"Next!"

At the palace, an Anacondrai Cultist is serving the Elemental Masters food.

"Nothing for you." The cultist denied Garmadon some dessert.

"There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei in an effort to go straight—" Garmadon lectured.

"Next!"

"—You may not be served creamy biscuits."

Seeing this, Saya made sure to ask for more cookies, enough for both her and Garmadon.

Ignoring the fight between Cole and Jay, the girl made her way to the man. "Here, papa Garmadon. I brought you some biscuits."

"Thank you, dear." He took one. "That's why you're my favorite." He smiled, winking.

"Hey!" Lloyd scoffed, secretly enjoying the moment between his father and his girl.

"The tournament of Elements continues. Fun time! Would the following Masters please make their way to their assigned arena? Speed, Gravity, Smoke, Nature, Mind, oh, and last and hopefully not least—" Came from the intercom.

"Huh, maybe we all got the day off." Jay implied.

"—Fire!"

"You jinxed it."

"Kai, Master of Fire, versus Ash, Master of Smoke. Fight!" Chen announced.

"Come on, Kai, you can do it." Lloyd murmured, his hand tightly clasped in Saya's.

Lloyd and Saya sat side by side in the crowded arena, their eyes fixed on the intense battle below where Kai, clad in his signature red ninja suit, was locked in combat with his opponent.

Saya glanced at Lloyd, noticing the worry etched on his face. Placing a comforting hand on his shoulder, she leaned in and whispered, "Lloyd, remember, this idiot's determination is unmatched. He's got this. You'll see."

Lloyd nodded, a faint smile forming on his lips as he squeezed Saya's hand in gratitude. Together, they watched with unwavering belief as Kai showcased his skill and unwavering determination, filling the arena with awe and admiration.

Ultimately, Kai was crowned as the winner.

Lloyd and Saya found solace in the peaceful comfort of Lloyd's room, surrounded by soft pillows and the gentle glow of dimmed lanterns. They nestled together on his bed, their laughter echoing in the cozy space.

Saya leaned against Lloyd, her head resting on his shoulder as they exchanged playful banter and tender whispers. With a contented sigh, she traced patterns on his hand, relishing the tranquility of the moment.

"You know," Saya said with a playful grin, "I love these quiet moments with you. Just us, without these idiots."

Lloyd smiled, amused at her statement, gently placing a kiss on her forehead. "Me too, love. It's in these moments that everything feels right, and I realize how lucky I am to have you by my side."
