Nobody's PV

After they got to town, Kai parked the van in the parking lot that was somewhat close to the warehouse, the mall they were in had several store condos and several people could be seen going in and out of the stores with several full bags. .

- Still no signal - said Kai to the reviewing your phone.

- Maybe the storm affected the town's antenna. Also, it is not seen that there is light here - Wu replied looking around.

- It seems so, let's go to the warehouse. Before all the food runs out -

As soon as they got to the warehouse, they could see a lot of people going in and out of the door, not to mention the long lines at the boxes. In that Wu was able to identify his brother Garmadon from the crowd, a more mature-looking man with dark brown hair, wearing a black coat with blue jeans and black boots. His right side was Misako, who of course is a teacher at the school of the village, and only gives classes for children in grade, besides also is the wife of Garmadon and sister of Wu. She was wearing a simple outfit, and her hair was a lighter brown tied in a braid.

- There is my brother. I'll see you later - Wu said as he separated from the three Smith brothers.

- Yes, of course - Kai says as he says goodbye to Mr. Wu.

- Brother, can I go see the sweets? - Nya asked her brother as she turned to see him.

- Can I go too? - Now Lloyd asked.

- Sure, just don't stray too far. And Nya, don't let Lloyd have a lot of candy, and neither will you -

- Sure -

- Awww...! But it is not fair! - Lloyd complained as he followed Nya.

When he saw his little brothers go down one of the aisles of the store, Kai was able to locate in box 2 his two friends from high school: Jay Walker and Cole Brookstone, who were the same age and were in the same classroom lessons. A Kai he still made incredible that two of them take summer work as cashiers and helpers in this store.

- How are you, ladies? - He greeted his friends while joking a bit with them and approached the counter where they were. At the moment they were already recording the prices of the products and kept them in the bags for their customers.

- Good morning to you too, Smith - Cole greeted him, a boy with a somewhat stocky body with somewhat long dark hair.

- Dude, this is crazy - said Jay, a boy with reddish brown hair, and he had some freckles on his face, in addition to being somewhat short - He's been like this all day -

- Since we opened, actually - Cole concluded as he handed a customer some bags.

- Apparently people woke up in a bad mood today - Kai said as he looked at all the people in the warehouse.

- What about you? - Jay asks him.

- A tree for little and destroy my house - he said without expression.

- Wow, are you kidding? - Cole exclaims.

- Yes, he made a huge hole in one of my father's studies -

- Is everyone okay? - Cole asked somewhat worried.

- Yes, we went down to the basement that same night -

- Thank goodness -

At that time, the young Zane Julien , pale blond hair combed up and back, came in with his formal clothes was a buttoned up white sweatshirt, jeans with a light gray and a white tennis shoes. He was also one of the best friends of Kai, Cole and Jay, the four of them have been friends since elementary school, and Zane was arguably the smartest of the bunch. In that he located his friends and approached them.

- How are you, Zane? - Kai greeted him in a friendly tone.

- Somewhat good, but very busy now -

- What happened? -

- The generator at my father's pharmacy was damaged during last night's storm and with the blackout we suffered -

- Have you already told your father? - Jay asked as he charged a customer.

- I couldn't, the phones don't work, and I couldn't get in touch with my father from my phone, there was no signal all day. Besides, he left town to go to the city due to something that happened in the hospital, I will be only a few days apparently. Also without light I had to close the pharmacy early -

At that Cole snorted - Your generator is not the only one affected, here one of ours was also damaged, only the one that keeps the food frozen and the one that feeds the light in the back of the charging place works -

- The age of caverns, huh? - Jay mentioned something joking.

Right at that moment, Kai noticed the girl he liked in box 5. She was Skylor Amber, she was a year younger than Kai, but they were in the same class. He also started to like her from elementary school, and being the babysitter of his younger brothers he was able to see her very often. But apparently he never asked her to be his girlfriend, they just remained friends. Her hair was long a red-haired color tied in a ponytail.

- I did not think Skylor be here too - said Kai as he continued staring at the red head.

- Her and Pixal. They have been working here for three days, but only temporarily - Cole explained.

At that Pixal Borg, a young woman the same age as Skylor, walked past the boys.

- Hello guys - I greet you quickly while carrying some boxes, it was a girl with light silver gray hair, sometimes she attracted the attention of many people in high school, but she did not care, now for the moment she had a tail held raised.

