Chapter 42
A Not-So Normal Week

.:Violet:.

"Cole!" All five of them turned their heads to Cole's father who came walking in with his walking stick. She felt Cole push the Blade Cup into her hands and he pushed passed the four of them. She turned around with the boys to look at their leader and his father.

"I saw it all son." Lou said softly and he hugged his son. Violet smiled for Cole. It must be great for him that his father forgives him and accept him for who he is. She knew that it would be any moment until Cole would unlock his true potential. So that means Kai would be the remaining and last one.

"Y-You saw me dance?"

"More importantly, I saw you fight. Those Serpentine were up to no good, trying to steal the show and I saw you stand up for what is right. I was wrong… I shouldn't have pushed you so hard to follow in my footsteps. Everyone is born with a special talent inside and it's just waiting to get out. And you were born to be a ninja."

"So you're not mad?"

"How can I be?" Lou asked and he pulled Cole into another tighter hug. Violet looked to her left to see Jay looking at the trophy so she gave it to him and she watched as he looked at the Fang Blade. But a cold and sinister voice was sounded to her right and she snapped her head to the direction she heard it.

"Sorry to break up this family reunion but did you know it's me, Pythor!" Pythor asked and ripped off his beard. Instantly, Cole went to their side and they all stepped in front of Lou.

"Really Pythor? You really think a small and fake beard is enough to fool us? Honestly, everyone can see you're a snake." Violet said with a small shake of her head.

"Well I didn't want you to miss out on our big show stopper." As soon as he said that, she heard a low and rumbling grinding sound and she looked to see two Constrictai snakes pushing a bunch of old light sets off the beams that spread across the ceiling. She looked at where the lights would hit and Lou was standing there. She saw panic spread through Cole's face and before she could even think, Cole had already taken off to save his dad but Violet knew he wouldn't make it. But the lights hit the ground and dust was picked up. She heard Jay, Kai and Zane cough but she didn't. Her element already has filtered the oxygen which was entering through her nose.

"Pythor took the F-Fang Blade." She heard Jay said and she groaned but she moved to the light sets which stacked in a mountain. She started to move the lights but she stopped when she saw a glowing light from underneath. Immediately, she knew Cole has unlocked his true potential. She took a step back and the stack of lights tumbled to reveal Cole pushing each off. He was glowing a soft golden colour and he was somewhat translucent. He helped his father out of the lights and Zane stated that Cole unlocked his potential because of his relationship between him and his father.

"Oh great, now I really am the last one who haven't unlocked his true potential." She heard Kai whined and she turned around to face him. He looked away with his arms crossed. Violet took off Kai's mask to reveal his handsome face and unique hair. She cupped his cheek and planted a kiss just beside his lips. "Don't tease me…"

"Then don't pout like that. It's not really an attractive look." She smiled and it got a laugh from him. She dropped her hand and looked into Kai's amber eyes. "You will unlock your True Potential in time alright?"

"But I hate being the last one. I was the last one to be a ninja, the last one to retrieve his golden weapon and now, his True Potential…"

"It's alright Kai. It will take time but it won't be too long from now."

.:A Couple Nights Later:.

Violet tried so hard not to giggle but this was priceless. She looked to Cole, Jay, Zane, Scarlett and Nya and they looked like they were about to laugh their heads off. It was only a matter of seconds until Kai noticed them. But then a loud snicker came from Cole and everyone started to laugh. Kai's expression was priceless. But she had to admit, green looked terrible on Kai. She preferred him in red. But she now knew who the Green Ninja is thanks to those images she got from the venom.

"How long have you all been watching?" The fire ninja asked and turned to fully face the six of them.

"Long enough to know what you're trying do." Violet smiled but a soft crimson blush appeared on his cheeks. It wasn't long until Scarlett found out they were together. The ninja of wind couldn't sleep and Kai happened to be on the decks and they shared a sweet kiss but of course, Scarlett wasn't fully asleep when Violet snuck out of their room of the older sibling followed and caught them red-handed.

"I thought if I tried it on, it would help me to figure out my true potential…" Kai said softly.

"Well just saying, you look terrible in green." Violet told him and this earned laughs from the others but this made Kai looked away.

"I can't really imagine anyone else wearing green, it would look odd on them." Kai grumbled.

"Come on Kai, take it off. Sensei Wu would be mad if he found out if we were in his room and moved stuff around." Scarlett wisely advised and everyone agreed. Violet turned to see Kai's ninja gi on a chair so she picked it up and threw it at him.

"Hellooo? I'm home!" Instantly, Violet's heart leapt up in delight.

"Sensei Wu!"

.::.

She absolutely hated the fact that Garmadon was here but then again, she was glad Sensei Wu was back. He accepted Scarlett on the bounty and he was proud that they all have reached their True Potential accept for Kai. Violet sighed. Ever since Garmadon was on the boat, Kai have been super suspicious and he thinks the way for him to unlock his True Potential is to beat Garmadon. Doesn't matter how many times she told him Garmadon isn't here to do anything, Kai still goes with his theory but Violet knew Wu wouldn't need his help unless it was something important but then again, if the Serpentine is going to raise the Great Devourer, Garmadon have every right to kill the beast. But his four arms alarmed her a lot.

