Dreaming of Shadows book 4

chapter 20

Madu sliced off The monsters legs Akita fell to the ground "Are you okay Miss Vex?!" Madu asked concerned
Akita nodded"Yes"
" Zane!!"Madu shouted"Get the crystal from Lloyd!"
Zane ran over and shot a bolt of ice freezing Lloyd's empty hand to the ground while Lloyd was distracted Zane snatched the crystal"What do I do now?"Zane asked
"Crush it"
The ice Ninja threw the crystal to the ground where it shattered into thousands of peices
"Noo!!!" Lloyd shouted breaking free from the Ice
'The crystal is attached to his power"Akita thought trying to stand'we can only stop the power if we take Lloyd's'
Lloyd summoned all his power green blood trickling down his face as he stood there,green energy flickering off his fingers
Madu helped Akita stand up"Take it"She whispered
"Are you sure?"Madu asked unsure
"Yes"
Maria took control of Kai Jay and Nya
Madu handed Akita the crystal"You'll have to"Then he left to go stop Maria
Akita turned the gem over in her hand of course it would be her.The formling held the gem out infront of her towards Lloyd the light hit the crystal and began taking Lloyd's power waves of Green flowed into the gem.
Lloyd fell to his knees,Akita caught him before he hit the ground he was no longer possessed with demon crystal he was just Lloyd
"Red?"Lloyd whispered looking up at her
"Yes?"Akita said dropping the crystal
"I'm so sorry"His voice was choked"Did I hurt you?"he carefully touched her face
"I'm fine...why would you do this though?"
"I was so angry at Ninjago I lost my head...Where have you been?"Lloyd asked not wanting to think about the fact that he was dying
"In the Never Realm I didnt come back to Ninjago because I was worried that I wouldnt be able to be someone that could help you"
"I wish you'd just believe me when I tell you that I love you to death"
"You know me better then that"
Lloyd smiled, his breathing becoming slower"I can't save us Red"
"You dont have to I will"
"I trust you"
Lloyd closed his eyes,Kai ran up to his dead friend"Lloyd!?"He pulled Lloyd out of Akita's arms"Buddy?"Kai started to cry hugging his friend's lifeless body.
Akita stood up she turned around and walked towards Maria daggers drawn with every step the world around her reacted rocks broke,wind whistled,Ice started to melt vines and roots moved along the ceiling.Akita didnt hear Madu shouting at her to stop she just kept fighting Maria kept punching kept kicking kept blocking until she had the woman pinned against the wall
"Miss Vex Stop!!" Madu shouted
"She made me kill him!" Akita hissed holding the dagger against the exausted Maria's neck
"Akita...I dont want her blood on your hands"Madu said raising his hand he didnt want to have to manipulate her" Dont do it"
The formling turned to Madu"She made me kill him!"she was on the verge of crying.
"This is the girl?" Maria asked laughing weakly"The girl you
Madu walked over to her and put his arm around her Akita dropped the dagger and hugged Madu crying.Maria looked up at her brother'see you in hell'She mouthed and smiled as if to say I win
Madu shook his head in one swift motion his sister fell to the ground dead.
