Hi, I'm back! I need to say I don't own Cartoon Network. Let's just say Madison's gained a lot of responsibilities this chapter!

" Ok, now that we sort of know what we're going to do, let me explain something just as important. Garmadon. We can't leave ninjago while he could still be reeking havoc. Nya, I would leave you here, but I need another person with me watching the ninja. Their instincts could activate at any time during the journey. I'm thinking about leaving Madison here, to hold off Garmadon until we get back. And I know you're going to say she's just a kid, but now I know what she can do. Those translators are very complicated, and she said she didn't even have any practice making anything like them. She learnt as she went. I know she will be able to handle this. Just for a week or two." Wu said.

" But isn't the serpentine still at large?" Zane said. Wu thought for a moment.

" Yes, but I think she can create things to combat their powers. She's very creative." Wu said. Just then Madison came through the door.

" I'm done! Finally! Now I can take a nap…" Madison said. She yawned. She used her powers a lot today, she's straining herself. Nya thought.

" Madison, I need to talk with you for a minute." Wu said. She slowly walked over to him.

" While we're gone, we need someone to stay and protect Ninjago from Garmadon." Wu said. " I think you should stay and fend off Garmadon until we come back with the cure." Madison gasped.

" Really me, an 11 year old. Should stay here, and defend all of ninjago against Garmadon! From my knowledge it's mostly his fault that you guys are animals, and he can create anything he wants with that Mega Weapon he has!" Madison panicked. Jay mowed.

" And the Serpentine!" Kai roughly hit him with his paw. Madison looked like she was about to faint.

" The Serpentine too, but I know you can do it. You learn fast, and Garmadon can only create things once a day, after that it drains all of his strength. The Serpentine, you can easily manage to deal with them. I know you can create things to combat their powers. You also have Silver to fight alongside you. I'm certain a cat-dragon-robot can help you in battle." Wu said. Madison started to look more confident.

" Well, I'll try my best!" She said. Silver started rubbing against her leg gently, as if to say "I'll try my hardest, too." Madison knelt down to pet him then stood back up.

" Do you guys know where you're going?" Madison asked.

" We know where we're going, just not where it is. The Crystal Caves." Wu said.

" Well, that place sounds interesting. When are you leaving? I can make you some breakfast before you leave." Madison said.

" Well, after breakfast I guess." Nya said.

" Ok, I'll get working on that. You guys can go watch tv if you want." Madison said, she pulled a pan out of a cupboard. Everyone walked into the living room. Nya grabbed the remote and pressed the " POWER" button. It was on Cartoon Network. She changed the channel to 6, and the news was on. First was something about dogs, and you should spay and neuter them, because there's so many of them. Then something about a fire in some city. Nothing to big. Next the weather, a meteorologist walked onto screen and talked about the weather.

" It's going to be sunny over Ninjago City, with a 10% chance of rainfall. In the birchwood forest it's going to be cloudy with a 99.9% chance of snow. Next to Jamanakai Village. It will be cloudy with 28% chance of snow." She said. "Next to Tom with sports. Everyone smelled the aroma of pancakes.

" Breakfast's ready!" Madison said. Everyone walked back to the kitchen. There was pancakes with strawberries on top, and a bottle of syrup in the middle of the table. She set two plates on the ground for Jay and Kai.

" Help yourself. I made plenty." Madison said. She grabbed two more plates with giant pancakes on them. She walked out the front door to give it to Cole and Lloyd. They gladly took the pancakes and started eating. She walked back inside to see everyone eating. Jay meowed.

" These pancakes are better than Zane's!"

" He's right. These are amazing." Zane said.

" My friend told me a secret recipe, that makes them taste a lot better." Madison said. She grabbed a plate and laid a pancake on it. Zane was pecking at the pancakes and strawberries.

When they finished eating they got ready to go.

" Thank you Madison, I wish you the best of luck, holding off Garmadon while we're gone." Wu said. Everyone said their " Thank you's" and " Goodbye's" and left.

Madison had a lot of explaining to do with her mom…

Awww. mostly a filler chapter… But it did set up Madison staying to hold off Garmadon. Split story? It will probably go between the ninja and Madison every chapter. Do you think Madison will be able to hold off Garmadon and the serpentine? That's a lot to do when she's 11.
