Note: I do not own Ninjago or it's characters, I only own my OC. Otherwise zane wouldn't of died in the last episode.

(Mel's POV)

There we were, stuck on the Dark Island with no way off and Lloyd, the Green Ninja, injured. Kai and the other Ninja stared over the ocean, where the black clouds now symbolizing Ninjago were looming. I sat next to Lloyd as Dr. Julien wrapped his injured leg. "Can I still fight?" Lloyd asked. Dr. Julien shook his head sadly, "I'm sorry, that leg will take weeks to heal." "We don't have weeks!" Lloyd exclaimed, then grimaced in pain. "Let me see what I can do..." I placed my hands on his leg and said a healing spell, mostly healing it. "That's the best I can do, it's still injured but at least you can walk now." I said, removing my hands. He smiled and hugged me, "Thank you, Mel!" Dr. Julien and I helped Lloyd stand up and we walked over to the group. "There has to be some message to learn. A lesson. A word of wisdom? Just a word? Something!" Kai pleaded. Sensei Wu just shook his head and sighed, "For once, there is nothing to learn. Other than, evil has won."

Everyone looked across the ocean at our home under attack. "Well, if Sensei doesn't have a lesson then I do. I used to be nothing but trouble then I met you guys. You took me in, you taught me the importance of being brave, the importance of being strong. And most importantly, being good." He tried to place his foot on the ground, but grimaced again, "When the first Spinjitzu Master battled the Overlord, and his back was against the wall and he knew it was all over, did he quit? No, he found a way to keep the fight going. He passed his elemental powers to us, of all people a bunch of kids! There must've been a reason he chose us. I like to think its because he knew we'd never back down, we'd never give up! We've learned the ancient ways of the ninja, and Ninja Never Quit!" Kai stood up, "He's right. Even if that means we have to swim the sea to get off this island, then so be it." He started to walk into the water as Jay spoke nervously, "The ENTIRE ocean?! But I didn't bring my floaties.." "Really Jay? Floaties?" I asked. "What?" "Well if you've got a better plan..." Cole interrupted. Then Zane spoke up, "I don't, but he may." He pointed to the sky, where the falcon was gliding. "The falcon! He must've found something!" Dr. Julien said. Cole turned to me, "Mel, how many people can you carry at once?" "As many as needed." I replied. I shifted into a large white dragon and everyone climbed on.

We followed the falcon to a familiar mountain and up to the top where the Temple of Light was located. Everyone climbed off as Zane said, "He brought us back to the Temple of Light. I do not understand, we've already been here." Misako pulled out a scroll and looked between it and the Temple, "This location...I've seen this before. I just..never understood it." Everyone walked inside and looked around at the large space, from the walls that showed our past adventures to the pillars from which we gained our elemental kimonos and blades. Kai walked over to one of the pillars and noticed something unusual. "I think I found something! It's just like the map!" He drew his blade and inserted into the slot. "There's one more over there." Sensei pointed out. "And here." Dr. Julien said. "And over here!" said Misako. The other three Ninja drew their blades and inserted them into the individual slots, then a loud grinding noise was heard. "What is it?!" Kai asked. Everyone on the center circle backed off as a dusty golden Mech rose from the ground. "Cool!" Jay exclaimed. "It's the fighting suit the First Spinjitzu Master used when he battled the Overlord." Misako explained. Cole climbed up the Mech and sat in the cockpit, "You mean the First Spinjitzu Master once sat here! Get outta here! How do you make this thing work?" Dr. Julien sighed, "I think time has done her in, she's only a relic now." Sensei Wu walked up and gently touched the Mech's arm, "If it worked for the First Spinjitzu Master, then maybe it'll work for the next Spinjitzu Master..." "It's worth a shot." Lloyd said as he climbed up. Cole climbed out of the cockpit as Lloyd climbed it. "Hey, watch out!" Cole called down.. Lloyd moved several of the levers, but nothing happened. "Huh, nothin." he said, then the Mech powered on. The Mech glowed gold and slowly moved, everyone gasped in awe at the sight. "Woah!" Cole yelled. "Lookin' good!" Kai called. "Aw, killer!" Jay exclaimed. "Amazing." Zane said. "How does the leg feel now?" Sensei called. "Stronger!" Lloyd replied, moving the Mech's right leg before raising a glowing sword in triumph. "Well, I know how he's getting to Ninjago, but what about us?" Misako asked. "Mel can't fly us that far of a distance without using all of her energy." Zane reminded. Just then, everyone heard a familiar roar in the distance. "Hey I know that sound...it's our Dragon!" Jay cheered. "I believe we just found our way off this rock." Sensei said. Everyone raced outside as Ultra Dragon landed, Lloyd following in his new Mech. "I can carry a few people so Ultra Dragon's not crowded." I said. They nodded and agreed, I shifted into a dragon and Jay, Zane and Dr. Julien climbed on. The rest climbed onto Ultra Dragon and we took off. Lloyd kept flying past us, cheering and laughing in his Mech. "He sure is having fun." I smiled.

