So this chapter explains what Lloyd and Garmadon are doing, and the next chapter will explain what the other ninja were doing. This is basically the exact same episode of Into the Breach, except with a little twist at the end. I hope you enjoy.

Lloyd's P.O.V.:

My father had joined us on the bounty. I didn't like this one bit and he was making everyone uncomfortable, but we didn't have much of a choice. I was trying my best to keep an eye on him and making sure he didn't go near Kira.

"Is anyone else freaking out about this?" Jay asked.

"Why freaking out? Our deranged psychotic arch nemesis is now our house guest!" Kai said frustrated.

"I find the term freak out inadequate and imprecise, I prefer to say, I am deeply troubled." Zane frowned.

"Plus we have Kira and Echo on the ship as well. This puts all of us and them in danger too." Seliel said.

"Lloyd are you sure can be trusted?" Nya asked me.

"Of course not." I answered.

"Of course not? That's not what you're supposed to say! You're supposed to say yes!" Jay freaked.

"What choice do we have? If Master Wu and Echo are right, and we're under attack by the Oni, then my father may be our best chance." I explained to my team. "And anyway, he doesn't have his powers back, so how much trouble can he be?"

As we were all talking, my father found the button that turns off the engine and pressed it.

"Did he just turn off the..."

Before we knew it we all falling out the sky. Luckily Zane was able to hit the ignition switch before we hit the cloud. We were all catching our breath.

"That button should be labeled." My father walked away.

"It is labeled! It says "do not push while in motion!"" Nya screamed.

"Perhaps it would wise to accompany your father Lloyd, to avoid anymore mishaps." Zane suggested.

"I can't believe I have to babysit my own father." I said to myself.

I followed him around the bounty and gave him a tour, making sure he stayed out of anymore trouble. When I showed him our cabin, he took interest in the pictures on the wall. He asked about the picture of him and I back when he was human.

"Who is that?" He pointed to it.

"That's you. Don't you remember?" I frowned.

He took a long look at it and then threw it on the floor, cracking the picture frame.

"Hey!" I frowned and picked it up.

"Sentimentality is a weakness." He said walking out of the room. "If you wish to defeat the Oni, you would do well to banish such feelings."

"Fine, I never liked that picture anyway." I frowned.

I started to walk out of the room, but then I looked back. I put the broken picture back on the shelf and took a long look at it. I just needed to accept the fact I may never have my father back to the way he was before.

"Lloyd?" Kira entered the room. "Zane wants everyone on the bridge. Your father says he has a plan to stop the Oni."

"I'll be up in a second." I said.

"Are you alright? I know this must be hard for you, having your father back but not as the man you remember." She said.

"How would anyone know how I feel? I'm the only one in the whole world with this problem."

"I know." She sighed.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you." Lloyd said.

"It's ok, I get it." She nodded. "Just know I'm here for you."

"Thanks." I smiled. "Let's see what he wants."

Jay's P.O.V.:

I was on the deck of the bounty mopping with Kai.

"So did you pop the question yet?" He asked excitedly.

"No! I'm waiting for the right time." I shouted.

"Right time for what?" Cole asked as he and Seliel walked in.

"Jay's gonna ask Nya be his yang." Kai gushed.

"Really? That's great!" Cole smiled. "Why am I always the last one to know these things?"

"Will you keep your voice down please?" I begged.

"He's been planning it for weeks. He told me about when we were in the first realm."

"Weeks?" Seliel smiled.

"You gotta just do it Jay, it's like ripping off an old bandage. The sooner you get it over with the better." Cole said.

We all gave Cole a look.

"Did you just compare Nya to an old bandage?" I asked.

"Nice. Way to go Cole." Kai said sarcastically. "Way to take the romance out of it."

"Ok, you boys are not helping him." Seliel laughed. "Jay, when the time is right, you'll know. Just trust your gut ok?"

"Thanks Seliel." I smiled.

"All hands to the bridge." We heard Zane over the intercom.

Lloyd's P.O.V.:

We all were on the bridge ready to hear my father's plan. He so much as coughed and we all took a fighting stance. He wanted us to go after the realm crystal and destroy it to stop the darkness from spreading. He wanted to go in alone, but I insisted on going with him. I didn't know if I could survive in the cloud or not, but I was about to find out.

They geared me up with a parachute and a video camera and so they could eyes on the ground too. I didn't know what would happen to me, but there was one way to find out.

"Lloyd are you sure about this? We have no idea if you can survive that thing!" Kira frowned.

"I'll be fine, don't worry." I said to my girlfriend.

"That assumption is unfounded." My father said. "You are mostly human. That side of you is weak."

"It's also stubborn. Let's go." I said. "Give him a sword Cole."

"Are you sure about that?" He hesitated.

