Chapter 26: Jay's true Potential
(Molly's POV)
We were meeting to discuss the serpentine in the bridge as Nya gave her report on fangpire venom. But she stopped mid report with a swollen face."Uh, is someone wearing perfume. I'm severely allergic to perfume." Jay was stuttering. Kai tricked him into wearing perfume by saying it was cologne. I couldn't let him burn up in the fire. "Sorry Nya, I got a new perfume from town and wanted to try it." Jay looked at me with eyes that said 'thank you' and turned back to Nya. "It's fine. No harm done," Nya said. The others left except me, Nya, Jay, Ally, Crystal, and Mag. Jay went to talk to Nya. I think he asked her out. There was a lot of stuttering and blushing. I'm glad I'm 10. Don't have to worry about this for a while. I left soon after Nya left and I was followed by the trio. We left to let Jay do his happy dance in peace.
I chose to train since there was no current reports on the serpentine. I used my fans to reflect light and ended up setting a dummy on fire. Oops! I ran through the course but broke the punching bag. Oops, again! I decided to just stretch but I knocked over a stack of barrels. Oh come on! I just chose to sit and watch the others since I kept wrecking everything. I watched as the guys and girls talked and barley trained at all. It made me think of Lloyd. I sighed. I do miss him. I don't know why but I feel awful when I think about him not being here. I wanted to see him. Why I feel like this; I think like him. Case partially closed. Now to get him back, safe and sound. My thoughts became interrupted by an alarm. I realized I'd been zoned off for a while. Great, serpentine! Why can't Pyhtor ever take a day off?
(NO POV- with Sensei Wu)
Sensei Wu poured the traveler's tea on the ground and a portal appeared. He walked into a dark damp realm with no light. Only to have Lord Garmadon behind him. "So, you have come here and followed me brother. I see you have brought the katana from our youth. Though I remember you not even wanting to go over Monastery wall to get it," Garmadon said lurking in the shadows. "Why have you come to this place?" Wu asked turning to try and face his brother. (WARNING LONG BORING SPEECH! I"LL SHORTEN IT FOR YOU!) "Don't you see brother," Garmadon said "Here the darkness thrives. Here the impossible is possible." Garmadon revealed himself to show two extra arms. "You came here just to posses the weapons of spinjitzu!" Wu said. "Yes and you will not stop me." Garmadon raised an arm and mud muggles raised and pulled Wu into the ground. "You can't stop me this time brother," Garmadon said to end the struggle. "I- didn't come to- stop you- came to warn you- your- your children are in danger!" "Lloyd, girls." Garmadon pulled Wu out of the muck. "What has Lloyd gotten himself into now?" Garmadon asked. "I fear he has opened a can of worms I may never be able to close." "You mean we may never be able to close. Now how are the girls in this mess?" "They are the ninjas of sound, wind, and water. They tried protecting Lloyd, but now Mag blames herself for his capture by the serpentine he released." "Why would he do that?" "To be like you." "I never wanted them to be like me. That's why I left." "The girls did their part and Lloyd now has no desire to be evil, but after a failed rescue attempt Mag has become unsure if she can be a leader." "You can tell me on the way, but what has become of the girls?" "I knew you would ask." Wu reached into his bag and pulled out one of the photos Mag had ordered. "The one on my right is Mag, to my left is Ally, and in front with Lloyd is Crystal." Garmadon took the photo and starred at it, studying the faces of the four children. It had been 8 years since he'd seen his daughters, and they'd changed so much. Garmadon pocketed the picture and turned his attention back to this brother. "How did you get here?" "Traveler's tea, but I used it all up getting here." "There is only one way out of here, at the top of the peaks of madness. The journey will be long and treacherous." "I wouldn't have it any other way."
(Molly's POV)
Why do these snakes always get in the way? I see Pythor over there against Mag. Man is he in trouble. I have to fight these second hand snakes. Man so not cool! They take Lloyd, capture us, we break out, they keep Lloyd, ruin Jay and Nya's date, get in my way, endanger my friends; I HAVE HAD IT! I began to gleam and burn, not true potential, but a power much stronger. My fans were glowing; my powers were increased by my anger. "Get ready you filthy snakes," I said smiling "you guys just gave me a power boost!" I lunged at every snake I saw. Punching, kicking, spinning, yelling, attacking, and destroying each one. When I stopped I saw Jay and Nya back to normal, Nya revealed to the others she was the Samurai. "What? You the Samurai?" Cole said. He looked so funny being the only shocked one. "Cole," Mag said smiling "before today; me, Ally, Crystal, Molly, Ben, Sensei, and Kai all knew. That's 8 people knowing to 3 in the blue." We laughed. I'm glad that Jay and Nya laughed together. They made such a cute couple.
