Chloe's PoV------

We were getting closer and closer to the Hills of Snow. And is it just me or is it becoming colder and colder? 

'It is getting cold. Maybe because it's always winter here.' Lloyd said through his mind. I looked behind me and saw Lloyd standing behind me on the Deck. 

'Always winter?'  I asked.

'Yeah. Zane says this place is the most logical one because it's related to his element.' Lloyd said. 'And it's in the name. The Hills of Snow? It needs to be winter all the time here if the snow should remain intact.' 

I hummed. Then Lloyd spoke again. 

'So, you were a model, fashion designer, makeup artist, singer and musician?' He listed off. I chuckled at him. 

'Yeah, but not for long. Only a year for each job.' I replied. 

'Explains why you're so stylish and beautiful.' Lloyd smirked. I giggled at his remark.

'Thank you.' 

'Lloyd! Chloe! Time to drop anchor!' Jay called from the Bridge. 

We walked to where the others were and they all were in winter coats. 

'Umm..' Lloyd said. 

'It's cold down there so we wanna be prepared.' Nya said. 

'Right.' PIXAL handed me my yellow winter coat and Zane handed Lloyd his.

'Ready, guys?' I asked as we approached the Bridge to prepare for anchor. 'READY, CAPTAIN.' The boys sans Lloyd chorused. Nya dropped the anchor down and we all slid down it. 

'Brrr... it sure is cold here.' my brother said through our coms. Zane said that the winds would make it hard for us to hear each other so, he made us put on our earpieces.   

'Yeah, well the sooner we get done with this the better.' Kai said. 'Zane? Where now?' Nya asked. Zane remained quiet. 

'Zane?' I asked. 'This way. I can feel the Gem.' Zane said. He was pointing to a... mountain! Why is there a mountain in a place where there are supposed to be hills? 

'Huh. Looks like we need to climb a mountain to reach every gem.' Jay said. 'I don't know why, but I think it's a test to see if we are worthy to own the Gems...' I said. 

'And look, there are places where we can stop for a rest.' Lloyd added. 

'Well, here goes nothing.' Kai said. He jumped up and before he could grab a rock someone said something! 

But not through our earpieces. 'Um, did anyone else hear that?' I asked. Everyone nodded. 

'Sounded like Mom.' Cole whispered to me. I looked at him in disbelief. We haven't heard Mo- I mean Stone's voice yet. The only way we could know it was her voice was if it was similar to our mother's.  

'How? I-I mean we don't know for sure!' I whispered back. 

'You do know for sure.' The voice said again. Everyone's head whipped around to the source and lo and behold, Garmadon was there with his whole army! 

God, I just wanna kick that stupid smirk off his face right now. Everyone including me was now in a fighting stance. 

Stone appeared behind Garmadon and said, 'My dear daughter and son! How long has it been?' She smirked. I growled and felt Cole and Lloyd's gaze on me. 

'Don't be so sour, darling. We both know deep down inside you've always wanted to be with me and on my side. Both of you.' She said gesturing to Cole. I could hear him growl. 

I looked at him and he nodded. 'We man have before this crazy adventure, but now we don't even wanna think about it. We are never, joining you and Garmadon and your crazy army.' I said trying my best to not swear. 

Stone pretended to be sad but that didn't fool me. 

'All right. I guess we'll just have to do this the hard way.' She said. What? 

Almost 20 of the Crystal Warriors came running at us with their spears and swords and everything! And none of us were even prepared for that! 

'Ninja, get ready. This is gonna get rough!' Lloyd said after he punched one of the Crystal Warriors with a ball of energy.

'They're trying to prevent us from reaching the Gem!' Nya said landing a kick on one of their heads. 

'Zane! Get to the top now!' I yelled before one of the Warriors hit my back. 'Argh!' I gasped out. BAM! My head hit the snowy ground with a light thud. I groaned and slowly lifted myself from the ground. 

'Angel! Are you okay?' Lloyd asked me his tone laced with worry. 'Y-yeah. I'm fine.' I said smiling at him. 

Then, I noticed a Warrior running behind Lloyd with a spear in his hand! 

'DOWN!' I yelled. Lloyd quickly did so and I sent a ball of light towards him. 

'Huh, we are an amazing duo.' Lloyd said getting back up. 'True that.' I said. We faced back-to-back and managed to get a few hits on some of the Warriors until Zane spoke through our coms.

'I got the Gem! Everybody make your way to the Bounty! I will be there soon!' He said. 

'Well, you heard the Nindroid. Let's go!' Jay said. We all ran towards the Bounty and Lloyd signaled PIXAL to pull the anchor back up. 

'Did you get the Gem?' We asked. 

'Zane did. He said he'll be here soon.' Lloyd said.

'And here he comes!' Cole yelled. PIXAL sent the anchor down and we all destroyed Zane in a bear hug when he showed up. 

'Keep the Gem in the same place we kept the other one.' Wu said. Zane nodded and came back in a few minutes. 

'Where to now, PIX?' Kai asked. 

'The Gem of Earth is closest. However, according to the Map, Chloe's gem is close to the border of France and Italy. And Cole's gem is more in the center.' PIXAL said. 

'Well, looks like it's my turn.' Cole said 

Let the adventure begin for the third time...
