After the explanation, Kani took a moment to process this new information.

Then she said, "Well, this situation is thicker than water if Silva is involved. I must speak with my husband about it."

Kani began to walk off, but then she stopped and turned to the others and said, "Oh, yes, Wu, Misako, Garmadon, Dr. Julien, if you would please follow me to help explain this situation to my husband. As for the rest of you, you can take the day off of course, explore the city and such."

The ninja turned to Sensei Wu for approval, and received a nod, as Sensei Wu and the others followed Kani to the outer part of the palace where the King was overlooking the whole land.

After they left, the ninja were relieved to have the rest of the day off.

"Oh man this is awesome! We get the rest of the day off," Jay said, as he raised his hands up in the air.

"Well don't get too excited. Who knows what Silva is up to next," Kai said.

Flare placed her hand on Kai's shoulder and said, "I don't think Silva will be able to find her way up here through the fog. It's perfectly safe here man. That's why my mom said we should come here."

"Oh yes, it's wonderous up here! You'll be safe with us, evenif Silva finds a way up here," Christa said, as she did a spin after saying 'wonderous up here'.

Then Auria said, "Indeed. Our home has been a safe haven for many generations. Besides, the likely hood of Silva finding a way up here is very slim. There is no need to trouble your minds with persistant impulses of negativity to imprint stress upon your senses."

There was silence after Auria finished speaking.

Then Jay broke the silence and said, "Oh my gosh, you sounded just like Zane for that minute."

Auria tilted her head with a puzzled look.

"I don't follow you. May you clarify?" Auria asked, and Kai replied,

"Well, it's just that, Zane is usually the one in our group that talks with, um..."

"Logical understanding beyond certain comprehension," Flare added, and then Kai said,

"Uh, yeah, what she said."

Auria looked towards Zane, and Zane looked at Auria with a surprised expression from her intellectual pattern of speech.

Auria walked closer to Zane and asked, "So, you too have a high capacity of vocabulary and understanding beyond your peers at certain points?"

Zane snapped out of his stupor and said, "Oh, um, yes I do. Of course I don't undermine my brothers lack of word-based knowledge and skill intentionally. It's just the way I was made."

Auria smiled and said, in a low voice that only Zane was able to pick up, "So... I'm not alone..."

Zane looked at Auria with a raised brow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Auria snapped out of her thoughts and said, "Oh, um, nothing."

Then she turned to the others and asked, "So everyone, would you like a little tour of Aeroplane?"

The ninja looked towards one another and then back at Auria.

Cole was the first to say, "Yeah. We'd love to see the city."

Auria, Christa, Flare, and Raven nodded at each other.

"Okay. One moment please," Christa said, as Auria, Flare, Raven, and herself walked away a few feet and huddled together to talk.

The ninja and samurai watched the girls have their discussion with raised eyebrows.

"So who is taking who where?" Christa asked, in the huddle.

"The city is pretty big, and I'm sure if we split up that would make it easier to give the tour," Flare said.

"That would work," Auria said.

"So, we show them around and then..." Raven said, questionably.

"Then we meet at the training grounds," Flare said, which the other girls nodded.

"So back to my question; Who is taking who where?" Christa asked.

"I know Jay and Nya wanted to see the aerocycles and cars," Raven said.

"I'll escort them to the Aero-Vehicle Lot," Auria said.

"Alright, good two down," Flare said.

"Oh! You should take Zane with you. He may be interested," Raven said, knowing that Zane is a nindroid and suspecting that he may have an interest in technology.

"Sure, I'll take him too," Auria said with a nod.

"Oh! Then who should I take?" Christa asked.

"I got fire boy over there. He's fun to mess with," Flare said with a mischeivous smirk.

"Okay, then I'll take... the Earth ninja, Cole," Christa said, with a little smile as she said his name.

"Then I'll take Lloyd," Raven said, hiding back a smile.

"Ooh, of course you would take Lloyd, huh Raven?" Flare said, teasing, as Auria and Christa looked at Raven, questionably.

Raven started to blush a light pink, as she picked up her hands and waved them back and forth saying,

"Uh, uh. I-I'm not s-sure what you mean Flare, b-but he was the l-last person, s-so why not?"

