Chapter 7: The Weakest Link

The Resistance had taken Hutchins into an abandoned room, and tied him to a chair. "Well we got him, now what?" asked Dareth. "Perhaps we could offer a trade, him for our friends?" Harumi suggested.

"Very clever idea, princess. Seems like you are more than just a pretty face." Hutchins sneered. Harumi just glared at him. "Don't listen to him, Rumi." said Lloyd, and he went up to him. "My father won't trade our friends for you, he only cares about power."

"You know, the others have been here before. So it'll be just a matter of time before they find me." Hutchins told them. "He's right." whispered Nya. The door opened, and Skylor and Mistake were standing outside.

"Lloyd you'd better come see this." Mistake told him. "Nya, Harumi watch him." instructed Lloyd, as he and Dareth walked outside with the other two. "We found this in his things." said Skylor, holding the purple Oni Mask of Hatred.

"Wow, that's one of the masks that can give you a strong power." said Dareth. "Perhaps it can be of some use. But be warned, it uses dark magic." Mistake advised. Lloyd held the mask in his hands, and thought about it.

He went back inside with the others, threw the mask at Hutchins. "You're not gonna take it?" he asked. "No, I know your game, Hutchins. You're too smart to let yourself get captured, you wanted me to use the mask, and lure me into some kind of trap." Lloyd replied.

"Very clever, but know this Lord Garmadon is going to win this war." said Hutchins. The Resistance just glared at him.

In the First Realm, the hunters had just come to the border between their territory and the Oni's, and they stopped their vehicles. "What's the hold up?" asked Iron Baron. "According to my tracker, they went into the Oni territory, and you've told us never to cross the border." Jet Jack explained.

"But obviously they did." said Iron Baron. "We don't care how many Oni we come across, we'll go, but only if you give the command." Jet Jack told him. Iron Baron looked at the dragon skulls on the pikes.

"No one betrays Iron Baron. We're crossing." he announced. The hunters cheered, and drove on.

A good ways away from the border, the Ninja, Faith, and Teen Wu were just waking up. Faith put out their fire, and got everyone up. "Come, it's morning now, and we have to go." she said. She then yanked the makeshift blankets off them.

"Hey wait, what about breakfast?" asked Jay. "We'll eat after we get the armor. We're almost to Firstbourne's nest. Then we can get to Ninjago." Faith told them. "(Sighs) I can't wait to get back home, and sleep in a nice soft bed with a pillow and blanket." said Kai.

"And to see Nya, and eat real food." agreed Jay. "And I want to see Pixal, and be back with real technology." said Zane. "And I'd like a piece of cake, I can't believe I gave it up." Said Cole.

"You said you were on a diet." Said Jay. "What's cake?" Asked Faith. "The perfect food. Warm, moist, and covered in sweet frosting." Cole explained. "I know you're all excited, but are you ready to face what's ahead of us?" asked Faith.

"Since Firstbourne can't be reunited with the First Spinjitzu Master, wouldn't meeting his son be a good thing?" asked Zane. "A regular dragon is bad enough, but gaining the trust of Firstbourne is something entirely different." Faith explained.

"Our chain guns are our only way of defense. You need to be able to use them." She then handed one to Kai. "Do you think you can chain up that rock?" "Pfft, no problem." Kai said cocky. He aimed the weapon, but when the chain shot out, it propelled him back, and the chain wrapped around Cole.

"Well at least I got something." he said. "(Sighs), you're gonna need some practice." said Faith. The four began practicing on the rock. Zane got it on the first try, but it took the others a few tries before getting it.

"You need to practice too. A person is only as strong as the weakest link." Faith told Teen Wu, handing him a chain gun. "Try it, Master." encouraged Cole. Teen Wu tried, but the chain barely popped out, causing the others to snicker.

"We keep trying." said Faith. Teen Wu tried a couple times more, but he still couldn't get it like the chain wrapped around the rock like the others. Finally he got frustrated, threw the chain gun on the ground, and walked away.

"I'll take care of this." Kai told Faith, and he walked after him. Teen Wu sat on the ground, and put his head in his hand. "You know, you need to be confidant." Kai told him. "You mean be cocky like you are?" asked Teen Wu.