What the heck, that isn't the only thing that creeps her out. He eats these weird bugs! She nearly puked on their first meal together. He sunbaths when it's storming and she can hear him from the boys' room making a lot of racket. But this is Garmadon's first time seeing her. She was invisible every time she encountered Garmadon but of course, Garmadon didn't know that.

"Vi, concentrate!" Violet jumped when her sister shouted.

"Sorry Scarlett…"

"You better be. Now again."

Violet sighed but obeyed her sister. Once she concentrated, a foggy, sphere barrier formed around her. Violet watched as her sister picked up a brick in each hand and she threw one at her barrier. Immediately on first touch, it broke and Violet managed to jump to the side before it hit her shin. She didn't need Scarlett to tell her to do it again because she already did.

"Remember, your barrier will remain strong if your concentration is strong. Don't let the fact that I'm using a brick get to you. I want you to close your eyes this time and concentrate hard." Scarlett instructed and the younger sibling nodded. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard. But she knew she failed when something heavy got her foot.

"Ow! Scarlett!"

"Again."

"No, I'm not risking it." Violet complained as she held her foot.

"Then learn from your mistake and change something."

Violet let out a heavy groan and closed her eyes. This time, she focused the feeling of the barrier around her, how the wind inside was gentle and brushed against her skin. She then heard a thud and Violet opened her eyes. The brick was on the ground and she knew she had done it. Scarlett then threw the remaining four bricks and this whole time, Violet's barrier stayed up.

"Good. Now let's move onto the next technique." Scarlett announced and Violet sighed once again. "Now I'm going to teach you how to use air in physical combat. This one will be a little bit challenging. If you need control how much power into it otherwise you can seriously hurt someone more than you need to. Pretty much, you can attack people with air."

"But it's air; it's soft and it can't hurt that much. You can push people but that's it."

"Vi, this is different. First, you'll be required to create a small cyclone, a very thin one but it can't be surrounding you. Create it in front of you."

"Air is invisible."

"Only you will be able to see it. The cyclone should be as thin as you and the same height."

Violet had a difficult time doing this. Making the air around her spin was easy but creating something that small and in front of you was hard. First, she tried imagining it there but she started wondering if it was actually there or is it still her imagination. After a couple of minutes, she had managed to produce a small cyclone but it was slightly taller than her.

"Ok, I got it now."

"You took forever."

"I'm sorry but it was hard."

"And, your next objective is to strike it at me-"

"I don't think this is a good idea."

"Oi, don't interrupt me. I'll be fine; we're on water and not air so I won't die. Plus I trust you that your cyclone is small. Okay, next you have to use your arms to command where your cyclone goes. If you thrust it to the right with you right hand, it goes right but if you go left with your right hand then it should spin faster and grow bigger. Doing that is great for keeping your enemy in a single spot. If you push which ever hand in front of you, it should charge. Is your cyclone still there?"

"Yeah."

"Good, now attack me." Her sister said confidently and Violet frowned. She didn't want to hurt her sister like last time. But the purple ninja still pushed her hand out and she watched as it hit her sister. Scarlett fell back but she got up with a smile. "Good."

"I think I've done this before."

"Really? When?"

"When Kai wouldn't move out of the way after he told me Lloyd was on the ship. I had to push him away and I used my element. But it wasn't a cyclone; I just waved my hand and that was it."

"Oh. Well let's move onto the next technique."

"Not now." Violet heard someone interrupted them and she turned her head to the sound. She saw Kai running up the stairs from the bottom of the bounty with Sensei Wu, Garmadon, Nya and Jay in toll.

"What's wrong?"

"Zane's falcon spotted something." And Kai grabbed her hand and rushed her up the stairs. She looked over her shoulder to see Scarlett smirking at her as she walked up the stairs. When Violet got into the bridge, she saw that Cole and Zane were already there.

"Looks like Pythor is at the Temple of Fire." Nya announced as she rushed over to the large keyboard and started to input some codes.

"So that's mean the third Fang Blade is there." Kai concluded and Violet looked back to the screen to see a small window open viewing what the falcon is seeing. She could see four snakes carrying a cage with Lloyd looking utterly defeated. His small hands were firmly clasped around the bars and his head rested on the bars as well but his hood was pulled down passed his eyes.

"And Lloyd." Garmadon added.

"Isn't the Fire Temple where Kai and Garmadon faced each other for the first time?" Jay asked.

"I was there too don't forget."

"But if my memory served us correct, you cheated last time." Kai snapped in Garmadon's direction and Violet sighed.

"How did I cheat? I was attacked by someone who was invisible."

"Yeah, umm…. That was me." The purple ninja said sheepishly and she rubbed the back of her neck. Garmadon shot her a glance before turning his attention back on Kai who already had a backup sentence.

"Yeah but you had ten against one!"

"But you needed backup from your sensei and a girl!"

"Stop it!" Cole shouted from the steering wheel. "Pull your acts together. We're not here to argue. We're here to discuss how we're going to get Lloyd and the Fang Blade so stop acting like teat-sucking babies and act your age."

Sorry about that chapter, it isn't one of the best. It was my dad's birthday weekend I had lots to plan for him so I didn't have enough time to write this chapter up and I rushed it. But I hoped it's alright. Please leave a review :)
