Spy for a Spy

(Next chapter, people! First one of the year. Hope you enjoy.)

After the whole Thunderblade battle, I told the guys about what I have planned. How if we are to stop Chen, we have to play his rules, but also use them to our advantage. They did not understand at first, so I told them that while we won, we need to keep up a charade. After that, we separate and I met with Neuro, Griffin and Paleman, telling them how appreciative I am of their efforts but then tell them to pretend to be against the guys and I because Chen will do anything to drive a wedge between all of us. (Play smart. Not hard.) Neuro understood though Griffin and Paleman were confused, so I clarified by telling them to pretend that helping the guys and I was just for 'getting in good so they won't expect striking us down.' They understood then. But I did not tell Skylor. Something about her is just... Off. (I wonder what~?)

We all then went back to sleep. In the morning, we had another battle, it being Tox, Master of Poison, against the Master of Shadow, Shade. Have to admit, Shade can be formidable. His powers also reminds me of when Kai and I fought our own at the Fire Temple against Garmadon. A banquet was then held but I took a moment to check on Cole. I saw him and felt... happiness. I did not have time to dwell on it as Garmadon found me and we went to go eat. At least the food is good.

Cole's P.O.V.

I whistle happily as I pick up some fortune cookies and place them on a plate Karloff holds. "Why you whistle? Yesterday Cole was sad. Not today. What changed?" I stop whistling and look at Karloff. "Things are looking up, Karloff. We came here to find a friend, and I found him. All I gotta do now is get Zane and bust him out." I explain with a smile. "Ho, not so easy. Chen's made it nearly impossible to escape this place." Karloff says. "I'm still working out the details, but Zane's a nindroid, a walking computer. If I can get to him, he'll solve anything Chen throws at us in no time." I say with a chipper tone.

I hear Karloff sigh, "Karloff wished he had friend like that." He says. I feel bad for him but I have to stick with the plan. That I have so far. "But first order of business, I gotta let the others know I'm busting him out." I state, grabbing a cookie and putting a message in it. "You our message in cookie?" Karloff asks as I place it on the plate. I chuckle, "I know, right? That's why it's called a fortune cookie." I say. "Well, if you get out, don't focus out Karloff." I look over to find guard nearby. "Yeah, sure. Of course." I grab the plate. "Special order for the banquet's ready." I say. He takes it and I smile as he walks off. "I hope you have good fortune for it to end up in the right hands." "You and me both, Karloff. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get out of here." I respond.

The guard at the door reaches for the plate and I gasp, but his hand got slapped. Whew! (Close one. 😮‍💨) But then I see the keys attached to his belt. And that gives me an idea.

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

Kabuki performed as I, the guys, Garmadon and the other remaining Elemental Masters sit at a table in the main building. I sit in-between Lloyd and Paleman then some kabuki place dishes on the table. "Try the horned wasp eggs. Deeeelicious." Chen requests. I watch as it jiggles when Lloyd pokes it. "Uh... I-I think I'll pass." He declines. "Well, I'm curious." I pick up up chopsticks and grab an egg. I eat it and... it's surprisingly tasty. "Huh. Not bad." I comment. "Ho, Ho. That's the spirit, Master of Life." I ignore Chen and eat another egg. What? When you live on the streets, you can't be picky with what you find to eat. (Facts.) "And lighten up, Green Ninja. This isn't a trick. This is a feast to celebrate the nine of you making it to the second round." He announces, his kabuki laughing and cheering for him.

I look over at a bowl filled with soup and eyeballs. Do I dare? Yes. Yes, I do. "And I must congratulate the Master of Shadow's defeat over Master of Poison. She was a bit hard to swallow, am I right?" I roll my eyes at Chen's pun. I have another eyeball as Chen orders the kabuki to laugh harder. I swallow and softly scoff at his immaturity.
