Chapter 11
Lucas was slowly opening his eyes and found himself in darkness. His body was in pain as he tried to move his hands. When he found out he couldn't move them, he felt around and felt rope around his wrists, and looked at his arms to realize his arms were tied behind his back. He looked down at his legs and found they were tied up as well. Using an elbow, he lifts himself off the ground and gets himself in a sitting position and leaning against the wall. He looks at his surroundings and found himself in a room with pipes hanging above him. Lucas hopes this wasn't the same room he held the others from before, but he knows they would put him in a room near the venom source.
He shook it out of his head and wouldn't accept defeat to them. He looks around the room more and spots his sai's and backpacks hanging above him, and then spots Lloyd, on his side with his back turned, struggling to escape the rope around his limbs. Lucas tried to call to him to see if he was alright, but he found out his voice was muffled. He looks down at his mouth and can trace a bandana was wrapped around his mouth. Lloyd stopped struggling when he heard something, turns his head, and was happy to see his cousin finally awake. He scoots and inch worms his way over to Lucas.
When he got to Lucas, and sat next to him, Lucas looks down at him and could see hope gleaming in his green eyes. Lucas, not wanting to disappoint him, began to break free from the ropes and save them both. But no matter how many times he tried to escape, he felt the ropes getting tighter around his wrists. He stopped struggling so he wouldn't cut the circulation in his arms. He looks at Lloyd and saw the hope disappear, but saw disappointment in his eyes. Lloyd turned from happy to sad, looks at Lucas and rested his head on his shoulder.
Lucas took pity on him. He's been doing everything he could to prtect him. But now they have been captured and will become evil as their brothers. He laid his head on his head and tried his best to stroke his hair to comfort him. He hums him the song he played from his flute to help comfort and relax him. Lloyd felt sleepy and fell asleep on his shoulder. Lucas closed his eyes and fell asleep with him. As this will be their last time together of being good.
"Master, we finally have them." Cole informed the dark lord.
"Excellent." said Garmadon, and evily grins at the four kneeling ninja's, "Now get some rest. You four deserve it."
"Yes master." they all said, got up and left.
After they left, Garmadon looks back at the pool of venom, and begans to think of his plans to rule Ninjago. The thought of his son ruling by side would make him proud and they both would avoid the final battle between them. Sensei, however, couldn't bear what he just heard. The thought of losing his son only brought pain and sorrow to his heart. He walks away from the cage side and sat in the middle to meditate while Nya slept. As he meditate, he felt more pain as he began to see his son's fate slip away from him.
