3rd Person POV
"Looks like your precious ninja master's gone." Everyone moved to be toward the center of the bridge's walkway as Garmadon continued with,
"Now, come on, La-Loyd. Open the cage. Let out your papa."
"So, now you wanna be my dad?" Lloyd asked bitterly.
"I'm not gonna ask you again, La-Loyd. Open the cage right now."
"One..." Lloyd stood his ground as his father continued counting down.
"Two..."
"Three..."
"I thought that was supposed to work with kids." Garmadon mused to himself before Aeria snarked,
"It does, if we were toddlers."
"Listen, La-Loyd and friends whose names I don't know..."
"I'm Jay." Jay leaped up onto Cole's back to introduce himself.
"It's not a question."
"Oh." Cole pushed Jay off before Garmadon and his pitch to the team,
"Now, for you to make it through this journey alive, you're gonna need someone to teach you the ninja way."
"What do you know about being a ninja?" Lloyd questioned, full of doubt.
"Oh, I know plenty, La-Loyd. You don't get to be a warlord without knowing a thing or two about the ninja arts. The dark ninja arts." Garmadon began to shake the bars of his cage, growling and hissing like a wild animal, thoroughly creeping everyone out.
"You're a ninja?"
"Indeed, I am. As a matter of fact, I wrote the book on Ninjelligence." Garmadon somehow pulled out a copy of the book from under his cape.
"Why are there so many one-star reviews?" Jay asked as he looked up the book on his phone, no one really wondering how long he's had it with him or how it was even getting a signal out in the middle of the jungle.
"I think that's trolls, personally."
"Oh."
"We don't need your book, Garmadon. Wu is our master." Lloyd replied stubbornly.
"Well, Wu is gone. And you're gonna need me to get you out of this jungle, or you're all gonna die."
"Oh, great! We're all gonna die."
"We're not gonna die, Jay."
"And while I'm keeping you alive, maybe I'll teach you some of my sick dark ninja move like the Buzzkill." Garmadon pulled a bug out from behind his cage and killed it in a splatter.
"Wow." All the ninja except for Lloyd and Aeria wowed at his move.
"The Miso Slap."
"Wow."
"Or the Chainsaw Chop."
"Wow."
"Or the Dance of Doom."
"Wow."
"Hang on just a second. This is Garmadon we're talking about. We can still make it to the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon on our own. We just have to remember what Master Wu taught us." Lloyd tried to convince his team, but his effort fell flat when Cole retorted with,
"All I can remember is we really need a ninja master. And you are not a ninja master."
"Alright," Aeria sharply cut in with a fierce tone, "Would you guys quit givin' Lloyd such a hard time he already feels bad enough about the situation as it is."
