Kai P.O.V.

I was worried. Nya would think she lost me too once I'm gone. She'd be devastated. I have to leave a note. But what would I write?

I grab a piece of loose leaf paper and a pen. I run different things to write through my mind.

'Dear loved ones,'. No that's stupid sounding. 'Dearly beloved,'. Wow. Corny much. 'Dear the ones I hold close to my heart,'. That was just an all time low.

This was NOT working. Every other word out of my mind is some cliché word or phrase. What can I write?

At this point, I didn't care. I just wrote whatever came out of my head.

Dear family,

I had to go. I'm sorry. I promised Jay to do somethings for him, like tell you what he said. But I made a promise to myself. I have to find who did this to him. Who did this to us. None of you can come with me. I know you probably think it's dumb to do this alone, but I need closure, too. I wasn't told anything Jay said about me before he passed from any of you. So I'm just left hanging. Waiting for someone to say that Jay wanted me to know he loved me, or appreciated me, but I can't have that. I promise I'll be back soon, and when I make a promise, I keep it.

Love,

Kai

This actually was okay. I read it over again, checking each word carefully. I slowly crease the middle of it, and place it on my bed. Hopefully no one will read it until after the funeral.

Funeral

Luckily, It wasn't storming today. But it was gray and cloudy, with no sun, and brutal winds from time to time. Jay's parents were there, as well Sensei, Garmadon, Misako, Lloyd, Nya, Cole, Zane, and me. A few of unnamed people who were previous friends of Jay's were there, and some of his parents friends.

A green sheet lied over an empty hole in the ground that my brothers and I had to dig. That took well over 30 minutes, and was only about 5 meters deep. A priest lifted the top of the casket, and allowed us to place an object with Jay. Jay's parents put a toolbox at the foot of his resting place. Cole put in Jay's kimono we all recently had got. Zane put in his very first suit, and DX suit. Lloyd put in his ZX suit, and lightning blade, and I saw him sneak in a lollipop, a fist to face game, and a comic book.

I watch as Nya sadly placed in a necklace she got from him long ago, which was a smooth silver chain, with a blue light lightning bolt. She also put in a pendant from their wedding. It was on an arch of flowers above from where they had stood. It was in the middle. It was a purple heart with a picture of a lightning bolt on one side for him, and a flame on the other for her. The purple was for the combination of their colors, and the heart was sorta explanatory.

I had to go next. I held his kendo suit, and grasped the item in my hand tight. It was a friendship bracelet he gave to me long ago. I know, I know. It sounds strange. But a long time ago, he got a friendship bracelet for us. One half of the heart was blue, the other red. He kept the blue side, and I got the other. When he showed it to me, I just laughed. He seemed hurt, so I took it anyway, thinking this was really girly, and threw it under my bed when he wasn't looking. I noticed him wearing his everyday. They didn't put it with him in the casket, so I decided to put it on him myself.

I slowly approached the mahogany wood casket. I tried ignoring the glassy eyes staring at me as I walked.

I closed my eyes and shook my head, trying to get back into reality. I placed the uniform on the side. He looked so, lifeless. Paler than usual. His face so skinny, he looked like a doll. He looked so, unreal.

I tried, once again, to ignore everything. I remembered the bracelet in my hand and released my grip. It left a deep mark of a broken heart in my hand, which in one place had broken skin.

I wiped the small amount of blood off, and held his wrist. I slid on the bracelet, and stepped back. I pulled up my sleeve slightly, revealing the red half heart pendent that read: Be, and Fri. I held the small charm on mine and his and placed them together to make a whole heart. I closed my eyes and sighed. I stepped away when I felt someone trying to close the wooden casket.

I felt so silly. One part of me felt completely connected to Jay, and I wanted to stay like that, but the other part also felt stubborn, and cared of what other people thought. I must've looked weird, and girly. I pulled away but knew I would still be connected to him when I wore the bracelet. I wouldn't let anyone know, of course, because, well, I don't want to be thought of as a weirdo or something. I know it's dumb. But I can't change all of me just because I want to be connected to Jay. I'm still Kai.

