"Hurry- please-" Nya says as she tries to come in on the communicator.
"Nya I don't understand what you're trying to tell me." Alexis says.
"Alexis I know where we need to go." Griffin says as Alexis looks at him.
"How?" Alexis asks.
"I'll explain on the way." Neuro says as Alexis nods and follows him towards the truck.
*Timeskip*
"Thank goodness you got my message." Neuro says as everyone arrives back at the Samurai X cave.
"Look at you." Kai says as he looks at Skylor and sees the spell is beginning to wear off.
"The spell is wearing off but my father's antics sadly have not." Skylor says sadly.
"So why were we asked here? We should be fighting snakes." Griffin says as Alexis looks at him.
"Because anyone can fight. Only one side can declare victory." Wu says.
"In the time it took you to get here Chen has taken over the entire Eastern seaboard and is moving inland. With each village destroyed they grow stronger." Nya says as she brings up a bunch of red dots showing the villages on a screen.
"That's a lot of red. Karlof not like red." Karlof says.
"How are we supposed to stop them? Most of us have lost control of our dragons. Not to mention we're outnumbered ten to one." Gravis says.
"Actually 62.4 to one." Zane says.
"Look I'm scared like the rest of you. It may look like we've lost but it's not over. When we thought we lost Zane it nearly tore us apart. But we didn't quit. We let it fuel us. We grew stronger." Lloyd says.
"There's hope. The Corridor of Elders." Wu says.
"Corridor of Elders?" Shade asks.
"I know we don't stand much of a chance taking on his entire army at once but after he's controlled the East he'll move West tomorrow and have to pass through Echo Canyons. Our best tactical position is to make our stand where it bottlenecks. Here at the Corridor of Elders. The monuments honoring our ancestors. It's the narrowest channel but our greatest chance." Wu says.
"If we can't stop them here the rest of Ninjago will fall like dominos." Garmadon says.
"We have to stop them. We have to protect the people and our home." Alexis says.
"Then we have one day to save tomorrow." Wu says as the group cheers before the ninja head off in different directions to gather help for the incoming fight.
*Timeskip*
"Huh. There's so many of them." Jay says as the group stands in the distance seeing Chen and his army heading their way.
"That might be but there's many of us now as well." Alexis says as she shifts to wolf form and growls.
"We fight for each other. We fight as one." Lloyd says as he uses his powers to make a line in the ground as everyone cheers as the army begins running at them.
"Hold the line. Hold the line. Hold!" Lloyd says before some of the snakes fall into a hole.
"Now!" Lloyd shouts as Zane covers the hole in ice before the two groups begin fighting and are eventually joined by Nya and Misako as they help using the Bounty in the sky.
"Watch out!" Karlof shouts as Chen shoots a statue before Gravis protects them from the falling statue.
"We have to stop them!" Lloyd shouts as the group continues to hold back Chen's army.
"We don't have enough people." Kai says.
"We can't hold them all!" Alexis shouts as snakes begin to get past the group before Lloyd runs off before later returning and angrily attacking snakes.
"What's gotten into Lloyd?" Zane asks as Alexis looks at him.
"I don't know but it's too late. We can't stop them now." Kai says as he looks at Zane before Lloyd leaves again.
"huh? what's going on?" Alexis asks seeing snake spirits appearing while Garmadon is sucked into a portal above.
"The spirits of the Anacondrai Generals." Kai says.
"They're cursing Chen's army." Cole says before the group sees Chen get taken into the portal and Skylor is back to normal again.
"All right! Hahaha. Yeah we did it guys. We did it." Kai says.
"Haha! You showed them!" Karlof says.
"You mean we showed them. Thanks for fighting with us." Cole says as he looks at Karlof.
"We couldn't of done it without you." Alexis says.
"Huh. Smarter than fighting against you." Karlof says causing others to laugh.
"Anytime you need your help just holler." Jay says.
