The tunnel led to a secret room where Scott got out, followed by Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji, who were surprised to see many players, who look like Jay with different ninja suits. Some were talking about upgrades to their abilities, showing off their health boards, or exercising. Lloyd, Cole, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji move on, amazed, while Kai stayed where he was. "I... I can't believe this." He said to himself before moving to catch up with the others. "Are we in a nightmare?"
"All of these players look like Jay." Lloyd said.
"But which one is the real one?" Nya asked.
"Well, we can't ask what Jay likes to sleep with, because everyone here will know it's Mister Cuddlywump, of course." Gewuji replied.
"And we don't want to say anything about what Back-Chain did to him." Geoff said. "Freak out the one that isn't Jay."
"Not everyone knows I'm his best friend." Cole replied. "That might help."
The FS Jay player comes onto a stage to face the other Jay avatar players. "Attention, League of Jay." He called out, but no one turns to him. Annoyed, he touched his shoulder to open his display and swipes to a volume option and turns it up high. "Attention, League of Jay!" Everyone turns toward the stage. "It is time for the arrival of our hero, our inspiration, the reason for our very existence..." He holds his hands out to the side while moving away, and purple stage lights come on. "Superstar Rockin' Jay himself!"
A secret doorway behind him opens up, and digital steam emerges from it before a Jay with white skin, blue face paint, white hair and orange eyes, wearing blue suit with stars all over, glowing yellow headband and light blue futuristic boots, rises, holding an electric guitar as the platform he is on rises up while spinning, and he strums the guitar before stopping as the platform stops for him to face the crowd. Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji were all speechless by the entrance of Superstar Rockin' Jay as all the other Jay avatar players applaud before he jumps off the platform, holds his arms out wide while handing the FS Jay player his guitar, and moves forward, lightly laughing, until he notices the six Ninja and gasps. "Guys?" He asked, in Jay's voice. It was the real Jay. "Is that really you?" He jumps off the stage approach them. "Wow!" He hugs Cole and Nya before backing away. "I've been waiting for you. Is this place awesome, or what?" He spins to have his back face them and holds his arms out wide. With his back still turned, Kai moved forward and slaps Jay at the back of his head. "Ow!" He turns back to them while rubbing the back of his head, and Nya glared at her brother for hitting her husband. "What was that for?"
"You and your stupid video game addiction is what has got us stuck in this situation." He said.
"What do you mean?"
"See all these people, Jay?" Geoff asked. "They're real people. All stuck in Prime Empire, like us, because of you."
"Uh, how many?"
"Over 800, including us and Mantis." Lloyd said.
"Speaking of which, have you seen him?" Gewuji asked.
"Nope." Jay replied. "I would've heard if he was around. And I don't think he would be among us, dressed like me."
"Well, now that we have found you, we need to get everyone out of here." Lloyd said.
"How?"
"By confronting Milton Dyer." Nya said.
"Also known as Unagami." Kai said.
"Milton Dyer is Unagami?" Jay asked, completely surprised.
"Yeah, and we plan on going after him." Cole replied.
"I've been planning it the whole time, but then I got a few fans here, who wanted to be like me."
"These fans?" Kai asked, looking around the place. "They're just a bunch of nutjobs!"
Jay then felt offended by the comment. "Hey, they're not nutjobs."
"Guys, can we concentrate on finding Unagami?" Nya asked, getting between them.
"Well, first things first, we need to find the three Key-Tanas."
"Key-Tanas?" Lloyd asked, confused.
"They're keys to confronting the final boss, otherwise known as Unagami."
"Then let's get going." Cole said.
They prepare to leave, but Jay quickly came in front of them. "Uh, first things first. You need proper attire."
"What do you mean?" Gewuji asked.
"We need to be like players if we're in a game."
"Jay, we have no time for that." Nya said.
"Yeah, we hardly have any credits and we're weak against those soldier guys." Cole said.
"The Red Visors?" Jay asked.
"You know what they are?" Geoff asked.
"They were after me, too. It was how I met Scott. Which is why I kept my appearance in town discreet."
"That still doesn't change our situation." Geoff replied.
"I got you all covered." Jay touches his left shoulder to open his menu display to show that he has 5,250 credits.
"That is a lot of credits." Cole said.
"I'll give you all 750 each to make it even numbers between all of us." They all touch their chests to show their menu displays and move to their credit scores before Jay's started to deduct while the others' increased until they all reached 750. "There we go. Now, let's get you some proper suits." Jay started to head for the entrance before stopping and turned back to them. "Oh, I completely forgot! Where are Blake and Zane?"
