Clay looked out over the top of the Fortrex and saw two figures lying unconscious on the ground. He ran to tell the others. Luckily for them, Ava had picked up their signal just in time. "Who, or what, do your think they are?" Robin asked. "I'm not sure," Clay answered. "So, should we go down and help them?" Lance asked. The other Nexo Knights nodded.
"What are they wearing?" Macy asked, trying not to laugh. Indeed, their outfits looked ridiculous. "Is it just me, or are their outfits identical other than the colors?" Aaron asked. He was right. The outfits were completely identical save it for the suit colors.

Jay stirred and opened one eye. He blinked. Where in Ninjago was he? He saw Cole stirring a few feet away, but who were all the other people? And where was the rest of the team? He had to use all his willpower not to laugh his lungs out, though. What in the world were these people wearing?
Cole burst out laughing, completely oblivious to Jay's attempt not to. Everyone stared at him. Jay did a facepalm. "Cole…" he said, clearly annoyed. "What?" Cole asked. "Those outfits are just… just…" He burst out laughing again.
Jay couldn't believe how rude his friend was being. "Ignore him," he told the hosts. He looked around. "So, where are we?" he asked. "You're in the Fortrex," a young boy answered. "The… what?" Jay asked. "You don't know what the Fortrex is?" the one with blue on his armor (?) said.
"Do you even know who we are?" the one with plain silver armor asked. Cole and Jay looked at each other. "Nope," the said in unison. "I'm thinking they're either going crazy, or they lost their memory," the one with green on his armor said while at the same time, the silver armored one said, "How dare you!"
Cole looked between the one with silver and the one with green. "What is happening right now?" he asked Jay. Jay only shrugged. "Maybe they came here from another dimension," the little boy said. "Robin, that's not scientifically possible," the young girl said. She continued to ramble on about what it would take for dimension traveling to be even close to scientifically possible. As she did, Cole and Jay burst out laughing.

Clay couldn't figure out what made them laugh. "What's so funny?" Aaron asked. The one wearing black was gasping for breath as he answered. "We've seen a lot of things that shouldn't be possible, but are," he said. "Snakes large enough to destroy buildings…" "A four headed dragon…" the one in blue said.
"Snake people…"
"A guy with for arms...
"Don't forget the Golden Master…"
"Don't get us started with Yang…"
"Hands of Time…"
"Chen…"
"Honestly, we could go on for days with this."
Robin turned to Clay. "Can I go back with them? Please?" he said. Clay looked at the strangers and back at Robin. "Absolutely not," he said. "Please? I'll do everyone's chores when I get back." "Thing is, Robin, we're not sure if you can make it back," Clay told him. "It's possible with the use of the Realm Crystal," the stranger in black said. "Just ask our friend Lloyd."
"Cole, maybe that's it," the stranger in blue said. The one in black (Cole, apparently was his name) looked at the one in blue with a shocked expression. "You think that the Realm Crystal was somehow in that tornado?" he asked. "It's the only logical explanation," said the one in blue.
"Hold up a sec," Aaron said. "You were in a tornado and you survived? How?" "Did you not hear us just now?" Jay asked. Cole chuckled. "Yeah, and besides, we're ninja," he added. "We practically make tornadoes on an everyday basis." "How is that possible?" Macy asked. "Like this," said the stranger in blue.

"Ninja, go!" Jay shouted as he launched into Spinjitzu. The strangers stared at him. "That was so cool!" the little boy, Robin, said when Jay had stopped. He turned to Cole. "Can you do that as well?" he asked. Cole smiled. "Kid, of course I can do that," he answered. "All trained ninja who know what they're doing can do that. Ninja, go!" Cole launched into Spinjitzu.

Robin was entranced by these strangers. "Can you teach me how to do that?" he asked. The Knights all did facepalms. "Robin," Clay groaned. The strangers looked at each other. "Thing is, kid, that it takes forever to learn how," Cole said. "All except for Lloyd," the ninja in blue said. "Yeah, it took Lloyd, what, a day to learn it?" Cole asked. "If that," the other replied. "Then again, he is the grandson if the First Spinjitzu Master." "You seem to talk about this Lloyd character a lot," Lance said, with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "Who is he?

