3rd person POV

After all the action with the attack on Merlok's library, all the inhabitants of the kingdom were in a gloomy mood or sad. Physical condition (Y/N) improved, but her mental state was killing her. She looked pale and all the time she was sitting in the room staring blankly into space. Saber began to worry about his friend. He decided to talk to the knights who happened to be in the command center and watched the crying TV presenter.

"Hey guys ... are you guys feeling depressed too?- asked the lion entering.

They turned to face the lion in confusion.

- Not./ I'm fine./ Maybe./ Why are you asking? -They gave different answers.

- Because ... (Y/N) looks like she's deeply depressed. She is sitting on the bed all the time, pale as a wall, looking blankly into space. I don't know what's happening to her. - admitted the lion.

- How is that? -Macy asked.

Saber just shrugged, sighing.

- Why is everyone so depressed. We have overcome the cloud, Merlok is with us and we have survived. -Aaron said to everyone.

- Maybe they finally understood that life is endless pain.- Ava said.

"Aaron's right you need to change the negative attitude of the kingdom... and (Y/N) too. -Macy said.

- Please do something ... -Saber begged, going to the room, where the yellow ninja was.

They all looked at each other with concern.

- Hmm, what would you do to bring them back to joy?- Axl asked.

"We need something like... -Macy began.

"Party!- Lance called.

= Skip time =

The king agreed to organize a party for all of his subjects to the satisfaction of the knights but ... it was a party to honor Clay for saving the queen and the problem was that Clay was a statue and he couldn't be there. 

Aaron then had the idea to paint a petrified teammate and remotely control his armor so it looked like Clay was alive. The Knights were practicing on Clay (A / N: I know, I know it sounds weird, but I have no other expression how to put it.) when Saber approached them with his head bowed.

-Hey, Saber, how is Buttercup? -Aaron asked.

He just looked at him sadly.

"No change, she ... said we shouldn't leave Ninjago, we won't find Aya and it's all pointless ... like she lost her fire.- said the lion.

- What's new?- he asked, as Lance delivered the speech for Clay through the microphone.

- Few. -the archer replied.

Ava and Robin burst into the room. - Attention everyone! The kids from the Royal Academy are coming on the trip.- said Robin, pressing the button that opens the drawbridge.

- What?! Now?!- asked the surprised knights.

- Who's coming?- asked the lion.

- Students from school come on the trip. Saber please pretend you can't speak okey? -Macy asked.

-... I'll try.

- Please don't tell me they came with, that unfashionable Brickland.- Lance said.

As the bridge opened, a group of students with two teachers appeared.

- Hello, Richmond. -the older man said, and the white knight tensed up and laughed nervously.

The group walked in and the director of Brickland looked at Clay and started "talking" to him. Lance tried to speak his style, and under the pretext of being summoned to the castle, the knights got out of the Fortress as quickly as possible, leaving poor Saber to their fate. When the students noticed him, they took a deep breath.

- IT'S A LION!!- they said excitedly and ran towards him.

"Kill me, please.- he muttered to himself, his eyes widening in fear.

All the children began to pet him and stare in amazement at the animal to the great awkwardness and horror of the lion.

- Well, students, enough of these chats! We are starting our tour!- Brickland said, and they all marched off like soldiers.

= Skip time =

After the group left, the lion fled to the yellow ninja's room. When he got there, he slammed the door shut and was breathing heavily. (Y/N) looked at him dejectedly but raised an eyebrow.

"These kids are demons.-  said the lion.

- What children?- asked softly (Y/ N).

"A group of children has come to Fortrex for a trip from the Royal Academy and... sightseeing.- he said.

The girl nodded understandingly.

... Everything's all right? I am begging you, tell me what's wrong ... I'm worried about you.

"I'm fine. I'm just... I lost my enthusiasm.

- I already know that much ... please at least come outside, you look like a corpse, do you understand?

(Y/N) looked at the door for a moment. She got up and, with slow, weak steps, walked over, opened them and left, Saber rejoiced and followed her. As she walked toward the exit, she saw a group of kids sleeping on the floor and two adults who were giggling. She looked at it with curiosity and a slight smile. Saber hid behind the girl's body, trying to protect himself from them.

