(A/N: Ninjago Season 9 officially ends in Australia tomorrow, so I'm uploading this)


"The battle against the Great Devourer." Kai's voice was heard. "It feels like ages ago."


At a restaurant, Geoff, wearing a waiter's outfit, places a plate of food down at a table and the person nods before he sees the karaoke set and checked his watch. He smiled before undoing his bow tie and removes his vest. He inserts a coin into the karaoke machine and comes up to the microphone as Daniel Powter's 'Bad Day' started to play. "#Where is the moment when we needed the most?#" Geoff started singing as people start looking at him. "#You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost. They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey. They tell me your passion's gone away. And I don't need no carrying on.#"

"Today officially marks a year since Ninjago City was saved by Lloyd Garmadon, the Golden Ninja from the Great Devourer, which we now officially call 1 AUB." A news reporter on a nearby TV said as Geoff looked at while singing. "But now, it appears there is a race between the Golden Ninja and the mysterious Samurai X."

"#Stand in the line just to hit a new low. You're faking a smile with the coffee to go. You tell me your life's been way off line. You're falling to pieces every time. And I don't need no carrying on.#"


Several months earlier, Geoff, in his Elemental Robes charges at some muggers, but Samurai X jumps in front of him and uses a spray which knocks them out. "Later." He said before taking off.

"Samurai X swooped by before the Yellow Ninja could arrive." A woman's voice was heard.


"#'Cause you had a bad day.#" Geoff kept singing. "#You're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around. You say you don't know. You tell me don't lie. You work at a smile, and you go for a ride. You had a bad day. The camera don't lie. You're coming back down, and you really don't mind. You had a bad day. You had a bad day.#"


Around the same time during the last few months, Zane sees a robber leave the bank and was about to charge at him, but Samurai X, in his mech appears and fires a net, trapping him. "Metal menace." Zane said.

"#Well you need a blue sky holiday. The point is they laugh at what you say. And I don't need no carrying on.#"


At the present time, Zane, wearing a chef's jacket and hat, looks out the peephole to see Geoff singing before hitting the bell as he placed a plate of noodles on it.


Also around the same time during the last few months, Jay sees a little girl, trapped in a burning building. But as he was about to head in, Samurai X, in his mech arrived and held his mech's hand out and girl gets on before he lowers down to the street below. "STUPID SAMURAI!" He yelled.

"He's my new hero." The rescued girl's voice was heard.

"#You had a bad day.#" Geoff kept singing. "#You're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around. You say you don't know. You tell me don't lie. You work at a smile, and you go for a ride. You had a bad day. The camera don't lie. You're coming back down and you really don't mind. You had a bad day.#"


At the present time, Jay, wearing a black jacket over a blue collared t-shirt, jeans and black sneakers, hands a pizza box to a girl, who pays him and closes the door as he goes back to a Vespa.


Also around the same time during the last few months, Cole sees Samurai X in his mech, stopping a bus which was out of control as the passengers soon got out and started taking photos on their phones. "Oh, no fair." He said.

"#Sometimes the system goes on the blink, and the whole thing it turns out. Wrong. You might not make it back and you know that you could be well, oh, that. Strong. And I'm not wrong.#"


At the present time, Cole, wearing a bank guard's uniform, chases a robber before jumping off the stairs and lands on him and holds a baton on his neck.


Also around the same time during the last few months, Kai charges at some men, who are whipping some slaves, but Samurai X, in his mech shows up and fires a net, trapping them, infuriating him. "Seriously?" He asked.

"#So where is the passion when you need it the most? Oh, you and I. You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost.#"


At the present time, Kai, wearing a black suit, red shirt and black dress shoes, looks at some sheets of paper before marking them.


Also around the same time during the last few months, Lloyd, on a golden formed dragon flies across Ninjago City as he sees the train being derailed and uses his Golden Power to form a set of hands before laying on the ground as Samurai X came, but is too late. "Slowpoke." Lloyd said before flying away.

"I don't care what they say about the samurai, I still love the Golden Ninja." A woman's voice was heard.

"#'Cause you had a bad day.#" Geoff kept singing. "#You're taking one down. You sing a sad song just to turn it around. You say you don't know. You tell me don't lie. You work at a smile and you go for a ride. You had a bad day. You see what you like. And how does it feel one more time? You had a bad day. You had a bad day.#"


At the present time, Lloyd, with his Golden Ninja robes on, but without his hood, is given a medal.


