Garmadon woke up early, turned towards his son, gently stroking his hair. Lloyd smiled softly as his father touched him; it felt very relaxing.

"I'm right here, Lloyd." he whispered. "Don't worry."

"Hi..." Lloyd whispered back as he woke up. "Good morning, Dad..."

The two embrace.

"C'mon. Today's special. Let's get ready."

"Alright."

Lloyd and the other ninjas were wearing outfits similar to the ones that Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane were given when they first began training.

"Let's head out!"

They all arrived at the Ninjago Museum of Natural History. Unexpectedly, Lloyd sat on one of the stairs.

"Go ahead. Just give us a moment."

Garmadon sighed softly, sitting beside his son.

"I understand. I've been where you are. When my father passed, I felt as if it was hopeless, that I wouldn't pull through. Death isn't something that you can just deal with overnight. It will take time. Then again, I'll be here, Lloyd. Always. Forever."

The two of them sat in silence, holding one another close in an embrace for a moment. Then they pulled away, heading inside to catch up with the others.

Lloyd and his father arrived at the gift shop, where everyone else was buying lanterns. The two of them bought some. Then they split up.

"Happy Day of the Departed, everyone!"

Lloyd and his father went back to Steep Wisdom to honor Misako, Wu went to the burnt monastery to honor his father, Nya and Kai went to honor their parents at Four Weapons, Zane went to honor his father in the Birchwood Forest, Skylor went to Chen's Island to honor her mother, and Jay stayed with his parents in the junkyard.

Cole decided to go to Yang's Temple, which somehow ended up gaining altitude and pretty much flew into the sky. He brought the Yin blade with him, which he had gotten from the Museum. He swung the blade around and broke a vase. There was an eclipse, and the remaining light shone on the part of the vase that was broken. Ghostly vapors rose out from the vase, heading back towards where models of the villains were shown in the museum. They came alive.

The Green Ninja and his father were sitting at Misako's gravesite, releasing a lantern when Pythor suddenly appears.

"Pythor?!" Lloyd gasped in shock.

"All I wanted was to take Ninjago for my own! Now I will have my revenge!"

"No! I will not allow this to happen!'' Garmadon exclaimed. He turned to his son. "Lloyd, you have to go! I'm staying behind."

"But, Dad-"

"Just leave! I...I can't bear to lose you a second time!"

"I don't wanna lose you either!"

Lloyd couldn't take it anymore. He created an energy beam, shooting it at Pythor, who disappeared.

"Oh, thanks! I thought he would've hurt me or something..."

Garmadon and Lloyd embrace.

"Thank you so much! I'm so glad we're both alright. I was so worried about your safety, and mine as well. I don't wanna lose you again. It still hurts thinking about it. Anyways, though, we have to tell everyone else. C'mon, let's go!"

The both of them summon their elemental dragons; Lloyd's being green and Garmadon's being black and gold. They flew to the burned down monastery.

"Wu," Garmadon explains. "The ninja's former enemies have been awoken."

"I heard."

Morro suddenly appears.

"Morro?!" Lloyd exclaims. "How-"

"Lloyd, I'm here to help. Yang tricked Cole to open up this rift and has re-awoken your team's former enemies: Samukai, Chen, General Cryptor, and me, though I'm reformed now. And Lloyd, I'm sorry for what I did to you. I was jealous that you became the Green Ninja. Now I understand why destiny chose you."

"It's alright. I forgive you."

"Thank you. We should really get a move on."

They all got on the Bounty and flew to the museum again. The rest of the ninjas, minus Cole, who was fighting Yang and his students, were already there.

"So...you're saying that Cole opened up a rift, and now Ninjago's in danger again?!" Jay asked.

"Yeah..." Lloyd replies. "And Morro's joining us."

"WHAT?! How do we even know if we can trust him!?"

"Guys, settle down!" Morro exclaimed. "I'm reformed now. I'm sorry I hurt you."

"I forgave him." the Green Ninja said.

"Oh..." the other ninjas said all at once.

"Anyways, we should leave now..."

"Okay..." Kai replied.

Lloyd sighed, sitting on the deck, when Morro approached, sitting beside him.

"Hey, Morro." the Green Ninja smiled softly.

"Hi. You seem a bit down. Are you alright?"

