An army of Vengestone Warriors left the Borg tower and began wreaking havoc on the city again. The new ninjas, as well as Cole, Kai, Nya, Lloyd, PIXAL and Zane lay on the ground and recoiled in pain.

Finally, after two, maybe five minutes, Lloyd and PIXAL picked themselves up and helped the others recover.

- They are indestructible. They didn't get tired of fighting us at all. - commented the orange ninja, rubbing the back of his head.

- Not to mention... the power, they used on us. - groaned the fuchsia ninja in agreement.

- How are we supposed to deal with them, when you can't even touch them!- asked Kai, rubbing his sore shoulder.

- Not to mention the Peacebreaker, they have on their side. - muttered Nya, taking off her samurai X helmet.

- And they kidnapped...my father. - said PIXAL sadly, burying her face in her hands. Zane came up to her and hugged her.

- What do they need the Borg for?- asked Cole. Lloyd patted his friend on the shoulder. - Most likely for some other crazy plan.

- After all, this army must have some kind of weakness! It's impossible, that they have such great strength, while we can't even hit them!- growled the teal ninja.

They all fell silent, looking at each other angrily, as if they remembered what had happened between them.

The army of warriors continued to rampage through the city for about a quarter of an hour more, when a howl rang through the air. The werewolves stood still as if hypnotized, before they quickly hide their weapons and, on all fours, began to scatter across the city, into the sewers.

When everything quieted down in the streets, the city looked like a void. Cars, trees, buildings and stores were, either destroyed or trashed.

Residents of Ninjago City had locked themselves in their homes with four triggers, afraid to go outside. The streets and sidewalks were lined with stone statues in strange positions, that were victims of these crystal beasts.

The ninjas had nothing left to do, but return to the restaurant and sit down at a table to discuss, what had happened.

- So, let's establish what we know. Vengestone warriors have the power to turn people to stone, as soon as they touch or bite them. We can't hit them, but they can hit us. On top of that, they kidnapped Cyrius Borg, no one knows why. - concluded Clay, writing in chalk on a blackboard, he took from God knows where.

- The conclusions?

- We are losing all along the line. - said Kai in a bored tone, resting his head on Skylor's shoulder.

- (Y/N) is a total dickhead. - said Lance.

- They are all dickheads. - said Cole.

- Dickheads, who can fight. - added Kai.

- Okay, the next person, who says "dickhead" will get a punch in the throat. - said an exasperated Saber.

The team just smiled crookedly at him then said ( everyone except Zane and PIXAL and Master Wu and Misako).

- Dickhead.

Saber just sighed, shaking his head at their childishness. Master Wu also shook his head at his students and allies, sipping his tea.

Clay sat down at the table and looked around among the team, noticing the absence of one person.

- Where is Aaron?

The ninja and knights also widened their eyes in surprise and looked around the premises. That's why it was so quiet. Suddenly, their doom rushed into the restaurant. Aaron had anger written all over his face and was covered in sweat. He threw his shield, which he kept under his arm, on the floor and sat down on the table, next to the team.

- Ah, there you are. - Jestro said laughing. Aaron looked at him coldly, making the orange knight scowled.

The green knight took off his helmet and placed it on the table next to him and combed his hair with his hand. He croaked, when he inadvertently moved his injured arm. 

- Where have you been?- asked Macy with concern looking at her friend.

- I was saving people, and what do you think, I was doing? - he said, rolling his eyes.

- Ouch. Aaron Fox is showing his fangs. - commented Lance. Aaron looked at him with a tired look and hissed, when he moved his arm violently.

- Are you all right?- asked Skylor.

- I am fine. - he replied quickly. Zane stood up and faced the knight. He did him a quick x-ray and looked at Aaron with disapproval.

- Your claims are wrong, Aaron. You have sustained injuries in your right hand. You have a dislocated hand. - he stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

- You don't say. - he said sarcastically.

- What is happening to you? You are not yourself. - said Clay, looking at him suspiciously.

- Jesus, I'm fine! Can you stop dragging this out! - growled Aaron.

