"Alright, so I think if we add that image of us looking super cool in the lower corner, Garmadon will totally get the vibe." Jay crossed his arms triumphantly as he waited for Cole, Kai, and Zander's opinions.

"I...sure, I guess." Zander offered skeptically.

Jay's excited expression fell. "You don't think that will convince him?"

"Well...er, maybe?" Cole chimed in unhelpfully.

"You don't think it's going to work." He said flatly, shutting down the presentation with a sigh.

"I mean...um, maybe?" Kai muttered, wincing as he shifted upwards on the couch. "I don't think this is what we should be focusing on."

"Well, Annabella agrees with me. Style and function. C'mon, you can't deny we'd look sick in ninja gi's."

"Yeah, but I have other things to do." Kai continued hotly. "More important things, like finding Harumi and making her pay."

Jay frowned. Kai spoke an awful lot about Harumi and getting revenge on Harumi. He didn't really understand, but their situation was personal. Harumi had made it personal. Shrugging, Jay shut his laptop and felt the hum of electricity under his finger tips. He cursed inwardly as he pulled a thin set of gloves onto his hands, and then put the laptop away.

The fabric was the same electricity resist material the Sons of Garmadon had worn into battle. Annabella and the tech department worked together to give him gloves that would stop him from overloading any electrical source just by touch. He'd wear them until he had full control of his powers, he was convinced. He drew in a slightly raspy breath and frowned again as he glanced at his SOG-issued watch. Cole, Kai and Zander did the same.

War Room. Now — Notia

"We better get there then," Zander said, opening the door for everyone with a flourish. "Before Garmadon throws a hissy fit. After you."

The small group quickly made their way towards the war room, easily finding their way through the furnished catacombs after being stuck in there for so long. They stopped outside the door, the double guards posted there grunting simultaneously before letting them in. Jay took his normal seat at the table beside Nya. The girls were already there but there was one more girl than Jay remembered.

Jay didn't want to make anyone feel less superior, but Garmadon insisted stubbornly that the elementals and his chosen war council be the only ones seated at the table. Zander, Bells and Pixal were sitting in the corners for a better view from behind like other SOG agents. Jay shot Nya a quick smile which she returned softly, squeezing his hand under the table.

Everyone was still shuffling and having low conversations when Garmadon walked in, nodding to an agent as he walked by. The agent began distributing packets of paperwork and documents to the people around the table. Jay looked up and down the table discreetly and realised the table had been lengthened to accommodate even more people. He spotted Misako sitting on the SOG side and couldn't help the flash of confusion that took over his face.

Garmadon waited quietly for everyone to shut up, which happened quickly after he shuffled a few papers unnecessarily. Astra Garmadon (Jay still couldn't believe it, and it was pretty clear she didn't either, though she did look a bit more accepting as she glared a less harsh glare than normal at Lloyd from across the table) huffed to herself and nodded to the new girl across the table. Jay thought she had very blonde hair and seemed vaguely familiar.

"Roll call, Thorn." Garmadon ordered, flicking through the packet.

Thorn, a senior SOG member who taught a few of them special skills went through the roll call quickly. Garmadon nodded to himself and then opened to the first paper of the booklet. Everyone quickly followed to do the same and Jay scanned the words before him.
