Part One:
The Older Group (Everyone but Lloyd and Darreth)
Destiny's Bounty 2.0
Third person PoV
Kai, Brook, and Jay practice their newly learned Airjitzu as Ronin, Sensei Wu, and Sensei Garmadon watch. Actually, Kai and Jay are practicing Airjitzu, while Brook is practicing a new kata as Kai tells her. "Once we straighten out everything with Morro and your elemental power of Wind is stable again, we'll teach you." Then he grunts as he tries to use Airjitzu to reach a flag tied to the top of the Bounty's mast. "Seriously!" He exclaims. He tries it again but misses. "Aww, just short. Like your temper, Kai." Ronin says as he lays down next to the flag. Brook rolls her eyes at the bounty hunter as she continues working on the new kata, moving into the jump spinning reverse roundhouse kick. After landing she stumbles and would have fallen on her face had Jay not caught her. "Brook, you really need to take it easy. Remember, your powers over wind are off because of Morro returning." He gently scolds her, leading her over to the side of the deck near where the two senseis are talking. "I wasn't using any elemental powers though, Jay. That was part of the kata that Sensei Wu and Sensei G. had me working on." The young woman replies, panting and gasping softly as she tries to catch her breath. At that moment, Sensei Garmadon approaches and helps Jay ease the younger teen down to the deck floor to sit before handing the girl her inhaler. Unfortunately, she passes out before she can use it. A burst of gold light has everyone closing their eyes. When they reopen them, it's clear they're longer on the Destiny's Bounty 2.0. "Brook! What's wrong with her?" A very familiar voice to the team asks, running towards them with silent footsteps a minute later. Once the figure is close enough it's easy to see that the person is Lloyd. The tow-haired green ninja kneels next to Brook, placing his hand on her forehead and closing his eyes. For a few seconds, a green glow covers Lloyd's hand before dissipating into Brook's skin. Several heartbeats later, she groans softly as her eyelids flutter open. As she tries to push herself up into a seated position an arm slips around her, settling her against a strong chest that rumbles as she hears. "You really scared me for a second there, Love. How are you feeling?" Before Brook can answer her boyfriend, a new group appears screaming and shouting in confusion and fear.
Part Two:
Collecting the Teenage Grandson and the one called Darreth
Near Borg Tower
Lloyd is on his way to the Ninjago Museum of History when a gold-clad figure stops him. "Can I help you, sir?" The youngest ninja asks. "Yes, Lloyd, you can. I will be bringing my sons, your father and uncle, as well as your mother and teammates to watch the past, present, and future. I would like you there as well, grandson." The First Spinjitzu Master tells Lloyd. "Of course, Ojiisan." He immediately replies, realizing who he's speaking with. The two are ensconced in a golden light. When it dissolves they're in a massive living room. Instantly, Lloyd finds his girlfriend and soulmate lying unconscious on the floor and asks his grandfather. "Brook! What's wrong with her?" "There have been some issues with her powers of Wind and it has left her weak and with very little energy. Now, I need to go and gather up the one called Darreth as well as the past versions of my sons, the four core ninja, Nya, Brook, and you. Go help your soulmate, Lloyd, and try to keep her from doing much for now. It will take some time for her elemental powers and life force to restabilize but allowing her body to rest will make it easier. As will her being in physical contact with you." The FSM explains giving his grandson a light push towards the others. Lloyd nods in understanding and runs over to Brook.
The Big Room
Lloyd's PoV
Ojiisan gently pushes me in the direction of the rest of my family and my girlfriend and soulmate, telling me. "Go help your soulmate, Lloyd, and try to keep her from doing much for now. It will take some time for her elemental powers and life force to restabilize but allowing her body to rest will make it easier. As will her being in physical contact with you." I nod to him and run over to Brook. After kneeling on the floor next to her, I gingerly place a hand on her temple. Closing my eyes and frowning at how cold her skin is I focus on sending a small amount of energy into Brook. Feeling the warmth of my power surrounding my hand on her forehead, I smile before allowing it to travel into Brook's body. A few moments later, I hear a soft groan from my girlfriend as she wakes. She starts to push herself into a sitting position and remembering what Grandfather had said, I gently slide an arm around her waist and maneuver her so she's laying back in a semi-reclined position against my chest. "You really scared me for a second there, Love. How are you feeling?" I ask Brook softly, wrapping both arms securely around her waist. Just as she starts to reply, a new group of five appears and four of them begin to scream and shout out of panic, fear, and confusion. The shear strength of the emotions rolling off them makes my head spin and pound painfully. Suddenly, a transparent divider cuts the room in half. No longer able to hear the voices or sense the emotions of the newcomers I sigh in relief. "Son, are you alright?" Dad asks from my left. Turning my head to face him, I see that he's kneeling next to me with pure worry shining in his eyes. "I am now, dad. It's just that the newcomers, they don't know how to shield their emotions from others. Even with my own mental shields up all that fear, confusion and annoyance that they're feeling hit me like the time I flew into that pillar when I was helping you demonstrate 'The Art of the Silent Fist' while the others and I were staying at your monastery during the whole 'The Digital Overlord and Golden Master' fiasco." I explain. "If you're truly sure that you are okay, Lloyd." Father replies uncertainly. "Other than now having a slight headache, I'm fine. If it gets worse I'll let you, Mom, Uncle Wu or one of the others know, I promise." I reassure him. "And if Lloyd doesn't say speak up, I will." Brook adds. Dad nods in agreement to that before asking her. "How are you feeling, Brook? Are you in any pain or having any difficulty breathing at the moment?" Brook smiles tiredly before replying. "I'm actually feeling a little better, Sensei Garmadon, though that's probably because Lloyd's here and our soulbond is stabilizing again." "If either one of you starts to feel any worse, let one of know. Right away, understand?" Dad orders firmly. "Yes, Father/Sensei." We reply in unison. Right after we say that Darreth shows up with cement on one shoe.
