So all together again. Everyone's pissed. Kappa trying to kill everyone. Good times are not had by all. Thanks for reading you guys.

Bree watched the argument playing out. The blond man was screaming at this point. The old man Bree remembered from before stepped in. Bree turned to face the man holding her captive. She had to crane her neck to see his face.

"Let go of me now!" She growled. This caught his attention at least and he stopped watching the drama. "Are you as dumb as you look? Let go of me" Bree demanded.

"Hold on a second, I just saved your life" Cole said and was cut off by Bree. She had enough and let loose some purple blue magic to try and push him away from her. It did absolutely nothing to push him away. In fact it didn't seem to affect him in the least bit until his arms started to glow a rich orange. Bree recoiled and wrenched herself back a few inches. Pulling out some strands of her hair in the process. She tried throwing up a shield and then when that did nothing to him she tried pulling him up and back like she did with the other men today. Nothing was working. Bree didn't know if her elemental powers were failing or if this beast of a man was immune. Nor did she care to find out. Fighting like an ally cat she clawed at him and when it only served to make the orange glow of his arms spread she lurched forward and bit him. That at least caused him a little shock and he dropped his arms. Then Bree used enough magic to push herself away from him. Knocking herself into the wood of the upper deck and crunching bits of it. Bree could hear garbled yelled and could hear Alanna screaming again.

"Are you friggin nuts?" he asked in bewilderment.

"I said let you of me you ass. Let go means don't touch me. Or are you too daft and illiterate to understand speech? Bree screeched.

The blond man, Lloyd as Morro refereed to him snapped at Bree "and your just as bad". Bree hadn't paid attention to the rest of the conversation to know what he was talking about. Seeing an open space Bree popped herself in front of her little family. Holding out her arms and hands she pulled up a strong shield again. It was wearing on her. She never needed to use this much magic at a time and it hurt. However it was the first time Lloyd had ever seen someone use Djin magic to move from spot to spot and it gave him momentary pause.

"Lloyd and Cole stop this at once!" The old man shouted. The tall one, Cole apparently listened. Lloyd required the old man to grab Lloyd's uninjured arm. Earning the old man silence, if not obedience. Turning directly to the group behind the shield the old man introduced himself.

"My Name is Sensi Wu, Now if everyone could just take a moment and calm down we can ask you some questions" Gesturing to Harumi and Bree. Morro had stepped forward closer to the edge of the shield. He was going to respond to Wu when another person stepped out from the upper cabin. And briskly strided to stand beside Wu.

"Lloyd how could you? Harm your own child and its mother" Garmadon growled.

"That is not mine" Lloyd responded immediately. "I had nothing to do with it". Referring to the baby Harumi held.

"Lloyd, your girlfriend is holding a baby. Do you really think I'm that old I can't put two and two together" Garmadon said rolling his eyes.

"Oh hell no" Harumi interjected loudly. "Not Lloyds baby, not even my baby. Never happened, never going to happen and most defiantly not his girlfriend" Harumi spat at Lloyd.

Garmadon has stepped forward again and started to raise a hand gently to Harumi while she spoke. Only to be slapped back hard by Brees magic. Slamming him into the mast. Bree was looking at Garmadon in abject horror.

"My daughter you freaks" She snarled. "My family and I can leave with the fruit cake we picked up and we never bother you again" gesturing with her head back to Harumi and Morro. Morro rolling his eyes and shrugging.

"My dear" Sensi Wu started off gently.

"She belongs in jail, he belongs in jail, You probably belong in jail" Lloyd interrupted him.

Bree had enough and flipped the shield backwards like she had at the monastery. Enveloping Lloyd, Wu and a now pissed off looking Garmadon. Turning to Harumi and Morro she asked "for the love of Caladonia what have you two done in this freaking realm, this jerk wants to kill you both". Neither answered, but looked quickly back and forth at each other. "What the hell!" Bree yelled. Raising her voice so loudly so closely made Alanna cry again. Instantly the sound of the cry distracted Bree. She didn't let the men out of her grasp magically until she was tackled by Cole. Chaos erupted as the hit caused a tired Bree to fall the ground hard with Cole on top of her. She dropped the shield as Cole pinned her to the ground.

Lloyd lurched foreword only to be blasted back by a gust of wind. Llyod pulled up a ball of green energy and smashed back at Morro with it. Wu and Garmadon had tried to grab hold of Harumi and the baby as much as to stop her as to protect her from Lloyd. Harumi feeling backed into a corner popped out of site and popped back in a few feet away. Months and months of Bree's training and Harumi could barely start to use Djin magic. It was her very first try and it startled her and Garmadon. Harumi looked like she was going to keep popping out of reach when Zane snatched her arms dragging them behind her back. Before Alanna hit the ground Pixal scooped her up. Being nearly dropped and now snagged by a stranger Alanna cried for her mother again. Zane and Pixal had been quietly watching the drama unfold from the helm and jumped in to help.

