The next day wasn't gonna be better than yesterday afternoon, since Chen woke everyone up at 5a.m. and got them into some kind of an airship. They were here for an hour, flying over the island, with freaking out Neuro and angry Jay. 

"You know what!? I've had enough of your bullshit."-Sky stood up and opened the door to the cocpit, to reveal that no one was piloting this vehicle. There was only a sticky note on the console. It said You have 8 parachutes, good luck there~. Just as Sky read it aloud for everyone to hear, a screen lit up. 

Chen was now speaking to them thru a communicator. "Do they hear me now? Oh, there's a red dot! Okay, so today's fight's gonna be different."-Just as he said these words, the footage on the screen changed, to reveal a black-haired girl running around the jungle with some sort of book. Sky realized. It was Mei. She stole the spellbook!
"Whoever finds her first, wins! Okay, good luck!"-Chen said cheerfully and disappeared from the screen. 

"Everyone grab a parachute!"-Lloyd shouted, panicking. Suddenly the floor opened and everyone got blown from the aircraft. They started falling, everybody desperately trying to grab a parachute. Everybody, except for Sky, who was just free falling and having fun. "Why are you so calm?!!"-Jay shouted to her.
"Eh, Wukong has incoventional ways of teaching kids how to fly! I'm used to this!"-She shouted back.
"Wait, you can fly?!"-Kai chimed in.
"Of course! Let me show you!"-Having said this, Sky immidiately just. Stopped falling. When she dived down, to be on the same level as boys, she explained.-"I just bloodbend myself! Kinda!". 

Now everyone was certain she was a psychopath. When they finally landed, ones more safely than the others, they began searching. And, as the rest was hunting Mei down semi-quietly, Sky had a different tactic. "Mei! Mei you fucker! Where are you?!"- You could guess it wasn't really the best strategy, since the girl got surrounded by Clouse and a few of Chens people pretty quickly. She tried to fight, but they had vengestone on them, so she got captured really easily. Of course not without kicking a few asses. 

She thought she will be the first one to land in Chens cage, and was surprised to see Shade and Paleman already in there. After a few minutes she was starting to get bored. 

"Hey, what does this button do?"-She asked Chen. He pressed it and the door to the vehicle closed. He did it again, opening them. "Ohhh... And what does this do?"-It was going on for quite a few minutes, opening and closing doors, turning the screen on and off, and playing music, before Clouse stepped in with another prisoner, which turned out to be Neuro. When Clouse left, everything fell silent once more. 

"Hey, I know a cool song!"-Sky suddenly said and started singing.-"🎶Around the world around the world around the world🎶"-Looking mockingly at the Master of the Mind. "I know one too! It's called shut up!"-He yelled.
"Oh no! Is someone angwy, cause they cwan't wead my mwind."-She started annoying him. "What, did I hit a nerve?"-It felt good to finally frustrate someone else, without them doing the same and making her blush like stupid. 

Chen was just standing aside, watching all that unfold in front of him, enjoying the show. 

When the sun finally hid behind the horizon, all of the captured elemental masters were shackled and forced to enter the chamber, where Chen was taking everyone's powers. They saw Skylor there, looking away in shame.
"Yeah, look away. But you know, that when he takes our powers, he will do the same to you."-Kai said, accusatory.
"Father always gets what he wants."-She just responded.
"Aha. Tell me one thing. Was it his plan to make me fall for you? Or yours? Because I did!"-The girl was caught off guard.
Suddenly Sky started laughing. "Darling it was nobody's plan. You just fell in love. That happens. And she had nothing to do with it."-She said.
"Can I?"-Sky asked Skylor, a little bit quieter. When the redhead nodded, she added, louder.-
"And she's a lesbian you dumbass!". Kai looked surprised and devastated. 

"Oh, oh, what a beatiful drama!"-Chen yelled suddenly, delighted. No one even realized, when he entered the room. All of the chained Masters were forced to kneel before him. "Soon I'll have more power! It's good to be me!"
"You may have us, but you still don't have the green ninja!"-Jay yelled from the back.
"Eh, doesn't matter. Let's just start."-Chen quickly changed the topic and directed the Staff of Elements to the prisoners.
Sky felt an uneasy, cold pain spreading thru her whole body, like someone was ripping a part of her soul away. A wave of nausea taking over, just to disappear a second later. She felt it in her chest, like when you breath heavily in winter, and your lungs hurt from the cold air filling them.

