A/N: Hey, sorry for not updating lately, Hurricane Sandy knocked my power out and my internet a lot of times. I'm actually posting this in school because my internet at home won't come back up. I'll post a bunch of chapters to make up for lost time.

Chapter 9: Dark Side…

Lance sat in bed after crying for several hours. "Cheryl…" he still cried weakly.

"Oh baby, I know love sucks…" April frowned, rubbing her son's head as he hugged her. "You'll get over it, believe me…"

His grip around his mother loosened as he began to drift off.

April tucked Lance in his bed and then kissed his forehead lightly before leaving the room. "Is he okay?" Angel asked as she stood in the hallway.

"Yeah, but poor thing's still heartbroken."

Suddenly a loud piercing alarm was sent throughout the ship, startling both women. "C'mon." Angel said, running for the bridge. April ran with her.

Once they were in the bridge, they met up with the others including Justice, Dexter, Sophia and Midnight, apparently Kathleen and Lance weren't woken up by the alarm. "What's up?" Kai asked.

"My dad's heading for The Dark Sanctuary." Lloyd and Marceline answered at the same time.

It had been years and nobody had defeated Garmadon yet. The final battle was still unfinished. "What does that mean?" Jay asked.

"The Dark Sanctuary preserves any dark powers; it is also the home of the master of darkness." Sensei said, looking at Angel.

"Wait…My home? As in…Where my parents are?"

He touched her shoulder. "You will find out…"

She nodded slowly. "So we might see our grandparents?" Dexter asked.

"Perhaps…"

"Al-right!" he high-fived his sister.

"Well I'll go get Kathleen and Lance so we can go!" Midnight was about to run out the room when Sensei spanked her shoulder harshly with his staff. "Ow! What the hell?"

"Kathleen and Lance are barely trained and so are you and your sister, you four must stay while Justice and Dexter go with the others."

Sophia's eyes widened as anger was injected into her blood. "What? Why? My sister and I are more trained than Kathleen and Lance put together!"

"But neither of you know spinjitzu." Sensei said.

"W-well neither do Justice and Dexter," Midnight argued, rubbing her pained shoulder.

"Do not argue." He said.

Justice and Dexter shrugged. "Sorry," they said in union, then went to change into their ninja suits.

Sophia found Justice in their room. She changed into her pink ninja suit, picked up her platinum weapon and put it on the magnetic ring on her back. "I can't believe Sensei won't let us go." Sophia groaned, sitting on Justice's bunk.

Justice smiled lightly as she slid a flute onto her belt. "He will let you in time…Maybe long time, but in time."

"Whatever…You'll be careful, right?"

"Yes," the android girl nodded, started to walk off, but her girlfriend stopped her.

"Seriously, be. Careful."

Justice nodded sharply. "I will, I promise." She gestured to her flute. "I will play a song only you can hear and then you'll know I am fine." She leaned down to kiss Sophia for a short moment, their fingers entwined as they held each other's hands. Zane walked into the room just a split second after the two girls pulled apart, but they were still holding hands. "Yes, father?" Justice asked, pulling her hands away.

Sophia sighed at how quickly her girlfriend pulled away when her dad entered the room. "We must leave now." He said to his daughter.

The pink ninja nodded. "Yes, goodbye Sophia," She said and then left with her father.

Zane examined his daughter as they walked. He could sense something between her and Sophia was it-? No…Justice wasn't like that. Then again, how were you supposed to act if you were a lesbian?

With Midnight and Dexter…

"Complete. Bullshit." Midnight growled, sitting on Dexter's bed as he got ready. "I can beat you down anytime I want, but yet you get to go!"

"Huh, do I sense a little jealousy?"

"Shut up, you know damn well I'm jealous." She folded her arms. "Ugh, can you at least text me or something to let me know you're okay?"

He pulled out his cellphone and slid it into his pocket. "I'm not sure I can, but I'll try." He shrugged. "And isn't it cute that you're concerned about me?" he joked, only to be socked in the arm by his girlfriend.

"Never call me cute." She warned.

"Yeah, yeah," He rubbed his arm, rolling his eyes.

"But really, be careful, 'k?"

