(Next chapter up. I hope you enjoy it. I did. 😊)

Alright. With the island under our control, first thing's first, stop Chen. And that somehow involves- "Sink the ferry. No one's getting off this island." That. After Jay said that, Bolobo summons vines from the water and sinks the the ferry. Why do I feel that that will come back to bite later? (Because it will.) I shake my head, we still have some helicopters and other aircraft so we aren't completely stranded. The goons we captured are tied up together and are kept under watch. I walk over to them and they stop struggling as they look at me. With fear. I smirk at that then become serious as I look at Griffin, "We may have control of the island, but Chen is still out there. This whole thing will be over once we have him and in chains and sent to life behind bars." After giving him a knuckle sandwich. "Check the the jungle, he can't hide forever." Griffin nods his head then speeds off to tell the other masters.

I inhale deeply then sigh, I have tried to find Chen with my powers... But even thinking about that man... MAKES ME WANT TO TAKE OUT THIS WHOLE ISLAND. I hold a hand to my necklace, caressing the center gem and it helps calm me down. (Girl is going throw it still. 😓) I won't let Chen get away. He WILL pay. I blink as I feel a hand on my shoulder and see it is Cole. He gives me a concerned frown and I lay a hand on his as I convey to him I'm okay. We then walk over to meet with the rest of the guys. "The palace and sleeping quarters are all clear. Still no sign of Chen and Clouse." Cole informs. "What about Skylor?" Kai asks. I frown as I hear his worry. "She wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends. And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her." Lloyd comforts him. "He's right. With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time." Cole says. "Until Chen is given the justice he DESERVES." I add, punching my fist into my palm. (She scares me sometimes. She really does. 😰)

"I'm proud of you six." I lower my arms as Garmadon appears. "You've done what the original Elemental Masters never could: stick together." He says. "But you must not rest on your laurels, for when your guard is down when you sleep." He states. I look down as I know Chen is not giving up yet. But without his staff to complete the spell... Wait... it wasn't the staff but the elements trapped in the crystal. "Where is Nya?" I blink as Zane asks that. "She's in the D.B. Express relaying what happened to Wu and Misako." Jay answers. Oh, right. They must have been worried sick. Hopefully this whole thing will be over with soon.

Skylor's P.O.V. (Surprise! 🧡)

I betray my father and now he has me in chains. What was I thinking defending him all these years? He never cared or loved me, but I was too afraid to do anything. Not anymore. Two of his goons talk on and I couldn't care less what they are talking about since I am more busy in finding a way out of this dark cave behind a waterfall. But then I smile as I decide to mess with the two idiots. I lift my arms up and the chains rattle, making the two jump and point their spears at me. "I have to scratch my face." I inform them. What? I have an itch and it needs to be scratched. (Priorities.) They do nothing for a moment then one holds up their spear at my face and I move my head against it to itch the spot. "Thank you." I smile in thanks. Then that guy, Eyezor, growls and the two go stiff. Seriously, does he not know how to use words?

Then again my father only hires those that will do what he says. But I wasn't hired. I look down as I remember what happened when my father tried to take (Y/N)'s powers. I frown as I remember the pain, it was hers. And he didn't care! Family or not, I will never forgive him. (She felt REAL bad for (Y/N).) Speak his name and he shall appear, my father walks to me. "Free her." He orders. "But, uh, Master, she still has her powers." One goon says. "And I still have the power to stuff you in a fortune cookie! Free her now!" He orders and I am free from my chains, glaring at him. I rub my wrists, not looking at him. "Skylor, how dare they tie you up. I blame myself for your slip in judgement." He says, and I can hear the fake remorse in his voice. "It wasn't a slip in judgement." I glare at him as he stands next to me and rests a hand on my shoulder.

"The Ninja were right." "And I was wrong." What? He's never apologized. "Wrong to steal their powers. Wrong to want to transform myself into a snake. Wrong because you needed a father and I wasn't there." Okay, this is too weird. He gives me a weird smile and removes his hand from me. Wait... I know what this is about, and I'm ticked. "You think my powers can still turn you into Anacondrai." "You have absorbed the powers of every elemental fighter." Clouse appears. "But the staff crystal was destroyed." I counter. "And the crystal was obtained in the crystal caves here on the island which we can go to now complete the spell. We have everything we need to make everyone happy. Isn't that great news?" I gasp. He's insane. (Now, you're getting it.)

