Chapter 3

*WARNING THERE IS GOING TO BE SOME BLOOD SHED TOWARD THE END. I WARNED YOU!!! LOVE YOU GUYS, BTW.

"What?!?" screamed Pythor, confused and angry.

"You heard me, snakey..." Hidden snapped back in a bored tone, not caring what was about to happen.

"The Overlord issssss dead! That's not him! Not posssssssible!" screamed Pythor, pointing at the hooded figure.

Hidden sighed, then looked at his friend, whom seemed to be trying to speak.

"Omn, pull your hood down. Don't worry, I'm not gonna let him kill ya."

With shaking hands, Omn or the Overlord pulled his hood down.

Revealing his twilight(dark purple) hair, that was extremely long and two horns at each side of his forehead. His eyes were like a dragon's, and his ears were pointed-tip human ears.

"I gave him a body, but I ended up dealing with the stone army and the ninjas. And he attacked whitey, then greenie."

"And, scaring the person, who spared you and anyone he ever encounter, is a good way to say 'hello'..." Omn spoke out, getting their attention.

"So after..... two hours you finally talk?" Hidden asked, getting a growl from Omn.

"Don't you have more important plans to do, Hidden..." Omn asked, watching Pythor carefully.

"What?" Pythor asked, getting sick of the Overlord or Omn, glaring at him.

"I rather trust the green ninja then him-"

"Ohhh! Coming from the one who died twice by two different ninjassss!"

"Shut your fuck-"

"Both of you, stop! We need to heal before we make our next move." Hidden said.

"Then I'm staying near you, because King idiot is known as a wuss-"

"You are known assssss dead, dragon!"

"Oh my fuc- next insult that comes from out of either of your mouths, you will be in dead in a ditch... understood?"

Pythor and Omn nodded in agreement, Pythor looked at Omn, then at Hidden.

"Issssss he your slave or ssssomething?"

Hidden cover his laugh with cough, then looked at Pythor.

"Not necessarily.... we are old allies..."

".. it was my idea to get out the realm, however only one of us could pass through. So, I pretended to be "dead" to get pass the barrier."

"So loverssss or allies with benefitsssss ?"

Hidden snorted, cover his laughter with his hand as Omn stood up.

"I-I am going t-to check on the ninjas!" Walking away from the group with his face bright red, leaving Pythor confused.

"Wait... how? They are probably miles away from us, right now!"

"He learned a few new tricks... while traveling with me." Hidden said, pointing at Omn, who was holding a ball of dim light.

Releasing the ball, letting it float in mid air. Omn waved his hand to make the ball get bigger and flatter, the ball now looked somewhat like a mirror. Then waving his hand again, the mirror shown the green ninja being comforted by his teammates.

"Ohhh, ssssso he isn't completely hopelessssss...."

Ninja's 3rd person POV:

Lloyd was balling his eyes out, pulling on to his hair.

"Lloyd, calm down! We are here. Calm down first." Wu said, pulling Lloyd's hands from his hair.

"....he's not dead..... he's ....he's"

"Who, nephew? Speak slowly...."

".... the Overlord.... he's alive... he's not dead or jailed...."

"What-" Kai screamed, but his mouth was covered by Cole.

"...he was the one wearing purple hood and cape.... he's the one who threw Zane and .... pinned me to a wall..."

"That explains why he was freaking out... or at least not talking..." Cole said, releasing Kai.

"But why would Hidden tell Lloyd about his plan?" Nya asked, getting a Lloyd's attention.

"We to find them!-"

"No, nephew! You need to rest, you need to have energy if you want to look for them....." Wu interrupted Lloyd, who was trying to stand up but almost fell back down.

"We don't have time! We need to find them!" Lloyd yelled, as Cole grabbed him.

"They aren't invisible, thanks to the staff, he has." Kai said, trying to cheer Lloyd up.

"And a lot of the serpentine, skeletons, ghosts or even the stone army, are gonna challenge them-"

"Not if they want to die, they don't. Hidden destroyed two soldiers at the museum. Then brought them back, as if it was possible." Wu interrupted Cole.

"What?" The ninjas said unison, leaving Lloyd out.

"Yes, he brought the dead to life with the staff."

"-Then that's why we need to find him and destroy the damn staff." Lloyd yelled, scaring everyone in the room.

Wu sighed.

"We need a full team, if you want to search for Hidden and the Overlord. And be in full health, nephew.."

"Fine...." Lloyd said.

"Let's just get you to bed, buddy" Cole said, helping Lloyd out of the room.

