"Good training, you're powers are getting stronger. But where Kai," Nya asks as we all take down our fake enemies. The boys go look for him while Nya asks me to stay back.

"(Y/n) you are able to control darkness and create shadows try teleporting through those," she says.

"Um, okay," I say. I raise my hands and create a shadow at the far end of the ship and cover myself in the black smoke creating a shadow around me. I close my eyes and focus, feeling for the other shadow. I reopen my eyes and see I've traveled, "cool," I cheer.

"Nice one," Nya says giving me a hug. I hear Sensei yell he's home so I run up the stairs as see him. "Sensei," I yell hugging him. The boys come down also to say hi.

"You missed so much Sensei. Zane's a robot, Nya is the samurai, and Cole's a dancer," Jay says.
"We'll catch you up later but you should know all of us have reached our full potential except for (y/n) and Kai," Zane explains.
"I have a feeling (y/n) might unlock it soon," Sensei says catching my attention.

I see my father behind Sensei and run out to him as Kai starts attacking him but Cole keeps me back.
"Kai stop," Sensei says as I get out of Cole's grip and kick him off, "he is the reason I left. For so long as Pythor has Lloyd he will be our guest."

"Sensei, he has four arms."
"He has to live with us?"
"He's evil."
"Why is (y/n) protecting him," Nya's question made me freeze.

I push my dad off of the stairs and we tumble down. He pushes me off as the others call my name, "let them fight," Sensei says. I yelp as he kicks me in the stomach and I crash into the floor. I send my hand into his jaw, grunting as I do so. "Don't do that," my father whispered as I prepare to throw a punch to his stomach. He retaliates and knocks me in the shoulder, sending me to the ground once more.

I throw balls of darkness and teleport through the shadows, "dad, why," I ask teleporting behind him just to get kicked back. "Ninja go," I yell spinning as he also spins, we produce the same color. I throw ball of darkness at him, him doing the same. I yell in pain as his power melts my skin.

"Why," I yell my eyes getting dark. I get interrupted as I lose focus, falling.
It feels like ages before I get up.

I walk towards him and as I raise my hands to attack he grabs me in his embrace.

"You left us," I scream pounding his chest as he pulls me close. "Dad, I'm so sorry," my voice cracks and he hugs me, "What for my child?"

"I haven't taken care of Lloyd, I've been a terrible sister, I told him you wouldn't have wanted him to be evil and you didn't choose to be evil. I couldn't protect him. I'm sorry," I let a tear slide down my face.

"Oh, daughter I am not mad, you did all you could, I am proud," he says as I sniff looking at him, "you are," I ask and he nods.

I look into his eyes and see all the terrible things he's done, all the killings, all the deaths he's caused.
"I can't trust you," I scream throwing him back.

"Father," All the boy yell, "yeah, sorry for not telling you," I put my head down.
Cole comes up and give me a hug, "it's who you are."
"We're not mad," Kai hugs me next."
"I wouldn't have you any other way," Zane smiles at me.
"Um, cool," Jay says making me laugh.

"Go to the bridge. It's time to put our attention to more pressing matters," Sensei says. The others walk with me, still not trusting my father, "you're so nice and he's...he's him, I don't trust him," Jay says.

"I know, I don't either, but I had to get that off my shoulders. He could still be evil but I think he wants Lloyd back so he's being nice," I say as we enter the bridge.

"Sensei, I felt it," I tell him, "I felt my true potential."
"I'm sorry (y/n), I thought you would reach it by seeing your father."
Lord Garmadon looks to Kai and smirks.

——————————

"So where are we at with the four Fangblades," Sensei asks, "oh, Pythor managed to take the first two, but there's still two left."

"And we only need one in order to prevent him from unleashing the Great Devourer," Cole adds.
"Have you found their whereabouts?"
"No, but the falcon is programmed to alert us if he sees any suspicious activity," Zane says.
"Good, if we find the Fangblade, we find Lloyd."

"Kai and Nya, prepare the deck and double check the anchor. We need to be ready when we get first word of activity.
I take a seat as the others explain about how we found out that Zane is a robot.