He holds my shoulders and smiles madly, but I step back and away from him. "But this isn't just my power, it's all of it. Taking everything from me could hurt me. Or worse." I state, stopping as my back hits a wall. "Heh, no plain is perfect." WHAT? "You care more for power than your own daughter." I glare at him. "Without power, I'm insignificant. Is that what you want? An insignificant father?" Unbelievable. "I never had a choice, did I? You will do whatever it takes to make yourself feel significant, but you are the only one to think that you aren't. I always knew you were crazy but I never thought you would be so heartless. Until now. You should have never taken off the chains." I tell him off. "Get her!" I jump and flip forward to avoid getting tackled then run, escaping into the shadows then reappear as I glare down my father. "You're not insignificant, you're pitiful!" I insult him then go back into the shadows.

I appear above and put on my hood as Eyezor grunts at me. I use gravity and fly but my foot gets grabbed and I fall on a cycle. I turn over and see goon about to elbow-drop me but I turn into smoke to avoid it, reforming next to him and pushing him over to land on Eyezor. I then detach the hoverboard and activate it, tossing it then jump onto the pile of idiots and onto it. I ride on it to get out of here but hear Clouse chant and quickly dodge them, exiting out and make my way to the Ninja. But knowing my father, he will send all of his goons to get me. I need help.

Third Person P.O.V.

Griffin and Neuro keep watch of some tied up goons. "Looks like all the action is over by now." Griffin says with an optimistic smile, kicking away a rock. "Put me on 'Most Ultimate Extreme Ninja Challenge' and watch me smoke that course." He talks but then stops as Neuro grunts and closes his eyes as holds a hand to his head. "What is it?" He asks him. "Skylor's sending me a message. We have to tell the Ninja." Neuro states.

The Ninja, Nya, Garmadon and Karloff are in the jungle working on vehicles of theirs and Chen's. Griffin runs up to them with his super speed, "Chen just figured out Skylor's powers can finish the spell. She's in danger." He informs them. "He's replaced his elemental staff with the elements in his daughter." Garmadon states. (That MONSTER!) (Y/N)'s face hardens as she clenches her hands into fists, "I'm going to make him feel PAIN!" She thinks furiously. "Where?" Kai asks Griffin. "Other side of the island." Griffin answers. "I'm going after her." Kai states, running over and hopping into a snake-themed car. "We all are." Garmadon states. "Jay, Zane, you take the mech and buggy. Cole and I will take the roto-jet." He orders, Jay and Zane getting into said vehicles while he and Cole go to the roto-jet. "Lloyd, you've got your dragon. (Y/N), you go with him." Garmadon says. (Y/N) relaxes her hands and her face softens, nodding her head and moves over to stand with Lloyd. "Nya, how fast will she go?" Garmadon asks as Nya sits in the driver's seat and closes the cover. "Fast enough." She states.

Nya revs the engine as the wheels turn, kicking up dirt. "Everyone else, stay here and guard the camp. Let's get a move on!" Garmadon finishes as he jumps into the back seat of the roto-jet. Lloyd summons his elemental dragon as he summons an orb of his powers around him and (Y/N). The green energy dragon roars as it appears with Lloyd at the reins and (Y/N) sitting behind him with her hands on his shoulders. The dragon flies into the air while Karloff and Griffin watch in amazement at it. Karloff sighs, "Karloff wish he could do that." He says. "Ninja-Go!" The rest of the team head off to find Skylor. Darreth sits on a boulder wearing sunglasses as two kabuki tend to him. "So there I was, the Helmet of Darkness at my feet, destiny in my grasp... Wait a minute, where'd everybody go?" He asks as he notices the other's absence. (Nothing. You just keep doing... whatever.)

Zane's P.O.V.

"Watch out for booby traps. Chen's rigged this whole island." Nya informs through the intercom. "Read you loud and clear." Jay replies. "(Y/N) can't you sense Skylor with your powers?" Kai asks. "I would but I am currently wanting to punch a hole THROUGH Chen's skull." (Y/N) says, and might I add, in a very intimidating tone. (Very intimidating. 😰) "You'll get your shot at Chen, (Y/N). But let's focus on finding Skylor and making sure she is safe from Chen." Cole says. (Y/N) huffs but says nothing. I can feel that there is more to her anger but I have to focus on the mission first.