"Not cocky, confidant. It's the feeling that you can do anything if you believe in yourself, and put your mind to it. Once I didn't think I could be a Ninja, but you pushed my limits so I could see I could be, now I'm pushing your limits." Kai explained.

He then handed him the chain gun. "I know you can do this. But what you think is most important." Teen Wu took the chain gun, and walked back to the rock. He shot it, and wrapped the chain around the rock. The others cheered for him.

Suddenly, they heard a roar from above, and saw the Lightening Dragon. "Now let's see if you can ride." Said Faith. They got in their speeders, and rode after the dragon. The Lightening Dragon tried to fly away.

"It can sense your Oni blood, I'll keep it low, while you try to chain it down." said Faith, as she drove out in front of them. Zane managed to get a chain around it, but the dragon used its' powers to electrocute him.

Faith instructed them to go for the wings and stay away from the jaws. They did, and they managed to chain it to keep it from getting away. "We got it, go Wu." said Cole. Teen Wu carefully got out of the speeder, then carefully climbed up the chains.

It was difficult, but he managed to get onto the dragon's back. "I did it!" he cheered. And the others cheered for him. But the Lightening Dragon shook off the chains, and Teen Wu fell off and landed on one of the speeders.

"You might just be ready to face the mother of the dragons." said Faith.

Back in Ninjago, the Resistance had changed back into their regular clothes. Lloyd was at the top of the building staring at his father's tower. "Are you all right, Lloyd?" asked Harumi. She and the others had come up behind him.

"I've been thinking about what Hutchins said, on how my father's gonna win this." Lloyd told them. "He's just saying that to make you afraid." said Nya. "I know, and I'm not gonna let it get to me. Mistake you said I had to make another transformation to face my father, well I'm ready now."

"And what change are you ready for?" asked Dareth. "I'm ready to accept the fact I may have to live the rest of my life without my powers." "But Lloyd..." Harumi said worriedly. "It's okay. We don't ever lose real power, we only given away when we think we don't have it."

Mistake smiled. "Wise words, young Lloyd." "But Lloyd, we can't go after your dad now. He's got that Colossus, and it's too powerful to face." Nya reminded. "We're not going to run from it, we're gonna take control of it." said Lloyd.

"But how, Garmadon controls it with his elemental power?" wondered Dareth. "I can absorb his elemental power." Skylor figured out. "Exactly." said Lloyd. "But I can only borrow his power if I touch him." She pointed out.

"How's she supposed to do that without giving away our plan?" asked Harumi. "She'll be captured by Hutchins." Lloyd answered referring to Mistake. "Ah ha." said Mistake, knowingly. Dareth was confused for a moment, but then he understood.

"Garmadon won't know what hit him." said Nya.

Back inside the building, Hutchins was still tied up, and the others came back inside. "Oh, Hutchins, I'd like for you to meet...Hutchins." introduced Lloyd, as Mistake now transformed into Hutchins came through the door.

"You think you can be me? This is low." Hutchins told her. "You think you can be me? This is low." Mistake said in her own voice. "Um, is there any way you could change your voice?" asked Harumi.

"Oh, you mean like this?" asked Mistake, as her voice changed into Hutchins'. "Perfect." said Nya. "You won't get away with this, you won't." Hutchins protested. But Nya came up to him, and tied a piece of cloth around his mouth.

"It's time for you to shut your mouth, Eye." she told him. "Remember once Skylor touches my dad, get out of there." said Lloyd. Mistake tied Skylor up, and then they left and left the building.

While all that was happening in Ninjago, in the First Realm the Ninja, Teen Wu, and Faith were making their way to Firstbourne's nest. "According to the map the nest is behind this mountain." said Faith.

Suddenly they heard the sound of engines, and saw the other hunters coming after them. "They followed us, we've gotta go." she said. Everyone jumped in their speeders and drove off as fast as they could.

"Bring me the heads of the Ninja, but I want Heavy Metal alive." Iron Baron ordered his hunters. "We can lose them in the mountain." said Teen Wu. "Good idea." said Jay, as they all flew into an opening, but the hunters came after them.

They all zig zagged through the rocks, stalactites and stalagmites. Jet Jack activated her metal wings, and flew up to them. "End of the line, Heavy Metal." she said, but she was shocked to see Faith.