I nodded. Cole tossed a sword in front of him and then he picked it up and started attacking us with it. We fought back to defend ourselves.

"Guys! No powers! That's what he wants us to do!" I warned.

I heard Kira scream as he tried to attack her. I disobeyed my own orders and used my power to save her, but as a result he got his powers back.

"That's better." He said smiling and he jumped off the bounty.

"He did not just..." Jay asked.

"He just did." Kai finished.

"So much for no powers." Cole griped.

"Are you ok?" I asked Kira.

"I'm fine, but are you sure you want to do this Lloyd?" Kira looked at me.

"No, but I don't really have a choice."

I kissed Kira on the cheek and jumped off the bounty. I had no clue what would happen to me, but here went nothing.

I opened my parachute and went into the cloud. At first I couldn't breath. It was like it was collapsing my lungs from the inside out. Eventually I got used to it and I stood up and caught up with my father.

"I... I'm ok." I smiled.

"That was foolish. You are fortunate to have survived." He snarled.

"Like you care." I said to myself.

We kept walking towards Borg Tower. As I saw all my friends and the people of Ninjago, I couldn't believe and as we approached Borg tower, we ran into some Oni. My father and I tried to fight them off, but I lost my sword and he ended up being saved my father.

"You... you saved my life." I smiled.

"Again, your sentiment clouds your judgment." He pushed me and kept walking. "The realm crystal is all that matters. Two of us stand a better chance than one."

"Fine, I don't care either. We work together until this is done, and then you can go back to your prison cell."

He turned around and gave me a weird smile.

"What?"

"What what?"

"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked.

"Maybe I'm happy."

"That's not a happy smile, that's an evil, "I've got something up my sleeve" smile."

"Fine, how's this?" He smiled at me the same way.

"That's exactly the same."

"No it isn't."

"Yes it is."

"No, it isn't!"

He shouted and charged up his powers. I ducked out of the way, thinking he was aiming at me, but then I saw there was an Oni behind me. I had to catch my breath.

"Shall we continue?"

Once I caught my breath, I followed him into the vault to Borg Tower. Once the realm crystal was in sight, we came face to face with the bringer of doom, the biggest Oni I had ever seen. He had huge horns and a powerful staff.

"What is that?" I asked my father.

"Whatever it is, it's about to face my full wrath!" My father yelled.

He pulled his power swords and tried to fight him off but the Oni ran them into the wall. I tried to use my spinjitsu to take him out, but he hit me and threw me into the wall as well. My side really hurt after that.

"Who... are you...?" I coughed.

"The Bringer of Doom." He answered in an almost indecipherable accent. "Are you the protectors of this realm?"

"Yes, I am." I stood up holding my side.

"And you?" He asked my father.

"Usually no, but today, yes."

He kept wondering why my father hadn't taken the realm yet because he was an Oni and he said that his plan was to destroy the power of creation, so that only destruction would be left. I had enough of their talking and tried my spinjitsu again, but he hit back into the wall.

My father tried his powers but he reversed it back at him, blasting a hole in the vault. I tried my spinjitsu again, but he blasted me through the hole. I found the sword sanctuary and used it to destroy the realm crystal. It stopped the spread, but not the Oni who were already here.

We kept blasting holes in the walls in the vaults until we reached the end, and then we were sitting ducks until we realized they were suddenly afraid of us. I turned around and noticed it was the golden armor forged from the golden weapons of spinjitsu. We took it with us and used it to ward off the Oni.

Pixal's P.O.V.:

Due to the others responding to a distress call we received while Lloyd was on his mission, I agreed to stay behind in my suit so I could pick them up. I was running on reserve fuel because we used the main tank to get extra for the bounty. I knew it would be close, but I had them.

Lloyd called and I locked onto their coordinates. I picked them up and barely crash landed on the bounty with the last bit of fuel I had left. It was a very rough landing and I dropped Lloyd and Garmadon on the way in. They rolled onto the bounty. Garmadon had landed ok, but Lloyd fell unconscious on the ground.

"Lloyd!" Kira shouted and ran to him.

"Pixal!" Zane ran to let me out of my suit. "Are you ok?"

"I am unhurt." I said getting out.

"So am I, no one needs to worry about me." Garmadon grumbled.

"Kira, is Lloyd ok?" Jay asked her.

"He's alright, I think the Oni took a lot out of him." She told everyone while feeling his pulse. "Come on Lloyd, please wake up."

Kira knelt by Lloyd's side and waited for him to wake up. I looked around and noticed the look on everyone's faces. They all seemed upset, especially Nya.

"Wait. Where are Cole and Seliel?" I asked, noticing they weren't around.

They all stared at each other and Nya started crying on Kai's shoulder. I knew there was something wrong.
