Chapter 11: Found

Lupe's POV

I woke up to find myself in a cage, with Lloyd standing right over me. I felt slightly groggy and had a massive headache. Lloyd seemed relived upon my awakening.

"Finally, you're awake." Lloyd said.

"How long have I been out?" I asked, seeing that it was almost dark.

"Just an hour or two, it's almost night time." I widened my eyes in horror. Tonight's the claw moon! I thought. I loved the claw moon because I would change, but this time, Blue Jay would also change. "What? What's wrong?"

"It's…it's nothing." I shook it off, but Lloyd was persistent.

"Is it because there's a moon tonight?" Lloyd asked. I sighed then nodded. "I'm not afraid." Lloyd smiled. I smiled back at him, knowing it would be best for him if he didn't know. I just played along with him and hugged him.

"Even if you were scared, I wouldn't hurt you." A snake passed by. "You, on the other hand," I raised my voice as he turned to face me. "Te voy a matar en cualquier momento." (I'll kill you at any time.)

Apparently, the Fangpyre knew Spanish, as his eyes widened in fear and he dashed away from me as fast as he could. I smirked and turned to face Lloyd, who was still in my arms.

"And that is how you scare a snake." I told him, he smiled. Then, I felt a tingling in my mouth. I looked to the sky, only to find the claw moon rising in the east. I felt my she-wolf instincts start to escape. I let go of Lloyd, and felt my hunger start to grow. "Go to the edge of the cage."

Lloyd followed my instructions and got as far away from me as he could. Suddenly, another snake came up to me, it must have looked like I was about to throw up. Even though I didn't feel any pain, it must have looked like I did. The snake poked me with a stick, causing me to whip around and scratch his scaly face with my growing claws. The snake cried out in pain, and then other snakes started to intervene. Pythor came to see what the commotion was about. By the time he made his way through the crowd, I had changed completely and was lying with my head between my paws and my eyes closed. Pythor bent over to see if my eyes were open.

PerfectI thought. When Pythor got eye level with me, after a few seconds, I shot my sapphire eyes open, startling him. I snickered at my accomplishment of scarring Pythor, a being at least twice my size. I stood up slowly and growled at him and the rest of his snakes.

"Get her in a separate cage." Pythor ordered.

*Meanwhile, at the Bounty*

Kai's POV

I was ashamed of myself. I let the Samurai get in the way of me and Lupe. I sighed. Even though she was a Garmadon, and daughter of my greatest enemy, she was still beautiful.

"How could I be so stupid?" I murmured to myself. I was standing on the deck of the Bounty, waiting for her to come back. I looked up and noticed the crescent moon glimmering in the sky. I smiled slightly, and then realized she would turn tonight. Maybe she'll be alright. Where are you, Lupe? I thought. I had also noticed that Jay had been acting weirdly lately, weirder than usual. Or, as Lupe would call him, Blue Jay. I smiled slightly again, then looked out to the city.

"Is something wrong, Kai?" Nya came up to me. I shook my head. "Come on brother, I know you. Something's up." When I refused to answer, she rolled her eyes and stood next to me, looking over the city with me. "Just tell me."

"I'm worried about Lupe." I admitted.

"She'll be fine; you were there when she almost suffocated Cole." I snickered remembering when Cole insulted her and she almost killed him, literally. "I'm a bit worried about Jay; he's been acting strange lately."

"Have you noticed he'll never show his left hand anymore?" I asked her. She thought for a minute. It was true; Jay had been hiding his left hand for a while. Ever since we tried a camping trip in the woods a few weeks ago.

"Yeah, now that you mention it he has. I wonder what's up." Nya responded, worry in her voice.

"He'll be fine. Speaking of Jay, where is he?" I asked her.

"I don't know. He went somewhere after dinner, I haven't seen him since."

"I believe Jay went to the city for a walk." Zane came onto the deck. Cole followed behind him.

"Is Lupe back yet?" Cole asked. I shook my head sadly. On the other hand, Cole seemed relived. "I swear she's out to kill me."

"She probably is. You call a moon she-wolf a werewolf and they'll be beyond enraged." Nya stated. When we all looked at her with a confused stare, she added, "I've been studying them. Mostly I ask Lupe. She knows a lot, but she says she never paid attention when her teacher was telling her something if it didn't have to do with food."

We all laughed lightly at her comment, except for Zane. Why doesn't he laugh? I wondered. Oh well, not my problem. I looked back at the city.

"We will search for Lupe and Lloyd in the morning." Zane told me. I smiled lightly and nodded my thanks.

*The next day*

Lupe's POV

I stayed awake all night, but pretended to sleep as the snakes moved me to a bigger cage. I couldn't stand in my human form, but I could lie down. Even though I would never admit that I needed help, I felt slightly helpless then. Where are you Kai? I kinda need you now. I thought. I felt guilty for blaming him for Lloyd's disappearance, where Lloyd was the one who wandered off.

