Chapter 18 ~ Limits

Lloyd's POV:

I woke up, now strapped against by vengestone chain. I felt something over my jaw and realized that I had a muzzle kinda thing, also made out of vengestone over me. I shook myself to focus on my surroundings. I didn't see nya anywhere which made me worry. I struggled against the think chains, which only resulted in only spraining my wrists. Another rustling of chains got my attention. I noticed another person chained next to be. I gasped through my muzzle as I realized that it was jay. He looked a bit bruised, a few scratchers here and there. I heaved a sigh of relief as he looked okay. He's head was hanging down, unconscious. I rustled my chains to get his attention. 

Jay stirred up. He opened his eyes and yawned. The he realized where he was and tried to break the chains. Lucky for him, only his hands were tied. I sighed as he tried to break the chains tying his hands with his feet. "hey jay" I smiled weakly through my muzzle. Jay gasped. 

"lloyd!!" He said ever enthusiastically. I couldn't help but chuckle at the blue ninja. "why you have a muzzle?" Jay said, he looked a bit dazzed. "I.....i don't know" I looked down on myself and everything that had happened just flashed back. Me fighting harumi. Me just losing control. I pushed my limits. Nya was scared of me. Me. The green ninja, the savior of ninjago. She backed away and she was still loyal. I-I can't tell that to Jay. "uhm.... Lloyd? You zoned out a minute there"

"y-yeah. Sorry about that jay"

"I can't blame you. Without nya, I just don't feel like myself. "

"something we agree on"

Jay nodded grimly. "wait- if you're here that means that cole did get my massage!" I gasped. "yeah. Your little possession thing worked but kai also kind of tried to bond with nya and found this place" whoa. Well, I guess the duo is working together again. I smirked. "oh and skylor came too" 

"we uhm, we found nya. kai decided that we should split up, I was said to stay with Jay while kai, cole and skylor went after harumi" "where's zane?" Jay hesitated. When he didn't answer i tried to comfort him, "he'll be okay. You're with me and we're fine" "eh, give or take" Jay smiled. 

Jay's POV: (cuz why not)

Lloyd seemed, different, somehow. His blonde hair was messy and dirty. He's pale face looked a lot more paller and worn out. Even his bright green eyes, were losing color. He is not the green ninja I once knew. Boy, harumi can do some damage. 

Before;

"what now zane?"

"stay still jay, let me figure out a plan"

"you know that's the only thing I'm incapable of " I smiled meekly. "this is not the time for jokes jay. Why is it so dark?"

"duh, hot head left with the fire" "yes, I realized. A little assistance "

"on it" I illuminated the way with a few sparks of lightning. "don't you think it's bit strange that everything is so quite right now?" "affirmative jay. Stay vigilant" I nodded in agreement. 

We wandered aimlessly for about a half an hour, trying to figure out a care path, to lloyd, or at least somewhere. I huffed impatiently. "I'm afraid this is our only option " "at least kai might be having action right now" 

"Jay, down!" Zane yelled. I turned as a shadow pushed me right into my gut. I was pushed into a wall. The shadow kept on lunching at me. zane threw his sharukuns, to to no effect. They went straight through the shadow. I attacked with my lighting. I knew it wouldn't work but i had to defend myself. Another shadow emerged and spangled Zane and pinned him down. I was caught off guard and the shadow found my weak spot and and tripping me down. It took me by the throat and held me up. I chocked on it but managed to kick the shadow, but my foot just went through it.
