My Protector (Lloyd X Reader)

Chapter 34

"Yeah! Haha!" Griffin cheers.

"Sink the ferry," Jay instructs. "No one's getting off this island."

"Yeah," Bolobo says before using his staff and power to sink said ship.

"The palace and sleeping quarters are all clear. Still no sign of Chen and Clouse," Cole reports.

"What about Skylor?' Kai asks.

"She wasn't able to pick her family, but she was able to pick her friends," Lloyd says. "And since you're her friend, that means so are we. We'll find her."

'I'm still not happy she betrayed us,' Y/n thought.

"He's right," Cole agrees. "With no way off the island, it'll only be a matter of time."

"I'm proud of you six," Garmadon says. "You've done what the original Elemental masters never could: stick together."

"Well, that's a bit offensive for the original elemental masters, Garmadad," Y/n joked as everyone briefly laughed together.

"But you must not rest on your laurels, for your guard is down when you sleep."

"The island is secure. We destroyed the elemental staff and Chen's attempt to turn his army into Anacondrai has rolled up snake eyes," Nya says.

"Good work, Nya," Sensei Wu compliments on-screen.

"How is Zane?" Misako asks.

"He's good," Nya replies. "A little different, but then again, aren't we all?"

"The Bounty is nearly finished. As soon as it's done, we'll come by to pick you up," Sensei Wu says.

"I look forward to coming home to see you two," Nya says as the Falcon pecks at the screen. "Heh, I mean, you three."

Stuck on the island, Chen and the remaining men are hiding from the Elemental Masters behind a waterfall with Skylor chained to a rock.

"I hate to admit it, but maybe Chen losing his arm wasn't such a bad thing," Kapau says.

"I know, I was thinking the same thing!" Chope says.

"Look at us. We're in his inner circle," He spun in a circle.

"And he trusts us to guard his daughter."

Skylor smiled, waving her arms as the chain rattled. The two guards spun around and pointed their spears at her.

"I have to scratch my face," Skylor tells them, using Kapau's spear to scratch her face. "Thank you."

"Huh?" Eyezor turned around, growling at the two guards.

"I couldn't have asked for a better pet," Clouse says. "Garmadon will pay for what they've done.'

"Yeah, yeah, big tear for the snake. Can we get on with it?" Chen asks. "The Blade-Copter should be fixed by now and I have to get off this island. You serve me, remember?"

"He's not a snake, Master, he's a serpent," Clouse replies. "And might I remind you my pet never betrayed us. That was your daughter."

"Leave her out of this! She held up her end of the bargain and used her powers to break them up. It's not her fault she got a little boy crazy at the end," Chen defends his daughter.

"That's it. She's absorbed all of their powers. How could we be so blind?"

"Right. We're not blind. We see clearly," Chen says. "Uh, and what is it that we see so clearly?"

"Master, perhaps there's another way to get what you want," Clouse says.

Chen walked up to the two guards. "Free her."