I really loved a lot about Kai. We both love destroying snakes, hanging out with friends, and so on. But the more I thought about it, the more different I realized we were. I loved mi padre, but Kai hated him. I ruled the skeletons, but, they too, were enemies of Kai. But, we both had a sibling, even though I had twelve and he only had one, we would both protect our siblings until the end.

Suddenly, I picked up the sound of Kai's blade cycle speeding through the desert. Even though it was at least two miles away, my ears could still pick it up. I could also smell the fumes off the cycle. Suddenly, the smell and sound stopped. I felt slightly lonely again, but then saw from far away, the ninja's silhouette on top of one of the buildings of the city.

"Kai," I whispered to myself. Suddenly, as the ninja were about to enter the arena, a cage fell on them. "Kai!" I yelled.

"The ninja!" Lloyd said hopefully. I bit my lip in worry as I saw their trapped selves. Pythor slithered up to them.

"Maldita serpiente," I muttered to myself.

"Looks like we've caught the main event." Pythor hissed.

"Main event? What do you think he meant by main event?" Blue Jay asked quickly. I noticed a slightly smell of desert rabbit blood from his breath. I narrowed my eyes, and then shook my head. If he survived his first claw moon, he'll be fine. I thought.

"I have a feeling we're the main event." Mi amor responded.

"Or main course," Cole added.

"Kai, you may be right. Things may come to an end today." Zane responded.

"Don't worry, the Samurai can still come around to save us," Blue Jay reassured himself. I laughed inwardly.

Suddenly, Pythor addressed the Serpentine.

"You say you wanted a battle, and I give you one, I give you, ninja versus samurai." I almost chocked on my own breath.

Sure enough, the Samurai came out, exo-suit and all, chained up, but was some let free by cowardly snakes who then ran away quickly.

Blue Jay started complaining, but Pythor continued his speech. I didn't pay much attention, until he said eight words that snapped me back to reality.

"Only the victor will be allowed to leave!" Pythor stated. The ninja tried to formulate a plan to ally with the Samurai, but was clear that she wasn't with them. She threw a metal boomerang that hit Blue Jay. From inside the exo-suit, I saw her grimace slightly.

Pythor then shifted the arena floor and almost made the ninja and Samurai fall below the city. After quickly discussing a plan, the ninja grabbed the Samurai's exo-suit and attempted to fly away, only to find they were too heavy to lift more than a few feet off the ground. The Samurai jumped out of the exo-suit and I watched as the ninja flew away.

"Go ninja go!" Lloyd shouted to them.

"¡Vaya mi amor!" I yelled after Kai. (Go my love!)

I watched the Samurai fight the snakes, and then Pythor grabbed Lloyd and used him as a human shield.

"Lloyd!" I howled as I started to ferociously slash at the bars of my cage, breaking a nail or two in the process.

"Get him!" Pythor yelled. The Samurai was surrounded by snakes, but used a magnet to draw the Golden Weapons to her then a mat to roll them up and threw a metal boomerang, activate the switch that made the ground move, and flew away.

"Curse that Samurai! Curse the ninja!" Pythor hollered.

"¡Cierra la boca y soltó mi hermano!" I yelled at Pythor. (Shut up and let go of my brother!) When Pythor finally put Lloyd back in his cage, I slightly calmed down. When night arrived, I started to lightly sing a song I just scratched into the sand.

"Tall, dark and superman
He puts papers in his briefcase and drives away
To save the world or go to work
It's the same thing to me
He's got his mother's eyes, his father's ambition
I wonder if he knows how much that I miss him
I hang on every word you say, yeah
And you smile and say, "How are you? "
I say, "Just fine"
I always forget to tell you, I love you, I love you... forever

I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around
I watch superman fly away
Come back I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

Tall, dark and beautiful
He's complicated, he's irrational
But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah
Something in his deep brown eyes has me sayin'
He's not all bad like his reputation
And I can't hear one single word they say
And you'll leave, got places to be and I'll be OK
I always forget to tell you I love you, I loved you from the very first day

I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world I'll be around
I watch superman fly away
Come back I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

And I watch you fly around the world
And I hope you don't save some other girl
Don't forget, don't forget about me
I'm far away but I never let you go
I'm love struck and looking out the window
Don't forget, don't forget where I'll be
Right here wishing the flowers were from you
Wishing the card was from you
Wishing the call was from you

'Cause I loved you from the very first day

I watch superman fly away
You've got a busy day today
Go save the world, I'll be around...
Forever and ever here
I watch superman fly away
I swear I'll be with you someday
I'll be right here on the ground
When you come back down

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

When you come back down

I fell asleep right after I finished my song, looking at Lloyd's sleeping form. I smiled as I closed my eyes after that eventful day.
