A/N italics are Lloyd's Pov.

I knew I was on someone's back. I don't know who's. But little did I know, I was about to find out.
"We should stop for a bit. As far as I know, we aren't going to get to our destination by the end of today."
That was Zane. I know for a fact that this wasn't Zane's back. He would've been a lot more gentle.
I felt myself sliding downwards, probably of the dragon's back. The same dragon's paws cradled my head and started stroking it.
My mind actually fell asleep for a moment because it was so soft.
It was the sound of talking that brought my attention back to my temporary mission to heal my bordem.
"So... Garmadon's son, Huh Green machine? I know you probably fell bad for not telling us, and probably scared too,"
Kai, it was Kai.
"But no matter who's son you are, whether you think we're gonna be scared of you or not, you're Lloyd, and nothings gonna change that." He nuzzled me.
I really wanted to show him that I heard, so I summoned all my energy to open my eyes, lift my head up and say, "Thanks, Kai."
The fact that I responded in the way that I did must have been good because Kai quickly shouted the others over after telling me to stay awake, so I did.
Zane soon asked me a question, probably to see if I could answer properly, "Do you think you could stay awake for the duration of the journey."
There was silence. Why couldn't I answer?
"Lloyd?" I felt someone nudge me.
Oh, great, I fell asleep again.
"I guess that answers the question, Zane."
That was the first time I heard Jay speak in a while, that's very un-Jay-like.
I decided to let my mind drift off so I could get enough to energy to wake up again soon.

Kai sighed and started to stroke Lloyd's head again.
"You were so great back there buddy. Come back, please come back."
The fire dragon looked around for a flat looking rock from where they were. There wasn't any, so he asked Cole to make one.
Kai gently laid Lloyd down on it and sat down next to him, still stroking his head.
"I know you can pull through the Lloyd, you have to."
Kai turned to see that others discussing a quicker route to the tea shop.
He ignored it for right now, Lloyd was his first priority.
*****
Talking brought mind back to reality again.
It was just casual talking again.
This was scary. I didn't know what my surroundings were, what time of day it was, I didn't even know if I was ALIVE!
Only one way to find out.
Once again all my energy was nearly drained my eyes pried open.
I groaned lightly.
A shadow blocked the sun from my eyes.
"This better?"
I nodded at Kai.
"Good, have you got enough energy to stand?"
I had no idea, so I said, "Yes."
Though I instantly regretted it when I collapsed. Kai had to catch my head before it hit the floor. I felt fatigue wash over my eyes again.
I soon realized that I had quite the predicament as I didn't have enough to energy to close my eyes.
Kai must've saw this because he said, "Don't worry bud, I got it." Kai used his two middle claws to shut them for me. I grumbled a thanks before darkness swept over my vision again.
Like earlier, I could still hear everything, but now I must've lost my sense of touch because everywhere was numb.
This just made my situation a whole lot scarier.

Kai sighed as he closed Lloyd's eyelids. This was getting really bad. Now he could see why Lloyd wanted them to go to his uncle's shop. Apparently it had all sorts of remedies in there.
"Guys! Get over here quick!" The rest of the group ran over.
What's wrong Kai?" Nya asked.
"Lloyd woke up again, but this time he was worse."
"How so?" Zane asked.
"Well, he fell asleep again but he didn't even have enough energy to close his eyes! I'm really concerned, so that's why I want to know if you can contact him again, Zane."
"Of course, K--" Zane cut himself off.
****
Zane doesn't know how it happened, but it did.
He could feel himself start to short circuit. Though it wasn't visible now, it would be soon.
"My humble apologies, but may I be excused for a moment." The ice dragon didn't even wait for a reply, instead he immediately ran off, behind some trees.
Zane quickly opened his chest and saw his audio was turned off. Strange, he though that he checked that before he left.
Unfortunately, this meant an unknown force could sneak up behind him.
And that's exactly what happened.
****
The 5 were sitting (or sleeping in Lloyd's case) waiting for Zane to come back.
Five minutes later, Cole heard a dull thud off metal.
He knew Zane was a robot, he knew that's what his titanium sounded like.
Without any second thoughts, Cole sprinted off to where Zane had went.
Once there, he saw a mysterious figure dragging Zane's unconscious body along.
"HEY! HEY, MOTHER FORKER! WHERE DO YA THINK YOU'RE GOING WITH MY FRIEND!"
It didn't take longer for the others to arrive.
"He is of ussssse to me and my masssster."
"Who's your master?" Jay asked excitedly. He was met with three glares.
"My masssster dwellsssss in the ssssshadowsssss. The dark lord, we call him. And thissss here droid is of use to ussss." The voice hissed.
Kai and Jay exclaimed, "Zane's a droid?!"
"I'm starting to think HarumiGarmadon is writing for us to each have secrets." Jay said. Confused glances were shot his way. "I'll be quiet."
"Anyway, I mussssst be going, my good fellowsssss."
"Who was that?"
A/N Guess who it is! And guess who their master is!
Whoever's the closest gets a shout-out.
