"Jay?" Nya called out as she looked down an alleyway before turning to a middle aged man. "Uh, excuse me, did you see a guy pass by?" She asked. "A little taller than me, brown hair, eyepatch?"

"No, sorry, ma'am." The man replied before walking away as Nya kept moving along, hoping to find Jay.

Once he had finished tearing up the warehouse, a completely relieved Cole was about to head home when he saw the evening edition of the Daily Bugle on display of a newspaper dispenser. It had a photo of Rocking Earth being thrown out of the ring by Spider-Man. The headline said, 'Rocking Earth Pummelled.' Angered at the sight of it, the now angered one time wrestler punches it, breaking the glass and causing some quarters to come out before he resumed moving along.

In an instant, Zane almost regretted walking away from Pixal and Zach. Even though she really loved him despite having a disability and being a robot, it felt like she didn't care anymore, but Zane on the other hand, he felt it was wrong. While waiting in the subway train home, he turned to his left to see a young woman talking to her tired son. "How about some ice cream?" She asked, and the boy instantly widened his eyes upon hearing those two words. Zane soon remembered the day when he and Pixal first met, she accidentally dropped ice cream on the back of his shirt while he was tying his shoe.

"Maybe I should get some ice cream myself." Zane said to himself before turning around to head back up the stairs.

Jay groaned as he opened his remaining eye to find himself in a small room where there was nothing in it. He slowly but surely got up, and looked around. "Hello?" He called out, but it was almost as if the walls were soundproof.

Pretty soon, part of the wall in front of him opened up, revealing to be a door. He quickly turned around to it before holding out his hands, only to find that his lightning wasn't working. "Your powers won't work in this room, Mr. Watson." The individual spoke as they were about to come in.

Jay was surprised at who his visitor was. "Dr. Smythe?" He asked. "I thought you were dead."

"Oh no. That explosion has left me paralysed from the waist down. And a little birdie told me you wanted your powers gone. We can make it happen."

"How?"

"We have created a device that can extract your powers, back into a Ninjago Crystal." Wilson Fisk was heard as he soon came in.

"Wait. Smythe, you're now working for Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin of Crime?"

"I am merely a legitimate businessman, Watson." Wilson was annoyed at the accusation. "And yes. When Osborn terminated Mr. Smythe, I hired him to help create the device."

"And now, with a power source, compliments of Adrian Toomes before he was incarcerated, it's ready." Alistair said. "Now, are you?"

Jay looked at his hands briefly before shedding a tear from his only eye. "I'll do it." He replied.

Pretty soon, Jay was inside the device as Alistair, Kingpin and Max looked on. "Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?"

"I've got nothing to lose." Jay took in a deep breath and exhaled. "If I don't make it, tell Nya that I've always loved her, even if she doesn't want to talk to me." Alistair soon pressed the button. Jay started to groan as he suddenly glowed before electricity started to come out of him. "Come on! Get out of me!"

As the electricity was slowly being absorbed from him, an alarm was soon heard and the Kingpin turned to see that the Ninjago Crystal was glowing yellow. "The pressure is too much!" He yelled. "Turn it off!"

"No!" Alistair yelled. "We have to keep going!"

Sparks soon came out of the machine as Max notices the whole thing. "Mr. Fisk, watch out!" He yelled, pushing him back before the panel blows up, sending Alistair wheeling back and Max flying. Unfortunately, Max struck the Ninjago Crystal which soon exploded, and the fragments enter his body through his right arm before leaning on the side, shrapnel from the panel entering his body.

Pretty soon, the machine opens up, showing Jay, who was exhausted, and the Kingpin got up to see him exiting before he collapsed on his knees. "Jay." He immediately came up to him. "Are you okay? Did it work?"

Jay looks at his hand. "I think it did."

He slowly stood up before immediately collapsing again, and the Kingpin smirks. "One down, five to go." He turns to some of his men. "Throw him in the river." The men head over to Jay before picking him up, and drag him out.

"What about Max?" Alistair asked as he wheeled himself over to where he landed before becoming completely surprised at his appearance.

—————

"Damn." One of the men said as they drag the unconscious drained teen outside before coming across the jetty. "Who thought he could be so heavy?"

"Just help me throw him." The other man replied as they lift him by his arms and legs, swing him, and throw him into the river with a big splash.
