Chapter 48: The evil lord, who befriended a flower
The team returned to the Bounty, which, as soon as they boarded, took off, not wanting to stay any longer where the seat of evil was.
Cole and Axl led Pythor, Aspheera and Harumi to the hospital wing, where Zane and (Y/N) examined them thoroughly. There was nothing wrong with them, only... (T/N) felt an evil from them, that they had never had in them before.
(Y/N) shone a flashlight into Pythor's eyes to get a closer look at him.
- He's not making contact...I'm worried. - (T/N) admitted to Zane, when she was done.
- Don't worry. Aya will find a way to rescue them. - comforted the nindroid, placing a hand on her shoulder.
(Y/N) smiled gratefully. - Thank you, Zane.
Lloyd entered the room, holding towels.
- Here you have them. They can come in handy. - He said and handed them the items.
Lloyd walked over and sat down next to Harumi, who had been sitting quietly so far and had not said a word. He took her hand in his and put his arm around her shoulder.
- Are they all right? - Lloyd asked.
- I don't know. They don't contact us and haven't spoken at all. - sighed (Y/N).
- It's like they're turned off. - added Zane, patting Aspheera's head with a wet towel. - And I'm surprised myself, that I'm doing this. - He added after a moment of silence.
- You're doing the right thing, Zane. - Lloyd said.
- Thank you for your opinion. - replied the nindroid, although it was nice, he sounded a bit sarcastic.
(Y/N) and Lloyd looked at each other with smiles.
- I'm going to go to my room...I'll be right back. - declared (Y/N).
When the girl reached the room and opened the door, she was completely stunned. Garmadon, sitting Turkish on her yellow carpet, at a small table, was having a conversation. He was talking to her... a plant for a special occasion from an old friend.
The girl stared at the evil lord with a strange look. Lord Garmadon looked up from the flower and widened his eyes. They stared at each other in awkward silence. You could hear the crickets all the way.
- What... are you... doing? - questioned (Y/N), raising her eyebrows.
- I'm having a conversation. You can't see? - he replied, as if it was normal talking to a flower.
- Are you talking... to my bush?
- Yes. By the way, what's her name?
- You know... I call her... Christopher. - she replied in a slow tone, coming over and sitting down opposite him.
- Ah! I finally know, what to call you, Christopher! - He said in a satisfied tone. - What are you doing here, ninja? - asked Garmadon.
(Y/N) blinked several times at him. - I... came to drink my water... but... it stopped me. - she said, pointing at him.
- What's strange about that? It's a nice conversation companion, similar to my plant. - he added.
- Your plant?
- Yes. In my house I have my plant, a nice companion. Maybe one day I will introduce you to her.
-'' What the hell? Someone switched our Garmadon or what?'' - she asked herself in her mind.
- No, I'm not crazy. This is part of my change. Everyone has their own way, you should know that! - Garmadon said to her.
- No, I don't mind talking to the flower. You are right, they are very calming. - She replied, grabbing a bottle of water. - What about your plan? Lloyd is already there... Oni and broke my order...
- Don't punish him. He isn't bad. I just wanted him to discover his potential, what he is made for! I'm no longer the evil Garmadon, now I'm... the good one... I guess. I even have two hands instead of four! - he explained.
- I believe in... listen... I have a question.
- Speak up.
- Do you know, what happened to Pythor and Aspheera? They don't contact us and... I'm afraid that something is wrong with them....
- It's a spell. The Crystal King cast an obedience spell on them. It probably happened, when he regained his form and gave you these new incarnations. - He replied simply, stroking the marijuana leaves with his hands.
Yes, my dear readers. Marijuana.
- Is it possible to take it off somehow?
- I think it is. Aya should be able to handle it.
- Listen... one more thing... When war breaks out, will you stand with us at the front?
Garmadon stopped for a moment and looked at her confused. He thought for a moment.
- After all, I'm not going to let some crazy crystal fan walk the earth, am I?
(Y/N) smiled at him surprised. - Wow... you know... thank you.
- After all, it's my world too, isn't it?
- Right. Thanks again. - she said and got up from the floor.
She went to the door to leave, but was stopped by Garmadon's low voice.
- However, remember. War is a nasty business... and in it... everything can be lost. Everything. So you'd better watch yourselves, after all, we don't want anyone to die, do we?
- You are right. Thanks for the advice. By the way... this incarnation, suits you better and I totally believe in your transformation.
Garmadon looked at her surprised, before nodding and sending her one of his smiles, that he had learned. (Y/N) reciprocated the smile and left the room, closing the door.
Garmadon's smile disappeared and he looked at the flower with seriousness.
- Christopher. I can bet, that one of these idiots will sacrifice herself for this piece of land. And I suspect her of that. - said Garmadon, referring to (Y/N).
May you be wrong Garmadon. May you be wrong...
