Geoff immediately blocked one members' weapon as Chamille takes off. "Let's go!" Lloyd yelled as they immediately moved away from their assigned spots, and getting out their weapons.

"Ninjago!" The Ninja yelled as they came to fight a member each, Zhong runs after Chamille as she moved down the road.

--------

In a van nearby, a member was at the wheel with Cole and Seliel at the back, unconscious, and gags on their mouths. "Andy, she's running." Zhong said through a nearby radio. "Block her path!" Andy starts the van and drives forward.

--------

Outside, the van stops in front of her, causing her to stop, and turn to see Zhong coming up to her. "You will be coming with us."

"Oh no, I won't." Chamille said, in her normal voice, surprising Zhong before she soon turned back to her normal form.

"The Master of Form! We've been tricked!"

"Just like you did us." She soon went to kick Zhong, but he moves aside and tries to strike her with his pickaxe, but she grabs hold of it, and kicks him back.

Fino deflects an arrow fired by Zane as he backed away. "Nobody can discontinue an old Nindroid." She said.

"Let me show you what a new model does." Zane replied before charging and tried to strike her with his bow, but she moves aside, and tries to strike, but Zane soon uses Spinjitzu, knocking her back.

Kai blocks Small-Bangs' rifle with his swords before turning to the side and kicks her down. "Don't think this old lady midget is down, sonny Jim." She said, pulling out her pistols, and fired at Kai, who quickly conjured a shield of fire to stop the bullets.

--------

In the van, Cole wakes up when he heard the gunshots and starts kicking at the side, leaving dents on it. "Hey!" He yelled, though was muffled due to the gag before Seliel also woke up, and started kicking at the side.

"We're in here!" She yelled, her voice also muffled.

"Help!"

"Someone!"

--------

Outside, Jay swings his nunchucks at two members, who back away before he held his hand out, firing a bolt of Lightning at them, rendering them unconscious. "Shocked by surprise?" He asked before chuckling.

Lloyd backed away from some members while blocking their weapons before Geoff comes between them, and kicked them, knocking them back. "Time for a bit of Spinjitzu." He said as Lloyd nodded.

"Ninjago!" They both said, doing Spinjitzu, and knocks them all down. Faith backed away as a member charged at her, but she grabs hold of him, raises him high, and throws him at three others, knocking them all down.

--------

By the van, Chamille knocks Zhong down before grabbing hold of Andy as he came out and jumps into an alleyway with him while Zhong got up and ran to the other Ninja.

--------

In the van, Cole and Seliel kept on kicking at the side, but the kicking couldn't be heard.

--------

Outside, Blake swung his kamas at Sharpocroc, who backs away before moving to strike him with her swords, but Blake blocks it, and does Spinjitzu, knocking her down. Grunin backed away while firing his gun at Gewuji, who holds her hand out, holding a conjured glass shield. "Don't think that cheap thing can protect you for long, you pathetic little bitch!" He yelled, briefly flicking his tongue out to the side during his anger, thrice.

The gun slide soon went back before he looked at it, flicking his tongue in anger again. "Where is he?" Gewuji asked before she strikes him, knocking him down, and kicked the gun aside. "Where is Cole?"

Nya and Maggie have their backs to each other as they each block a member before moving to their side to hit each other's opponent and do Spinjitzu together, knocking both their opponents down. Faith grabs hold of another member before moving close to another member and kicked him while still holding the member before she pushes him down. Lloyd looks to see Zhong coming at him as he raised his pickaxes before blocking them and somersaults over him, and fires a ball of Energy at him, but Zhong uses his pickaxes to block it. "They're made of Vengestone, Greenie." He said before soon raising them again to strike, but Lloyd immediately blocked it, and clashed with Zhong before he notices the dagger in his open vest pocket. "So, you have the dagger."

"And you'll never get it." Lloyd said. "Where are Cole and Seliel?"

"Oh, they're around." He sarcastically spoke. He soon forced Lloyd back and threw his right pickaxe up in the air, distracting Lloyd as Zhong soon struck him with his other pickaxe, knocking him on his side, and grabs the pickaxe as it fell.

"Where?!" Lloyd quickly got up, but Zhong quickly moved aside, grabbed hold of the dagger, and spun before kicking him in the back, knocking Lloyd down, before turning to the others.

"Cover your mouths!" Zhong immediately threw a smoke grenade out at the middle of the street, close to the other Ninja and Faith before it explodes, emitting smoke. As Faith and the Ninja were distracted, Grunin, Small-Bangs, Fino, Sharpocroc and the clan members head for the truck as Andy also ran up to them. "Mission accomplished, get the van and let's go." They get into the truck, and take off as a couple of members went to the van and drove off, after the truck.

The smoke soon faded away and the Ninja get up, lowering their bandanas, in disappointment. "Did they get the dagger?" Faith asked Lloyd as she came up to them.

"Yeah." He replied before turning to the alleyway. "Chamille?" They all look at the alleyway. "Chamille?" They head over to the alleyway, only to discover Andy, tied up and gagged. "Chamille's gone with them." They immediately look to see the van and truck take off, leaving the city.

--------

Several minutes later, in the police station, the Ninja, P.I.X.A.L., Faith, Callen and the officers were at Mantis' desk while he was out. "Chamille went in looking like Andrew Stone, eh?" Cornelius asked. "Guess the plan worked."

