Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Gewuji, Dragon and Trudogolik kept on running as fast as they could to get away from the Dead's End while Trudogolik held a bunch of the stuff they picked up while escaping, wrapped in a blanket before they stop near a sand dune. Trudogolik dropped the stuff and got down on his knees, chuckling. "Freedom!" He said aloud before soon moving forward, laying down on the sand. "Hello, sweet sand."

While Trudogolik laid on his chest, the others look behind them to see they are very far away from the Dead's End. "I think we lost them." Jay said.

"Then it looks like we're good to make camp here for the night." Kai replied as they soon sigh and sat down.

"Well, first things first." Gewuji said, getting out one of her knives. "Trudogolik, I'm gonna try my best to get all that hair off of you."

"Good." Trudogolik replied as he got up, wiping what sand he could get off his beard. "I can barely see myself in all this mess."

Gewuji immediately started to cut Trudogolik's hair with the knife while Cole took off his disguise to get back in his gi, briefly taking over for Gewuji while she also got out of her disguise and back in her own gi before she resumes cutting Trudogolik's hair as the others got some sticks and wood they took from the Dragon Hunters' camp, and Kai lights up a campfire. "So, Trudogolik, how did you end up in the Realm of Oni and Dragons?" He asked.

"I was just a baby when I came to this realm, so only bits and pieces. My parents were scientists, archaeologists. They are desperate to find anything. From Fangblades to the Realm Crystal."

"Wait, the Realm Crystal?" Jay asked. "The crystal that can make someone travel to all the 18 realms at will?"

"Yeah. Anyway, when they heard about this realm, my parents came up with this stupid idea to use Traveler's Tea, and we ended up here and are suddenly branded Oni by the Dragon Hunters. They fed my parents to a Uranium Dragon and planned to do the same to me, but then, from what I heard from Daddy No Legs, my hands suddenly glowed and was now used like a night light, even when I try to sleep. It wasn't long until I was 8 that I ended up becoming a slave, forced to attract any kind of dragon with my Elemental Power so they could roast and eat them. They only gave me the remains."

"Don't worry, we'll get you back to Ninjago." Cole said. "You can enjoy eating proper food. Fruits, vegetables, bread, cake."

"Stop, your making my mouth fill with saliva, talking about food."

"Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Is Trudogolik your real name?" Zane asked.

"Not, it's not. I don't really remember my real name."

"Well, do you mind if we call you something else, or will Trudogolik do for now?" Kai asked.

"For now. Otherwise, tell me on the way." Trudogolik soon looked at Geoff's guitar. "I heard some Dragon Hunters say that was some sort of twanger, but it's a guitar, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Gewuji said. "It belongs to my brother, Geoff. He's in Ninjago, with my mother. He's probably thinking I'm dead. As well as Jay's wife and Kai's sister."

"I bet they miss them."

"Her." Jay said, correcting him. "My wife is Kai's sister."

"Sorry, I was confused. Gewuji, did you have a better childhood than I ever did?"

"Geoff and I never did." Gewuji said. "Our mother had both of our Elemental Powers before we were born. Geoff got Sand and I got Glass. When mom was sick and our dad sent her to the Cursed Realm, we tried to leave, but only Geoff managed to escape."

"It was around the time we thought Zane was dead." Cole said as he picked up the guitar. "We never spoke again when we thought he was gone, but we found out he was alive and the guys holding him were hosting a tournament for Elemental Masters, just like us." He started to slowly play it to pass the time.

"I remember it well." Dragon replied. "You guys went missing without contact, but my brother was with you all."

"Ah, your memories must be coming back, Master."

"Sorry, this kid, a master?" Trudogolik asked before a tear is heard. "Ow!"

"Sorry." Gewuji replied as she soon finished cutting his hair, and started to trim his beard.

"Just last year, Master Wu missed my wedding to fight this guy called Acronix." Jay said. "He and his twin brother, Krux, were Elemental Masters of Time."

"I heard about them because my mother was there around the time the Serpentine War ended." Trudogolik replied. "When their powers were taken away, they jumped into some sort of time portal."

