Chapter 12: Lloyd's POV

I opened my eyes and saw where I was. A thick mist surrounded me along with a huge cluster of trees. Just a few feet away lay the others, scattered out. I felt something warm around my waist and looked down to see Marceline.

…

…

…

Right…We had been holding each other before the crash. Where was the ship anyway? I pushed my twin sister off of me and stood. The ship was a complete wreck; it had been split in two like how The Devourer bit it in half.

"Fuck…" I mumbled. Again, we had lost our home.

I noticed Jayleene began to wake up. "I'm alive…?" she examined herself before laughing like a maniac. "I'M ALIVE! I'M FUCKING ALIVE!"

WACK!

I saw Marceline break our uncle's staff over her head. Jayleene collapsed onto the ground and I stared at her. "She was annoying." She shrugged.

Zane and Angel started to wake up, but noticed Dexter and Justice were nowhere around. "Zane…" a dark purple glow surrounded Angel. "Where are our children?"

"Angelina, calm down-"

"WHERE ARE MY BABIES?!" she screamed her head off. She jumped up and pulled out her two razor sharp, medal fans. "IF I DON'T SEE MY KIDS, SOMEONE'S GONNA' DIE!"

"MOMMY! DADDY!" Justice's voice could be heard from the distance.

"Daddy and me are coming, baby!" Angel ran off and Zane ran after her. Marceline and I both shrugged and followed as well.

Justice's POV

"Dexter I'm scared…Where are mommy and daddy?" I asked, holding my brother's hand while I cried. "It's okay…Come here…" Dexter opened my chest door and checked for any malfunction in my system. "You're fine, what about me?"

I opened my brother's chest door and examined his system. There was nothing wrong except for the piece of bark stuck through his power switch. "There a stick going through your power switch." I said.

"Well, what do we do? Daddy never told me what to do if something like this happened."

"I-I think…W-we should pull it out…"

"W-well do it. Quickly, so it won't hurt…"

I grabbed onto the branch and swiftly pulled it out of Dexter's system. When it was out, he electrocuted and his dark purple eyes turned pitch black. He fell over, onto the ground and I shook him. "Dexter…?" he turned pale and I noticed he went entirely limp. "Dexter!" I started to cry again. "MOMMY! DADDY!"

Suddenly someone moved through the bushes and I jumped up. I wasn't a good fighter like daddy or mommy, but I could use my mind like daddy taught me. I could see right through the boy who floated out of the bushes, he seemed at least fourteen like my Auntie June. "Oh, hi little girl," He flew over to me.

"Leave me alone, my daddy taught me how to fight with my mind!" I put my two fingers against the left side of my head and closed my eyes. I used my mental powers to fight him off but I couldn't. He was a spirit…How could you fight someone that was already dead? I couldn't touch him, but he could touch me.

The spirit boy picked me up and flew away with me. "NO! DADDY! MOMMY! HELP ME!" I screamed.

Cole's POV

I woke up, groaning and rubbing my head.

"Fuck…" I mumbled, getting to my feet.

"Unh…Cole…?" April woke up next to me. She stood and rubbed her head.

"You okay?" I hugged her, making sure she was alright.

"Uh huh, you?"

"I'm fine…"

We looked all around us and saw only Jay, Kai, Jayleene, Nya and Sensei Wu. "Where are the others?" she asked, hugging me tighter. "Didn't Marceline say this place was dangerous?"

"I-It's okay…You know Marceline loves to mess around. S-she was probably messing with us…" I tried my best to keep my girlfriend sane.

"Boo." A voice said simply, making us both scream. We whipped around and saw a see through woman floating in front of us. She put out her hand and touched April's forehead, suddenly the aqua ninja fell unconscious. "Holy shit, April!" I knelt down beside her.

The spirit woman touched my back and I gasped. A huge cold feeling was sent down my spine and when she grabbed my shoulder…I became paralyzed. She picked up both my body and April's own before flying away with us.

Jayleene's POV

"I can't believe that bitch knocked me out." I mumbled, getting to my feet. I looked around and only saw Kai, Jay, Nya and Sensei Wu. Where the hell were the others? "Kai, wake up…" I shook my husband.

