The next day, they flew to transport the damaged ship, which was called"Rexcelcsior", to a secret ninja base and then went to the largest library in the capital. The builders decided to find information because they needed special energy to power the generator, so they started with a department with magical artefacts. They searched so long that the letters began to fuse together, making reading difficult.

Once they found information about a crystal that had the ability to open portals to any dimension. Their satisfaction disappeared immediately after Jay told them that the crystal had been destroyed a few months ago. Dangervest nearly knocked over the bookshelves because of his frustration, when he was putting the book.

After reading for hours, they returned to the monastery. Nya was watching them now. She was to lead them to a secret base so that the newcomers could see the state of their ship.

Ninja opened the hidden elevator and rode it down. They came out of it and saw extremely advanced devices. The floor and walls were made of metal, there was a huge computer on the right, and a mech on the left, which was not finished yet, lacked hands and half of the head.

"So much space!" Emmet was amazed looking around, and when he shouted, he heard an echo. "It's like Batcave"

"Well, even Bruce Wayne would be jealous." Rex laughed. "But it's still not bigger than my Rexcelcior."

"Welcome," A nindroid girl with green eyes and a samurai outfit approached them. "I am Pixal, also known as Samurai X. Together with Nya, I will help you repair your ship."

"Is it necessary?" Rex asked, not very pleased. "I don't like other people touching my ship."

"It's a bit late for that. I scanned the entire ship and checked if it had any bombs"

"But I don't let you do it anyway" He kept his stubborn opinion. It's good that they didn't touch my Rexcelsior. But if I had it, I probably wouldn't have to make a small ship to get out of its dimension and I wouldn't get stuck here! Although after what happened in my world ... even Rexcelsior could be damaged then.

"Where do we start, Rex?" Brickowsky asked.

"From generator repair. I still have to make sure exactly how much energy we need."

They wanted to use their power, but their hands didn't glow, and parts did not begin to rebuild themselves.

"Why is nothing happening?" Emmet looked at his hands.

"I think this dimension must have influenced us. Everyone has their own rules and not everything goes from one to the other" he explained and muttered dissatisfied. "So we will have to do everything manually. I forgot how to do this. Girls!" he called after Nya and Pixal. "I think we'll need your help though."

The repair took the next half day. They approached the generator cautiously because it was damaged. As Dangervest had predicted, they needed a tremendous amount of power, such as that of a dimensional crystal that shattered into small pieces. Searching for effective energy can take a long time.

At night, the archaeologist had to go to the bathroom, and when he got out of it, he heard someone. At first, he thought it was a mistake. He yawned and rubbed his eyes, but he heard something again, so he decided to check it. He followed the footsteps and paused in front of the living room entrance. He looked out from behind the door, inside he saw Cole opening the secret entrance to the base. What is he doing? Tracking was not a good idea considering they were controlled. But curiosity drove him to action. In addition, he destroyed the chip that Pixal put into his phone and motorbike.

He waited a moment and also entered the base. He knew the code that was needed to open the door thanks to his photogenic memory. This skill was useful to him many times, mainly when building.

When the elevator door opened, Rex quickly retracted and watched what the ninja was planning. Cole carried a black bag and put it in his motorcycle, put on his helmet and left.

If someone ordinary followed him awake in the middle of the night, it would end now. However, Dangervest is not ordinary. He took a small device out of his pocket, pressed the switch, and a dark blue motor with a large "R" on both sides left his ship. He sat on it, tracked the Black Ninja vehicle on the GPS, and began tracking.

Ninja was going towards the capital. Danger saw on the navigation that Cole had stopped in front of the bar. He wondered why he was there. Was he conspiring with someone against his friends?

Before he arrived, he admired the city. It reminded Rex of New York. The huge skyscrapers could have illuminated the streets themselves, and the air was surprisingly not poisoned, which meant that in this dimension technology was more developed than in Emmet's dimension. He also did not notice any factories from which clouds of black smoke would fly out.

He parked outside. The street didn't look untidy, so there is a chance that it will not meet here bandit bandits. He heard music from within, rock music. The cowboy loved this genre and considered it one of the best inventions of humanity.

