Garmadon's P.O.V.

I watched Kai and my son running with the skeletons close behind them. I bit my lip for the skeletons were gaining on them.

"There has to be something I can do," I said. "I can't let them die."

"There's the entrance to the portal," Kai cried, pointing it out to Lloyd.

"Kai, they're gaining on us!" Lloyd cried.

Kai and Lloyd were so close to the exit when the skeletons fired a net at them.

"If it lands on them, it's all over," I cried.

Kai looked over his shoulder, his eyes widened. He pushed Lloyd out of the way, into the portal entrance, but he didn't make it.

Lloyd was disappearing when he saw Kai trapped in the net.

"KAI!" my son cried to the red ninja, who was tangled and trying to escape.

"Go Lloyd," Kai told him. "Get the others, hurry!"

Lloyd disappear but Kai was lifted up in the net. He struggled as the skeletons began carrying him back.

"That's it," I said, done with watching.

I walked over to the portal and traveled to the Underworld myself. I landed in front of the skeletons.

"You have gone beyond the line now," I said, furious. "Now you meet the dragon."

I did a quick pattern with my hands and transformed. I became a large black and green dragon. He skeletons cowered in fear of me.

"Drop. The. Ninja." I said.

The skeletons dropped Kai and ran for their lives. Kai himself was terrified. I pulled the net off him and he tried to hide himself.

"Don't hurt me, please," he said.

I chuckled. I changed back into myself and Kai stared in awe at me.

"Garmadon!" Kai cried out.

"Sensei," I replied as loud, hitting him in the head.

"Right, right," Kai chuckled. "My bad."

"Come on, let's get you back to the…." I stopped.

"Garmadon, what's happening," Kai asked.

I looked at him, then at myself.

"And the Cursed Realm is pulling us back to it," I sighed.

"What!" Kai cried out.

We appeared in the Cursed Realm and Kai was scared. I looked at him, confused.

"Kai, calm down," I said.

"Take me back to the others, please," Kai begged.

"The portal needs to charge, it will be a couple hours," I told him.

"A couple hours!" he yelled.

"Yeah, my bad," I chuckled. "We'll just have to wait."

"Wait! But I need to get to the others," Kai said.

"Kai, Lloyd's fine, everyone's Ok," I told him. "They can survive a few hours without you."

I could tell Kai was angry with me. I know he doesn't like waiting but he didn't have a choice.

"I'm not waiting here," Kai said, about to walk away.

"Yes, you are," I said.

I grabbed his arm and hung him into a patch of vines. The grabbed him and held him against the walls.

"Hey!" Kai yelled at me. "What are these things? They aren't letting me go."

"Cursed Vines," I replied, watching him struggle. "Any mortal that walk into them get trapped until a ghost releases them."

"Let me go," Kai said.

"You tried to leave," I said. "You must stay here. If any ghost know I have a mortal here, you'll be the one getting punished."

"What's that suppose to mean?" Kai asked.

"They'll lock you up and keep you here forever," I said.

Kai's eyes widened in fear.
"Ok, I'll just stay here then," he said.

I smiled, chuckling a little bit.

"Good," I said. "I have to go and get something and I'll be right back."

"No, don't leave me here," Kai cried.

"You'll be fine, no one can get in here but me," I said. "And people I bring with me of course."
I left him in the vines. Alone in the room. He'll be fine, right?

Lloyd's P.O.V.

Kai pushed me through the portal as he was caught. Then I was falling into the pond behind Sensei's old Tea shop.

"What was that," I heard Zane say as I hit the water.

I swam back up to the surface and cling to the edge of the waterfall.

"Lloyd," Nya, cried, swimming to me.

She took me by the arm and helped me back over to the sandy side of the pond. Zane and Ali were waiting there for me. I panted for air as Ali tried to calm me.

"Lloyd, you're Ok," she told me.

"What happened?" Zane asked me.

"Kai….rescued me…...skeletons chasing us…...caught Kai….Kai's," my eyes lowered, "gone."

"What do you mean?" Ali asked.

"They were going to kill him," I said, tears streaming from my eyes down my cheeks.

I got a pain in my head, it was sharp and intense. I held my head, moaning.

"Lloyd, what's wrong," Ali asked me, panicking.

"Garmadon," I heard Cole say before I passed out.

"Lloyd," my father said.

"Dad, again with this," I said. "Can you make it less painful? I mean, that really hurt."
"It's important," my dad said.

"What?" I asked, concerned.

"It's Kai," he said. "He's trapped in the Cursed Realm with me. I won't be able to get him back to you for a little while. Can you ask Cole to come to the Cursed Realm. I really could use his help at the moment."

"Of course dad," I smiled.

"And I'll try to give a warning next time so you know it's coming, got it," he smiled at me.

"Ok. Love you dad," I smiled as we return to our homes.

I woke up on the couch inside.

"Lloyd, it was your father, wasn't it," Cole said.

"Yeah, he wants you," I told him.

"Are you Ok, though," Cole asked me.

I sat up and Ali sat beside me. She hugged me tightly.

"I'll be fine, go help my dad," I told him.
Cole nodded and disappeared like that.

"He's got to tell me where he learned to do that," Ali chuckled. "Lloyd, you were talking about Kai. Is he Ok?"

"Yeah, it's a bit hard to explain, but Kai's fine," I told her. "Cole's going to help my father with him."
"Oh, so Kai is Ok," Nya said, entering the room in some fuzzy warm clothes.

"Yeah," I said.

At least I hope.

Cole's P.O.V.

I landed beside Garmadon.
"You wanted me," I said.

"Yes, quickly," he replied, leading me towards his base.

We climbed the stair up to it and walked inside. I looked inside and saw Kai tangled in the vines. I huckled and he noticed me. He just glared.

"Can you let me out now," he asked, annoyed.

"No," Garmadon told him.
"Don't know how, sorry man," I sighed, grinning.

"Awe come on," Kai groaned.

"So, what's up Garmy," I smiled, turning my attention away from Kai.

"I was just hoping you can try to keep Kai calm while the portal recharges," he told me. "I have to run out and do a couple things and I don't want him causing trouble."
"Understood," I said.

"Great," Garmadon replied to me. "Kai, behave."

"You're not my dad!" Kai yelled. "And why can't Cole just take me home?"

"I don't have the abilities to travel with people," I sighed. "So, I would but I can't."

"So I'm stuck here then," Kai cried.

"So am I, cry baby," I said.

I punched him in the gut.

"I just had to," I grinned.

Garmadon shrugged and walked out. I looked at Kai.

"I'm in charge now, so you better listen," I told him, smiling.

"Kill me now," Kai groaned.

I laughed. I'm gonna have fun with this.