- Hello, Pix - the four boys greeted at the same time.

- Hey, wait - Zane stopped her - I'll help you, I bet they're a bit heavy -

- Oh thank you Zane - she thanked politely as Zane carried some boxes.

- Where am I taking them? -

- Hall 3 -

- Okay, see you guys later - said goodbye to his friends as he followed Pixal.

- Yes, bye - the three answered at the same time as they said goodbye to their blond friend.

- Dude, when do you plan to do it? - Asked in an interrogation mode Cole was doing with Kai.

- What? - Confused, he looked up with Cole raised one of his eyebrows.

- Oh come on, man. You know what I'm talking about -

- To declare yourself with Skylor - Jay answered sounding very smiling.

- Please come on. We're just friends - Kai said sounding not so convinced he was with them.

- Dude, Skylor Amber has liked you since elementary school, and besides, Zane already declared himself to Pixal when we started the summer. And she is the babysitter of your two brothers not to mention that she hangs out with our group -

- They know that she is a girl who takes her time, just like me. I don't want to make her feel insecure about herself –

- You used to flirt with her since high school, now they both have their distance - Jay said.

- Limits - Kai clarifies - We both set limits. We didn't want to get too much attention at school -

- Kai summer is about to end and you still have not taken her on a date like Zane does with Pixal -

Kai showed in his eyes that he doubted for a second - I don't know... -

- Hey, just go there, talk to her and ask her if she wants to go out with you. It's that easy - Cole replied while putting more products in a bag without noticing Kai's thoughtful look.

Skylor was putting some people's products in some bags, but then Mr. Chen approached her.

- Skylor, I'm going to need you to get more canned boxes from the back warehouse. Then you arrange them in their respective places, okay? - Mr. Chen simply replied as he wrote some things on his work table.

- Okay, Mr. Chen - Skylor answered as she left her place and headed toward the back of the warehouse.

But just at that moment, Skylor collided with Kai's body.

- Whoa! Sorry, Skylor - Kai replied, showing him a smile.

- Oh, Kai, I didn't know you were here. Look, I'm very busy now, we'll talk later, okay? - With that the redhead continued on her way.

- Hey! It expects only be one minute okay? - Kai followed the girl while he thought about what he was going to say.

- Just a minute, make it quick - Skylor insisted as she stopped and looked at him.

- I-I...thought if this f in the week, you and I could...go a little quote - his voice sounded somewhat nervous and unsure but did not take his eyes off him to Skylor.

- A date? Why so suddenly? - Asked looking at the brunette.

- Summer is almost over - I conclude - So I thought about...taking advantage of a night just you and me -

Skylor smiled at his friend's request, Kai may not believe it but she also had feelings for him - I'll think about it - with that he turned around and continued on his way to the warehouse.

Kai smiled as he watched her leave, he even felt a bit embarrassed by how she asked him, he knew he had to be more confident with all this.

- Did you ask her out? - Asked behind him the voice of his sister Nya. Kai is turned and saw there his two younger brothers with some sweets in their hands.

- Yes - he answered simply.

- And what did he tell you? - Asked Lloyd.

- At least he didn't say no to me - he said as he approached them - Come on, let's go find what mom asked us from her list -

After a few minutes, Kai and his brothers were already with a shopping cart in one of the aisles while they put the necessary items that requested their mother's list.

- Look brother, it's Mayor Vex - Nya pointed out as she saw the mayor of her town take some things and put them in his basket.

Mayor Vex is a very proud and stubborn man, he has a mature look, and he was wearing one of his elegant suits as mayor. He had short black hair slicked back properly and with a rather long, neatly cut and even mustache.

- Good morning, Mr. Mayor - Kai normally greets as he passes the mayor.

That's what Vex scoffs at - With all this fuss, I don't think I can call it a good day, young Smith. But I accept your optimism - he nodded while still checking some of the products.

- Yeah right - Kai laughed.

After having collected everything the list asked for, the three brothers continued to line up at one of the boxes.

- Kai! - Mr. Wu called the young Smith who saw that he was coming now along with his brother Garmadon and his sister-in-law Misako as they approached the three brothers - Well, I see that they have a lot of food - he said when looking at all the things that were in the face Shopping.

- So it seems -

- Kai Smith - Greetings Mr. Garmadon.

- How are you, Mr. Garmadon. Long time no see - Kai said kindly as he gave the man a friendly handshake.