"Same goes for you. I imagine we all have homes and villages to get back to. Thank you Ninja." Neuro says.
"Thank you friend." Zane says.
"We won't forget what you all have done." Alexis says as she smiles.
"This is Corridor of Elders. Not Corridor of Trash. Help me clean up mess." Karlof says as he is cleaning up debris.
*Timeskip*
"To the Anacondrai. The greatest warriors of their time." Wu says as he pours tea into Kai's cup as the group is gathered around a campfire.
"Yeah. Now it's our turn to make our ancestors proud." Jay says.
"And our loved ones." Alexis says.
"Because we're proud of those who were here before us to show us the way. Goodbye Father." Lloyd says with sadness in his tone while holding the spell book Pythor brought him.
"His loss will affect us all." Wu says.
"Not his loss his life. He made us stronger and he brought us together." Misako says as Wu looks at her.
"I am Lloyd Garmadon. Son of Lord Garmadon." Lloyd says.
"Student of Sensei Garmadon." Wu says.
"He made me who I am today. He was my father. He was my adversary. But in the end he was my friend." Lloyd says.
"Because of him we will live to see tomorrow." Zane says.
"And for every tomorrow we'll live to honor him." Kai says.
"And because of him we'll be ready for whatever comes next." Jay says.
"Skeletons, snakes, Nindroids, and Anacondrai wannabes. If they can't stop us what can?" Cole asks.
"That's for tomorrow to decide. Today we say goodbye to a legend." Lloyd says.
*Timeskip*
Later as Alexis is walking down the hallway she soon spots at Lloyd walking towards her before taking a deep breath and letting it out before going in.
"Hey Lloyd can we talk?" Alexis asks as Lloyd looks up at her.
"Yeah. What's up?" Lloyd asks as he puts down a book he was reading and walks over to Alexis.
"Lloyd I'm truly sorry but I feel like we should break up. I really hope this doesn't effect our friendship. You're like a brother to me. I don't want to lose you because of my stupid mistake." Alexis says sadly.
"Don't worry. It's okay. Yeah I'm disappointed but I was honestly just about to come to your room to say the same thing." Lloyd says as Alexis looks at him shocked.
"Really?" Alexis asks in surprise.
"Yeah. You think I haven't noticed that you care about Cole?" Lloyd says as Alexis gives a shamefully look.
"How long have you known?" Alexis asks.
"For a while. I'm not mad. You were doing it to distract yourself from him weren't you?" Lloyd asks.
"Yeah.. I'm so sorry. I thought I was doing what was best for me but I just couldn't do it. I do care for you but not the same way you do me. Oh man. Now that I say that aloud it just sounds worse. I'm so sorry Lloyd. I understand if you're mad at me for this." Alexis says sadly.
"I know. I understand. It's okay. Don't be sorry. Honestly I would of done the same thing if I was in your position." Lloyd says.
"You would have?" Alexis says in surprise as Lloyd nods.
"Yep. I understand why you did it. I just want you to be happy. We're still friends. We'll just be closer than before is the only difference. I won't ask you to stay. I don't want you to unless you choose to stay because you love me. Asking you to do anything else if you don't feel the same wouldn't be fair to either of us. Why don't you go on back to your room. I'll bring us some snacks and we can watch a movie or something. Just like we used to." Lloyd says as Alexis smiles.
"Sure Lloyd. That sounds amazing." Alexis says as Lloyd smiles.
"Go on. I'll meet you there in a bit." Lloyd says as Alexis nods and leaves to go to her room. Once in her room Alexis then sits down and begins to move the blankets and pillows around on her bed to be more comfortable for her and Lloyd as she hears someone come in.
"Just one more moment Lloyd. I'll have my bed ready in just a sec." Alexis says as she doesn't look to see who walked in assuming it would be Lloyd.
"Wrong person." A voice says as Alexis turns around and sees Cole.
"Cole!? What are you doing here?" Alexis asks.
"We need to talk. Now." Cole says sternly.
