Skylor grinned, sneaking into the Fire Temple. She had her hands around the sword, when Kai came in, spinning into his Spinjitzu vortex. They were soon facing each other, each with a tight grip on the sword. Kai stared at her, stunned. A blush crept up his cheeks as she smiled. She took the sword from him. "I'll take this...see you later, Fire Boy…" With that, she sashayed away, until Kai caught his bearings and grabbed the sword. Skylor frowned. "Oh no you don't…" They wrestled for it, each trying to get the advantage. Kai broke from her grasp, standing up. She lunged for it, Kai stepping out of the way. She lost her balance, about to fall into the hot lava. Kai reached out for her, dropping the sword. He helped her regain her balance, grabbing the sword and sheathing it in his belt. Skylor hugged him, burying her face in his chest. "It had to be lava…"

Kai held her close, keeping her on the side closest to the walls of the dormant volcano.

Lady Garmadon clenched her teeth, gripping her obsidian sword. She entered shadow form, grabbing Nya. The poor girl yelped, being wrapped in chains. Lady Garmadon hung her over the lava, snarling. "KAI FIRESTONE."

Her loud voice startled Kai, Skylor shaking. "L-Lady Garmadon…"

Lady Garmadon huffed. "Pathetic, Skylor… Whatever. Kai, if you give me the sword, I'll let your sister go. If not," she loosened the chain, lowering Nya towards the bubbling molten rock, causing Nya to scream. "If not, your precious little sister gets charred. Your choice."

Kai bit his lip. Skylor looked up at him. "Give her what she wants…"

Kai shut his eyes, throwing his sword... back towards Sensei Wu, who was standing in the doorway.

Sensei Wu spun towards Lady Garmadon, flaring the lava towards her. She snarled, passing through it. "Even shadows have their purposes, Wu."

"Sensei!"

Jay, Cole, and Zane stood in the doorway, each with a petrified look on their face. Morro sighed, grabbing the sword from Wu. "Sorry, Sensei…" He presented the sword to Lady Garmadon, the shadow cackling. "Ah, these plans never fail! Good job, Morro...well done."

Morro smiled proudly, fluffing his hair. Wu frowned. "Morro...You treacherous student…"

Lloyd stood behind Lady Garmadon, tears in his eyes. "Mama...you said you wouldn't hurt them…"

Lady Garmadon hushed her son, shoving him back. "Not now, sweetie...Mommy's got work to do…" She smirked, lowering the chain that held Nya. Lloyd covered his ears as she shrieked, feeling the heat from the lava. Kai yelled her name, unable to save her. Lloyd took the chain from his mother's grip, shoving her shadow with his own. He lowered Nya onto solid ground, motioning for her to join her brother. Lady Garmadon frowned. "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon!"

Sensei Wu stroked his beard. "Misako-"

Lady Garmadon whipped around, snarling. "Don't you DARE call me that EVER AGAIN!" She grabbed Lloyd, taking him to the underworld.


The weapons glimmered in the dim atmosphere, the older woman smirking. "They're so beautiful…" She snapped her fingers. "Samukai, take these for me, please."

Samukai grabbed the weapons, pointing them at Lady Garmadon. "No! You will obey me from now-"

The weapons shook in his bony hands, Lady Garmadon smiling. "Oh, Samukai…" She giggled, her now red nails scraping against his cheekbone. "You underestimate my plans… You see, not even I can possess all the weapons at once…"

The stranger chuckled. "Great plan...but there's a flaw...ninja...over there."

Wu snarled. "Who are you!?"

"Well, if I gave that detail away, where would I be? I'm not a villain, or a hero…" The edge of his red cape flared into the dim light, the stranger stepping forward, wrapping his arm around Lady Garmadon's shoulders. She took his hands off, turning to Wu. "What could you possibly think you could be doing?" She cackled. "The portal is opening as we speak!"

Wu bit his lip. "Our master would not want us to do this, Misa-"

"HE IS NO LONGER HERE!" She stepped backwards into the vortex, feeling its grasp. She turned to her son, shaking her head. "Someday soon...You will understand."

Morro stepped forward. "Master, when will we see you?"

Lady Garmadon chuckled. "You'll see me in the afterlife." She forced him into the lava, Morro's screams echoing off the cavern walls.

Lloyd struggled against the chains, looking at Wu. Wu sighed, releasing his young nephew. Lloyd turned and ran out into the night, not looking back.

The ninja came in, getting their weapons. "She's...gone."

Wu nodded. "Peace has returned to Ninjago...for now."

The ninja cheered, high-fiving each other. Nya hugged her brother, waving as she was following Skylor out of the cave.


"She's really gone."

Nya huffed. "Well, my brother's back...and his ninja team did absolutely nothing to stop her. They're so lazy."

Seliel scratched her head. "Well, we could try out this whole 'hero' thing…"

Toxikita smiled. "We could…"

Camille frowned. "NO!"

Skylor looked at the purple-haired girl. "What?"

Camille pouted. "My nails didn't dry, and now they're all smudged!"

Skylor silently facepalmed, the other girls bursting into laughter. They joined together for a group hug, looking into the sky at the stars.

"You'd think that the author would have a better ending for part one, don't you think?" Toxikita asked.

"Way to break the fourth wall, Tox," I said, rolling my eyes.

How'd you like this ending? Good? Bad? AMG MY EYES?

Yeah...Part two will be interesting...oh, and feel free to request fluffy moments with any ships and stuff...I'll weave 'em in! (Note: ANY ships ;) )
