'TW: blood, fighting, threats, crash collisions, ghost stories, anxiety, emotional anguish.

Everyone looked nothing like what they normally did. Nya was steering The Bounty, making all sorts of twists and turns, speeding it up and slowing it down to try and lose Morro on our tails. He was fast, I didn't understand how he was catching up to us so quickly. How could the wind be so strong? She was holding her breath, taking small gasps only when she needed to. Her ponytail was messy, unlike her true usual self, it had countless strands falling apart at the sides. Jay stood next to her, he was biting the inside of his cheek anxiously, breathing through his nose shakily, though I think it was deliberate. He looked tired. Kai was backed against the wall, looking out of the large glass window to try and spot the monster who took Lloyd from us. I could only see a dark green glow from the dark clouds, I couldn't see him truly. Kai was taking long and deep pants, arms folded, glaring past his eyebrows. His hair was still spiked, just more messy, his lip looked swollen but the bleeding had slowed.
Cole was pacing up and down the wooden floor, his breathing even in exhale and inhale. His hair was a mess and the back of his Gi had a slit down it showing off his dark skin.
Zane was the only one looking too normal. He was just stood next to Wu with no expression, I couldn't focus on his breathing, he looked like he wasn't even doing it.

I felt skittish. I wanted to curl up into a ball and just sob my heart up, but I also wanted to scream at Wu and scream at Morro. I'm sure I probably looked a mess too. I had Lloyd's bloody handprint on my cheek, there was no time to wash it off. My hand had a shard of glass in it that I had to pull out, it wasn't big, but it still hurt. Lloyd's jacket was currently the thing I was using to apply pressure onto it. I haded it because I was ruining the pretty colour, I wanted it to stay the same colour as his eyes but... oh wait. I was turning it red and his eyes did that sometimes. Suddenly the guilt of staining the jacket mostly went away.
My whole body felt like it was trembling though, no amount of jackets could change that.

"Shit!" Kai cursed, all of us turned to him, "Morro's on Lloyd's Dragon!"

He was what now? Oh no, please tell me you're joking. The dragon? No.

"Take positions," Wu commanded, opening the door for them to run out onto the deck again, "Nora, you stay here and keep the ship straight,"

My throat closed up, he was telling me to stay? Why? What? No! I'd never even driven a car and he was putting me in charge of a flying ship! Holy hell!
But I was too anxious to say anything back to him. I wanted to refuse but I couldn't. My friends were running out there trying to stop an evil being who was currently in his prime given the storm swirling around us. They could get hurt, Kai was already suffering, all of them were, they must be tired and bruised. I was the only one mostly fine! I knew I couldn't physically help but I did hurt him twice! Ohmygod I hurt Lloyd too though. Oh my god.
I jumped into action when The Bounty shifted and grabbed the wheel, staring out into the clouds that I couldn't see through.
I desperately wanted to give Morro a peice of my mind. How dare he take away Lloyd from me? Was what he was doing hurting him? I didn't want Lloyd to be hurting. I just wish he came back to me.
My heart clenched painfully. Wu and Misako... this was their fault.