"Zane had to stay behind as he wouldn't be able to survive entering Prime Empire." Nya said. "And Unagami broke out The Mechanic and all the prisoners from Kryptarium Prison, they tried to stop us and Blake ended up staying behind to hold them off."
"At the moment, they're going to look for Dyer in the real world with P.I.X.A.L." Geoff said.
"Well, they're missing out." Jay replied as he resumed walking to the tunnel entrance.
"Imbecile." Kai muttered as they follow him.
They came across Scott, who was by the tunnel. "Any sign of Red Visors, Scott?"
"Clear so far." He said. "Going out to show the newbies around?"
"Actually, we're gonna start getting the Key-Tanas."
"Well be careful. Your red friend only has one life left."
"What?"
"Kai thought he had invincibility." Gewuji said.
"Such a retard." Geoff muttered.
"And he ended up costing Geoff a life when the argument they had led to Scott shooting him." Nya said.
"This is why Kai should learn how to play video games more." Jay replied as they soon go through the tunnel and into the garage.
Scott presses a button to briefly open the garage door and they go through it.
"Speaking of lives, how many do you have left?" Cole asked.
"Still got all four."
"That makes me, Lloyd, Nya and Gewuji the same as you."
While making their way to the market, Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji curiously decided to use most of their credits to purchase some abilities like strength, agility, endurance, durability or any abilities, until they had a reasonable amount of credits left. They soon made their way to the market, where various players were purchasing weapons, avatars or items from many stalls. "We actually first came here." Lloyd said. "Before the Red Visors came after us."
"That reminds me. If we stay too long, they'll find us." Jay replied. "So, be quick in buying your suits." He then points at a nearby vendor. "Here we go." They head toward the stall where Jay soon brought Gewuji forward.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"What can I do for you?" The stall owner asked.
"So I can show everyone how it works." Jay replied to Gewuji's question while opening his display. "I'll pay for this one." He turns to the stall where he points out to something, and owner goes to grab it as his credit count deducts to 500. He then had Gewuji open her display menu before transferring what Jay had purchased to her. He then closed his display menu as Gewuji curiously touched the item he purchased for her before soon glowing.
Her menu soon closed as Gewuji soon stopped glowing, revealing herself, dressed like a kabuki with a teal coloured kimono. "What the hell?" She asked. "Is this supposed to be funny?"
Jay nervously chuckled as Gewuji glared at him. "Now, that is so cool." Cole said. "We should get avatars as well."
"We don't have time to be wasting credits on these types of avatars." Nya replied.
"Let's go for ones that are more ninja appropriate." Lloyd said, hoping to defuse the situation.
Cole then pouted. "Okay." He replied.
Jay backs away for the others to purchase their avatars that looked like ninja suits with their respective colours, which they all soon change into, and look at each other to admire them. "Now, your turn, Jay."
"Oh, I already got mine, but I'm gonna keep this one on a bit longer." Jay said before turning to Gewuji, who hadn't touched her display yet. "Gewuji?"
She scoffs in annoyance. "Fine, I'll keep this one a little longer." She said.
"Now, where do we get weapons?" Geoff asked.
"Oh, just right here." Jay replied, guiding them to another stall where there were many weapons.
They approach the stall where they check out the various weapons available at reasonable credit prices. "Let's see." Lloyd said as he looked at what is available before pointing at a sword. The owner takes the sword off the rack before it disappears and reappears in Lloyd's hand.
He backed away for the others to purchase their weapons while Kai purchased a sword for himself, the others were disappointed that their weapon of choice was not on display, so Cole purchased a scythe, Nya purchased a kama, Geoff purchased a naginata and Gewuji purchased a cinquedea. "Okay, now that we are armed, let's start looking for those key things." Kai said.
"Key-Tana." Jay replied, reminding him.
"Whatever."
"Where do we go for the first one, Jay?" Nya asked.
"It's just a few streets ahead. It's in a place called Terra Karana. Can't miss it."
"There they are!" Someone called out, and they all turn to see some soldiers marching toward them.
"Oh, no, the Red Visors!" Jay immediately held out his hands to summon his own weapon, which is a kusarigama before poising as the others do so themselves, and players start running away and stalls were immediately shut down.
Lloyd, Kai, Cole, Nya, Geoff and Gewuji summon their weapons and poise as their hoods suddenly appear on them, briefly surprising them, but get back to the matter at hand. "Ninjago!" They all yelled before splitting up.
