A/N: Happy Father's Day! Ok, just so you know, the ninja, and Dareth, is twenty in this. Nya is nineteen and Lloyd is 'almost sixteen', in other words fifteen.

Here is me responding to the reviews from last chapter

Cheesepuff(Guest): Yes, I can see your reviews, in my email. They aren't showing for some reason on .

Nagasha: Yes, they are desperate. Garmadon is usually in the hideout, but likes to come help Dareth from time to time. However, I'm a smidgen confused about what you meant by Kai's attitude, you wouldn't mind explaining some more?

IfOnly42: Here is the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I own Nothing!

Oh, almost forgot! Whenever the location says underground, it means the old abandoned subway stations/tunnels and cave system that is being used has a Headquarter for the rebellion. If it says Rebel HQ, that means the makeshift debriefing room for the leaders to meet in, that happens to be a cave underneath Mr. Borg's industry…

Chapter Two: Training and Imposter-Droids

~Underground, two feet from the dojo~

The electrical lights strung throughout the hideout flickered on and off as Dareth, Garmadon, and P.I.X.A.L. hurried down the dimly light corridors, heading towards the office, where the other three leaders where. They were excitedly talking to each other about Spiked hair, as they have mentally dubbed the stranger. Turning the corner, they crashed right into a fifteen year old boy, with flat, neatly combed snowy white hair, and sharp green eyes with flecks of gold in them. His outfit was not too different from Spiked hair's outfit. He was wearing faded blue jeans, a hooded green sweater, and green tennis shoes. The back of his sweater had a large gold dragon stitched into it.

"Sorry Lloyd didn't see you there." Dareth scrambled to his feet.

"It's fine Dareth." Lloyd neatly sprung up from where he had fell, reaching to help Garmadon up.

"Where are you going in such a hurry son?" Garmadon looked the boy over, a small sparkle of pride gleaming in his eyes.

"I was going to go hang out with my friends. Oh! Speaking of which, Dad, I think…" Lloyd suddenly began bouncing on the balls of his feet in a poor attempt to keep his excitement in.

"Lloyd, I do not want to hear the end of that sentence. I have already told you a thousand times, no. We don't need a bunch of kids running around in here. You are enough. I'm sorry; your mysterious friends can't join the rebellion." Garmadon held his hands up to stop Lloyd in his tracks.

"Come on, we need to go tell everyone about Spiked hair!" Dareth nudged Garmadon, desperate to get going.

"Wait, who's Spiked hair?" Lloyd asked, only for the two adults and robot to leave without waiting. "Fine, I'll go be with my friends. They probably know who Spiked hair is anyway!" Lloyd called after their retreating backs.

Lloyd quickly rushed through the earthly halls to one of the hidden trap door entrances. Pushing it open, he found himself in an alleyway two blocks from Dareth's dojo. Snapping it shut behind him, it matched the rest of the alleyway, covered in icky dirt and dust, with poorly done graffiti on it. Lloyd casually walked into the street, and quickly started walking down a random direction.

Spiked hair suddenly appears and begins to follow him. They went down several streets, in an almost zigzag pattern, until they were suddenly back where they started.

"Hey kid. I reckon your pops was at the dojo." Spiked hair casually brought up.

"So, I was right. Dad did meet you, Kai." Lloyd glanced briefly at his old friend.

"Yea, some police bots and imposter-droids tried to arrest him. Don't worry; I know how much you love him, so…" Kai paused briefly midsentence.

"You stepped up and kept him safe. Thanks, last thing the Overlord needs is for the Green Ninja to go on a rampage, just cause he arrested Dad." Lloyd sinceriously thanked Kai, right before he made the slight joke about the legendary green ninja.

"Come on, we parked right outside the North side of the town this time." Kai rolled his eyes as he suddenly started picking up some speed.

"Ok. Last one there is an imposter-droid!" Lloyd broke out at a run, quickly leaving Kai behind.

A second later Kai passed him easily. No one noticed that their feet made no noise upon hitting the pavement.

~Rebel HQ, around the time Lloyd is walking around aimlessly~

"We have great news!" Dareth barged into the room, shortly followed by an annoyed Garmadon and P.I.X.A.L.

