A/N: Hello! Uh, hold on one second... Different Random (Guest) can you explain what you mean by amino… cause I don't understand at all. Can't think of anything else… umm, this is going to be an interesting chapter. I'll leave it at that. I am actually highly considering having Garmadon being somewhat smart and catching Misako…not entirely sure though. Wait. Is this the one where… ok, Nya gets captured but not turned evil, that's next chapter…at least they find out in the next one.

On to the Story! Disclaimer: I own Nothing! Except for any OC name drops that might happen!

Chapter Eleven: Plan A failed; does anyone have a Plan B?

I watched as Jay used his new found lightning based weapon to shoot coconuts out of the sky. Dr. Julian was fixing Falcon, while Misako was skimming through her scrolls looking for something. Sensei was mediating with Lloyd, while the rest of us were practicing using our powers by blasting coconuts. By the rest of us, I mean everyone minus Nya and I. I still had a concussion that was holding me back, while Nya was working on last minute details on the Power Drill. Sensei suddenly walked up to the others, a scowl on his face. I flinched as I realized he probably didn't like how excited the others were.

"Enough! You will give our position away to the enemy if you continue acting like this!" Sensei yelled as he slammed his staff against the ground.

Abashed, Zane looked to his feet, never one for being scolded by our mentor. "I am sorry Sensei. I had not thought of that."

Cole shifted his feet, embarrassment flushing his face. "Yeah, sorry Sensei. We weren't thinking things through."

Jay nodded enthusiastically, too embarrassed to actually talk out loud. I slowly stood up, silently ordering my head to stop spinning, wanting to join them even as Misako stood up and walked over to them. Misako laid down the scroll in her hand, showing us a picture of some kind of giant clock…and Garmadon's new helmet? "This is the Celestial Clock which counts down to the final battle. It says here that it starts counting down when the Helmet of Shadows is removed from its pedestal. I believe that if we can get it from Garmadon, then we can place it back on the pedestal, which hopefully will stop the countdown. Thus postponing the final battle between my two boys."

Sensei coughed slightly, slightly amused that Misako still referred to her evil husband as her boy. Lloyd shook his head at her, a tiny thankful smile at this potential way to prevent him from having to fight his father. "Thanks Mom. So, umm, do you have a plan on how we can get it from him?"

"Maybe…but you're not going to like it one bit." Misako gave her son an apologetic smile.

I arched my eyebrow, wondering what exactly was she thinking of for this plan of hers.

…

I chewed my bottom lip to prevent myself from telling Misako that I really don't like her plan. Unfortunately, we already were in the camp and protesting any further would lead to all of us being captured…and we really didn't want Misako to actually be tied up. The somewhat loose ropes around her wrists were too much for my liking anyways. Of course, we needed them for appearances with this plan of hers. Just then a Stone Warrior walked up, growling. "What is this?"

Cole stumbled forward, tripping over his Stone Warrior costume. "We found her sneaking around the camp."

Grabbing her roughly, I may have flinched; the Stone Warrior turned his back on us. "I'll take her to Lord Garmadon."

The second he was out of our sight with our alley, we sagged down onto some empty benches. We hadn't been sitting down for long when another Stone Warrior spotted us and began yelling in their native tongue at us about something. Whispering to the others, I stood up quickly. "I think he thinks we're the real deal and need to help with some project."

"Wonderful." My brothers groaned as they stood up also. Then we each quickly made random noises to make it look like we understood what he had said.

A few minutes later we were hauling Dark Matter up o something. It was hard to see what it was because there was a large tarp covering most of it. We were able however to see that it had a large cannon attached to it. Cole shifted his weight, placing the crate he was carrying down. "I hate to know what he is planning with that. Also, why does he want so much mud?"

I sat my crate down, wiping sweat of my brow. "It's not mud. It's Dark Matter. Careful with it, one touch will be all that's needed to turn you pure evil." I added that last part for Jay who was looking a little too interested in the stuff. Jay quickly backed away, suddenly not wanting to be anywhere near it.

It was just about then that one of the Stone Warriors bumped into Cole. Without thinking about what he was doing, Cole punched the Stone Warrior hard, sending him flying over the edge. I glared at Cole even as his helmet fell off, revealing himself to the others. Within seconds, we were battling the Stone Army, trying to look for an easy out, as well as trying to figure out how we were going to get Misako. A minute later the answer to our unasked questions came in the horrifying answer known as my sister. She drove the Power Drill up through the ground, popping it open even as Garmadon came out riding a four armed mech suit. "Get in now! Falcon alerted us that you needed help. Now get in!" We dove inside, Misako appearing as she bolted for the vehicle.

Garmadon also noticed Misako, and the fact she had the Helmet of Shadows. She jumped into the Power Drill, throwing the helmet at Jay who barely caught it. As the doors were closing, Garmadon reached in and yanked Misako out, a cry of alarm escaping her lips. Slamming on the gas pedal, Nya took off like a bullet.

…

Jay giggled like a little kid as he tried the helmet on, trying in his own way to show worry about Misako being captured. "Look at me! This Helmet of Shadows is kinda cool looking."

