So I realized that I haven't put any disclaimers up in a while. So I should probably do that before I get sued or somethin'.

Disclaimer: Me no own Ninjago.

On another note: What do you guys think of "REBOOTED" so far? Myself, I think it's interesting. The whole Nindroid thing is really cool. Plus we get new characters too. Also, Zane's in love, Zane's in love! Speaking of love, this whole Jay/Nya/Cole triangle is...surprising. Reminds me of that twilight bull sheet! SPOILER ALERT: The next 2 episodes confirmed for next Wednesday the 16th.

Alright, I'll shut up now...

The next day, Cole2 and Nya2 were going over basics with the ninjas in the conference room while Dareth and a few others went to search for Cole.

"Now that we've agreed to help you, what are some things we should look out for?" Kai asked.

Cole2 pressed a few buttons on the table and a hologram of the stone soldiers appeared.

"Like your world, we have the stone soldiers. Unlike your world, we have weapons that can make the unbreakable, breakable." Cole2 answered.

Nya2 placed a katanna on the table.

"Nya forged a couple of shurikens from an unknown metal from Lloyd's supplies that we've stolen. This metal is so strong, and sharp, that it breaks the stone army's skin." Cole2 explained.

"We stole more of this metal to make more weapons. Swords, spears, arrows, etc." Nya2 told them.

"However, our elemental blades can break through them easily." Cole2 told the boys.

"You have an elemental blade, too." Jay said.

"Sure do." Cole2 said pulling it out and showing everyone.

"It looks just like Cole's." Jay said.

"I hope he's OK." Kai said sadly.

Zane placed his hand on Kai's shoulder.

"Cole is a strong man. Stronger than most people. He will find a way to survive. He always has." Zane told his brother who smiled.

Soon everyone else smiled.

"You remind me of my Zane. He knew just what to say." Cole2 said happily causing Zane to smile this time.

"Is there anything else we should know about?" Nya asked.

"That's pretty much it for the army. We'll supply you with a few of our weapons, so you're not defenseless." Nya2 told her.

"Where is the venge stone at?" Kai asked.

Cole2 pushed a few more buttons on the table. The holographic army disappeared and a familiar looking mountain appeared.

"The Mountain of a Million Steps." Cole2 answered.

"Wait a second. The mountain itself is made out of venge stone. Why don't we just take back what we need?" Jay asked.

"Maybe in your world, it's venge stone. Here, it's just rock." Cole2 answered.

"If sensei had a plan for Lloyd turning evil, and to stop him requires the four elemental masters, do Kai and Jay not know where it is hidden?" Zane questioned.

"Sensei only told me about the location. Being the leader of my brothers, I had the most responsibility." Cole2 answered.

"But they do know about it, correct?" Nya asked.

"Yes, they do. They've even tried to get me to tell them where it's hidden." Cole answered again.

"What is the plan regarding Lloyd and the final piece of the stone?" Zane questioned.

"Once we require it, we're going to place it in a device that will expose its energy to Lloyd, that will..." Cole2 started.

"Kill him. If you kill him, you'll be no better than him." Kai interrupted angry.

"I didn't say 'kill', did I? It will incapacitate him for as long as we need it to. Then we'll place a special collar on him that Nya's been designing. This collar will feed a small amount of venge stone energy into his body, weakening him, but keeping him alive." Cole2 finished.

The ninjas, especially Kai, gave him this look that said "really".

"Believe me, I would be happy to end Lloyd's life. But, if we're going to free Ninjago, we need to show them we're not people they should be afraid of." Cole2 explained.

"That makes so much sense." Jay said with everyone else agreeing with him.

"We'll leave soon." Cole2 said.

He began to study the map.

"Hmm?" Cole2 said observing.

"What is it Cole?" Nya2 asked.

"I never realized how close the mountain is to, him." Cole told her.

"Who's him?" Nya asked.

"When Lloyd took over, Ninjago was separated into four different sections over time. There's Lloyd, his army, slaves, and people who work for him, that counts as one. Then there's us. Then there's the pirates, led by Captain Soto." Cole2 started.

"Pirates?! You guys have the pirates here too!?" Jay exclaimed.

Cole2 and Nya2 gave him a questioning look.

"You see, in our world, when Garmadon had the Mega Weapon, he had wished for a better crew. The Mega Weapon gave him the crew of the previous owners of the bounty, our former ship, the pirates, also led by Soto. The pirates where taken out of their timeline and into ours. After the Mega Weapon was destroyed, they were destroyed." Zane explained.

"Wait. These were like pirate pirates?" Nya2 asked.

The ninjas and Nya nodded.

"Interesting. Here, they are just some crooks, prisoners, robbers, and thief's that escaped Lloyd on land, to the water. Soto, like me, thought of stealing weapons and supplies from Lloyd also. They took to the seas in their massive, weaponized, ship." Cole2 told them.

"Is there ship called Destiny's Bounty?" Kai asked.

"Close. It's called The Fate's Reward." Nya2 answered.

The ninjas gave a light chuckle.

"If these pirates escaped Lloyd and stole from him, then they clearly hate him. Have you not tried to ask for there aid?" Zane said.

"Believe me, I've tired multiple times. Soto's to damn stubborn. Here watch..." Cole2 said then pushed a few more buttons on the table.

After a few seconds of waiting, a man appeared in hologram form. This was Captain Soto. Now here, he wasn't dressed like a pirate. Although he had an eyepatch, he was missing his hook and peg leg. He wore clothes similar to that in the TV series, but they were more modern. He also didn't speak in a 'pirates' voice.

"Well if it isn't Cole. How are you this day?"

"Soto, you've stolen from Lloyd countless times and you're a natural leader. Please join us in stopping him." Cole2 told him.

"Sorry Cole. I won't risk my life or my crew's life to stop that monster. I've already stolen his most prized item. I'm in trouble as it is." Soto2 told him.

"If you could just come here and..." Cole2 started.

"No. As long as Lloyd doesn't attack my waters, I'm staying right here!" Soto2 yelled at him and hung up.

"See. Told ya." Cole2 said.

"What did Soto steal from Lloyd?" Jay asked.

"Lloyd somehow made a substance that can heal any injury. He was sending it to his army over seas, but Soto got to it first."

"Did he use it?" Nya asked.

"Who knows? He doesn't tell me anything. I barely could get his number to call him." Cole2 answered.

"So...what's the last group?" Kai asked.

Cole2 again pressed more buttons and again, another figure appeared.

"The Nindroids. This is General Cryptor." Cole2 said angry.

I have a got a crazy idea for the next chapter! Muwhahaha!
