Inside of Borg Tower, the elevator doors slid open and Cole walked out. "I'm ready!" He announces, wearing his guzzler hat.

Eleanor turns from her desk. "Cole! Why are you wearing that?"

He frowned. "What?" He asked as she walked over to him.

"This!" She yanks off the hat, making him yelp.

"Hey!"

"Essential items, Cole." Eleanor sighed as she moved the hat away as he tried to grab it.

"Honeybunny, that hat is essential!" Cole tried to grab the hat back again. "How am I supposed to quest and stay hydrated at the same time?"

"How about water bottles?" William suggested as he walked in from a room, pulling a water cooler behind him, Lilly rode on the cooler happily.

Cole walks over and picks up Lilly, making her squeal in delight. "How about you two come with us?" He offers. "That way you can monitor us and make sure that Jay doesn't try to sit on a cactus?"

"Our powers are just fine." William said. "And besides, Dr. Borg needs us to be in meetings for most of the morning."

Cole held Lilly close. "What about Lilly?"

Eleanor walked up to him. "You are not taking her with you!" She scolds. "Your dad is going to be looking after her."

"Dada!" Lilly clamps her left hand onto Cole's nose.

"Don't be cute with me, little lady." He told her with a smile, gently removing her hand. "Otherwise your daddy will try to smuggle you into our adventure."

Eleanor reaches for Lilly. "And your mommy will have to hurt your daddy."

William laughs. "You guys should have your own sitcom series." He said with a shake of his head.

Cole turns to him. "Ha! Jay should be the one who should have his own sitcom." He shifts Lilly higher onto his hip. "Have you talked with Nya recently?"

"Kai scared the poor guy to stay away from Nya." Eleanor replied.

"Yeah. Ever since I made that comment about him maybe having a nephew or niece." William shuttered.

"Kai has always been overprotective of Nya." Cole replied. "I believe that's cause he raised her after what happened to their parents."

"I dunno." William sighed. "That's part of it, yes. But I dunno."

"Yo, Cole!" Jay's voice yelled through the ear peace of the communicator. "We're gonna leave ya! Kai has ants in his pants!"

"Do not!" Kai's voice came next. "And we still need to get Lloyd!"

Cole rolled his eyes. "I guess I better get."

William clamps him on the shoulder. "Be safe." With that he turns and walks out of the room.

Both Cole and Eleanor watch him leave. "Gee, he looks blue."

"Yeah, I think Nya's been too busy at being lazy, that she forgot all about him." Eleanor sighed.

Cole turns to her. "I know you're still sore at me, I promise I'll make it right."

"You." She jabs her finger into his chest. "Are already making it right, by doing this quest, just do me a favor and watch each others backs."

He nods. "Will do!" He kisses her gently. "And you have fun with those board meetings!" He grinned, giving her Lilly and making a break for the elevator.

"That's why they call it, board meetings." Eleanor huffs.

Rainn is sitting, curled up on the couch inside Skylor's living room as she reads a book.

"Rainn, what are you reading?" Skylor asked as she walked into the room.

"A book about Clutch Powers." Rainn answered. "This book says a trap door could be anything!"

"That man is a scardy cat." Edna huffed as she walked in. "What does he know about anything?"

"It says here, that a spider web could be a trap." Rainn replied, as Skylor put Raya in her playpen.

"Spiderwebs?" Skylor questioned. "Really?"

Rainn pauses. "Right." She closes the book and tosses it. "You're right." She reaches for another book. "The Desert Of Doom." She read the title, opening it. "That's where the Ninja are going." She smiled. "According to ancient legend, local tribes once worshiped a giant thousand-year-old beetle, named Beohernie. One day, for no apparent reason, Beohernie became displeased with their prayers, and destroyed their village."

"Displeased?" Ed questioned, looking over Rainn's shoulder.

"I don't like the sound of that." Skylor said. "Why was he displeased?"

Rainn shook her head. "It doesn't say. But, listen to this. Another interesting anecdote. Travelers entering the Desert of Doom should be wary of encountering mirages."

"I can see Jay falling for one of those." Skylor replied with a smile. "On the other hand, I can see Kai wanting to see one too." She added as an after thought.

During a break from two board meetings, Eleanor stood by a water cooler as she looked through the folders in her arms.

