Lloyd's arm trembled as he did his best to hold himself together.

"Focus, in order to bare the fate of Ninjago on your shoulders you must first learn to bare the weight of all of us." Wu instructed as he sat on Cole's shoulders sipping his tea. Cole himself sat on the combined shoulders of Kai and Jay who were held up by Zane, all while Lloyd remained on one arm holding up the entire stack.

[Y/n] watched with pure concern as the boy swayed side to side.

"Focus." Sensei Wu encouraged.

"Sensei, I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." Jay spoke quietly making sure not to make any sudden movements.

"Yeah Sensei, he's just a kid." Cole added.

"In order for him to succeed, we must all trust one another." Wu lectured, keeping the group from breaking formation.

However, whatever it was Sensei Wu aimed to achieve with this lesson remained a mystery as out of nowhere a wrecking ball swung in, smashing through the wall behind them and sent the ninja flying across the room. [Y/n] was quick enough to jump forward, catching Lloyd mid flight before kicking away a few bits of debris that posed a risk to the others.

"You ok?" [Y/n] set the kid back on his feet while doing a quick preliminary check to see if he had any injuries.

"Y-Yeah, I'm good." Lloyd answered still a little shaken up.

"What was that..?" Cole groaned as he slowly picked himself up.

"Uh.." The construction guys stared baffled on why there were people inside.

"Whoa, whoa!! This wasn't supposed to happen till tommorow!" Dareth quickly ran in swinging his arms like a mad man.

"Tommorow? Let me see that order." The man in the suit snatched the piece of paper from the construction guy and gave a a quick skim read.

"Oh yeah, haha. Sorry about that, we'll be back in the morning." The guy in the suit and his crew headed off still leaving a massive hole in the front wall of the dojo. Dareth let out a low whine as he picked up one of his bent trophies off the ground from the debris.

"Uh Dareth, what is this all about?" Cole asked what everyone was wondering.

"Well I fell behind on some of my payments and some developer named Darnagom Enterprises is buying the entire block to put in some stupid frisbee golf course. They say if I don't cone up with fifty thousand by tomorrow, the dojo is gone." Dareth's head drooped in sadness as he scavenged through the rubble.

"But we already lost the bounty, we can't lose the dojo now!" Jay despaired.

"My trophies, oh, my fake trophies!" Dareth sobbed holding the bent deformed metal cup.

"Wait a minute, Darnagom..? If you rearrange the letters, it spells-"

"O'Grandma?" Jay guessed before Zane could finish.

"No, Garmadon!" Kai caught on to Zane's point.

"Right.. that would make more sense." Jay chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"My dad is behind this?" Lloyd looked between the group.

"If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?" Cole questioned knowing they had no other option besides the apartment.

"I suspect that's his plan." [Y/n] deducted with ease.

"Any chance you got fifty thousand in that teapot?" Dareth asked Wu with blind hope.

"Worry not Dareth, you are not in this alone. We're all with you." Sensei Wu promised him with a reassuring smile.

"Sid someone say fifty thousand?" Nya announced her presence.
