Lance sat in his chair typing at his tablet. One of the Dennis passed by, brushing the dust of the ground. The brims of the brush producing a scratching sound. Lance stole a glance at the robot, before looking back down to his device.
He tried to ignore everything. He was in total misery. Tuning everything out made him feel better. But nothing really made him happy. Not even his 'amazing' pictures of himself. He stopped typing and stared at his tablet. He remembered giving it to Ava, to see if she could fix it after he filled it with virus'. He frowned thinking.
Ava gave them the idea to go back to the castle and get Merloks memory, which Monstrux and Jestro soon learned and decided to destroy it. And Ava wouldn't have gotten the idea if Lance hadn't given his tablet to her to fix.
Shaking his head Lance got up leaving his flat device on the chairs arm rest. Lance walked out of his room, his head bowed dejectedly. Walking into the main room he looked at Clay's statue form. Walking up to it, he stared, doing his best not to look away.
Clay just stood silently. Standing still, his arm raised as if he was about to swing a sword. He felt guilt pull at his heart. He didn't fell responsible for Clay turning into a statue but a nagging thought chased away his ego filled ones and kept reminding him it was mostly his thought that they lost Merloks memory and most of their nexo powers.
The sound of the door opening made Lance jump. He quickly turned around to see Aaron walking in throwing his shield away angrily. Lance gaped at Aaron as he walked to the table and sat down, folding his arms and resting his head in them.
Looking around slightly he walked to Aaron and patted his back. "Uh… you alright their buddy." He asked rasing a brow. Aaron looked up to him, but then just looked back down. Lance opened his mouth to say something but stopped himself when Aaron sighed.
"I just can't believe all of this." He muttered shaking his head weakly. "I thought things would be like the first time around. Not all of this!" Aaron exclaimed throwing his arms up as he strainged. Lance gasped slightly and bounced back.
"W-well. Yeah! I know right. I thought it was gonna be like I save all of your lives as well as the people. You know, because I'm great like that." Lance said, grinning. His grin shook as Aaron sent him a deadpan look. "Okay fine, I thought it was just gonna be like the first time. we stop Jestro and Monsturx, winning easily." He admitted rubbing the back of his head. He remembered the first time the newly formed Cloud of Monstrux and newly evil Jestro came around. He thought he defeated their living statues with ease at first and rubbed it in their face.
Aaron nodded lightly and looked to Clay. "Do you think we'll ever be able to get him back?" He asked worriedly. Lance's eyes widened before he narrowed them into a glare.
"Of course we will! We always figure a way around things. We thought we couldn't stop Monstrux, Jestro and their statutes, but then Ava and Robin figured away around that and gave us combo nexo powers! Those two will figure a way out to help him or the rest of us will!" Lance ranted. Aaron stared in surprise at Lance saying something about all of them without acting egotistical. Before another thing could be said Lance suddenly wrapped his arms around Aaron and worriedly added. "I hope..."
Aaron sat stunned before wrapping his arms around Lance. The door opened again. Aaron looked over to see Macy and Axl, staring slightly wide eyed. Aaron wordlessly extended an arm towards them. Macy ran over and wrapped her arms around the two. Axl soon followed and wrapped his large arms around all of them. They didn't know how to cope with everything. It just seemed to be a day of misery after a day of misery. But they felt relived they had each other to look out for them.
