Sons of Garmadon: Chapter 4 - Dead Man's Squall

Previously on Ninjago:

Zane manages to infiltrate the S.O.G's hideout, but finds out the Big Man was one of the generals named Kilo.

Meanwhile, Cole finds a baby in the holding cells, who might be the key to the third mask.

Zane races the S.O.G. in a motorcycle race, but someone called Ultra Viloet and told him about Zane's real identity. Zane and the generals make it as far as the canyons, where he makes a startling discovery.


Zane was now back into his Nindroid form and in his Ninja uniform. Mr. E stood across from him. They glare at each other menacingly.

"Are you the Quiet One?" Zane asks Mr. E, who doesn't respond.

Mr. E turns his head. A robotic noise sounds from his neck before he straightens his head.

"Are you the Quiet One?!"

Mr. E runs towards Zane. Zane gets out an arrow from his quiver and his bow unfolds. He aims the arrow at the general, and releases it. However, Mr. E knocks the arrows out of his way like they were nothing to him as he continues to run towards Zane.

He hits Zane square in the chest, causing the Nindroid to fall on his back. Mr. E picks Zane up at his ankles and spins him around until he let go.

Zane's body tumbles and flips on the sandy ground. When he flips again and stops near the edge, his hand lets go of his bow. His bow falls down below and makes a faint clattering noise. He props himself up by his elbow and glares at Mr. E.

"Who are you?"

Robotic noises sound from Mr. E's arms. He cracks his knuckles as he slowly walks towards Zane.

Zane gets into his fighting stance.

Mr. E lunges at Zane, and the two Nindroids traded blows with one another. Mr. E was getting the upper hand quickly, landing the majority of his blows onto Zane's upper body.

Zane shook his head as Mr. E sent him skidding a few feet back. He steadies his ground.

The two Nindroids continued fighting one another. Mr. E was still gaining the upper hand, and Zane wasn't faring against him very well.

Mr. E sent Zane tumbling across the sandy floor. Zane sat up and looke at his panel. It sent sparks from underneathe, and it was opening up slightly. Zane closed it shut with his hand.

He shakily gets up and readies his ice. He yells angrily.

"Who. Is. In. Charge?!" With each yell of his words, he punches Mr. E with his ice, fully covering the Nindroid general in ice.

With one final kick, he sends Mr. E. a dozen feet away from him. He looks at Mr. E. carefully.

The ice started to break.

Zane grunts.

Mr. E. breaks free of his ice prison.

"WHO?!

Mr. E lunges at Zane and sends his blows onto Zane's body, up until sparks flew from Zane's right arm.

He walks up toward the Ice Ninja. Zane breathes shakily. "You don't...have to do this." He says, pleads, as his bright blue eyes flickered on and off.

With one final kick, Mr. E kicks Zane, sending him off the edge of the cliff and letting him fall. Zane's body meets the uneven edges of larges rocks just below. Every time Zane's body hit something, Zane cried out in pain.

It wasn't long before Zane finally tumbled to a stop on the ground. His nice white gi was all dirtied up, and one side of his face exposed his wires. The panel on the right side of his boy was dented and bent open, along with scratches all over his body. Some were deep enough to expose more wires.

Zane, however, looked weak and tired, and was on the verge of blacking out from all the damage to his body.

Mr. E jumps and lands on the ground with expertise. He slowly walks up to Zane. The general knew there was no fight left in the Ice Ninja. He didn't weaken him enough to die, but enough for him to do one last thing.

Zane hears Mr. E's footsteps coming towards him. He lifts up his head slowly. With one, weak, raspy voice, he whispers "...Who...?" before giving out and shutting down completely. The light from Zane's eyes slowly faded out.

Once Mr. E was sure Zane was fully out, he kneels down, and clicks open Zane's panel. He puts something inside, and closes it with another click.

He stands up. He glances at Zane again, before turning on his comn to the S.O.G. He says a bunch of garbled gibberish to them, and turns off his comn. He turns around, not sparing Zane another glance. He walks away from the fallen Nindroid, and heads towards his bike.

