At the base the Resistance celebrate Lloyd's speech.

"To the Resistance! May it never quit!" Karlof shouts

"The Resistance never quits!" The others repeat except for Aria who is typing away on a computer on her bed

Dareth sighs "Boy. Must've been awesome to be there. I wish I could've—"

"it was great! We couldn't have planned it better!" Nya says excitedly

"The whole city heard the broadcast thanks to Aria's hacking" Skylor adds happily

"I'll toast to that!" Paleman shouts

Skylor smiles "But hats off to Lloyd. Without his words, and his leadership, let's just say hope is a powerful thing"

"This is just the start. I couldn't have done it without your power and your help. We have to show we're more than words. Now we fight. And I'm not gonna lie to you. We need an army. Has anyone heard from the Master of Form?" Lloyd asks

"I think, uh, how do you say...She is "bad girl" now" Karlof tells him

"What about Bolobo?" Nya asks

"Ultra Violet hunted down the Master of Nature early on" Skylor replied

Dareth smiled "Ah! Maybe it's time the Brown Ninja—"

"What about the Serpentine?" Lloyd asks

"After seeing how the Time Twins abused those snakes, they say they wanna sit this one out" Griffin replied

"Okay. Let's start brainstorming a list on who else can help" Lloyd instructs

"I can help" Dareth says

Lloyd looks at him "That would be great. Can you get us a blackboard and some refills? This could take some time"

Dareth sighed "Yeah, okay, right, sure. I'll get over—Yeah. Sure, office supplies."

Later on Lloyd walks over to Aria "where'd you get the computer from?"

"made it" Aria replied without looking at him

"Hey" Lloyd grabbed her hand and she looked at him "Is something wrong?"

"Not really, just confused" Aria tells him honestly "I have two paths to take as the cursed child, I think I know which one I want to take, but I'm not sure"

"Well pick whichever one you think is right for yourself" Lloyd hugs her "and I'll still be here"

"what if i chose evil?" Aria asks him honestly

"then at least it's your decision and nobody's forcing you to" Lloyd tells her and kisses her forehead "You'll still be my Aria, even if i have to pick you up from jail a million times you're still my girl and no amount of evil deeds will change who I know you are"

Aria smiled "thanks Lloyd" she hugs him tightly "I love you"

Lloyd smiles sadly "I love you too... so.. so much"
