Garmadon sat in the library, looking in an old book when his father walked in, "And what do you think you are doing in here Garmadon?" Masuta said sternly. "You are not allowed in here… and you know that-"

"I wonder why that is…" Garmadon glared, looking up from what he was reading and shut the book with a loud clap. "It's because you like to keep secrets…"

It came to the point where he was no longer intimidated by his father, probably because he was as tall as him now. "In the woods… Cardinsto told me about a Great Devourer and the venom infecting people…" he glared, "You didn't tell me something," he shoved the book at his father's chest, the page open where he was reading. "But I know now".

The Spinjitsu master read the page quickly and sighed, "I was hoping you wouldn't find out this way-"

"What way did you want me to find out then!?" the teenager shouted. "You and mom knew… you knew and you never told me a frikkin' thing!" he jabbed a finger at his father. Eyes pulsating with the crimson glow he had for the past eight years.

Masuta sighed and nodded, "I'm sorry son-"

"Don't call me that… don't you dare call me your son!" he yelled. "Wu knew before I even did about mom! You always favored Wu! You force so much responsibility on me only to turn around and pay attention to Wu! I hate you!"

He ran out. "Where are you going!?"

"AWAY FROM HERE!"

Misako and Namiko rolled their pants up, sticking their feet in the lake and lying back on the hot rocks, relaxing. "AAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

The girls bolted upright. They recognized the yell though and Misako pulled her feet out of the water and followed the echoing sound of her new boyfriend's yells. "Be right back Nami…"

She found him busting his way through foliage in clean sweeps. She hid behind a tree, knowing he needed to vent because of whatever probably happened. Her guess; his father said something he didn't like.

The skin on his knuckles were peeling and bleeding as he punch into trees, making decent sized dents in them.

Garmadon finally lost all balance and fell on his back. He covered his face and shouted curses and indefinable words. Misako slowly stepped out and Garmadon looked to the side as he heard the crunch of leaves under her wet feet.

"Hey…" he said, voice cracking.

"You're drenched in sweat…" she wiped his face by his hair line a little. He nodded. She lay down next to him in the dirt. "What's wrong?" she took his hand.

He squeezed his eyes shut, "I found… my father was keeping secrets from me…" he hissed through his clenched teeth. "Again…"

Misako was not surprised by this of course. Over the years the father and son and grown farther and farther apart. "What… how bad was it?" she swallowed.

"Oh nothing important…" he scoffed, "Only that I was bitten by a cursed snake that put evil in my blood!" he shouted. He was trying to get up and she pulled him back by his belt. "If you want to take back what you said about loving me last night; I under-"

"Shut up!" she smacked his shoulder. "You think a little snake venom is gonna change my feelings?"

He looked up, "Uh… yea…" he sounded sarcastic. "Why wouldn't you? My brother has a crush on you… you go try and work things out with him… you two could be very happy together…" he started raising his voice again.

"I want you…" she whispered in his ear. "I think I always did…" she kissed him quickly. "I was just afraid to tell you…" they shared another, longer one. "I didn't know why…I just was…"

"Misako!?" Namiko called out. The two opened their eyes and sighed. They should get back, or else Masuta would send out the other three boys to look for them.

Ah temper tantrums... I feel ya Garmadon... I feel ya... I wish I could make dents in trees though... I'm not that strong sadly...

Thank you kindly for reading :) I've been buzzin all day because everyone keeps making me Garmadon or Garmadon/Misako art for my birthday and I'm just fangirling all day... (I'm officially 17! ayayayay...)

See ya around with some possible other updates :)