"Mmhm," Flare said, as her eyes showed triumph when she heard Raven studdering.

Auria and Christa looked at one another in surprise, but then they started to giggle, as they understood what was going on. Raven's face became more pink, as she looked towards her friends, with her arms stiffly at her sides.

"W-Why are you two laughing?" Raven said, nervously.

"Aw, it's ok Raven. We understand," Christa said, with a warm smile.

Auria placed her arm around Raven's shoulders and said,

"Don't worry Raven. Your secret is safe with us. We're all friends after all."

"Sisters!" Christa said with a nod.

"Sisters," Flare said with a smile and a nod.

Raven looked at her sisterly-friends and smiled widely, as she nodded back to them.

"Alright! Let's go show our new friends around," Christa said, as the girls nodded in unison.

In the western most part of Aeroplane, Auria brought Zane, Jay, and Nya to the Aero-vehicle lot. Auria mentioned the presence of an autobody shop not too far off if they wanted to go visit. Of course, Jay wanted to be alone with Nya, so he asked Auria and Zane if he could be alone with her for awhile.

"You see, I really like like like Nya, a lot, and I wanted to spend some time with her, and-"

Auria raised her hand, midway, and Jay became silent.

Then Auria said, "I respect your wish to spent time with Nya. There is no further need to explain. If you need us just call out to the sky."

"Yes, just call for any assistance," Zane said, with a nod.

"Oh great, thanks Auria, Zane," Jay said with a big smile, as Auria and Zane nodded at him.

"Let's head off," Auria said to Zane.

Then Auria did a spin, downkick on the floor, and jumped straight up high into air, which led her to land on the building a couple of feet away. Jay and Zane 's jaws dropped open at the same time.

"S-She knows that jumping technique Marcell did!" Jay said, shocked.

"But, how would she know?" Zane asked.

"Jay! Where are you?" Nya called out, as she turned around from looking at an aerocycle engine.

"Coming Nya!" Jay called back. Then he turned to Zane and said, "I'm have to go, but maybe you can ask Auria where she learned that technique."

Zane nodded and waved to Jay, as he ran off to Nya. Zane turned towards the building where Auria jumped on, and he was able to do a few wall kicks and flips to get on the roof of the building. Auria was standing on the roof, looking out around the city when Zane jumped on the roof.

Auria turned towards him and said, "Hello Zane. So, where would you like to go?"

"Auria. May I ask, where did you learn that jumping technique?" Zane asked.

"The Spinning High Jump? I learned it from my teacher, Sensei Reine," Auria replied.

"Does your sensei know Marcell?" Zane asked.

Auria thought about it and replied, "She knows of Marcell, but they were not aquainted. Why?"

Zane replied, "It's just that, Marcell was the only other person I saw use that same jumping technique, and Flare's mother, Queen Malentha, was said to have mastered it as well."

Auria nodded and said, "Yes, Mrs. Malentha showed Sensei Reine how to use that technique, and years later my sensei showed me and Christa."

Zane nodded in understanding. For a moment, Zane and Auria were able to get a better look at each other. Auria noticed how Zane had such perfect features for a normal person (she doesn't know Zane is a nindroid yet), and that his eyes seemed highly knowledgable. Zane noticed how Auria had such lovely features and that her eyes seemed surreal and wise. He couldn't take his gaze away from her, somethng about her compelled him to continue looking into the eyes of the Princess of Aeroplane. Auria felt the same way about Zane, but she was able to snap out of it and turn away, which made Zane snap out of his hypnosis.

"Um, forgive me. I didn't mean to stare at you," Zane said.

"Oh, it's quite alright Zane. I apologize as well," Auria said with a nod.

"It's alright, I don't mind," Zane replied, which made them exchange smiles.

"So, where is it that you would like to visit?" Auria asked.

"Well I'm not sure what kind of places reside in Aeroplane," Zane replied.

Auria said,"Oh that's right. Well, I have a map that shows the different districts and what resides in that area."

Auria pulled out a folded paper from her pocket, and unfolded it. She placed it on the floor so that Zane could see it. Zane looked at the map, and he was able to scan and memorize each district and it's location.