3rd person (with Hidden) POV:

Closing the mirror, Omn turned to see Pythor and Hidden standing behind him.

"... he acts like his father, same determination." Pythor mumbled, getting a nod from Omn.

"That's interesting...." Hidden mumbled.

"What's interesting?" Omn asked, confused.

"He has been kidnapped, multiple times, correct?" Hidden asked Pythor, whom nodded.

"Yes, sometimes by hissssss own teammates... Why do you asssssk?"

"A normal human would be paranoid of going to places alone, however he isn't. He still went to places alone and vulnerable....."

"Lloyd is like that, he can make childissssssh mistakes, but his fighting ssssskills make up for it..."

"He isn't wrong about the boy's fighting skills. And he's strong in many ways." Omn said.

"What do you mean, Omn?" Hidden asked.

"I sense there is a something, and it's not his golden power.."

"What?" Pythor asked, confused.

"Omn can sense souls and powers from any being." Hidden said, earning a glare from Omn.

"He doesn't need to know everything, Hidden!"

"I telling him about something's not all, dimwit." Hidden said as Omn rolled their eyes.

"Anyway's, what is our next move?" Omn asked.

"The green one will be a problem and so will the others.... and even that Professor."

"How's that old man a problem?" Pythor asked.

"Have you met Wu?" Omn glared at the serpentine.

"...true..."

"Not to mention looks can or will be deceiving..." Hidden spoke.

"Sadly, he isn't wrong...." Omn pointed at Hidden, looking at Pythor.

"We'll wait til they are less expecting an "attack" for more recruitment. Understood, you two?" Hidden asked his new team.

"Yes." The of them said in unison.

(3rd person POV[following Lloyd])

How can I sleep? He knows something.... and the Overlord is with him! And probably soon Pythor is going to help them....

Lloyd thoughts ran wild, he couldn't control them. Lloyd released a sigh as his head hit his pillow. Rolling over, Lloyd planted his nose into his pillow. Inhaling the scent that seemed calming Lloyd down.

I wish you still here..... dad.....

Lloyd felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes. However, no matter how hard he tried Lloyd couldn't stop the tears. Or that couldn't sleep. He didn't feel tired, though he felt calmer thanks his pillow case.

Maybe if I read some of dad's journal, I probably can get more calmer.... Lloyd thought.

Though it may seem like a stupid idea, Lloyd didn't have many options. He didn't want to take sleeping pills. Or disturb his teammates, who were sleeping or patrolling the Bounty. Sitting up, Lloyd grabbed the journal from his secret hiding place. He didn't actually looked through journal, Lloyd flipped through to see if anything fall out like the letter.

Of course, he didn't want to read his father's journal. But Garmadon did give it to him. And gave his son full permission to read it. So, Lloyd just needs to worry about hiding it from his friends and family. Maybe even the enemies if they too close.

Flipping to a random page, Lloyd began reading the journal.

Today was weird. As weird as me being the only person bitten by the great devourer and not my brother? Even more weird.

I walking on the path in the forest, not far from the house, and I saw a smaller path. This path seemed to go to the "darker" side of the forest. Of course, I walked down this path, not caring if I die or got attacked. I am strong to handle the bullies in the village, but I wasn't allowed to leave my room. Until I was better.

My father has no idea how much that bite hurt. Yea, he fought the Overlord and the stone army. But he should given up on humanity. The people, can be the more cruel than any creature I have read about in father's scrolls.

Anyway's, back to the point.

So walked down this smaller path for, maybe 10 minutes before I entered a clearing in the forest. I saw a figure, laying on ground next to a stream. My humanly instincts told to save then and I did. I noticed that they were shaking, so I took of my jacket and cover them.

Then they attacked me. But apologized mid way through. And thanked me for the jacket.

We ended talking for an hours and hours, I didn't go home that night. And father yelled at me, but it was worth it.

Their name, that I gave them, Omega. He have purple to blackish hair. And he was a male, though he did have feminine body. His skin was tinted grey, and he had long ears. And a tail.

He said, he escaped his father, whom was going to kill him. And he was going to be the next in line. The next to fail.

Apparently, his dad was the Overlord that my dad fought, and he assumed the next golden one was going to beat him. At this, I decided to change the topic and we talked about what we liked and didn't like.

He apparently was going to stay in a cave near by, since he refuses to leave. In fear of his supposed father. I'll stop by to talk to him. Maybe even train him.

Hopefully we talked more. He seems really cool. And I also fell for him, if he was a girl. Or a boy. He did look around my age : 13

And hopefully Wu, doesn't read my journal.

