A/N: Hello! Time for Lloyd to be an idiot. Gotta love him sometimes. But seriously, he was told not to multiple times…

By the way, my puppy found her Christmas present and took it outside. And now she's pouting cause we took it away from her and hid it…again.

Chapter Nine: Nope never mind, just took a short break…

I snorted as Jay and Cole sang loudly, while Nya sipped at a cup of hot cocoa. Zane was doing his weird humor switch dance that made no sense and honestly was not funny. Not that we were going to tell him that…

"Guys! We've got breaking news!" Dareth stumbled into the room suddenly, interrupting the karaoke season.

If I didn't know better, I would have thought someone asked him to do that. Lloyd, who was sitting in a corner pouting, hurried over to him. "Dareth? What's wrong?"

Dareth gulped for air, before turning on the news to where Gayle Gossip was reporting live. "Soo, yeah Lord Garmadon came back from the dead and broke Princess Harumi, whom has been confirmed is the Sons of Garmadon leader, the Quiet One, out of jail. Where they are at right now is a complete mystery."

"Ok…so that's bad. All in favor of going to the police station to find out what exactly happened say aye." I drily announced even as we all ran out the door. Duty was calling us…again. We really needed to catch a break one of these days.

….

"Soo, what I'm hearing is that Garmadon is back and he's nothing like what we remembered?" Cole slowly inched his eyebrow upwards, disbelief flooding him as he looked at the Police Commissioner.

The Police Commissioner nodded his head frequently, anxiety flooding his eyes. "He can't be reasoned with this time around. We're way over our heads with this one!"

We glanced at each other, before rubbing our foreheads. Looks like we need to regroup and hash out a plan…and figure out where they are at. "This just in. There has been a break in at the Kryptarium Prison. You heard me correctly, there has been a break in at our most secured prison. The prisoners, most notably the ones from the Sons of Garmadon have taken control of the prison."

"Uh…found them." I blinked as we glanced over at the TV, where Gayle Gossip was standing in front of Kryptarium Prison.

Jay grinned as he bounced slightly. "Sweet…we get to go there again! Who do you think is gonna try exact revenge this time?"

Zane blinked slowly, even as Lloyd reached over and whacked Jay in the back of the head. "Try the Sons of Garmadon since they are behind this."

Nya frowned as she glances over at Lloyd. "We need to make a very thorough plan this time around. I have a bad feeling that this is just a trap."

Lloyd frowned at that, confusion flashing briefly across his face. "Whatcha talking about? We go in, I blast Dad. He turns good again. Ninjago is saved. No need for thanks."

I frowned, concerned about his flippant attitude towards this new obstacle. "Kid…she's right. We need to get a different plan. I'm not sure that will work again."

"We best get to the ship and going. We've taken a lot of the polices' time today." Cole suggested as he left the room. We all agreed with him and followed him out.

….

I swung my sword around expertly as I tried to formulate a plan that won't end up with my little brother dead. The door the training room creaked open as Lloyd peeked in. "Hey Kai! Nya has a plan on how to defeat the Sons of Garmadon. We're meeting up in Sensei's tea room." He then left whistling to himself.

I frowned as I followed him, trying to figure out what was going on. If Nya had made a battle plan that would work already, why didn't she contacted me first? And why Sensei's tea room? I mean, I found it a bit suspicious that she would want us to meet up in the one room that locked from the outside. Upon entering the room, I noticed that everyone else was there. Zane and Pixal were talking animatedly to each other, while Jay was watching the doorway with a look of pure interest. Cole was leaning back and counting the many cracks in the ceiling.

"Hey Kai! What's Nya's special plan?" Jay asked as he scooted over to make room for me.

I shook my head at him. "Honestly, I have no idea. This is the first I heard of it."

We didn't have long to wait before Nya arrived. Jay immediately turned to face her. "So what's your plan?"

"My plan? Lloyd told me that Pixal had a plan." Nya stated calmly, confusion crossing her brow as she turned to look at Pixal.

The current samurai x shook her head, as she crossed her arms. "I do not have a plan…Lloyd no!"

The last part of what she said was due to the sudden closed and locked door behind us. Whipping around I punched the door hard. "Kid! Let us out!"

"No! You don't think I can defeat them! I'm gonna prove you wrong!" Lloyd then tore off, leaving us alone.

Frantically, I began digging through my pockets looking for anything that I could use to pick the lock. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Nya doing the same thing. Cole suddenly growled as his entire arm started to glow orange. "We don't have time for you two to pick the lock! Earth punch!" He slammed his fist into the door, causing it to fly off its hinges.

"Or we could just do that…" I blinked slowly as I stared at him.

"Come on!" Zane broke out at a sprint. We quickly followed him, praying we weren't too late.

…

He broke the communicator on the Ninja Nightcrawler. He broke the communicator on the Ninja Nightcrawler!? When I get my hands on that kid…

"Kai! Calm down! We still have time to catch up with him." Nya suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder, worry creasing her brow.

Oops. I must have been broadcasting to her without knowing. I quickly checked my shields, making sure that they were up and tight. "Sorry sis…but he can't just do that!"

Cole cleared his throat loudly, worry dancing in his eyes. "Guys? I think we're too late. Look." He pointed to the TV in the corner of the command center, fear edging in his voice.

Gasps flooded the room upon seeing that what was happening inside the prison was being broadcasted Live…and it was not good. Lord Garmadon in all his glory, all four arms included, was beating Lloyd up as if he were a rag doll.

"Nya! Jay! Get us there, now!" I roared suddenly, startling everyone.

Nya and Jay hurried to the navigation system that apparently Lloyd had locked in place, working on unlocking it. "Come on…come on…hurry."

A sudden eerie silence from the TV, followed by someone cackling evilly. Whipping around, dismay flooded us as we realized we were too late. Lloyd was gone.

Hold on tight Ninjago… we might not come out of this alive.

A/N: Done! Hmm, yeah. That just all happened. And Kai is being pessimistic all of a sudden. Then again, they think Lloyd's dead at the moment. Which is going to lead to a very interesting reveal when they find out he's still alive.

Also, my other story, Do you know who I am!?, updated the other day.
