At the Monastery, Lloyd and Ryder were in front waiting for everyone fly in on their dragons.

First Nya's dragon came flying in. Lloyd kept looking for Jay, but he didn't see him.

"Hey Lloyd." Nya said walking up to them with both her twins by her side.

"Hey Nya. It's so nice to see you again." Lloyd said.

They gave each other a hug. Ryder started to cling to Lloyd's leg and hide behind him.

"Don't be scared bud." Lloyd said to his son. "This is daddy's good friend Nya."

"You must be Ryder." Said Nya as Ryder started peaking out behind Lloyd's leg. "You're dad has told me a lot about you."

Ryder began moving closer Nya. Her twins also became more friendly.

"Lloyd, Ryder, meet Jax and Lily." Nya said smiling.

"Hi." Lily said.

"Hello." Said Jax.

Ryder didn't say anything, except give off a smile and an awkward wave. Jax and Lily looked at each other and shrugged. Neither of them had much experience around kids their own age.

"Sorry, he's a little shy." Lloyd apologized to Nya.

"Oh that's fine." She said. "They're kids, what are you gonna do, right?"

"Right." Lloyd laughed. "So where is Jay?"

"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I got so wrapped up in things I forgot to call." Nya said. "He's been really sick lately, so he insisted that I bring the kids by myself."

"Oh that's too bad. I hope he gets better soon."

"Me too." She said with a sigh.

Just then, Skylor and Kai's dragons were seen flying up to the Monastery. Blake was on Kai's dragon and Amber was on Skylor's. They landed their dragons and helped their kids off. Then Kai spotted Nya and ran up to her.

"SIS!" He shouted excitedly.

Kai gave his sister a big hug.

"Hey bro." Nya said.

Skylor, Blake and Amber walked over to them.

"Hi Skylor, Nice to see you again." Nya said.

"Nice to see you guys again too." Skylor said.

"Yeah it's been a really long time." Lloyd said.

"Yeah." Nya said.

"Kids, this is your auntie Nya and your cousins Jax and Lily." Kai said pushing Amber and Blake towards her.

"I remember Daddy." Amber said.

Amber was there when Jax and Lily were born. Her parents had lived with Jay and Nya the first week of the twins' birth so they could teach them how to take care of them. They told them that they could do it themselves but Kai insisted on it. And once they figured out they were going to have twins, they took their offer. About a year later, Blake was born.

"You've grown up so much." Said Nya to Amber.

"Yep." She said. "I'm even starting to get powers auntie Nya."

"Really?" Nya said.

"Yep. I'm gonna be just like Mommy." She said eagerly.

"That's great Amber." Nya smiled. "Hi there Blake. How are you doing buddy?"

"Hello!" He shouted.

"Well aren't you just a little ball of energy?" Nya said laughing at how excited he was.

"Wait. Where is Jay?" Asked Kai.

"Jay was sick, but he didn't want me to miss out on meeting you all." Nya said sadly.

"Well tell him I said get well soon." Kai said.

"I will, thanks." Nya said.

"Ryder, you wanna say hi to everyone?" Lloyd asked his son still clinging onto his leg.

Ryder peaked out from behind Lloyd's leg.

"So this is Ryder?" Kai said as Ryder ducked back behind his dad.

"It's ok bud. Don't be scared." Lloyd said.

Blake walked up to Ryder and approached him holding out his stuffed dragon.

"You like dragons?" He asked.

Ryder nodded his head and peaked out from behind his father.

"Wanna play?" Blake asked.

Ryder looked at his father as if he was asking for permission. Lloyd smiled and nodded his head and the boys started running around the front yard. Soon Jax and Lily joined in their little game and they were running all over the front yard taking turns playing with Blake's stuffed dragon. Amber however stayed with her parents.

"Wow, I've never seen Ryder have so much fun." Lloyd said.

Soon Zane's dragon started to show up and Pixal's Samurai X suit right next to him.

"Hey that looks like Zane and Pixal." Nya said excitedly.

"Who's that on Zane's dragon?" Kai said.

"Well when I talked to Pixal the other day, they said they were bringing a plus one." Lloyd told them.

"Plus one? What does that mean?" Nya said.

