(Still Jay's POV)

"Ya, but..." Nya started before narrowing her eyes into the fog.

I turned back to the space in front of us and went over the area again. This time there were several shadowy figures, each of them were moving closer to us. Now is as good a time as any to try spinjitsu. I got ready but one of the figures talked.

"Jay?"

I froze in place. "D-dad?" It can't be, I know Kai said they got out of the city safely but this is pretty far away. The flight was at least an hour, that's several miles. Sure enough my dad stepped through the fog and my mom was right behind him.

"Oh, Jay!" They both yelled and gave me a hug.

"Where have you been? Your father and I were so worried."

They hadn't told them I had gotten turned evil? "Um..."

"What happened to your eye?!" my mom gasped when she let go.

"I helped Kai and a stone soldier got me - but I'm honestly fine!" I added quickly.

They looked at each other.

"If you say so son but, try not to get hurt worse." my dad said.

I smiled in relief.

"Who is this?" my mom asked. She must have noticed the young hypnobrai behind Nya.

"His name is Skales Jr." Nya replied.

He waved shyly to my parents and they waved back.

My dad turned to me. "Shouldn't he be with his parents or other serpentine?"

"They are under the Overlord's control." Skales Jr answered softly.

"Oh you poor child." my mom said. "I hope my son and his friends are taking good care of you."

"They have. Jay was freed four days ago and he has been really nice."

My parents looked confused.

"What does he mean "freed"?" my dad asked.

Nya explained what happened and they didn't seem that upset. We talked for a while. They told us what has happened since they were dropped off here. Surprisingly there were a lot of people here. There was the owner of Doomsday Comics, Cole's dad, Gale the news reporter, quite a few of the kids from Darkles Boarding school and somewhere around 45 other people lived here now. The people who lived in Jamanakai Village before had either become evil and went to Ninjago City or had been in houses and weren't turned evil. Wow, looks like a lot happened while I was gone.

"Why isn't Kai with you?" my mom asked.

"He's grounded." I replied. That's basically what it is.

My dad looked at us confused. "What do you mean?"

"My brother decided to sneak out to find information on the Overlord and almost got him and Jay caught."

"Really!" They turned to me.

"I saw him sneak out and thought he might need back up when he got into a fight."

"Well what ever the reason was son, you need to be more careful." my dad said.

I nodded. About five minutes later Sensei Wu, Misako and, Dr Julien came back through the fog. They each had a bag in one had and Sensei had a teapot in the other. This whole trip was to get, tea. It took them almost an hour, just to get tea.

"It's nice to see you three found Jay's parents." Sensei said with a smile. "How are you two doing?"

"Oh great. There haven't been any stone soldier sightings in the last five months." my mom replied.

My dad nodded. "Yes siree. Some people are still coming here from time to time as well."

"Has anyone mentioned anything about the other villages?" Dr Julien asked.

"Not yet, but we'll let all of you know when we do."

"Thank you." Sensei turned to the three of us. "We should return to the dojo, it is getting late."

I looked at the sky. It had to be about three in the afternoon. We all said goodbye as we got on the dragon. After a few minutes of flying I heard Nya say something.

"My brother is going to get it from me if he isn't there when we get back." she said under her breath.

Knowing Kai he's halfway across Ninjago city.

(Back to Kai's POV)

The streets were crowded with stone soldiers, serpentine, and people under the Overlord's control. I finally made it to the building but the place was guarded even more than last time! Great, now what am I supposed to do?

"More soldiers are needed at the factory on the west side of the city." a stone soldier called out.

So there are more. I knew it!

Several warriors gathered into a group and left in the direction of the other building. I followed for about 45 minutes until we finally arrived at the building. It was double the size of the other one and with about 50 guards on the outside. That means there's probably 150 to 200 of them inside.

"When do you think the weapon will be finished?" a fangpyre asked.

"Last I heard in 8 months." a constrictai replied.

Now that I know the date, all I need are some blueprints of the machine. I turned to the building. And I know the perfect place to look. With part of a plan in my head I made my way to the building. Surprisingly enough, with how many of the Overlord's forces were there, none of them saw me. I stayed out of sight and managed to look around. This place had a similar setup as the other factory but instead of one conveyor belt there were three. Looking around some more I found they stone army General asleep at a desk a few feet from were I was and on the desk were several papers. One of those is bound to be the plans. I snuck over to the table and went through the papers until I found what I needed. Bingo.

"Intruder! Intruder! Ninja sighted!"

Just my luck. I put the papers in my pocket, pulled out my sword and ran to the door. "NINJAGO!" Within seconds I was outside, knocking down every enemy around me. I ran at least ten blocks before I was nobody was following me. That should be far enough. I looked down at the watch on my wrist, I had left about 1:00 pm now it was 3:17. There's no point in staying out here. I looked around and made my way back to the dojo. It took longer than normal because I was making sure I wasn't being followed. Just like Garmadon said the others hadn't come back yet. I went to the room wear he was and turns out he was awake.

"Your back already?"

"Ya, I found some blueprints of the machine they are building." I replied. "I thought you were going to take a nap."

"I did." Garmadon explained. "How about we look at those plans?"

"Why are you so interested in them?"

"Because I would like to know if your suspicions about them were true." he replied calmly. "It was part of the deal."

That's true. "Fine."

We went over the papers I got. The weapon looked like the one on the Dark Island and apparently it will shoot dark matter like the first one did. Only this one was bigger. About 5 stories tall and half a city block wide. Just by moving down a street it would crush the houses on either side under the wheels and cause the houses by them to collapse. I also happened to grab a list of where the five other factories and some bases were located. Go figure. The third was a list of takeout food from McDonald's. Seriously? Including a Happy Meal with: "For General Kozu. Hands off!" written in red marker. The last was a map of Ninjago covered in gray pencil lead representing the area the Overlord control. Most of the page was gray. I hadn't realized Overlord controlled so much of ninjago already.

"My brother and the others will want to see these." Garmadon stated.

"If they don't yell at me for leaving first."

"You went outside!?" Nya yelled from the doorway Jay walked up behind her.

"When did you get back?" I asked.

"Five minutes ago." she responded. "You better have a good explanation for this

"Oh, I did." I stated. "All of Ninjago is in danger and I'm not going to sit back and do nothing, I got some important information that will give us a better chance of defeating them." I gave the papers to Nya and Jay who looked over them in a serious way, until it came to one of the pages, at that point Jay burst out laughing.

"Who knew stone soldiers liked fast food."

"Ya. So where did you guys go?" I asked.

Nya answered me. "Jamanakai Village."

That's where we took everyone to get away from the city before Nya was freed.

"I saw my parents" Jay added, his tone changed a little.

"How did that go?"

"They didn't seem too upset." he stated.

That's lucky.

Nya shuffled through the papers again. "If you hadn't gotten good information I would have slapped you so hard. We should show these to Sensei."

"What is it you need to show me?" he asked when he stepped through the doorway.

"Hello Wu." Garmadon said.

"How are you?" Sensei asked.

"Good. I sent Kai to find some information on the... stone army and what he found is very important."

Sensei turned to me and glared. "I will look at them tomorrow. We should all get some rest."

Figures. We all said goodnight and went to our rooms. I need to get rid of those factories, but how?

A/N: I'm working on my school musical so I might not be able to update as often. Also, I'm getting really close to the ending of my first story so to reduce any spoilers I'm going to continue to update that one less than this one. But, I haven't given-up on it I just want both stories to be good. Any who, I hope you all enjoyed, please comment and if you have suggestions please let me know. I enjoy reading all the reviews, thank you to those who have. :)
