Chapter 35: Kai's Cloudy Thinking
(Mag's POV)
I was on the deck training. Crystal was right; we couldn't let the Devourer be awakened. And to do that I had to be ready. I was whacking a dummy with my staff when Cole came out. "Hey there fiancé," he said walking up to me. "You really wanna flirt with me while my father's still on board?" I said smiling. "He's brushing, or filing, his teeth," Cole said. "So we're finally alone," I said wrapping my arms around his neck. "I guess we are," he said surrounding my waist with his arms. Our eyes closed and our heads slowly tilted in. "Cole! Zane's falcon found the serpentine, and they have Lloyd with them!" Jay yells out of nowhere ruining our moment. OH COME ON! WHY DOES EVERYONE NOT WANT US TO KISS! I mentally scream, but my thoughts are on Lloyd. I raced to the monitors while Cole scolded Kai, who apparently tried to beat my father to no prevail. On the screen was Lloyd in a cage. I will gut Pythor and use his blood to paint the words on his tombstone. "Lloyd," Ally whispered. "He'll be fine," I said grabbing her hand. I zoned out after that, Lloyd's face in my mind. Then my mind traveled to our youngest brother. We'll need to retrieve him. I suppose after we get Lloyd and the fangblades we can go to their house in the woods. We'll need to pick all 3 of them up to get rid of the fangblades permanently. Thank goodness grandma taught us some alchemy or this plan might not work, but it will be tricky. "That's the fire temple where Kai and Lord Garmadon first faced off," Jay said. I was snapped back to reality when I realized Kai and father were fighting, again. "I remember someone cheating last time we fought." "And I remember someone needing their Sensei to save them." I groaned. "Guys, for the sake of the fangblade and Lloyd, try to get along," Cole said. Then Ally came in between the two enemies, "Kai, you remember that threat I told everyone about having part in hurting Lloyd. It still applies to you," she turned to father "and it applies to you too dad. Anyone who hurts Lloyd gets their hair and eyebrows shaved off in their sleep." Kai backed away knowing that Ally was perfectly serious about shaving his hair and eyebrows. "That's what I thought," she said grinning. "It seems the temple has grown unstable since we've last been there," Nya said checking the monitors. "The environment of the volcano has become an extremely combustible environment," Ben said checking the temple. "Oh great, just what I love! A highly combustible environment filled with snake, ABOUT TO BLOW UP!" Jay freaked. I grabbed his suit's collar and shook him, "Get a hold of yourself and be a man!" I let go and he fell on the ground sitting. "Thanks I needed that," he said holding his head. "Since the volcano is too easy to erupt with force, we cannot afford to use our weapons," Ally said. "Where are our weapons?" Cole asked. "And why is Lord Garmadon not here?" Kai said racing out of the room. "Kai wait," Uncle said, but Kai was gone already.
(Ally's POV)
We raced after Kai, Nya getting there first. "What's Kai doing?" I asked. "He's trying to defeat Lord Garmadon to unlock his true potential!" She said frantically. "Why would he think that?" Jay asked. "Because he thinks he's the green ninja!" Oh heck to the no, I am gonna hit his head so hard he forgets who he is. "Stand back," Cole used his true potential to break down the door. We entered the room to see Kai on top of dad with his arms up. He's just rambling, asking if he's reached his true potential. "Kai," I yelled at him "there is no honor in taking on an opponent who has no desire to harm you!" "You cannot defeat one who doesn't try to win," Uncle said. "I wasn't going to harm you boy," dad said with a creepy smile "I was merely fetching your weapons." "But you were trying to steal them…" "I asked him to get them," Uncle said "perhaps it is best you don't reach your full potential, less someone gets hurt." "Kai," I said walking up to him "listen carefully. Just because one is thrusted upon a destiny they do not wish to accept, does not mean that their heart is as dark as the empty space in your head. Get your priorities straight!" I left the room without another thought except that Kai needed to think clearly and not let personal ambition endanger my brother and the mission. He is so frustrating, a hothead! I went back to the room once it was cleared of people to retrieve my axe. If Kai doesn't think clearly soon, I don't think I can date him anymore.
