Bleeding Edge ► Ninjago [REWRITING]

| XII | Powers and Car Chases

*Lloyd's POV*

I stood in the middle of the Temple of Light, Scarlett standing next to me. She didn't interfere with what I was doing, considering I was the only one able to accomplish this.

"I can't do this alone, anymore. As long as I have all this power, he'll never stop coming for me..." I frowned. "And now he's after Scarlett, too."

"From here on out, we can't let anything separate us again," Zane said.

"He's right!" Jay agreed.

"Absolutely!" Cole crossed his arms over his chest, nodding.

"Even if he wants my power as well..." Scarlett put a hand on my shoulder. "I have friends to protect me. And we're here to protect you."

"Let's do this!" Kai pumped his fist in the air.

I nodded, putting my hands together. I formed my golden power and it hit the bell, a loud sound ringing.

With that, each power went to the ninja. As soon as I did this, they were trying it out. Kai made fire in his hands, Zane formed an ice ramp above his head, Cole shook the ground, and Jay formed lightning in his arms.

"The elemental power... it's inside us." Zane smiled.

"Fire!" Kai cried, shooting fire from his hand with a wicked smile.

"Haha, anyone shocked to see me do this?" Jay made a lightning heart.

"No dirt off my shoulder!" Cole formed a small mountain of rock under him.

"Chill out!" Zane rode around on his ice ramp.

I smiled at them, glad I was able to give the guys their elemental powers back.

"They're such idiots." Scarlett stood next to me, letting out a small chuckle.

"Maybe, but now they don't need any weapons to unlock their elemental powers," I told her.

"True." She shrugged. "Aw, man. Now I won't be special anymore."

"Hey, you're the one being hunted. I think you're special." I laughed a little, earning a light punch from her. "Shoulder?"

"Better, ish." She shook her head. "It's like... it hurts at times, but the pain goes away at other ones."

"You have to remember, it's Pythor who bit you." I crossed my arms. "Who knows what he put into you?"

"I don't even wanna think about it..." Scarlett shivered. "Let's just hope it's only a bruise."

I nodded, although my mind drifted elsewhere. Having one of our teammates fall in battle would not be the best thing at the moment.

"Yeah... okay."

*No POV*

Garmadon stepped through the elevator, walking inside. Wu stood next to Zane, Scarlett and PIXAL, who were typing on the computers.

"Any update on the search?"

"Our cameras haven't picked up any trace of Pythor or Borg, but the ninja are in the field where we don't have eyes," Wu answered.

"No signs of nindroids in the Toxic Bogs," Lloyd spoke through the screen.

"Oh, think you can search the Glacier Barrens? I think I'll be heading over to check out another place," Scarlett told him.
