Hope you like! Sorry for it being short, I'm in the process of going between computers. And it's a headache!

It's now early in the morning. Rainn is sitting on a crate and looking out the window. Lloyd walked over and sat next to her.
"Are you ok?" He asked gently.
She nods. "Yeah." She wipes a few tears. "Do you believe that the Ninja are trying to find a way home?"
"Yeah." The blonde nods.
Hearing voices, Lloyd turns to see Dareth, and Mistaké watching the little TV as Karlof walks up behind them.
"Every day, pick off our friends. Pick, pick, pick."
"Ugh. As long as it's not me."
Lloyd pats Rainn's shoulder, before standing up and walking over to Nya and William. "Looks bigger than your other builds." He tells them as Rainn jogs up behind him. "What are you making?"
"Since we're outnumbered, we're upping the armor and firepower." Nya answered.
"And thanks to some feedback from Skylor, we feel like it's really taking shape." William added.
"But it's so bulky." Rainn said with a frown. "We'll be sitting ducks in that."
"It's a work in progress." Skylor explained lightly with a small shrug. "She'll be ready."
"Karlof!" Mistaké called out, and everyone turns to her. "Do you think I can get your help with Lloyd's training?"
"Ooh, it would be my pleasure." Karlof answered, banging his two metal fists together.
"Go easy on me." Lloyd told him. "Powerless."
"Uh, actually, it won't be you who will be facing Karlof, but Dareth." Mistaké replied.
"Me?" Dareth squeaked, then started to stutter. "I mean ... uh, all right. Hey, heh. About time."
"But Dareth doesn't have an Element." Eleanor frowned.
"Neither is Lloyd." Mistaké said, turning to Lloyd. "Power takes many forms beyond what is physical." They move over to an arena that looks like a fighting arena, and Mistaké guides Dareth to it. "The power of persuasion. The power of numbers." She lifts her cane and points it at Lloyd. "The power to lead." She finished as Karlof climbs into the arena.
"Don't forget power of Metal." Karlof said, before slamming his fists together and he himself turns metal.
"Oh, boy." Dareth breathed as he climbed into the rink. "You're gonna be a tough nut to crack."
Eleanor suddenly turns tail and runs for the bathrooms, Nya is quick to follow.

Eleanor makes a face after she throws up, Nya knelt down next to her friend and placed a hand on her back.
"Are you ok?" The water Ninja asked.
Eleanor rapidly shook her head. "I'm."- She cuts herself off as she places her right hand on her stomach, and Nya gasped.
"What!?" She then hugs her friend. "That's great! Bad timing, but great news!"
Before Eleanor could say anything, Dareth is heard screaming.
Nya sighs. "Come on Ellie." She says gently as she helps her stand. "Let's join the others. Maybe Mistaké has a special tea to help you." She offers.
"And I hope someone has something for me to wash this junk out of my mouth." Eleanor added as she made a face. "If I could get to my father." She trailed off shaking her head. "I don't know if he's even ok."
"I said I can't fight everyone's." Lloyd was saying, at first annoyed. Then realization dawned on him. "How do I lead the Resistance?
"By finding your voice." Mistaké nudges him. "The more you inspire, the more others will inspire you." She turns to the TV that's back to Ultra Violet. "And you better find your voice soon, because today, you will be taking back the airwaves."
"Airwaves?" Lloyd asked.
"The people of Ninjago think you're gone." She turns off the TV. "Show them you are not."
"Well, you head her." Lloyd said. "Let's get a plan together."

"What!" Eleanor gasped sometime later. "You're going to Borg Tower!? I wanna go!" She begged Lloyd. "I need to find my father!"
Lloyd places his hands on her shoulders. "I'm sorry Ellie." He apologized. "But you can't this time."
"Because I might jeopardize the mission." She sighs with a small nod. "Understood."
"Again, I'm sorry."
She nods. "I know. It's ok."
"You still have your BorgWatch, don't you?" Lloyd asked.
"It broke a few days ago."
Lloyd gently squeezed her shoulders. "I'm sure your dad is fine."
Eleanor swallowed hard. "We do have a secret passage way in the basement of the tower. It's a maze of tunnels. But there is a safe room, if you know where to go."
"There you go." He smiles. "You're dad is fine then. Let's believe that." His smile fades when she looked ready to cry. "Come here." He gently pulls her into his arms, and she clings to him as a few tears slid down her cheeks.

Somewhere inside a safe room, Cyrus Borg is tinkering with something.
"Doctor!" A startled Jeff exclaimed as he watches a small TV on a table. "Look!" He points. "It's Lloyd!"
Borg looks up from his tinkering. "What?" He wheels himself over to the few guards and other workers, surrounding the table.
"Hello, Ninjago. It's me. Lloyd Garmadon. The Green Ninja." Lloyd is seen on the TV.
Borg gasps. "He's alive! I sure hope my Ellie is too."
XxXxXxXxXx
Inside his safe room. Lou Brookstone and his friends watch the TV that's hanging on the wall.
"Lord Garmadon wants you to be afraid, but I need you to be brave." Lloyd continued. "With the help of Princess Harumi, Lord Garmadon struck a major blow against Ninjago City."
XxXxXxXxXx
Back with Borg, they all continued to watch Lloyd.
"We are ready to strike back. There is a resistance. And we may be small, but we are power." Lloyd turns a little and frowns as has a loss for words. "P-powerful."
"Come on son." Borg clutched the table in front of him. "Pull it together."
XxXxXxXxXx
Inside the Garage Depot. Misako, Mistaké, along with the others are watching Lloyd.
"I may not have my Elenemtal Power anymore, but I call upon the power of the people. When we get knocked down, we rise up. Stronger than before. This is our city. He thinks he can bully us with stone giants. Well this isn't the first time our city has faced ruin. Buildings fall, but we rise! And to you, Father, I say this: fighting me may make you feel powerful, but you're about to see what real power is. The Resistance never quits."
Mistaké turns to Misako, who's smiling. "He has found his voice."