Before entering the bar he put on a cowboy hat and sweatshirt. He didn't pack anything else into his trunk, so he had to count on the black ninja not noticing him in the crowd. He went through the door and tried to get through the crowd. If it wasn't for the high boots, he wouldn't see anything. He wasn't a very tall man, and he noticed in that bar that most men were taller than him, and he couldn't track who he was following.

People gathered at the stage and waited for the singer to sing. They shouted "Rocky! Rocky!" For a moment Rex thought his dinosaur would be singing. One of the raptors he just called Rocky, that's why he had such a funny association.

The song changed and the star began his performance. Dangervest listened to the song. He was singing really well. For a moment he decided to abandon his plans and squeezed through the crowd to be closer to the stage. He saw a young boy with a moustache, wearing a white hat with a black belt, black pants, boots, and his torn, unbuttoned vest revealing a carved six-pack. Wait ... Isn't that the black one? He looked at his eyes. Brown in a shade of strong coffee, sometimes reminiscent of onyx gems. Yes! It's him! But why? I thought that he was up to something and he was doing concerts at night. He said irritated in his mind because he had just wasted his precious time to find out that one of the ninja was a singer. But he really sings well. I will have to download songs from this world. I wonder if he sings a cover or if he created the song himself.

The song ended and Cole went to the bar and ordered a drink from the bartender. Rex decided not to reveal that he was following him. He managed to deduce a few things, certainly, the Earth Master sings in secret, so he discovered his private secret. He didn't even want strangers to know his identity, so he came up with a nickname and made an outfit. Probably not even his friends know about it. It must have been his secret passion because he sang straight from the heart. Rex scored a hook for him. Since he knows his secret, he will be able to turn it against him if necessary.

***

In the early morning Master, Wu left the monastery, informing his students about it earlier. He didn't reveal the details, but they weren't surprised. Sometimes their teacher needed loneliness to think through a few things.

Emmet asked the leader to teach them Spinjitzu, but he refused.

"Oh, I get it. So we're not worthy of learning this tornado, aren't we?" Rex asked suspiciously. "So you are protectors of Ninjago, but you don't share your skills with anyone else?"

"Spinjitzu is too dangerous for everyone to know" Lloyd insisted.

" Ok, cool, let's forget about this whole magical tornado, but you could at least teach your citizens hand-to-hand combat, simple defense" Dangervest said confidently. "You won't be able to help everyone, so at least you could share it."

Lloyd looked away, his lips twisted in an unequivocal way. He looked upset, thoughtful, and guilty. He crossed his arms, his bare hand firmly squeezing the sleeve of his shirt.

"Rex, let it go. We don't have to know it. All you have to do is teach me your fighting style and you'll be fine" Emmet said and looked at Lloyd. "If we have hurt you, we are sorry"

"Nothing happened" He waved his arms forming the cross again and again. "You're just fascinated by what we can do. However, we don't know each other enough for me to trust you and teach you this. You still have the power that is dangerous. Forgive me, but now I have to go" Saying this, he headed for the door and left the room.

"What do you think?" Brickowsky asked, seeing his friend looking at the corner of the room and scratching his chin, he knew the gesture well, he did it himself sometimes.

"I think these ninja once trusted someone, but it turned out to be their enemy and that's why they are very careful now in terms of the trust. I understand this behaviour. I am distrustful of them all and of the whole world."

"Well, you may be right. I will go to the kitchen to make coffee."

"And I'll work out a little in the gym. It's really great that they have gyms here! I can take care of my construction without going to the city every time with one of the ninja. See you soon" He ran out of the room.

Emmet slowly headed into the kitchen, going there, heard a conversation from outside the door of one of the rooms. The voices blended together, so he didn't quite know who was talking. He put his head to the door to hear better.

"Customers don't come. We really need to close it" Nya said seriously.

"And how are we gonna make money?" Kai interrupted. "I know that we get all the technology and scrap from Borg from Jay's parents so that we can create various equipment, but we also need to have food, and nobody finances it for us."

"Listen," Lloyd interrupted, "we need to come up with a way to make our teashop popular again. If we fail, each of us will have to find a different job. I see no other way out."