———————————

"(Y/n) come to the bridge Zane's falcon spotted them," Cole grabs my hand, bringing me to the bridge.
"Looks like Pythor is at the Temple of Fire," Nya says.
"That means the Fangblade is there," Kai says, "and Lloyd," my father and I say.
Kai and Garmadon start arguing about their last fight there, "can you guys stop," I yell.

"For the sake of the Fangblade and Lloyd, can we please just get along," Cole helps me.
"Since there last time we've been there, it looks like the volcano had grown unstable. The place is a powder keg just waiting to blow up," Nya shows up a picture of it.

"Great, just what I like, fighting armed and deadly snakes in a highly combustible environment about to blow up," Jay says sarcastically.
"Where are our weapons," Zane asks as I look towards my naked wrists.
Kai runs out of the room noticing my father isn't there.

——————————

I stay in the bridge as the others go downstairs, hearing a lot of crashing. I park the ship besides the temple as the others come running out.
"The Fire Temple," Kai says.
"The volcano seems to be on the verge of eruption, guys," Nya says through the com as we enter the temple.

"We cannot use our weapons," Sensei says making the boys put their weapons away and me to put down my hands.

"There," Sensei points, "the Serpentine must be inside the inner core. From here on out we travel by shadows."
"Easy," I whisper using them to teleport.

I look out and see all the snakes digging for the Fangblade. "There's Lloyd," Jay point to him.
We quietly climb down getting closer as Pythor pulls out the third Fangblade.

Pythor screams attack and we all get into action. Four snakes come towards me, one in back, three in front.
Backflip and knock off the one behind me while the other three attack. One lands a punch on me pushing me back but I kick my legs forwards causing them to all fall.

"Darkness," I yells using just my hands to teleport behind snakes hitting them. Kai pulls out his weapons and the ground start moving.
"They're making the volcano unstable," Zane says.
"Any minutes this place is gonna blow."

"We have to get out of here," I say dodging a falling rock. "Dad! (Y/n)," Lloyd yells making us spring into action.

We jump onto the stairs knocking snakes off one by one. I kick and punch my way up and flip off my dad and throw more off. He grabs a sword and swipes at the snakes. As more come our way Pythor drops Lloyd.

"Lloyd," I scream as I am knocked back onto my back, "go (y/n)," Garmadon says pointing to the others.

I sigh and jump back up to them, Cole grabbing my hand. Kai races to get the Fangblade. The ground under Lloyd collapses and run jump to reach for him but I'm too late as he's already falling. "(Y/n), help in sinking. Dad," Lloyd yells.

We backup into the tunnel and get trapped form getting back to Lloyd. "Come on," Cole says leading me back to the ship, despite me fighting back.

"No! Let me go," I push against him, but he's too strong compared to me.

——————————

I fall to the floor as the volcano explodes. "It's Kai, he's found his true potential," Jay says making me stand back up.
Lloyd is with him.

He falls to the ground as he lets go of Lloyd. I run to Lloyd and pick him up, hugging him tightly, "sis," he yells hugging me back.

We bring the boys back to the bridge and I give Lloyd to Garmadon. "Dad? Is that really you?"
"It is, son."

"Dad why you have four arms," Lloyd says as I let out a breath of release, "he's gonna be okay."

Garmadon thanks Kai. "But how did you survive," Zane asks, "how did you discover the key to unlocking your powers?"
"I knew when I had to make a choice. I wanted the Fangblade so badly, to prove I was good enough to become the green ninja. But then I figured it out. All of my training to be done the best Ninja wasn't in preparation to become the green ninja. It was to protect him."

I smile and put my wrist guards onto Lloyd. The others put their weapons also and they glow bright around Lloyd. "You're the green ninja bud," I say.

"It's all makes sense, not only have you five been chosen to protect the Golden Weapons, but also to protect the chosen one."

I look to my dad sadly, "that means," Sensei Wu interrupts me, "the battle lines have been drawn, brother," he says turning to Garmadon, "sadly, our family has only become more divided. Brother versus brother, father versus daughter, sister versus brother, and now, son versus father."

Jay starts laughing, "this is heavy and all, but whatever happened to the Fangblade?"
