"Dad..." Cole started off. Taking a deep gulp. "Whatever you do don't let go of that for a second ok?"

"It was your mothers, why would I get rid of it?" Lou asked defensibly.

"You wouldn't. Because Beverly asked you to take care of something very special and rare. But Yeah...Please don't drop it" Bree told him.

"What is it...? I could hear so so many people screaming. It was the worst thing I have ever heard in my life." Harumi said.

Lloyd and some of the other Ninja had made their way down into the catacombs. The pendant swung wildly towards Lloyd. But then swung back and aimed at Harumi, Bree and Alanna. Bree quickly handing Alanna back to Wu and then stepping in front of her.

"What the fuck is that?" Morro asked as well.

"Again. I concur. What the hell is that?" Lloyd asked.

"I think... and I am not totally sure. But I think it is a soul stone. From Dinjago." Bree said cautiously.

"Why does my dad have it then?" Cole asked.

"I would assume that Rowena gave it to Beverly for safekeeping. Knowing that myself and Alanna can't touch it with out some serious consequences" Bree told him. "Beverly in turn gave it to Lou so Cole would never accidentally touch it and give it to me without knowing what it was first."

Lou wrapped his hand a little tighter in the chain. Only to watch and feel the pendant pull a little harder to the others.

"Wu... Could you take Alanna back upstairs. I don't know why, but I really don't want it touching her" Bree asked.

Wu looked like he wanted to say he didnt want Bree to touch it either. But grumbled and headed back up the path and to the steps. The stone in the pendant pulled a little to Alanna. But then swung back to Bree and Harumi. Cocking her head Bree motioned for Harumi to step back and then for Morro to stay between Rumi and the stone. Lloyd rolled his eyes at him trying to look so brave and protective.

The pendant swung from one direction to the other back and forth several times. As if it was thinking. Then settled on pulling hard in in Harumi's direction and glowed a little before calming and swinging still.

"Oh damit" Bree hissed.

"What's that mean?" Cole and Morro asked at the same time. Well Morro added in a few colorful curse words at the end. But the intent of the question was the same.

"Soul stones make up the main component of Djin weapons. They were rare generations ago. I don't even think a new blade of any type was forged in my parents or grandparents lifetimes. But they can, in time and use, become slightly sentient. And this one is way way sentient." Bree said in horrified awe.

"A Djin sword can also kill and trap souls for all eternity" Jay said with total hatred in his voice.

Bree looked up at him in confusion.

"They are suppose to be able to store and pass knowledge from one Djin king to the next. Ive never see them used to kill people" Bree said.

"Yea well, its a funny story. Nya and I met a Djin that was a total douche that nearly trapped and killed us all with one" Jay snapped at her.

"Don't snap at me. I haven't been home in years. And my cousin was always kind of a dick when we were kids. I don't even know if Rumi remembers Nadi" Bree said in exasperation.

"What's the point in this anyways. Why does my dad have it to begin with" Cole asked.

"I really don't know Cole. And what worries me most was the screaming the three of us could hear. With what Jay said about people being trapped and killed... I worry that stone might... I don't know. I think I need to try and read and research before I say anything else." Bree answered him.

"What the hell are we suppose to do with it in the mean time?" Harumi asked in disgust. She had the vaguest idea of what might have caused the screaming they heard. And she didn't want to touch the stone any more than Bree did.

"Honestly if this is just more Magic, ninja weird crap I want no part of this. If it was never Beverly's in the first place why did she give it to me?" Lou asked in disgust.

"Because she loved and trusted you to do the right thing?" Bree asked in a condescending tone. She knew Cole and his dad didn't get along. She knew about the whole school thing. And Cole running away and being homeless for years. She did not approve. Children should be loved and cared for no matter their life choices or abilities.

"Can you just... hold onto it for a little dad? Until we figure out what it means and what to do with it?" Cole gritted out. Bree didn't think he liked the idea of asking his dad for anything.

Lou shrugged indignantly. Turning to head up the stairs like the others. As soon as he got astep or two away he jerked back. The stone and pendant were no longer moving with him. And his own momentum carried him forward off his feet. Slipping and hitting the stone floor Lou dropped the pendant and it hit the floor with a flash of light again. Bree and Harumi hitting the floor screaming with their hands over their ears. It was much much worse up close. And Harumi looked like she was getting the brunt of it over Bree. Harumi could no longer even form words between her screeching.

"Get it off the floor!" Bree managed to scream out.

At her words the pendant started to slither across the floor... like a snake back and forth. Cole scooped Bree up and kicked earth at it. Once it couldn't reach her it went for Harumi next. Morro grabbing her and blasting it back with several guts of wind. Lloyd snatched it quickly. And the pendant took on a mind of its own. Wanting to pull out of his grasp. His fist closing tightly on it. His eyes lighting up green with the power it took. The stone then seemed to... submit to his grasp and settled down.

Everyone breathing raggedly and looking to one and other.

"Good fucking riddance" Lou exclaimed.

"Quick question... Do you feel any different with out holding it?" Bree asked.

"I don't know. But I am just..." Lou didn't know how to explain it. He held it close for so long because his wife gave it to him. And yet knowing it wasn't even truly hers. But only given to him for its own protection. He didn't know how to feel about it.

"Lloyd can you move around and hold onto it? And whatever you do, don't let it touch Alanna or Harumi" Bree asked him second.

With cautious effort Lloyd closed his fist over the pendant and took one step, then another. With Lloyds elemental powers it looked like he was able to control it. Everyone seemed to breath a sigh of relief.

"Can you take it upstairs. I think the magic down here is only amplifying whatever it is doing" Bree asked.

With that everyone save Bree and Cole headed upstairs again. Harumi and Morro putting as much room between her and the stone as they could get before heading out after Lloyd. Bree watched and waited until they were out of sight turning to Hana in her teal ghost like form.

"Is that as bad as I think it is? And I am correct. I shouldn't let any of us touch it... Or its going to take us for a ride?" She asked.

"I am not sure, but there are some people I am going to go ask when we get back to... where we go" Hana replied. With that her teal light fading and leaving just Cole, Bree and Elias.

"I'm sorry Cole. About your dad. If I was still alive. Well lets just say you would have had a very different upbringing" Elias said kindly. His teal light going out as well.

"Bree, when you said ride?" Cole hesitated.

"Yes. I am afraid that stone will either pull us in, or take whomever had any Djin blood to where ever the screaming voices are coming from." Bree said without hesitation.

Cole wrapped his arms around Bree. Both freaked out and on the edge of panic. They had just gotten each other back. And had their tiny family together. There was nothing in Ninjago or beyond that Cole would let take Bree or Alanna from him. Even if he had to smash that rock to dust himself.
