___Nexo Knights___

Cole woke in darkness with a thundering headache. He laid completely still, trying to place himself, to collect his scattered thoughts. But He couldn't ... He felt something heavy and sluggish seemingly spread throughout his mind, keeping him from catching any scraps of memory.

"Are you certain?" A fretful voice said and Cole nearly jumped. "I'm positive joke boy." A coarse voice shot back.

"I always thought ghost were white like bedsheets." The fretful voice responded.

"Don't question me Jestro. I know what a ghost looks like and that's a ghost." The coarse voice shot back in a lower and sterner tone.

Cole opened his eyes. Cole was locked inside a glowing clinical force field situated on a portable pedestal.

"Wh—where am I?" Cole demanded as he reached out, brushing up against the clinical force field Cole got slightly burnt by the type of magic the clinical force field used.

Cole screamed and pulled back from the force field. The Book of Monsters burst out laughing. "Oh! He's awake." It unsettled Cole, the loud, burning hiss of a nightmarish voice that book produced.

Cole could still feel the scalding in his hands. Gathering his courage, Cole lifted his chin.

"Hey! Let me go!!" Cole managed to get out through this clenched teeth. "Sorry, kid. You're not going anywhere." The Book of Monsters continued to laugh at Cole.

"A what?" Cole twisted towards The Book of Monsters. The Book of Monsters repeated himself. "You're not going anywhere."

"Why am I here?" Cole said, at last, staring down the gruesome, living book.

"You're going to tell me who that girl was." The Book of Monsters declared his silk bookmark like lizard tongue flicked in the air.

"What girl?" Cole hissed back at the Book of Monsters.

"The one that smelt like Hela, the Queen of Darkness." The Book of Monsters growled at the ghost before him.

"Never heard of her." Cole lied and folded his arms defiantly.

"Given your species, I highly doubt that." The Book of Monsters growled at the ghost he'd caged.

Cole burst out laughing, shrill and painful one. "My species!? You don't even know who I am! How could you know anything about me!" Cole spat at the book.

"Fine! Play your little game. I'll deal with you later." The Book of Monsters decreased.

"Beast Master! Whiparella!" The Book of Monsters screamed and two Lava Monsters appeared.

Most lava monsters had fiery red skin, though a few have molten black skin while others have orange or yellow skin. Some monsters are made of molten lava yet others are made of rock. All of them had yellow eyes.

Whiparella was shaped like a snake made of lava, carrying two barbed whips. Beast Master also made of lava was wearing a dark hood and an eye patch holding two chains full with two crazy Globlins that were dragging around their Master from place to place

"You called." Whiparella said to the book. "Guard this ghost until we get back." The Book of Monsters order as he and Jestro left.

Beast Master turned two his Globlins. "Muffin. Poopsie. Sit." Beast Master ordered and the two Globlins did as they were told more or less considering they were ball-shaped and they were already doing the closest thing they could to sitting already.

Beast Master was disinterested with Cole. Whiparella, on the other hand, was very interested happening to be a monster with the power of fear.

Cole forced a smile, unsure if it would mean anything to a Lava Monster. Though he'd never wondered what a Lava Monsters would be like, either.

"A ghost hu, I would have thought The Elm of the Dark Realm would have eaten every last one of you." Whiparella teased Cole.

"Who?" Cole questioned the female Lava Monster. "Must be new." Beast Master snorted to Whiparella.

"Must be if he doesn't even know his natural predator, yet." Whiparella agreed with Beast Master.

"So spill, who was that girl that inspired such fear in the boss." Whiparella asked, her mouth wet with hunger.

"Look, I don't know what's going on." Cole said to the Lava Monster interrogating him. "Who even are you, people?" Cole asked demanded answers.

"Oh!" Whiparella said. "Pardon me. I should have introduced myself. I am Whiparella and this is Beast Master. You're a guest of Jestro and the Book of Monsters." She chuckled sinisterly at the ghost.

Cole pressed his palm flat on either side of his head, willing away the headache he had."Yes, and I'm Cole but I still don't see what that has to do with anything." Cole responded. "The last thing I remember was being chased by a dragon." Cole added.

The Lava Monsters looked at each other. "A dragon you say." Whiparella mumbled to herself.

"The others!" Cole thought to himself. "Are there others? Captives! Not like me—well, like me, but—alive." Cole asked the pair guarding him.

"Oh, no." Whiparella said politely. "We've never had one before. It's very exciting! I hope you'll enjoy your time here."

"And who is Jestro and the Book of Monsters?" Cole asked. In a tone of great confusion, Whiparella said, "You don't know? Why for a lack of a better term our leader, of course."

Cole's headache had been starting to clear. This almost brought it back again. All this talking in circles was getting him nowhere.

Beyond the door, something clattered—something heavy with thudding steps.

Beast Master sniffed the air then said. "Burnzie and Sparkks." In a speech patten that reminded Cole of one of Morro's ghosts.

There was a moment of silence, as the clinks of stone faded, Whiparella shifting from one position to another as she waited for the sound to leave.

"Who are they?" Cole asked. "Other lava monsters?" "Big, very big." Beast Master answered as he petted his pets.

"The boss must be going out." Whiparella noted and Beast Master nodded in agreement with her assumptions.

"What even is this place?" Cole questioned Whiparella. "Monstrox's castle in the Lava lands." Whiparella answered with an annoyed sigh.

"Ghost thick." Beast Master chuckled to himself. Cole sighed in defeat and sat down on the floor of the cage he was imprisoned in.

___Nexo Knights___

Kai suppressed an annoyed growl when he caught sight of Lloyd striding down a corridor of the Fortrex. Lloyd looked so small, so impossibly small. It was almost frightening.

"Well, this was certainly an interesting development." Zane commented looking over the de-aged Lloyd.

"I wish (Y/N) was here to see this." Jay said out loud. "She would have loved this."

"(Y/N)." Lloyd sighed sadly. Sadness crept into Lloyd's now childlike features. The Ninjas shared a solum moment.

It was the knowledge that Lloyd was so delicate and so very breakable right now. When Lloyd was younger he relied entirely upon (Y/N), to keep him fed, to keep him safe and happy.

Lloyd was a child. How could it even be possible!? Kai leant back against the wall and groaned. He could tell that the rest of the team was thinking the same thing.

How long would Lloyd be like this? What if he had to grow up all over again?

These questions, pressing as they seemed, weren't going to be getting the answers any time soon.

"So you still have all of your memories?" Clay asked Robin who nodded his answer.

"Yeah still me just... Older." Robin laughed a little at the strangeness of it all. Though confirming that he had obviously retained his memories.

"Sorry about having to borrow your amour Clay but mine didn't fit me any more." Robin apologised to the blue Nexo Knight.

"It's ok Robin." Clay affirmed. "You two look good." Nya said offering her support to this unfortunate circumstance.

"Look, we need to get to the bottom to all of this the first step is to talk to Merlok see if he has any ideas of what's causing all of this while the others rest. Then we formulate a plan." Clay said taking charge.

Everyone nodded in agreement and set about either going straight to Merlok or helping those still out cold to their beds.
