"How much farther to that distress call?" Nya asks as the group is flying towards the distress signal.

"Should be approaching it now?" Zane asks.

"I don't see it." Cole says.

"There! That's gotta be it!" Alexis says as she points to a building in the distance.

"That's the Ninjago News Center." Nya says.

"It's covered in those... things." Kai says seeing the building is covered in tentacles.

"I guess they didn't evacuate in time." Cole says.

"I'll bring us in over the rooftop. You guys get them out of there before the clouds swallow the entire building." Nya says.

"Come on Cole!" Jay shouts as he, Alexis, and Cole run to the ladders and climb down them onto the roof as people come onto the roof.

"Hey folks need a lift?" Cole asks.

"Boy are we glad to see you guys! Thanks!" A man says.

"Our pleasure! Mind your step now." Jay says as he gestures for the people to start climbing up as they begin climbing.

"Uh a little quicker folks." Alexis says as the darkness begins to get closer.

"Creepy black vines closing in!" Jay shouts.

"Okay Nya! Get us out of here!" Alexis shouts as she, Cole, and Alexis jump on the ladders.

"You got it!" Nya shouts before the thrusters turn backwards

"Uh oh!" Cole says as he gets blown onto the ladder and hangs upside down by his feet while bouncing into things.

"Cole!" Alexis shouts worriedly.

"Hang on Cole!" Jay shouts before the ladder Cole is on snaps and he falls into the darkness

"No!" Alexis shouts as she tries to jump off the ladder after Cole only for Jay to grab her as she cries into shoulder while the group is forced to leave without him.

*Timeskip*

As Alexis is sitting outside on the bridge she soon sees Pixal, Lloyd, and Garmadon crash onto the bridge in the Mech as the others run to check on them.

"What's with the faces guys? What? What is it? Where's Cole? Where's Cole? Somebody say something. Where's Cole?!" Lloyd asks as he sees everyone looking at him sadly.

"He's gone Lloyd. He.. he didn't make it. He fell into the cloud." Alexis says as she slowly walks over before turning away from Lloyd as she begins crying.

"I'm sorry. Alexis I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I pulled the thrust lever the wrong way and..." Nya says as she starts to sob.

"It wasn't your fault. It was an accident." Jay says as he and Kai try to comfort Nya.

"It could have happened to anyone." Kai says.

"Alexis are you alright?" Lloyd asks as he looks at Alexis who just looks at the ground.

"No. No I'm not. I just lost the one I love and if I could switch places with him right now I would. Just let me right now." Alexis says sadly.

"Okay let's get going." Garmadon says as Lloyd angrily looks at him.

"Do you mind?!" Lloyd asks angrily.

"Yes I do. We are wasting valuable time. All that matters now is this." Garmadon says as he holds up golden armor.

"The Golden Armor." Kai says.

"What about the Realm Crystal?" Zane asks.

"It didn't work but this will! They fear it." Garmadon says.

"Cole was our friend. He was more than a friend he was family. But you don't understand that do you? What's the point? You're never gonna get it! Because you don't care about anyone but yourself!" Lloyd says angrily.

"Every moment you delay risks our survival!" Garmadon shouts.

"There's more to life than surviving!" Lloyd shouts angrily as he screams and angrily walks off.

"How do you reason with that? You Nindroid if any of you are capable of logical thought it is you. Tell them!" Garmadon says as he looks at Zane.

"I'm happy to say you are mistaken. At this moment even I am incapable of logical thought!" Zane says as he and the others walk off leaving Garmadon.

*Timeskip*

"You're still up?" Lloyd asks as he sees Alexis out on the deck looking at the stars.

"Sorry Lloyd. I was just-" Alexis then gets cut off by Lloyd.

"Thinking about Cole?" Lloyd asks as Alexis nods before looking down.

"Please Lloyd just let me be. I don't wanna talked right now." Alexis says as Lloyd sits beside her.

"Then don't talk. Just listen. Okay?" Lloyd says as Alexis doesn't look at him.

"Alexis I know it's hard but we can't dwell on the past. Cole was an amazing friend. He was family. If we could help him we would but we can't. There's nothing you or any of us can do. We just have to keep moving and keep fighting. We have to win. We have to win for Cole and the others." Lloyd says.

"I really miss him." Alexis says sadly as she begins crying.

"I know you do. I do too. We all do." Lloyd says.

"I really wish it had been me instead. I just wish Jay would of let me go after him. Even if I wouldn't have made it maybe I could of helped him." Alexis says as Lloyd looks at her.

"Don't talk like that. You know Cole wouldn't of wanted that. He loves you more than you know." Lloyd says.

"Yeah but now I will never have the chance to experience life with him." Alexis says sadly.

"Maybe..maybe not. He's still with us in spirit. We have to keep moving on. For his sake and everyone else's so we lose no one else." Lloyd says as he pulls Alexis into a hug.

"It hurts so much." Alexis as she is sobbing.

"I know. It's alright. I'm here. I'll stay with you for now. Just try to calm down. Don't think of the bad things with him. Remember him as he was. A boyfriend, a team mate, and a friend." Lloyd says as Alexis sniffles before nodding as she lays her head on Lloyd's shoulder as he gently rubs her arm trying to comfort her.