"There are so many places to choose from. To think this whole civilization has been above our heads this whole time," Zane said.

Auria smiled and said, "Yes, and to think there were other ninja and vast lands below our feet this whole time."

Something in particular had caught Zane's eye.

"What is this place?" Zane asked, as he pointed to a part of the map.

Auria looked at where he pointed at, and she smiled and said,

"That is the Center of Engineering and Science. You can create whatever you will in that place with almost an unlimited supply of materials and new materials that come in to experiment with. It's pretty fascinating and informative. I can show you if you want to go. It's not too far from here."

Zane thought about it, and then he said, "Lead the way."

Auria smiled and said, "Alright then. Let's go."

Auria folded the map, and then she started hopping across the roofs while Zane followed behind her.

"I suspected a place like that would catch your eye," Auria said.

"Really? How did you figure?" Zane asked.

Auria replied, "I don't know really. I just felt like you would. Actually, I feel like there's... something we have special in common..."

Zane turned towards her and said, "I feel the same way, like if there's something different about us then anyone else."

Auria stood silent, and then Zane asked,

"What do you suppose it is?"

A memory came to Auria's mind, as she shook her head to disregard it and said,

"Um, I have no idea. Let's uh, continue shall we?"

Zane looked towards Auria with a little suspicion, but then he said, "Ok, let's continue."

As Zane and Auria continued hopping the roof tops, Zane thought, 'So it's not a coincidence. She feels the same way, but she doesn't seem comfortable to talk about it. I guess it ispretty odd... I'll respect her decision.'

While Zane thought about this, Auria thought,

'It's strange. I feel likewe're the same. No. That can't be possible. I'm the only one. Besides he has a father so... but then again... No, he isn't like me. No one is...'

In the southern direction, Christa was showing Cole the body building center.

"Oh man! This gym is huge," Cole said, as he looked around the gymnasium that was a quarter of the size of a football field with two floors.

There were people exercising with the equipment all around the room, and up stairs was where the people would practice playing certain sports if the outside was raining or something like that. Cole was amazed at the size, but he was even more impressed by the number of people who were there.

"Is it full like this often?" Cole asked, and Christa replied,

"Oh yes. People love to work out here almost everyday."

"Such commitment," Cole said, as he saw one of the people working out like a beast... well, in their own mind... lifting five pound weights on the bar.

Then Christa said, "Yeah, that's how it is. It's pretty great to see the people taking care of themselves."

After watching for a while longer, Christa shyly asked Cole,

"D-Do you like music?"

Cole turned to Christa and said, "I love music."

Christa's heart sped up and she said, "Really you do?! Oh, then you must see the Music Center for Performing Greatness!"

Christa grabbed Cole's left arm and dragged him out of the body building center.

After running for a while, Christa halted in front of a building and said,

"Here it is. The music center."

Cole was able to stand firmly on his feet, as he looked up at the building.

"Whoa! This place is just as huge as the body building center. Maybe even bigger..."

Christa looked at Cole, and then she realized that she was still holding onto his arm. She quickly released his arm, and turned to the side with a slight blush while thinking,

'I was holding his arm too long! Oh man, why am I feeling this way?!'

Cole noticed this and he thought, 'Is she... blushing? No way. I made her blush? No...'

Cole stood looked at Christa while she was still looking away. Then Christa slowly turned back to look at Cole, and she saw that he was still looking at her. She blushed even more and looked away, as Cole's eyes widened in surprise. Then Christa rubbed the back of her head and asked,

"So, um, shall we go inside?"

Cole snapped out of it and said, "Oh, uh, yeah. Let's go."

As they both entered the music center, Christa still had a blush on her face, but she walked ahead of Cole so that he wouldn't see.

Then Cole thought, 'I didmake her blush. D-Does that mean she likes me? Like how much I like her? Wait. I shouldn't rush intothis. I mean, we just met, but I feel like I've known her for a long time- Aaahhh! Now I'm getting cheesy! Oh man...'

In the eastern most side, after their tours, Flare, Raven, Kai, and Lloyd were looking around the training grounds of Aeroplane.

"This is crazy," Kai said, as he looked out through the training field that was almost the size of a football field.