By the time he was gone, Zane's right eye flashes on and emits a quiet beeping sound.


In the cover of darkness, the Bounty flew over the desert with a bright skylight.

Earlier, Cole had managed to escape the hideout during the motorcycle race and was able to get far away enough for the Bounty to get his signal and retrieve him and a new passenger.

A baby.

Which the team and Harumi fawned over immediately.

So while Katarina and Harumi stayed inside the Bounty and focused on keeping the baby asleep - and maybe talk to each other for a good long while and catch up - The rest of the team focused themselves on finding Zane.

Zane's last known location was the desert, but Pixal wasn't able to pinpoint his exact location. The team resorted to just carefully and slowly flying over the desert until they found them.

It took several hours until they found Zane.

Lloyd, Nya, Cole and Jay land on the sandy, dirt ground and run over to their friend. The light shone on his broken mechanical body.

They knelt down and looked him over. They gasped at his current state.

Lloyd put his hands on Zane's body carefuly, and shook him. "Zane! Zane, can you hear me?"

"What did they do to him?" Nya says, her voice full of concern and shock.

"Say something, Zane. Can you hear us? Zane?!" Jay put a hand on Zane and shook him as well.

Lloyd looked up at the Bounty. Pixal, lower the gurney. Zane's in bad shape."

Pixal had the Bounty lower the gurney as instructed. Jay and Cole unhook it and grab both ends, hurriedly carrying it over to Zane. "Hang on, buddy. Hang on."

Jay and Cole set the gurnery down. Carefully but firmly, Nya and Lloyd lifted up Zane's body and set him down on the gurney.

Jay, Cole and Nya carry the gurney over and hook it back up. Making sure it was fully secured, Nya says "Okay. Winch him up, Pix."

The gurney gets lifted back up, and the four Ninja get back up on the Bounty.

Once Zane was back on the Bounty and taken to the medical bay, Lloyd and Nya informed Katarina and Harmui about Zane's current state.

An hour later, after Pixal was finished assessing the damage, the Ninja and Harumi gathered in the medical bay, worried and concern looks written all over their faces.

Lloyd sighs and looks at Zane's monitor. "How bad is it?"

"He has extensive damage to all systems. His neural net and cognitive cores suffered severe failures." Pixal explains.

"Can you save him?" Nya asks her.

"I've diverted power to critical life functions, but Zane will have to do most of the work. He must reconfigure his system and reboot himself."

Katarina growled. "Those son of a bitches are going to pay for what they did to Zane." She takes a moment to breathe and pats Zane's leg gently. "I'm grateful they didn't do anything worse to him."

"Isn't there anything we can do?" Harumi says.

"We have to keep moving or the Sons of Garmadon will find us. They'll do anything to get their hands on the child." Lloyd points out.

"I just don't get how a baby can be a key." Kai says, confusion written all over his face. Katarina nods in agreement.

Cole shrugs. "I don't either, but that's what they said. They called him the key to the third mask."

Lloyd hums thoughtfully. "If Cole's right, we need to disappear. Get as far away from Ninjago as we can."

Jay inhales, and crosses his arms. His eyebrows furrowed in disagreement. "Hmm. Doesn't seem right. Abandoning Ninjago City."

"We're not abandoning." Lloyd says quickly. "There are others who will protect her."

"Like who?" Katarina asks, putting a hand on her hip.

"There's always Samurai X." Nya answers. "Whoever that is."

"Whoever it is, they're going to have to cover for us until we get a handle on things. Pixal, set a new course." Lloyd put a hand on Zane's leg, worry and concern all over his face for his friend. "Anywhere but here."


The baby Cole had brought on board had been crying loudly for a good fifteen minutes. Cole, Lloyd, Jay and Kai were in their sleeping quarters. In the center of the quarters was a makeshift baby bed.

