Lloyd returned, his energy spent after flying over the Endless Sea. He landed with a thud, his breath heavy and ragged as he stumbled back onto the ground. I rushed over, helping him steady himself. "You okay? Did you see any land?" Cole asked, concern in his voice.

Lloyd wiped the sweat from his brow and shook his head. "Just water. I tried to reach the mainland, but it's too far. We won't be able to get off this island on our own." His voice was low, the weight of our situation sinking in as he collapsed onto a nearby rock, catching his breath.

Cole's lips curled into a grin, and before anyone could respond, he raised his voice, ready for an impersonation. "What's so funny about our predicament?" Nya asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Oh, I was just thinking about what Jay might say to that." Cole smirked, then started doing his best Jay impression, flailing his arms dramatically. "You're telling me we went through all that trouble to get the venom to stop Nadakhan, and now we have no way to get off this island!?" He paused, looking around at the others before sighing deeply. "Heh, gone one day and I already miss him spazzing out."

Lloyd cracked a smile, and Nya let out a soft chuckle, despite the tension hanging in the air. "Me too. After he lied to us, I was so hard on him. And now he's captured and all alone. Some friends we are." Her voice softened as she looked down, clearly regretting the way she had treated Jay.

"Hey, Jay's strong. We'll get him back," Lloyd reassured, his voice firm and steady. "It's like what Wu once told me: if you want something bad enough, you find a way to make it happen."

I nodded, my mind already racing with possibilities. "He's right. If we can't fly off this island, we'll build our way out of here. I've seen enough movies to know it's possible." My tone was determined, almost as if the solution was already within reach. I felt a spark of hope—if we couldn't rely on others, we'd have to rely on ourselves.

"And if we've built a rocket off an asteroid, what's one raft a little—" Lloyd started, only to be cut off by Nya, her eyes wide with horror.

"Across an endless sea filled with unknown creatures that wanna eat us?" she blurted out, her voice pitched higher in mock terror. She threw her hands in the air as she exaggerated Jay's panicked tone. "Uh, that was my Jay impression." She took a breath, straightening up. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get building."

Cole, always ready to dive into action, threw a playful punch at Nya's arm. "See? I knew you'd come around."

Nya rolled her eyes but smiled. "Don't get too excited, Cole. We've got a raft to build, and if it's anything like the rocket, I'm not sure how much 'building' will actually happen."

I couldn't help but laugh. Despite the chaos and uncertainty, at least we were in this together. "Let's just make sure no one ends up swimming with the sharks," I said, nudging Cole as we all started to gather the materials.

Lloyd glanced at the horizon, determination flashing in his eyes. "We'll make it work. Jay's counting on us."

"One more round of palm ties, and I'd say she's secure enough for sea." Lloyd said, giving the raft a satisfied pat.

"Why is it all sea vessels are shes?" Nya asked, pausing as if trying to solve the mystery herself. I had never really thought about it either, and now that she brought it up, I was curious.
