Ch.4: Connections from the Other Side
When the figure was deep inside the cave, he came upon a dark-colored shrine. He then placed his hand on a violet crystal on top of it, and it soon transformed into the Dark Lord Garmadon himself. However, it was really a hologram of some kind; the figure can see right through him. The hologram then turned to the figure with his piercing red eyes.
"What have you to report, my new henchman?" he asked as the figure bowed to him.
"Lord Garmadon," he then said to the hologram, "I have just received some new visitors. I believe they are the ninja you have told me about…and your son is with them." Garmadon then placed his fingers of one hand on his chin in thought.
"And how is Lloyd progressing?" he asked.
"I've unleashed some zombies on them," the figure answered. "They had fought well, but your son used a quaking punch into the ground to turn my zombies into solid gold." Garmadon chuckled to himself.
"I should be able to raise his allowance if I sold those statues to Fort Knox," he then replied. The figure scowled in reply.
"That's what she said." Garmadon turned to him in reply, a look of new interest in his eyes.
"Who?" The figure then looked up at him to reveal his face in the light, an older man in his mid-fifties with white curly hair with a mustache and dark eyes.
"My daughter…" he answered with anger in his eyes. "Apparently, your brother found her and convinced her to join the ninja. She wields a pair of golden sais to power up her new wind powers." Garmadon blinked with surprise.
"The Golden Sais of the Four Winds?" he said in awe. "I thought they were only a myth. My father must have known about them but kept secret from me. Wu must have known about them himself somehow. If he did…" He then looked down at his new weapon, a large golden staff of some sort with a large head looking somewhat like flames from Tartarus itself, and gripped it tightly.
"The Sister Weapon…" Garmadon then turned to his henchman.
"Lawrence," he said to him firmly, "keep the ninja here as well as Dr. Julien until I get there." Lawrence bowed to him in reply.
"As you wish, my lord…" The hologram then vanished, and Lawrence stood up from his spot.
"Well, time to go see how my daughter was doing these past few weeks…"