- Likewise, son -

- Hello to you too, Miss Misako - he said as he greeted Garmadon's wife, Misako.

- Hello Miss Misako - Lloyd greeted friendly.

- Hello Miss Misako - I greet now Nya.

- Good morning to you little ones too. Enjoying the summer? -

- Yes - both children answered at the same time.

- Hey, Kai. Wu told us that a tree crashed into his house, right? - asked Garmadon.

- It's true, is everyone okay? - Misako asked now sounding worried.

- Yes, we managed to go down to the basement, for a minute and we thought that the storm would lift us up like in the Wizard of Oz -

- And your parents? How are they? -

- They're fine. Papa is already trying to remove the remains of the tree from the house. Mama sent me here to get some supplies -

- I see. You think Ray would not mind me and Wu helping him? -

- Of course not, the more it helps the better. After going to the hardware store, we can go home together -

- Sounds good to me -

From the warehouse entrance, five military officers entered with some suitcases and backpacks loaded on their hands and backs.

- I'm hungry - commented one of them, who had a beard and black hair.

- Yes, same me - supported the other officer, who had a shaved head and only had his beard half shaved. He put his backpack and suitcases on the floor and leaned against the entrance to the door.

- Well, go see what they find. Our truck leaves in thirty minutes. Don't be late, okay? - Officer Ronin Walter ordered them, his name was engraved on his uniform, he was a mature man with somewhat long hair almost reaching hazel-colored shoulders and a slightly shaved beard.

After several minutes people began to hear several sirens of police and firefighters, which were passing rapidly in front of the main road downtown.

- Is it a fire? - Wu asked.

- Maybe - said his brother.

People looked confused at all the police cars and fire trucks that were passing quickly.

- Gentlemen, do not get distracted and continue with your work - Mr. Chen mentioned to his employees as he passed in front of the boxes.

But after hearing the sirens of the police, the sirens and alarms warning of danger from the seismic as well as the alarm that detects tornadoes were now heard throughout the town. This caused many people outside to panic and run in various directions while seeking shelter, all the people who were in the warehouse stayed inside looking at everything that was happening outside.

From among the people running outside, young Morro Wind appeared, the same age as Kai and the others. He was wearing his black leather jacket, a dark green shirt, black jeans and almost broken at the knees and he wore black boots, he also had somewhat long black hair that reached almost to his shoulders and had a line green painted on one side of her hair. The boy came running looking terrified and desperate. But the most worrying thing was that he had blood stains all over his clothes, as well as a little bleeding from both his head and his nose.

- Oh my God... - Skylor exclaimed as she took a hand to cover her mouth.

Morro managed to get to the warehouse and people let him in, now everyone gathered with him while the boy gasped for breath. He looked very agitated, but at that Jay and Cole approached him and tried to calm him down as they sat him on top of one of the boxes. Morro also went to the same school as Kai and the others, they weren't best friends, but they still talked from time to time about him and his group.

- There is something in the fog! - he yelled suddenly as Cole held his back with his hand to help stabilize him - There is something in the fog! -

Hearing that, people began to wonder what Morro was talking about.

- Th-There is something there...! - He continued saying that without stopping, his tone sounded very scared.

- Hey, Morro, Morro Calm down - tried to calm him Jay, but it seemed not work.

- No, there is something in the fog! And he took my friends and killed them! - I cry crying in panic.

- What? - Oh my gosh - What is he talking about? - Several people began to wonder what Morro was talking about.

- How did I kill them, Morro? What are you talking about? - asked Cole.

- S-Something took them! I know because I heard them scream! - I cry even more - Please close the doors! Close the doors, for God's sake! -

At that time people closed the doors of the warehouse. But Lloyd began scaring the like Nya, Kai under Lloyd in his arms to comfort him while keeping Nya near é l, while she buried her face in her brother 's body.

- Brother, let's go home! - Lloyd cried as he hugged his brother's neck with his hands and buried his face in his shoulder.

People began to gather and could see all the scandal that was seen through the glass of the warehouse. Zane kept Pixal close to him, as did Garmadon with Misako.

- Don't go out! I assure you, there is something in the fog! - Morro continued insisting.

- To the devil! I'm leaving here - answered a man as he pushed some people to get out the doors.

- Sir, don't! - Morro warned him, but the man ignored him.

