"I got some of your pictures!" Lloyd turned the bag upside down and everything fell out. Currently he, Kai and Nya were sitting cross-legged in the middle of our bunker room. Nya's face lit up when she saw the cat, "Stuffins!"

Kai chuckled, "Better not let the others find out."

The raven grinned and cuddled Stuffins as they looked through the stuff Lloyd had brought over, "I also grabbed some of my mom's stuff, but I haven't seen her yet. You know where her bunker is?"

Nodding, Nya stood up, still carrying Stuffins, "Let's go."

The trio ascend the steps, before reaching another corridor. Kai knocked on one of the many doors, and a voice from inside signalled for them to come. They pushed open the door, to see Ronin leaned back on a chair, fiddling with his hat, whilst a grey-haired older woman was stitching up some fabric. Looking up, she peered through her glasses, and she grinned, "Son!"

Jumping up, she ditched her sewing stuff, before embracing his mother tightly, "Dad's dead, Mom."

"I know, I know. We'll fight for him. We won't stand down."

They pull away and Lloyd hands her the bag, "I er...went back to Ignacia, picked up some stuff. Thought you might want them..."

Misako took the bag, before tipping everything out onto the desk, "Oh, this is perfect! Thank you, so much!"

"It's no problem-" he was cut off by Ronin.

"Yeah, yeah. Okay, Yang keeps pestering me to ask you the minute you'd gotten back from Ignacia. Have you made up your mind?"

Lloyd hopped from one foot to another, "I have...but I have some conditions."

"Yeah, well they'd better be good. That interview has our people hating the Capitol more then ever.

Lloyd frowned, "What interview?"

"When you guys were in Ignacia, there was an interview with Cole and Seliel. They looked crushed, tortured. They were saying stuff and it angered everyone." Nya quietly explained, "They don't mean it-"

"Sweetheart, what did I tell you?"

"They're doing what they can to survive!" Nya snapped, "Even if it means saying and doing stuff they don't want to." she added softly, before leaving with Stuffins.

"What 'stuff' is she on about?" Kai asked confusedly. Ronin shook his head, "They wanted to call a ceasefire, it got people pretty pissed off."

Lloyd knocked on the door as he wielded a piece of paper containing his terms and conditions, if they wanted him to be the dragon.

"Ah, Lloyd, good to see you. Have you come to a decision?" Yang greeted him as he entered.

"I have. I've decided, I will be your Dragon, but I have some...conditions."

"Go on..."

"I request the rescue of Jay and Seliel Walker-Gordon, Cole Brookstone, Pixal Borg, Morro Garmadon and Wu Garmadon at the earliest opportunity. Murder, attempted murder and assisted murder is illegal, for all but Anacondrai Warriors. Like you did for me, Kai, Nya, Zane and Skylor, they will also receive a full pardon, and immunity."

"Absolutely not."

Lloyd stared at Yang, with disbelief, "It's not their fault they got taken. They're doing and saying whatever they can to survive."

"Individuals don't have the right to make demands here. There will be a tribunal, not fair judgement. Thank you."

The blonde stood his ground, "They will be granted immunity and you will announce that in front of the entire population of the Rebels. You will hold yourself and your government responsible or you will find another Dragon."

"That's it. That's him, right there. That's the fire, the stubbornness I told you about. He gets it from the Smiths. I tell you, he is perfect. Gunfire, a hint of smoke, the suit, and we have our Dragon. Sir, we are losing ground, because people are losing heart. This is worth the risk. He's worth the risk. I think a few rules can be bent here, right?" Dareth tried to reason with Yang. The Rebel leader sighed, "Anything else?"

Lloyd rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly, "We get to keep the cat."

"What are you two up to?" Skylor asked, shutting the door behind her. Nadakhan massaged his forehead, "Dilara and I have plotted any locations within the Capitol that are mainly used for hostages. Yang wants us to find out where they're hiding the rest of that squad of yours."

"Oh, well there's an announcement at 3. Gotta report to that." Skylor mentioned. Dilara smiled, "Thank you. Is there any food here? I haven't eaten since breakfast."

The redhead chuckled, "I'll get you a sandwich. Want anything, Nadakhan?"

"Uh...just an instant noodle pot will do."

"You got it."

After she left, Dilara turned to her husband, "What are we gonna do with those guys? The Rebels are pissed!"

"I don't know. Yang wasn't specific. He wants us to figure out the location, and arrange a squad to retrieve them."

"Have anyone in mind?"

"I have some ideas..." Nadakhan went over and flipped a board over, containing mugshots of some of the members here. Some had their faces crossed out with red marker "Now, these are all the people I thought off, and then I worked from there. I crossed out these people because they're better off helping from here, or I have another plan for them. Thus creating the perfect team!"

Dilara peered at the pictures, "It's perfect! Now we have to hope they'll say yes."

"I wouldn't worry about that. Since we've been here, these guys have been dying for some action. Trust me, they'll want to do this..."

Okie! Who do you think is in the squad Nadakhan picked out?

NOTE: I apologise for the short chapters!

Okie, bai!

Love, Ali <3