I speed along the dirt path, I do not want Chen to win after everything he has done. "Be careful, Zane, at this speed I cannot analyze obstacles." Pixal says. "There isn't any time. We have to-AAAAAHHH!!!" I scream as I hit a something and get sent flying, falling out of the buggy. Grunting as I hit the ground and roll for a bit then stop. Okay, should have slowed down. I stand up, "Whoa!" But trip against something and fall back. I hit the ground with my back. And to think being made or titanium would make it hurt less. I have been proven wrong. I sit up and look to see Jay and Kai look down at me. "Carry on the mission without me." I tell them. The soon leave and I am now stuck in a cave of some kind.

I feel my right eye blink a little but it is quickly fixed and I stand up, groaning as I nurse my head. "Perhaps I should've listened to you." I say to Pixal. "Perhaps is an understatement." I sense the sass in her tone. (I wonder where she got that from or if it's just a her thing. 🤷‍♀️) I look up at the opening, but something about this is... familiar. (Deja Vu. 😵‍💫) Everything changes and I am in the ice cave from my dream, looking into the darkness and feel fear as the ice dragon appears. I step back but stop and look back to see a stalactite then move and continue stepping away from the dragon as it roars. "Your anxiety levels are rising. But there is no visible threat." Pixal says. Can she not see it? "The Ice Dragon from my nightmare. It's quite visible and quite angry." I tell her. "There is no dragon. It's only in your head." "No. It's going to devour my head." I argue, moving further away from the dragon. "You didn't listen to me last time- Listen to me now. We must get out of this hole. There is no dragon." I back away as the dragon lurches at me. But there is one.

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

I keep a grip on Lloyd's shoulders. I look down as I try to see something, but nothing yet. I sigh. "Are you really okay?" I blink when Lloyd asks. "I know want to stop Chen but at the ceremony... I never seen you like that. And the tears made me really worried." He does not look at me as he focuses on flying, but I knew what he was talking about. (He is a concerned brother. 🥺) Inhaling deeply, I tighten my hands on his shoulders. "Chen... I was so worried about losing my family again, worried about what Chen would do to you guys... that feeling I got from him... only to realize he did it all before." I reply. "What do you mean 'before?'" He asks. I hesitate for a moment but sigh, "Chen killed my parents." I answer. I feel Lloyd freeze and notice that his dragon hovers in mid-air.

"What? He... He what?" The dragon goes down and it disappears, Lloyd and I landing on our feet as we hit the ground. Lloyd takes off his hood and I see his shocked expression. "He took your parents from you?" He asks. I take off my hood and look at the ground, nodding my head. I hold my hand up to caress the necklace under my Gi. "He... he ordered his men to capture my mother when he heard she was weak. They tried to use my father as a bargaining chip, but they were not gentle. And my mother fought till her last breath to keep me safe." My voice breaks, tears building up in my eyes and I quickly wipe them away. (Momma was not going out without a fight. 🌸) I then get hugged and I break down as I wrap my arms around Lloyd. (My heart! 😭)

I cry for a while then calm down and remove myself from Lloyd, but he has his hands on my shoulders. I look at him and see he has a determined frown, "We will stop Chen. Your parents will be avenged. But don't let hurt cloud your mind, I always looked to you for so much and it hurts seeing you like this. You are not alone, sis." He tells me. I gasp softly as I feel his care for me. I smile as I am thankful to have this amazing person as my brother. I close my eyes and inhale softly, but I feel someone approaching. I know who it is, and it's payback time. I open my eyes. "Go on without me. I have business of my own to attend to." I tell him. Lloyd nods then releases me as he steps back and summons his elemental dragon. He flies off and I turn around to find a snake-cycle stop and it is that one-eyed freak that steps out of it.

He growls and jumps out of the vehicle growling as he exits out of it and faces me. I crack my neck and assume a stance. "Since my mother failed to teach you manners, best pray that you don't lose the OTHER EYE." I tell him. He yells then charges at me and I charge at him, I won't need powers against him. (Oh, mama. 😨)

Garmadon's P.O.V.

