Ethan's phone started to ring. It was the Austin Powers ringtone, like in the movie.

Really been meaning to change that, Ethan thought. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered it.

"Hello?" Ethan said.

"Hey, Ethan," The Doctor said through the other end of the phone. He sounded a little too happy.

The Doctor had dropped off Lazarus at Cyrus' office and ran of to who knows where. They were back in Borg tower, looking for where the Nindroids had taken Cyrus.

"What's the bad news?" Ethan asked.

"It's not entirely bad," the Doctor said.

"Then give me most of the bad news then," Ethan said, rolling his eyes.

"We have a new guest," the Doctor said.

"Oh goodie," Ethan said, sarcasm seeping from his voice.

"I named him Joel," the Doctor said. Ethan raised a brow. Well, not sure it'd be a brow since there's no hair there.

"You named him?" Ethan said with a little surprise.

An alarm starts blaring. Ethan jumped.

"I gotta call you back!" Ethan said. He quickly hung up, shoved the phone in his pocket, and raced to the ninja and others.

"Our facial recognition picked up someone," P.I.X.A.L said.

"Who?" Ethan asked.

Surveillance video shows up on a large computer screen. Big, eight wheeled trucks are driving down a road…

And one of the drivers is Cryptor.

"My analysis can only presume they're using Borg to build something for them," Zane said.

"I'll head over there," Ethan said. "I was able to memorize a map of this place, and I know a few shortcuts,"

"I wanna come, too!" Lazarus perked up. Ethan shook his head.

"I don't want anyone getting hurt," Ethan said, grabbing the Colt and strapping it back on his back. "Plus, aren't you younger then me?"

"How old are you?" Lazarus said, putting his hands on his hips.

"37," Ethan said. Lazarus blinked, and looked away, rubbing the back of his neck.

"25," Lazarus said.

"My point stands," Ethan said as he walked out the door.

Ethan was speeding by on his motorcycle. It was blinding bright, so Ethan got a pair of shades. He had a small headset with a microphone to keep in touch with P.I.X.A.L

In front of him was Kai. His car was a bright red with orange flamed painted on the sides. It was like a sports car, kind of.

"How much closer are we?" Ethan said into his headset.

"Approaching convoy in three minutes," P.I.X.A.L said.

Ethan grit his teeth. "I'm gonna go a little faster," He looked to his side. On the side of a mountain, a steep drop, and no way back up. Ethan felt sick to his stomach.

Boom!

Ethan looked back at the road. Steam trails were coming from Kai's car.

He fired missles! Ethan thought.

"Dammit, Kai!" Ethan muttered. He yelled into the headset. "Cover's been blown! I repeat, our cover has been blown!"

Ethan sped past Kai, who looked surprised to see him there. Ethan slowly and carefully stood up on the seat.

Please don't miss please don't miss, His mind played on repeat.

Lasers shoot from one of the trucks, toppling rocks down onto both of them. Ethan grit his teeth, closed his eyes and lept.

BOOM! BOOM!

He felt his hand grab onto the truck. He opened his eyes, and on the side, it read FUEL.

Fuel tank, Ethan thought. He hoisted himself up onto the truck, panting.

Just then, Kai is launched right next to him.

"How was your flight?" Ethan asked.

"Shut up," Kai grumbled.

"Ethan, Kai, there's a series of one-lane tunnels up ahead," P.I.X.A.L came through his head set and Kai's sunglasses, "We must time it just right to get you both off of there,"

Kai's car veers next to the tank.

"Now!" Ethan shouted. He gets ready to jump, then he feels something grab his arm. Ethan looks back, and sees that a Nindroid has a hold of both of them.

"Dangit!" Ethan growled. He used his other hand to pull his revolver out of the holster and aimed it at the Nindoid. Kai punched the Nindoid, sending it backwards, causing it to let go of both of them. Ethan shot a glare at Kai.

"There's no time, Kai!" Ethan said. Kai just ignored him and started to fight with the Nindoird. He aimed at the Nindroid, but couldn't fire.

I can't get a clear shot, Ethan thought. He grumbled as he holstered his gun, walked over and kicked the Nindroid off the truck.

"There," Ethan said, dusting his hands off. "Nice and simple,"

Fwoom!

Ethan looked down, and there was a leak coming out of the tanker. And apparently a spark from the Nindroid hitting the asphalt ignited it.

"I can't get to you!" P.I.X.A.L said through his headset. "There's no time!"

"Jump!" Ethan said as they run to the edge of the truck and jump.

Just as the truck exploded.

The force pushed both of them at the next truck. Kai grabbed a ledge. Ethan slid down and held on the ledge. He landed right on the ledge. Well, his stomach did.

"I think I wanna throw up…" Ethan said, clearly queasy.

"Can you hear me?" P.I.X.A.L said. Ethan shook his head.

"Loud and clear," Kai said. "Well, maybe not so clear on the back of this truck,"

Ethan sighed. "This day can't get worse, can it?"

"The Overlord is still alive," Kai said.

"I just had to say something, didn't I?" Ethan grumbled.

"What?" Ethan heard Wu say. "Do you know where they're heading?"

The truck slows to a stop. Ethan lets go and falls to the ground. He pulls out his revolver.

"Wait, they're stopping," Kai said. "This might be it,"

"Shh!" Ethan hissed as he slipped around the other corner, hidden from view. "Get down from there!"