Lloyd held the crying baby in his arms. He looked panicked, he was so unsure of what to do to make the baby stop crying.

"Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk." He hands the baby over to Cole.

"I tried. He doesn't like milk." Cole replies. He hands the baby over to Kai.

"What else do babies drink?" Jay says.

"Don't ask me. Ask him." Kai answers with a sarcastic tone. He hands the baby over to Jay.

"He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet." Cole shouts at Kai.

"Oh! Maybe he needs a diaper change." Jay guesses. He hands the baby back to Cole.

Lloyd ran a hand through his hair, his panic growing. "Oh my gosh. Do we even have diapers?" Cole exclaims. He sets the baby down.

"Why would we have diapers? We're ninja!" Lloyd shouts.

"Ooh! Maybe we can use one of our hoods instead." Jay suggests.

"Not my hood." Kai shakes his head.

"We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood."

Suddenly the crying stop. The Ninja turn around to see Harumi carrying the baby in her arms, softly singing a song from her youth when she was growing up with the Emperor and Empress.

"The spider's in the house. Sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse. Sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth."

The baby yawns sleepily, and slowly closes his eyes. Harumi smiles to herself and sets the baby back down in its crib.

"Wow. You're really good at that." Cole comments proudly.

She blushes at the compliment and smiles. "Nah. He's just tired. Too much excitement. He'll go to sleep now."

Lloyd smiles as a tinge of blush come over his cheeks. He follows Harumi outside. It was daytime by the time they walk out on deck.

They both lean over the railing. "My father told me they call this the Dead Man's Squall."

Harumi turns her attention to Lloyd. "Do you remember much about your father before he left you as a child? When he was...bad?"

Lloyd shakes his head. "No, not really. I was too young. What about your parents?"

She sighs. She looks up at the sky above. "Sometimes in my dreams, they're right next to me. It's like they're still here, but then I...I wake up." She finishes sadly, her eyes getting all teary.

He knew that feeling well. After the Cursed Realm's defeat, the cursed spirits went down with it, along with Garmadon's. Some nights, he would dream about the good times he had with his father and would wake up all sad and disappointed, sometimes to the point were he would quietly cry to himself. The Ninja comforted him on those nights when it got too bad for him.

But everyday, he wishes his father was still here with him.

He puts a hand on Harumi's shoulder and smiles comfortingly. "You're not alone, Rumi."

She smiles softly, and puts her hand on his shoulder. "Either are you. I know it must be difficult to think they're trying to bring your father back. I can't imagine what must be going through your head. Whatever happens, I'll be here."

She leans in, slowly, until her face was almost close to his. She closes her eyes.

His eyes widen when he realizes what was happening. He steps back, a little too quickly. "Uh. I better go see what the—Um. I have to go, uh, that way." He stutters in a flustered, blushing mess. Then, he walks away from her, too flustered to even think what just happened.

She giggles softly.


Everyone was gathered in the medical bay when Pixal called them over. Nya and Jay walk on in.

"Everything okay?" Nya asks, closing the door behind her.

"There's been a development. I have been attempting to repair the damage to his system when I stumbled on something."

Garbled gibberish from the day before played on the screen. "What's that?"

"A digital communication between Mr. E and the Quiet One. Zane intercepted and recorded the call in his last moments of consciousness. It was encrypted, but I managed to decipher the message."

"Play it for us, Pix." Katarina says.

Slowly but surely, the message deciphers and becomes less encrypted and less like gibberish. Seconds later, a distorted, mechanical voice says, "The trap has been set."

Everyone gasps.

"Trap? What trap?" Jay panics.

Kai scoffs. "Huh. Classic bad guy stuff. It must be in their DNA."

"But wait a minute. If Mr. E sent a message, maybe we can locate the Quiet One's whereabouts." Nya suggests. "Pixal, can you triangulate the point of origin?"

"I've already started the trace program."

"That's great, Pixal." Lloyd smiles. "How long will it take?"

