Lloyd and his friends, Kai, Zane, Jay, Cole, and Nya, ran through the jungle.  They were are on a scout mission about hearing some rumors.  Some people have been reporting to have seen some kind of portal-like tear in a cave.  

"Alright, guys," said Cole, "we have to be quiet.  We're near the village of the former General #1s"

"Reminds me of awhile back, huh, L-Lloyd?" Kai joked.

Some of the ninja snickered.  Lloyd just growled to himself.  Although that Lord Garmadon's apparently good now, his jokes just wouldn't stop.

Lloyd replied very little, and not just because of the mission, but also because of what happened between them during the "Age of Meowthra" as it had come to have been known from now on.   

"Yeah...I guess." Lloyd responded after some pause.

Lloyd is still very hurt about when they shouted at him for destroying their mechs with Meowthra.  What hurt Lloyd most was when they just left him behind in the jungle, allowing the infinite former General #1s.  

"All I remember is the abandonment I felt when you just left me there." Lloyd suddenly started.

The other ninja looked to their leader.  

"Aren't we past this by now?" asked Jay.

"You guys never even apologized to me about it." Lloyd responded.

"Yes we did." Kai defended.

It was true they did.  But the it was a bit of a halfhearted and unadmittedingly.

However, the arguement soon stopped once they see a cave leading to somewhere.  Lloyd was just about to tell everyone to follow him, that is until they just run past him.  However, something was up.

"Guys, we should stop." Lloyd advised.

"We're fine, L-Lloyd." Kai teased, this time, it sounded like an insult.

Lloyd felt the anger beginning to boil up his blood.  He just couldn't understand what to do.  What would his Sensei/Uncle Wu do?  He'd probably tell them that that wasn't a question, it was an order.  Then again, he just might as well let them go around in their reckless attitude.  

The annoying part of being an apparent Master-in-training is that those like Kai, Cole, and Jay would just tease him while actually listening to Wu.  Lloyd felt the first option was more better.  He then stomped his foot and readied his voice.

"I'm giving you a suggestion, I'm giving you an order!" Lloyd responded.

"And we're ingoring that order." the team answered.

Lloyd just stood there, half-shocked.  He partly expected this, but it still hurt.  Lloyd then kicked the wall of the cave in deep frustration.  Suddenly, a wall comes down, revealing a huge portal.  

"This must be the portal." Nya said, amazed.

"I'm sensing a strange energy coming from that portal." Zane said.

Jay started to move towards the portal.

"Jay, stop!" Lloyd commanded, "We don't know what'll happen."

"Calm down, Lloyd." Jay responded, "I'm sure nothing will happen."

Lloyd felt his face beginning to turn red with every new frustration in his mind as Jay then touched the purple energy.  Suddenly, a powerful vaccum started to suck in some debris around the team.  Cole summoned an earth wall for everyone to use.

"Why did you touch the portal, Jay?!" Cole demanded.

"I didn't know it would do that, Cole!" Jay defended.

"You're the one who didn't listen!" Lloyd shouted.

"Shut up, Lloyd-!" Kai shouted back.

Suddenly, sections of the rocks began to break apart.  Soon, about most of the ninja were sucked in.  Now it was just Lloyd, Kai, and Nya.  Kai yelled as he lost grip and hanged onto Nya's legs.

"Let go of me, bro!" Nya demanded.

"What do you think I got, wings?!" Kai asked.

Suddenly it sucked them in too, all except Lloyd.  Then, the portal closed.  Lloyd looked at the spots where he last saw his friends.  He then got down to his knees and began to cry.