- What's going on? -she asked softly to her companion.

- I have no idea.

= Skip time =

Later it turned out that the Fortrex were chasing the monsters, probably trying to destroy it. Robin was firing a gargoyle from the roof of the vehicle with a special large crossbow mounted on the roof. It was shaking the fortress like crazy. The Brickland Principal woke up his students and informed about the attacking monsters.

"We have to stop these monsters, students!- he ordered.

- And we will use these technological weapons? -Izzy asked. Lance's sister.

- Eh news and mockery.- the other teacher said.

- We will show you how the old guard dealt with such matters.- said principal.

- And we will gladly join you. -said (Y/N) from behind the teachers, surprising them a bit.

- Who are you?- asked the other teacher.

- Humble. I am (Y/N), the yellow ninja, ally of good and ally of the Nexo Knights. - she introduced herself. - And this is Saber, my lion.

- Good morning? 

The students gasped in amazement and excitement.

- This lion can talk? -a boy with brown hair asked.

The girl laughed happily.

- Yes, and he's a great defender. -she said, stroking her friend's head.

= Meanwhile in the castle =

The knights' secret about Clay's was released, the king was shocked at the news. The Knights sincerely apologized to the royal couple for the fraud. The King decided to keep it between himself and not to tell the inhabitants about it, so that the depression would not fall again.

= Back in Fortrex =

Fortrex was still on the run from Jestro's army while the students and two teachers fought as best they could against the monsters. They fired the cannon with whatever they wanted, rubber chickens or even glass balls that they poured onto the trail, making it difficult for the Jestro's vehicle to ride. Ava tried furiously to integrate Merlok 2.0 into Fortrex systems, but it had no effect. 

(Y/N) laughed, as the students poured oil on the road to disturb the monsters, and Saber smiled that she was back to normal. It amazed them that the two professors jumped out of Fortrex and fight the monsters, but eventually surrounded them. 

Merlok finally returned to the systems and sent the students nexo power, the children then immediately rushed to the monsters, immobilizing them. And due to the absence of the cloud, they could not return again and the monsters retreated. (Y/N)  laughed again at the jester and his monsters.

= Skip time =

Fortrex brought the class to the walls of the castle.

- Robin, Ava! We want to thank you for hosting the students to Fortrex... and I hope our jokes will be forgotten. -Brickland said.

"But you really are welcome, Principal! Well done Izzy and Fletcher!- Robin said.

- Thanks Robin! This is a really great compliment! -Fletcher said and Izzy backed him up.

- And all these recordings from the database will be delete.- Ava said.

- And I also want to thank you, young people. -said ( Y/N) coming up to the students.

They looked at each other confused.

- Us? What for?- Fletcher asked.

- For bringing back the joy of life for me. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be sad. And now? I still want to laugh, especially after you masterfully defeated the monsters and they escaped from little toddlers like you. -The girl said smiling.

- Hey, we're not small! We're all grown up! -Izzy said.

- Ah, sorry! Young adults. -she said, correcting herself and the duo giggled.

The knights descended the elevator and approached us as the group departed.

- This party was a nightmare. I'm never going to control anyone again.- Macy said.

"We will only focus on finding a cure for Clay, I promise you.- Merlok said, appearing on the Fortrex screen.

"Hey look, Merlok is himself again!- Aaron called, flying to Merlok on his shield.

- Yes, Ava integrated Fortrex systems.- Robin said.

"How was Director Brickland's visit?- Macy asked.

- Ehhh, nothing but boredom.- Ava said.

As the knights entered, Merlok and (Y/N) began to chuckle.

- Oh look who's back. -Lance said.

"What about Lance ... you missed me ~? - teased (Y/N).

- Me?! Pshh no, Aaron missed you so much, not me. - he stated, looking at the said knight.

Aaron almost fell off his shield and looked daggers at Lance 

- Shut up, Lance.- he hissed, embarrassed.

The others laughed at the knight, as (Y/N) looked at them confused.