In the present, Geoff had just finished singing as the crowd applauded him before he gets up and looks at the TV. "Is this the end of the Ninja?" The reporter asked. "Recently, this video has been uploaded."

"Citizens of Ninjago, I am Samurai X." Samurai X said in a video. "Let it be known, the Ninja had their turn in the spotlight with defeating the Great Devourer, but I have been working around the clock, cleaning up their mess. Who's the real hero? Me or the Ninja?"

"Mitch, turn it off." Geoff said as he walked away.

"There had been mixed reactions following that statement, but it seems without Serpentine, or an enemy to fight, the age of the Ninja would probably come to an end." The TV soon shuts off.

"After the Golden Ninja defeated the Great Devourer..." Kai's voice was heard. "Much of Ninjago City was in ruin. It was a time to reflect on our past...and build for our future."

In the city, people are moving rubble as a man, wearing a grey suit, black sweater and black boots, in a wheelchair was looking on. "Great work, people." The man said. "Together we can do this. Transportation group aligned with engineering. It may have been a year, but that never stops us."

"Ninjago City soon became New Ninjago City. And it became the centre of great technological advancements."


6 Months Later

"But without an enemy to fight...and Samurai X being the new hero, the age of the Ninja came to an end." Kai said to a group of school kids. He was wearing a brown suit, white shirt, black dress shoes and red tie. "Any questions?" A young girl with long red hair and glasses raised her hand. "Sally."

"Mr. Asher, is Samurai X the reason that you became, what you are today?" She asked.

"That is an interesting question, but I'm afraid I have no answer to that." A young boy with black hair soon raised his hand. "Brad?"

"So, how did the Golden Ninja take down the Great Devourer?" He asked. "You were there, weren't you?"

Kai sighed as he tried to think of an answer but the school bell soon rang and the students start preparing to leave. "I'll try to think of the answer by tomorrow. And bring your field trip ideas to my desk first thing." Kai soon sat down, loosened his tie, undid a button and looked at a photo. It was Jay, Zane, Cole, Geoff, Lloyd, Nya, Dragon, Misako, Oni, Dr. Yost and himself on the day of the Great Devourer's defeat.

Soon, Nya came in, wearing a grey dress with the skirt down to her knees, black leggings and black sneakers, comes in, exhausted as she closed the door and knocking was heard on it. "Hi, Ms Asher!" A student called out from behind the door.

"I like your dress, Ms Asher!" Another student called out from behind the door.

"Why is it when I teach I get the feeling that none of the boys are listening?" Nya asked.

"Maybe because you changed the colour of what you usually wear." Kai replied as he placed the photo down.

"Well, Mr. Thouness wants to see you in his office."

"Now?"

"Now."

Kai sighed as he walks to the door. "Seriously?" Nya soon looked at the photo.


Outside an apartment, Jay walks away from it as he counts a pile of money and heads over to his Vespa as gasping was heard and he immediately looked up to see that it was Lloyd, on a Golden Dragon, flying past New Ninjago City. "I'm chapped that Lloyd gets to be the Golden Ninja and fly around accepting awards, while I'm stuck here, delivering pizzas." He said to himself and sighs before sitting on the bike and gets out a photo which is the same as Kai's. "I miss my Elemental Blade."


At the bank, Cole is by the door as an elderly woman comes up to it. "Oh, let me get the door for you." He said, opening it.

"Oh." The elderly lady replied. "Thank you, Black Ninja."

As she left, Cole soon closed the door and sighed as he gets out a similar photo of him and the others. "The Black Ninja."


At the restaurant, Geoff places some drinks near some men, in suits before walking away as Zane takes off his apron. "Well, my shift is now over." He said.

"I still have another hour." Geoff replied.

"Want to catch a movie afterwards?"

"No, I think I'm just gonna head home, have a beer and get some sleep."

"Be careful not to drink too many-"

"I know, besides, I only drink one per stressful nights."

"Of course. How could I forget?" Zane's skin starts peeling off.

"Zane." Geoff points to his forehead.

"Oh." Zane fixes his false skin. "Keeps coming off. Must be my hard drive overheating. I better get going." Zane soon walks out as Geoff looks at a similar photo of him, Zane and the others.