The three people in the room stared right at him. Then, one of the men, one with a long white beard and mustache, and was wearing a straw hat glanced over at Garmadon for confirmation over what he was saying.

"Dareth, the fact you have obviously founded someone to hire should not mean you can barge in here." Another man, this one stuck in a wheelchair, his graying black hair perfectly managed, calmly tried to draw Dareth's attention to the rules. Presuming that he was excited to finally have an assistant to help in the dojo.

"Actually, we believe we have found someone new to recruit." Garmadon moved to his spot at the leader's table.

"Really? Who might that be brother?" Straw hat guy peeked up with excitement, upon hearing such welcoming news.

"Uh, hold on Wu, Dareth? Did you catch a name before he left?" Garmadon glanced at his companion.

Everyone in the room face-palmed when Dareth shook his head no.

"Love, we can't chase down people we don't know." The last person in the room, an elderly lady dressed for a dig, with her long graying hair braided down her back.

"I know Misako. But maybe we can make an exception for him. Besides, Dareth is going to hire him!" Garmadon grasped her hands tightly in his.

"Should not his name be on his resume?" P.I.X.A.L. asked.

"You're right! Hold on I have it here somewhere…" Dareth started to through his pockets, "Ah ha! Here it is! Let's see here…says his name is Kai Smith. High school graduate." Dareth read the information aloud.

"Does it have number on it that we can use to call him?" Wheelchair guy asked.

"Yea, do you want me to call him Mr. Borg?"

~Destiny Bounty~

A guy with neatly combed light brown hair and electric blue eyes swung his nunchucks at Lloyd's face. He was wearing a blue hooded sweater, worn out jeans, and blue sneakers. Kai was standing off to the side, watching, with two others. The one on his left had black hair, dark brown eyes, and was muscular. He was wearing a black hooded sweater, jeans, and black tennis shoes. The one on his right had stiff snow white hair, and icy blue eyes. His outfit consisted of a white hooded sweater, tattered jeans, and white sneakers. A yelp escaped Lloyd has he quickly dodged the attack.

"Come on Lloyd! You have got to concentrate!" Nunchucks guy groaned loudly.

"Come on Jay! I was I supposed to know you were starting now?! I just got here!" Lloyd whined has he went into his defensive.

"Your enemies will NEVER give you a warning before hand. You must stay alert!" the guy with the white sweater responded.

"Great. Training apparently includes life lessons now. Thank you Zane!" Lloyd's voice dripped with sarcasm.

"You're welcome." Zane did not pick up the sarcasm.

Silence fell as the fight continued. Slowly, but surely, Jay started to overpower Lloyd. Until, finally, Jay knocked Lloyd to the ground.

"That could have gone better. If Jay was the Overlord, you would be dead right now." Black sweater guy stated, clearly displeased that Lloyd didn't win.

"Lighten up Cole. He's not gonna go anywhere near the Overlord, until he is ready to face him." Kai rolled his eyes at their friend.

"Where's Nya? I thought she was going to teach me how to use her sleeping gas grenades." Lloyd pulled himself back up.

"Later. She has to work right now." Cole walked forward, ignoring the pout on Jay's face upon hearing their other friend was not going to be there, "Right now we get to work on the most important part of training…"

Groans immediately escaped the others.

"Cole, it is not important." Kai growled, his eyes flashing in annoyance.

"Tap dancing!" Cole was oblivious to all of the groaning.

Lloyd stared at his friend hard for ten seconds, "There's a tap dancing competition coming up and you entered us into it, didn't you?"

"Nope! There's a tap dancing competition coming up, and I entered us into it!" Cole happily declared.

"According to my databanks, we have specifically asked you to not do that, Cole." Zane crossed his arms, annoyance flashing across his face.

"Aww, Come on guys, this is the only time I've done this!" Cole protested.

"What about that time when Lou needed you to take his place?" Kai arched his eyebrow.

"Or the time when…" Jay started to remind Cole another time he forced them into a dance/singing competition.

"Ok, Ok! I get it! This is the last time, I promise!" Cole threw his hands up in surrender.

"That is what you said the last twenty times." Zane face-palmed.

A/N: So, who likes Lloyd's friends? Poor Cole! His friends don't appreciate dance like he does…