Geoff somersaults and lands between three Red Visor and spins his new naginata while crouching down before moving his naginata back, striking the Red Visor on his right, moves it forward to stab the Red Visor in front of him and raises his left leg to kick the last Red Visor on his left. "This is epic." He said to himself as all three Red Visors disappear upon being struck. Jay spins his kusarigama to block or deflect two Red Visors' blaster fire before they briefly stop and he charges at them before spinning to strike them all down, and they disappear upon impact.
Nya swings her kama to strike a Red Visor down as another comes at her from behind, she turned around to strike it, resulting in it disappearing before she quickly raises it to block another Red Visor's blaster fire before quickly moving to the side to avoid another as it hits the Red Visor that Kai was holding it off, making it disappear, and he turns to her. "Thanks, sis!" He called out, thinking she was helping him.
"Uh, no problem." She replied, not wanting to tell him the truth.
Cole spins his scythe backwards to jab a Red Visor in its chest before grabbing it and throws it at four more, knocking them all down like bowling pins and they disappear. Lloyd jumps and barrel rolls to avoid a Red Visor as it tried to punch him before he grabs it, throws it down, summons his sword, and strikes it down, causing it to disappear. "I feel like myself again." He said.
"It's because we bought all those upgrades before." Gewuji replied as she was stomping on a Red Visor before jumping to land on one foot and started to spin while holding out her left foot like a ballerina and having her cinquedea out wide, either kicking or striking any Red Visor advancing on her. She soon stopped, not noticing that another Red Visor was prepared to come at her. She turned around to notice it, only for it to end up being hit from behind and disappears. She looked to the left to see the cloaked figure around a corner, blaster held out. The figure then lowered their blaster and takes off as Gewuji immediately runs after them. "Hey, wait a minute!"
The others had just taken down the rest of the Red Visors when they notice Gewuji taking off. "Gewuji?"
She stops to see the figure double jumping onto a rooftop before turning to face Gewuji. "Who are you?!"
The figure quickly took off as the other came up behind Gewuji. "What's up with you?" Cole asked.
"It's the second time he saved my life."
"Who?" Geoff asked.
"The guy in the cloak. He was there the first time we entered Prime Empire."
"But, Gewuji, there's no one there."
"Actually, I believe you." Jay said.
They all turn to him, confused. "Really?" Gewuji asked.
"You said it was a guy in a cloak that saved you?"
"Yes."
"I heard from some of my fans that he saved them from Red Visors as well. No one knows who he really is because of the cloak he wears and kept his hood up. Only thing about him was that he has green skin. They're calling him 'Cloaked Character.' No one knows if he's a player or an NPC. Even the Red Visors are trying to hunt him down. They even put up a bounty on his head." He points to a nearby screen showing Cloaked Character with a reward of 95,000 credits before it soon increased to 100,000.
"100,000 credits for his capture?" Kai asked.
"That'd be like getting infinite abilities." Cole replied.
"No one is getting him." Gewuji said. "He saved me, and for that, I am thankful. So, I refuse to hunt him down."
"Gewuji's right." Lloyd replied. "Whoever this Cloaked Character is, we have to find a way to convince him to be on our side for when we face Unagami. For now, let's get going and find that first keyblade thing. Lead the way, Jay."
"On it, Lloyd." Jay said as he soon took off and the others follow him. "And it's Key-Tana." On the rooftops, Cloaked Character watches them head down the street before he moves ahead and double jumps to another rooftop.
The five Ninja move along back alleyways to avoid any Red Visors they spot, until they reach a green arcade cabinet. "So, where is this Terra Karana?" Cole asked.
Jay points at the cabinet. "Right here."
"An arcade cabinet?" Nya asked.
"Jay, don't you remember the last time you entered one of these?" Geoff asked, unamused.
"Of course." Jay replied. "But, it is the way to Terra Karana." He presses a button on the cabinet, and it opens up. "Well, let's get going." He soon heads inside it before the others look at each other, and head inside to follow him.
"Jay, I have to tell you something about those gamers in the League of Jay." Kai said as they head in.
"Oh, here we go." Geoff sarcastically muttered to himself.
"I'm serious."
(A/N: Did any of you know that Jay got Gewuji the kabuki avatar as a joke? She might not have wanted it, due to her past as a kabuki to a certain Anacondrai lover. And Cloaked Character has come to the rescue again, again, who is it?)
