Before I get started, here's a quick apology. I'm sorry this is taking so long. So much is going on, and I'm so emotionally drained. While I want to always be writing, I just can't anymore. There are people I need to support, and I need to get my own life back in control. Please pray for me. It's going to be tough, but I'm still going to make this writing thing work. Just please have patience with me. Here's the next chapter, enjoy!

Just along the outskirts of town there lived a husband and wife, and just across from them lived their brother. Both men were artists in their own way, and the wife soon caught wind that they'd been lured in by the Muse's trap.

Crafty, as she was, she devised a plan to break the spell the Muse had on them and save them from dying in the competition as well. With help from her friend, she gathered what she needed and hurried to the location of the competition...

"Do you think Jay came to check on him, and that was why he left last night?"

"To be honest, I really don't know Nya," Cole shrugged, "Doesn't it seem a little odd to you? He's under Melina's control, and just happens to show up as Kai wakes up. There's got to be something more to this."

Lloyd, Zane, Nya, and Cole, raced (well tried to race) into the hospital.

"Uh, guys?" Zane stopped in his tracks, "I sense Melina is here."

"Here?" Lloyd groaned, "This just got a whole lot more complicated."

"Both of you, get back in the car and stay in it, if the legend is right, everyone who she kissed will start fighting upon seeing her," Cole commanded, "we can't risk it."

Lloyd and Zane nodded and hurried back to the car.

"Do you really think she's here?" Nya asked as she and Cole entered an elevator.

"I don't know, but we really don't need the three of them fighting each other to the death right now. Better safe than sorry."

The elevator opened, and the two hurried to Kai's room. Cole flung open the door, and Melina stood to greet them. Kai and Jay wrestled in the middle of the room, equipment knocked in every which way.

"Hello you two, how nice of you to join. Now where are your two little friends? It's been killing me how long it's been," Melina smirked.

(Time skip)

"It's been over an hour, do you think we should go in there?" Lloyd asked.

"I've texted both Nya and Cole several times, but neither have responded. I say yes, something may have happened," Zane replied.

"Okay, come on then!" Lloyd hopped out of the car with Zane close to follow.

(Time skip)

"Stop it! You're friends!" Cole insisted as he tried to separate Kai and Jay. It appeared that Kai had awoken thanks to Melina's kiss, and now he and Jay were now going head to head... except Cole was a barrier between them and was receiving the majority of the punches.

Nya clenched her fists around her crutches, and balancing on her good leg, she picked them up and swung them at Melina.

Melina screamed and blocked her face, "you pitiful girl! You'll never understand!" She screamed.

"I understand enough," Nya scoffed and took another swing with her crutches.

A nurse opened the door and began to walk in but screamed at the sight of multiple fights going on and ran out, leaving the door wide open.

Upon receiving a hard blow from Kai, Cole fell into the doorway. Both Jay and Kai fell on top of him. Kai took off and began running towards the roof. Cole and Jay both scrambled to their feet and followed.

(Time skip)

"Uh Zane?"

"Yeah?"

"Look up."

Zane and Lloyd stared at the rooftop as three figures emerged on the rooftop.

"We better get up there," Zane sighed, "Airjitzu?"

The two airjitzued to the roof just in time to witness Cole work his way between Jay and Kai. He received a blow to the head and toppled over unconscious.

(Time skip)

Melina grabbed the crutches mid swing and threw them at the window. The glass shattered and they fell into the parking lot down below.

"No, you don't understand anything!" Melina smirked. She swung at Nya, and she lost balance and fell easily. "Guys only love me because I have a magic kiss. No one will ever be able to love me for me, and if they did, our first kiss would ruin it all. But you, you have a whole family of guys who love you... for you. You'll never have to do what I've had to for love."

Nya pulled herself up, "You're right, and I feel sorry for you for that. But you've hurt all of my family, and that is no excuse."

One chapter left! I'm so excited. This has been so much fun to write. I'll put the sequel up after Sons of Garmadon some time. I'm pretty sure I know how I want the plot to go, but it might change based on Sons of Garmadon storyline. Hopefully I'll have the final chapter up soon, but you never know with my schedule. Thanks for being patient.