The rest of the team agreed with the leader. Although they clung to "Ninja never quits", they had little hope that they could save the fate of the tea shop. It was a place for them that they liked very much. Maybe the moments spent there were not as extraordinary as saving Ninjago, but they liked to spend time there because of this ordinariness. They also liked to help people spend a nice time.

The builder walked away from the door and quickly went to the kitchen so that they would not notice him. They have a problem with this local. There must be a way that they don't have to close it. Maybe Rex will agree to help? he thought, grabbing the cup handle from below while touching the bottom with small and ring fingers (it means emotional person).

He entered the gym. The raptor trainer was lifting a barbell that weighed five hundred kilos with one hand without the slightest effort, and that meant he was warming-up

Emmet's requests failed because Rex did not want to help strangers, so the construction worker decided to do it himself. He may be reckless, but if he doesn't help, he'll feel guilty. The ninja helped them, took them to their house, it is known that for the safety of Ninjago, but they could put them in some prison and not give them such freedom.

The builder sighed softly and left the gym feeling disappointed.

"I can help you," Emmet said entering the living room. He could hear a scrap of their current conversation and they had not finished talking about the tea room. "Just tell me where the main problem is, then we'll figure something out."

"Our place has been neglected for some time," Cole began, "mainly because of fighting, repairing the city, and other things. After the reconstruction of the city, we had quite a lot of missions, and at that time new premises were created that gained popularity."

"We are also popular, but after a long break, it was hard to break out" Kai stated. "We offered our master to promote the tea shop with his powers, but he did not agree. He said that power cannot be used for stupidity."

"In my opinion, not using your extraordinary talents is wasting your potential" He inhaled deeply, getting ready for his speech. "Listen, I understand that your Master does not want to accustom you to your powers so that you can do without them, but since your teashop is important to you, promoting it in this way is the best idea. Show people that they are not only used for fighting but also can create something that will delight them."

"And what if it won't work?" Jay suggested sadly, which was an unusual sight in his case.

"I heard you say "Ninja never quits." Emmet quoted their own words he had heard during their training. "Will you give up after the first lose?"

The whole team fell silent and started looking at each other. They decided to listen to Emmet's ideas, his plan was quite simple, but it required a lot of preparation. First, they will have to make a place, and change a few things inside, so that customers can have a good time with nice decor. He also came up with the idea that they can dress differently every day to diversify the atmosphere even more. He wanted to add three special tables for guests who want to play the game. Customers will be able to write their names to the application on the computer, which Zane will create, and then the app will draw pairs that will get to know each other by spending time together at one table. Nindroid has confirmed that no place has ever made such a game, so customers will definitely want to try something new.

Teashop advertising is, however, the most difficult thing to implement. The ninja will perform acrobatic performances using their powers to diversify them. It required a lot of time and creativity, and their popularity is an additional advantage. Emmet also wanted to participate in his own performance, but his power of creation, which he loved with all himself, was blocked, and he did not like destruction, so he decided to present something different.

"Roller-skating?" - Kai was surprised.

"Yes," He put on the roller skates that belonged to Jay. He was lucky that the blue ninja also liked this sport and they have the same shoe size. "I'm pretty good at it, also when doing skating acrobatics."

The archaeologist watched them exercise from the window, smiled slightly, seeing Emmet fall and immediately get up to continue training. He turned his head, looking into the dark corner of the room. He remembered why he wanted to escape to the dimension of his friend. He couldn't lose the only person who respected him because of his fear. Emmet will never reject him. He did not want to become just like him, full of hatred, loneliness and despair, and he sank into it even more after recent events, but he is not yet able to tell him about it. Now he has a chance to at least try to forget about it and think about what is here and now, not about the past.

He sighed heavily, pushed himself away from the wall, left the room, and when he was outside, his friend hardly bumped into him. Fortunately, he caught him in time before hitting the hard concrete pavement.

"Rex?" He shook himself and straightened up. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to help you. I hope there are roller skates that match me."

"You said it was too dangerous to trust them". He noticed, wondering what had changed his mind.

"I don't trust them, just you. But after all, I like to take risks" He winked at him.

