The Truth

Chapter 4

All it took was a little white lie about staying by his parents. Lukily, they were away for the day so he could try to find garmadon without any distractions.

Jay was kinda suprised he didn't think about him sooner. If anyone would give him the truth, it would be garmadon.

Unsure of where to start, jay decided to try the toxic bogs. They were just as terrible as the last time a few years ago. He walked around after putting his vehicle in park. After his broke, he remembered that he kept a motor cycle at his parents that he used against the time twins.

Jay huffed as the toxic fumes went up his nose. It smelled horrible and he plugged his nose as he continued walking through the swamp.

After an hour or so jay decided that garmadon wasn't here and made the long trek back to his vehicle. He pondered where else he could be and decided to go to the entrance of the underworld.

He felt the heat of the volcano before he could see it. Growing up in a desert made him used to the sweltering heat. Once there, he stepped down and went to the entrance.

His memories came flooding back of them retrieving the weapons, fighting garmdon, and saving Nya. He walked towards the entrance and looked down. There wasn't much to see but it was worth a shot. He quietly climbed down the vast tunnel. Once down, he hid behind a rock.

Thing looked pretty much the same as they had left it. The Ferris wheel was still up and there were a couple of skeletons hanging about. He decided to use stealth. There wasn't any reason to start anything.

He quietly made his way through bare rooms. The frustration was becoming too much when he suddenly saw kruncha alone. He'd beaten him before without problem so this wouldn't be hard.

Jay ran and threw him behind a rock.

"Hey. What's the big id..."

Before he could finish, jay clamped a hand on his mouth.

"Listen to me. All I want to know is if garmdon is down here" whispered jay.

Kruncha gulped and shook his head. While he didn't like doing it, he sent a mild jolt toward him. Kruncha jumped in the air.

"I could keep going..." jay said ominously.

"No please. That was painful. Why did you come here?" said kruncha as he rubbed his arm.

"Like I said before, I want to know if garmdon is here" said Jay.

"I can assure you he's not. Please let me go" begged kruncha.

Jay could tell he didn't know anything. He let go of kruncha and said "if you tell anyone that I was here, I'll break your bones".

He nodded but as he was leaving he said "you think you and your friends can make us a roller coaster with that tornado thingy?"

"It's tornado of creation and no. Remember don't tell anyone" whispered jay.

Things had been pretty quiet between the skeletons and humans which he hoped to keep that way. He made his way back towards the entrance and up the tunnel.

Jay checked his phone to see no real important texts so he powered it down. He didn't know where to go next. His home was huge and garmdan could be anywhere. He pressed the ignition button on his bike only to be met with nothing. It needed a power boost. He designed the bike so that it could be charged. He closed his eyes to concentrate and nothing came out. He let out a groan and put his head in his hands which gave him a painful shock.

"Why are my powers being so weird?!? Stupid lightning. It's not even a real element anyway" grumbled jay.

He decided to try again. First taking a deep breath and focusing. Soon enough, he was able to send a shock towards the bike and charge it. He smiled as he reved it up. With no real sense of where to go next, he began driving.