"There's nothing for us to talk about." Alexis says as she goes back to fixing her blankets and pillows.
"You're lying. I know better. Or at least now I do anyway. Lloyd told me the truth about your feelings towards me. He was just waiting for you to come clean to him before he would let me make a move to talk to you about this. Trust me. When he told me I wanted to talk to right away but he wanted you to come clean to him first about it just to make sure he wasn't wrong in his assumption. Looks like he was right." Cole says as Alexis looks at him angrily.
"So what if he was right Cole? You don't care about me anyway. You care about Nya. What good is Lloyd being right about my feelings if it won't change anything between you and me? Just leave me alone. You know and that's well enough. I feel like an idiot as it is." Alexis says angrily as she looks down.
"You're not an idiot. If anything I'm an idiot. I'm more than an idiot I'm a jerk. I should of noticed you feeling the way you did and I didn't. I can't imagine how that must of felt on you when I would be around Nya." Cole says as he gives Alexis a sad look.
"No Cole you don't know how that felt. I got with Lloyd because I knew that it may ruin my friendship with you and there was no point if you cared about Nya. Just leave me be. I don't want your pity. You don't care about me that way so leave it alone. I just wanna be left alone for the evening in peace." Alexis says as she tries to leave the room but Cole steps in front of the door blocking it.
"No. You're gonna hear me out and listen to me whether you want to or not. I'll fight you to keep you in this room if I have to Alexis." Cole says as he crosses his arms and gives a serious expression.
"Why do you even care Cole!? What good is it gonna do? You love Nya so why can't you just let me be in peace?" Alexis asks angrily.
"Alexis I don't love Nya. I love you." Cole says as Alexis looks at him.
"What?" Alexis asks.
"Look I was honestly doing the same thing you were doing. Trying to focus on someone else because I was worried of what would happen if the truth did come out. I'm an idiot for not noticing you felt that way. I'm so sorry for how I made you feel. I really jealous when I would see you with Lloyd. I didn't know you felt that way until Lloyd talked to me. But he wanted to wait and let you come clean with him first. Just to make sure he wasn't wrong even though he was really sure he was right." Cole says as Alexis looks down angrily.
"Cole don't lie to me just to make me happy. I don't want you lying to me. Look I made a mistake caring for you that way. I'm sorry. Just let me be. Okay? You won't have to hear about it again. What are you doing!?" Alexis shouts as she tries to leave before Cole pushes her against the wall and pins her arms above her head before kissing her on the lips. Alexis then then tries to struggle against Cole but stops after having no luck against him before relaxing and kissing back as he then pulls away from her leaving Alexis blushing.
"Still think I'm lying?" Cole asks.
"Somewhat. Anyone can kiss a person." Alexis says as Cole sighs.
"Well then how about this? Will you be my girlfriend? That is if you think you can put up with an idiot like me after what I put you through." Cole says as he lets Alexis go.
"Cole I don't know what to say." Alexis says in shock.
"Just say yes." Cole says as Alexis smiles and nods.
"Yes." Alexis says as Cole smiles.
"Good. Now I can make up for lost time with taking you out on a date. Anything you wanna do or maybe wanna go eat somewhere?" Cole asks happily.
"How about we just watch a movie instead? You don't gotta spend money on me Cole." Alexis says as Cole walks over to her.
"I know but I want to. But watching a movie at home sounds pretty good to for a start." Cole says.
"About time you two got together!" Jay shouts from outside the room.
"Jay knew too? How many people knew that you liked me?" Cole asks as he looks toward the door before back at Alexis.
"Just Jay and Lloyd." Alexis says as she smiles slightly.
"There's popcorn on the kitchen table guys!" Lloyd shouts from outside the room as Alexis and Cole look at the door.
"Well anyways let's go get our snacks then we can watch a movie." Cole says as he gestures for Alexis to follow.
"Yeah. Before Kai beats us to it." Alexis says as she leaves the room with Cole.
