A New Beginning (Lloyd x reader)

Chapter 34

"So you just confirmed it: the legend is true. He who reclaims the Armor controls the Firstbourne" Iron Baron raised his own sword, ready to challenge Wu. 

"That's not what I said." Sensei Wu corrected him. 

"You seem like a wise master. Are you really ignorant enough to take on me and my entire camp?" Iron Baron laughed in Wu's face as Hunters began attacking him. You wanted to help him, but also you knew it wasn't your fight. 

"Don't give in, Master Wu. We've got your back." Cole encouraged Wu. 

"Yeah. If you can cut us down first." Kai said. 

"Y/n, go help the others," Wu told you. 

"Yes, Master Wu." You said and went into action. 

"Before you do something foolish, let me make you an offer. How about you get me the Armor, or else we can see right now how good you really are with that... staff." Iron Baron threatened Wu while holding Wu's staff with his claw. 

"You want me to take you to the Firstbourne?" We asked him just to confirm what he had heard.

"Get me the Armor, and I'll send your ninja home." Iron Baron said and let go of Wu's staff. 

"Do I have your word?" We asked him. 

"Don't-" Faith tried to stop Wu, but Iron Baron did pay any mind to her and continued talking to Wu. 

"Trust me. There's nothing I want more." Iron said while smiling at Wu. Wu grabbed his staff and let it fall to the ground as a sign of surrender to The Hunters. 

"Oh, no!" Kai shouted. 

"I'm sorry, but we are left with no other choice." Wu apologized to Kai. 

"Ha. We go now to the Firstbourne." Iron Baron cheered along with the rest of The Hunters. 

"Don't worry, ninja. Have faith." That was The last thing Sensei Wu told us as he was led away from us by Iron Baron. 

"I hope he knows what he's doing." Faith said, and we all heard her. Sadly, this was nothing new when it came to Sensei Wu. 

"We've learned not to question him," Kai told her as he looked at Sensei Wu and Iron Baron walk away. 

You saw Jet Jack run after Wu and Iron Baron, so you were on guard if something happened. 

You couldn't really hear what they talked about, but you could hear Iron Baron laugh. You saw Iron Baron shove Jet Jack back and laugh even more. 

TIME SKIP

You had tried almost everything to try and get the other guys free. But with the vengestone chains and Hunters watching your every move, making it a little difficult. 

"I hope that's your falcon, Zane," Kai said to Zane as he watched a shadow of a bird flying overhead. 

"My receptors pick up that, that is an avian scavenger. A harbinger of our approaching demise." Zane told us. 

"It's a Bonepicker, and Zane is right." Faith spoke up. 

"Why does Zane always have to be right? Can't it just be enough that we're tied to giant poles in the middle of the desert?! And don't forget, Wu is being held hostage, forced to steal for Iron Baron the Dragon Armor so that he can become invincible! Can't that be enough?!" Jay shouted. 

"No! Don't come to me! Boo!" A Bonepicker pecked at Cole, but he scared it away. 

"Look. Something's going on." Kai pointed out, and you all looked over the Hunters who seemed to be fighting. 

"Probably arguing about which one of us to eat first," Jay said. 

"Dragon Hunter do not eat people!" Faith quickly told him. 

"Well, that's good to know, Faith! So, it isn't all bad." Jay laughed awkwardly. 

"This is our chance, while they're distracted. Let's see if we can get these... Naah. Poles rocking. Uh! By rocking our bodies. Mmph! From side to side." Kai told us. 

"Yeaah, I'm not doing that," Cole told him, already giving up on the idea. 

"That... won't be helpful," Zane told him. 

"Come on, guys, you at least have to try, we can't help Wu if we just stand here forever." You told them. 

"Guys, come on. Teamwork. Nmah. If we all do it together..." Kai encouraged them. Both Cole and Zane sighed but joined in any way. 

"I'll go push from below, if we're lucky, the Hunters won't see me." You told Kai and carefully crawled down. 

The Hunter was too busy arguing that they didn't notice us at all. 

"It's working, guys! Just a little more." Kai told us. 

"I can't believe this is working!" Faith said with a smile on her face. 

"We do have a little faith," Jay told her. 

"What do you think you're doing?" Jet Jack suddenly appeared in front of Jay. Out of instinct, you turned yourself invisible. 

"Uh, nothing?" Jay smiled at her, and Jet Jack held up her weapon. 

"They are going to eat us!" Jay screamed, and the others did too. Jet Jack ended cutting the chains and freeing everyone. 

"Ugh. Ever heard of stairs?" Cole complained, and you laughed. 

"I don't know if I should thank you, Jet Jack, or prepare to fight." Faith walked over to Jet Jack and Daddy no legs. 

"Or if you're going to eat us, eat him first. He's filled with cake." Kai pointed to Cole.

"A-am not!" Cole protested. 

"We got to talking and this Dragon Armor business has gone too far." Jet Jack told Faith You were still invisible just to be safe. 

"Iron Baron speaks of serving his people, but he only serves himself." Daddy no legs told us. 

"Yeah, I think he's kind of a... Jerk." Chew Toy said. 

"We fear with Firstbourne by his side, he will become... unforgiving," Jet Jack said and a mutter of agreement came from the other Hunters. 

"Wait, wait, you're telling me all this time, while they're getting closer to the nest, you guys are arguing about whether to release us or not," Jay asked The Hunters. The Hunters nodded in agreement. 

"He's shown his true colors, and they are colors no one likes. I can put aside our differences if you think you five can make a difference." Jet Jack told Faith. 

"I think you mean six." You said and turned visible again. 

"Where did you come from?" Jet Jack asked you as she raised an eyebrow.

"I have my ways." You smiled at her. 

"We'll follow their tracks. Let's go and stop them before it's too late!" Cole shouted, and The Hunters cheered along with him. 

Faith, Cole, Jay, Kai, Zane, and you all began walking the same way Iron Baron had walked. Even when it got dark, you all didn't stop. 

The only time you stopped was because of a collapsed stone bridge. 

"It's too late." Faith said as she saw the bridge. 

"It is never too late." You told her as you placed a hand on her shoulder.