We found them. "Fire!" I exclaim. "No argument." Cole shoots at the copter and the blasts hit. We give chase as we circle in the air. "I can't see them." Cole says. I look to try and find them. "Where did they- Argh?" Something lands on the jet and I look to the left to find Clouse taking some parts of the jet to sabotage it. It is time to end this rivalry. "Keep her steady, I'll handle this." I open the hood an get onto the wing. But then the jet dives down and I grab on to it as we go fast. "A bit of breeze up here." I regain my footing and glare down Clouse. "I wonder which one of us will stay on their feet longer?" "How about neither!" I jump at him and we fall but I don't care. (This man is crazy.) I punch at Clouse and try to overpower him, but then we separate as he hit branches of trees.

"Ugh!" I grunt as I land on my back. Not the worst landing I have had. I stand up, resting a hand on my back as I pop it. "One of these days, your son will have to stand on his own without his dear father." He DARES to talk about my son? "Not today!" I jump at him and we continue our fight.

Kai's P.O.V.

I made it to some abandoned village but- Uh, oh. I hit some vehicle and groan as I shake my head then look to find, "Kai?" Skylor. I hop out of the car and take off my hood. "That looks fun, mind if I join you?" I ask her. Not waiting for an answer, I take out the hoverboard in the back of car and toss it as it activates. I hop on it and try to keep my balance but soon get it as Skylor and I fly off. "You okay?" I ask her. "Whoa!" Okay, got to get a handle on this. I end up on her other side. "Faring better than you." Heh. She is always quick with a one-liner. But then I hear something and we put on our hoods as he fly faster. "I have an idea." She says. I smile as I know what it is. "You're reading my mind." I reply. We both use, "FI-YA!" We shout and shoot our fires, them crossing and making a smokescreen. It blinds Chen and she makes herself look like me as I go hide in a building in the village.

I take off my hood and contact the others to let them know we will be heading back then wait. I hear whirring step out to see Skylor appear. I run over and hug her, relieved that she is okay. I pull away, "I alerted the team we found you and are heading back." I inform her. "Are we in the clear?" She asks. "I guess." We then start walking. "Hey, Thai is a pretty cool place by the way." I stop as I look around the area. "You want to play tourist?" I hear her ask. "No, no. You're right. Let's get back to the good guys. They are all waiting for us." I turn around and tell her. "Kapow!" What? I look up but a net lands on us and we try to get out, but it's too heavy and my powers aren't working. "Ha, ha, Venge-net." I look up to see two goons on a roof. "Let's see you work your powers on that." (Shut up, both of you, or else say goodbye to your tongues. 😠)

Shoot. We can't. They cheer and Skylor and I look at each other, I see her fear. I hold her close to comfort her as best I can. Looks like we're gonna be a little late.

Garmadon's P.O.V.

Clouse chants another spell and I prepare myself. He shoots at me and dodge it, "You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to get rid of me, Clouse." I tell him then roll and stand, sending kicks and punches at him. I block his and counter his attacks then we both jump and I deliver a hit and so does he. I grunt from the blow and land on my back. I quickly sit up, "I have other things up my sleeve." Clouse says and I quickly get up. I hold my hands up as blue smoke appears, but that is not blue smoke. "You've opened the Curse Realm! Are you mad?!?" I demand of him. He continues chanting and force starts pulling things into the portal. (I would say, Yes. Yes, he is.) I quickly grab a nearby branch and grip it tight.

"You banished the Anacondrai Generals there. It's time you answer to them!" I grunt as the force becomes stronger and I am pulled closer to the portal. It then lowers onto the ground and the branch starts to break. I slide on the ground and quickly grab a vine before I got pulled into the portal. "You coward! Letting the dead generals do your dirty work!" This is too far. "You grow wiser in your years, Garmadon!" He says back. The force becomes stronger and I yell as I am pulled into the portal. "There's nothing to save you. Take in your last moments, Lord Garmadon, and know that it was I who defeated you. And I who will take your title. I, Lord Clouse!"

One thing about being a villain, they talk too much. I pull myself out with the vine. "Never rest on your laurels, because you lower you guard!" I then rip the vine off and jump at Clouse, using the vine to wrap around his ankle and pull him in the portal. "You fool! You're-You're pulling us both in!" True, but only one is falling. I quickly climb up, "No. Just you." I tell him then pull myself up as I push him down. Rolling away from the portal and catch my breath. It closes and I sigh in relief. (Phew! 😮‍💨) I lift myself up, "I always hated magic." I comment.

Third Person P.O.V.