His chocolate eyes opened slowly and he sat up. "Damn it I have a headache...You okay, babe?" he stood and hugged me.

I nodded. "I'm okay…" He put his hand on my stomach and I quickly slapped it away, blushing. "Quit it, you're making it look like I'm pregnant or something…" I rubbed the back of my neck.

"You're not so what's the big deal?" I looked away and he stared at me. His eyes widened. "Jayleene are you…?"

I laughed nervously. "Ha…Surprise?"

Kai pushed his spikes out of his eyes and took a deep breath. "Whoa…Holy shit…Well…When the hell did this happen?!"

"You mean when I found out or when you knocked me up?" I folded my arms.

"Oh my God…I can't have a kid! I'm a ninja, not a dad!"

"Zane and Angel have kids." I said weakly.

"Well we're not Zane and Angel, are we?!" he yelled at me.

"Why are you yelling at me?"

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT KIDS!" he snapped. I felt my eyes blur with tears. "J-Jayleene, I didn't mean that…" he reached out to put his hand on my shoulder, but I backed away. I bolted. "Jayleene wait!" he yelled after me. "This place is dangerous! You have to stay close!"

I ran until Kai's voice faded, then I stopped, tired out. I put my hand over my stomach and took deep breaths. Okay…Running was a lot harder when pregnant. I slid my back down a tree and hugged my stomach. "Your daddy may not want you, but I do…" I whispered to the boy or girl inside me.

I thought I felt a kick, but no, it was too early in the pregnancy for kicking. "Hm, Garmadon did the same thing to me when he found I was pregnant with Marceline and Lloyd." A voice said.

I whipped my head around and saw a woman identical to Lloyd and Marceline. She wasn't a spirit; she was very much alive… "Don't worry; your husband will come around. Most men are afraid of having children but once you get a baby in their arms, they melt. I'm Liana, Garmadon's ex-wife." But her smile disappeared. "I understand you dated him for a while."

My eyes widened. Shit. "No, no, no…We weren't dating, besides I used Time Traveler's tea to turn back time so technically it never happened."

"Well, either way I warned my daughter about coming here so I'm sorry, but I have to do this." She grabbed my shoulder tightly and the next thing I knew, I passed out.

Kai's POV

"Jayleene!" I called out again. There was no answer…She had ran off.

I knew I must've hurt her feelings badly, I was just shocked…And scared. I was afraid that I'd be a bad dad or that my kid would turn out like me with a horrible, impatient attitude. "You should work on how you talk to your wife, Kai."

No way…I hadn't heard that voice since I was sixteen. "Dad?" I turned around. It was my dad, but he was floating and I was able to see through him. "It is you…"

"Yup', son it's me. Now, you shouldn't have reacted the way you did." He flew over to me and touched my shoulders. "You know I was scared as hell when your mother told me she was pregnant?"

"Y-you were?" I raised a brow.

"I was. But once I held you for the first time, I wasn't so afraid anymore, I was so happy that I asked for another child; Nya."

I snorted. "Seriously?"

"Yes, seriously…Now…Later go and apologize to your wife but as of right now…" his grip tightened on my shoulder and I blacked out.

Jay's POV

Ow…Talk about fucking migraine. I groaned and rubbed my head as I got to my feet. Nya lay on the ground next to me. Where were the others? All I saw was Sensei Wu lying unconscious. "Guys?" I called out. There was no answer.

Didn't Marceline say this place was super dangerous? If she did, I'm screwed.

Just as I was about to wake Nya up, something wrapped around my ankle and tugged harshly. I fell onto my stomach and something sat on my back. "Oh, you're a cute blue jay…" a girl's voice cooed.

"What the…?" I was flipped onto my back and a girl identical to Nya was smirking down at me; except I could see through her and she had no legs, just a ghost's tail. "You're cute, but sorry, I kinda' have to do this." She pulled back her fist and it landed a blow right on the bridge of my nose. There was no pain and I produced no sound, all I did was black out.

Nya's POV

"Unh…?" I groaned as my eyes opened. I got to my feet weakly and saw everyone was gone but Sensei Wu. Okay, time to panic, where was everybody? I ran over to Sensei and shook him in fear. "Sensei, wake up."