"And when am I never careful?" she gave him an 'I'm serious' look and he leaned down to kiss her. He pulled away slightly, holding her hand. "I'll be careful."

Just when he let go, Angel walked into the room, startling the two. Dexter immediately stood upright while Midnight looked down, hiding her blush. "Yeah, mom what is it?" he asked.

"We have to go…" She said, looking between the two.

"Sure, give me a sec'."

"Now," She responded more sternly.

"Mom, I'll catch up to you guys in a sec'." he repeated. Angel shrugged and walked out of the room. Midnight stood and kissed him again, he grabbed her waist and drew her closer, tilting his head. They pulled apart. "See ya'," he said, running out of the room.

She sighed and waved at him. Now she had to wait for his return.

With Kai and Jayleene…

They weren't exactly on speaking terms, but Kai went to say goodbye to his wife either way. It turned out they just stood in the control room for five minutes in silence. "Uh, are you gonna' say goodbye to me?" Kai asked.

"Yeah, bye." She shrugged. He stared at her. "What?"

"Okay, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I said goodbye."

He folded his arms. "You gotta' be like that? I remember you used to practically grope me before I went on missions."

"Mm hm and you used to not annoy me so much."

Kai's frustration with Jayleene grew more intense. "Uh huh and you used to not be such a bi-"

"You wouldn't dare call me that!" she cut him off.

They shot daggers at one another. "Whatever, I have a mission." He shook it off and stomped out of the room.

With Cole…

Cole pulled out his ninja suit from his closet to find it pink. "'The fuck…?" he mumbled, throwing it down. He went for his spare one to find that was hot pink too. His eyes widened as he tore his closet doors apart and saw his entire wardrobe was pink.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Two pink ninja walked onto deck, confusing the others. "Uh…Justice…?" Angel asked.

"Yes, mother?" she answered.

"Then who's the other chick?" Jay walked towards the other pink ninja.

Cole sighed and flipped back his now pink hood. There was a long silence as they stared at him, then everyone burst out laughing. "Um…E-excuse me, ma'am…" Angel shook with laughter. "But have you seen our friend, Cole?"

"Very funny, but someone made all my clothes pink." He folded his arms.

"But…Am I not the only pink ninja?" Justice cocked her head.

"This is too damn good!" Dexter laughed, holding his sides.

Cole growled and stomped ahead. The group of laughing ninja followed him. Who the hell would dye his clothes pink? Was it a prank? A cruel joke, or was someone trying to get back at him…? He glanced over at April who whistled casually, looking up at the sky. IT WAS HER! He held back all his anger as they climbed down The Bounty's anchor. Just below, was a deep dark pit; The Dark Sanctuary. They all jumped down and stood at the edge. "So who's going first?" Kai asked.

Everyone looked at Angel. "What?" she asked.

"By what Sensei said, this is your birthplace so…" Jay trailed off.

"Nuh uh, hell no, I ain't going down that fucking hole first. You'll have to push me."

"Okay," Marceline shrugged and then shoved Angel forward. The dark purple ninja fell forward and down the dark abyss, screaming. Everyone stared at the twin Green Ninja with wide eyes. "What? She said to push her."

Zane panicked and dived after his wife.

"DUDE! She was born there, she could've shown us where to go, you idiot!" Lloyd shoved his sister. She shoved back and soon they were tackling one another. They were both twenty-five and still picking fights over small things. "She didn't even know she was born there, jackass how could she show us where to go?!" Marceline punched her brother. They rolled over to the edge.

"Guys, watch it!" Scarlet said. "You're at the edge!"

The twins ignored the wind master and continued to fight; they rolled over once more and fell down the dark pit. "No!" Scarlet screamed, jumping after the two.

Kai, Jay, April, Cole, Justice and Dexter all stood in silence. "Fuck this," Dexter sighed. "If everyone's doing it…" he jumped down the abyss. "EPPPIIICCC!" he shouted as he plummeted.

Justice sighed and jumped after her brother. April looked at everyone. "Oh, what the hell?" she took off her glasses, slid them into her pocket and then dived down.

Cole slapped his forehead and jumped after her.

Kai and Jay stood, looking down. "Dude…Whatever happens, I love you man." Jay sucked in his fear.

"That's gay, bro but yeah love you too."

