*~*~*

Eventually, (Y/N) was brought back inside the bounty by Wu when it became dawn. He had invited her to meditate with him just to clear her mind. Both of them have been awfully quiet & distant since Lloyd & Packy got abducted by the Serpentine. Well, technically they didn't really get abducted. But still.

Wu had sensed that (Y/N) wasn't her usual emotionless self. He had explained to her that he was feeling was she was feeling. The same feeling she had felt in the dark days back in Mayhew. Finally deciding that she should take her mind off of what happened, she agreed. But then she yawned. She barely got any sleep last night. With all those thoughts swerving around in her head. There was no way she was able to just close her eyes & fall into slumber so easily.

When the two got in, (Y/N) noticed a small katana laying in a case. But, she didn't say anything. She knew that she had nothing to do with it. She sat down across from Wu & began to meditate. But not five minutes later, she heard faint voices.

"Five hundred? Ha, try a thousand," said Kai.

"Hahaha, I do a thousand & one," Bragged Jay.

"What is this, amateur hour?" Asked Cole. "Sounds like my warm-up. Sensei, what does True Potential look like if-" but he stopped as he saw Wu put away the katana & (Y/N) writing something in some sort of journal. The ninja bowed apologetically.

"Our apologies, Sensei. We've interrupted you," Spoke Zane.

"I'm sorry if I've been distant lately. My mind has been elsewhere since Lloyd has gone missing. & (Y/N) seems to be more emotionless now that Packy isn't here. What can I help you with?"

"Sensei, what if we've done enough training?" Cole asked. "What if we've reached our True Potential? What if we're ready?

"Hm. You might have reached peak physical condition, but you've yet to reach your inner potential. In each & every one of us, there are obstacles that hold us back. Only when you conquer that fear will your heart be free. Only then will you reach your True Potential. Only then will we have a fighting chance to stop the Serpentine from releasing the Great Revourer."

"There's more to the Great Devourer than you've led on, isn't there, Sensei?" Zane asked.

"I too have obstacles within my own heart. There's a story I've never told you." Then the ninja & (Y/N) made sure they paid close attention. "Long ago, when I was a young boy, Garmadon and I were more than brothers. We were the best of friends."

"Wait a minute," Jay interrupted. "Now, I know you two were brothers, but really? The King of Cruelty, the Doer of Destruction, the Captain of Chaos, & you two were friends?"

"Please, no interruptions. You see, he did not always have a wicked heart. One day, I lost this very katana. Knowing our father would be mad, my brother told me to go retrieve it. But I refused. He told me not to put off what can be done today and went to get it himself. When my father found him, he was very ill, for he was bitten by a legendary snake that would grow forever as long as it consumes. A great evil had found its way into my brother's heart, for the snake's venom could turn the purest of things wicked...The snake is the same one the Serpentine want to reawaken today...It is the snake that took my brother away from me."
