The portal opened up in Ninjago City, with the Ninja returning home. "Break away!" Wu called.
"Our city!" Cole cried.
"It's in ruins!" Jeanette cried.
"What's left of it!" Jay cried.
"Let's just hope, our friends are ok." Kai said.
"You're coming in loud and clear brother!" Nya said into his link com.
"Nya!" Both Kai, and Cole cried with happiness, smiling brightly.
"Your alright!" Cole smiled.
"Uh, I don't know about that. But we could use a little help!" Nya told them.
"I've located their transmission." Zane said.
"Lead the way." Master Wu told him.
Zane flew down, and the others followed. Zane's dragon shot ice at the Sons Of Garmadon. Freezing Ultra Vilot and a group of SOG.
"THE NINJA ARE BACK!" Dareth screamed with delight.
"And with very large dragons!" Nya added as Kai's, Cole's, Jeanette's, and Jay's dragons shot out their elements at the Sons Of Garmadon, chasing them away.
Lloyd laughed. "We did it! We held out!" He, Dareth, and Nya watched as Firstborne landed, and Master Wu jumped down, he turned and smiled at the three.
"Is that." Nya started, then trailed off.
"Master Wu?" Lloyd finished.
The other dragons gently landed, and the Ninja jumped off.
Lloyd, and Nya smiled brightly as they ran to meet the Ninja, who met them half way. Nya tackled both Cole and Kai, while Lloyd hugged both Zane and Jay, soon they all got a hug. Lloyd looked over Kai's shoulder to see Master Wu helping Jeanette down from her dragon.
"Do you see something you like Lloyd?" Nya teased with a smile, her arms around both Kai, and Cole.
"Yeah." The blonde nodded.
"She was bravier then the rest of us." Kai said. "The only time she broke down, was when we mentioned home, that was only a few days ago."
Lloyd walked passed them, to walk over to his uncle and wife.
Jeanette had slid off her dragon, who was lying down, the pink Ninja leaned against the dragon. "Thank you Master." She thanked after he helped her down.
"Anytime my dear." Wu smiled, he turned to see Lloyd slowly walking over to them, Wu turned to look back at Jeanette. "Remember, you shouldn't dwell over the past. The past is the past." With that he turned and walked over to Lloyd.
"Uncle Wu?" Lloyd breathed, staring at him.
Wu smiled. "Hello, my nephew. Would you like a hug? Or would you like to wait, and hug the uncle you remember?"
"I, um. If you don't mind on that last part." Lloyd answered, and Wu shook his head.
"Of course not Nephew. I look forward to it." Master Wu gently patted him on the shoulder, before walking the rest of the way to the Ninja.
Jeanette looked up to see Lloyd slowly walk up to her. And every emotion she had, every ounce of it, melted when she saw him. She ran to him, and he met her half way, and spun her in circles as she held tight to him.
"I'm sorry." She whispered, once he set her back down. "Ever since we met Harumi, I lost my faith." She whispered brokenly.
"It's my fault too." He whispered. "Our city wouldn't be in ruins, if I wasn't so blinded." He stepped back a little and took her hands. "Jenny, I'm a guy. So of course us guys are going to do stupid stuff, we make them all the time!" He squeezed her hands gently. "I love you! So much."
"You do?" She asked through her tears.
"Of course I do!" He leaned down and kissed her gently, her arms locked around his neck as he deepened the kiss.
Behind them, the Ninja cheered.
The need for air won, and Lloyd pulled away gently. He gently and very gingerly ran his hand over the side of her face. "Are ... are we good?" He asked. "I mean, are we back to normal?"
"We'll never be normal." She whispered brokenly. "We're Ninja. But you and me? Us? Yeah, I think we can go back to where we left off. Only if you want to."
Lloyd smiled. "I want to, I really want to!" He kissed her gently, and after a long moment, pulled away. "Come on." He said with a smile as he took her hand, threading their fingers together. "I know Nya's dying to give you a hug."