- Dude, we're worried about you. Zane, come with us, we need to set this hand. Skylor come with us and give us some bandages, okay? The rest, on the other hand, rest, eat something and other things. If anyone is in pain, let them come with us. End of discussion. - ordered Saber.

Everyone looked at the lion with a silent stare. They were amazed.

Saber, seeing their reactions, smiled roguishly.

- I, I am the deputy (T/N), when she is away. Me, I am second in command and manage you in the Organization. - said Saber with complete seriousness.

- Ah yes? Since when are you fit for command?- mocked Lance.

- Please, and what is the big library in the castle for? When you go out on your missions, I usually read various books on war tactics, the arts of persuasion and the art of leadership. - explained Saber proudly.

Everyone's jaws dropped and they looked shocked at the lion, who laughed at their reactions.

- You see. I am the unpolished diamond in our team. Now, let's go upstairs.

Aaron, Saber, Skylor and Zane went to the apartment and sat down in the living room. Skylor brought a first aid kit from the bathroom and gave it to Zane. Nindroid took out the necessary painkillers.

- Take these, so you won't be in pain. - Zane said, giving the medicine to the knight and a glass of water.

- Thanks.

Aaron took the medicine and drank the water in one gulp. Zane nodded approvingly.

- Great. Now I need to adjust your shoulder. Ready?

- Do what you have to do.

Zane grabbed his dislocated shoulder and set it with a quick movement. Aaron's bone made a snarling sound, making Saber and Skylor squirm.

- Thank you.- he said.

- You're welcome. - The nindroid smiled. - Now, I'll go to the others, are you coming with me?

- No, go ahead.

- Okay. - Zane walked to the door and left the apartment for the restaurant. Skylor and Saber looked at him.

- So, will you tell us, what's bothering you so much?- said Skylor, sitting down next to him.

Aaron sighed, burying his face in his hands.

- I screwed up.

Saber and Skylor looked at each other. - What do you mean, you screwed up? What happened?

- In the park, I was rescuing people. Among them was a little girl. Her name was Lucy. She had... I don't know... five years old? I rescued her, from these monsters and returned her to her mother. When... I was returning, the shield broke and I fell.... As I was lying down at the time.... I looked to the side and saw.... them. Her mother and Lucy... were left... them... they got them. Instead of taking them out of there, I went on.... I broke the knight's code. I didn't save them when they needed it. 

Skylor and Saber sighed and looked at their friend with sympathy. Skylor put her arm around him and hugged him from the side. Saber sat down on the ground and looked at the window spot.

- And how she look like?- he asked in a slightly worried tone.

- She had blond hair, somewhere up to her shoulders. Blue eyes and she was dressed in a summer dress....why?

Saber looked at Aaron shocked and horrified at the same time. He looked to the window spot and back at him.

- Because... she... is... here?

Aaron abruptly raised his head and looked at him strangely. Skylor raised an eyebrow at him.

- What are you talking about, man? Don't make fun of me, it's not funny.

- No seriously, she is standing at the window, oh there! Can't you see her!?

Skylor and Aaron looked to the place where the lion nodded and saw nothing.

- Nothing there Saber. Are you sure you, haven't taken catnip from the kitchen drawer again?- raised Skylor eyebrow.

- No, I seriously see her, she... is talking to me. 

Aaron looked, where the lion was looking and turned to him.

- What is she saying to you!?

- She says ...that she thanks you for the rescue. Her and her mom. Those horrible monsters are no longer chasing them and.... She says not to be sad.... She says, she already has to follow her mom and some light, that calls them....See you around, little one. 

After that, the lion nodded with a gentle smile as the girl waved him off and a blue light engulfed her. Aaron smiled with tears in his eyes.

- She disappeared. But she will be safe there.

Skylor smiled softly, before looking at Saber in shock. - Saber, do you know what this means!?

- No, but go ahead.

- Saber... you are a medium.

- What kind of medium again?

- You... have the ability... of seeing ghosts.

- SAY WHAT!!!?