Cole was stunned. Who didn't know who Lloyd was? He turned to Jay. "I think it's safe to say that we are no longer in Ninjago," he said. Jay nodded. "Yeah, I mean, everyone knows who Lloyd is," he said. "Everyone!" The stranger with red on her armor looked confused. "Back up," she said. "What's Ninjago?" "We are definitely no longer in Ninjago," Cole said.

Macy couldn't figure these two out. "I'm starting to think that Robin's suggestion about another dimension is what really happened," she said. "Guys, there's something weird going on," Ava called.
They got into the main room. The strangers were staring at Merlok 2.0. "What?" he asked, glaring. "They don't know us," Ava told him.
Axl ran in, holding a sandwich. "Really, now?" Clay asked. "What?" Axl asked in reply. "I'm hungry.". The stranger in blue burst out laughing. "Deja vu?" he asked. Cole glared at him.

"I have gotten better," Cole complained. "Yeah, about a calorie or two each day," Jay challenged. "You know, I bet you couldn't stop talking if your life depended on it, motormouth," Cole said, taking up the challenge. "Look who's talking, earthworm," Jay replied.
"Lightning rod.".
"Dirt brain.".
"Thunderbolt.".
"Dirt clod.".

"I'm just gonna let that situation sort itself out." Ava sighed. Robin ran in. "There's two people in the middle of the road and I'm not sure who they are," he said. "What can you tell us about them?" Clay asked. "One's wearing red and the other… how to put this?" he answered. "The other…" Clay said, encouraging Robin to continue. "Is wearing some kind of fuchsia or maroon outfit with light blue," he said at last.
"Oh, and the one in red had his fists on fire, somehow, and the other had water in a sphere between her hands." Macy looked at Ava. "Ava, you're smart," she said. "How is this possible?" Ava only clutched her head in her hands. "I… I don't know," she said. "I can't figure it out."

Jay and Cole looked at each other and smiled. "Kai and Nya," they said in unison. The strangers stared so them. "Who?" the one with silver asked. Jay laughed.
"Kai and Nya," Cole said. "A couple members on our team. Brother and sister as well as the elemental Masters of fire and water." The strangers looked a little confused. "Why do I have the feeling that we'll be telling a lot of stories on this adventure?" Jay asked Cole.
Meanwhile, outside the Fortrex
"Kai…" Nya said to her brother nervously. "If fire and water together won't scare them off, maybe Spinjitzu will," Kai said. "That's not what I meant," Nya told him. The rolling castle thing stopped. The siblings got ready for a fight if necessary.
The door on the front of the… whatever it was… opened and a group of five came out. There one in the middle spoke first. "We mean no harm unless you do," he said.
Kai turned to Nya. "What do you think we should do?" he asked. Nya shrugged. "I'm not sure," she answered. Two all-familiar voices rang out.
"Kai!"
"Nya!"
"Cole?" Kai asked.
"Jay?" Nya asked.
The two rushed out to greet the siblings, both shouting, "You're okay!" Nya rolled her eyes. "We're fine," she said, as she and Jay embraced. Kai turned to Cole. "Who's still missing?" he asked. "Lloyd, Zane, and P.I.X.A.L," Cole answered. Kai laughed. "Good luck trying to find Lloyd if he's in a forest," he said. The others laughed. "Yes," Nya said. "Really good luck."
Nya looked over Jay's shoulder. "So, who are those guys?" she asked. Cole and Jay looked at each other. "Umm… we're not sure, to be totally honest," Cole answered.

It hit Clay like a brick. "We forgot to introduce ourselves, didn't we?" he asked. "Yep," said the stranger in blue (Jay, apparently was his name). "Seeing as we'll be stuck together for a while, we might as well know each other's names," Macy said. "I'm Macy."
"Clay."
"Aaron."
"Axl."
They all looked at Lance when he didn't say his name. "What?" he asked. "They should know my name." "Lance, how are they supposed to know your name if they're from another realm?" Macy asked. "Fine," he said. "I'm Lance."
"I'm Cole," the ninja in black said. "I'm Jay," the ninja in blue said. "Kai," said the red one. "And I'm Nya," the girl finished.
They walked inside and exchanged stories until sundown.
