Chapter 37: Believe in the Green Ninja
(Mag's POV)
We have one more chance to get the fangblade away from Pythor. "Can I come?" Lloyd asked with his puppy dog eyes. "Lloyd," I said smiling "you remember how protective I was before you were the green ninja?" "Yeah," he said. He was already wearing the suit even though it was a little big on him. "Well, now take that times eighty and that's how protective I am now," I said tussling his hair. "Awh! No fair!" He complained. Its times like these I'm a little glad we didn't grow up together. "You're gonna stay with Ben and dad where it's safe," Ally said. "But I should be with you fighting guys!" Lloyd really puts up a fight, but he is a Garmadon after all. "Look kid, you're far too important now that you're the green ninja," Cole said. "Ah! The students have become the teachers," Uncle always has a word of wisdom now doesn't he. "See yuh when we get back Ben," Molly hugged Ben. "Don't worry kid; I know you'll be fine. You're a ninja after all." Molly laughed as she went to Lloyd blushing a bit. "See you s-soon Lloyd," she said. And to Molly's surprise Lloyd hugged her. "Please be safe Molly," he said. "And you stay strong green ninja." They laughed and I saw Molly's face turn toward us. Father, the boys, Ben, Crystal, Ally, Nya, and I were grinning at them. They both started to blush bright red and pulled apart nervously. "Lloyd and Molly sitting in a tree! K- I- S- S- I- N- OW!" Both Lloyd and Molly smacked Jay in the back of the head. "It's starting to bruise," he whined. "Stay cool little bro," Ally said. "Be a good boy Lloyd," Crystal said kissing Lloyd's forehead. "And take GOOD care of him father," I said turning to face him "or I'll change on you." He chuckled and smiled at me, "I'd give my life for him." I smiled back and pulled out my staff. "Let's make some snake skin boots people," I said leading the girls.

And we're in a cage. Just freakin great! And I want my axe back! They took our weapons! "I can't stand it!" I shouted. Cole and Jay are actually playing checkers. Why are boys so stupid? "What's wrong with you all of a sudden?" Jay said. "Well my package was delivered late, I spilled my coffee and, oh yeah… WE'RE IN A FREAKIN CAGE IN THE SERPENTINE'S EVIL HQ!" They starred at my outburst. "We'll find a way out, but getting mad won't help," Cole said. Then Mag stood up from her seat on the cage floor and held up her index finger. "Actually it might!" she said. "What are you… OH NO! No way are you making me change!" I was not going to let her convince me it was a good idea. "What do you mean change?" Kai asked. "When any of us get angry," Mag gestured toward me and Crystal "really angry, we change in both appearance and power. We gain all the powers of our father and the strength of three dragons. Our eyes turn blood red, our hair's roots turn black, and we grow fangs." "Yeah, and the power is way too risky and unpredictable to let out whenever. That's why people don't mess with us," I said trying to debunk her plan. "If that really is how much power you have then let's get out of here," Cole said to all three of us. "No," Uncle said "the power is their father's evil power. It could easily lose control and destroy more than the serpentine or cage." Thank you Uncle. "Then now what?" Nya asks. "I think we can get out without our weapons or powers," Kai said taking Jay's hair gel that they used as a checkers piece. "Hey, my hair gel was about to be king," Jay complained. "Sorry Jay," Kai said "but I need it more." Kai then decided to grease himself up with the gel. Not hugging him anytime soon. "Wo! Grease ball! How 'bout warning us before you do that next time," Cole said. I assumed he was smiling but I couldn't be sure; we all had our hoods down and Nya had her helmet. "Laugh all you want, but I don't think we need our special powers to get out of here. Just a little engineering," Kai slipped through the bars and started to swing above the slither pit. He better move fast and quick. Wait a minute, I think they've seen. CRAP TO INFINITY!
(Crystal's POV)
"Thanks Kai," Mag said sarcastically "we're in such a better position than we were before!" Each of us had one hand chained to the cage. Now I don't like to think mean things but, PYTHOR IS F*****G WITH THE WRONG GIRL! Oh my! "And I was gonna be king Kai," Jay complained. "Jay stop complaining!" I said. All eyes turned to me. "If we think then we can find a way out," I said. "She is right," Zane agrees with me "we have come this far. We can go farther." I closed my eyes and tried to think. "Guys!" I heard Lloyd's voice which caused my eyes to snap open. "Lloyd?" Nya said. We looked up and saw Zane's falcon. "Lloyd what are you doing? Where's dad?" Ally asked. "He's uh… gone. I caught him trying to steal secrets from the database." "I told you so…" "SHUT UP KAI!" the three of us yelled in unison. "Lloyd, get Ben and get help!" Cole shouted. "No I can help!" "Lloyd don't argue! You're too important to lose!" I shouted. "Don't worry guys! Green ninja to the rescue!" "LLOYD!" we all shouted in unison. "I guess we don't have a choice," Nya said. "We have to believe in Lloyd," I said.
