"Ninja-Go!"
Lloyd knocked down the skeleton and swiped the keys. He unlocked each cell as quick as he could. "Best brother ever," Alex said, giving her brother a hug. "Don't tell Lucas I said that."
The ninja ran down the hall and around the corner. They slid to a hault, almost running into Zoey. She made a small yelping noise, but stayed calm otherwise. "I'm glad you guys were able to escape," she said. "I... I was coming to get you."
"Zoey, are you all right?" Zane asked.
"Of course," Zoey replied. "Why?"
"No reason," Zane mumbled.
"Zoey how did you escape? I thought you weren't a fighter," Kai questioned.
"I'm not, but being a seer has advantages," Zoey said. "So let's go. Lucas will be waiting outside."
The ninja made it back to the surface world. "You found them!" Jessica exclaimed, falling off the rock she was sitting on. "That's great." She pushed herself up. "You can go. The wolves are hunting."
"Thanks, Jessica," Alex smiled. They started out of the cave but Alex stopped and turned around. "Oh, and maybe we can meet up after this blows over and head to the beach." She turned and continued out.
"I'm not a mermaid, Alex!" Jessica yelled. She groaned and slumped down next to a wolf. "You know I'm not a mermaid right?" The wolf let out a small howl and put its head on its paws. "Yeah, well who asked you?"
"We're home!" Alex chimed as they walked through the door.
"Did you get milk?" Nya joked as she walked out. She saw Lucas and Zoey. "You know, I actually think we're good on milk... Uh..."
"Hello, Nya," Zoey said, walking over to the samurai. "My name is Zoey Julien."
"Hi, uh, how did you..."
"Zoey's a seer," Jay said, walking over and grabbing Nya's hand. "It's less complicated than it sounds."
'Where's Mom, Dad, and Uncle?' Lucas asked Alex telepathically.
'Let's find out,' Alex thought back. She looked to Nya. "Where's Sensei and my parents?" she asked.
"Upstairs," Nya said.
Alex and Lucas started up the steps. Alex paused, walked back down, took Lloyd by the hand, and started back up with her brothers.
"Do you know where my father is?" Zane asked.
"Yeah," Nya said. "He's..."
"Zoey!"
Zoey turned and Dr. Julien ran over to her, giving her a hug. She tensed at first, but eased up and hugged him back. "I missed you," she whispered.
Dr. Julien nodded and pulled back. He turned to the ninja. "I guess I owe an explanation. I built Zoey while I was in the prison tower," he said. "The skeletons took her when they found out."
"So, she's a nindroid too?" Kai asked.
"Nindroid?" Zoey questioned, smiling a little.
"Yeah, you know, like being a ninja and a robot," Jay said.
"Oh, all right," Zoey said. "I suppose that makes sense."
Misako hugged her son, tears rolling down her face. "I'm so glad you're safe," she said.
"I'm glad to be back with my family," Lucas told her.
Alex put an arm around Lloyd as she watched. "Hey, don't think you're being replaced," she whispered.
"What?" Lloyd asked. "I wasn't... Well maybe just..."
Alex smiled. "We just haven't seen Lucas in a long time. Once things get back to nor-" She paused for a moment. "Okay, our version of normal, then it would be like he was always here."
"Yeah, I'm sure you're right," Lloyd mumbled.
Lucas turned to his siblings. "So, Lloyd," he said. "You're the ultimate Spinjitzu master, huh? The green ninja?"
"Oh, well, yeah," Lloyd said.
Lucas crossed his arms and smiled. "That's really cool. I knew it would be a Garmadon kid who became the green ninja, though at first I thought it was me."
"Yeah, and then you got me believing it was me," Alex reminded him. "You got my hopes up for nothing." She smiled warmly at him.
Lucas chuckled. "Yeah... So, am I sharing a room with Lloyd? What happened to the monastery?"
"That's a great question isn't it?" Alex mumbled.
"The monastery burnt down," Sensei Wu said.
Lucas frowned and looked down at the ground. "Really? Wow..."
"We were living on a flying ship," Lloyd said, trying to change the subject. He firgured the monastery was Lucas's only home. "But that blew up."
"Oh! That reminds me," Alex said. "I almost forgot about Tove! We think she's the one who blew up the Bounty, but you are the only one who can tell us for sure."
Lucas's eyes glowed teal. "You mean the girl about to..." The door bell rang. "You should answer that."
Alex ran down stairs and opened the door. "Tove! I didn't expect you here," she said.
"Where's Cole?" Tove asked.
"What?" Alex questioned.
"You know, Cole. The one in the black ninja suit," Tove said.
"I know who Cole is," Alex muttered. "Why do you need to talk to him?"
Lucas, Lloyd, Wu, Misako, and Garmadon walked down the stairs. "What is going on?" Wu demanded.
"What's going on is treason!" Tove shouted. She paused. "Would it even be called treason? You know, what ever!"
"Hey, calm down, Ghost Girl," Alex said. "Tell us what happened."
"Your so-called-teammate is who blew up your ship," Tove said. "Cole tried to kill you."
