Cole awoke to see that he's laying on the sand.

He then saw a small bottle beside him.

It has a small scroll in it.

He sat up and opened the bottle and took out the scroll to read it.

Questions were swirling in his head as he did this.

'Was it a dream?'

'Was he really here?'

'What's going on?'

He then saw what was written.

"Keep that magical smile." It said.

Cole then smiled.

He got up and brought the bottle with him.

He quickly went to his room to pretend he slept there last night.

Hours Later...

Cole woke up to check what time it is.

He looked at his clock to see its 1:30 PM.

He realized he took a nap and skipped lunch.

He got up and took a shower and put on his black ninja gi.

He walked to the kitchen to eat half of the meat loaf that was left for him.

After that, he sat on the couch and tried to calm down.

He couldn't believe about what just happened last night.

Lloyd was there. He knew it but where did he go?

Was it a dream? A vision?

His thoughts were cut off when he saw Jay walked in.

"Hey." Jay greeted simply.

Cole smiled.

"Yo." Cole greeted back.

"I..um..sorry for...hurting you." Jay apologized as he sat beside Cole.

"It's ok...I understand." Cole accepted the apology.

"Alex told me everything." Jay said.

"She did?" Cole's eyes widen from shock.

Jay nodded and leaned on Cole's shoulder.

"Are we still besties?" Cole asked,hugging Jay.

"Yes..I love you Cole..as a best friend." Jay hugged back.

"Same here Blue Jay." Cole said back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cole decided to go to his room and look out his window.

He felt the cool breeze.

It made him feel happy.

That was then until he heard an eerie laugh.

Cole gulped.

He felt a presence in his room.

He turned around to see Darkness smirking.

"What the HELL do you want, Diego?" Cole growled.

"Just to visit my little pawn..just you wait Cole...your friends will die at my hands and you will be ALL ALONE." Darkness answered.

Cole felt a shiver went down his spine.

He's afraid of being alone.

With no one else to hold.

"I am not alone. I still have Jay and Alex and my family!" Cole said back.

Darkness smiled.

He just floated to a picture on a wall.

Cole crossed his arms and turned away.

"You'll never hurt me or my friends! You will NEVER take over NINJAGO!" Cole said.

"Really? I just had started the killing (Lloyd)." Darkness smirked.

Cole gasped from realization but refused to show he's afraid.

"Just you wait Nicholas...soon you will be left with no one but YOURSELF." Darkness laughed and disappeared.

Cole looked at the picture Darkness was looking at.

The picture on the wall.

It showed Jay on the edge smiling like an idiot and Alex  laughing above him and Lloyd beside Alex, smiling a simple smile.

The part where Lloyd is at had a claw mark on it.
