          It had been a few hours since you dropped dead, and your friends were starting to get worried, even after arriving in Ninjago City. "Are you sure she's alright? It shouldn't be taking her this long to talk to Jay, right?" Lloyd asked curiously as he handed you over to Nya, the girl nodding her head as she glanced at Cole. Your friend simply shrugged his shoulders before stating he knew just as much as they did, walking into the building they were being guided towards.

From there, they loaded into an elevator and patiently waited for it to rise up to the floor they were needed on. Walking into said room, they were quickly taken aback when Dareth approached the group, a look of relief on his face. "Boy, am I glad to see you guys! Ninjago has been chaos since you disappeared, but don't worry, I've got a plan to get Jay and the others back." Glancing over at Lloyd, Nya sighed as he simply shrugged his shoulders and stated that it wouldn't hurt to try, now walking into the small studio.

Placing you carefully onto a side couch, Nya covered you up with a spare blanket before walking over to one of the chairs that was set out for her. "I wish I could tell you the mission is gonna be simple, it's not." Dareth started to talk as he walked in front of the remaining Ninja, swiping off a pair of sunglasses he had previously been wearing. Silence enveloped the area as the Ninja shot glances towards each other, hell even to your dead body, before looking back at Dareth.

"Uh, yeah, it is." Cole scoffed a little as he crossed his arms and leaned further back into the chair he was seated on, his posture slacking. "In case no one told you, we got what we need to stop Nadakhan on the island." Gesturing over towards Nya, the girl took out the canteen that held the venom, watching as Dareth occupied himself with cleaning his sunglasses, rather than paying attention. "After we go up there to save Jay, we take care of business, simple. Plus, Y/n is already probably working out the details on how to invade Nadakhan's ship with Jay right now as we speak. Why else would we be carrying her in dead?" Shooting you a small glance, the boy had noticed a small shift in your position from where Nya had laid you, but ignored it at the time.

Dareth shot you a weird glance before scoffing and throwing his sunglasses back on his face, an unamused look shooting across the Ninja's. "And when you fly your fancy Elemental Dragons up there, just how long do you think the four of you are gonna last against an entire crew of Sky Pirates? And what if Y/n fails to contact Jay... however she's doing it, what then?" Dareth quickly glanced through the three awake Ninja's, Nya rolling her eyes as the police commissioner stated that the entire police force would follow the Ninja's every word. "Then the word is 'Goodbye.' As in, say goodbye to Jay when they see us all coming, no, this mission is not simple, but it's not impossible. Not without the help of a little magic, movie magic." With a slick grin, Dareth snapped his fingers over towards a corner before doing a small gesture with his hands, two men walking over.

With a unanimous look between the two, they both set down an easel with large paper cards already set up. "So we got the message in the bottle from Jay that reads: 'Don't worry about me, worry about stopping Nadakhan.' That's nice and straight forward, but very unhelpful." The man with a beard started to explain and he pulled out a pointing stick, gesturing to the bottle in hand. "What's more interesting is the message behind the message." There was silence as the two men fought to open the bottle and take out the paper, Cole humming before stating that he was lost.
