Day of the Departed: Loss of a Lifetime

by Sensei Garmadead

What if Master Yang closed the circle in time? What will happen to Cole? Will he be able to get revenge on Yang and find intangible help from someone? - My au starts after the Royal Blacksmiths finish singing and Cole is going to Sensei Yang's temple. I hope you enjoy it, once I publish the actual beginning of my au (after the first chapter)!

I will be continuing from this part of the official Day of the Departed special episode. The next chapter will be the actual beginning of my alternate universe.

Thank you,
Sensei Garmadead
Your dead sensei loves you.

Wu and the ninja are outside the museum with Dr. Saunders. Wu Dr. Saunders, "thank you so much for such an informative tour, Dr. Saunders. -shakes Krux's hand then pause to turn around- Ninja, at the eclipse's peak, we will return here for the concert, but first, we must go forth and honor those we have lost—those who have departed.

The Ninja walk down the stairs to their vehicles. First, the scene cuts to Cole for a moment.

Cole: They don't realize I'm gone. Maybe—I'm departed!

Cole steals the Yin Blade and drives off with it. Next, the scene switches to the Ninja, all except Jay, driving together. Jay is flying the Ultra Stealth Raider Jet.

Kai: See you guys soon!
Nya: Happy Day of the Departed!

The four Ninja split. Lloyd and Misako let their lantern fly away for Garmadon, Kai and Nya let their's go for their parents, Zane's for Dr. Julien, and Jay visits his adoptive parents. Finally, Wu raises his cup of Rememberance to his father then takes a sip of it. The scene switches back to Cole for a couple seconds while he's still driving. Back in Ninjago City, Cole's dad is shown looking around and speaking aloud, his voice first sounding sorrowful.

"Cole. Cole, where are you?" He sighs and his voice tone lifts up to his usual deep voice.

Lou continues, looking up in the corners of his eyes while thinking, "my son was gonna meet me before the show, to light a lantern." Then they sing while the scene reveals Cole still driving. It cuts back to the Royal Blacksmiths.

Gave you your voice~
Gave you your soul~
The music in your heart~
Now my heart is gone~
To pieces~
Pieces~
Pieces~
Pieces~
Pieces~

Cole arrives at Yang's Temple. . .

Thank you for reading! If you didn't read the note before the story, the next chapter will be the beginning of my actual alternate universe. :) I don't have a schedule for publishing chapters yet, but hopefully I can make one once I get a laptop. lol I'm almost done paying one off, so I should get it today (as of typing this, 5-14-18). I might have to also pay or wifi though, so I might be able to only type offline and get ahead while I get more money, etc. I have a job, so I hope I can get my story out as soon as possible.

Thank you,