The casket was placed over the green sheet, and eventually would be under, and in the ground, but not yet. Instead, a crane would put it in.

As limos and people piled out of the small cemetery, I stayed put, lost in thoughts once again. That's been happening a lot lately. I just keep thinking about how all this pain may not have happened if it weren't for me. I could have saved him. But I didn't. Now I just feel like I'm responsible for all these tears.

I walk up to the smooth garnet stone head and read the words imprinted on the front: Jay Walker. 1991-2013. If tears could create a stairway, and memories a lane, I would walk them and take you back from Heaven to Earth.

Beloved friend, student, son, brother, and husband.

More tears overflowed in my eyes, and I didn't wipe them away. They slid down my cheeks. Some hooked under my chin and down my neck, but most fell like rain drops, and hit the ground in front of the tombstone. I tried to guess how far the fallen tear was from the stone, as if it would take my mind off of the last week. I estimated 3 inches away.

I turned away and ran a hand through my spiky hair. Instead of a smooth run through, my fingers intertwined with the mess, and got stuck now and then.

Now that this was all over, I had to leave. I needed to.

I made my way back to the Bounty, and noticed everyone already asleep. Something I haven't gotten much of lately. I glanced at the clock and realized time must have slipped from my hands, considering the ceremony was at 1:00 P.M., and it was 11:36 P.M.

I grabbed a camping back pack, and small fold up tent that fit in the pack, a water purifier water bottle, weapons of all kinds, my uniform and fire blade, and my bracelet. I didn't take one last look at my sister of brothers, knowing it would make this harder.

Before I left, though, I remembered the note. I made sure it was obvious enough for them to see. I left after that, not looking back to make sure I wouldn't change my mind.

I found the Ultra dragon, and hopped on the side were flame was. "Underworld," was all I said. They dragons got up and spun towards the ground at ultra high speed. Soon, we entered a new portal which was the entrance to the Underworld. Luckily, I had changed into my uniform before hand, so my fire blade was equipped to my back. I took it out and held it in hand. I turned back to the dragons. "I'm sorry guys, but you have to go." Flame rubbed his head against me. I laughed and petted him. "I'll see you guys soon. Now go, okay?" They looked up and zoomed into the sky, opening a portal they entered.

I looked around the black and purple landscape. Nothing has changed. Skeletons walked around but seeing I had no interest in beating them, they didn't run away screaming. But I noticed that they still kept their distance.

I walked along the cold stone ground aimlessly. I had no particular place I was going. But soon, even the dark of the Underworld got darker, symbolizing night time. Soon, the only light left was from some random vending machines, some lights that hung on posts, and from the Ferris Wheel Cole, Zane, Jay and I created the first time we did the tornado of creation.

Luckily, though, my fire blade provided enough light to see for about 3 meters in front of me. But even though it was much darker, it was still pretty easy to see.

Soon, my feet grew numb, and I realized that I was very far into the Underworld, and now my only light was from my blade. But I kept walking. Whoever killed Jay probably wouldn't hid among the skeletons, that would be pointless. They'd most likely be even farther in that this.

I should have asked Garmadon about the map out of here. Being the former ruler and all, he'd tell me were to go. I just didn't think that through.

I stumbled over rocks and pebbles as my eye lids grew heavy. I hadn't eaten nor had a drink in 21 hours, since the last I ate and drank was well before the funeral at 8:00 A.M, and it was now the next day at 5:00 A.M. I hadn't even slept for 24 hours or more.

I suddenly felt light headed. The world began to spin. I tripped over a rock and hit the ground with a thump, not bothering to get up. I heard an evil laugh in the distance. Is this just a hallucination? No. I-It can't be. Right?

"Mwahahahaha!" It's getting closer.

Everything around me began turning black. No I have to s-stay awake. F-for Jay. I-I can't black out now... The last thing I see is a pair of feet slowly and menacingly walking towards me.