She fell onto the floor alongside other elemental masters. She could hear Chen's ecstatic giggle. Everyone stood up, and Chen ordered his servants to throw everyone into the factory. "Except for the girl. She's funny."-He added. 

Lloyd and Mei were plotting how to get into the palace. "But now there's too many of them!"-Lloyd tried to stop Mei from jumping thru the window, head-first.
"Eh. Not for me green bean!"
"Are you always like this?"
"Yep!"
"I'm wondering how Sky even put up with you??"
"Oh, it's really easy. She stopped resisting after a while. Okay, maybe she had to bail me out of prison a few times, but..."
"Yeah, she tends to- You were in jail!?!"
"Yeah, but they couldn't keep me in there for long."
"Okay. Now can you stop trying to break in every two seconds?! We have to have a plan! We can't just go there with a shitty make-as-we-go plan!"-As Lloyd said these words, Mei suddenly stopped, her smile fell and she got serious.
"Okay. Let's make a plan."

At the same time, Chen was showing Sky around his gallery. "A scale from the Great devourer, Zane's pink GI..."
"Woow. So that's what happened to it!"-Sky was delighted with every little thing he was showing her.
"And this! An Anacondrai Sword!"-He said, pulling it off the wall and swishing it around.
"Wooooow! It is very sharp, right? What can it cut through?! Maybe this column here!?!"-The girl was so excited about this blade.
"I don't know. Let's check!"-Chen swung it and cut thru the column like it was butter. Sky's eyes sparkled.
"Can it cut thru iron? Or steel! Or vibranium!? High-grade titanium?!!? Maybe a diamond or other crystal!?!"-Unfortunately, before Chen could check, Clouse came up to him, to inform his master, that it was getting dark and the green ninja will come soon.
"Come. You'll be my guest."-Chen told Sky and walked towards the main palace, the girl following his every step. When they finally entered the arena, where the final fight was to take place, Chen ordered Sky to sit on the stands. To assure, she wasn't gonna help the green ninja, he tied one of her wrists to the nearby column. 

15 minutes later, Lloyd arrived. "Hi green bean!"-Sky welcomed him in a dull and bored voice. A few words, yelled at each other later, the fight started. All of sudden, another person walked out onto the arena. 

"Gosh, this Clouse guy was really annoying.". It was Mei. "Oh, hi!"-She smiled at Sky, and joined the battle. Various blows were flying everywhere. Literally, because Chen was playing with gravity. "Oh, and I have this power!"-Saying this, he flung Mei into one of the walls. Sky immidiatelly stood up, forgetting that she's tied down, and yelled, worried. 

"I'm fine! It's okay!"-Mei answered. Finally, Chen beat these two. Mainly because Mei didn't unleash her true power, but it still counts. Both green bean, and green skittle were taken away. Lloyd - to prepare him for the ceremony, and Mei - to be snake food. But just as Chen's people tied her to a column in snake's lair, so she won't run away, and walked out of the room, she quickly freed herself from the chains and walked out.

Lloyd had a worse time. He was chained down in the same room, the rest of the Elemental Masters lost their powers. Chen took his power and turned around, to begin transforming his people into an army of snakes.
"Oh! Now's the ritual?! I love rituals!"-Sky squeaked excitedly and stepped closer to Chen, as Clouse was reciting the spell. Suddenly she kicked his staff out of his hand, grabbed it and shattered the crystal. She falt her powers returning with a warm feeling coursing thru her veins. 

Suddenly Chen started laughing. Everyone fell silent, but he was still laughing like a maniac. When he finally finished, he pulled out another crystal from under his cape and put it on the old one's place in the staff. "Tie her up!"-He ordered, pointing at Sky. At the same time he called his daughter and took her power, and every other one she absorbed.
"You thought you could stop me?"-He mockingly asked Sky, who was now sitting on the floor, all tied up, almost unable to move, as Clouse started reciting the spell again.-"Although it was a pretty pathethic and rather funny attempt." 

Soon, the whole army of freshly turned snakes left the room, and headed for the port, leaving Lloyd and Sky, still tied up. Before the girl could shapeshift and escape, a giant Roto jet broke down a wall, forcing it's way into the room. Just behind it were the Elemental Masters and Mei. When she saw Sky tied up on the floor, she quickly run up to her and freed her.
"Tell me you didn't kill the snake."-Were the first words Sky said.-"I want to keep her as a pet!"
"Wow, and I thought I was the reckless one."-Mei commented.
