Chapter 7: Time To Get Serious

No One's POV:

"NO YOU'RE NOT!" Tabitha yells. All eyes are on her. She has a spear out and is in a defensive position.

"I WILL NOT HAVE YOU LIVING WITH THIS MONSTER!" Garmadon hollers. Yugataro starts to growl loudly. "HE EVEN SOUNDS LIKE ONE!"

"JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" She screams at her father, which infuriates him. "If I wanted someone to save me, I would rather have my family save me than you do it."

"But we are here Tabitha!" Jay's voice comes from the up in the trees, but he is no where to be seen. Only the falcon. It opens its' beak again, and someone's voice comes out. This time it's Lloyd's.

"Garmadon is on our side sis'!" He informs her. "So don't be afraid to help him out!" She cringes at his comment about helping her father.

"Quick question." This time Nya was speaking. "WHY HAVEN'T YOU KILLED—!" But she was cut off when all of a sudden Yugataro jumped up and stabs the falcon with a sharp rock. After that, there was a bunch of glitching from the mechanical bird, and then turned off.

"YUGATARO!" Tabitha screams. He lands next to her and she looks to see that his eyes are glowing, and his scleras were black. "Yugataro?"

He walks up to her and stops when they are only an inch away from each other. The beast looks down at her and carefully grabs her chin. She whimpers; afraid of what he might do to her.

"Go back to the den." Yugataro tells her calmly in his demon voice. "I can handle him."

"But you don't know what he's capable of!" Tabitha protests, tears forming in her eyes. Although she could tell that he wasn't going to take 'no' for an answer. "Okay...." Was all she said before she started running back to the cave.

"NO!" Garmadon shouts. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! RUN TO THE MONASTERY!" He starts to chase after her, but Yugataro stops him by ramming Garmadon to the ground with his horns. The oni shoots across the field, and smashes against a tree, splitting it in half.

Zane's falcon lay motionless on the ground, but then it's eyes glowed blue. Meaning that it's camera was turned on, but it still wasn't able to move or use its speaker. Yugataro notices this and creates a boulder for the falcon to stand on. The ninja are confused at this motion, but instantly realize why he did this.

He wanted them to watch him.

Garmadon gets up and rushes towards Yugataro; his fists out to punch the ghost's face. But Yugataro dodges it and grabs Garmadon's arms, slamming his body to the ground.

This battle lasted almost half an hour. The same things would happen: Garmadon would try to land a hit on Yugataro, but the ghost would simply dodge the attack, and land a extremely hard blow on Tabitha's father.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!" Yugataro yells at Garmadon.

"WELL, I'M NOT LETTING MY DAUGHTER LIVE WITH A MONSTER!" Garmadon hollers back at him, getting up from just being thrown. Yugataro snarls, his eye glowing brightly.

"I'M NOT A MONSTER!" Yugataro screams. The oni only smirks, making him even madder. Garmadon tells him that these are actions that monsters make.

And that was the last sentence he ever said, because after that; Yugataro let out a terrifyingly and thunderous dragon roar. Then he made a duplicate of himself to push Garmadon to the ground. It did, and then quickly disappeared.

Garmadon was on the ground, holding onto one of his many injured arms, when Yugataro walked up to him. He tried to get away but was frozen in fear. Yugataro snickers evilly at this.
