"That's... that's the thing I fought!" Mage turned to Lulloyd, "What's going on, why is it all beaten up?!"

"I don't know..." Lulloyd gripped the railing, "But... this is bad."

"You said the Emperor did this, right?" Monty turned to Sun, "Right?!"

"Yes," Sun remained unphased by Monty's harsh tone and angry look, "The Emperor fought this beast and disposed of it himself. He is an incredibly powerful being. He did not conquer Ninjago without showing how powerful he truly is."

"I have never seen that before," Garmadon looked down to the machine, "If you know something about it, tell us now. If we are in danger from just its scraps, we must know."

"If, it's empty you don't have anything to worry about," Lloyd gulped, "That thing is called the Iron Doom. It's the vessel that my Time Twins were using to travel from world to world. It used to be filled with thousands of snakes to make it move but, it's empty now. The... The Emperor must have just destroyed it."

"Yes," Garmadon eyed Lloyd, then turned around, "Nya, lower anchor! Kai, Cole, Jay, without the Shadow we'll have to do this by hand. Get the tools you need and take the anchor down. Zane, get the list of what we need and have it ready. We must do this quickly before they realize that we're here. The Bounty's cloak will only protect us for so long."

"Yes sir!" The ninja shouted, then collectively dispersed.

"Do you want us to help?" Mage turned around, "I can use some elemental power!" His eyes turned gunmetal as his arm turned metal, "I can easily rip metal off that thing!" In response, Garmadon eyed Mage, the worry of sending a child clearly showing on his face.

"That could be very useful for us," Sun turned to Garmadon, "I have seen him in battle. He was able to take on an entire fleet of Nindroids on his own. It was an amazing feat."

"He may go," Garmadon turned to him, "Mage, was it? The others will direct you to what they need. I would like to keep the rest of you back. I have several questions I would like to ask you."

"Uhm... sure," Lloyd agreed awkwardly, "We're glad to answer anything you have to ask."

"Sun, you stay behind as well," Garmadon turned to him, "I can already sense they have many questions about you."

"Indeed they should," Sun chuckled, "They asked if you were my father."

"Oh?" Garmadon gave a small smile, one that not even Monty could read, "Then perhaps we should see more of what... 'misconceptions' that they have."

With that, the other ninja began to get to work. Nya dropped anchor, and Mage leapt over by Kai, Cole and Jay, giving them a giggle and letting them start climbing down before floating down with gravity instead, earning him their shocked gazes. Zane picked up a tablet and began typing in things quickly, pulling up a list and radioing down to the team at the Iron Doom. Garmadon took them down into what was normally the dining room just underneath the cockpit, which they all found was instead filled with massive racks of armor, weapons, and various tools for the group. Sun guided them to a small table and allowed them to all take a seat. Once they all had, Sun stood behind Garmadon as he leaned towards the group.

"Let us work here on the assumption that what you say is true," Garmadon narrowed his eyes, "Explain to me everything about your quest."

"Is that necessary?" Monty yawned, "It's a waste of time."

"It is indeed the opposite," Sun shook his head at Monty, "As much as I trust you after fighting alongside you, your appearances and abilities have left us confused. I would like to know more about you."
