I'm sorry if I haven't done any Kai's POV lately but I have no idea what's going on in his dumb head to make him think all this things. So that's why I've been sticking to Violet's. The other reason I made it that Jay got hurt since it's always Violet and Kai, I thought I should mix it up a bit.

Chapter 44
Erupting Flames

.:Violet:.

Sadness dropped in her stomach when the others pulled her back to the exit and despite her thrashing to save Lloyd, Kai and the Fang Blade. Once she did get out of their grips, the entrance to the volcano crumbled and that was it. There was no way in apart from the top of the volcano.

"Come on, we need to leave before the volcano erupts and I'm positive that the lava will seep through that blockage." Cole yelled and he grabbed her arm and ran. This time instead of thrashing around, Violet followed after him. But she wasn't the only one thrashing, Garmadon was worst.

"Lloyd is still in there!" He shouted and Zane and Jay tried to console him will dragging him away but Jay limped heavily.

"Take care of Garmadon, I'll help Jay." She told Cole and he nodded and let go of her hand. He took the both of Garmadon's arms that Jay was holding and Violet got one of Jay's arms and placed it over her. Their pace increased and in no time, they reached the temple's steps. They all ran down and raced to the Bounty. Nya and Scarlett must have seen them because the Bounty's engine fired up and hovered above the ground. Wu got onto the anchor and he held out a hand to help Jay on. Violet then got on and help Cole and Zane bring the thrashing Garmadon on.

"We have to go back!" He shouted.

"Lloyd will be safe, Kai's in there with him… We just have to give them faith." Violet sighed and she turned around to climb the chain. When she got up, Wu and Jay were there. But she heard an explosion behind her and she whipped her head around to see the volcano finally erupted.

"Kai!" Violet then heard Nya shouted as she climbed down the stairs and to the rails, searching for Kai. Violet sighed and leaned against the mask. Not only they lost the Blade, they lost Kai and Lloyd. Her violet eyes were glued on the volcano still. She hoped that they would come out and proved her wrong.

"Violet?" She turned her head around to see her sister.

"They have to come out."

"But… they might be gone."

"Give them time… They have to come out." She repeated and she felt Scarlett's hand on her shoulder. "You know Lloyd is the Green Ninja correct? Is that why you wanted me to protect him when he was still with the Serpentine?" She asked quietly.

"Yes, I did."

"If that's the case then Lloyd will make it out and the only way he can do that is with Kai's help. You even told me that Kai unlock his true potential by realising his main role wasn't to become the green ninja but to protect the green ninja himself. He had tried to prove himself to being something he wasn't and when he learnt, he didn't need to push it. That's what you told me." Then the pieces glued together in her mind. "From the information you gave me, Kai should realize that he need to go and save Lloyd and unlock his true potential so he should live through this blast like Cole did with those sets of lights."

"I wasn't there for that."

"But am I correct?"

"The future itself can change Violet! Who can survive a lava explosion?"

"Kai's the fire ninja remember?" Violet tried hard to prove her sister and herself wrong. Kai and Lloyd can't be dead. This repeated in her end.

"How did you know about Lloyd?"

"Remember how I got the staff's venom again? I actually got these images and I think they have something to do with the future. One of them Lloyd was much older and wearing the Green Ninja Gi."

Silence rained over the bounty and everyone was still looking at the volcano. Then another boom was sounded and thick, black clouds of smokes rose from the volcano and rocks with lava covering them shot out. But there was on that looked different. Instead of brown with bits of glowing orange, this rock was glowing red. It got closer to the Bounty and Violet saw from the corner of her eyes that everyone backed away but she could see two figures in the glowing orb. That's when she saw Kai and Lloyd.

"It's Kai and Lloyd!" She announced with a smile and she looked at Scarlet. "I told you so."

"About what?"

"The thing we were talking about before."

"I don't recall anything about that."

"Scarlett, you're just being mean!"

"Love you too little sis." Scarlett teased and winked at her. The orb landed on the decks and Kai stopped glowing and he released Lloyd from his arms. Violet was about to go up and hug him when his eyes closed and he collapsed. Violet quickly went to his side and Nya was on the other side and helped him up. His eyes opened again and he rubbed his head.

"I've unlock my True Potential right?" He asked and Violet let out a laugh.

"Yes you did." She smiled.

"Come on, let's all head into the bridge."

.:Kai:.

He honestly didn't know what happened back there. He was about to save the Fang Blade when Lloyd called for him to help and instantly, something clicked. It was like a light bulb and he just knew what to do. There were no words how to explain it but he somehow knew Lloyd was the destined Green Ninja. It does make sense in a way: he's the First Spinjitzu Master's grandson; the Green Ninja couldn't be any of them because the Green Ninja controls all elements and not just one and he was Lord Garmadon son. Sure this doesn't make sense but an epic battle starts with a history. He climbed the stairs last with Violet in front of him. Everyone else was in but them. Suddenly, she stopped in front of him and she threw her arms around his neck.

"You idiot and lucky son of a gun!" She exclaimed and he was taken back. He looked down at her and wrapped his arms around her smaller body. "Everyone thought you were dead! I thought you were dead but I kept telling myself you have to be alive…"

"I'm sorry but I did say I got this didn't I?"