"Not exactly. The thing is, my mother...she passed away about a week ago. My father and I were having a private reunion, but it got interrupted when Wu was calling for us. Apparently, she died from a heart attack. The both of us were devastated. We had just gotten each other back."

"Oh... I'm so sorry, Lloyd... I'm happy for you that your father's back. During the time I possessed you and read your mind, I've realized how much he means to you."

"Thanks, Morro... Yes; I love him a lot. I still miss my mom, though."

"I feel you; death is hard. I lost both of my parents at a very young age. Then Wu took me in. After that, though, everything fell apart. I was so consumed with wanting to become the Green Ninja. I ran away, and died in the Caves of Despair, being sent to the Cursed Realm. I possessed you years later, and then the whole thing with the realms and the Preeminent occurred. Wu and I made amends, just seconds before I was dragged down into the water. I came back, and now I'm here with you. I still feel so bad about what I did to you when I was still evil."

"It's alright. I've forgiven you. We all have."

"Thanks. Wanna be friends?"

"Sure."

Garmadon oversaw his son talking with Morro and decided to come over, sitting down next to the both of them. Lloyd scooted over, leaning against his father.

"Hi Morro. Son, are you alright?"

"Kinda. The two of us were talking about what's been going on recently; I still miss Mom."

"I miss her too. I know this is really hard for you, but it'll be okay. I'll always be here."

Garmadon embraces his son tightly. The master of wind came over also, placing a hand on his back in support.

"He's right, Lloyd." Morro added. "Although dealing with your mother's loss may be difficult, your father will never leave your side. He'll always care for and be a part of you. Even I care, despite the fact that we were once enemies at one point."

"Thanks a lot..." Lloyd replies softly. "Really..."

They pulled away, the three of them getting up to look out at the scenery below.

"We're almost there, Lloyd. It's straight up ahead that way."

Yang's students and Morro had already gone through the rift, using Airjitzu, changing back into humans.

"Morro!" Lloyd exclaimed, jumping down from the Bounty, which had arrived. He ran to embrace him. "You're a human again!"

"Yeah!"

Meanwhile, Cole and Yang were at the top of the temple.

"I lived alone and wanted to be remembered forever... I thought the Yin blade would allow me to be immortal..." Yang explained.

Cole then replies, "You are remembered, Yang. You created Airjitzu!"

"Really?!"

"Yes. Though we have to go to the rift. The both of us."

Cole and Yang used Airjitzu to propel themselves up to the rift, but then they stayed suspended.

"No, Cole. The curse on the temple requires that one ghost stays behind as the Master of the House. I will sacrifice myself."

He came back down, and Cole went up into the rift.

"Cole!"

The Bounty touched down, and everyone else got off. Lloyd's face suddenly fell, and his father held him close.

"Cole's...gone..."

"No, I'm right here! And I'm not a ghost anymore!"

"Cole!" the Green Ninja then exclaims, pulling away from his father, and embracing the earth ninja. "You're back and you're not a ghost anymore!"

The Temple of Airjitzu was reverted back to it's original form. The ninjas decided to send it back to where it used to be.

All the ninjas and their families gathered together outside of the temple, Yang deciding to join them as well. He turned to Cole.

"I truly thank you, Cole." Yang said. "You helped me to realize that I will forever and always be an important part of history."

"You're welcome."

Lloyd leaned against his father.

"Dad, that was crazy..."

Garmadon chuckled softly. "I know, Son. The thing is, all of us are safe now, and I'm still here. Like Morro said hours before, I'll forever be a part of you. I love you unconditionally, Lloyd; you are my whole world. You have been and forever will be."

Jay was having a conversation with his parents.

"We should've told you before: you're adopted." Ed explained.

"What?!"

"Your father's telling the truth, Jay. He's an actor. His name is Cliff Gordon, and he plays the role of Fritz Donegan."

"Seriously?!" Lloyd and Jay exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah."

"I WANNA MEET HIM!" the lightning ninja exclaimed loudly, jumping up, causing everyone else to turn to him. They all giggled. "WHAT?"

"Happy Day of the Departed, everyone!" Lloyd said.

Everyone let go of the lanterns, watching them rise up into the sky. Peace had returned and Ninjago was saved yet again.