-Garmadon

Date #########

Looking through the pages Lloyd learned a little about his father then he knew.

Garmadon met Misako before he let for training for Chen. And wrote letters to her. And learned magic from Omega, and talked to him everyday. Omega always seemed more closer to Garmadon than Misako. And his father constantly got into fights with others, either for Wu and Misako or for Chen approval for a higher level of training.

Lloyd stopped reading once he got to the part of his parent's private wedding. He knew their marriage didn't last long, Garmadon worked so hard on that promise/engagement rings. They were made out of pure silver, and had their names in each ring. Misako for Garmadon, it kept him faithful during their years apart. However, his mother never wore the ring and in the end Garmadon took it back.

Pulling out the ring his father gave to him when he was a baby. The day Garmadon was forced to keep his son safe from himself. He was in fear that the Overlord or the venom would cause him to kill his own son Lloyd remembered when his father stayed with them, still evil.

Garmadon apologized so much to Lloyd, hugging him. Even spoiled Lloyd with attention, and played video games with his son. And played a couple of pranks on the ninjas.

Lloyd snapped out of his daze on the ring, it had his father's name on it. He was now wondering what father did with his ring, with Misako's name on it. Knowing his father, either gave it to her or burned it in a volcano.

After these years.... he probably gave it Wu and made a new one for her....... Lloyd allowed his thoughts to run, laying his face into his pillow. Lloyd held on tightly onto the ring from his father in his hand. Hoping he wasn't going to have that same nightmare he had from the moment he could remember.

This nightmare never made sense, even after many years later from when it had started. The nightmare was about a man attacking a woman, who cheated on him. Knocking her out and cutting her stomach, the man left the woman.

Not without giving the woman some medical help, first. Lloyd never saw the faces or heard the names of these people. Their faces were sorta blocked with something, giving them not a face. All he did learn was, the man never regretted attacking her. Only not taking care of her sooner. And that the woman had suffered from some head trauma, and lots of memory lost.

As Lloyd entered his reoccurring nightmare, he saw the man stalking the women into an alleyway. And continued to follow him, since he already followed the woman.

Watching the man pulled his hood down, and pulled his knife out. Then as a flash, the man grabbed the woman's hair and threw her against a wall.

The blood dripped from her head, as the man checked her pluse. She was still alive. Taking the knife, the man cut into the woman's stomach, making Lloyd feel sick. But instead of turning away in disgust, Lloyd watch the man do his work. His "mission", that's what he muttered after he done cutting her out.

He gently tore out a bloody part from the woman. A organ, or something. Then setting it a side, into a blanket, the man sewed up the wound he made. Picking the bloody piece in the blanket, the man jumped into the roof and began walking away from the woman.

Lloyd followed him, and was even more disgusted when he looked into the blanket. There a baby. It was tiny, and barely made a sound, but it was breathing.

"Shhhh..... it's alright Lil one..... dad's here.... he'll protect you...." the man spoke to the baby.

"Geez.... over protective much?" Lloyd asked the man, knowing he wasn't going get a response.

He almost envied the baby. The child probably grew up with that man thinking he was the most caring and loving father ever. He forced his wish aside, watching the man taking the baby with him.

"You can't keep him, remember? .... you are still unstable... you would killed her a second ago... "a voice boomed into the blonde's ears. And the man's. Lloyd saw him flinched, making sure not to drop the child.

"I know... but I want keep him with me until he's at least a year old-"

"No Remember the plan, he can't be near you..." the loud voice, boomed again, who interrupted the man.

"He's my son! That means he has my blood line, he needs me..." the man snapped.

"I told you already, I'll put a spell on him and you'll help me keep this from him. Since you can't trust your own family, or your so called friends-" the voice spoke.

"Don't speak of them please.... not in front of my son...." man interrupted the voice.

"Already attach to him?"

"Unless you want another unnecessary death caused by her.... shut it..." the man spoke. Holding the baby closer the man, kiss his bloody forehead.

"I assumed you named him.... "

"Yes... but I'll wait to tell you... first I need to find an allie, who would watch my son til he can be with me again...." the man said.

"However I sense he will meet many people whom will betray him. And hurt him.... I apologize..." the voice apologized.

"It's fine... you get to teach them lesson then..." the man said.

"He won't know the truth til... it's time... the tea would help but knowing them... they will be careful around their prized possessions..." the man said, walking into a canyon.

"... good, you better keep your deal,-" the voice started, but Lloyd could hear the last part as he awoke from his dream.

With hands on shoulders, shaking him awake.
