(A/N: This one-shot is an alternate in Chapter 8 of March of the Oni that I changed before PrincePacman47 suggested I redid these. And to be honest, I never heard opinions on these one-shots. Sorry to be a pain)


On the deck, the mech crash lands, causing Lloyd and Oni to fall out before the mech bounced and rolled a little before stopping, causing them all to groan. Kai, Jay, Zane, Nya, Geoff, Maggie and Blake quickly came over to them as Kai, Jay, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji head over to Lloyd while Zane and Blake went over to P.I.X.A.L. "P.I.X.A.L.!" Zane yelled, coming up to his girlfriend before Blake immediately touched a button on the mech's controls, opening the hatch. "Are you okay?"

"I am...unhurt." Blake slowly helped his sister out as Zane came up next to them before allowing the two relatives to hug before Blake backed away for P.I.X.A.L. to hold hands with Zane.

"Lloyd?" Jay asked him as Kai and Maggie help him up.

"Are you okay?" Geoff asked.

Lloyd breathed heavily a little. "Yeah." He replied. "Yeah, I think so."

Oni breathed heavily as he got up. "So am I." He said. "Nobody has to worry about me." He started to dust himself off as everyone looked at him.

Lloyd then turned to look at Kai, Jay, Nya, Geoff and Maggie before noticing something. "What? What is it?" They couldn't reply as Lloyd noticed Nya's face. "Where did you get that bruise?" He looks around as Zane, Blake and P.I.X.A.L. join them. "Where's Cole? Where's Gewuji?" They couldn't find themselves to answer. "Where are they? Where's my girlfriend?" He immediately came up to Kai and grabbed hold of him. "Somebody say something. Where the hell are Cole and Gewuji? Please explain."

Blake places a hand on Lloyd's shoulder, causing him to turn to him as he frowned. "They-" He stuttered a bit. "They're gone."

"What do you mean, 'gone'?"

"Lloyd, they fell..." Maggie said. "...into the cloud."

"I-" Nya tried to speak. "I'm so sorry." Lloyd looked down, shocked at hearing the news of Cole and Gewuji's demise.

"They're-" He struggled to speak. "They're really...gone?" Oni just glared at them.

"It was my fault! I pulled the thrust lever the wrong way, and..." She started to sob. "Gewuji lost her grip on her ladder, and Cole, he..."

"It wasn't your fault." Jay said to his wife, comforting him. "It was an accident!"

"But, I killed two of our own! Geoff was right. I am a killer, and I deserved to be slapped."

"It could have happened to anyone." Kai said to his sister.

"Okay, let's get going." Oni remorselessly told them, which shocked them all.

Lloyd immediately turned to face his father. "Do you mind?" He asked.

"Yes, I do. We are wasting valuable time. All that matters now is this." He shows them the Golden Armour.

"The Golden Armour?" Kai asked.

"'Golden Armour'?" Maggie asked him.

"Long story." Blake replied to her before turning back to Oni. "What about the Realm Crystal?"

Oni sighs. "It didn't work." He said. "But this will. They fear it."

"Cole was our friend." Lloyd simply told his father. "Gewuji was my girlfriend. They were more than friends! They were family! But you don't understand that, do you?" He nudges him, causing Oni to become angry. "Oh, what's the point? You're never gonna get it. Because you don't care about anyone but yourself!"

Oni then sighed. "Every moment you delay risks our survival."

"THERE'S MORE TO LIFE THAN SURVIVING!" As he said it, Lloyd punches his father in the face, knocking him down before letting out a giant yell, and stormed off.

As they all watch Lloyd leave, Oni stood up and turned to the others while rubbing his bruised cheek. "How the hell do you reason with that?" He then turned to Zane. "You, Nindroid, if anyone of you are capable of logical thought, it is you. Tell them."

Zane just glared at Oni. "I'm happy to say, you are mistaken." He coldly told him. "At this moment, even I am incapable of logical thought." He soon walked away before P.I.X.A.L. started to follow him as Blake did so as well.

"You cold bastard." Geoff said. "You were there for my sister when I wasn't. Too bad she isn't here for you." He immediately turned away to take off, upset about his sister before Maggie tries to follow him, but he was too far as the others also walk away, leaving Oni alone on the deck, shocked and angered.
