Kai's P.O.V.:

I was driving the noodle truck back to the monastery when all of a sudden the truck stopped moving and died in the middle of the street.

"What happened?" Jay asked.

"I believe we are out of gas." Zane looked at the meter which was on E.

"I told you we should've filled up at the station." Cole said.

"Well I was kinda focused on saving our friend from an entire group of villains from our past!" I yelled.

"Guys, the subway is right there." Jay said. "Can't we just take the tunnels back to the monastery?"

"We could, but I have a better idea." Cole said. "We need to go after Lloyd."

"I thought Garmadon was taking care of that?" Jay said.

"Does anyone really trust Garmadon make good on that?" Cole crossed his arms.

We all thought about it for a second, and then realized Cole had a point.

"Ok, let's go." Jay said.

We all started heading to the subway tunnel. We were almost to the place where Lloyd disappeared when we stumbled upon an abandoned subway car.

"No way!" Jay shouted very excitedly.

"What?" I asked.

"Is that what I think it is?!" Jay said.

"If you think it's a rusted piece of junk blocking the tunnel, then yes." I said.

"That's not junk, that's a BRT M-12 subway car!" Jay squealed.

"What?" I asked again.

"The BRT M-12 was the workhorse of old Ninjago City subway system back when it was all run by steam!" He explained. "These cars were discontinued over 50 years ago! This is a classic!"

"Let me guess, you collected toy trains as a kid?" I said.

"No, I built model trains, thank you very much." Jay bragged. "And this is a very rare model! They don't build them like this anymore. This baby was engineered for strength and durability."

"Thanks for the trivia, now can we get back to trying to find out what happened to our friend Lloyd?" I asked. "You know, who vanished without a trace from this tunnel?"

"Right, yes. Let's do it." Jay agreed.

We kept walking until we got farther into the tunnel, but then Zane suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Cole asked him.

"My acoustic censors are picking up a strange sound."

"What kind of sound?" Jay asked him.

"A soft clicking sound, like tapping almost." Zane said.
