Chapter 13

One day before.

Back abroad the Bounty, were Sensei and Nya preparing to leave to the Underworld. Nya was the ship's training deck fixing her samurai exo-suit. Sensei came up from below deck of the ship, carrying the Rememberance Tea and a katana. Nya just finished fixing the exo-suit and saw Sensei walking up, jumped down and walked over to him.

"Almost ready to go Sensei." she said as she cleaned some oil off her hands, "Just need to grab my gear and we'll leave."

"Hurry up." Sensei ordered, "So much time has left us and little we have to save the ninja's and my son."

"Yes Sensei."

Nya ran down the stairs to her room and walked in. She walked over to closet and opened it to reveal her red samurai armor. She quickly suited up the armor, attached some gadgets to her arms, and grabbed her weapons. She took a few quick swipes of her sword, sheathed it, and attached it to her hip. Then she took a couple of throws of her S-shaped throwing star, and attached it to her back. She grabbed her helmet/mask and ran out the door. When she got back to the deck, Sensei was waiting for her on his seat, attached to one of the shoulders of the exo-suit.

"About time." he said, "So much time, we mustn't waste."

Nya rolled her eyes and jumped into the chest compartment of the suit. She pressed a buttton, the chestplace, of the suit, covered her body. Fire started to spark from the back and took flight. She directed the suit to the Misty Forest, and the Underworld.

Present.

Kai was slowly opening his eyes with a chronic headache. He tried to rub his head to ease the pain, but couldn't move his hands. He looked to his left and right and notice his arms were shackled to a wall, and were stretched out and was suspended a few feet off the ground. He looked around to find his brothers and couldn't see them. His eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness and saw the others were in the same situation as him.

"Augh. What happened?" he asked

"Well look whose finally awake fellas." said Cole

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Jay teased

"Not now Jay." says Kai as shot a angry glare at the blue ninja, "Zane, do you know where we are?"

Zane looked to his left to where Jay, Cole, and Kai were waiting for a answer. He knows where they are at and decided to give him a snappy answer.

"Isn't it obivious." said Zane, "We're in the Underworld."

"And Lloyd?" Kai asked

Zane turned his head in direction of a stalagmite, and pointed Lloyd to it.

"Over there." he said

The others drew their heads to where he pointed and saw Lloyd. Lloyd was too shackled to the stalagmite and suspended a few feet off the ground. And with his hood off his face, the ninja could see fear on his face.

"And our weapons?" Kai asked

"I believe Garmadon has them in the throne room." the nindroid replied

They saw Lloyd trying to escape but had no anvil. They pittied the kid ninja, and they don't know what will happen now.

"So what do they plan to do with him?" Cole wondered

"Weren't you listening." said a familar voice

They turned their heads to see Lucas walking up to them. With his hood removed, he gave them a grin for his victory in the forest. And with the ninja's hoods removed, they all shot glares at him, but Lucas ignored it.

"My master plans to turn him evil by tonight." said Lucas, "It will be like a happy father-son reunion to him."

"And how will he do that?" Jay asked

"You shall see soon."

Lucas pulled down a lever and it disappeared into the wall. The sound of stone grinding made the ninja's look up and saw the stone ceiling moving. Once it was opened, the ground started to vibrate beneath their feet. As the floor started to climb, they notice Lloyd was showing more fear when it reached into fire lights. The light was blinding to their eyes, but they quickly adjusted and saw they were surrounded by skeletons.

The chanting and cheering of skeletons made Lloyd more frightened, as they will witness his transformation. The ninja looked for Garmadon and found him sitting on his throne with an evil grin on his face, and found their weapons displayed, except Lucas's sai's, at the base of the throne. Garmadon stood up and walked down the stairs and within one of his four-hands was a small vial of green liquid. He walked over to his son, who still had a frighten face, and raised up one his other hands to silence and address the crowd.

"The time has come my army." he starts to address them, "The time for my son to be fighting by my side once and for all."
