A.N: Hey guys, I had time to post another chapter yay! Now the end of this chapter is kind of a cliffhanger but hey, it's a good one this time. :)
The gang searched high and low for the descendants. Because of their powers, the Ninja were able to ride their elemental dragons.
Lloyd contacted the other ninja on his video watch. "Any luck finding them?" He asked, "No, you?" Kai asked, "No, but I'll keep looking." Lloyd said.
Eve along with Camille and Tox were riding in a jungle car going through the desert. Camille was driving and Tox was sitting shotgun. Eve was sitting in the back thinking about what she did when she yelled at Lloyd. She felt horrible! Lloyd's her friend, he was only trying to do the right thing. "Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at him like that." She thought, "I mean, he may be right. Who knows? Luke could've once been a Chen follower turned good. Or he may still be evil. I don't know. I just don't know..."
Eve suddenly felt the jungle car stop. She looked at Camille who turned to look at her and she said, "This is it..." They got out of the jungle car and entered the Anacondrai tomb. It was dark and scary and there were cobwebs and spiders everywhere. They looked around for the Paleman but they could not see him. "Isn't it going to be hard to find him?" Camille asked, "Remember, he can become invisible." "No Neuro said that all of the captives are totally powerless." Eve responded, They continued to search the entire room and Eve then suddenly ran into something hard. She touched it with her hand, she could feel it, but she couldn't see it.
"Of course." Eve said annoyed, she called to the other two girls, "Girls! Girls come here I think I found him!" She called, Camille and Tox ran over to Eve and Tox said, "Where? I don't see him." Camille put out her hand out and felt the invisible object, "Oh, right. I get it, the box is invisible."
"Do you think you can get it open?" Eve asked, "Yeah, I think so." Camille said, she then transformed into the form of a key. She fell into Eve's hand and Eve used her to open the lock. The box opened up and there was the Paleman, tied up just like last time.
Camille and Tox ran in and untied him, "You okay there man?" Camille asked, "That was the second time I have been tied up and gagged! Do you think I'm okay?!" The Paleman yelled, Eve helped him up, "Don't worry, we'll get you out." She said, They went with him out of the tomb and they climbed back into the jungle car and drove off.
Lloyd continued to fly on his elemental dragon through the air. Then he saw the mountain of a million steps. He sure had a lot of memories of that place. Like the time when they tried to get the fang blades back from Pythor and then his dad came in with his skeleton army. Good times. Good times.
He then heard a cry for help. It was coming from inside the mountain. He landed at the top of the mountain and then went through the small crater and entered the constricti tomb. It was empty he looked around the tomb, nothing. He heard the cry for help again. It was on the other side of the wall. "Of course! The serpentine headquarters!" Lloyd said out loud to himself, he walked over to the wall with the numerous drawings that the serpentine drew many years ago and the ones they drew recently. He skimmed his hand across the wall trying to find the way in.
"Where is that switch?" Lloyd asked himself, then his hand touched a certain part of the wall and the way opened. He went down the large staircase and saw Griffin Turner, the master of speed locked up in a swinging cage.
"Lloyd!" Griffin said astonished, "Don't worry, I'm here to save you." Lloyd said, "Thanks Chosen one." Griffin said, Lloyd made a long jump and landed on top of the cage. "You can thank me later." Lloyd said, He struggled with the lock until he finally decided to try his golden power. He shot at the lock but it reflected off the lock and struck him straight in the face. The force of the impact threw him back a bit and he rubbed his head groaning. "I don't understand...Why didn't it work?" He said, "Hello? It's because its element proof!" Griffin said, "Chen didn't want us to be locked up that easily. You need to find a way to unlock the lock and free me."
"Seriously?" Lloyd said annoyed, He then found a loose nail in the wall nearby. He grabbed it and began to use it to pick the lock.
"This is just great!" Lloyd said sarcastically, "Eve's mad at me and now my powers are useless!" "Eve? That hot blonde chick?" Griffin said, "Yeah, well, you're right about the blonde part I wouldn't say she's 'hot.'" Lloyd said still picking the lock, "Are you kidding me?" Griffin said, "Have you not seen her? She's gorgeous!" He exaggerated, "Yeah sure, she's attractive." Lloyd said, "So, what did you do to make her mad?" Griffin asked, "Well, Her boyfriend came over today and proposed to her…And I told her that she can't marry him because I think he's evil." Lloyd explained, The nail wasn't working so he decided to try to make a make shift key out of scraps of metal lying around.
"Evil how?" Griffin asked, "Like, I saw Chen's tattoo on his back. That's one thing." Lloyd responded, "Dude, she should be free to make her own decisions." Griffin said, "It doesn't matter what you think or what you saw, All that matters is that if her decision will make her happy." "You know what? You're right. I guess I let my overprotective personality get the best of me." Lloyd said, He tried the makeshift key on the lock and it unlocked and the cage door opened. They exited the tomb and climbed back up through the hole and were now at the top of the mountain.
"How am I going to get back?" Griffin asked, "I'm powerless, I can't activate my dragon." Lloyd activated his elemental dragon and the dragon hovered above the ground with it's wings flapping.
"Hop on." Lloyd said, Griffin hopped on the dragon and they took off.
