Sacred Dragonblade: Sorry for being gone for so long, but, you know, school and stuff.Lloyd POV: As soon as I saw Ningajo City I began to wonder if this was a good idea. Of course I want to find the guys who did this, but how will I be able to face them after all that has happened. We landed on the Bounty that was pirched on top of Ninjago tower.

"What are we doing here?" I asked, a bit confused.

"We are going to see Zane."

Okay I didn't think that it would be just him.

"So about the others. What happened to them?"

"Well Zane remained here, Cole lives with his father now and protects his hometown, Jay went home with his parents, and Nya travels with her parents."

"I see." I guess that couldn't be helped. Kai was the one who know exactly what to say to get us back on our feet, but now.

"We are here." Wu said, stopping in front of a large lab door.

I braced myself and walked in.

Zane was typing on a large computer and seemed to be deep in thought. I didn't know what to say until I heard Wu locking the door behind me. Of course he would do something like this.

"Lloyd?"

I turned around and saw that he was staring at me with surprise.

"Hey Zane." Oh my god this is awkward

"I know that it has been a long time and I know I probably-"

He walked over, pat me on the shoulder, and hugged me.

"You have no reason to explain yourself to me. I understand." he said in a calm voice.

I just syood there for a few seconds then hugged him back. After a few mintues we let go.

"Still I should have said something." I said, looking down.

"In this sort of situation I don't think that words would have done anyone any good. I am glad though that you are back." he smiled.

It does pay to have good friends.

Wu unlocked the door, came in, and said "It's good to see that you two are hugging, but now it is time to get back to work. Zane have you been able to contact the others."

"Wait you haven't talked to them?"

"After you left the rest decided they also needed time to think things over." Zane said then adding "Though I don't believe that was your fault."

"It's okay. So we should find them?" I asked Wu.

"Correct."

"Then let's get to it."
