《The Tale Of Lloyd Garmadon》17

"Floyd"
"My name is Lloyd."
"Whatever, freeze over the lava so we can search for the Fang Blade."
"Yeah sure, I can do that." Lloyd shrugged, using his powers to freeze the lava. "Why do we need the Fang Blades again? They just look like knives to me."
"I've told you, they're the key to obtaining a weapon to use against those who've wronged.... You." Pythor explained as Serpentine dug for the blade.
"They might wanna dig a little faster, I dunno how long the ice'll hold up against the heat of the lava." Lloyd muttered, tapping his fingers against his thumb, trying to regain feeling in his fingertips. Soon enough the serpentine dug up the Fang Blade, and Pythor realized the Ninja were there, leading to the snake making a moment's choice. To betray Lloyd as the ice the boy had created melted, Pythor hit Lloyd with his tail, knocking Lloyd down onto a ledge. "Hey!"
"Apologies Lloyd, but I need a distraction, you don't mind, do you?" Pythor laughed as he escaped. "This was never about getting your revenge anyway Boy."
The ninja, and Garmadon, just barely made it off the bounty before it crashed into the forest below. Upon landing they immediately made their way away from the wreckage, knowing the Sons of Garmadon would be looking there for Lloyd. "How's he doing?" Nya asked Kai as the group walked. Lloyd remained unconscious, so Kai carried him.
"Still out," Kai answered, a worried tone in his voice. "Once we get far enough away, we'll have to make camp so Zane can check on him." Lloyd moved a little, a small twitch of his arm, and grimace appearing on his face for a moment. "Zane, do you think we're safe to stop for a little?"

"For a short while, but not for more then an hour." Zane replied after a moment.
"Fuck." Lloyd mumbled as he climbed up from the ledge he was trapped on, the hot stone of the volcano burning his fingers, at least he could feel them again. He pulled himself up and sat for a moment.
"Kai! Be careful!" He heard one of the ninja, his name might've been Jay, Lloyd couldn't remember, all he could tell was that the red one was coming towards him.
"Are you all-" Kai began, stopping when Lloyd held up lightning, threatening silently to throw it at him. "We're not here to hurt you."
Out of the corner of his eye, Lloyd saw Pythor headed for the exit of the volcano, and chucked the lighting at him, making the snake drop the gang blade. "You brat!" Pythor yelled as the exit was sealed by falling rocks. "You've trapped us all!"
"I die, you die asshole!" Lloyd yelled to him, more lightning buzzing in his hand, it hurt, he knew what the results of using his powers was, he'd had them for months now.
Fire caused burns in the palms of his hands that continued to be burned time and time again before they could heal.
Ice froze his fingers, sometimes to the point where he couldn't move them.
Lightning left marks he knew would eventually scar.
He didn't know what earth would cause yet, he had only used it once.
"He seems to have blacked out because of overuse from his powers. No doubt that dragon he summoned was an accident that drained him to exhaustion." Zane explained, "Though, while checked him over to insure he was alright, I noticed similar scars on his hands and arms to those on Jay, Kai, and Cole's." He gently lifted Lloyd's arm to show the others. "Burn scars, zigzagging scars from lightning, and scars from normal everyday injuries."

"What about his fingertips?" Jay questioned.
Zane, lifted Lloyd's hand a little more. "The remains of frostbite, no doubt from how often he used the ice element of his powers. I assume that if I were human, my hands would have the same scars." Zane set Lloyd's arm back down, "On a lighter note, he should wake up in a few hours. But we need to keep moving, so, Kai, if you'd please carry him so we can go."
