“There’s no time to waist!” I say getting up. “Set an immediate course for the tower where my father was kept.” I look up at Sensei. “Is it okay if Xavier stays with us till this is over? I don’t think the shadows men will be too happy if he turns back up in the void.”

Sensei nods. “Yes, he is welcome to stay on the bounty.”

    I nod. "Meeting in the bridge room. I'll be right back."

Zane helps Xavier to his feet and apologizes along with Kai, Cole, Jay, and Lloyd. I rush to the bathroom and wash my hands, wincing as the cold water hits the cuts on my hands. Rummaging in the cabinet, I find bandages and ointment. Smudging the ointment on, I hastily wrap the cloth around my palms then rush up to the bridge.

"Nya, set a course for the Tower." I say entering the bridge room. Nya nods and sets the cores.

"Why are we going to the Tower? Shouldn't we be going to Ninjago city?" Cole asks.

I sit on the table and cross my legs. "It's time for me to come clean with you. This might be hard to believe." I pause, searching for the right words. "As you know, the Over Lord is my father. But what you don't know is that I fought with him against the Spinjitzu Master." Jay, Zane, and Lloyd open their mouths but I hold up a hand silencing them. "Back then I was constantly in my morph form. When in that form time can not touch me, so I am not ridiculously old. I am just a normal 20 year old girl. Well I guess I shouldn't say normal.

"Any ways, I didn't just lead the Stone army, because it was mostly the Over Lord's army. My army was the shadow men and woman, and the other things of the void. I know this sounds far fetched but it is true. This also why I know so much about so many things, along with reading. The trees, wind and such tell me, but very rarely.

"Many things have changed in the void since I became good, that I no longer know their greatest strengths and weaknesses. But I can tell you this, the void and the Spirit Realm are the same in many ways. The Spirit Realm has many different realms, but the void is just the one. Where the Spirit Realm is good, pure, and just, the void is dark, evil, and cruel. With equal strength.

"Be cautious, be careful, noting can be trusted in the void. We might be able to get aid from the realms, but I am not positive."

"So why are we going to the Tower?" Nya asks.

"I had lost my memory, but I did prepare for a disaster. I prepared armor, remedies for various cut's, poisons, illnesses, and the such. Created and enchanted many weapons and objects with many different abilities." I explain. "We need to suit up. I do believe that I have something for all of us."

"How?" Sensei asks.

I shrug. "Honestly, I don't know how, but I had ideas to make supplies of various kinds that would be needed for such a time."