"Plan?" They all asked.

"I came up with it, because I really care for my sister." Callen replied. "So, I'm sure she'll get them out."

"All we have to do is find the staff before they do." Kai said.

"Well, there's bad news." Mantis replied, coming up to them, with a book. "Got this from the Domu Library."

He places it down on the desk, but it shakes the computer mouse too, turning the computer on, showing Gewuji, naked and arms folded around her shoulders to cover her breasts. "Hello, Mantis." She said as Geoff looked at it. "You're quite good at--" Mantis immediately turned it off.

"You still had that?" Geoff asked, annoyed at his sister's old prank being on the computer.

"Liked it." Mantis replied before noticing the others staring at him, in confusion. "Anyway." He opens the book showing the Staff of Vivifica. "'The Staff of Vivifica was created alongside the Golden Weapons with two others, intended for Yether, the First Emperor of Ninjago. When Yether passed on, the First Spinjitzu Master hid the Medallion of Oculus and the Dagger of Aurumetacri in random spots of Ninjago, but for some reason, the staff disappeared, not even in his tomb at the top of Pax Mountain.'"

"So that's where they'll go." Gewuji said. "They think the staff is on that mountain."

"Then that's where we'll go too." Lloyd replied.

Gewuji looks at the staff and thinks of Cole and Seliel. "Hang on, guys."

--------

In the truck on the highway in the Badlands, Fino was driving as Grunin got out a radio. "We couldn't get the bearer!" He said.

Small-Bangs soon held up the dagger. "But we got the dagger." She said. "We can get the bearer another day."

"Good." Chongbai replied through the radio. "Now we have a small arrangement to do. Grab some parkas, and meet us at Pax Mountain."

"Yes, Master." Grunin said before looking ahead. Unaware to them all, Chamille, disguised as Andy, smiled as her plan was still working.

"Pax Mountain, eh?" She asked herself in Andy's voice.

--------

At the monastery, the Ninja, back in their athletic clothing, immediately grabbed some warm clothing to put on. Despite being the second highest mountain, Pax Mountain was the most coldest in Ninjago, unlike the Wailing Alps. "Think we should take one for Cole too?" Jay asked as he was zipping up his jacket.

"We have to." Kai replied, putting on some wellies of his respective colour. "Pax Mountain is -10 degrees."

"Then Cole and Seliel will have 5-10 minutes before they freeze, unless they're keeping them warm at a moderate temperature." Dragon said as he and Faith came up to them. "And once you have them, you must try to stop Chongbai from bringing Master Yether back."

"Master, how well do you know Yether?" Lloyd asked as he was putting on some gloves.

"Just that he's my godfather. Not much of his past that my father told me. Only your father had an interest in his past."

"Then I'll speak with him about him once this is over."

Blake soon came in, already wearing his warm gear. "Okay, the D.B. Express is set up, the mechs are inside it, and the Guider is back from the shop." He said.

"Good." Geoff replied.

"I still don't understand why we can't use the Destiny's Bounty to get to the top of Pax Mountain with ease." Jay said.

"It's still getting fixed." Nya replied. "That way I don't make the same mistake again."

"Nya, that was an accident." Gewuji said.

"I know, but still..."

"Anyway, back to our original conversation." Geoff said. "I suggest once we arrive, we swap to the mechs since the Pax Mountain will be hard to traverse in the vehicles."

"Excellent." Lloyd said. "You know, Geoff, you--"

"I'm not interested, yet. Until I'm an old man."

"So, we'll be going to Ninjago's most freezing, second highest mountain, rescuing Cole and a girl we hardly know, with a chance we might not make it in time?" Nya asked. "I really should chill out."

Jay chuckled. "Need to work on your version of situation quips." He replied to his wife.

"Come on, there's no time to waste." Lloyd said as they soon took off.

"So, who's looking after Callen?" Gewuji asked.

"They got a safehouse set up for her and Wilhelm is on the first watch." Geoff replied.

"Good."

"P.I.X.A.L. will be helping us traverse Pax Mountain, and find any potential threats." Zane, in his Titanium form said to Lloyd as they prepare to walk out the door.

"Oh, and we'll need take these as well." Blake said, holding out ski goggles and start spreading them out.

"Goggles?" Jay asked. "We're not going swimming up Pax Mountain, are we?"

"No, the goggles will protect our eyes from getting frozen. And they're our two-way link communication to P.I.X.A.L. and Master Wu, so don't lose them."

--------

At Pax Mountain, the Yether Age clan move along the path in a convoy as a big snowplow was in front, brushing the snow away from their path. In the van, Cole and Seliel had their arms crossed together, out of coldness. Seliel soon sighed, moved closer to Cole, and had him put an arm around her. "Um, what are you doing?" He asked.

"It is said to help with the body heat and keep us warm." She replied.

"Okay." Seliel suddenly moved closer, and placed an ear by his chest, causing him to blush.

"Wow, your heart is beating like a clock."

"I know." Cole looked to see Chamille, still disguised as Andy driving. He and Sharpocroc, who is sitting in the passenger seat, were wearing parkas and goggles. "Hey, why don't we get one?"

"Sorry, not enough." Sharpocroc sarcastically said. "Now you lovebirds stay warm, Master Chongbai has plans for you two." Cole and Seliel soon look at each other.
