"In the time it took you to get here, Chen has taken over the entire Eastern seaboard and is moving inland. With each village destroyed, they grow stronger." Nya explained.
"How are we supposed to stop them? Most of us have lost control of our Dragons, not to mention we're outnumbered ten to one." Gravis, the master of gravity, stated.
"Actually, 62.4 to one." Zane answered, silencing everyone.
"Look, I'm scared like the rest of you," Lloyd began, his words cutting through the tense atmosphere. "It may look like we've lost, but it's not over."
As his teammates listened intently, their attention drawn to Lloyd's words, he continued, his gaze sweeping over each of them before settling on Saya. She stood by his side, her hand gripping his tightly, a silent reassurance.
"When we thought we lost Zane," Lloyd continued, his voice softening with emotion, "it nearly tore us apart. But we didn't quit. We let it fuel us. We grew stronger."
Beside him, Saya nodded in agreement, her heart swelling with pride at their resilience in the face of adversity. Zane had returned to them, his presence a testament to their unwavering commitment.
"Now," Lloyd said, his voice filled with determination, "together, we will defeat Chen. We will stand united, drawing strength from each other and from the bonds that hold us together."
Saya then spoke up. "Perhaps," she suggested, her eyes alight with hope, "the Corridors of Elders could be our chance. A chance to beat Chen."
"Corridor of Elders?"
"After he's controlled the East, he'll move West tomorrow and have to pass through Echo Canyons," Saya showed them on the map. "Our best tactical position is to make our stand where it bottlenecks: here, at the Corridor of Elders, the monuments honoring our ancestors. It's the narrowest channel, but our greatest chance."
As the team absorbed Saya's suggestion, a moment of silence followed before Master Wu stepped forward, his eyes reflecting admiration. "Saya, your quick thinking may have just given us the advantage we need," he said, his voice resonating with pride.
Beside him, Garmadon nodded in agreement, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Indeed," he added, his tone tinged with approval. "Your insight shows true leadership potential."
Saya's cheeks flushed with gratitude at their praise, her resolve strengthened by their encouragement.
As Master Wu and Garmadon praised Saya's quick thinking, Lloyd couldn't resist flashing her a mischievous grin. "Saya," he said, his tone playful yet affectionate, "looks like you've been stealing all the good ideas again. You're making us all look bad."
He nudged her playfully, a twinkle in his eye betraying his teasing nature. Saya rolled her eyes in mock exasperation, but there was warmth in her gaze as she returned his smile.
