Zack P.O.V.

We landed on Chen's island, and there was an eery silence.

"Thaw Lloyd so we aren't pulling him around," Nya told Ali.

She nodded and freed him from his imprisonment. He saw us, only to collapse on the ground in exhaustion.

"He's been through a lot, we should let him sleep," Zane explained.

Ali lifted Lloyd onto her back with Kyle's help as we prepared to set. We walked into the jungle, watching our surroundings. I felt like someone was following, but no one else seemed to notice. We stopped when we reached a path.

"Zane, which way should we go?" Nya asked. There was no response. "Zane?"

"He's gone!" I cried.

"I'm starting to feel like we aren't alone here," Kyle hissed to us.

We went down the right path, following it until I realized someone else missing.

"Where's Kyle?" I asked Nya.

Nya spun around, panicked. Ali laid Lloyd down against the stump of a tree, panting.

"How can people just disappear like this?" she asked.

"I don't know, but we best stick together and watch each other in case this is Lily's doing.," Nya declared.

Ali and I agreed. Ali lifted Lloyd up as we continued walking, back into a forested area. I kept close to Nya, who would glance over her shoulder to make sure Ali was still there. We walked into a clearing, but Ali didn't follow us. Nya panicked.

"Ali!" she cried. "Kyle!"

"Nya, why is everyone disappearing?" I asked.

"Someone else is here," she whispered, pointing towards a bush.

I noticed movement, which stopped when Nya pointed. Then someone sprinted around the clearing. I saw three more figures running around. Then a fifth one.

"There's five of them, we are outnumbered," Nya said.

'And surrounded," I added.

I turned my back on Nya, and realize too late that I had made a mistake. I spun around as she fell to the ground, a dart in her arm. I ran to her, terrified.

"Nya! Nya, wake up!" I cried to her.

I looked up and saw more movement. They're clearly getting ready for the next shot. Me. I slowly rose to my feet, my arms up.

"Don't shoot," I begged.

"That voice," a girl said.

"Zack," a man said.

"I told you he and Dash had survived," a girl said. "You doubted me."
"Who are you people?" I asked. "How do you know me?"

"Are we sure he's no with Lily and this is some trick?" the first girl asked.

"I swear I'm not with that maniac," I told them.

"That's normal Zack."
Then I watch on person come out, a cloak covered her body, but the light brown braid reveal her to me. I knew that braid from anywhere. I ran as she pulled her hood down and hugged him.

"I told you it's normal Zack," I heard laughter in her voice.

"Zack, it's so good to know you're safe," Nicki smiled as I hugged her too.

"I'm happy you guys are safe too," I smiled, but it turned to a frown quickly. "Why were you knocking us out?"

"We didn't know if Lily was forcing you to come," Roy said.

"Well, do you think she would just let Lloyd and Ali wander freely," I asked.

Nya moaned in pain. I ran to her, but she didn't wake.

"Get her and the others back to the shelter," June ordered.

"We're on it," Tylor replied. "Move out guys!"
I watched as Nicki, Roy, Stan and Tylor ran off in different directions. June came over and lifted Nya up. She motioned for me to follow her, so I did.

"How did you escape?" I asked.

She didn't reply at first. I worried that this was a trap, until she sighed.

"It wasn't easy," she said, sorrow in her voice. We had barely escaped alive and free. Tylor was caught, track implanted at first, but through pain and suffering, Stan and Roy got it out of him, setting it aflame. We knew then that we were safe at the time. I got the other's over here on my dragon, and we seeked shelter."
"So you all were safe," I said.

"Yes, but where's Dash?" June asked.

I froze. I had finally got her out of my mind. Tears formed in my eyes.

"I understand, let's not think about the past," I said. "She's tough."
I nodded, holding back cries of sorrow. She continued walking as I saw a village. It seemed abandoned. I noticed the others carrying Lloyd, Ali, Zane and KYle in front of us into one small house. I followed and saw Zane slowly waking up. Lloyd's eyes were slightly open, but he moaned and groan in pain. What's wrong with him?

June walked over to him, placing a hand on his forehead. She gasped, running out leaving me stunned.

"Bring him with me," June called from out the door.

Tylor lifted Lloyd up, running after her. I followed, leaving the others behind. June lead us into a room filled with vials and potions of all sorts. I watched her grab two bowls and a bottle filled with a black and purple substance. Lloyd lay on ground, I kneeled beside him.

"Where am I?" he muttered.

"You're OK," I told him.

He turned and saw me, his face expressionless. I saw in his eyes he was weak, tired and unable to use his powers. His eyes turned to June as she poured the substance into the bowls. Lloyd panicked, trying to get away.

"Keep that away from me!" he cried.

"Lloyd, it's not going to hurt you," June assured him. "I used this same method to heal Kai and he was just fine afterwards."
Lloyd huffed and puffed. I placed a hand on his shoulder and he looked at me.

"June is gifted," I told him. "You can trust her. At this point, Ninjago depends on you getting better, and only she can do that."
Lloyd nodded. He glanced worriedly at June as she moved the substance onto Lloyd and covered all but his head in it. He breathed calmly, or at least as calmly as he could.

"Zack, stay here and keep him calm," June told me. "I have to check on the others. I'll have Nicki bring Ali over once she's rested."
I nodded as she and Tylor left. I turned and saw Lloyd, his eyes glazed with fear.

"Lloyd," I started.

"I want it off," he told me. "I can't take this."
"It's going to heal you Lloyd, you need to be at full strength to stop Lily," I told him.

His eyes locked onto mine, and I was fear. He was terrified. He couldn't move with the matter hardened on his body.

"Do you know what it does?" he asked me, worried.

"June told me that when mixed with certain materials, it will absorb things," I told him. "In your case, she's absorbing a chemical that seems to be hurting you."
"But nothing has been put into me," he said.

"Maybe it was in the gel Lily trapped you in," I suggested. "Anyways, it had knocked you out cold. I was clearly hurting you in someway. June, knowing lots, must have know what was in you so she can cure you."
Lloyd nodded, sighing. I hope he will be fine after this. I would hate for the world to lose their beloved green ninja forever.
