The Elemental Masters and Garmadon rode on a blimp above the island.
"What are you looking at, Zippy?" Jay questioned noticing Griffin staring at him
"The next one out of the Tournament" Griffin replies smirking
"I wouldn't doubt that" Aria comments
"You shut your mouth" Jay says annoyed
Aria sticks her tongue out at him "so remind me again how you hurt your leg?"
"I-I tripped" Jay lies
"Mhm" Aria crosses her legs
"Why so scared to show us your back, Shadow? Worried we're gonna find a tattoo and know you're working for Chen?" Kai questions
"I hope this next fight is between you and me, because I'm gonna put you on your back" Shade replies
"Tensions are high" Garmadon says to Lloyd
"Yeah, not as high as we are now. Can hardly see the island from up here" Lloyd looks out the window before looking at Aria "what are we doing?"
"Just a little game of cat and mouse" Aria replies with a smug look
Neuro stood up "I've had enough of this. I can't stand heights. Where's Chen?" He opens the door to the control room, but no one's piloting it "Ugh!"
The other elemental masters gathered around while Aria stayed in her seat.
Chen appears on screen "How do I know if this thing's on? Oh, oh, oh, I see, the light. Oh, oh, I'm on? Right now? Ahem, ahem. Hello, final eight. I see you are all eager for the tournament to commence so one of you can win my Staff of Elements. Instead of fighting for a Jadeblade, today you will be fighting for something different"
He shows them a video of Nya.
"We have an uninvited guest on the island. Find her and you will automatically move onto the final round!" Chen announces

"He wants us all to hunt her down?" Jay questions "She won't stand a chance"
"In ten seconds, the bottom will drop" Chen says and everyone gasps "But to show you I'm not a bad man, I've given you eight parachutes... Sensei Garmadon is there? Shoot, that makes nine. Oh, well, I was never good at math. Heh. Toodle-oo."
"That guy's love for trapdoors is seriously getting on my nerves!" Lloyd shouts
The bottom opens and everyone falls.
"Lloyd, use your Energy Dragon!" Jay shouts
Lloyd tries to, but fails "I can't! I can't get it to work!"
Jay catches a parachute "I got one! I got one! Hahaha!"
"Your powers don't work because you aren't controlling your fear. Focus." Garmadon instructs "Control your fear. Don't let it control you. Center yourself."
Kai grabs a parachute "There's only one parachute left that I can see"
Lloyd and Garmadon both grab the last one
"They're only built for one. This is an easy decision" Garmadon says
"You're right" Lloyd opens the parachute for Garmadon and lets go.
"Lloyd!" Garmadon shouts
"Yo greenie"
Lloys looks beside him to see Aria just falling in a sitting position.
"Ok it's official, you are crazy!" Lloyd shouts
"I'll take that as a compliment" Aria shrugs "oh well, time to save your life"
"What?" Lloyd looks confused
Aria puts her parachute on him and activates it.
"I'm going to end up single if he keeps saving people" Aria mutters to herself
Her eyes glowed purple and she used her powers to drop herself into the lake. She swam to the top and spit out water.
"Ugh, it makes me sick" Aria climbed out of the water "I love my boyfriend but saving his life is getting exhausting, can't I just lock him up and be over with this already"

Chen comes on speakers "Hail, combatants, I have left a few treats to help you in the hunt. I hope you use them wisely"
"Finally, it's game time" Aria stretches "time to catch some mice"
-
Chen presses a few buttons in the D.B. Express.
"Master, if our men couldn't find her, why do you think they will fare much better?" Clouse questions "If the girl gets that spell to the Ninja, all of our plans will be jeopardized."
"Oh, Clousey Clouse. There's a reason why I'm the Master and you're my pupil. Why should I worry about the remaining fighters rising up against me, when after today there'll be no fighters remaining? The little treats I gave them are tracking their every move. This little game isn't about them hunting the girl, it's about hunting them" Chen laughs.
"You know you shouldn't say your plan so loud" Aria throws Neuro into the holder.
"Ooo nice catch" Chen claps excitedly
"Only 6 minutes in and you've already caught one" Clouse smirks "excellent"
"I'll be back with more in a bit" Aria hops out
-
Fianlly, Kai is thrown in with the other Masters except Lloyd.
"Don't worry. Lloyd will come for us" Jay assures them
Aria starts laughing "Oh trust me, we're planning on it"

Of Men and Dragons, Book 1
Book 1 is now available on Kindle, or in paperback/hardcover! You can buy it here! Jack crash-landed on a planet where the natives are seven-foot-tall carnivorous cat-lizards currently somewhere between stone and bronze age. The good news is the natives think the ship that crashed into their mountain is a dragon and are steering clear of it. The bad news is they just left one of their own as a sacrifice to appease the beast. No matter what Jack and his AI co-pilot decide, his life just got a lot more complicated... ATTENTION: This is soft sci-fi rather than hard sci-fi, hence why I chose that tag. For those of you unfamiliar with the distinction, here's what Wikipedia had to say. 1. It explores the "soft" sciences, and especially the social sciences (for example, anthropology, sociology, or psychology), rather than engineering or the "hard" sciences (for example, physics, astronomy, or chemistry). 2. It is not scientifically accurate or plausible; the opposite of hard science fiction. Soft science fiction of either type is often more concerned with character and speculative societies, rather than speculative science or engineering. The term first appeared in the late 1970s and is attributed to Australian literary scholar Peter Nicholls.

Young acolyte Wille has never seen the walls fail, but when a fellow nun is murdered within their sanctum the very safety of the monastery is thrown into question. Did the Gol find a way to breach their defences, or is there a human traitor amongst them? The answer lies both far in the past and deep beneath the earth, through the maze of ancient catacombs.

Discover the secrets of Palus Somni through letters, diary entries and notes found scattered across the monastery.

Slice of life meets cosmic abomination: Palus Somni is a collection of intertwining stories, some chapters are stand-alone tales while others feed into the overarching narrative.

A lovely flower eventually touched after thousands of years of living in peace, some bad elements plucked that flower from its natural habitat. The white fox girl never knows what's good and bad, letting them cage her effortlessly without minding their evil sneers because of her over-the-clouds excitement. Finally, the white fox girl realizes she has been treated as nothing more than a prey item ready to be devoured.

Before her senses faded, that glowing angel descended, knelt in front of her, and wiped away her tears.

Even if it was a mere single moment, that gratitude and that smile of hers were the happiest things she could ever express. Time has passed, and the sun has risen from its slumber. The soul of the thousand-year-old white fox girl finally ascended to heaven, leaving her lifeless, cold body behind, leaning against rusted metal poles.
