Guardian Angel (Cole x OC)

The Forgotten Element

All the remaining masters were sent to hunt down Nya while being hunted by Chen and Clouse. Grace and Lloyd were the only competitors left. Meanwhile, Cole and Zane tried figuring out a way for everyone to break out...

"Grace, can you look to see what's going on inside the building?" Garmadon asks as we scoped out the palace from behind the walls. I cringed, and my breath hitched.

"I-I haven't mastered astral projection yet. I'm not sure if I can," I answered, stammering my words a bit. Lloyd put a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"You can do this. I believe in you." He encouraged me. I took a deep breath and nodded, rubbing my hands together and closing my eyes.

"Fiat mihi videre quid agatur." I said while making my palms face the palace. I focused all of my energy and determination on seeing what was going on. Some pictures and glimpses flashed behind my eyelids. It wasn't until I felt something being drained out of someone when I could get a complete visual. I gasped.

"What is it? What do you see?" Nya asked anxiously. My shoulders shuddered and tensed as I began feeling their pain, too, as if I was among them.

"Their...p-powers are being taken...away!" I stuttered while grunting in agony. My brain felt like it was going to fry.

"It's hurting her!" Nya exclaimed.

"No! Don't ever touch someone who is in the middle of astral projection!" Garmie warned before I felt someone grab my upper arms and shake me out of the ceremony. I opened my eyes with my panicked breath and saw I was back in reality. Lloyd was the one who shook me awake and kept staring to wait for me to calm down.

"You're okay, you're okay. You're back here with me. Nya and my dad are here too. You're okay." Lloyd reassured me before pulling me into a hug. My breathing steadied itself, and I could feel the cold sweat going away.

"Chen took everyone's powers. I could feel it happening to everyone there. They were in so much pain." I told them what had happened. Lloyd pulled back and sighed before turning his gaze back towards the palace.

"He knows we're coming. But we can't just hide here and do nothing." Lloyd says, motivated to do something.

"We have to wait until nightfall. There's too many." Nya replied, rejecting his suggestion.

"And then what? Every minute we're out here, he grows more powerful-"

"Son, Chen grows strong by taking from others. But real power does the opposite. It empowers those around you. Like the way you've empowered me, and you just did to Grace a second ago. We will get you to Chen, and you'll destroy his staff." Garmadon bestowed wisdom on his son, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder. I smiled at their bonding and decided to eavesdrop on a couple of the guards.

"Would you look at that? If a foot soldier like Eyezor can move up the chain of command, why can't we? I mean, the guy's only got one good eye, and we each got two. We could spot a ninja twice as fast as he could." The one guard began gossiping and talking shit on his coworker. I couldn't help but chuckle silently. Okay, I like these guys already.

"But he's got a mohawk. And his name: Eyezor. It's got a real ring to it, and it's practical. You know, with his creepy sore eye and all." His guard friend joined in and defended their boss. Wow, this is an actual conversation? I want to be their friend. Is that wrong?

"That's it. That's it. We need names! We need something that'll make us, you know, stand out. I got it. Call me, Kapow!" Kapow said, striking a pose to emphasize his name. He stood proud, high, and mighty as his friend was in awe.
