Later in the Night at Pulverize Peak Town- In the Jail Cell of Carlo:
"I will NOT help you people with ANYTHING! You come here asking for help after locking me in this prison! What NERVE! What AUDACITY!" Carlo yelled out from his jail cell, as he stood sitting on a wooden bench that was held up by chains on the wall that was opposite of the bars, with his arms crossed.
"Carlo, stop being a child right now man! The fate of the world is in the balance for Pete's sake," Marcell said, as she stood in front of Carlo's jail cell.
Lloyd, Raven, Sensei Garmadon, Sensei Wu, and Flare were in the room with Marcell, as they let her try to reason with Carlo.
"I don't care about the fate of the world or WHATEVER! I am in prison! PRISON! You already caught me and threw me in here, what more do you want from me?! LEECHES I SAY! LEECHES!" Carlo yelled out, as he kept his arms crossed and turned his head away from Marcell while he pouted.
"You are acting so immature right now Carlo!" Marcell said in frustration, as she placed her hand on her forehead.
"I can act as I wish! It doesn't make a difference to me now that I'm in here!" Carlo yelled again, as he returned to looking away and pouting.
Before Marcell could yell at him again, Sensei Wu decided to intervene and said, to Carlo,
"We are sorry that you are in the predicament that you are in Carlo. But maybe we can talk to the head of police here so that your sentence will be lenient. But we need your help. Can you please tell us where Time Sensei is?"
Carlo took a moment to think about it, but then he looked towards Sensei Wu with an annoyed expression and replied,
"I'm not going to help you people. Look for Time Sensei ON YOUR OWN!"
Carlo turned his back to the others, with his legs crossed, on the bench.
"Carlo-" Marcell was going to argue again, but Sensei Garmadon stood in front of her, and blocked her from Carlo.
"Enough Marcell. He doesn't want to talk, and we can't force him," Sensei Garmadon said, and Marcell signed.
"Fine Carlo. If you don't want to talk, than don't. But if Darkness takes over the world, I'll be the one blaming YOU for it," Marcell said, as she turned and walked away.
"Carlo, are you really not going to help us?" Sensei Garmadon asked, but Carlo gave no reply.
"Come everyone. We've been here long enough. We can't waste anymore time," Sensei Wu said, as he also exited the room, along with Sensei Garmadon, Flare, and Raven.
"Are you coming?" Raven asked Lloyd, and he replied,
"In a minute."
Raven nodded, and then she exited the room. Lloyd looked back at Carlo, and he saw that his back was still turned towards him. He walked up to Carlo's cell, as he placed one hand on the bar and signed softly.
"Carlo, it's me Lloyd," Lloyd said, and Carlo only slightly turned his head, but he didn't look at him.
"Just hear me out, please," Lloyd said, as Carlo stood silent, which Lloyd took as an 'okay.'
Then Lloyd spoke, "Carlo, I know we're not on good terms, especially since you kidnapped Raven and Marcell, and then we threw you in jail. But can you blame us for throwing you in prison after you kidnapped Marcell and R... my girlfriend."
Carlo turned his head more towards Lloyd when he heard him refer to Raven as 'girlfriend.' Then Lloyd continued,
"Look, I know how it is to be in prison. I was a prisoner of the Serpentine once before, and I can say that it wasn't very pleasant, but I knew that I deserved it by making the mistake of releasing them in the first place."
Carlo turned his head a little more towards Lloyd, as he kept a stoic expression on his face while occasionally looking down and then back up.
"You being in prison now is your own fault Carlo, and I'm sorry that I had to point that out now. But, there are other people who don't deserve to be in prison. They are the ones who haven't done anything wrong worth being incarcerated, but with Darkness trying to take over, they may pay the price for his crimes," Lloyd said, and Carlo breathed in and out, as he looked towards the ground.
After a moment of silence, Carlo turned away from Lloyd's direction. Lloyd signed, and then he said,
"Please Carlo. I can't let Darkness win against us. I don't want to be separated from Raven again... forever. I don't want people to suffer anymore. My whole team is almost broken, and some of them may not survive... Raven and I need our powers back so that we can fight and stop him from hurting anyone else. If we can't get our powers back... then I'll fight Darkness alone. Even if I won't survive, at least everyone else can escape."
After another moment of silence, Lloyd turned away from Carlo's cell with his eyes downcast, and said,
"Goodbye Carlo."
Right before Lloyd made it to the exit door, Carlo called out,
"Lloyd."
Lloyd turned around, as he saw Carlo standing up in his cell and walking towards the bars as he was writing something on a piece of paper. As Lloyd stood a foot away from the cell, Carlo reached out his hand with the paper and said,
"The coordinates to Time Sensei's keep are on this. Just dial them into a GPS or a digital map or whatever you guys have. She's not too far from here."
Lloyd took the paper and read the coordinates, he also saw a small map with an 'X' on one part of it.
"Just in case if you didn't have the digital map, I marked it in a rough drawing," Carlo said, as he held onto the bars.
Lloyd looked up at Carlo in surprise, but then he smiled gratefully and said,
"Thank you Carlo. But... what changed your mind?"
