What do you want?!" Lauren repeated. Iak smiled the same sick smile again.
"I am merely keeping you safe here, while the rest of Ninjago is turned into my former master's image," Iak said, raising his arms, looking over the edge of the cage. They were nestled in a cloud above Ninjago.
"You should really be thanking me," he kept going. "I'm keeping you as the Queen of the Fairies. Titania." Lauren fumed at the last word. She was never to be called that, ever. She loved fairies as a little girl, and everyone had called her Titania, Queen of the Fairies. When she gained her powers though, people thought she was a freak, and she vowed to never be called that again.
"I will be leaving," said Iak. "And, by the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Oberon, King of the Demons." With that, Iak closed the door, and locked it with a keypad code. He waved his hand, leaving Lauren to think about her next move.