Then we crossed the ocean and started to fly over the black and purple clouds. Kai yelled out, "I see Ninjago, we're not far away!" I felt a growing bad feeling as I saw the darkest part of the clouds. "Are you sure that's Ninjago?" Cole asked nervously. Lloyd dove into the dark clouds to investigate, Ultra Dragon and I dove in after him. As soon as we broke through the clouds, we came face to face with a large skyscraper with the roof glowing a dark purple. "What is that thing?!" Kai asked. "Garmatron." Sensei replied. "It's turned into a fortress?" Misako asked. "But where's the Overlord?" Dr. Julien pointed out. Lloyd flew to the streets with us right behind him, I didn't want to turn away from the fortress for I could feel the Overlord lurking on the rooftop. We landed on the streets and everyone climbed down; Kai, Jay and Cole looked around the corner and saw the inhabitants of Ninjago City possessed and wandering aimlessly. "He's turned everyone evil!" Kai said. "Just like Nya!" Jay realized. "And now they're helping his cause!" Cole said. "I think they're mostly just wandering around." I said. They turned and stared at me. "It's true." I muttered, looking at the ground. "I can't wait to see the look on the Overlord's face when he gets a load of us!" Cole said, just before a loud siren went off. Everyone turned and watched in horror as a large dragon erupted from the Garmatron, a blast of Dark Matter heading straight for us. Everyone jumped back as it landed on the street directly in front of us. "Is that the look you were hoping for?" Zane asked. "Zane, no." Jay replied. Misako stared at the dragon, "The metamorphosis is complete! The Overlord's changed into his original form." "How are we going to get to the top?" Cole asked. "He will attack if we fly directly to the top." I said. "We have my father's Golden Mech, we'll have to draw their fire to help Lloyd get to the top." Cole nodded, "We here ya loud and clear." "I'll fight with Lloyd on the ground, try to hit anyone trying to stop us." They nodded and everyone climbed onto Ultra Dragon, except for Zane. "Uh, Mel? I have something I've been wanting to tell you..." he said, turning slightly pink. "Yes, Zane?" I asked, hopeful. I've had a huge crush on him ever since I first met him, I've always wanted to say something but bailed before I could. I've always hoped he felt the same way I did. "Uh..be careful." He rushed onto the dragon and they flew off, leaving me a little disappointed. "Oh..okay. I guess..." I muttered. The dragon flew at the Garmatron, dodging flaming saws and arrows. "Let's go." Lloyd said. I shifted into a large silver wolf and walked beside him through the empty streets. Once the coast was clear, we charged. Lloyd brought out his sword and cut through the wall, I attacked right away, taking down at least ten as Lloyd swiped at thirty. "Ninjaaa-oh! No!" I turned and saw the Mech's arm was blasted off. Lloyd was defenseless, we heard a harsh laugh from above and saw it was Dark Nya. A few more hits and the Golden Mech collapsed, I rushed over and guarded Lloyd as he climbed out of the cockpit. The stone army surrounded us as the Ninja jumped from Ultra Dragon. "I'm okay!" Lloyd called. "Yeah, but are we?" Jay said nervously.

