Orchid romance

25

We all watched the Garamadon on the ground as he started to writhe in pain. I could barely watch as a full grown man screamed in pain. His skin slowed turn from pale to a nasty shade of purple. His skin wasn't even skin anymore, it was scales.  I could hear bone crack as they reformed. He grew a tail. By the time it was finished I could barely recognize him anymore. 

Garmadon finally stood back up and looked at his hands in what seems like shame. "The spell...the spell, it's completed. If everyone with the mark of the Anacondrai is affected, that means..." He trailed off as he looked behind all of us. I followed his eyes to see a swarm of snakes coming at us. Oh this will either be fun or painful. 

I hobbled myself to the back of the crowd only to see the snakes cutting all of us down like it was no one's business. There only one thing I can do at the moment seeing as I can't fight properly. I sign and reach  to all of the snakes shadows. 

'Kid, this might not be smart. remember what happened last time?'

'Let her James. She stronger than last year.'

'Don't blame me when she dies.'

Wow thank you so much for he support. I feel all of their forces and like the overlord they are strong. But not strong enough. I can freeze them all to still. Maybe not for to long. I can feel them all fighting against me and my will. I need to help.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!" Good, they got the idea. I'm pretty sure these guys wouldn't be kill able even when they can't move. "Come one (Y/N)!" I blink for a moment as Pale starts to drag me towards the palace.

I try to run but end up falling a couple times in the process. Screw my leg! Sadly, I could feel my strength slipping and the snakes started to charge at us again. At least we got the chance to retreat. 

As soon as we enter the palace, the door slammed close behind. Followed by banging from the snakes. This could be worse. 

Behind me was a loud gasp and the sound of electricity. Jay. "Snake among us!" He was about to fight Garmadon. Is he blind and dumb? I summoned a shadow that wrapped around him and held him up in the air. 

"That's Garmadon dumby. How did you not see him change?" I rub my temple as I feel a small headache appear. 

Jay struggles in air as he stopped his lightning finally. "First it was four arms, then you became a dragon. Would you mind picking a body and sticking with it, please?" He paused his struggle to talk but continued as soon as he stopped. "Can you put me down please!" I smiled and rolled my eyes as I let him fall to the ground suddenly. 

The banging got louder as Cole called out to us. "Could use a little help." I glanced down at my leg before getting up to help. There as to be something I can do. I could try and freeze them again. 

'It's easiest when they don't know what to look for. They will feel your presence and stop it before you can reach them.'

I sigh as I watch people started to push against the door. Something has to give. Either we will or they will. But I have a bad feeling about this no matter what. Then what can I do if you are so smart?

'No need for the sass kid.'

Oh I'm so sorry. I think you deserve it for not believing in me. So suck it up.

'I'm sorry. There isn't much you can do. This one you will just have to hope your friends have enough strength by themselves.'

I hate this feeling. I hate watching others do something while I'm stuck because I'm to weak to help. The banging continue for what seemed to be an hour. It was probably shorter realistically. But then it just stopped. This couldn't be right.