Bree couldn't break way from Coles grip. She tried to knock him away with magic and once again she was unsuccessful. She looked at him in fear and panic. She had never felt more useless then now when her power's just wouldn't work. Wu and Garmadon had managed to each snag one of the young men still fighting. Huffing and growling the brothers looked at each other in annoyance and then drug each young man to a mast. Latching them with a vengestone cuff directly to it. Zane half drug half carried a kicking and screaming Harumi to the mast and cuffed her beside a belligerent Morro.

"Please just give me my daughter" Bree bawled at this point. Cole looked up to Wu for direction. Wu nodded to both Cole and Pixal. Then to Lloyds protest Cole let Bree up again and she snatched her daughter from Pixal. Grimacing at the touch of Pixals smooth metal skin. She had never seen let alone touched a nindroid. Bree and Harumi locked eyes. Neither said a word, but Harumi nodding her head yes and Bree no. Bree backed several steps and had tears running down her face. Her hair disheveled Bree considered the option she knew Harumi was suggesting. Trying to realm jump with just little Alanna and getting the hell out of here. Backing up further she pulled her magic up and envisioned the woods from before. Only for it to be abruptly cut off. Cole wrapped his arms around Bree and Alanna from behind her and her magic fizzled out with a squeak.

"Whatever you do don't let go of her Cole" Sensi Wu instructed him.

"Why not chain her with the rest of them? Cole asked unsteadily. Not particularly wanting to hold the pissed off women who had already bit him today and the crying baby.

Wu sighed and then slowly answered "Because vengestone doesn't work on the elemental master of magic".

Loud abrupt laughter caused them all to look up. Garmadon was doubled over nearly in tears himself. It was unnerving for most of the group to see him laugh. Wu looked at his brother in annoyance.

"If that's the master of magic" Garmadon got out between laughs "Then that's Rowena's daughter" Garmadon blurted to Wu. Looking to him for confirmation it seemed. Between howls of laughter.

"Zane please take the bounty back to the temple" Wu said briskly. He did not want to further entertain his brother. Wu's avoidance of the question only served to make Garmadon laugh louder.

Between snorts and laughes Garmadon said "if that's Rowena daughter, then that makes her your daughter too" slapping his brother on the back.

"Shut up Garmadon" Wu snapped in annoyance. Brushing his brother off.

The young people on board looked back and forth between the two brothers and Bree. Some shocked, some annoyed, one angry.

"No fucking way is that slag related to me" Lloyd spat from his place at the top mast.

"Lloyd!" Wu snapped at him, Wu looked at him in anger for speaking in such a way. It didn't change the look of hostility on Lloyds face.

"I concur, well not with the slag part. I have never seen this man before in my life and at any rate my mother told me my father died before I was born. So not you" Bree said pointedly to Wu.

"I am certainly not dead my dear" Wu answered her.

"Not your dear, not your daughter not your anything" Bree bristled. Wu looked slightly hurt at her words.

"Zane get us back to the dam temple" Wu walked off to the helm of the ship without another word. Garmadon following giggling. It was really uncomfortable for Cole, Zane and Lloyd to hear that. With a blast Zane put the bounty into a higher gear with the throw of a lever. Cole still held Bree in his arms and stood awkwardly. Most of the young adults looking back and forth with a what freaking now face.

With a gentler sigh Bree jiggled the squirming baby in her arms. Alanna now had fist fulls of Bree's hair. She certainly did not enjoy her day so far. Bree turned slightly in Cole's arms to ask him "Do you think you could loosen your grip a little...please?"

"No friggin way sweetheart" Cole responded with a laugh. Not a pleasant one at that.

"Didn't hurt to try" Bree responded. At the very least she had a hold of Alanna. She could figure a way out of this for them Bree mused. Relaxing slightly in Cole's arms she nuzzled the baby's head and tried to calm her.

Cole looked down at Bree and then the baby in her arms. Picking them up with a slight surprised squeak from Bree he sat down on the deck leaning back against the railing. Sitting them on his lap he leaned his head back against it in a huff. This better not be a long ride Cole thought. It started out getting to save a beautiful girl and turned into a chaotic crap fest. They hadn't even been looking for them specifically. They were headed south to look for Bo, after they picked up the disgruntled group at the monastery. Then they saw the green monsters chasing people down below. With Morro and Harumi's change of clothing and hair they would have passed right by them otherwise. Cole chuckled to himself thinking how Lloyd had so nicely lent a hand to help them before he took a good look at the faces of the people they pulled up.

Bree was surprised by his sudden movement. But didn't argue and then held the baby closer to her chest. Rocking her slightly and humming something. The humming caused Cole to open his eyes briefly before he tilted his head over to look at Lloyd. Lloyd looked back at him in disgust and Cole shrugged. It was going to be a long ride.