"You're a woman?" she asked surprised. "Yes, like you only better." Faith said, as she used her speeder to ram her. Jet Jack flew back to Iron Baron's vehicle. "You allow women to be your next in command? Why didn't you choose me?"

"Well since I'll be needing a new second in command, how about this, whoever brings me Heavy Metal gets the job." said Iron Baron. When the others heard about Iron Baron's reward, they all raced after the targets.

As they raced through the cave, Iron Baron's vehicle got close to Faith's speeder, and he jumped onto the front of it. He knocked Teen Wu off, but he managed to hang onto the side. Then he took Faith's Dragon Blade.

"Who's got the Blade now, Heavy Metal?" he asked. "My name is Faith!" she shouted at him. They began fighting in that tiny space, and then Faith climbed out of the seat, put the speeder in full speed, grabbed Teen Wu.

"Be ready to jump, son of the First Spinjitzu Master." she told him. "He's the son of the First Spinjitzu Master?" asked Iron Baron. They then jumped off the speeder, and onto Kai's speeder. Iron Baron managed to make it off too, before the speeder crashed into a rock.

Soon they all drove out of the mountain, and Iron Baron jumped onto a helicopter. "New plan, get the boy with the white hair." he told one of his hunters. "We're not going to be able to loose them." said Faith.

"What do we do?" asked Jay. "We've got to slow down the Dieselnaut." she explained. "How about we take it for ourselves?" suggested Cole. They let the large vehicle get between them, then used their chain guns to make a little bridge.

"It's just like the dragon." Faith told Teen Wu. "And have confidence." added Kai. Teen Wu understood, and walked on the chain to the Dieselnaut. Once on their he managed to knock off Daddy No Legs and Muzzle, and was about to fight another hunter, but Kai chained him up, and got him off.

Once Teen Wu was in control, the others climbed onto it. Cole then used the cannon at the top to shoot part of the helicopter. As they cheered, they felt something. Some hunters had grabbed the back of the vehicle with their chain guns.

Faith hurried to the back, and tried to knock them off, only to be caught by Jet Jack's chain gun. "Faith!" yelled Teen Wu. "Go, you need to get the Dragon Armor." she told him. "But we need you." "Go, the armor's more important." said Faith.

And then she was dragged away by the hunters.

In Ninjago Dareth was watching Hutchins. However his idea of watching was listening to music. Hutchins managed to get the cloth out of his mouth. "Hey you, pathetic ninja listen to me." he said. He then used his body to turn his chair around.

"Hey, how'd you get your gag out?" asked Dareth. He was about to put it back when Hutchins spoke. "Listen, I can get you that power that you want so bad." "Nice try, but I'm not drinking anymore potions." said Dareth.

"No potion necessary. Emperor Garmadon can just give it to you. Any power you want can be yours." "Really, then I'll ask for the power to stuff it. Because you're not leaving." said Dareth, as he tried to put the gag back in.

But Hutchins slammed the chair leg on Dareth's foot, causing him to yell in pain. "Lloyd, Harumi help me!" he shouted. Lloyd and Harumi hurried inside, and saw Dareth tied up in the chair that Hutchins was in.

"Dareth, where'd he go?" asked Harumi. Dareth cringed.

Meanwhile, Mistake disguised as Hutchins and Skylor made their way up to Lord Garmadon's building. "There you are, Hutchins. We were wondering what happened to you." said Killow. "I couldn't find the Green Ninja, but I got something close." said Mistake.

Up at the top, the two along with Ultraviolet stood before Lord Garmadon. "My Lord, I've brought you Skylor, a current Elemental Master." said Mistake. "Hmm, perhaps she can be of use." said Lord Garmadon, walking towards her.

"Do what you want with me, but the Resistance never quits." said Skylor. "Watch it, sir. She has the power to absorb power." Ultraviolet warned. "He knows that, Ultraviolet." Mistake told her. "It is suspicious you didn't tell me that, my son." Lord Garmadon observed.

"Sir, I've been nothing if not helpful. Doubting is..." Mistake said. "Is what?" asked a voice. Everyone turned to see Killow and Hutchins.