The army charged and we dodged swords and arrows, until the siren was heard. Everyone looked up and saw the darkness head straight for us. "ICE!" Zane yelled, creating an ice shield around us. "Good job, Zane!" Jay called. But then shots were heard, shattering the ice shield. "FIRE!" Kai yelled, intercepting the blast causing a large explosion midair. Nya screamed at us, then left to reload. "I know we've always drawn a crowd, but this is ridiculous!" Jay joked as we fought the stone warriors. "How can you be making jokes at a time like this?!" Kai yelled at him. "Hey, if I'm going down, might as well go down laughing!" He retorted. "If this is how we're going to go down, I'm proud to fighting along side my brothers and sister." Zane said. "Here here!" Jay cheered. "You're the best brothers any girl could ask for!" I said. "Keep fighting! Never give up!" Lloyd yelled. "Ninja Never Quit!" Kai yelled. We battled the warriors, dodging and deflecting blades, using spinjitzu, until shots were heard. Nya fired at us, and with one blast, knocked us all to the ground. Everyone crawled back to back and deflected the warriors' katanas. "We're doomed, guys!" Jay cried. The warriors brought back their swords for the final blow, when they froze directly above our heads.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stood up. "What happened?" Kai asked. "They are frozen." Zane replied. "But why?" I asked. Suddenly, the stone army general yelled out, "All hail the brown ninja! What do you command?!" Everyone was confused. "Brown ninja?!" Jay asked in disbelief. Ultra Dragon landed and everyone saw Dareth wearing the Helmet of Shadows, "Was up, fellas? Guess we all know who's in command now!" "The helmet controls the army, well done!" Cole realized. "Now that means we stand a fighting chance!" Jay cheered. "I need to get to the top of that fortress! I may not be able to get there by myself, but with your help I can face him!" Lloyd said. Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane pulled out their elemental blades as the six of us cheered, "NINJAAA GO!" The four blades connected and the elements came to life. Dareth walked over, "Where did you get those? I want one!" Kai smiled and handed him his blade, "You two, brown ninja. Today, you're one of us. Shall we do this once more? Just for old times sake?" He held up the blade and yelled, "Ninja go!" Dareth turned to the army, "Army about face!" The army turned and faced the stairway. "Stone army, go!" The army charged up and we followed behind. I led the way, Kai and Zane behind me with Jay and Cole supporting Lloyd.

Several flights up, the siren was heard. I looked up and saw a large mass of Dark Matter plummeting straight for Lloyd. "Look out!" Jay and I screamed. Lloyd was pulled out of the way, but Cole was hit. His skin started to turn ashen gray and his kimono turned purple. "Cole! Come on, get up!" Lloyd pleaded. "I-I'm hit! Go! Go on...without me!" He fell to his knees as Kai said, "We need to move, now!" Jay carried Lloyd as we left Cole behind. Several more flights up, the siren was heard again. Before I could turn, Lloyd screamed, "Jaaaay!" "Get out of the way!" Jay yelled as he started to turn gray. "Don't look, just keep climbing!" Kai told Lloyd as he and Zane carried him up. 'He keeps targeting Lloyd, he won't stop till he's hit' I turned to the last three, "You take Lloyd to the top, I'll distract the Overlord." They nodded, but Lloyd looked completely frightened. I gave him a hug, "Good luck, Lloyd." I shifted into my dragon form and flew up to the top where a large black and purple dragon waited. His smile was more of a snarl, showing his long, sharp, white teeth. "You're not the Green Ninja, why bother fighting me if you're going to lose anyway?!" the Overlord mocked. I snarled back, "I may not be the chosen one, but I will protect my family. Even if it costs me my life!" I lunged at him, the battle turning into a whirlwind of claws and wings. But then he pinned me down, his claws digging into my wings, puncturing them. "You're a fool for challenging me!" He dragged his claws down, slicing open my wings. I screamed in pure pain as I felt warm blood soak my wings. I kicked him off me, then I froze when I heard Zane a few flights below us. My heart stopped as the Overlord turned to the sound of his voice and smiled. "NO!" I screamed. I spread out my damaged wings to protect them, but it was his plan all along. Before I could react, he drew back and sliced my chest open. I screamed as warm blood streamed through the deep wounds, I lost my balance and toppled off the rooftop. As I plummeted down, I saw Zane get hit with Dark Matter and Kai battle his sister. I crashed onto the cement and screamed out in agony, but somehow remained conscious. I slowly shifted back to my human form, feeling the wounds change from my wings to my arms. I didn't dare look at the damage done, all I could do was watch the Final Battle unfold above me.