Eyezor pants as he lays on his back, his body bruised and missing a tooth. (Y/N) stands over him and gives him a cold glare. He tries to crawl away but (Y/N) grabs him by his shirt's collar and holds him up. He tries to get free but her grip does not waver so he tries scratching her arm. The sleeves are torn and reveal the many tiny scars on her left arm. She pulls him close and he freezes as he sees the look in her eyes... the same one her mother gave him before she took his eye. He is afraid. Deathly afraid. "You should have chosen a DIFFERENT job. Then you wouldn't have had to deal with my mom AND ME!" She tells him. (Eep! 😱) She then extends her left arm and reels her right hand back as she forms it into a fist. He closes his good eye and braces for the blow. (Y/N) is about to do it but then her powers flare up as she feels his fear. He is terrified. She halts as she realizes what she is about to do. Everything she has been taught, all that she knows... she is about to disregard all of it. She releases her right hand and caresses her necklace with it. Her father... her mother... they don't... they wouldn't want this. She looks at Eyezor to find him looking at her as he pants, seeing his face roughed up. She sighs and releases him. Eyezor falls on his hands and knees then runs to his vehicle, driving away as fast as he can.

(Y/N) could not do it. Chen is to blame, not one of his goons who only followed his orders. He needs to pay for EVERYTHING he has done. But... she is the Master of Life. A good guy. A ninja. "Gah!" (Y/N) holds her hands to her head as she bends down and cries once more. "What is wrong with me?! I just wanted my friend back. I just wanted us to be a team again. I JUST WANT MY FAMILY BACK!!!" She shouts. (Oh, hon. 😔) But then gasps. Her family... She never got to grow up with her parents, she lived in an orphanage where she was without friends and lived on her own for years, fighting for what is right because it was the right thing to do... but she has a family now. She stands up straight as she removes her hands from her head. "I... I got so caught up in what I loss, I forgot about what I have." She says.

She closes her eyes as she holds her hands to her heart as she recalls her family. Master Wu, Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya, Lloyd, Garmadon... They are her family. She breathes out softly as she opens her eyes, "I am the Master of Life. My job is to maintain balance and protect the life within it. But I am also (Y/N) (L/N), a ninja, a friend, a sister. I not only fight for balance and Ninjago, but for my family!" She declares. (YEAH! *Pumps fist in the air.* ✊) She feels a swell of power and smiles at the feeling, purple stardust and whisps surround her as a bright light shines from her and engulfs the area.

Zane's P.O.V.

It's right there. Why can't she see it? "But it's there. Right in front of me." I step back until my back hits the wall as the dragon roars. "You are not afraid of dragons. You used to have one." Pixal says. "I'm afraid of this one. And my memory doesn't remember everything from my past." I tell her, holding my hands to my head. I wish I could, it hurts knowing that not all of it is back. "You must remember who you are. You are the White Ninja." She says. "I am not the White Ninja. I am just a replica. I... am afraid." This body is just an improved and updated version of my last one. It is not the same. I am not the same. "You are the Ninja of Ice." Pixal says as I try shooting my powers at the dragon, but it only goes right through it. "But my powers can't stop him." I tell her. "Because there is nothing there." She replies.

"It's all in your head. Close your eyes." I think about her words and move to sit on my knees. I close my eyes. "Close your eyes and see there is nothing to fear." I do not see, but I can hear. "But I hear him." I tell her. "What else do you hear?" My thoughts. And how I am not as I was. "I am not the White Ninja. I am not the White Ninja." I answer. I am not who or what I was because I have changed, but... "Who are you then?" Pixal asks. I am still Zane, but...

I open my eyes and stand up, "I am the Titanium Ninja." I declare. I look at the dragon and it calms down. "I am the Titanium Ninja!" I raise my arms up as I repeat. (Indeed, you are, Zane. 😌) It wags its tail and smile as I walk forward and hold my hand to it, petting him as he rumbles softly. "And you are not here." I tell him. He curls up and vanishes. "Yes. Anxiety levels are going down." My vision returns back to reality and I feel a swell of power in me. "But the elemental reactor levels are rising! Zane. The readings inside of you are through the roof!" I hold my hands up as I smile widely, "I am the Titanium Ninja." I announce, letting the power shine.

Third Person P.O.V.