Together the two made their way over to the Ninja. Lloyd had to jump out of the way when the girls hugged, and the Ninja surrounded Lloyd.
Dareth walked over to the Ninja, holding Skylor.
"Skylor!?" Kai pushed his way through his friends, and hurried over to the red head, Dareth gently let Skylor fall into Kai's arms.
"She absorbed Garmadon's powers!" Nya told her brother. "But it got to much for her!"
"But I think we can still save her." Lloyd said. "If we stop my father."
"Has your power returned?" Master Wu asked him.
"No." Lloyd shook his head. "But Mistaké taught me, power isn't what makes the Green Ninja, it's the person behind the power."
"Where is that tea lady, anyway?" Jeanette asked.
"She's no longer with us, is she?" Master Wu answered with a question.
"No." Dareth said. "We wouldn't be here, without that crazy old woman."
"And what about the Princess Of Darkness?" Jeanette asked. "She still Garmadon's pet?"
"She's dead." Lloyd answered, and relief washed off Jeanette like an open waterfall.
A loud roar from Garmadon's giant, made the Ninja look up.
"And in honor of Mistaké." Dareth picked up a sword. "I recommend, we drop it old school and kick butt!" He tossed the sword to Lloyd, who easily caught it and he smiled.
The Colossus started to make hectic once again, scaring away whoever was left in the city.
"Dareth is right!" Lloyd said. "We do this for Mistaké! And anyone else hurt by my father!"
"Ninja, can you stop the Colossus?" Master Wu asked.
"We've learned a thing or two about taking down giants." Cole said, pulling out his chain gun.
He, Kai, Jay, and Zane ran for their dragons.
"Nya, you and Dareth keep Skylor safe." Master Wu continued, he turned to his nephew. "Lloyd, you must confront your father."
"I've survived without my power." Lloyd said, as Jeanette hugged his arm. "I don't know if I can stop him."
"You maybe without power, but you are not without me." Wu said, and Lloyd smiled at him. "Jeanette." Wu looked at her. "How is your eye? I know the Hunters hurt you after they captured you."
Lloyd looked at her sharply, as Jeanette reached up to gently touch the side of her face.
"I'm ok to fight." She nodded.
"Alright." Wu nodded. "Good luck, my dear."
Jeanette smiled. "You too." She let go of Lloyd's arm, reached up and kissed his cheek. "Be safe." With that she hurried over to her dragon, and jumped on.
Firstborne roared out after Master Wu and Lloyd jumped up on her.
"NINJA!" Lloyd called, raising a fist.
"GO!" The team called, raising their chain guns.
XxXxXxXxXx
"Looks like there's a few who weren't able to evacuate." Kai said as the Ninja flew through the city.
"Giant snakes, overlords. And now this?" Jay asked. "Why do people insist on living in the city?"
"Because old friends are worth fighting for!" Cole said, and with that the Ninja took off in different directions.
XxXxXxXxXx
Jeanette flew her dragon down towards a group of Sons Of Garmadon. A family of five stood trapped in a corner, the father and grandfather each held a baseball bat as they stood in front of their family.
Jeanette's dragon blew at the SOG, knocking them away from the family who stared at her.
"The Ninja!" One of the little girls smiled brightly. "They're alive!"
"Go!" Jeanette told the family, jumping off her dragon. "Follow main street!" She pointed to her left. "And keep following it, till your out of the city. Ninjago is not safe right now!"
The family ran up to her, and the smallest little girl hugged Jeanette around the waist. "Thank you, Pink Ninja!" She smiled up at her.
Jeanette returned the smile. "You're welcome."
"Thank you Ninja!" The Grandfather thanked, he turned to his family. "It's time to go!"
The family turned and ran off, Jeanette jumped back onto her dragon and took to the sky.
XxXxXxXxXx
That night, the Ninja met up, and started to attack the Colossus.
"Ok. We got the people out of the way!" Cole started. "Time to deal with the elephant in the room!"
"That's not an elephant Cole." Zane said.
