《Jade Garmadon: Lloyd Garmadons little brother》Chapter 17 ~A Lead
Advertisement
Shoving a spoon full of chocolate froyo into my mouth, I listened to Kai and Zane talk about the clues.
"Lloyd? Are you listening?" Kai nundged my arm.
"Huh? Oh..y-yeah. Can you just repeat the last thing you said?" I stuck the plastic spoon in my ice cream.
"I said that while Misako looks in the backpack for possibly more clues and I will look at the scarf for maybe DNA clues. While you, Kai, Jay, Cole and Nya search the city for any hints of who Mr. C is." Zane replied. I nodded and ate more froyo.
I threw out the small, empty froyo container into the trash, I noticed two guys near the back looking at me. I looked at them and they turned their backs on me. I shrugged it off and walked back over to the booth Kai and Zane were at. As I walked over, a guy walked in and slammed into me, and walked to the back, keeping his head down, and his face was hidden by his coat. I glarred slightly and sat back down in the booth.
"What was that dudes problem?" Kai muttered.
"I dont know, but he seems kinda...suspicious." I growled under my breath.
"Well lets just ignore it. We have bigger issues to worry about right now." Zane redirected our attention back to thinking of a plan.
When I woke up from my slumber, I noticed I wasnt in my prison room anymore. I was actually locked up in a real jail cell. The floor was freezing cold and I had no blankets. Not even a pillow or a bed.
an evil chuckle came from beyond the cell bars. There was a man standing in the shadows. All I could see was his bright blood colored eyes.

"Who are you?!" I yelled at him and clentched my fists.
He sneered
"...Sensei Wu??"
"NO!! I am not that old timer tea lover beardo!"
"Well sorry but he goes by sensei wu and you did say i should call you sensei."
"Brat! What I mean is that im your teacher! Im going to teach you how to use your powers my way." He grinned, showing his daggered teeth.
"M-Mr. C?!" I yelped
"Thats right. Your first "training" starts tommorrow, brat." He gave a cold, heartless laugh and walked away.
"HEY!! MY BROTHER WILL FIND ME AND SAVE ME!! HE WILL KICK YOUR BUTT!!" I yelled, but Mr. C was already gone. I cant stay here! I have to escape! I turned into my shadow form and tried phasing through the bars.
Dang it! Venge stone bars!!
I jumped around the shadows in the cell, trying to find a way to escape, but no luck. I growled and kicked the bars. I kept kicking and punching, hoping the bars would break, but no luck. When I turned into my human form, my knuckles were bleeding from punching the jail cell bars.
After what I believe was hours of punching and kicking the bars, my hands were more bloody. I finally gave up and collapsed to my hands and knees.
"Someone help me!" I cried out as tears streamed down my face from the pain from my hands.
Lloyds pov:
"Got anything Zane?" I looked over his shoulder as he kept observing the scarf.
"Only Jades DNA so far..." Zane sighed. "Any clues about Mr. C?"
"Not yet. Jay, Cole, Kai, and Nya went back out to question some people." I looked at the purple scarf, and thought of Jade. I pictured him running right into my arms. We would hug and never let go, afraid that if we did let go, we would loose each other again. I sighed and sadly came back to reality from my fantasy.

"Hey Lloyd, how do you think Jade is doing?" Zane questioned me.
"Terrified. Hes only a kid, and Mr C has already got to him." I sighed again. Zane patted my shoulder.
"We will rescue him, Lloyd." He reasured me. I nodded and smiled a bit. My phone went off and I read the message.
"Lloyd, get to the froyo place now! You have to see this!" -Kai
"Hey Zane, Ill be back. Kai needs me down at the froyo place." I shouted as I ran out the door.
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
I ran up to the froyo shop to see the three guys and Nya standing outside.
"Hey guys, whats going on?" I looked at everyone.
"Read the label on this cup." Kai handed me a froyo cup.
'Ryker Carsons Froyo. The power is within the froyo'
"I dont understand...why is this so important." I raised an eyebrow.
"Think about it, dude." Jay furrowed his brows. "His last name is Carson....Mr C....ring a bell?"
My eyes widen, relising that we just might have found our first lead!
*Next day*
Jades pov:
I was startled awake when Mr C. pounded on the bars.
He grinned evilly. I gulped and slowly crawled back.
"Oh please save me soon Lloyd." I thought to myself.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