"I have no idea, but I think we're about to find out." Lloyd said as Zane's dragon approached.

Zane landed his dragon and helped Alex off. Then Pixal landed and got out of her suit. They said their hellos and shared a round of hugs with everyone.

"Who is this?" Lloyd said looking at Alex.

"This is our son, Alex." Zane answered.

Everyone stood there shocked and confused on how that was possible.

"We just finished building him." Pixal said. "He's been a wonderful addition to our family."

"I'm Alex." He said. "It is nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." Lloyd smiled.

"Weren't Cole and his daughter coming too?" Zane asked.

"They must be running a little late." Lloyd assured him.

Then they see Cole's dragon flying in the distance and Allison riding on it with him.

"Speak of the devils." Kai said as Cole and Allison arrived.

"Hey guys." Cole said walking up to them. "Sorry we're late."

"That's alright, the kids were just getting to know each other." Lloyd said.

"Perfect." Cole told him. "This is my daughter Allison."

"Nice to meet you all." Allison said.

"How old are you?" Amber asked Allison.

"I'm five, almost six." She answered.

"That's Cool." Amber said. "I'm six."

"Wow." Allison said.

Allison and Amber hit it off right away. They walked to another part of the front yard and continued talking.

Alex went to play with the dragon that Blake and the others were playing with. The other kids didn't care that Alex was a Nindroid, and Alex didn't care the other kids were human. They just wanted to play together.

"Hey where is Jay?" Cole asked.

"He's sick unfortunately." Nya said. "He insisted I bring the kids here myself. I know he really wanted to be here."

"Poor Jay, I hope he feels better." Cole said.

"Yeah me too. I don't like the idea of him being home all alone when he's not feeling well, I think I better call him real quick." Nya said. "Kai, will keep an eye on Jax and Lily for a sec?"

"Of course sis." Kai said. "Tell Jay I said hi."

"Will do. Thanks." Nya said as she gave him a hug.

She stepped to the side and pulled out her phone.

Jay's P.O.V.:

I set alone on the couch, afraid to fall asleep. I had no idea what my nightmares were trying to tell me, but if he somehow escaped the from the teapot, Nadakhan was going to make a move. I was alone and wasn't feeling well at all, making it the perfect time for the evil djinn to strike if he was going to. Meaning that if I could make it until Nya and the kids got back, then that would prove it was all in my head.

I knew it was just a toy, but Mr. Cuddlywump was my only sense of security I had at the moment. I felt a little childish about it, but I was really glad Jax let me borrow him for the day.

Nya said that my fever went down a bit this morning, but now I felt even worse. My head was pounding, it felt like my whole body was on fire and I could barely say a word without coughing.

All I could do was hope Nya and the kids were having fun with everyone. The truth is, I wanted her to stay but I knew how much she was looking forward to seeing everyone. If I had made her miss that, I would've never forgave myself.

Just then I got a phone call. It was Nya, probably calling to check on me. I answered right away.

"Hey honey. Having fun?" I managed to say without coughing surprisingly.

"Yeah, just calling to check in on ya." My wife's voice came through the phone. "How are you feeling?"

"Better." I tried to lie so she wouldn't worry.

Although it was no use, she somehow ALWAYS knew when I was lying, even if it was over the phone. Plus I had another bad coughing fit, which definitely wasn't helping.

"Are you sure?" She asked me.

"Yes I'm f-fine. Achoo!" I sneezed.

"Do you need me to come home?"

"No no, I'll be fine." I said wiping my nose. "Can you put Cole on please?"

"Oh sure." She said. "One second."

"Ok."

The phone was silent for about thirty seconds, and then I heard a familiar voice come through the phone.

"Hey buddy." Cole said.

"Hey Cole. I'm so sorry I couldn't be there myself." I apologized. "I really wanted to see all of you."

Then I coughed again, and Cole heard me.

"That's ok." He said. "Nya told us you were sick. Just get some rest ok?"

"I want to, but I can't." I told him. "I'm afraid to sleep."

I told Cole this because I knew that if I asked him not to tell Nya, he wouldn't tell her. He was my best friend.

"Why? What's wrong?" Cole asked me.