"Ellie." William walked up to her. "Have you heard from Cole or the others?"

"Nope." She looked up at him. "Cole knows I'm in meetings till 1." She pulls out a peace of paper that she was looking for. "I know you miss Nya, stop trying to hide it."

"Ok!" He caves. "I miss her!" He studies Eleanor. "Aren't you worried about the Ninja?"

She closes her folders with a loud snap and looks up at him again. "I think their so called quest is just something for them to do. So they can just sit and relax and be lazy, and continue their laziness without Master Wu breathing down their necks." With that Eleanor walks off down the hall.

William quickly hurries after her. "You really think they're just sitting on their butts and being lazy?"

"Yes, think about it Will. They do get irritated when any of us interrupt their laziness."

William turns to a large window. "If they really are sitting on their butts, they're gonna have one hell of a tan." He tried to joke.

In the desert. The Beohernie continues to chase the Land Bounty. "What kind of weapons do we have?" Nya asked as she drove. "Didn't anyone read the manual?!"

Jay looked at her nervously. "Uhh, I was gonna read it."

"Ugh, nevermind!" She opens a door and jumps onto the seat for the cannon, then hits the button to release a spring, latching onto the Beohernie. "Ha-yah! Pull the brakes!" She yells as Beohernie pulled back.

"Ha!" Jay cheers. "You got him!"

"Nice shot!" Lloyd cheers, but the three inside the Bounty stumble when Beohernie starts to drag the Land Bounty, and Jay ends up sliding around.

"Whoa!" The four yell.

"I think he's ... got ... us." Zane exclaimed, clutching the controls.

Lloyd, who's sitting by the console, turns when the engine starts beeping. "The engine's overheating!"

"We have a problem!" Nya yells.

"We have to slow down!" Lloyd yells.

"I'm ... trying!" Zane grunts as he pulls harder on the brakes, Beohernie continues to drag the Land Bounty as the engine continues overheating.

Unstraping himself, Lloyd quickly gets out of the Land Bounty and cuts the rope with his sword. "Yah!" He yells and Beohernie dives into the sand.

Cole and Kai pulls their buggies up alongside the Land Bounty and they all look around for the beast. "What's he doing now?" Kai asked.

"What do we do!?" Jay cried, as Lloyd looks around.

"We need to get off the sand." The blonde points to some rocks. "Zane, what is that?"

Zane turns to examine what Lloyd is pointing at. "It is a cluster of rocks."

Lloyd nods, turning to his friends. "If we can make it to those rocks, we might have a chance."

"It's worth a shot." Nya said with a nod. "If the engine holds out." She then presses her ear peace mic. "Guys, there's some rocks due north. Head for those, ok?" Cole signals her. "On three. One, two, three!" Beohernie leaps out of the sand and chases them again. "Here he comes!"

"Oh, he's chasing us!" Jay cried.

Lloyd turns to Zane. "Punch it Zane!" He frowns when they get close. "What the."

"It must've been a mirage!" Zane exclaimed.

Nya looks around, until she points. "Over there!"

"Arc left!" Both Nya and Lloyd yell. The vehicle's hurry in that direction, but nothing was there.

"Another mirage?" Zane asked.

The Land Bounty steers right, Beohernie runs straight through, then it backtracks to continue it's chase for the Ninja.

"There!" Lloyd points to another set of rocks.

"Please be real, please be real, please be real!" Jay begs in chanting, before Beohernie catches up to the Land Bounty and latches onto it, causing Jay to scream and grabs his travel pillow, just seconds of Beohernie ripping the Bounty apart and the Bounty wobbles.

"Hold on!" Nya yells, and Zane grunts as he accelerates causing them to go flying and lands on a platform. Kai and Cole follow in thei buggies and crash into Bounty.

Kai sighs, he tries to start up his engine again, but fails. "Agh!"

Lloyd jumps off the Land Bounty, joining the others. "Everyone ok?"

"Yeah."

"Uh huh."

"Extremely."

"This is the worst quest ever!" Jay yelled, as Lloyd moves to check the back of the Land Bounty, then hears a roar in the distance. Lloyd quickly climbs up to stand on the roof of the Bounty to see three beetles circling the rock, as the others join him. "This." The blonde starts. "This is not good. This is really, really not good."