"I don't know. The storm is interfering with my trace program. If we descended to a lower altitude, it might help."

"The storm is hiding us. If we drop below the clouds, won't the Sons of Garmadon spot us?" Katarina says.

"Kat's right. We're in pretty bad shape at the moment. We have to stay in the storm. Can't risk being spotted." Lloyd says.

"So where do we go?"

Cole opens the door, holding a blanket that had a map scribbled all over it. He shows it to everyone, a smile on his face. "We go there!"

"What is it?" Nya whispers.

"All this time it was with the baby." In the center of the blaket was a red X. "The map to the last Oni Mask."


During dinner, the Ninja and Harumi looked over the map at the table. They had already finished eating, except for Jay because he wanted to get the last meatbal eaten off his place.

As they all looked over the map, Jay tried to get the meatball with his fork, but kept missing.

"I don't get it. Why was the baby wrapped in a map?" Kia wonders aloud.

Cole shrugs, holding the baby, who was wrapped up in another blanket. "I don't know. Maybe they didn't have any diapers either."

Harumi points to a place on the map. "This part here looks like it could be the central part of Ninjago."

Nya looks at the red X in the center of the map. "And the X. You think the third Oni Mask could be hidden there?"

Lloyd gasps. "Primeval's Eye!"

Everyone else looks at him with wide eyes. "My mother used to tell me about this place. It's an uncharted vast wilderness of death. Her friend, an archaeologist, I think his name was Dr. Yost, he had gone in to map the area." Lloyd explains. He looks at the map. "But he never returned."

"Hm...I don't want to say it, but it sounds like the perfect place to hide something you don't want anyone to find." Katarina hums.

Jay laughs, still trying to stab the meatbal with his fork. "Haha. Come here, you little sucker!" The meatball rolls off his plate and near Kai's hand. Jay raises his arm in the air, fork in hand.

But unfortunately, the fork landed on Kai's hand.

Kai yells in pain. Everyone in the room gasps in shock. Cole winces, and he covers the baby's eyes with his free hand.

Jay gasps at the sight of Kai's impaled hand. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to-!" He tries to make a move to remove the fork, but Kai doesn't let him.

"Don't! Just don't."

Nya gets up and pries the fork out of Kai's hand quickly. After she bandages his hand up and puts the bloodly fork in the sink, she sits back down. The monitor behind her makes a small, fritzing noise that no one seemed to hear.

She looks at Cole feeding the baby something. "What are you feeding him?"

"Tea." Cole replies.

"Tea? You can't feed a baby tea!"

"Why not? He likes it." The baby smiles and drinks the tea Cole gives him happily. "He won't drink anything else."

"HA! Gotcha!" Jay holds up his fork, the meatball now on it. Nya turns her attention to her boyfriend and smiles fondly. Kai on the other hand, shudders at the sight of the fork. "Who's laughing now, meatball?"

Suddenly, a noise sounds over the Bounty. The lights turn off in the dining room. The roms shakes. Everyone falls to the floor.

"What happened to the lights?"

Lloyd gets back up steadily. He looks around, checking to see if everyone was okay. "Get to the bridge! Quick!" The Ninja run to the bridge. Harumi follows closely behind, but turns around and grabs the map off the table before continuing.

The Ninja and Harumi get to Zane, who was still offline. "Pixal, what's happening?!"

No response.

"Pixal, come in!"

"Must be a power failure." Kai shrugs.

"Or it's a trap." Jay argues.

"Freaking out isn't going to help us." Cole tells him.

"Jay might be right. The backup generators would have kicked in. This is something else!" Nya says.

The monitor above Zane turns on. The alarm sounds from it. "Emergency! Emergency!"

"What happened, Pixal?" Katarina asks her.

"I'm detecting a foreign presence has been introduced into my system." Pixal explains.

"Foreign? What are you talking about?" Lloyd presses.

"It appears we are being tracked. I have lost control of the ship."

"How did something get in?" Jay wonders aloud.

