Miraculously from Ninjago | Stranded in Etheria

46 - Friends and Rivals

----------Kai's POV-------------

The little frost girl tied a rope around each of our hands, then pointed in a direction.

"Move!" she ordered, then she created a spear made of ice and jabbed it at Catra.

"Hey! Watch it," the feline screeched.

"Don't talk back, Horde scum!"

"Hold it together, Wildcat," Scorpia warned.

Catra took a deep breath, then exhaled. "Okay. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled."

"Move!" Frosta repeated, and this time, we all obeyed without protest.

We walked in silence for a while, but the quiet was kind of boring. 

"So, uh, how do you and Tiny Elsa over there know each other?" I asked Scorpia.

"We met at Princess Prom. She was the host," she explained. "She may be small, but she's a really strong member of the rebellion."

"Good to know," I muttered, then my expression grew sad. 

"Somthing wrong?" Scorpia asked. 

"It's nothing," I said quickly. "Frosta just reminds me of someone, that's all."

"Shut it, Spiky Hair!" Frosta commanded. "No talking until we get to Bright Moon."

-----------------Lloyd's POV--------------

"This is pointless!" I cried out, frustrated. "We've been at it for hours, and nothing's happening!"

"We can't give up," y/n said. "Not yet. Come on, try again."

I sat down with my back against the wall. "It's no use, y/n. I can't do it."

"Yes, you can," she said, crouching down beside me. "It's just like when you were learning to control your powers. You just need to focus--direct all your attention to the energy flowing through your veins. "

"This is different! I didn't even know I was part dragon until today--how am I supposed to access an ability if I don't know exactly what it is?"

"It'll come to you," she assured me. "Just keep trying."

I took a deep breath, then closed my eyes. I focused on becoming one with my dragon self, whatever that means. I clenched my jaw and dug my fingernails into my knees as a strange feeling washed over me. 

"I saw something," I gasped, opening my eyes. "There was a light--a golden light--and wings."

y/n thought for a moment, then she hit her forehead with the heel of her hand. "Argh, I am so stupid!" 

"Huh?" 

"We've been wasting our time with this!" she realized. "We could have just summoned our elemental dragons!"

I groaned and held my head in my hands. "Why didn't I think of that?" 

"Elemental dragons?" Adrien wondered. 

"We've never used them to move across realms, but it's worth a shot," y/n said, waving Adrien off.  

 I nodded, and then the three of us climbed back up to the top of the building. y/n and I glanced over the edge, then turned to each other, each with a determined look in our eyes. 

"Okay, this is how it's gonna work," I said, turning to Adrien. "We're going to jump off the edge, and then y/n and I will summon our dragons. We'll probably catch you before you hit the ground."