"I keep having this same nightmare and every time it feels more and more real." I said trying not to be too specific. "You can't tell Nya and the twins though. I don't want them to worry."

"This sounds serious. Are you sure?" He asked.

"Please don't say anything. I just need someone to talk to right now. O-okay?" Then I sneezed again. "Achoo!"

"Bless you." He said.

"Thanks." I told him.

"Jay, you sound terrible. How long have you been sick?"

"Almost a week." I answered. "That's what I'm worried about."

"It's ok. Nothing's going to happen ok?"

"I wish that were true. I can't help but get this feeling that he's coming and that he's going to take everything I love."

I facepalmed and immediately wished I hadn't said that. Cole and the others didn't remember our encounter with Nadakhan, so I had no idea what Cole was going to say.

"What are you talking about?" Cole asked me.

I could tell that he was worried. I had to come up with an excuse, and fast.

"Uhh... I think this fever is making me lose my mind a little."

I immediately wished I hadn't said that either. I definitely just made things worse.

"Jay you shouldn't be alone right now." He said, now whispering into the phone. That meant that Nya must've been nearby.

"No no, I'm alright now. I'm fe-feeling better." I felt a sneeze coming. "Achoo!"

"Are you absolutely sure you're going to be alright?" He said. "I could make up an excuse and leave Allison here with everyone for a bit to come check on you?"

"No no, please don't do that. I'd hate to get you sick and then Allison would probably catch it too." I said, even though I was pretty sure I was out of the contagious stage.

"Well that is a good point. Sorry buddy."

"That's ok. I'm a grown up. I can handle a few nightmares." I said clinching Mr. Cuddlywump, and I wasn't afraid to admit that.

"If your sure. But if you need help all you have to do is call."

"I know. Thanks buddy." I said.

"Anytime." He said. "See you later."

"See ya." I said.

Cole's P.O.V.:

I hung up the phone. I was really worried about Jay. What could be make him so scared that he was afraid to tell Nya? His wife of all people. Something wasn't right he usually doesn't get like that unless he was really worried.

"Everything ok Cole?" I heard Nya say behind me.

I turned around and gave Nya her phone back. I was about to say that everything was fine, but the worried look on my face said it all. She knew something was wrong.

"You're worried about Jay too, aren't you?" She said.

I nodded. I didn't want her to worry, but Jay's life could've been at stake. He sounded genuinely upset. I wasn't completely sure, but I thought that Yang may have had something to do with it. And if that was the case, my best friend was in trouble. Plus if he was as sick as he sounded on the phone, he wouldn't be able to hold out for very long on his own.

"Ok that's it." I said. "He told me not to tell you because he didn't want you to worry, but he said something about nightmares. It might be Yang."

"No." She said as I saw the color drain from her face. "I know what he's talking about, it's not Yang."

"Then who?"

"Nada-" She held her breath. "Never mind, you wouldn't believe me."

'Wouldn't believe what?' I thought to myself.

"I knew this was a bad idea." She said. "I should be at home with Jay."

"Nya it's ok." I tried to assure her. "I'm sure Jay can take care of himself until you get back."

"You don't know what he's capable of." She said. "I know Jay can hold his own in a fight but against him he won't stand a chance."

"Him who?" I asked.

She was about to answer my question when Kai walked back over to both of us.

"Cole, Nya, Lloyd says he wants to start the meeting now." Kai said. He looked at Nya and saw how upset she was. "Sis you ok?"

"I don't know Kai, I should be home with Jay." She said.

Kai gave her a hug and tried to calm her down.

"Sis it's ok. Jay's gonna be fine." Kai reassured her.

"I hope you're right." She said. "Come on Cole, let's go see what Lloyd wants."

"Ok." I said.

We all dropped the kids off in the playroom with Misako and went to the monastery's dining room where Lloyd was waiting for us.

Nya's P.O.V:

"Thank you all for meeting me here." Lloyd said to all of us.

"It is no problem Lloyd." Zane said. "But what was so important you needed all of us?"

"I'm sorry to call you all here on such short notice but I wanted to let you know that I've been picking up threats around Ninjago." Lloyd told us.

"What kind of threats?" I asked trying not to sound like I was worried.

"I don't know." He said. "So far it's just been a bunch of sightings and false alarms, but so many at one time can't be a coincidence."

