The Second Master of Wind

Returns and Captured

3rd Person POV

Behind them, some golden sparks dissipated into the air, signaling that Wu had used his elemental dragon to get him and Misako there.

"Mom! Uncle Wu!" Lloyd ran to them and embraced both of them in a big hug before the others came over and joined in.

"What has happened around here while we were gone?" Misako looked around to see the marks left by Aeria's darkness spheres, in the mast and on the deck, as well as the weapons discarded and scattered all over the deck.

Everyone started talking over each other to explain,

"It was Aeria!-"

"-Morro's sister-"

"-who's a master of wind!-"

"-but also the inheritor of the Overlord's powers of darkness-"

"-Pythor's been trying to get to her-"

"-for who knows what!-"

"Hold on!" Wu thumped his staff down to silence everyone, "What do you mean she's the 'inheritor of the Overlord's powers'?"

"The night that Zane and Xia took down the Overlord, a small piece of dark matter was launched away and it infected her, not a lot, but enough to where it created a side of her that's like the Overlord." Lloyd explained and Zane nodded in agreement from beside Lloyd as he carried Xia in his arms after she had gotten knocked out from Aeria's rage overload.

"And she's the Violet Ninja from one of your scrolls," Nya added on before blurting out, "and Lloyd's girlfriend!"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Not anymore she isn't." Kai snarked with his arms crossed.

"If this 'Aeria' is the wielder of the Overlord's powers then it's a good thing we went to get this." Misako held up a small purple mineral that had a swirling gold center and was about the size of a walnut.

"What is that?" Cole asked.

"It's a mineral that is believed to be able to suppress even the darkest heart's evil in a mortal being." Wu responded.

"Aww so we couldn't have used it for Garmadon since he was only partially mortal?" Jay whined out loud, making everyone look at him in disbelief before paying attention again.

"It is said to be made of a piece of the Overlord's dark matter as well as a bit of Golden Power to keep it balanced." Misako added as she pocketed the mineral into her satchel.

"So we just need to get this to Aeria, or should I say Darkstorm," Kai made quote hand motions before continuing, "and she'll be back to her semi-not evil self again?"

"'Semi-not evil'?" Wu questioned confused until Lloyd explained,

"Aeria and Morro grew up on the streets together until she was taken from him and spent her life around criminals, including Ronin, she's had a rough life and it made her a little..."

"Rough?"

"I guess, but she's actually not that bad once you get to know her." Lloyd rubbed his arm a bit as he looked down and a corner of his mouth lifted in a tiny, shy smile. Misako caught on to the action and smiled a bit as well before Zane told everyone,

"We must find her now, Pythor cornered her at the amusement park to get into her head and make her turn against us so he could catch her while she's at her most vulnerable."

"Yeah, but where would we even start looking? She knows Airjitzu and has been able to stay off the radar for years in hiding where she knows she won't be found." Jay asked impatiently.