Kai and Cole arrived at the Fire Temple and went inside to get Ash and Shade. When they entered, There they saw ash and shade tied together back to back dangling over a lava pit. The two looked down and saw the ninja. "Ninja!" Ash said, "Please get us out of here!" Shade yelled, Kai used his fire powers to cool the lava. Cole used his earth powers to rise a surface of rock above the lava and formed an earth bridge to the entrance. Kai then shot a fire spark through the rope and the spark cut sheer through it and the two fell onto the flat rock surface and then ran across the earth bridge to get to the entrance. "Thank you ninja." Ash said, "Yeah, thanks." Said Shade with a fake small smile, suddenly the volcano began to shake. "Kai?" Cole said turning to him, "How powerful are those fire sparks exactly?" "Um…." Kai said nervously, Then the ceiling began to collapse. "Run." Kai said in a nervous manner.
The four ran out of the Fire Temple and the entrance collapsed. The four were out of breath and were trying to catch it. "Thank you ninja, we owe you our lives." Shade said, "All...All in a day's work...for a...ninja." Kai said out of breath, Kai then got a call on his video watch. Jay's face came up on the screen.
"Did you get them?" Jay asked, he was in the air Riding his elemental dragon. "Yeah." Kai said, "Good, I got Neuro." Jay said, "I got Shade and Ash." Kai reported, "I helped too." Cole said ticked off, Jay laughed a little. Then Kai's video watch beeped and the screen split in two and Jay was in one half of the screen and Zane was in the other half.
"Did you find them?" Zane asked, Kai and Jay, "Yep." Kai said, "Got 'em." Jay said, "Excellent. Then the mission is complete." Just then Karloff showed up on screen Neuro to Zane. "Hi ninja!" He said waving happily, Zane pushed him out of the view of the screen. "Karloff please." He said, "We have contacted the other groups and we plan to meet at Borg Industries.
"Rodger that." Kai said, He and Cole put their elemental dragons into high gear and took off flying faster than ever.
The five Ninja finally got back to Borg Industries where everyone else was waiting. As soon as the ninja walked in, Eve ran over and hugged them all. "Thank goodness you guys are okay!" She said happily, "Ah Ninja you made it back!" Borg said wheeling over to the gang, "Come descendants, you must tell us everything." He said, Eve and Lloyd looked at each other. They both knew they had to apologize to one another.
The guys were worried they were going to break out into a fight again, so they stepped backs few feet.
"Lloyd." Eve said, "Eve." Lloyd said at the same time as her, "You were-." They said together again, "I was-." They stopped talking, "You first." Eve said, "Look Eve, I'm sorry I was kind of controlling before." Lloyd apologized, "It was wrong of me to make your decisions for you. If Luke makes you happy, then you should be happy."
"No I was wrong." Eve said, "I shouldn't have yelled at you." Eve said, "You were only trying to protect me and I appreciate that." Sensei Wu and Garmadon entered the room. Wu was carrying a book. "Eve, as it turns out Lloyd was right. Luke was a Chen follower and still is one." He explained, "Oh okay Luke is evil." Eve said calmly, then her face immediately switched to worry. "Oh my God Luke is evil! I left Dylan with him!" She yelled, "Quick! Back to the school!" Kai yelled.
The gang wasted no time making it back to the school. They ran down the hall to Dylan's room. Eve banged on the door, "Let us in!" She yelled, then they heard and explosion on the other side of the door and they all shook a little. "I got it." Lloyd said, Lloyd pushed Eve aside and formed one of his power balls and struck the door and it busted apart. They ran into the room to Find a large hole in the wall and Luke was standing there with Skylor in the room and Luke was holding Dylan who looked terrified.
"Ha! We kidnapped you descendants to create a distraction. It was the only way to get you all away from innocent little Dylan here." "You let him go!" Eve yelled, "Sorry Evie but we need him for the hostile takeover!" One of Chen's choppers flew by the large holes in the wall and Luke jumped on the ladder hanging out of it.
"Skylor, take care of them." Luke said, Skylor then had sparks of electricity coming out of her hands. The helicopter flew away with Luke maniacally laughing.
"My baby." Eve said softly, Lloyd put his hand on her shoulder, "Hey, we'll get him back." He told her, Eve just hugged him and cried. "He must be so afraid..." She said, "Uh guys?" Kai said nervously, "Big problem." They then remembered Skylor was there and she was about to put the hurt on them. "Oh god." Eve said intimidated.
Meanwhile, The helicopter landed in front of Morro's cave. Luke jumped off and landed safely on the ground and walked into the lair. "I'm back, and I brought home something special." Luke said, "Ah! You brought home the child!" Chen said happily, Chen took the child and put it in a playpen, "All of the 'elements' in our plan are finally falling into place..." Chen said, "See what I did there?" He asked Morro, "Mental!" Morro insulted, "Hmph! Everyone's a critic." He grumbled to himself, "Anywho, the time is drawing near...the time for our hostile takeover!" He laughed maniacally, "Only a few more elements left, and as sooner they come to the rescue, the sooner we steal their powers and the takeover begins!"
"Who can stop us now?!" He laughed, "Who?!
Nooooooo! Chen and Morro have Dylan and Luke really is evil! Also the ninja have to face Skylor who of course is now possessed an still has everyone else's elements...They're screwed...Will they unpossess Skylor? And will they be able to save Dylan? Stay tuned...
