*Clara's P.O.V.*

I was a zombie on the breakfast line.

"Let me guess, you're not a morning person?" Asked Lloyd, looking back at me.

I raised a sleepy hand, then replied, "Not really, no."

Garmadon tried not to giggle, but failed miserably as he said, "You haven't changed a bit, Clara." I gave the Sensei a sleepy glare, while Lloyd raised a eyebrow.

During the past few days, the Ninja have became a second family to me. And during the past few days, Garmadon kept dropping comments about our past. It was getting harder for me to lie to my new friends, especially Lloyd. *Sigh*. Maybe I should tell them about my past? Who I'm related to....

But what if they call me a monster?

I dragged myself alongside Lloyd, as a minion crossed his arms, saying, "Uh-uh. Nothing for you!" Garmadon turned to Lloyd, saying, "There's a valuable lesson here, son. If you turn your back on your first evil Sensei, in a effort to go straight..."

"Next!" The man serving the food yelled, as Garmadon concluded, walking away, "You may not be served creamy biscuits."

I managed to control myself from laughing outloud. But I did giggle....

Lloyd told me and Kai, ignoring my giggling mess, "Well I know what we are being served; a bunch of baloney! This isn't a fighting tournament, this is an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers! But we still don't know why."

"Isn't it obvious?..." "He wants to turn into a Anacondrai?" I asked Kai. He shook his head, saying, "No. Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City!" I rolled my eyes tiredly as Kai added, "I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck."

"I'm not so sure," Cole added, who stood next to Kai, "From what Sensei G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister."

"And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane or Clara's children are!" Jay told us, dressed in his pajamas and a bathrobe, "Which is why we all need to take care of our first round to give us more time!"

Cole stared at Jay's PJ's as Jay added, waving a dismissive hand, "Don't look at me, I've already moved on!" "You're opponent got himself kicked out." Cole stated, as the minion got done filling my plate.

As I walked away, Garmadon slid up next to me. As we walked towards Lloyd and Kai, he asked, "How are you feeling?"

My drowsiness was replaced by inner dread.

"Fine, considering the fact my children are kidnapped," I dryly spat, "And you trying to bring to light our past." "The Ninja need to know..." "You don't know anything about me." I growled darkly, as we reached Kai and Lloyd.

I forced a smile until we turned around, to see Jay and Cole arguing over their spilt food! I rolled my eyes as Garmadon sighed, saying, "This Tournament will test them, Lloyd. Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on...."

A gong crashed, causing me to yelp!

Stupid Master Chen and his Stupid gongs!!!

"The tournament of Elements continues. Fun time!" Chen spoke over a speaker, as everyone listened. "Would the following Masters please make their way to their signed arena?

Speed, Gravity, Smoke, Nature, Mind, oh, and last and hopefully not least..."

"Huh, maybe we all got the day off..." Jay said.

The next element shocked everyone.

"DARKNESS!!!" Sing songed Chen!

Wait, that's MY element!

"What?" I gasped.

The Ninja, Sensei Garmadon and I looked at each other as Chen added, "Remember, only one can remain!"

********Time Skip (Cause, again, they do it in the episode)******

I'm gonna skip describing the other battles, (please don't kill me!). But I will mentioned to passed and who didn't.

The different fights went like this:

Griffin Turner, master of Speed faced off against Gravis, master of Gravity. Speed won; Gravity lost.

Neuro, master of Mind, faced off against Bolobo, master of Nature. Mind won; Nature lost, (a shame to, because Zoey would be confussed as to why her dad lost to a mind reader...)

That left me to fight the Master of Smoke.... again.....

Before I was led to the arena, I managed to pull Lloyd off to the side, begging him, "Lloyd, please promise that if I fail... if I lose... that you and the Ninja will find my children. Please!" Lloyd nodded, as pulled me close to him and gave me a kiss on the cheek!

"For Luck." Lloyd told me, as I was led to the arena.

As I stood on a bridge, over a pit of lava with rock pillars, I realized that I had fallen in love. Falling in love with my d....

"Clara, Master of Darkness and Amber! Verses Ash, Master of Smoke!" Chen yelled, as I took a defensive stance.

"FIGHT!!!"

Ash and I raced towards each other, running to the Jade Blade in the middle of the bridge! Ash shook the bridge so badly, I found myself hanging from the bottom of the bridge! The Blade fell onto a rocky pillar, tip point piercing the dirt. Ash ran on top of the bridge while I monkey bared my way towards him!

Kicking my way back through the bridge, I tried to land a kick on the Master of Smoke. Ash simply teleported behind me and allowed me to slide. I got up as Ash laughed madly, sending a wave of Smoke towards me!

Blocking the smoke with my hands, I ran towards him. We threw punches at each other; Ash landed more blows on me than I did him. One punch sent me into the bridge, destroying several boards! I was barely handing on for dear life!

Ash sent 2 blasts of Smoke, causing me to weigh too much weight on the one board I held onto. That board broke and I was now dangling over the lava below! "Woah!" I yelled, staring at the boiling lava!

Using the power of Smoke, I teleported to safety, landing a blow to Ash's jaw. He stumbled back, grabbing the ropes....

That's when I saw it...

The same belt that was on my mother's killer!

****Flashback****

"Leave my daughter out of this, you----!"

BAM!!!

"Where is she?!?" A man yelled, as I watched the 2 from behind a tree trunk. My toddler mind didn't understand too much of what was going on... but I did know that I needed to stay quite....

Mom spit some blood out of her mouth, gasping, "I'll... never... talk...."

The man stabbed mommy! She fell to the ground, her eyes closing shut....

****Present Moment*****

"YOU!" I yelled, as Ash looked at me confusingly.

I sent wave after wave of my Darkness, my eyes tearing up.

Ash grabbed me from behind, whispering into my ear, "Your mother would be so proud of you..."

"AUGH!!!!" I screamed, slamming him in his gut, causing him to fly back. Ash attempted to teleport to the Jade Blade, but I caused a ball of Darkness to grab the Master of Smoke! Throwing him to a nearby pillar, I leapt down and raised a powered hand, ready to kill him....

Kill?

Me?

Kill?!?

I shook my head, snapping me out of my daze. I backed away from the battered Master, leaping to the pillar that held the Jade Blade. Ash only watched me as I grabbed the Jade Blade.

"Winner! Loser!" Master Chen yelled, as the other Elemental Masters cheered. He Ninja watched me worriedly as Chen added, "Master of Darkness and Amber moves on!"

I didn't even watch as Ash fell down another one of Master Chen's trapdoors.

I felt worn out....

Gosh, no!

I ran all the way back to my room, as the Ninja followed me.....