Sparks flew from Zane's now-open compartment. The panel was wide open for everyone to see. Kai gets closer to have a closer look inside. "The trap. Something was planted on Zane. They wanted us to take him in!"

"Proximity alarm. Something is approaching the Bounty fast."

"Onscreen."

The monitor shows a picture of Samurai X and their Samurai X mech. "It is Samurai X."

"Oh. He must be here to help us out." Cole smiled.

"I'm afraid that is unlikely."

"Why?"

"Because my system is overrun."

Kai bangs the bed Zane was on. "You're making no sense, P.I.X.A.L.. What are you talking about?"

"This would be a good time to make a minor confession." She shows a closer view of Samurai X. Her voice distorts. "I am Samurai X."

The room was filled with an uncomfortable silence as the Ninja and Harumi tried to comprehend the news.

"What the fuck?"

"What? Are you serious?"

"How is that possible?"

"How can you be Samurai X?"

"Totally called it!"

"You did not!"

"Did too!"

Something soars in the air. A red laser comes to one of the ship's thrustser at high speed. The ship shakes at the sudden loss of one of its thrusters. The thruster shuts down.

"We probably needed that, right?" Harumi asks.

"The mech is targeting the second aft thruster." Nya looks at Lloyd, panic in her eyes. "Lloyd, if we lose the second-!"

"I know, I know. We'll drop out of the sky like a brick." He looks at the team.

"Nya, try to find the foreign agent." She nods.

"Jay, keep that lightning off our back." Jay summons his electricity. "The rest of us, get ready to fight."

Everyone got out their weapons and headed out to the deck. Cole runs to their sleeping quarters and set the baby down in his crib. "Stay safe, little buddy. I'll be back to get you before you know it."

By the time everyone was outside on deck, it was pouring rain from the storm. Lloyd, Jay, Kai, Cole and Katarina kept their eye out for the Samurai X mech and its passenger.

Something soars in the clouds. Lloyd recognizes it as the mech immediately.

"Be on alert!" Everyone except Harumi got out their weapons at once, with Katarina summoning her twin daggers with her magic.

Lightning strikes near the Bounty. "That lightning is getting way too close for comfort. Jay, try to hold them off."

Jay nods, and stretches his arm out. Lightning came out of his hand and towards the lightning from the storms. He wards his off to the best of his ability, and breathes a sigh of relief. He looks at the team and smiles. "You're welcome!"

The mech appeared from out of the clouds and dove down. The mech shot lasers from the mech's hand, getting to the Bounty's sails. The Bounty shook from the impact.

"There!"

Lloyd growled. "Can't see a thing in this storm!"

Kai nodded. "Time to light this place up!" He conjures a ball of fire in his hands and sends it up into the air. He watches the fireball make its way up to the clouds, making sure the fireball provided enough light for the Ninja and Harumi and didn't stray too far off from the ship.

"Rumi, stand back and take this." Lloyd holds out a katana for Harumi.

She puts her hands up in the air, uneasiness and panic on her face and tone of voice. "But I don't know how to fight!"

"But you wanna live, right?" Harumi hesitantly takes the katana from Lloyd's hand, and grips onto it.

Katarina points to the mech. "I see it!"

Everyone runs to the side of the ship, watching the mech fly away from their line of sigh again.

Lloyd conjures a ball of energy in his hands, and sends it at the mech. The mech dodges his energy blast. He conjures a second one, this time the mech didn't miss. The energy ball hits the mech.

The mech dives down and lands on the deck. It gets a large sword resembling a katana from behind the mech's back. Lloyd gasps, realizing what Pixal was trying to do. He looks down at the second thruster.

"Don't let her get the thruster!"

Jay runs towards the mech. The mech uses an arm to throw him aside, sending tumbling to a stop on the ground.

Cole and Kai run toward the mech. Cole tries to hit it with his hammer, but the mech grabbed and held him in its hand. Kai's katana met the large one, and he was easily thrown aside and sent tumbling across the ship. Kai goes overboard, and he had to grab onto a rope of the ship's sails for support.

