Cole cannot protect himself since his body given up. Feeling half asleep, using sense of hear as a tool, he heard a war cry above him. Hearing crashing and screaming colliding with agony. Quickly, it was over. Feeling a few body heat blocking the gentle breeze cutting through Cole, pairs of hands latched on his shoulders, causing Cole to stir in half consciousness.
"...y..ou...hea...r...me..." Said a faint familiar voice.
"...is...ex...haus...t..ed..." Said another familiar voice added. 'These voices. . . Kai? Zane? Jay? Are they actually. . . here with me? Urggg. . . I'm fatigued; I can't even lift my eyelids! Wake. . . up. Wake. . . UP!'
"Wake up!" Jay said. The trio encircled Cole. The flood of snakes fell unconscious from the short battle against the three. Kai kneeling on the leader right, Zane on his left, and Jay in the middle shaking the rock head from his sleep. They wanted to know if he's alright. Finally, Cole relaxed his stress and open his eyes slightly. Still blurry and blinked a few times, a three figures shadowing around him. Moaning, as he tries to push himself. He regain his vision, eyes widen to see his teammates once again.
"Hey big guy, feeling alright?" Jay said, soften his tone. He might caused Cole an headache since the exhaustion took over him.
"Ooh... my head. Huh? Guys?" Cole stuttered wryly.
"Cole! Are you 'you'?" Kai said, concerned. Cole nodded once and dropped his head back down. The Fire and Ice Ninjas helped to his feet, but still feel wary. He held his head as Zane asks his leader "Cole, I sensed your corrupted soul is still within you. It is strange. Where is your corrupted side, Cole?"
"He's still here. . . Well, we made a. . .uh deal. And Lord Garmadon was for free him from the cell in exchange to purify my mind." Cole explained. The gangs stared blankly at Cole, but Kai looked in disgust when Cole is part of this nonsense with his worst nemesis. But Zane was already knew the answer. He saw his leader was in cell. Glancing off of Cole and observed the bars carefully. The bars been bent, that's enough explanation why.
"Come on Cole, let's-"
Out of nowhere, a harsh voice captures the Ninjas attention. It was Skales holding Lord Garmadon's Mega Weapon that he confiscated from his grasp. The Ninjas was stunned, what was he planning?
"Hello, the ressst of the Ninjasss sssaving one of your member. You have fallen into my trap!" Skales shouted. Smirking evilly while the cavalry return back from the Sea of Sand aftermath. Slipped into fighting stance, included Cole how he managed at least. Skales slither close, along with the generals on his side. The Serpentine drew their weapons; swords, dual blades, axe, and even chainsaw! Until Lord Garmadon rises behind the Ninjas as he let himself pass. Immediately, the Ninjas excluded Cole, felt rage consumes their emotion for what they did to their friend. An erratic occurrence; it seems Lord Garmadon joined battle with the Ninjas.
"Why is he joining our battle?" Kai snapped, grasping tightly on his katana while lifting the edge of the sharp metal aiming directly at him.
"Because you worthless ninjas need my help. I wanted my Mega Weapon back. Under no circumstances, your teammate Cole is unable to fight. Shut up and fight! Trust me, this is bound to lead you all in doom." Garmadon stated, pulling out his secondary weapons from his back. For the Fire Ninja, disapproved Lord Garmadon support. He rose to him "You're the one that causes Cole to be in this state! Stupid!" Kai snarled and was about to spring but was stopped by Zane raising his arm as a barrier.
Lord Garmadon ignored the insults from Kai stacking him. Instead, preparing himself into battle. A son of the First Spinjitzu master, nothing cannot defeat him with the unbeatable protectors of the Green Ninja on his side. Well, only temporary.
"You will pay for this, Skales! You'll regret for treating me like trash! I overestimated you that you confiscated my Mega Weapon without my permission and have a gut to betrayed me for your selfishness. " Lord Garmadon said while he take down a few Serpentine with one swing.
"Great, this is wonderful! My worst enemy engaged into battle and we're being tagged along with him!" Kai shouted aloud.
"I say this is wonderful," Zane began "he wants his Mega Weapon. He could be an enormous help us for reaching our success. Since Cole and Garmadon made a deal to help Cole with his situation, we should do this for Cole. Remember, he is a father of the First Spinjitzu master."
"I agree with Zane," Jay budged in and added his "Cole is in horrible situation. He should take his place and maybe the snakes can't even lay a finger on lord Garmadon at least one! Beside, the unpredictable can be a BIG help Kai!" Cole heard Jay babbling of his state, but didn't argue because his fact was true.
For once, Kai didn't argue Jay reasoning. Always started the dispute with his friends and his family: Nya. The young Fire Ninja tighten his fists. The snakes closing during their reunion, Lord Garmadon repelled the snakes as he can. While they slipped into fighting stance, Zane was about to take Cole safety from here until he shook him off. He spoke up with a strange tone.
"I don't need you to guide me, White ninja!" Cole growled, shaking off Zane hands clamps on his shoulders. Zane suddenly felt a dark presence rose up within Cole. The Ninjas stiffened; the corrupted side of his has taken over. Now the side of his ambitious was to command Lord Garmadon once more. "I can fight. Lord Garmadon, what is your command?"
"Crush the snakes and help me get my Mega Weapon!" "Affirmative," Cole approved. But Kai doesn't agree with Cole new personality. He started to snapped at fiend controlling his friend "Wait, where's Cole?! Get off of his-"
"Shut up, Fire ninja! Your 'friend' is in no condition to fight. So I take his place for now." Cole interrupted with a smirk. One rouge charged to Cole and immediately reflected his assault while interrupting Kai. Cole started to fight his way through while the guys left dazed. Zane scanned Cole behavior and noticed a rhythm. How Cole switched place with another formulating a tag team. One has strength, and the other has feelings and energy required. An arbitrary decision Cole decided with.
Zane rose to Kai and Jay and whispers "My analysis that Cole and his corrupted side of his are paring together. It is temporary, just play along, we don't want him to fight us."
"What? How?! It's his body and- for heaven's sake! Can we have one Cole, not two we have to deal with? I don't want to deal with the rudeness of his." Jay squeaked. After the sentence, crossed his chest indignantly.
"We deal with you all the time with your yapping," Kai replied, making Jay scowled.
"They are helping us," Zane explains generally "Let's do it, for Cole. My theory was Cole proximity can support us... Even though it's not Cole what we know today. I guaranteed the beneficial for our team prospect defeating the Serpentine."
"Wait, so you're saying our leader Cole dark side is helping us?" Jay questioned to the Ice Ninja.
"Correct." Zane replied with a nod. Feasible with an opponent on their side and it'll be implausible with combination the Ninjas, along with the Dark Lord on their side.
"I hope you're right, Zane." Kai sighed. He made an effort to accept but regretted Lord Garmadon plot for destroying their team friendship. And now, the Ninjas sprang into action, taking down the snakes with their enemy who started the trauma. And so, the Ninjas sprang into action with Cole and Lord Garmadon on their side.
