Book 1: The Other Garmadon

Return of the Overlord

Lyric POV: 

"Lloyd please put me down." I pleaded. 

"No." 

"Oh, c'mon I'm fine now." I argued. 

"Still no." He replied not giving in. 

I rolled my eyes groaning in frustration already giving up but Mom came to the rescue. 

"Lloyd put your sister down, I think she really needs it." She said. 

"But mom-" Lloyd tried to protest but interrupted him. 

"Lloyd, don't you see your sister wants to at least walk and talk normally with you?" Mom stated. 

Lloyd contemplated for a while and then he bend down and let go of my thighs. 

I beamed with glee and got off his back and hugged my mom thanking her over and over again. 

"Now, now save that energy for later Lyric, we have to get to the shore first alright?" Mom told me. 

"Yes, mom." I replied. 

We walked through the plants and finally arrived and saw Dr. Julien by the shore. 

"What was that sound? The horns?" Julien asked a little panicked. 

"The Celestial Clock has reached zero. Garmadon's ultimate weapon is now operational and the Final Battle between good and evil has all but begun." Uncle explained. 

" Now Lloyd must face his father." Mom stated. 

"But where's Nya?" Julien asked. 

I hung my head in sadness thinking of the events that happened earlier, I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw Lloyd giving me a comforting smile as I leaned on him. 

"She's been taken by the Overlord, but we'll get her back. At the moment, there are bigger things at stake, including all of Ninjago itself." Uncle stated. 

"Who cares about Ninjago? Nya was my—uh, my...you know." Jay stammered. 

And Kai stepped in with Jay. " And she's my sister. I know her being captured is tough, but she's tougher. Tougher than most of us. We'll see her again." Kai assured Jay. 

" Lloyd, your focus gives strength to invoking the power of the Golden Dragon. You cannot lose faith now. Everything rests on your shoulders." Uncle said to Lloyd. 

"But Sensei, you saw what happened when I tried to face my father. I-I froze. I can't fight him." Lloyd argued. 

"You must. It is written in the scrolls." Uncle insisted. 

"Remember, your father is just as scared." Mom reminded. 

"And I'm always here with you, right?" I added. 

"Then the battle will be decided by who is willing to fight." Uncle proclaimed. 

"You won't be alone. I'll be right behind you. You have my Fire." Kai declared sheathing his sword. 

"You have my Earth." 

" And my Ice." 

"And Lightning."

"Don't forget about my Music." I teased, hitting Lloyd's side. 

"We're all in this together, kid." Cole stated. 

"What are we waiting for? Let's suit up." Lloyd said and we suited up. 

I took my gloves off and my eyes widen when I saw the black swirls spreading bigger than before, I can't go to the bounty and just grab my book so I paid no mind to it and put my gloves back on.
