Chapter 10, :D!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

The ninjas were trying to stifle their squeals. They were wearing their masks and were carrying their golden weapons. Lord Garmadon tried to silence them while making their way towards the Fire Temple. It was a hard, long trek and what was worse was that the ninjas were beginning to get bored with the so called field trip.

"Are we there yet?" Four voices chorused loudly.

"Shh, we're not there yet, ninjas. But we will be!" Lord Garmadon shushed them comfortingly.

About halfway there, Lord Garmadon stopped. He motioned the ninjas to come silently about him. Standing in front of and below the fivesome was a huge green-like dark area filled with Serpentine. Near Pythor and Skales was three guards and a cage. The cage contained a girl who looked sad, as if she had failed in what she was supposed to do.

"Ah, now, nin-?" He looked around for the ninjas, which could only lead to one conclusion. "Oh dear..."

The ninjas were sneaking around to get a better view of what was happening. Unfortunately, Jay tripped on a rock which caused him to stumble...which caused him to trip and smash into the other three ninjas. They were rolling and tumbling down the path, which ended them in lying on top of each other. They were all animed swirly-eyed and this caused not only Lord Garmadon to sweatdrop at this, but the Serpentine, their slaves, and (despite her inner torment) Milky to sweatdrop as well.

"WAH~! Uncy' Garmadon!" The four ninjas bawled.

Milky used this distraction to unlock her chains and get out of the cage. But hardly had she walked a few steps when the ninjas noticed her and began to yelp across the cavern:

"MISS KRILE!"

Milky's eyes widened. She ran over to the ninjas, but a young boy got in her way. Lloyd. She then felt someone else grab her from behind and tie her hands behind her back. Nya. She then found Pythor and Sensei Wu coming towards her. The ninjas began to cower in fear.

"Well, well, have you made a choice? Either you come with us and give your powers to the Fangblades, or let the ninjas suffer!"

"I choose...this!"

Milky closed her eyes and began to glow. Nya let go of her in surprise, and everyone watched as she glowed brighter and brighter. Pretty soon, her body wasn't visible and all that fell down was a bunch of sparkles that fell on the Golden Weapons. The Golden Weapons began to shine brightly and the eyes of the ninjas were glowing as well. Then, this happened. The ninjas groaned and rubbed their heads while they were getting up.

"Woah! What happened?" Jay asked.

"I had a weird dream..." Kai mumbled.

"Yeah...me too. I dreamed that we were all acting like little kids..." Cole continued.

"...and Milky came and took care of us. Then, she sacrificed herself to save us." Zane finished.

Then, they looked around. Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu were having glowing red eyes, they were surrounded by Serpentine, and Milky was nowhere to be found. Then, they realized. That wasn't a dream, that was real! They then looked at the Golden Weapons. They were glowing eerily. Then, the foursome realized.

Milky had assimliated herself into the Golden Weapons.

"Ninjas, forget about them. Get out of there!" Garmadon's voice shouted.

No...they weren't going to lose to the Serpentine anymore. They could keep the Fangblades. The ninjas Spinjitsu'd Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu out of sight. Then, the Golden Weapons touched the three hypnotized people on the foreheads, and the threesome snapped out of it. Garmadon distracted the Serpentine with his skeleton army. The ninjas got out of there with Nya, Sensei Wu, and Lloyd in tow.

"Good-bye, ninja. We will meet again..." Garmadon growled.

"So...Milky's gone?" Nya choked out.

The ninjas nodded, trying to hold their tears. They had filled in what Sensei Wu, Lloyd, and Nya didn't know. Nya, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu filled in what the ninjas didn't know. After everything Milky had done for them, she ended like this. Gone away...or did she?

"You know, I have a feeling Milky's not going away for a long time!" Cole commented.

"Yeah, Milky's gonna be here for us..." Kai smiled.

"...whether we like it..." Zane continued.

"...or not." Jay finished.

The seven looked at the Golden Weapons, who were glowing with a bright light. Just like Milky had...

A/N: Yeah, bittersweet ending. But she's a goddess, so...she didn't die!