"So you finally figured it out huh? Not to save the Fang Blade and become the Green Ninja but to save and protect the Green Ninja?"

"H-How did you know?"

"Scarlett told you she knew how everyone unlocked their True Potential. When I first saw her, we sat down and chat and that was one of the things she told me." Violet told him but he just smiled and held her close to his body. He didn't know why but it felt right for Violet to be in his arms. She was the perfect height for him to hug her without any awkward heights or width. He could just curl around her. He was truly one lucky guy. "Come on, we should head in."

When they arrived in the bridge. Everyone's eyes were on them. Kai then saw Garmadon made his way over to him with Lloyd underneath one of his many arms.

"Thank you Kai." He thanked.

"You're welcome."

"Kai, how did you know how to unlock your True Potential and what about the fang blade?" Jay asked him from the chair he was on where Zane was bandaging his ankle.

"I know when I had to make a choice. I wanted the Fang Blade so badly to prove that I was good enough to become the Green Ninja but then I figured it out. All of my training to become the best ninja wasn't the preparation to become the Green Ninja but… it was to protect him."

He saw shock washed over their faces except for Violet, Scarlett and Lloyd. It seemed he didn't get it. He then looked at Garmadon who took a couple steps away with a distraught look on his face. Kai realised this must be hard for Garmadon, to know that to make Ninjago his own image, he have to kill Lloyd, his own son. He remembered Wu telling them that Garmadon wanted to turn Ninjago into his own image so badly but while Garmadon have been his roommate, Kai saw how much Garmadon deeply cared for Lloyd. Same goes for Lloyd. In order to save Ninjago, he needs to kill his own father. Lloyd mentioned how Garmadon was his role model while growing up and to suddenly realise you need to kill your role model from when you were a child… Kai felt sorry for the two.

Everyone must have caught on what it means. Violet moved forward and took her golden bow off her back and placed it in front of Lloyd. The weapon then floated with a soft purple and green aura around it. Kai walked forward and did the same with his weapon. Instead, it was red and green. Cole placed his scythe in front and Zane placed both his weapons and Jay's nunchucks in front. All of them glowed and a bright green light circled around Lloyd.

"Lloyd is the Green Ninja." He heard Wu announced from the wheel. "I've always thought it would be one of you five but it now makes sense. Since you're chosen to protect the five Golden weapons, you would also have to protect the Green Ninja."

"So that means…"

"That battle lines have been drawn brother… Sadly, our family has only become more divided. Before it was brother verse brother and now its son verse father."

.:Violet:.
A Couple Nights Later

"Remind me why you dragged me and Kai along with you?" Violet asked her sister as walked down the aisle of clothes. The purple ninja wasn't a big fan of shopping and she can tell Kai wasn't a big fan either.

"Because you barely have any nice clothes and I want your boyfriend to have an opinion too." At least, Violet felt a small blush rising to her cheeks. She didn't know why but when someone calls them a couple, it sounded right but when other people say boyfriend-girlfriend, it seems she and Kai aren't there yet. She looked to Kai who looked bored.

"I'm sorry about Scarlet."

"It's alright. It would also be nice to see you dress up." He said with a smile and she smiled back at him.

"Ooh! Violet, this one is so cute!" Violet looked at the fitted halter top with crossover straps with a flowing skirt. Scarlett then turned the dress around and Violet already made up her mind.

"No, I'm not wearing that."

"Why not, it's cute!"

"It's too revealing. It's too short and who in Ninjago wants to wear a dress that exposes their whole back? I can't wear a bra without looking like an idiot in that dress."

"Fine, I'll get one for myself." Scarlett poked her tongue at her and Violet could only sigh at her sister's behaviour. She was starting to think her sister had a split-personality. One day she could be serious and another day she'll be acting like she's fourteen and childish.

"Hey Violet, this one is kind of nice." She head Kai said and she turned around to see him looking at a dress. The dress had a dark feminine floral print and the piece had an off-the-shoulder design with a flared skirt that ended a couple inches above her knees.

"You don't have bad taste Kai." Violet was surprised to see Scarlett behind when she did just saw her down the aisle. "You must try it on Violet!"

Before Violet could say her opinion, Scarlett already took a size eight of the dress and pulled her hand to the changing rooms. The older sister opened a stall and pushed Violet in with the dress.

"Make sure you come out and let me see it too!"

The ninja heave a sigh at her sister's behaviour but nevertheless, she stripped from her clothes and put on the dress. She hated dress and everyone knew that. All Violet need is jeans, shorts, tops and jackets. That's her wardrobe but now Scarlett's here, some of that is gone and is replaced with skirts and dresses. Once she was done, she evaluated the dress. She didn't like the fact is showed her shoulders and she keep thinking the dress is going to fall off and the dress shows too much of her curves.

"Are you done yet, we want to see." She heard Scarlett whined.

"Alright, I'm done." Violet opened the door and she saw Kai next to her sister. She felt embarrassed.

"We're buying that! It looks really good on you. What do you think Kai?" Scarlett then asked Kai. Violet looked at Kai and wanted for his opinion.

"I-I.. You… You look really beautiful." Kai said with a red hue adorning his cheeks.

"Thanks." She said and looked down with a small smile creeping onto her lips.
