Ch.6: Escaping the Tower

"Your WHAT?!" everyone yelled in unison. Pam buried her face into her hands as she broke down crying.

"Believe me," she said in between sobs. "I'm as shocked as you are! I thought I killed him back at the city when I lost it, but it sounds like he survived and betrayed me. Makes me wish I did kill him, even though I'm not a murderer! Of all the men in the world, why did Garmadon have to choose my disowned dad?" Feeling terrible for her, Lloyd knelt down and hugged Pam at the side.

"Pam, it'll be okay," he said to her. "We'll get out of this…somehow…"

"What I don't get is how Pam's dad got dark magic on him?" asked Jay.

"He's not my dad anymore," Pam answered. "I disowned him, remember?"

"Garmadon granted Lawrence his dark powers," Dr. Julien then explained to the Ninja. "He used a magical weapon called the Mega Weapon, a powerful golden staff of some sort with the power to create but not destroy. He created it by combining four other golden weapons into one with his own Spinjitzu powers." The male Ninja then turned to each other with shock.

"Our Golden Spinjitzu Weapons!" Pam looked up at them in reply.

"You mean the weapons you had before Garmadon took them away to destroy the Great Devourer?" she asked.

"Those are the ones," Kai answered. "I can't believe he combined all our weapons into one Mega Weapon."

"Not all of them," Pam replied, holding up her sais. "My sais are Golden Spinjitzu Weapons too, remember?"

"Technically, she is right," Zane concurred.

"Zane, just shut up, alright?" growled the annoyed Kai. "It's bad enough we can't get our weapons now that they're combined as one."

"It is foretold that the weapons will be 'separated and reincarnated by the Sister Weapon'," Dr. Julien then said. They all turned to him in answer.

"Sister Weapon?" Nya asked. "What is that?"

"According to Garmadon," the Tinkerer answered, "the Sister Weapon is a Golden Spinjitzu Weapon that can only be wielded by a female warrior alone and can transform its brother weapons. It will only be revealed once the one chosen to wield them has been revealed to the original wielders of the weapons." The ninja then turned to Pam with shock.

"Pam," Jay said, "that's you!" Pam then looked down at her sais with shock.

"So, I'm the one who'll retrieve the Spinjitzu Weapons and transform them?" she replied before smiling. "Cool!"

"Well, looks like we're all doomed," Kai grumbled, earning himself a smack at the back of his head from Nya. "OW! What?!"

"But…how did you know all of that?" Lloyd then asked Dr. Julien. With a smile, the older man whistled to the side. And over to his held out arm flew a falcon exactly like Guidance but white instead of black with lavender eyes.

"I've built her a while back," he then explained before stroking her head. "She was my eyes and ears outside of the tower. I built her hoping that I might find a way to escape this wretched place. That's how I got my information on the Sister Weapon."

"So…is this Guidance's new girlfriend," Pam asked him, "or his new baby sister?" Dr. Julien turned to her with confusion.

"Guidance?"

"Our name for the falcon you made for me before," Zane explained with a smile. "He's living with us now." His father laughed with impressiveness.

"I should've known he would help you reveal your past even after I've switched your memory switch off," he said. "He has always been so fond of you."

"You'll get to see him soon," Pam assured her. "But first, we have to get you out of here."

"How are we gonna do that, Pam?" asked Kai. "Your dad—"

"Disowned dad!" she interrupted with annoyance.

"Whatever! Anyway, he melted the lock shut so we can't get out."

"Pop quiz," she answered with a smile of confidence before knocking on the door. "Question numero uno: what is this door made of?"

"Uh, wood?" Cole asked, a little confused.

"Exact-a-mundo! Question numero dos: what is the lighthouse built with?" She then tapped her sai on the wall of the lighthouse."

"Stone," answered Jay, still not getting it.

"Elementary, my dear Jay," she answered. "Question numero tres: what special ability can Lloyd's Scan Gloves do?"

"They can copy whatever I scan to give me—" Lloyd started before it dawned on him. "I get it! I just scan the stone wall and then knock the door down to break it down."

"Got it!" Pam replied. "You know what to do, little bro."

"Now why didn't we think of that?" replied Zane before the Green Ninja went up to the wall and scanned it with his gloves.

"Stone Power, GOOOO!" With his gloves and boots now stone, Lloyd ran up to the door and delivered a high-jump kick against it. The kick was so strong that the door practically flew across the ocean ahead of them.

"Yeah," Pam cheered, high fiving the young boy. "Atta boy, Lloyd! That kick was a doozy!" Dr. Julien gawked at the blushing boy in awe.

"That was incredible," he said before turning to Zane. "Did you build them yourself?"

"No, it was Pam's friend Kowalski," he answered. "I'm certain you will get along with him well once you meet him." The group then rushed out of the lighthouse and ran down the steps to reach the beach. Once they were all there, Pam turned to the guys.

"Okay," she said, "now that we're outta there, anyone have a plan on getting off this island."

"My advice would just simply give up," a voice answered her. She turned sharply to see, standing a couple of feet from them, the last person she wanted to see since hearing of his betrayal.

"Lawrence…"