Meanwhile
With Darreth
Darreth has just jumped out of the X-1 Prototype to avoid getting caught in the cement too when a golden flash teleports him to another place. Seeing his friends he walks over saying. "Hey, you guys are here too. Do any of you where we are or why we're here?" Lloyd looks up at his family and friends, biting his lip before admitting timidly. "Grandfather told me that we're here to watch the past, present, and future. Didn't he explain before he brought you all here?" Kato looks down at his nervous son, but before he can soothe Lloyd, Zane tells the younger teen gently. "I don't think he had time. We were all spread out over the Destiny's Bounty 2.0 which makes it hard to talk to everyone at the same time." The 15-year-old chuckles softly, replying. "Yeah, it does and Ojiisan said he still has to collect the past versions of everyone but Mom, Pix, Echo, Ronin, and Darreth." "Lloyd, can you help me sit up more, please?" Brook asks quietly. "Sure, are you uncomfortable? Is this position painful for you? Do you need ...?" Lloyd rambles worriedly until his soulmate places a finger against his lips. "I can't cuddle with you as well laying like this, Bones, that's all." She explains lovingly. Relaxing at that Lloyd helps his girlfriend adjust into a better position for cuddling. "Maybe for those of us who are going to have past versions of ourselves here we should use a nickname or something so we don't all get confused." Kai suggests. Wu gives the Master of Fire a nod and a smile as he replies. "That is a very good idea, Kai."
Part Three:
The Younger Son, The Two Students, and Blacksmiths' Children
Ignacia
Four Weapons
The two occupants of the blacksmith shop are enveloped in a flash of gold light and disappear. Nya and Kai reappear in the same place as their future selves at the same time as Wu, Cole, and Jay.
Mountain of Impossible Heights
Monastery of Spinjitzu
Wu is watching two of his students, Cole and Jay, spar when a golden burst of light appears. Once it disperses a figure is revealed. Wu's eyes widen, recognizing the person, but before he can say anything the trio is transported to another place alongside two other teens. He quickly realizes that the brother and sister are the children of his best friend, Ray, and Ray's wife, Maya. Then he remembers that the duo is also his godchildren.
The Big Room
Take Two
The group of five arrive in the room and the four youth start yelling in a panic. Wu is obviously annoyed by the actions of his two students. Suddenly Lloyd grimaces as if in pain until a see-thru barrier is erected between the two groups. A few minutes later the First Spinjitzu Master returns with the final group of four people. One of whom starts another bout of panic in the teens and causes Wu to fall into a fighting stance.
Part Four:
Zane, Brook, Lloyd, and Oni Garmadon
Mountain of Impossible Heights
Remains of the Monastery of Spinjitzu
"If you hadn't followed that silly bird, none of this would've happened!" Kai yells at Zane, who is digging through the charred remains of the monastery. "Kai!" Wu scolds the fire ninja. "No! Sensei, he's right! Because of you, my high score has been deleted!" Jay shouts as Zane continues to hunt. "This is a teaching moment. We must learn from this." Zane mutters absent-mindedly, still looking for what it is that he has lost. "A teaching moment? What's wrong with you? Don't you get it? Everything is gone!" Cole rages at the ice ninja, who has found whatever or rather whoever it is he's been searching for. "Enough! We're all at fault. Zane is your brother. Apologize at once." Wu chastises the other three boys, who all quickly realize the truth to their sensei's words. They turn around to apologize to Zane. "I'm sorry, Zane. I…" Kai says starting to apologize to Zane, only to realize that the white-clad ninja has disappeared. "Zane?" Jay calls in concern. Zane is flying away on Shard, holding a smaller form against him. Suddenly a golden light engulfs the duo, pulling them out of time and causing the world around them to pause.
Destiny's Bounty
The Ninja's Room
Lloyd walks into the older boys' bedroom, looking for his father. The 12-year-old finds him, packing up his things. "You're leaving?" Lloyd asks sadly, just before a third person appears in the room. Garmadon notices the man first. "Father!?" He exclaims in shocks. "Yes, Kato. It is me. I would like to bring you and your son to a place outside of time to watch the past and the future with Wu, his students, Nya, and the future versions of all you, as well as some future allies." The FSM informs his eldest son. Before Garmadon can reply, Lloyd pipes up, asking excitedly. "Does that I can meet myself from the future AND spend some more time with my dad before he leaves, Sofu?" Garmadon looks between his father and his son cautiously, ready to intervene if he has to when Montgomery chuckles and tells Lloyd. "The answer to both of those questions, Grandson, is yes. However, the decision is up to your father." Garmadon, upon realizing that his father is giving him a chance to spend time with his only child without the pressure of the Prophecy of Green Ninja or the Final Battle hanging over them, informs the First Spinjitzu Master. "We'll come with you, Father." Lloyd stares up at his dad and asks in utter awe. "Really, dad?" Garmadon smiles down at his son and replies. "Yes, Musuko, really. I would love to be able to spend some more time with you without the pressure of the future." With that, the three generations of the Garmadon Family travel to The Big Room. Once there the FSM places a barrier between his two sons, well the past versions of them. Kato notices and nods in thanks to his father. Choosing the recliner closest to him, he settles into it before letting Lloyd up to sit in his lap. Then he notices the other two children near him. One is a teenage boy about 16 that Garmadon quickly recognizes as the Master of Ice, Zane. The other is harder for him to place, a young girl who looks to be around 8 or 9, covered in ash, soot, and burns. Eventually, he realizes that the child is Lloyd's friend and soulmate, Brooklynne Swift.
