I decided to post this chapter now, since I will be busy tomorrow. Enjoy.

Darkness, Overlord, Raven:

As they flew away from the battleground, Raven continued to look back where Lloyd was. She was able to hear him apologize and say that he would find her, and that gave her some comfort, although she felt bad since she could feel Lloyd's pain in his words.

"Don't fret about him dear girl. He's strong enough to survive, although his will is inconveniently strong too," Darkness said, looking ahead.

Raven looked towards him with some anger, as she wiggled out of his grasp and jumped off of the dark dragon.

"Oh, that wasn't very smart dear girl," Darkness said with a smile.

"Shall I retrieve her?" The Overlord asked.

"Not yet. Let her lose some energy," Darkness replied.

Raven was able to use some of her powers to land safely with wind and sound. She started running back towards where Lloyd was for awhile, although it was difficult since she could feel herself getting tired faster from the dark ropes around her. Then, as she jumped over a log, something hooked onto the rope on her back, and she was pulled up high into the air.

"AAAAHHH!" Raven yelled out when she was pulled up into the air, and then she stopped when she came nearly face-to-face with Darkness.

"Hello little fish. Had a nice swim?" Darkness said, holding onto a black fishing rod that he used to catch Raven.

Raven growled at him with much fury in her eyes.

"Oh! Look at that. The pretty little fish is upset. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll see Lloyd again," Darkness said, as he brushed his hand across Raven's face to move some of her hair back in place.

Then Raven became sad when she heard Lloyd's name, and she closed her eyes and lowered her head.

"Aw, now now dear child. No need to be so sad... I know! I'll show you what I've been working on in Ninjago city. Maybe then you won't feel so bad," Darkness said with a smirk, as he placed Raven next to him and held onto the back of the ropes to keep her steady, as the fishing rod disintegrated.

"Let's go!" Darkness said to the Overlord in a deeper voice then when he spoke to Raven.

"Yes, Master," Overlord said, as he took off flying towards Ninjago city.

However, when Darkness fished for Raven and held her in mid-air, someone was walking through the forest when they noticed this. He hid himself as he looked on in surprise to see that Darkness had Raven in his possession.

'No... this can't be. I thought Lloyd was protecting her...' Ryan thought, as he saw Darkness fly off on the Overlord with Raven.

Ryan jumped up on top of a tall tree, and he saw where Darkness was going. Then he turned towards the opposite direction with some frustration, as he whispered, with subtle anger,

"Lloyd! She wasn't supposed to be caught!"

Ryan teleported away, and he kept himself hidden when he noticed that trucks with Lizarians were driving away.

During this time:

Sensei Wu, Misako, and Dr. Julien were able to make it to where Lloyd and Sensei Garmadon were. They ran towards them, as Sensei Garmadon intercepted them before they could reach Lloyd since he was still shaken up from being injured so badly, and he was sitting on the ground.

"What happened?" Sensei Wu asked.

"I'll explain in a minute. Dr. Julien, please help Lloyd. His arm is broken and he's badly bruised. I don't know what else is broken," Sensei Garmadon said.

"Oh my goodness!" Dr. Julien said as he quickly walked towards Lloyd to help him.

"What?! A broken arm! What happened to him?" Misako asked her husband in much worry and concern.

"Darkness," Sensei Garmadon said.

Misako and Sensei Wu widened their eyes in surprise and shock.

"No... is he okay? You know, mentally?" Misako asked.

Garmadon signed and said, without looking directly at Misako, "Darkness tried to break him, and although he didn't break on the battlefield, I think Raven being taken is taking it's toll on him now."

Misako gasped and Sensei Wu shook his head sadly when they heard that Raven was taken by Darkness.

"He used Silva and, as Marcell told me, Kerrie to distract us. He was after Raven this whole time, and he finally got her," Sensei Wu said.

"What do we do? We can't let Darkness have Raven for long," Misako asked.

Sensei Garmadon replied, "Your right my dear. But Lloyd isn't in good shape right now, and it may take a while for his arm to heal."

"Not to worry Sensei Garmadon. I have two healing vials from Flare and Christa. It should heal Lloyd in no time," Dr. Julien said, as he took out one of the vials from his lab coat pocket.

"Oh thank goodness. His arm should heal in no time," Misako said, and then she noticed that Lloyd remained silent the whole time while looking down.

"What happened to Lloyd's arm?"

Misako, Garmadon, Wu, Dr. Julien, and Lloyd looked towards where the voice came from, and they saw Sensei Reine and King Terrin approaching them. Sensei Reine was the one who spoke, and when Lloyd saw that it was the King and Queen, he turned his face away and kept his back towards them. Dr. Julien noticed Lloyd's gesture, but he continued working on his wounds.

"Your majesties," Sensei Wu said, but Sensei Garmadon took a step forward as Wu fell silent.

