Chapter 40: Mag's Full Potential
(Mag's POV)
"Prepare to die, Garmadon girl." The tail pierced my stomach. I fell to the ground holding my bleeding chest. The blood drenched my hand and suit. The room felt so cold. The air blew in my face. I saw Lady Destructia lunging at my family. She snuck up behind Ally and bit her neck and Ally screamed as she pulled her into black. I cried. I saw Crystal screaming as Destructia stabbed her heart with a dagger. She fell to the floor dead and faded to the black. Lloyd was running away from her and screaming. She wrapped her tail around his neck and it snapped. She dropped him and he was gone. Father was fighting her, but she slit his throat. He gagged and fell down. Uncle was trying to fight back against her with his staff. She stuck a sword in his back. Our youngest brother was screaming and crying. She strangled him. Our aunt was using a sword. She was burned alive. Our grandma was being beaten. She was shot with five arrows in the heart. I couldn't breathe. My whole family was dead. "Your blood line ends here girl!" My eyes closed shut and my body froze.
"Ah!" I woke up screaming. I was freezing cold. I felt my face, it was like ice. "Mag?" I looked over to see I was in the med-room filled with everyone. Lloyd ran at me in the bed and hugged me. "I… I thought… I was… gonna… loose… you." He stuttered and sniffled as he talked. I wrapped my arms around him and nuzzled his head. "I'm not going anywhere bud," I said as I kissed the top of his head. He kept crying as I rubbed his head and hung onto him. Soon both my sisters were clinging to me too. "We thought… you were dead!" Crystal cried. How did I become the one comforting them? "I'm not dead yet sis. And neither are you." They looked up at me with confusion on their faces. "What does that mean?" Ally asked. "Nothing," I said shaking the awful dream from my head "just a nightmare I had." The girls let go, but Lloyd still clung to me like a leach. "How did you guys get out of there? How am I alive? What did I miss?" I asked. "It was a miracle," Nya said. "A what?" I don't get it. "You found your true potential!" Crystal yelled blurting out the news. "Huh, well that explains how I'm still alive," I said lifting the blankets and my shirt a little to examine the mark on my stomach. "So what was my power?" They looked at me. A few grins and smirks. "It was completely awesome…"

Mag hit the ground and was fading in and out of consciousness. "Mag!" Lloyd yelled. Lord Garmadon broke free from the snakes holding him back and ran to save his daughter. He was on his knees carefully picking her up off the ground. "Mag," he whispered "please don't die." He stroked her hair as an all out war broke out around him. "Please don't die. Please, please, please, please, please, please, don't die." He pushed the bloody hair from her face and leaned his forehead against hers. "Please," his voice grew choppy and scared "I'm sorry. I love you." He kissed her forehead. And she started to glow. Her eyes opened and they were a silver and purple. Her body was engulfed in a bright purple and white light. She floated in the air and her wound began to glow white. Garmadon stood from his knees and whipped tears from his eyes. Mag was white and bright as an angel. "What's happened!?" Crystal yelled. Cole looked to see his Mag floating. They all looked at her. "She's reached her true potential!" Cole yelled. "But what's her power?" Ally said. Mag opened her mouth and a soothing melody came out. A slow and steady beat of soft notes cascaded from her lungs. It could be called the sound of angels. "All snakes, hear to my pleas. I bend your will, to do my biding. A safe escape, for loved ones so dear to me. My heart controls your minds, give me the fangblades." She sang her commands and the snakes complied. Four different serpentine brought up one fangblade each. They had closed eyes and blissful smiles. Every snake in the cave did. "She's a siren," Molly said. "A what? I thought those were myths?" Kai said. "After everything that's happened to us, you're really going to question sirens?" Ally said raising an eyebrow at her boyfriend. "Good point," he said. "Return the fangblades to me, release your hold on my family. Retreat like the cowards you are, never return again. Hear the hypnotic call, obey my every whim. Don't betray my song, or I will sing again." Mag lowered in height and grabbed the fangblades from the snakes who happily bowed after losing them. They seemed to be in a transfixed state from Mag's song. She slowly touched the ground and walked over to her dad. She handed him the fangblades and sang again. "Return to the ship. Safely with them. Do not let these go. I trust you finally." Her voice was soothing to him. He nearly lost his mind like the snakes. But she lost her glow and she passed out to the ground. He caught her before she hit the ground, and the serpentine passed out with her. They left the cave with the four fangblades and skeletons actually cheering for them. Quit the change huh audience? "I never thought I'd say this but GO NINJA GO!" Oh you remember that right guys? Oh, that was funny! They returned to the ship and Garmadon carried Mag to the med-room. It was hours until she finally woke up. She was screaming, but awake.

"Ok, so we have the fangblades?" I asked double checking. "Yes, all four," Kai said "and we can destroy them in Torch Fire mountain by to…" "Actually," I said. "Yes," Cole said. "There's a better way to make sure they're unusable." I looked at my sisters and we grinned having one of our 'I know what you know' moments. "Trap them in the Orb."