***

Some literally took "We're splitting into pairs" because Jay danced with Nya, Zane with Pixal, Cole had to with Kai because Skylor couldn't come, and besides, she had her own place, so even though the red ninja is her boyfriend, would not help him in the performance. However, Skylor gave them some advice about running the place. Rex and Emmet represented roller skating, and Lloyd performed alone because he didn't have a pair and because he had all the main elements, so his individual performance was sufficient.

"As we practiced, there will be extreme tricks at the beginning of the solo, and then dance together with extreme tricks."

"Are you sure we can make it with people? We were practicing, but it's a bit stressful..." Emmet looked around. The audience was waiting curiously for the performance. He could hear them talking about them, they mainly wondered who the two were.

"Of course we can do it!" He shook him lightly. "If we rocked in the exercises, why not now? Don't stress yourself with these watchers. Focus on what you do. After all, you love to do it, so don't think about promotions, them or anything else. Only you and roller skates, and I, because I don't want to hit my head with concrete. Remember that we do not have any helmets or protectors."

"You're right, we can do it!" He yelled confidently, though he felt a little fear reminding himself that Rex could be hurt by him.

They had a lot of space on the street designated for the show, they arranged it before with the government, so they could easily perform their performance there.

The song, titled "Moondance" by Nightwish, perfectly suited to the combination of figure skating and aggressive. It will also add news to the people of Ninjago because this song did not exist in this world. They were lucky that Rex had mp3s with songs that were not from here.

The music began calmly, during which time they both positioned themselves in front of the little bollards. When the music accelerated, they began. In the beginning, they made simple moves in a dynamic way, for example, fish, snake, cross or manuals, and did pirouettes and somersaults backwards a few times.

The melody became calm again and then part of the figure dance show began. They both focused, even the simplest movements they wanted to perform perfectly. Rex and Emmet danced with passion, grace and delicacy. Rex seemed self-confident and that was how he felt. He knew that he had to show his best side, at the moment nothing else mattered to him. Brickowsky was more stressed. He was trembling slightly, making his movements stiff and sometimes looking at the watchers. He saw a group laugh, but he didn't know if they were out of them or something else, yet their laughter upset him. He stumbled inadvertently because he put his foot wrong on the ground.

He tightened his eyelids thinking that he was about to hit hard ground, but he felt something else. Rex grabbed him in the last moment and quickly set him upright, and turned him, making Emmet make another pirouette.

The builder thought for a moment, soon everyone would laugh at his trip, but he didn't hear it. Then he realized that the audience did not even notice that he did something wrong. Rex smiled at him and winked. It was a sign that the most difficult part of the performance would start soon. Despite this, Emmet felt less stressed than before, thanks to his friend who helped him.

The music accelerated again and they began to perform more and more difficult and dynamic acrobatics. It amazed people because looking at the two they had the impression that it was all so simple. But that wasn't the hardest part yet, and the watchers were certainly not prepared for what was about to come.

Emmet grabbed Rex by his left leg and arm and immediately began to spin around him. Suddenly the master of the breakup jumped, and his partner began to hang around faster. Rex was spinning in the air, spinning him up and down. This shocked the audience, mainly because they did not expect what looks less muscular, such strength. Also, they have never seen such complicated acrobatics.

Emmet took a deep breath. He was afraid because now he must be as focused as possible, he could not be mistaken, and if he makes a mistake, the Danger would be greatly hurt. But he was also excited about it because they were not wearing any or guards helmets. Danger said during training that they were unnecessary, so their skills had to be enough.

He gathered his strength and dropped off his partner. The master of the split made some salt in the air. Emmet caught him, kept hanging around with him, then threw him into the air again. Terrified screams of onlookers could be heard: "He will fall down soon!", "Impossible", "I can't look at it!", While others cheered and clapped to the rhythm of the music.

When the last notes of the music sounded, Emmet grabbed him and tossed him slightly up, and Rex landed on his partner's raised hands and finally took off his sweaty sweatshirt and threw it towards the audience. They both looked at them with a smile because a large crowd had gathered. There was complete silence for the first 10 seconds after the music ended. It was as if their performance had hypnotized those people. However, after a few seconds of silence, there was a loud buzz of satisfaction.