Sensei Garmadon said, "King Terrin, Sensei Reine... This may be difficult to take in, but... Darkness came to take Raven, and I was the first to challenge him, but when he overwhelmed me, Lloyd was able to step in on time to save me. However, during that battle, Darkness revealed that he had revived the Overlord, and he made him watch over Raven as he and Lloyd fought... Although Lloyd fought with all of his might, even after Darkness had broken his arm, he wasn't able to defeat him and... he took her."

Sensei Reine took a quick intake of breath as she placed her hand over her mouth in sad surprise. King Terrin closed his eyes as he breathed in a full breath and slowly breathed out through clenched teeth. Reine closed her eyes, as her hand moved up to the side of her head in stress and she whispered,

"My baby..."

Terrin heard her, and he took a step closer to Reine as he wrapped his arms around her to comfort her. Then Terrin looked around the forest clearing that they were in more clearly, and he saw that it was a mess: trees were broken down in half and chiseled in pieces, the grass was burned and charred, the ground at certain areas was cracked and indented by a strong force, and there were some holes around the ground and large claw marks not too far from them.

"King Terrin," Sensei Garmadon said, as Terrin turned towards him with a stoic expression.

Then Garmadon bowed respectfully and said, "Please your highness. Although asking for your forgiveness maybe farfetched now, I do ask that you please understand. Lloyd tried his hardest to fight Darkness back. He did all that he could and used all the strength he had to fight him back. Please King Terrin. Have mercy on my son. If you wish to unleash your wrath, then I-"

"Where is he?" King Terrin interrupted Sensei Garmadon, as he looked at him with some surprise to his question.

Terrin couldn't see where Lloyd was, considering that Wu, Garmadon, and Misako stood next to each other to block Lloyd from view. The three looked towards one another, but then they parted as they revealed the Golden-Green ninja to the King of the Viporeons.

King Terrin released his wife, as Reine stood where she was but she looked up to see what Terrin was going to do, as he walked closer to Lloyd. He stood about two feet away from Lloyd with the same stoic expression, although his eyes showed stress and sadness. Dr. Julien just finished applying the healing ointments on Lloyd, and he backed away when he saw Terrin approaching them. Terrin stood looking at Lloyd, although he was looking at his back since Lloyd had turned around.

"Lloyd," Terrin called in a neutral tone.

Lloyd's shoulders cringed a bit when he heard Terrin call his name and when he realized how close he was. Lloyd didn't turn around, but he replied in a low tone,

"Yes, your highness."

After a moment of silence, Terrin said,

"Lloyd. Turn around. I'm not going to speak to you if your back is turned."

Lloyd stood where he was, as he cringed a little more. Then King Terrin took a few steps closer to him, and placed his hand on Lloyd's shoulder and said,

"Lloyd. Just turn around. Don't be afraid of me. I'm not angry at you," Terrin said sincerely, and then he released Lloyd's shoulder and stood back a step.

Lloyd turned his head a bit, and then he breathed out, as his shoulders seemingly shivered when he stood up on his feet. The others around, besides Dr. Julien since he could see Lloyd's face, thought that he was scared until he turned around to face Terrin. Misako, Garmadon, and Wu gasped when they saw tears flowing like rivers down Lloyd's cheeks, and his eyes were filled with sorrow and pain. Reine looked at Lloyd in some surprise to see that his face not only showed sadness, but shame in himself.

Terrin looked at Lloyd with the same stoic expression, as Lloyd looked at him with the same pain-filled eyes and continuous tears with an occasional sniffle. Lloyd tried to hold back his cry so that he could talk to Terrin, but when he tried to open his mouth to speak, no sound came from his mouth. Then King Terrin shocked everyone there when he opened his arms towards Lloyd and gestured for him to 'come' with his hands. Lloyd's eyes widened in much surprise, but then they half closed, as he sniffled a few more times. Then he walked towards Terrin and almost fell into his arms as he grabbed onto him. Terrin was able to grab unto Lloyd and hold him firmly so that he wouldn't fall. Lloyd's muffled cry was heard as he let out his despair on Terrin's chest, as Terrin held onto him and closed his eyes, as he shed one tear.

Ninja, Verpentine, and Vampires:

"What? Silva came for you guys?" Marcell asked the Ninja.

"Yeah, and then she just disappeared," Jay replied.

"That's the same thing that happened with that Kerrie woman. She came to us, we rumbled, and then she disappeared," Marcell said.

Zane tensed up a bit when he heard Kerrie's name, since she broke the Falcon, and Auria stood close to him as she rubbed across his shoulders with one hand.

"Hold it up... If Kerrie came for you guys, and Silva came for us, then that means... they were just distractions," Flare said.

"Then they're real plan was to capture Raven after all," Violet said.

Everyone gasped, and then Dareth said,

"What are we waiting for? Let's go find them!"

It's a bit short, but the next one will be a little longer. This story is taking a turn isn't it?