Lloyd, Cole, Jay and Nya are back at the gates, Cole and Nya hand over a tied up Eyezor and a goon to Karloff who picks them both up with ease. "Still no sign of Chen?" He asks Cole and Nya. "He escaped, but we'll find him. Did Zane or (Y/N) ever return?" Cole says. "The metal man and fierce lady? I have not seen them." Karloff answers. Cole frowns as he worries about them, especially (Y/N) with how she acted earlier, and Nya notices as she lays her hand on his shoulder to try and ease his worries. (She is only comforting him. She knows better now.)

Garmadon then appears from behind a boulder, his robes having come undone in the back as his Anacondrai tattoo is seen. "Dad!" Lloyd notices him and runs over, the two sharing a hug as they are happy to see each other. "I don't see Skylor or Kai." Garmadon voices as he and Lloyd separate from their hug. Shade walks over to them, "They said they were on their way." He informs Garmadon. But then the sensei groans as he collapses onto his hands and knees, the tattoo glowing. "Dad, what's wrong?" Lloyd asks his father as others surround Garmadon. "I don't know." His father grunts out, the pain becoming worse. "Your tattoo." Lloyd says, seeing the tattoo glow a dark purple. "Something inside of me. Something is happening!" Garmadon says. (Uh-oh.)

Elsewhere, in the crystal caves, Kai and Skylor are chained up as Kapow reads the spell. "Trayeaux, Keelie, Neptide." Skylor tries to free herself as she grunts from the spell taking affect. "No!" Kai exclaims in worry. Kapow clears his throat as he pronounces the words, "Eek, Mono, uh... Gloop?" At least tries to. "Not Gloop! Glop. Glop!" Chope corrects. "Um... Master, shouldn't Clouse be reading this?" Kapow asks Chen. "It doesn't matter. He's not here. Keep reading." Chen orders. "Oh, okay. Trayeaux, Keelie, Netide." Kapow reads the spell and it is performed as green whisps circle those with the Anacondrai tattoo. "It's working. It's working. Finish the spell!" Chen orders. Kapow groans as he feels himself transform and Chope takes over to finish it. "Vein, dinner, klactu, barnato." He reads. Kai looks over at Skylor and sees her in pain. "Kai, don't look at me." She faces away from him as she transforms. "Fight it, Skylor! Fight it!" He exclaims, he then summons his powers to melt the chains. "I... I can't!" Skylor's voice breaks. (😢) The spell finishes and Chen smiles as he looks at himself; he has fans, his skin now purple scales along with having a Serpentine tail instead of legs. "Now I am the most powerful warrior to ever rule Ninjago!" He declares, laughing victoriously.

Back with the Elemental Masters, Garmadon pants as the pain fades. He now is an Anacondrai as well. "The spell... The spell, it's completed. If everyone with the Mark of the Anacondrai is affected, that means..." He stands up, right as loud grunting is heard and everyone looks to see Chen's goons now Anacondrai with their heads like snakes and they easily break free. (Crap.) "Oh." "Don't worry. I'm always on your side." Garmadon assures Lloyd. He and the rest of the team and masters charge at the goons. "Let's get 'em guys." Cole states. Tox shoots poison at them, but it has no effect on the goons. Cole runs to the roto-jet, but stops as a goon appears and jumps over it to land in front of him. Cole tries to punch him, but his arm is grabbed and he is forced onto his knees. "They're too strong!" Cole exclaims. Griffin quickly runs and tries to surprise attack a goon, but his hits are blocked. "They're too fast!" He exclaims then gets thrown onto the ground. Garmadon appears and tackles three goons but get slithered by others. "And they are too many! Retreat! Get everyone to the palace!" He shouts, getting swarmed by the transformed goons. "Everyone, to the palace!" Lloyd orders.

Karloff punches away some then looks to see more coming. "Retreat! Everyone retreat!" He exclaims. "Behind you!" Neuro warns Shade, who smacks a goon away and helps Neuro. Griffin appears and knocks the goons back, giving Neuro and Shade enough time to run. "Come on!" Shade exclaims. Jacob appears and quickly sends a sound wave at the goons, sending them back a little then runs to the gates. Once everyone makes it, the doors are shut. Karloff, Cole, Nya and Ash using their strength and planting their feet down to keep them from moving in order to keep the doors closed. Jay takes off his hood to pant then sees Garmadon, gasping as he summons his powers. "Snake among us!" He exclaims. "No, don't. It's my father." Lloyd informs him quickly. Jay makes the lightning disappear as he places his hands on his hips. "First it was four arms, then you became a dragon. Would you mind picking a body and sticking with it, please?" He sasses Garmadon. (Not now, Jay!) The doors are banged as the Anacondrai goons try to break through. "Could use a little help. Arrragh!" Cole groans as he pushes back. Jay joins as he pushes against the doors while the goons let out battle cries.

