"What's the plan now dad?" Nathan asked his father.

"Patience, my son," his father said.  "We will take care of them, but I have a feeling they're looking for us."

"We can't let them find us."

"Yes we can."

Nathan looked confused.

"Just tell me when the fun can start," Yuying said.

"Oh believe me," Nathan's father said.  "It will start soon."

Monastery: Justin's room

"Justin, you need to rest," Alex said.

"But I'm tired of resting," Justin complained.  "I'm the Master of Lightning not the master of sitting around and doing nothing."

"Justin, listen to Alex," Max said.  "You need your rest.  Give yourself time to heal."

"I need to get moving again."

"I didn't want to have to do this," Alex said.  "ROSIE!!!"

Rosie walked in.  "What's wrong?" Rosie asked.

"We're trying to make Justin stay here to rest more, but he wants to get up and start moving."

"This is not fair Alex," Justin said.  "Calling in my girlfriend!"

"She has a better chance of convincing you than we do."

Rosie walked closer to Justin and started playing with his hair.  "Alex and Max are right," Rosie said.  "You still need to rest.  Moving could make it worse."

"But I'm tired of just staying here," Justin whined.

"How about I stay in here with you for a while?"

"That works!"  Alex, Max, and Rosie laughed.

"Wow," Max said.  "I guess I know who can control Justin."

Justin raised an eyebrow at his best friend.  "You realize that Alex controls you, right?"

"She does not."

"Come on babe," Alex said.  "Let's leave."

"Anything you say."  Justin and Rosie raised their eyebrows at Max.  "This means nothing."  Alex and Max left the room.

"She totally controls him, right?" Rosie asked.

"Yeah," Justin said.  "She totally does."  They both laughed.  "So, what have you been up to while I've been a prisoner in my own room."

"You're not a prisoner."

"That's what it feels like."

Rosie rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.  "My mom has been giving me some extra training in the Samurai X mech."

"Why?"

"Because I feel like I need it.  After the first two battles, I just feel like I could use some extra training.  My mom has been more than willing to help me out."

"I guess I can understand that."

"How have you been doing with everything?"

"I guess I'm ok."  Justin's expression became more serious when he said that.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong."

"Something is wrong.  Please tell me."

"You won't leave me, right?"

That question shocked Rosie.  "No, I wouldn't.  Why are you asking that?"  Rosie became worried.

"It's stupid."

"If it makes you upset, then it's not stupid."

"Nathan knew my biggest fear which I've never told anybody."

"If you don't mind me asking, what is it?"  Justin didn't respond.  Rosie grabbed his hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.  "You can tell me."

Justin took a deep, shaky breath.  "I'm afraid of being alone."

"What?"

"I'm afraid of the people I care about leaving me.  Growing up with Alex and Max, I always knew they liked each other.  I'll admit that there were several times I felt like a third wheel with them.  I don't know why, but I became afraid that when they admitted their feelings for each other, they'd leave me.  I always wanted somebody I cared about like that too because I don't want to be left behind.  When we all get older, I don't want to be the one person who's alone with nobody to love them."

"Justin, you will never be alone.  There will always be people who love you.  Your parents love you.  Your uncle and aunt love you.  Your cousins love you.  Alex and Max love you.  I love you."

Justin looked up at Rosie.  "You do?"

"I do."

"I love you too."

Rosie hugged Justin.  "You never have to feel like you're alone."

Juliet opened the door.  "Rosie, we need you," Juliet said.  Rosie nodded and got up to go with her.

"What's going on?" Justin said as he tried to get up.

"I said I need Rosie.  You're not going anywhere Justin."

"Seriously?!"

"Please stay here Justin," Rosie said.  "For me."  Rosie showed Justin puppy dog eyes.

"Fine!"

Juliet and Rosie left the room.

"What is going on?" Rosie asked.

"We found them," Juliet said.  "You up for it."

"Yeah.  I need a rematch against Yuying."

"That's the spirit!  Everyone is already in their ninja gis.  You need to armor up."

"On it."

"Meet us down in the training yard in 5 minutes."

"Got it."  Rosie went off to get her armor on and get the mech.

Training Yard

5 minutes later

"I'm here!" Rosie said as she came in on her mech.  She hopped off and walked up to the others.  Everyone who lives in the monastery, except Justin and PIXAL, was there.  "Where are they?"

"They're in a wearhouse in Ninjago City," Max said.

"So, let's go!"

"Hang on," Lloyd said.  "We have a faster way for you guys to get there."  The Bounty came up behind Lloyd.  The kids looked at it in awe.

"That's what we thought of it the first time," Kai said when he noticed the kids' reactions.

PIXAL waved at them from inside the Bounty because she was currently driving it.

"We're going to go with you and stay on the Bounty in case things get bad," Lloyd said.

"You guys are going," Jay said.

"What?" Cole said confused.

"Jay and I are going to stay to watch over Justin," Nya said.

"I'm staying too," Britney said.  "I was never part of your team."  She walked up to Lloyd and Max.  "Please stay safe."

"We will mom," Max said as the three hugged.

"Be careful Alex," Jay said.

"I will dad," Alex said.

"Your father is right," Nya said.  "Justin already got hurt.  We don't want you to get injured too."

"I know mom and I will be careful."

"Everyone on the Bounty!" Zane called.  Everyone who was going hopped onto the Bounty and as they took off, they waved goodbye to Jay, Nya, and Britney.  The kids were amazed since it was their first time in the Bounty, but they also had a mission to complete.

Max stood in front of his team.  "Let's take them down!"
