Zane, Jay and Cole sat in the cell Lord Garmadon had locked them in, Zane keeping an eye on Cole to make sure he was still awake. Cole felt exhausted, and the screaming pain in his leg didn't help. Zane was worried that if he fell asleep, he might not wake up.

"Do you guys think Kai is coming?" Jay asked.

"Of course he is Jay," Cole told his teammate. "He knows you never leave a ninja behind."

Jay nodded. Jay sat against the wall perpendicular to the back wall, looking out the bars trapping them in. He pulled his legs in close and curled into a small ball.

"Jay," Zane started. "Are you feeling alright?"

Jay nodded, not looking up.

"I'm worried about him," Cole whispered to Zane. "He hasn't made a single comment this whole time. Do you think Garmadon did something to him?"
"It's possible," Zane replied, looking at Jay. "But you're right, something is wrong. He's not himself."

"You know I can hear both of you," Jay told them.

Jay pulled himself into the corner of the cell, still curled up and leaned against the wall. Zane frowned.

"I don't want to talk about it, Ok?" Jay told them.

Cole shook his head.

"Zane, just leave him to his thoughts," he said. "Give him time. He was the first captured and all, so who knows what he's seen."

Cole moved and flinched, a burning pain filled his leg. Zane placed a hand on Cole's shoulder, shaking his head.

"Don't try to move too much," he said. "We want to try to stop the bleeding. Moving won't help."

Cole sighed and looked at Jay, who was once again looking out the cell bars, lost in his thoughts. Where are you Kai, Cole thought. We really need your help and fast.

Lloyd stood, his father's hand on his shoulder, holding him back. Lloyd watched as Kai was chained up in front of him, right in the middle of Garmadon's camp.

"Dad, please don't hurt him, or any of the others," Lloyd begged.

"Son, you should know this by now," Lord Garmadon replied. "There are some things in life that I cannot control. Others, I can. I….." He looked down at his son. "I really don't want to fight you, son."

"But destiny," Lloyd started.

"I know," he replied. "But if I stop you from reaching your true potential, we won't have to battle."

Lloyd was confused, then he looked to Kai.

"So, destroying your teachers and the people who grow your powers will stop you from reaching your true potential," Lord Garmadon said.

"Dad! No!" Lloyd cried. "You can't!"
Kai pulled on the chains, seeing Lloyd panicked and worried.

"Their my family," Lloyd begged. "Especially Kai. Please dad!"
"Kozu, get the other three, and the girl," Lord Garmadon said. "Time to stop destiny."

"Dad! You can't do this!" Lloyd begged.

Lloyd grabbed Garmadon's arm, trying to stop him from doing anything. Kai watched in horror, pulling on the chains and trying to escape. Lord Garmadon stood several feet in front of Kai, while the Stone warriors forced Zane, Jay and Nya into the area. Cole had a warrior on each side, holding him by the arms and dragging him along. They were all chained beside Kai, and Lloyd watched in terror.

"Dad, please," Lloyd begged. "They're my friends."

"They are my enemy, Lloyd," Lord Garmadon told his son. "There's no other way unless you want to fight me."

"I never said I wouldn't!" Lloyd shouted at his father. "I never said I wouldn't fight you! YOu said you didn't want to fight!"

Lord Garmadon looked at his son, heartbroken.

"And if I had to pick between you and the ninja, I would have chosen the ninja!" Lloyd continued his rant. "Your no father to me! You never have been!"

Lord Garmadon didn't moved. He stared at his son in shocked. All the ninja exchanged looks with each other. Even they were shocked that Lloyd said that, especially to his own father.

"Lloyd, you don't mean that," Lord Garmadon said. "Do you?"

"I mean every word," Lloyd grumbled. "You've never been there for me when I needed you. The ninja were. And if it weren't for Kai, I would have died in the volcano."

Lord Garmadon looked down at his feet, ashamed. Now all the attention was on Kai, as Lloyd ran to him and hugged him.

"I never knew you felt that way," Lord Garmadon muttered.

Lloyd looked up at his father, staying at Kai's side.

"Then let them go," Lloyd said. "Don't cower at destiny and realize, you can't stop it."

Lord Garmadon looked at Lloyd, then at Kai and all the other ninja. He shook his head, looking at his feet again.

"I'm sorry," Lord Garmadon said.

Lloyd cocked his head.

"Dad?" Lloyd asked, walking towards him.

Lord Garmadon got onto one knee and opened his arms to give Lloyd a hug. Lloyd smiled and ran into his father's arms. Kai smiled a little bit.

"So you'll let them go?" Lloyd asked his father.

"Alright," Lord Garmadon told his son. "Only because I don't want to hurt you. And only this one time."
Lloyd smiled.

"Release them," Lord Garmadon ordered.

The Stone Warriors released the chains on the ninja and Lloyd smiled. Zane walked to Cole's side, who sat on the ground in pain. Kai moved to Cole's side too, and helped Zane get Cole to his feet.

"How are we going to get him out of here?" Kai asked Zane.

"I know!" Lloyd called.

Kai and Zane exchanged confused looks as Lloyd ran off. When Lloyd came back, he was dragging a net behind him. He laid it on the ground.

"We can put Cole on it, and you two, Jay and Nya can each take a corner and carry him on it," Lloyd explained his idea. "Do you think it will work?"

"I say let's give the kid a shot," Cole winced. "Cause I would rather that then what you guys are doing right now."

Kai laughed nervously and he and Zane placed Cole on the net. Jay and Nya moved to a corner.

"Alright, on three," Zane said. "One. Two. Three."

As Zane said three, everyone lifted up the net together, getting Cole off the ground.

Kai laughed. "You know, you're a lot lighter that I thought, Cole."

Cole grumbled at Kai.

"Guys, this way!" Lloyd called, standing in a helicopter.

The ninja carried Cole over to the copter, setting him down inside and climbing in after him. Jay and Nya sat, looking out the door as it took off. Zane went to the controls, flying the copter. Cole sat, lost in his thoughts. Kai looked out the other side, thinking.

"Kai," Lloyd mumbled.

Kai looked up and smiled at the young boy.

"What's up?" Kai replied.

Lloyd sat down beside Kai. Kai wrapped an arm around Lloyd, bringing him in close.

"I'm worried," Lloyd said.

"About what?" Kai asked.

"That my dad will hurt you and the others," Lloyd said. "And that….you won't like me because of him."
"Lloyd, what makes you think that?" Kai asked. "Some people will never grow up to be like their parents. You are one of them."

Lloyd smiled at Kai.

"Now come here," Kai said.

He pulled Lloyd into a hug.

"Does anyone feel like we're forgetting something?" Cole asked, breaking their moment.

"Now that you mention it, yeah," Jay turned.

"Did we forget something?" Kai asked, looking at them all.

Then it hit him and his eyes widened.

"What Kai?" Cole asked, noticing.

"The weapons," Kai muttered. "Garmadon still has the golden weapons."

"What!?" Jay shouted.

"How could we be so stupid!?" Cole yelled.

"We need to go back," Jay told Zane.

"He would be long gone by now," Zane told Jay. "It would be pointless to turn back now. We have Lloyd, we have each other and our elemental powers are within us, not our weapons."

"Zane's right you guys," Kai said. "We've got all we need right here."

"A team," Cole smiled.

"No, even better," Kai told him. "We're more than a team. We're a family."

I'm pretty sure this is one of my shorter stories, but if I didn't end it here, it would have turned into a new season two. I hope you enjoyed this story!