"You!" He hears Pythor's voice say.

Shit! Ethan thought.

"Me?" Kai said.

Whack! Thump!

"And then there was one," Ethan said quietly. He peeked around the corner, and saw Kai unconscious on the ground, and Pythor shaking his fist in pain.

He ducked back into the shade.

Just gotta stay quiet, Ethan thought. He holstered his revolver and listed closely.

"Tie him to one of the thrusters," Pythor said. He heard the sound of a body being dragged, and footsteps going his way. Ethan's heart sank…

A Nindroid came around the corner. Ethan quickly grabbed it, threw it against the ground, and stomped on it's head multiple times. Ethan looked around the corner. No one was there, so he took this opportunity.

He grabbed the Nindroid's mask and slipped it on. Surprisingly, his snout didn't show.

Somethimes, just sometimes, Ethan thought, These Nindroids surprise me in new and fasinating ways

He then slipped the robes off the Nindroid, only leaving the endoskeleton. He slipped the robes on, slipping his tail in his shirt, wrapped around his chest, and stepped out.

This is a really tight fit, Ethan thought. The truck started to move again, and Ethan ran beside it and looked around. Nothing much. Just a cave. He ran to a metal door to the side, down a dark purple hallway with a light purple like going through the middle, and to the other end.

He opened the door, and saw what they were working on.

It was a huge rocket. It was red, with a thick black stripe going across the rocket, near the top. The thrusters seemed to be located on the sides, with some near the bottom of the ship.

And in one of the thrusters, Kai was chained up.

Kai's hands were chained apart from each other, and a piece of duct tape covered his mouth.

Nindroids ran back and forth behind him, so making a go for it now would definitely not be a good idea…

"Hope you like barbecues. We're about to have one!"

Ethan looked to his side, and saw Pythor, smiling at Kai. Ethan slowly inched his way towards him.

"One barbecued ninja," Pythor rambled on. "Well done, please,"

Ethan grit his teeth, his heart racing. Pythor looked at some other Nindroid.

"Prepare lunch," Pythor smirked. "Oh, sorry. I meant launch,"

Ethan pulled his 44. Magnum out and pointed it at Pythor.

"Cancel the launch," Ethan said.

"You wouldn't," Pythor said. Ethan pulled the hammer.

"Go ahead," Ethan growled. "Make my day,"

Everything rumbled. Ethan looked up, and saw the ceiling was opening up. Ethan looked up.

He saw Jay, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd fall through the ceiling and onto the platforms.

Lloyd had grown a lot. His hair was a bright blonde, he had silver shoulder armor, from what Ethan though they were, green ninja robes, black gloves, silver chest armor that went over his robes, a big silver emblem in the middle seemingly holding the robes on, like a belt, and two silver buckle-like things on his lower left and right of his torso.

Pythor knocked his revolver out of Ethan's hand. It slid up against the wall. Ethan swung at him, but Pythor slid back and used his tail to sweep Ethan's legs, causing him to fall onto his back.

Ethan grunted. He looked up and saw Pythor slithering away.

Ethan jumped up on his feet and pulled the Nindroid mask off.

"That was really uncomfortable," Ethan muttered.

"Stop them!" He heard Pythor shout.

Ethan made a run for his revolver, but a Nindroid tackled him. Pain shot through his arm as they hit the ground. Ethan threw it off of him, throwing it against the railing. He quickly got up and saw something that would be very useful.

It was a fire axe, in a case with glass that said "BREAK IN CASE OF EMERGENCY".

I'd call this an emergency, Ethan thought as he went over to the glass and rammed his elbow into it, shattering the glass. He grabbed the axe and looked back at the Nindroid.

It ran at him. Ethan gripped the axe and swung it.

The axe went right through it's head. It's body fell flat on the floor, sparks coming out of its open head.

Ethan looked at the axe and smiled.

"Groovy," He said. He grabbed his 44. Magnum and ran to the other ninja.

"T-Minus 30," Ethan heard a robotic voice say.

No! Ethan thought.

He looked up, and saw Lloyd falling quickly towards them. The other ninja must have noticed, because they immediately scrambled to catch him.

Lloyd fell in their arms, and they helped him up.

"I need to get back up there!" Lloyd said.

Ethan noticed Kai was there. Ethan let out a breath of relief.

"Forget them," Cole said, "We need to get out of here,"

"But what about the Golden Weapons?" Lloyd said.

"There are more pressing problems," Jay said, "Like an entire rocket ship pressing on us!"

"Getting the Golden Weapons is the biggest problem we have!" Ethan exclaimed. "I really don't think you want the Overlord taking over Ninjago!"

"We need to do everything in our power to make sure they don't reach those weapons," Lloyd said.

"You nuts?" Cole exclaimed. Ethan nodded, and Lloyd elbowed him. "Ninja don't belong in space!"

"Says who?" Ethan said, raising a brow.

"I'm with Cole," Jay said. "This is even beyond me,"

"Well, I'm going," Lloyd said, "You said nothing was ever going to separate us again," He ran to the rocket door and looked back at them.

"Well, I'm going," He said. "Are you with me or not?"

The ground shook. Ethan ran to Lloyd.

"Get in! Get in!" He said, scrambling to open the door.

FWOOM!