Cole glanced back at him, a frown on his face as worry creased his brow. "If that thing on your head turns you evil, I will personally throw you out the window."

Jay quickly yanked the helmet off, handing it to me for safe-keeping.

…

"Why did we go aboveground again?" Jay questioned our logic as he flipped away from the destroyed Power Drill.

I grunted as I dodged a blow to my head, which had me pretty sure they knew I was still suffering from a concussion and were taking full advantage of it. Nya knocked two of them down, quickly hurrying over to cover me. I nodded in thanks to her, and immediately regretted it when my head spun like crazy. By the time it stopped spinning, Garmadon had caught up to us in his mech, ready to deliver the final, killing blow to us. I glanced around carefully, making sure to only use my eyes, looking for a way to get all of us away safely. Garmadon raised his mech's arm and very quickly swung it down towards us. I flinched, expecting it to slam into my still aching head; only that never happened. Instead of feeling the cold unforgiving metal arm slamming into me, an explosion nearly knocked us off our feet. Startled, I looked up to see Lloyd standing between us and his father.

"Leave my friends alone!" Lloyd yelled as he started to summon his new powers to his finger tips.

Garmadon pulled his damaged mech arm back, preparing to fight Lloyd. And yet…something was off. As Lloyd prepared to face off with his father, hesitation slipped into his eyes. Alarmed, I reached out and grabbed him by the arm, pulling him away before he could get hurt. Breaking at a sprint, we ran away from Garmadon.

…

Sensei was waiting for us at the top of the mountain, next to the Celestial Clock. "Hurry! We must find the pedestal before the clock runs out of time….Where's Misako?"

Lloyd snapped his head up as he realized that his uncle was right. His mother wasn't with us. Zane cleared his throat, his eyes betraying the fact that he was still very much upset with the news. "I am afraid that when we were escaping his camp, she was not as lucky as us and was captured. I am truly sorry Sensei, Lloyd." Zane bowed his head in shame.

Lloyd blinked back his tears, suddenly very much upset. "Ok…let's…let's just get this done. Like Mom wanted." With that, he hurried over to the clock, busying himself with looking for the pedestal.

As we looked for the pedestal, I kept glancing back at the clock, my heart clenching as I realized that the hands were moving very quickly to the zero slot. Just then, a large rock soared past my head. Annoyed, I turned to yell at Cole about throwing rocks at me…and promptly froze. "Sensei! Guys! Nya! We have company!" Right after I yelled that I pulled my new elemental blade out. Swinging upward, I blocked a blow to my head…again.

Soon I couldn't quite keep track of everybody, or the Helmet of Shadows for that matter. Growling, I barreled over three of the Stone Warriors, in time to spot the Stone Warrior from earlier, the one that spoke English, grab hold of the helmet. Sprinting over, I quickly kicked it at of his hands…the same time I spotted the pedestal. Seizing the Helmet of Shadows, I dove towards the pedestal and slammed the helmet back onto it. The Celestial Clock stopped counting down right then for two reasons. One, the Helmet of Shadows was back on the pedestal…and a counteracting two, the clock had reached zero. Scrambling backwards, I went to join Sensei and the others over by a cliff, staring with pure horror as an energy flare rocketed its way inland. Laughing, Garmadon slammed the full weight of his mech into the ground, which caused the cliff we were standing on to crumble away.

A loud scream escaped Nya has she tried to grab us as we fell, only for two of the Stone Warriors to seize her, preventing her from helping us. "No! Nya!" I screeched as I free fell through the air yet again.

"Kai! Quick! Pull out your parachute!" Jay screeched as he tumbled past me.

Before I could ask what he meant by that, I landed in something cold and wet. Three seconds later, Sensei was dumping me onto the beach, while the others stood in the shallow water. Lloyd leaned against Zane for support as he limped to shore. "I am beginning to think we should write a list of ways to disable Kai in battle….then burn it so that our enemies can't find out."

I glared at the young teen, only to jump back in fear when Jay suddenly splashed water over in my direction. Cole shook his head, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Nah. That won't work. They'll figure out that Kai is easily unable to fight due to an inability to stay warm when it's cold out, his claustrophobia, The Great Chocolate Incident, his hydrophobia, and of course, according to Nya, Kai is afraid of donkeys as well. Anything else we should know Kai?"

Lloyd plopped down next to me, narrowing his eyes in confusion. "Wait. The Great Chocolate Incident, again? Please? You have to tell me what it is now!"

"No! Absolutely not! One peep from any of you and I will purposely ruin your weapons!" I growled at my brothers, especially when I noticed that Jay was eager to tell the kid what happened.

Jay pouted at me, before realizing something I already knew. "Where's Nya?"

I slunk further down into my seat, burying my head into my hands. "They captured her when we fell. She tried saving us, but they were faster."

Silence fell as we stood, and sat in two of our cases, dripping wet, at the bottom of the mountain. Rubbing my arms to try and get some warmth in them, the water was cold; I stared down at my feet.

Yeah, we were off to a really bad start right now.

A/N: Done! Poor Kai and Lloyd, their relatives have been captured. Ok, I guess Lloyd still has Sensei, but still. His mother is now in Garmadon's hands. Till next time!
