Chapter 21

Kai's POV

When only four of the five of us arrive back at the Destiny's Bounty, Garmadon seems confused. He looks between the four of us as if Jay is going to walk through the door any second.

"He's held captive again," Lloyd explains,"just this time, it's on purpose."

"What do you mean it's on purpose? Did you get the gemstone?" Garmadon asks. We all shake our heads.

"My sister, she's on our side now," I explain. "She's going to grab some of the gemstones and give them to Jay, who is going to bring them back to us."

"You converted Nya?"

"Well, it was pretty much all Jay, but yeah. She's with us now," Cole answers for all of us. We nod in agreement.

"Are you sure she's not tricking you?" Garmadon asks, hesitant.

"Well, no, but this is our best chance," Lloyd tells him. Garmadon nods, pausing to think for a second.

"The journey to the next gemstone is a long one. The Lapis of Lightning is in a temple in Birchwood Forest. Since the wind conditions get too unpredictable, you will have to travel over a day on foot," he tells us, making me groan internally.

"Mom is staying in the city to take care of the opening week of the museum," Lloyd tells his dad, who nods.

"It's probably best that way. Once Wu gets back, we can start on our way," Garmadon informs us before starting to walk away. "You four should probably get to bed. It's going to be a long couple of days," he advises.

The four of us go to our shared room to get ready for bed. Two bunk beds line the walls, one for myself and Zane and the other for Jay and Cole. On the floor between the beds, there's a mat for Lloyd to sleep on.

"Hey Lloyd, since Jay isn't here again, you can sleep above me if you want," Cole offers. Lloyd shakes his.

"No thanks. I'm fine with what I have."

I go and grab all of our pajamas from the clean laundry, handing them out to each of us. A while back, Jay insisted we all get coordinating pajamas to "boost team morale". It ended up sticking, and we all still wear them.

"I call first dibs on the bathroom," I tell the rest of the guys, sticking my tongue out. They all groan.

"No offense Kai, but you take at least double the time of all of us. Shouldn't you go last?" Cole suggests. I shake my head.

"Nope, I won dibs fair and square."

"I think it would be wise to settle this with a game of rock, paper, clamp," Zane suggest. When both Lloyd and Cole agree, I sigh. Grudgingly, I stick my hand in. At the count of three, we all stick our hands out. While the three of them have their hands curled up, mine is flat.

"Ha! Paper beats rock!" I celebrate. They groan. "And since it'll be a while until we can shower again, I'm sure as hell taking a long shower."

Nya's POV

All of my sisters look at me, stunned by the tied up Jay in front of them. We came onto the ship earlier than the rest of them. After giving him a quick tour, I brought him down to my workshop with all of my inventions since not only will people not come in the room regularly, but the door has a lock. Then, I tied him up and waited for my sisters to come back from the banquet.

Now that they're back, they're all shocked by the sight in front of them. Jay is fake squirming in the ropes, which I placed to avoid his arm wound, to make it all seem more believable. He also messed up his hair a little bit to make it seem like I actually kidnapped him.