"This is what waiters from the "Steep Wisdom" tea shop represent!"The vest friends called at the same time.

Rex jumped from Emmet's hand and gave him a high five.

"It was awesome! And I said you could do it too, though ..." - he approached him "you made a small mistake." He whispered the last sentence so that nobody but them would hear.

"Thanks to you nobody saw it. I wonder how the rest went." He thought aloud.

"I don't know, but it's important that we did it well. Let's hand out leaflets". He pulled him towards the crowd.

The leaflets contained the premises logo, and on the other hand, had a map where the tea room was located in the city. The brochures went faster than fresh rolls. Citizens began to head towards the pub, and vest-friends also had to return. Zane, Lloyd and Pixal started early, so they should already be in the teashop.

They had to get by Rex's bike. Emmet would ride his own if they finished it. Unfortunately, the assembly of the structure took much longer without their power. Of course, the owner of the equipment was driving, and the other had to sit as a passenger. Brickowsky embraced him around his waist. The fiend liked to drive at high speed and would easily fall if he did not hold on to it.

Rex did not like to comply with traffic rules. He thought it was boring, but he didn't want to be caught by the police, so he controlled himself a bit. They did not have time to conflict with the government.

They arrived, but they could not park centrally in the tea room. Crowds gathered so the plan burned out. Rex found a free seat and parked his bike literally a few seconds in front of another bike.

They didn't have much time, they had to change clothes as soon as possible to start serving customers. Not everyone has returned from their performances yet, every pair of hands was needed immediately.

A lot has changed in the tea room. Emmet made revolutions here with his ideas. Next to the cash register was a shelf with a window through which one could see various cakes, cupcakes and many other sweets. Everything has been baked by Zane. Throughout all three days, literally whole. Sometimes being a robot is really practical, especially when it comes to sleep, you don't have to sleep, although you could. Also in front of the tea room, there were places for guests, previously they were only inside it. Even with additional tables, guests had to wait until the tables slow down, and some more stubborn drank and ate while standing or sitting on the floor by the wall. On the other hand, Nya and Jay prepared a menu that morning and prepared the tables. They brought the place in order and, as Emmet suggested, several tables were allocated to the special game.

"Come here!" He called to Rex's customers, turning on the drawing machine. "Come to my friend Emmet if you want to play "Draw, meet and have fun"! What's going on in this game? I already explain to you. Ten people, preferably those who do not know each other, have to write their nameson the computer. You will be able to meet a new person over tea with delicious cakes by Master Of Ice, Zane. The longest such meeting can last half an hour. You have to let other people play, so the time is limited. Anyone is interested?"

Many people gathered in a queue to take part in this game, but when the first ten people took their tables, most were dispersed. They did not want to wait so long, about twelve people remained.

Vest-friends left the computer, shutting it down for the time being. They picked up and brought orders, and at that time the rest of the ninja returned to the teashop, followed by a horde of new customers.

"Wow. I think they did great too." Emmet noticed looking at the crowd.

"And why shouldn't it work? They were great at training, although we are better anyway" He laughed.

"You know that sometimes modesty would be useful to you?"

"Modesty is boring."

Rex headed for one of the tables. He served three iced teas and chocolate cakes for three young ladies. It wasn't his habit to speak to a stranger with great respect, but now he was a waiter. He treate

Passing between the tables, he sometimes heard that they were talking about him and Emmet. He did not manage to hear everything, because his hearing was somewhat damaged from excessive listening to music.

"The one with the beard is really hot. Do you think he is dating someone?" The brunette whispered to the blonde.

"I don't know, but his name is Rex. He has a name on his shirt. I prefer the other one, Emmet. He is cute." She giggled.

Rex was not surprised that girls were talking about them. He expected this. He didn't mind because he liked to get the attention. However, another thing surprised him that Emmet had changed somuch. He was sure that he had influenced him, but something had to happen this year. What was really going on with him? He didn't ask his friend about it. Because if he asks him, the builder will also want to know what happened to him. All the time he delayed revealing his secret.