"Well, Krux escaped and went under the name 'Dr. Sander Saunders'." Kai said. "He befriended and kidnapped my parents, who are blacksmiths, to build armour for their army, the Vermillion Warriors."

"Acronix came out, 40 years later, same age as the day he went in." Zane said. "He fought Master Wu in the remains of his monastery, and then, a Time Blade, made of ChronoSteel, which took his power came out of a time hole, with the power to speed up time. He used it on Master Wu and he started to rapidly age."

"Eventually, Nya and I were able to find another Time Blade, called the Reversal Blade, we were able to save him." Kai said. "But it had a side effect. Master Wu was turned into a baby and two friends of ours found him."

"That was when we were all captured by this group worshipping my brother, as Lord Garmadon." Dragon said. "They took a piece of my hair as well as his son and wife's, and he was resurrected from the Departed Realm."

"He wrecked havoc on Ninjago and after we were given Traveler's Tea by an old woman who knew Dragon pretty well, that's how we ended up here, just a week before we were captured. Who knows what Ninjago is like now?"

"But now, it's only a matter of time before he is back to his old self." Cole said.

Trudogolik soon stopped Gewuji shaving his beard just as she was about finished, and came up to Kai. "No matter what happens when we get there, we will free your Ninjaygo." He said.

"Thank you, Trudogolik." Kai replied.

"Apart from that interruption, voila." Gewuji said as she turned to Trudogolik. He soon moved his hand along his beard to feel it. "So, what do you think?"

"Not bad." Trudogolik's hair was now short and his beard was looking like a regular one, completely showing his rags.

"I did the best I could. But we'll do more when we get back to Ninjago."

"I don't mind it."

"Now, we just need to do the nails."

"Of course." Dragon soon yawned. "You look a little tired."

"Naw, I'm alright." He said.

"Now, I'm the big grownup here at the moment. And I say you should get some sleep."

"I hate to say it, but I have to agree with the very big guy with the long nails." Kai said. "We got a long day ahead of us. We need to get away from these Dragon Hunters at dawn."

"Very well, goodnight, Ninja." Dragon replied as he soon lied back and turned to one side, and started snoring before Gewuji puts the blanket they used to carry most of their stolen stuff over him for warmth.

"Sometimes, I wonder what he's dreaming of." She said.

"Probably remembering more about his life before what Acronix done to him and when he was turned into a baby." Kai replied.

"Okay, what do we have here?" Jay asked, referring to the stuff they took.

"Well, we got two swords, a mallet, a mace, two knives, a spear, a staff, a whip, enough food and water to last us a few days, and some clothes that either we wore for disguises or took from a nearby clothesline." Cole replied. "Trudogolik looks to be the same size as me, so he can wear the clothes I wore."

"And I gotta say, about your alias, 'Rocky Dangerbuff', where the dragon's turd did you come up with a name like that when there is actually a Dangerbuff clan in the Dragon Hunters?" Trudogolik asked as Gewuji started to use one of the knives to file his nails as best as she could.

"Cole actually used it before when he, Gewuji and I infiltrated the Sons of Garmadon." Zane replied. "It's the name of the group that worship Lord Garmadon. Gewuji's was 'Valencia Clouse', and mine was 'Snake Jaguar'. It was the one that made them more convincing."

"Convincing?" Cole asked. "Gewuji blew our cover, and I ended up being locked up."

"Technically, the guy who nudged me blew our cover." Gewuji replied.

"Hey, if he hadn't have done that, you two never would have found Dragon." Zane said.

"Your cover was blown the next day." Cole replied.

"At least I got useful information."

"Arguing and you call yourselves Ninja?" Trudogolik asked. "How did you all meet, anyway? I already heard Gewuji's story."

"Well, it's a long story at it may take all night." Kai said before he starts telling him his story. "It all happened over 4 years ago, back then, I was just a blacksmith-"

(A/N: Sorry if it was dull. Anyway, should I keep using Trudogolik as his name, or go with something else. If so, what are your suggestions?)