"Oh, man. Look at you! You've got a tail, ha, ha!" "No! Look at you! You've got fangs!" "You know what I'm thinking? We're gonna need cooler names!" Chope and Kapow say excitedly to each other. They laugh but then scream as fire is shot at them. "You're both still ugly." Kai insults them. "Fire!" He shouts, throwing a ball of fire at Chen and it engulfs his body, but it does nothing as Chen puts it out. "You think a little fire can hurt the thick-hide of an Anacondrai?" Chen mocks Kai. He then burrows into the crystal and Kai is alert as he he looks at the ground. Chen appears behind him and uses his tail to sweep Kai's legs out. Kai sits himself up and glares at Chen. The mad man leans down at Kai but is then attacked by Skylor, her having break out of her chains and sends Chen back with a powerful punch. (You go, girl! 🧡) She lends her hand to Kai. "We musst get out of here." She tells him. Kai looks away from her as she is now an Anacondrai but waves it off as he knows where her allegiance lies. And it is not with Chen. "Let's do this." He states, taking her hand. She helps him up and the two run off. "Should we, uh, sssslither after them?" Chope asks Chen. "Why? They're no longer important. It's time we leave this wretched island." Chen states.

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

Well, wasn't able to stop the spell, and Chen and his goons took the helicopters and jets to get off the island. So that's a bummer. But that doesn't mean we're stuck. I smirk as I make my way to the palace. "I'll go alone." "And take on his whole army?" "I'm the only one with an elemental dragon." I smirk when Lloyd said that. "Not anymore!" I smile and look to see Zane with his Elemental Ice Dragon. I giggle as I feel everyone's shock and amazement. "If you think I was gonna miss on kicking Chen's butt," I announce my presence, appearing on my Elemental Life Dragon. They have scales so tiny that they blend together like sand and sparkle in the light along with emitting stardust from their body, their head smooth with horns curved upward, their wings smooth and claws sharp, and breathe out purple whisps. They are also pretty big if I do say so myself. (I did my best. Hope you like it.) "Then you have to speak to me, little brother." I finish.

Zane and I maneuver our dragons to be near the others, him having his dragon land on the wall where the others are while mine hovers next to the wall. "They unleashed the dragon too." Karloff says. "Oh-ho-ho. Zane, (Y/N), none of us could do that before. You gotta tell us how you two did that!" Jay says. "I faced my fear. When I realized it wasn't something in front of me that held me back, but something inside me, I found a deeper power. A dragon power." Zane explains. I nod my head agreement, "Same here. I was so afraid of losing anyone else, that it blinded me from what I have now." I explain, petting the neck of my dragon and they rumble softly. Another roar is heard and I smile, looking back to see Kai with his Elemental Fire Dragon and Skylor riding with him. "Zane and (Y/N) are right. We all have this power inside of us. But you have to see that it's not the Anacondrai we're afraid of, it's our doubt." He says as he flies pass us.

The others cheer loudly. "Divided, we failed. But together, we will succeed." Kai states. I pull the reins and my dragon roars as they fly up. "So what are you waiting for? Cast aside your doubt and UNLEASH THE DRAGON!" I shout, smiling widely. Watching as Lloyd, Jay, Cole and the rest of the Elemental Masters about their element and summon their dragon. We all then fly together as we form a thunder. (And a 'thunder' is a group of dragons. I looked it up.) My powers flare up as I feel everyone's renewed hope and vigor. "The battle of our past has returned, but we will rise to meet that challenge." Garmadon announces. "Chen brought us here so that only one would remain. Well, we are one!" Kai declares. I nod my head as I smirk. "Back to Ninjago!" I pump my right fist in the air. Everyone cheers along with the dragons roaring loudly.

(Whew! We are getting to the end of this season. It has been a ride but we ain't done with it yet! Only two more chapters. Until next time!)