As soon as the man came out, people could see a huge mist of dense mist approaching very quickly towards the center and enveloping everything in its path, cars, people and businesses disappeared when the dense mist reached them.

The same man who left the warehouse managed to get to his car, but as he tried to get his keys out of the car, he was hit by the mist, completely enveloping him.

People and Kai kept looking to see what was going on, but...

- "Aaah-aah! AAAHHH! AAAghh!" -

Hearing the screams of that man, people were scared and closed the doors of the warehouse again, thus preventing the mist from entering as it covered the entire warehouse.

- I want to go home, Kai... - Lloyd cried again as he continued to hug his brother.

- Me too, Kai... - said Nya to hold further the waist of his older brother who gently stroked his head with his free hand.

- Everything is fine, calm down - Kai reassures them.

- Do you think it's...a toxic cloud or something like that? - he suddenly wondered aloud Garmadon.

- I don't know - says Wu.

- What is it? What happens? - Jay asked suddenly when he didn't hear anything outside, since everything suddenly went into a strange silence.

For a minute everything was in a strange silence that invaded the air. But at that there was a strong tremor that shook the whole place, and people began to panic as they fell to the ground or tried to hold on to something they had fences.

The shaking was so strong that it caused the entire warehouse to shake violently that caused several products to fall off their shelves and crash on the floor, and the lights hung from the ceiling began to flicker that even one or two lamps fell from it above, and the glass in the warehouse vibrated so much that some cracks formed. Several people were hit by the products that had fallen, and some even put their chests on dirt to cover themselves.

The shaking lasted a long time until I suddenly stopped making so that people succeed in recovering from the shock and witnessed the chaos, managed to calm down a bit while trying to analyze what had happened. The warehouse was a mess, broken glass, boxes and cans out of place and scattered all over the floor. Some people slowly got up from the ground and some helped other people to stand up while helping others who were affected too much by the earthquake.

- It was an earthquake - Wu mentioned.

- Is everyone okay? Any injured? - Asked Cole did with everyone.

People began to wonder and say things about if everyone was okay and what happened a minute ago.

- Please keep calm and let's wait here inside the warehouse! - Mr. Chen suggested to everyone in order to maintain some order.

- My love, are you okay? - Garmadon asked worriedly towards his wife who quickly affirmed that he was while helping her up.

- Listen everyone! - Called Mayor Vex - Try to keep calm, okay? I'm sure help will come soon -

- Yes it's true. Let's try to calm down and try to find out what has happened - Mr Chen supported.

- I don't know. What if we go out to see if someone needs help? - Zane proposed still close to Pixal.

- No - said Morro still sitting on one of the boxes.

- That's right, we could be in danger - added the mechanic, called Clutch Powers , a mature-looking guy with long black hair and a half-shaved beard in a mechanic's uniform.

- Didn't you hear that man scream? - said Dareth Vincent, Clutch's partner , who was the same age as his partner, with Elvis-style brown hair and wearing the same mechanic's uniform.

- True, it is best that we stay here until this fog or...whatever this thing through and disperses - Mr. said Chen.

As the people talked to each other about what they were going to do, Kai still held Lloyd in his arms who began to cry even more. Kai could even feel the tears of his little brother staining his shoulder, even the tears of Nya, who was still clinging to his waist and had her face buried in her body as she found herself sobbing because of how scared she was.

- Hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay - I try to calm them down while taking Nya by the hand and moving them away from the people to have some space.

- We want to go home...! - Nya cried as she hugged him even more.

- Listen, let's start cleaning. Pick up the broken glass and find some medicine for the wounded. Brooms and dustpan are in the back - Mr. Chen ordered his employees to help the people.

Meanwhile, Kai was still trying to reassure his younger siblings who wouldn't stop crying and calling their parents.

- I want to go with my mommy...~ - Lloyd cried on his brother's shoulder.

- We want to go home with mom and dad...~ - sob Nya embracing even Kai, who stroked her hair reassuringly.

- Easy, easy ... everything will be fine, yes? Everything will be fine. Everything is over, we'll be fine - she said as she cooed Lloyd in her arms.

Obviously Nya and Lloyd were terrified. They didn't have their parents around and they only had their older brother so they could be comforted.

- That's it, that's it - I calm them even Kai - Everything is fine, everything is fine, I'll take care of them, calm down, everything will be fine -

And so he continued to comfort his brothers for a long time.