The old man's eyes opened slowly. "Eh…? Oh, hello Nya." He said calmly, and then he looked down. "Where is my tea?" his eyes widened.

We were alone in the forest with the others gone and the first thing he asks about is his tea…Seriously, something wasn't right up there in his ninety year old brain. "The others are gone." I said, folding my arms. He then looked around, only just noticing that his students were gone. "Oh, of course…Where are they?"

"I was kinda' hoping you knew,"

"Oh, oh! I know where the ninja are!" a spirit boy floated into view. "They're dead."

My eyes widened. "A-all of them are dead…?" I felt like passing out.

He scoffed. "It was a joke." Then he pulled out a tea pot and a cup. He took a sip. "Huh, that's pretty good." He mixed it around.

Sensei's eyes twitched. "GIVE ME MY TEA!" he screeched like he was young again. "NINJAGO!" he spun in a gold tornado, but it had no effect on the spirit boy. "Seriously Wu, you should know that spirits can't be touched by spinjitzu." The boy rolled his eyes. "Anyway, let's just get this over with." He approached me so quickly that I couldn't stop him. He pinched my neck and I fell to the floor as my eyes drifted shut.

Sensei Wu's POV (For the first time!)

I attempted to snatch my cup of tea from the young spirit but he hardly moved; my attacks just went through him. "You done?" he raised a brow when I ran out of energy.

"Give…Me my…Tea…" I panted.

He grabbed my shoulder roughly and I fell unconscious.

Lloyd's POV

Zane, Angel, Marceline and I all found Dexter lying on the floor with his chest door open. His eyes were shut and his face was blank and pale. "Dexter…?" Angel shook him.

Zane examined the insides of his son. "Something punctured his power switch…" the nindroid looked ready to cry. "It was pulled out so…So…" he stopped when a tear fell down his cheek. "He's shut down permanently…"

Angel's chest sucked in and out as she started to cry. Marceline's vision shot to the ground and I cried over my young nephew. Zane helped Angel pick up the little boy's body. We all walked back to the opening of the forest where the others were to find everyone gone. "OH C'MON! NOW WE GOTTA' FIND EVERYONE!" Marceline stomped her foot.

There was a huge gust of wind and rain started to pour again. "No…" Marceline mumbled. She then turned to us. "Go, go, GO! RUN!"

"What's happening?!" I shouted.

"The spirits are-" she was cut off by several hundred spirits flying out and flying above our heads. "I said GO!" she urged us.

Marceline's POV

It was happening…I didn't know why…It happened only once before, but I thought it was all over back then. Maybe I didn't finish the spell properly. I ushered everyone away. "Go hide somewhere safe."

"Tell me what's happening!" Lloyd yelled.

"Marceline is this-"

"Don't mention its name that only gives it power." I cut Zane off. I looked up at the spirits flying above. "You guys go, I'll deal with this."

Zane grabbed Angel who was holding Dexter in her arms and they ran. Lloyd stood next to me. "I said go. Now, before they sense the presence of both of us."

"What?"

"They can't see us; they can only sense our presence." I explained. "Now go!"

Surprisingly, my brother gave me a quick, warm hug. I hugged back. "Careful, man," he let go.

I nodded. "Yeah, I see you later…" he began to run off. "Hopefully…" I finished. I looked up at the spirits, below my mom (who was the only human besides me) walked towards me. "I warned you in your dreams." She growled.

I pulled out two Sais. "You know I don't listen mom…Now…Let's do this. NINJAGO!" I cried, spinning towards her.

She easily stepped out of the way, smirking. "I trained you to fight better than that." She then revealed someone being hung by their arms by a tree.

I gasped as my eyes widened. Tony had his eyes closed and his entire body was limp and pale. "Marceline…" he looked up slightly with almost dead eyes.

"Hold on, Tony, I'll-" a foot slammed into my stomach, cutting me off. I fell back and dropped my weapons because of the powerful blow. "Mom…" I groaned. "The spell is-" another blow to my abdomen was sent. This time I coughed up a small amount of blood. I had to fix this; something must've gone wrong if the spell came back. Something…But what?