Carlo signed and replied, "Because I'm not that bad of a guy that I would want innocent people to suffer... and... I used to have a girl who I loved, like how you have Raven. We were married and lived splendidly... until I lost her... I wouldn't want that to befall you, young ninja... Go and find Time Sensei. Tell her that I'm sorry for chasing her around like a mad man."
Lloyd nodded and said, "I'll let her know. Thanks again."
Carlo saluted Lloyd and said, "Sure thing man. Go save the World."
Lloyd saluted back, and then he quickly exited the room. Carlo returned to his bench, as he sat down and twirled the pen he had in his hand.
'And he never wondered how I got the pen and paper,' Carlo thought as he snickered to that thought.
After Lloyd showed the others the map and coordinates, they went in the Bounty as they set the coordinates in the computer. Then the Bounty set sail into the sky, as they headed towards Time Sensei's keep.
In the Bounty:
"Carrie?" Serpana called to her 'sister' general, as she entered a room in the Bounty that was set up for the Viporeon Generals to relax in.
Carrie was sitting in front of a desk with a laptop set before her as she was continuously typing.
"Yesss, Serpana. What isss it that you need?" Carrie asked Serpana.
Serpana entered the room, as Vena also entered the room since she was following her.
"We need to check on the Ninja and SSSamurai. What are you doing?" Serpana asked Carrie.
"I am sssending a messssage to Tempura. I am letting her know what happened to the Ninja and SSSamurai," Carrie said, as she continued typing.
"You are sssending a messssage to Tempura? How?" Vena asked.
"By sssending a messssage to Violet. She hasss a laptop that can receive messssages. Alssso, I believe Violet and the Brown Ninja should know what'sss going on," Carrie replied.
"Good idea Carrie," Serpana said.
"But I do need to tell Tempara sssomething elssse," Carrie said, as she sent the message through email.
"What issss it?" Vena asked.
"It'sss not sssomething to truly worry about," Carrie said, as she stood up and closed her laptop.
In Volcanic Kingdom:
"Dareth," Violet called, as she and Tempura were reading the email that Carrie sent.
"Yes my dear?" Dareth said, as he leaned on the edge-railing that the laptop that Tempura and Violet were reading was set on.
Violet, Tempara, and Dareth were on the roof of the castle of Volcanic kingdom, that was surrounded by a stone edge-railing to prevent anyone from falling off. King Arun was also on the roof, as he looked out towards the far forest around his kingdom to see a large army of lizarians waiting to attack. The moon was high in the sky above the kingdom, as King Arun examined the lizarians carefully so that he would be ready to battle with them. The Verpentine army stood in front of the Volcanic castle, ready for when the lizarians decided to attack.
Violet turned the laptop screen towards Dareth, as she put her hand on the back of his neck so that he could look at the screen. Dareth gasped after he read the message, and then Violet released the back of his neck.
"My friends are in trouble... I need to head back to them. I need to help my fellow Ninja," Dareth said.
"But what about the Volcanic Kingdom? They need to be protected from the lizariansss," Tempara asked, and Dareth rubbed the back of neck and said,
"Oh yeah..."
"Don't worry about my kingdom. I'll lead the Serpentine and Viporeons to fight off these monsters," King Arun said, without looking towards them, as his cape blew in the wind which made him look fierce and awesome.
"Are you sure your majesty?" Violet asked, as she closed her laptop and held it to her side.
"I am very sure. You three go ahead and help the Ninja... as well as my daughter and my wife," King Arun said, as he jumped up on the edge-railing, although he still wasn't looking towards them.
"We will, King Arun," Violet said, as she took a bow, as well as Dareth and Tempara.
"Then let's head out!" Dareth said, as he, Violet, and Tempara headed towards the aerocycle that was parked on the opposite side of the roof.
"Uh, how are all of us going to fit on that?" Dareth asked.
"There's an extra compartment that you can open in the back of the aerocycle that can be extended to create an extra seat," King Arun said, hearing their conversation.
Dareth, Violet, and Tempara were able to open the compartment from the back and create the extra seat.
"How did you know that King Arun?" Dareth asked the king.
"I've visited Aeroplane many times before, and with Malentha and Flare I needed the extra room on the aerocycle," King Arun said, as he held up his hand and sword formed before him, made of shadows.
Dareth, Violet, and Tempara gasped when they saw that, and King Arun turned towards them and smiled and said,
"You guys should hurry on to the Ninja."
Violet, Dareth, and Tempara shook their head and nodded, and then they jumped up on the aerocycle. Violet stood in the front, Dareth stood behind her, and Tempara stood in the back, which the back compartment was more like a cart where the person(or Viporeon in this case) would stand instead of sit.
"Let's Roll!" Dareth said, and then Violet drove off.
"Be safe heroes," King Arun said, and then he turned towards where the lizarians were.
He noticed that the lizarians were getting more aggressive since they were howling and screeching at the Verpentine that were ahead.
'They're getting ready to strike... Foolish little creatures... They have no idea who they're dealing with...' King Arun thought, as he smirked and stood his ground with his shadow sword.
Sorry for taking awhile in posting this. I usually post this quick, but I had a lot of stuff to do recently. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. ;)
