So...
Alex sat down and pulled out her notebook. "Here it is," she said, keeping her emotions cut off so her mom wasn't suspicious.
Misako opened the notebook and looked through it. There was a drawing on one page of a creature with a mutant spider like body but with only four legs and two arms. It was completely black and seemed like it was melting, but that might have only been like that because Alex was seven when she drew it. "This is...very disturbing, Alex," she said.
"Uh...yeah," Alex said, her cheeks turning bright red. "Anyway, it's either one big one, a few medium ones, or many small ones. I forget which."
"Okay," Misako said, closing the book and putting it down. "I'll get your dad and uncle. We'll go find the ninja and Nya. The more there, the better. You stay here with Dr. Julien and Alex Garmadon is you leave this apartment–"
"I won't," Alex promised. "Just go save the others."
Misako nodded and ran upstairs.
The ninja stopped at the entrance to the base. "Stay close," Cole said. "And stay together."
The others nodded and they ran inside. They stopped at the living room area and waited a moment before continuing ahead. "Where do you suppose it is?" Jay asked, putting a hand on Zoey's shoulder.
Images flashed through both their heads and Zoey pulled back, breathing deeply. "Jay, never do that again," she said. "But thanks. It's the right hall."
"I'm gonna have to remember that activates your powers," Tove said.
"Watch it," Lucas warned. "Now you know not to touch her. So don't." He started down the hall with Zoey right behind him.
"Talk about overprotective," Kai mumbled.
"Alex would kill me if I was like that with her," Cole said to himself.
"Don't just stand there, we need to keep moving," Jay said. He was a bit in edge with the images that had flashed in his head. He felt his heart beat getting faster and his body getting more restless. The other ninja and him ran down the hall to catch up with Zoey and Lucas. They stopped at a large door.
"What's on the otherside?" Zane wondered aloud.
"Let's find out," Kai said, putting his hand on the door.
"Kai stop!" Jay said, but he'd already opened the door. A blinding light and thick fog poured out. Within a matter of seconds they fell over, unconsious.
Alex sat on the floor next to the couch. She placed her hand on her brother's shoulder. "He'll come around," she said softly. "Joey wouldn't..." She looked down.
"You're right, I wouldn't," Joey said. "But it's not like I can do anything." He waited for her to reply but she didn't. "Alex, I want to show you something, but you have to trust me."
Alex turned and stared at Joey. "I promised I wouldn't leave the apartment," she growled.
"You don't have to," Joey said, sitting down on his knees. "I want to show you why I can't fix him. Do. You. Trust me?"
Alex looked back to Lloyd. Maybe she could help Joey somehow. She was willing to try anything and time wasn't on her side. "Yes, I do."
Joey smiled and closed his eyes. "Then I'll show you."
Nya was glad she added a cooling system to her new suit because without it, she would've been roasting. She could still feel the heat from Torch Fire Mountain with the AC on high. She felt bad for the ninja.
She walked over to the door. Her suit wouldn't fit so she jumped out and clicked a button. The Samurai X suit retracted into a bag. Nya put it on her shoulders and started down into the tunnel, hoping it would widen out. She was also hoping to run into the ninja, but neither of those things happened. She came to three different halls and wasn't sure which to take.
"You weren't in the scroll!"
Nya jumped and turned around to see Julic. She got in a fighting position. The room wasn't big enough for her samurai suit, so she'd have to fight hand to hand.
Julic crossed his arms. "You have no powers. To me, you are no threat," he said. "Well, at least not personally. You could become one though so I guess that means I'll have to get rid of you."
"Where are the ninja?" Nya asked. "Where's Joey?"
"Joey? That's a good questioned," Julic mumbled, thinking for a moment.
Nya saw her chance and ran at him, kicking him back.
Julic pushed himself up and dusted himself off.
Nya kicked at him again and he grabbed her foot. She felt volts of electricity shoot through her. All she felt was heat as she hit the floor.
"Letting you suffer from your boyfriend's powers...I suppose that's fitting for you trying to interfer," Julic smiled.
"What...Jay," Nya said, trying to form words through the pain. She couldn't hear Julic's reply. Everything was mute as he mouthed something, turned around, and left.
And...review...