"Sightings?" Cole said. "What kind of sightings?"

"That's the weird part." Lloyd said. "According to multiple reports, some familiar villains have shown their faces around Ninjago."

'Familiar villains?' I thought. 'Could Nadakhan be behind this?'

"The Overlord, Chen, Yang, Marro, and the one who is the most confusing... my father." Lloyd continued. "So far they haven't been attacking anyone or stealing anything, but it's just weird that they would all be back at once. Especially considering..."

I started to tune out Lloyd so I could do the math in my head: Villains we defeated in the past resurfacing in Ninjago all at once? Impossible! It couldn't be them. I remembered that Nadakhan could shape shift, so it's possible that he was running around pretending to be them. I wasn't sure why, but I couldn't just come out and tell everyone about Nadakhan, none of them would believe me.

My brother must've noticed me lost in thought because he tapped me on the shoulder.

"Sis? You ok?" Kai said.

"Oh yeah. I was just thinking." I replied. "Hey Lloyd, have these villains been seen together at the same place or time?"

"No. It's really weird." Lloyd said.

I had my answer. Nadakhan was back, but I had to be smart about this.

"Why does that matter?" Skylor asked me.

"I was just thinking maybe it's not all these villains, but just one." I said trying not to get to specific. "A shape shifter."

"You mean like an Oni?" Cole said. "I thought we dealt with those guys years ago."

"We did." Zane assured. "There are no full blooded Oni left in Ninjago."

"Then is this a new threat?" Pixal asked.

"Whatever it is, we need to do something about it." Lloyd said.

"Look I wanna get back to kicking some butts as much as you do, but we have families to think about now." Said Cole.

"I agree." Skylor said. "We have a three year old to take care of, and Amber's starting to get my powers. This really isn't the best time to get back in action right now."

"Skylor's right." My brother agreed.

"Plus Allison is starting to get my powers too, and Seliel is still in Nom with her dad." Cole said. "I'm sorry Lloyd, but I need to be there for my kid."

"You think I don't?" Lloyd said sounding upset. "I have a son you know? It's not my fault I got left to take care of him all by myself!"

Lloyd buried his head in his hands and I could see a tear roll down his face. I looked at the date and I realized that it was 3 years ago today that Kira went missing. That's why he was so upset.

"Lloyd?" I put a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok. You'll find her."

"How?" He replied "I can't go looking for her now, I need to be here for my son. Plus it's been three years now since Kira went missing. I don't even know if she's..."

"Don't say it." I interrupted. "Kira was my best friend. I miss her too, we all do. But we have to stay strong. Ninja never quit remember?"

"Fine." Lloyd took a deep breath. "I'm sorry everyone."

"It's ok buddy." Kai said to Lloyd. "We get it."

"Let's just stay focused." Lloyd said. "I'm saying the threat might be after our kids. I just wanna protect them, that's all."

The others continued talking but all I could think about was Jay. Cole was right before, he wouldn't be able to defend himself if he was sick. And he was alone, so if Nadakhan was going to make a move he was going to do it now.

I realized that and I suddenly jumped up from my chair.

"I need to call Jay." I said and I walked out of the room.

Cole followed me into hallway.

"Nya what's wrong?" He asked me.

I ignored him and took out my phone right away. I called Jay and he didn't pick up. I was instantly worried and turned back to Cole.

"Cole, there's not enough time to explain, but I think Jay's in trouble." I told him.

"Well then I'll go with you." He said to my surprise. "If he's in trouble then we need to go."

"Ok but what about the twins and Allison?"

Just then my brother walked into the room, and I had my answer.

"Sis, is everything ok?" He asked.

"Kai I need you to do me a favor. Can you take my kids for a bit? I have to get something for Jay."

"Sure, I'd love to spend some time with my niece and nephew." Kai replied.

"I'm keeping Nya company, so can you please watch Allison too?" Cole asked.

"Fine, but I charge by the hour." Kai joked.

"He's joking." I told Cole. "Thanks bro."

He gave me a hug and Cole and I headed back to our house on our dragons. I didn't like the fact of leaving my kids behind, but I knew that they would be safe with Kai and Skylor.