Samurai X takes one look at Cole and throws him aside. He walks up to Lloyd, Katarina and Harumi. The mech strikes its sword down at Lloyd and Katarina, forcing them to dodge and move aside as the mech's large sword clanged with the ship.

When the mech's sword struck down again, they run up the sword and struck down on the top of the mech while avoiding Pixal as much as possible. The mech's hand forces Lloyd down onto the floor, knocking the sword out of his hand, while also grabbing Katarina and throwing her to the other side of the ship.

The mech raises the sword in the air. Lloyd gasps, and closes his eyes shut as the sword almost met with his body.

Something stands in the way and knocks the sword's blade aside. Lloyd opens his eyes, and smiles as he realizes it was Harumi who did that. She smiles back.

Suddenly, the mech swoops its hand down and grabs Harumi, picking her up from the floor. She screams as the mech climbs on the side of the ship.

"LLOYD!"

The mech falls for a quick, few seconds and flys down far below. Lloyd quickly gets up and runs to the side of the ship, watching the mech get away with Harumi.

"HARUMI!"

With renewed vigor and determination, he runs across the ship, grabs his sword, and climbs on the side of the ship. Without hesitation nor a second thought, he jumps down and lands on the back of the mech. Kai, Cole, Jay and Katarina gasp in shock as they watched.

"He did not just-"

"He just did!"

Lloyd climbs to the front of the mech, and looks at Pixal in her Samurai X gear. "Pixal, you have to stop this!"

"There is no Pixal, only the Quiet One." Pixal answers in a robotic, monotone voice.

"Sorry about this!" He yells, slicing his sword across the mech's chest which each word. "But you're not exactly in the right frame of mind!" He raises his sword into the air and stabs the blade right in the center of the mech.

Harumi screams. Sparks flew from where Lloyd stabbed his sword's blade, and smoke emitted from the mech. Pixal presses a button from inside her mech, launching her into the air and towards the Bounty.

"I did not think that through."

Pixal soars up higher into the air by the time she reached the Bounty. She executes a front flip, landing herself a dozen feet away from the rest of the team. On her back were twin katanas. She gets one from behind her back, turns around, and gets in ther fighting stance.

"You're supposed to be our friend!" One by one, the Ninja run towards her.

Harumi screams once again. Lloyd climbs on the arm Harumi was trapped in. "We're...we're...we're gonna-!"

"Look at me! We're gonna get outta this! You hear me?" He uses both of his hands to pry her free from the mech's hand and grabs onto her.

She grabs the map and looks at him. "The map! Maybe we can use it to parachute down!"

"That's never gonna work!" He points out. He looks around, trying to get any more ideas. He grabs her hands and gently puts her inside the mech, making sure she was secured.

"The suit should break your fall!"

She shakes her head in protest. "What? No! What about you?"

"Sorry. Only room for one."

"No! I need you!"

He blushes once more. He takes the map from her hand. "And I need that map!" He jumps up high into the air as he gives her a sorrowful look. From inside the mech, she screams again.

He opens up the map. He sighs. "I didn't think this through either." He grabs the ends of the blanket with both hands, praying that it would serve as some sort of parachute.

Which it did.

The mech falls and tumbles harshly when it meets the ground, until it skid to a stop. She groans in pain. The mech's doors open up.

Lloyd tumbles through the trees, his body going back and forth as it met the trunks. He skids to a stop on the ground. He groans in pain as well.

Kai's twin katana's meet Pixal's katana. They release their swords from one another as Cole came in and bangs his hammer down on the floor. Katarina and Jay yell when their feet make contact with Pixal's chest, sending her across the Bounty.

Pixal sits up, studying the four Ninja. She looks at the thruster. She picks up her sword. The group close in on her.

"Pixal, put down your sword right now." Katarina orders her.

Pixal raises her sword up into the air. "I shall comply." With one throw, the katana flips in the air.

