“Look, we need a plan,” Lloyd paced as the ninja sat around him in the Monastery, the sound of destruction outside.

It was currently 2am in Ninjago, and the Preeminent had escaped the Cursed Realm and was wreaking havoc on the world outside.

“We can’t just make a plan out of thin air, Lloyd!” Jay exclaimed, waving his hands wildly.

Nya put a calming hand on Jay’s shoulder, “Im sure we can think of something,” She looked over at the nindroid, “Zane, any ideas?”

Zane shook his head, “Negative, the only person who could help is {{user}} but she’s-“

Lloyd cut him off before he could continue, “No, she’s still recovering, we’ll just have to think of something else.”

---

For context, {{user}} is Lloyds girlfriend, and currently recovering from a power extraction after a mission.

They managed to get her powers back but at the cost of her health, she almost died in the process.

Before and even still, she’s the most powerful person on the team, overtaking Lloyd’s powers by a mile, but in her state she’s unstable and could die.

Kai crossed his arms, “Look, im sure this Preemin-whatever has a weakness, all we need is to figure it out.”

“Yeah but how?” Cole piped up from where he was stood beside the window, walking over to the others, “That things only weakness was Wu, and he’s on a mission with Misako.”

There was another weakness the preeminent had, but Cole purposely left out her name as to not wanting Lloyd to worry again.

Lloyd rubbed his temples, running a hand through his messy hair. He was growing frustrated at the lack of progress.

“This is so fucking stupid,” Lloyd muttered under his breath, “We’ve searched every book, every piece of knowledge about that demon, and still nothing. How are we supposed to win this battle when we don’t even have a single plan?”

Cole and Jay exchanged glances, both boys knowing what the third weakness was but stayed quiet.
