Chapter 11: The Cave
A few hours later, Jonathan woke up. He groaned as he sat up. The pain in his arm was worse, but he could still move it, so it wasn't broken.
He surveyed his surroundings: all he could see were the edges of the cliff and the blackness in head of that. Then a thought struck him. Where was the light coming from that enabled him to see the cliff?
He whirled around and saw a cave with a dull glow emitting from it. He wandered forward into the mouth of the cave. And there, far down the passage was an opening. He couldn't believe his luck. Out of all the places he could have fallen, he fell in place with an easy escape.
Jonathan half ran, half stumbled to the opening. A day most of passed, because it was early morning. Once again, he was lost, but he wasn't lost underground at least. He had survived before, he could do it again, he thought to himself.
Again, he looked around. He couldn't believe his eyes. There, in front of him was the Monument.
"Yes!" yelled Jonathan. "I did it!"
He ran toward it and he quickly found his way to the launch area. Never had he been so happy to see the orange and grey well-trodden road. When he reached the launch area, he rocketed straight to Nimbus Station, ready to report for the Sentinels once more.
Chapter 12: Returning
His rocket touched down and ran down the green path. He reached Nimbus Plaza in seconds. No one was there.
"Hello?" he asked. "Anyone here?"
Jonathan had no idea what was going on. The usually crowded Nimbus Station was deserted. He searched the concert: no one. Then he smelled smoke. He whirled around and saw flames and thick dark smoke coming from the race area. Jonathan took out his feeble squirt gun and ran over toward the fire.
At the Race Place, a huge meteor sat in a crater on the ground. Maelstrom creatures covered the ground and the race track blazed. Up ahead, the Nexus Gate was opened and the spaceship was gone. Jonathan thought he knew the answer: Maelstrom had infiltrated Nimbus Station somehow, and everyone had to evacuate. But it didn't add up. How had the Maelstrom gotten there in the first place? He knew one thing, though. He had to get out of there.
As he ran back to the launchpad, a colossal force blew him off his feet and an enormous explosion sounded. Another Maelstrom meteor had landed.
Jonathan put in tons of extra fuel in his rocket so he that he would be able to reach Planet Crux, and from there Nexus Tower, where probably the citizens if Nimbus Station were.
He blasted off as another meteor crashed into Nimbus Plaza. Jonathan shivered. What was happening?
Chapter 13: Nexus Tower
Jonathan flew through the Nimbus System to far away Planet Crux. As he got closer, he saw the millions of pieces of the destroyed planet. He touched down on a rock. In the distance stood Nexus Tower, with the red spaceship right next to it.
Jonathan looked around in his backpack for some more fuel to get him to Nexus Tower. He found what he needed and poured the tank in and made a makeshift launchpad for his rocket. He jumped in and blasted off again toward the tower.
Instantly, he knew something was wrong. He was flying way to fast. He pulled on his lever to put on the breaks. He slowed down but not nearly enough. He knew he had to make it to one of the 3 launchpads to get inside. But at the rate he was going, crashing through the wall might work, too.
Jonathan was nearing to close. He saw only one risky solution left: kill the engine. He shut it off and the results were almost immediate. The rocket lost altitude but quickly began to nose dive downward to the middle launchpad.
Then he lurched his body hardly to the right and jumped. The rocket flew below and exploded and Jonathan fell on to the launchpad. He was breathing heavily and he stood up. The commotion got a few Nexus recruits out of the tower. They helped him into the building.
"Where do you need to go?" asked one of the recruits.
"I need to get to the Sentinel level immediately. I must speak with Duke Exeter. "replied Jonathan.
"Level 3. Just take that elevator up ahead."
"Thank you!" said Jonathan and he hurried off to the elevator.
Once inside, he pressed the "3" button and the elevator slid smoothly upward. The doors opened and Jonathan stepped out. He was definitely on the Sentinel level. Gold and blue covered the walls. And near a shiny metallic desk was Duke Exeter himself.
Duke was studying a map of the Nimbus System. When Jonathan walked over, he looked up. "Hello, Jonathan. My generals have told me much about you. You were lost, I hear?"
"Yes...."
"Well you're here now!" said Duke. "We need, if you got them, your notes on the spider boss. "
Jonathan rummaged around in his backpack and pulled out his journal. He handed it to Duke. "Thank you. Because of your help, we may be able to defeat the Spider Boss!"
"Thank you, Duke." Jonathan said, and he headed for the door.
"Wait!" said Duke after him. "Feel free to stay. You have nowhere else to go. I'm assuming you have seen Nimbus Station? The Maelstrom has attacked through its barriers. This shows they are getting stronger. You mustn't go out there. And I want to hear your story."

Chapter 14: The Maelstrom's Rising
"The Maelstrom has been given a power surge. Never have they been powerful enough to take over Nimbus Station after the first battle." said Duke Exeter to a large group of Nexians. "Baron Typhonus is growing stronger, too strong. We most retake Nimbus Station. It is home to many minifigures and it is a vital safe world for all of us. We must drive them out.
"I will send an army immediately. Those who wish to join this army may follow me."
Jonathan and many other stood up and walked to Duke Exeter. "We're ready." they said.
Duke led his army out into the main hallway. There they were joined by the other faction leaders and there faction armies. Even Bob was there, alive and well.
"Does everyone here have a rocket?" asked Bob.
Everyone except Jonathan said yes. Jonathan was given a new rocket and the huge group went to the 3 launchpads outside the tower and launched to Nimbus Station.
As they drew closer, they saw that Nimbus Station had taken on a dull, purple glow - a sign of the Maelstrom.
When they were close to landing, some rockets were zapped from the sky. Minifigs crash landed to the ground. Some, like Jonathan, landed safely.
The instant Jonathan landed; he was overtaken by tons of Maelstrom creatures. Some he had never even seen before. Minifigs everywhere fought for their lives.
The Nexus Force was winning. The battle was tough, but the Maelstrom was no match for the well trained minifigures. The last creatures were being smashed. Everyone took on a last dragon in the Plaza and destroyed it.
As they cheered, Jonathan went over to the Race Place. Everything was in ruins. Purple meteors covered the ground along with various bricks. He searched wreckage for nothing in particular. He knew this would take a long time to repair.
All of a sudden, the sound of a howling wind erupted and Jonathan was blown back by an unknown force.
He could still hear the other minifigures cheering behind him. That meant they had felt or heard the weird things.
He was alone.
"I see greatness in you...” said a dark voice. “It's a shame to put an end to you....”
A bright light shown then blackness.
Chapter 15: The Darkitect
Purple streaks ran through the night. Jonathan was terrified. Who was this? He wished his guess was wrong. His guess was that this was Baron Typhonus, the Darkitect and controller of the Maelstrom itself.
"You have shown much bravery in the past days," whispered the voice.
Jonathan drew back. A purple cloud of smoke misped in front of him and the Darkitect appeared.
Again, blackness.
