Bones looked at the Spinjitzu monestary and then at Aether, 

"Are you sure we can trust them?"

Aether nodded her head, 

"According to what you and Nyx have said about the Ninja, they should be able to help us get into Imperium. I will use my powers to shield myself while you speak with them. I will only make myself known when we get to Nyx,"

Bones sighed, 

"Alright, I still don't like this,"

"I know,"

Bones sighed and walked to the doors and knocked. A kid opened the doors in surprise, 

"Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get here?"

Bones sighed and glanced him over, 

"Are you supposed to be a ninja? I thought they only wore certain clothing. I guess times did change,"

The kid glared at him, 

"I am a ninja in training! Who are you?"

"My name is Bones. I'm here because my best friend is in trouble,"

"Why come all the way here?"

Bones shrugged, 

"She believed in the Ninja. She got captured by some guys that work in Imperium,"

The kid's eyes widened in surprise, 

"My name is Arin. Come inside,"

Bones nodded and walked in before glancing back one last time as the doors shut behind him. Arin ran up to a girl, a dragon, and a guy with blonde hair and green eyes. Bones tilted his head and narrowed his eyes as the man looked familiar to him for some reason.

"Lloyd!"

Lloyd looked up at Arin and frowned at the skeleton behind him, 

"Arin, who is this?"

Arin pointed at Bones, 

"This is Bones. His friend is in trouble,"

Lloyd frowned and nodded, 

"What kind of trouble?"

Bones stepped closer to him, 

"My best friend, she was taken by some soldiers last week. I tracked them until I got to Imperium, I can't get in because I'm not from there. She believed in the Ninja, and I need help getting her back."

Lloyd nodded and Sora smiled largely, 

"You are in luck! We are going to Imperium today,"

Bones tilted his head in confusion, 

"Why?"

Lloyd sighed, 

"They have this new device, it's an indestructible weapon and we need to destroy it to protect the dragons,"

Bones nodded, 

"They have been targetting the dragons a lot more recently,"

Arin narrowed his eyes, 

"How do you know?"

Bones smiled nervously, 

"Well, I ran into one when coming here and helped them get free from the same soldiers that took my best friend,"

Lloyd nodded, 

"Okay, let's get going. What is your friend's name?"

Bones eyes widened, 

"Avalon, her name is Avalon. She's all I have left,"

Sora and Arin immediately shared a look and nodded at each other, 

"Let's get your best friend back,"

Bones smiled largely, 

"Great! When do we leave?"

Sora frowned as she realized one key thing, Bones was a skeleton, there were no skeletons in Imperium, 

"Um. Bones, I think you have to stay here with Kai,"

Bones eyes widened and he immediately crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at the three, 

"No. There is no way that I am not going to save Avalon. She's my family."

Lloyd brought a hand up, 

"We understand, Bones, we do and we will get her back. But, there is no way we can sneak in with you. Your a-"

"A skeleton. I know."

Sora put a hand on his shoulder gently, 

"Bones, we will do everything we can to save her."

Bones sighed, 

"Fine. Who is Kai?"

Lloyd winced, 

"He's right inside, we have to run to get to Imperium, so just head inside and tell him that Lloyd sent you inside,"