"Reboot complete. System online."

The helmet protecting Pixal's eyes opens up slowly. A small, beeping noise sounds from her, indictating her system was fully rebooted and she was back to normal. She opens her bright green eyes.

Everyone watches in horror as the katana gets closer and closer to the thruster. Nya and Zane run outside.

Just in time to see the katana go into the thruster and destroy it, too.

The Bounty shook, and tilted sideways. Smoke billowed from both thrusters. The ship was going down.

"She got the last thruster." Jay said.

"Any ideas?"

"Not a one." Zane shakes his head.

"Yeah, me either."

"Pray to Wohira!" Jay shouted.

Nya rolled her eyes and scoffed. "That is not helpful!"

"Perhaps if we can create enough drag with the sails, we may be able to achieve a controlled crash." Zane suggests.

Katarina points to the destroyed sails, which were burnt and barely salvageable thanks to the mech's lasers. Zane makes an O shape with his mouth. His eyes widened.

Nya looks around, then up at the sky. Jay gasps. "The rain! It could slow our fall!"

She nods. "It's worth a try."

She runs to the front of the ship and climbs up. She raises her arms up in the air, trying to concentrate the rain. She sighs in frustration.

She turns around and looks at her friends. They were all counting on her. She takes a deep breathe, and tries again. She raises her arms up into the air, focuses and concentrates.

Seconds later, the rain went under the bridge on her command. The team felt the ship slowing down its descent. The rain pattered fron underneathe.

"Ha! It's working!"

Nya grunts. They could see the bridge edging closer and closer to the forest.

"Brace for impact!" Katarina summons protective bubbles around her friends as they duck and brace for impact.

Cole perks his head up when he hears the baby crying. He runs inside as fast as he could, and gets inside their sleeping quarters. He picks the baby up from his crib, and closes his eyes tightly as he closed his eyes shut.

"Hold on, everyone!" Katarina screams.

Once the forest hit the trees, everything inside the ship and everyone it tumble and were tossed around as the ship's body shook violently from the sudden impact.

Nya falls from where she stood, but before her head could hit the floor, Katarina stands up quickly, grabs her, and hugs her to her chest tightly as they were sent tumbling backwards.

After a harsh moment of the ship being sent through hell, it finally stopped. The Ninja and Pixal groaned from being thrown around like ping-pong balls.

Katarina opens her eyes and looks down at Nya, who lifted her head up. Nya groans. "You okay, Nya?"

"Yeah, I am. What about you?"

"Same here."

They stare at each other for a moment, as Katarina blushes slightly. Nya just blinks. "Kat?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you let go of me now?"

"Uh...yeah, yeah, totally." Katarina lets go of her, and helps her up. Nya brushes the stray hair out of her face. Jay rushes up to Nya and cups her face in both of his hands, checking her for any bruises or scrapes.

"Everyone okay?"

Everyone groans in agreement.

Cole walks out of the Bounty, the baby safely in his arms and unharmed. "You okay too, little buddy?" The baby smiles and coos to Cole in agreement.

Zane gets up and dusts the dirt off his gi. "Zane." His head perks up to the sound of Pixal's voice. He turns his head to her and gasps.

Pixal removes her helmet from her head, and holds it underneathe her arm as she walks up to him. She smiles at him.

"All this time, it was you. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I had to keep my identity a secret to protect those I cared about." She explains to him.

He chuckles. "You don't have to lie to me. You didn't like being stuck in my head."

She chuckles back. "There was that too."

"From now on, no more secrets." She sets her helmet down, and lets Zane embrace her in a hug. He missed being able to do this when she was in his head, and he was sure she felt the same way.

"What about Lloyd and Harumi?" Kai asks worriedly.


Harumi picks up the blanket map from the ground and ties it around Lloyd's arm, turning it into a makeshift arm sling. He winces in pain.

"There." She says with a soft smile.

He smiles back and looks around the forest. He sighs.

"I think...we're on our own."