They were the masters of fire and lightning. Those were both light elements, the opposite of darkness so if they took a wrong turn…They were fucked. Jay drew back and then ran forward into the pit. Kai jumped after his brother, screaming like a four year old girl.

Angel…

"AAAHHHH!" Angel finally hit the ground after what seemed like a century long fall. She groaned and rubbed the arm that she fell on. "Fuucckk…" she was in definite pain. As she looked around, she found it was easy to see through the dark. Wait…How could she see through darkness?

Maybe it was because somehow…She was used to the environment. The thirty five year old stood, looking around the space. It seemed she was in a pit within in the dark pit. It felt like a place a snake would live, cold, hollow and underground but still…It felt like… "Home…" she finished aloud.

She shook her head rapidly. It was crazy, she hadn't seen the place before, how could it be home? Man I need blood… she thought. Her mind would always get loopy without drinking blood for a while. Angel pulled off her leather glove and dug her own sharp nails into her palm.

Dark red blood poured out. It hurt like a bitch, but she needed it. She put her hand to her mouth and drank slowly. "Enjoying it, Bella?"

Angel rushed to her feet and peered through the darkness. Who the hell said that? And why would they call her Bella? She whipped out her two razor sharp fans quickly. "Stay the hell away from me!"

She couldn't see anything anymore and the blood coming from the cut on her palm was weakening her. Shit, why'd she have to go and drink from herself? Angel quickly licked at the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. Something grabbed the charm bracelet on her wrist. She panicked as it was ripped off. It was important her, it was all she had when she was left at the orphanage. "Give it back!" she screamed, spinning on one foot with her fans outstretched. Suddenly she hit something…There was a grunt and then sparks flew. Her eyes widened. The sparks were ice blue…God, no…

When her dark vision returned, she saw she had hit Zane. The nindroid lay on his back; the wires in his chest door had been sliced by her fans. "Zane!" she knelt beside him. His ice blue eyes turned pitch black as his system electrocuted. She drew back slightly as the sparks continued to fly, but dealt with the burning pain. She reached inside, trying to figure out what to do.

His CPU began to shut down too. "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 100 seconds…"

Permanently?! She screamed on the inside. She started flipping random switches inside him, hoping it'd cause the countdown to stop or at least slow down. A dark purple glow surrounded her as she panicked.

"All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 90 seconds…"

Tears started to stream down her face. She couldn't lose him… "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 80 seconds…"

She could see the cluster of wires that were supposedly his heart start to slow its pace in beating. "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 70 seconds…"

Angel looked him dead in the eyes to see if he was still alive. He was, but his eyes were falling into the back of his head… "Zane, c'mon stay awake…" she cried, panicking.

"All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 60 seconds…"

They only had one more minute…What the hell was she supposed to do?! She trembled, feeling it was all her fault. If she kept calm and hadn't gone insane, she wouldn't have hit him and then…

She ran every possibility of what to do to save him through her mind…Then she settled on her powers…She looked down at her hands… "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 50 seconds…"

She never used her dark powers on anything, they were too harmful, only Marceline, Lloyd and her joining hands could help her use them…She never tried it alone, but she had to now. "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 40 seconds…"

Angel's powers could kill them both if they weren't handled right and the emotional state she was in now wasn't exactly fit…Even if she could manage them, Zane wouldn't be the same…He'd be alive, but…Evil…How would an evil Zane be? "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 30 seconds…"

It wasn't like she had a choice either way…Angel placed her hands on Zane's body and shut her eyes. "DARKNESS!" she yelled, shaking. Her purple glow returned, now flowing over to Zane.

"All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 20 seconds…"

She screamed in pain as a large shock shot through her arms and to her fingertips. "All systems shutting down permanently in T-minus 10…9…8…" Zane's eyes shot at her and he sat up in pain. The countdown from his computer stopped, but the colors in his eyes flashed from ice blue, to green, to purple, to black, to blood red.

The blonde roots of his hair started to turn ink black and went through the strands, dying all his hair black. That was the last thing Angel saw before two hands grabbed her shoulders and dragged her energy drained body away.

A/N: Dude, imagine if Zane was like, fucking evil! Oh my God he'd be so damn hot!

I didn't say that.