There was mostly plain land in the center ring, and outside of that was training equipment like at the monastery. The training field was on it's own island, connected by a bridge to the main island of Aeroplane. Within the center of the field, stood Kai, Lloyd, Flare, and Raven.

"This is the biggest training grounds I've ever seen in my life," Lloyd said, as he turned to look around the whole field.

"Heheh. As you can see, a lot of the ground is mostly dirt and rock since people usually come here to battle and stuff," Raven said, as she pointed to the brown colored dirt floor and the grey stone that were in diamond shapes in the dirt floor.

"All of the people use this land for training?" Kai asked, and Flare replied,

"Most of them, and the children use it as a playground on the weekends. You should see the little buggers running across the field and collasping in their parents arms after all their fun."

Kai continued observing the land, and then he asked, "So where is everyone now?"

"Well, they should be home now or doing something else. The children already ran around the field until they dropped down like flies from exhaustion like they usually do," Flare said.

Raven turned and looked around the field, while Lloyd looked towards Kai and Flare to see that they were looking the opposite way. Lloyd turned around and walked towards Raven, as her attention was now towards her water staff.

Then Lloyd said, "Um, Raven?"

Raven looked towards him and replied, "Yes Lloyd?"

Then Lloyd said, "So, did you come here to train before? With your friends?"

"Yes. I did come here to train with them. Of course, I wasn't as good as they were before I received the Gem of Ages. Then when I got the gem, I was able to fight even better, whether I was younger or older. The gem didn't really work with time, so I was able to master techniques when I was older, and still use them when I was younger. Of course it wasn't as strong, but sufficient," Raven said.

"So that gem, could make someone learn whatever technique they wanted in a shorter time since they were older, and keep that technique for a longer time since they could turn younger, right?" Lloyd asked.

Raven replied with a nod.

Then Lloyd asked, "And yet, you knew this, and you destroyed it. Why? You could have used it before and turned yourself older to fight Carlo, but you didn't. Why?"

Raven looked off to the side to think, and then she turned to Lloyd and replied,

"Even if I would've saved the gem, what good would it have done? Sooner or later, someone else might try to steal it again, like Carlo did. What if it fell into the wrong hands again, and we wouldn't have been able to get it back? Then I would of been nothing but a burden on you guys, and I would have lost you-"

Raven cut herself off at that point, and Lloyd turned towards her, wide eyed.

"Lost me?" Lloyd asked.

Raven turned away from Lloyd's gaze, but then she felt his hand on her shoulder turn her around. Lloyd looked right into Raven's eyes, as she did his, while his hand was still on her shoulder.

Then Lloyd said, "Raven. Y-you chose to stay older, not just so that the gem wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, but also because... you wanted to... be with me?"

Raven fell completely silent. Then she slowly nodded her head, and said, "Yes."

Before another word was spoken, Flare and Kai turned around to see that Lloyd and Raven were looking at each other with loving eyes. Kai and Flare looked towards each other, and then a mischeivous grin formed on both of their faces.

Kai turned towards the young ninja and called out, "Hey Lloyd!" and Flare did the same and called out, "Hey Raven!"

Lloyd and Raven quickly turned towards Kai and Flare, who were both smirking with Kai crossing his arms, and Flare having one hand on her hip. Raven and Lloyd looked back at each other and noticed how close they were. They both jumped back from one another and were blushing, while Flare and Kai walked up to the two ninja.

"Aw, how adorable. Our two baby ninja in love. It's so cute I want to puke," Flare said while grinning.

Raven replied, "Oh, um, no, no, w-we just like being together. A-As close friends you know."

Kai replied, while looking towards Lloyd, "How close is close?"

Lloyd looked at Kai with annoyance and said, "We're just close friends is all."

Flare turned around and said sarcastically, "Right, sure only close friends."

Flare looked out towards the bridge with one hand above her eyes. Kai turned around as well and was trying to see what Flare was looking at. Lloyd and Raven looked at one another and smiled, while they stepped closer to one another.

Then Flare yelled out, "They're coming!"

Lloyd and Raven walked next to Kai and Flare, as they looked towards the bridge and saw five ninja and one samurai headed their way.
