Cole looked at his phone, soon the walking figure lighted up and he crossed the road alongside some other people. He was late, but how could he leave when Mystake made it hell on Earth for everybody once she noticed one of her magical teas was gone? Maybe if he explained that Wu wouldn't be so an—

He stopped and furrowed his brows, seeing he was the first one to arrive. He looked around just to be sure. "Where are the others?"

"I was about to ask you the same question" Wu looked around before sighing. "Maybe they'll join later. Come inside" Not daring to upset his teacher any further Cole did as he was told, following the man inside the Borg's Tower. They walked into the elevator, Wu pushed a button and it started going down.

"So, what are we going to do?" The black ninja looked at the man, he refrained from voicing his confusion on when the basement floor was built.

"Cyrus came up with a new security system for the Golden Armor. He wanted you to test it"

"Couldn't you say it over the message?"

Wu looked at him with an unamused expression, "Where are you most of the time?"

Cole furrowed his brows, confused by the question. "Uh, Garmadon's monastery. Why?"

"Tell me, who is there?"

"I don't get—" Cole cut himself off thinking about it, his eyes slowly widen in realization. "Oooh, okay, I get it. You didn't want Lloyd to know because he'd want to join too" Wu gave him a nod.

Soon the elevator's door opened and they walked out. The floor they stopped out was quite dark, only a few lights were turned on, Cole quickly noticed a well-lit area imitating the jungle, there was some Nindroids walking around the place. Beside him and Wu, and the Nindroids, there was only one other person – Cyrus Borg himself, he was doing something at a desktop with at least six different monitors. A Nindroid tapped his shoulder and pointed at the two, the man turned around and smiled. "Ah, I'm glad you—" He blinked seeing there was only two of them, his smile slowly got replaced by confusion. "...made it. Where are the others?"

"We don't know, perhaps they're busy at the moment. Should we wait for them?"

Cyrus looked up in wonder before looking back at Cole and smiling again. "I think we could start. After all, if one person is able to get to the Golden Armor, a whole group can definitely do the same"

"So, what am I supposed to do exactly?"

"Oh, I am sooo dead" Lloyd deadpanned, looking at the now older Techno.

"You never said your family makes drugs!!" Tommy exclaimed with excitement while shaking his friend, he had stars in his eyes. "Ooh, wait until Wilby gets home!"

"Toms, I'm going to get murdered when I go back home!"

"Meh, it can't be that bad. Me and Tubbo constantly steal, break or even light things on fire and I never get more of a punishment than being grounded" The non-shining blond waved his hand nonchalantly.

"Your dad isn't part demon though, is he?" The golden boy glared at his friend before groaning, "Ugh, I wish it was Dad I have to deal with..."

Tommy rolled his eyes and crossed his arms with a huff. "I have plenty of demon friends, thank you very much"