"We got Zane!" Kai said. "Just chain your chain on the big guy! Remember what Faith taught us. We do this together!"
"The bigger they are!" Jay called. "The harder they fall!" He, and the others all shot their chain guns at the Colossus.
But the Colossus broke free.
XxXxXxXxXx
A shockwave shook the city. "What was that?" Cole asked, he turned to look at Jeanette.
"I have no idea." She said with a shake of her head.
"Look out!" Kai yelled in warning, and the two turned just as the fist of the Colossus hit.
Jeanette threw her hands forward, sending a vortex of wind into the Colossus' fist, trying not to strain herself to push the giant fist back. Cole's earth power helped, and the Colossus withdrew its arm.
Cole breathed out a breath of relief. "Thanks Jen."
"Thank you for the backup!"
XxXxXxXxX
"I don't know how much, we can take much more of this!" Jeanette cried, shooting her chain gun at the giant. Kai came up to her side.
"We have to keep trying!" He told her. "This is our city!" He shot his own chain gun at the giant beast, only for the creature to catch the chain. "And he has good reflexes!" He cried out when the Colossus pulled on the chain, making him fly off his dragon, he knocked into Jeanette and the two went flying, Jay caught Kai while Cole caught Jeanette.
"Guys! I'm nearly out of chain!" Cole called.
"Me too!" Jay cried.
"We need more!" Jeanette cried.
"Even if we had more, it's not big enough to stop it!" Kai said.
"Then perhaps next time, we should use thicker chain!" Zane said.
"There ain't gonna be a next time!" Cole exclaimed.
"And Zane's the smart one." Jay said, looking at Kai.
"No, he's on to something. Look at all that chain, if we can use it. We can lock it down!"
"And who of us is stupid enough to jump on that thing!?" Cole demanded.
"Cole! Say no more!" Kai said, before jumping off the back of Jay's dragon.
"Of course!" Jeanette exclaimed. "With Kai's fire, he can melt the chains together! Very heroric of him."
"Of just plan stupid." Jay snorted.
"Don't make me shot at you Jay!" Jeanette threatened. "How many chains do you have left, Cole?" She asked.
"One left."
She nodded. "Me too."
The two shot their chain guns towards the Colossus, just as Kai started to fall off it.
"Make it count Kai!" Jeanette called to him, as he jumped for both chains.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
The Ninja continued to fly around the Colossus, keeping it away from Kai.
"Keep distracting it!" He yelled towards them.
"What do you think we've been doing an hour!?" Jeanette yelled.
XxXxXxXxXxXxX
"It's working!" Jay cried, when the Colossu tried to move. "Get off of there Kai!"
"KAI!" Jeanette screamed when he fell off the top of the Colossu, he was saved by his dragon, and the giant fell to the ground.
The dragons flew through the air, circling the giant as they cheered. But their victory was short lived as the Colossu started to rise.
"It's breaking free!" Cole cried.
"It didn't fall hard enough!" Jeanette cried.
"Agh! Come on!" Kai complained.
The Colossu swatted at a dragon, then was stopped when a chain gun wrapped around it's wrist.
"Maybe I can offer some metal!" Master Wu called as Firstborne flew towards them.
"I hope you didn't think we forgot about ya!" Nya called into Kai's link com.
Her armed tank drove right into the foot of the Colossu. The Police Commissioner, the Elemental Masters, Ronin, and Misako, and PIXAL appeared on rooftops with more chains.
"Tie it down!" Misako called, throwing down some of the chains. And with help from some citizens, and Nya's armed vessel. Was able to lock the feet of the Colossu.
"Here we go again!" Cole said as the Ninja pulled down the Colossu. "The bigger they are!"
"The harder they fall!" Jeanette finished, no sooner did she finish, the Colossu dropped down onto the street.
Soon the Colossu started to break apart, and those on the ground ran for cover. And everyone was cheering.
XxXxXxXxXx
The Ninja watched as the Sons Of Garmadon were being arrested. "I hope you scum took care of Kryptarium Prison!" The Police Commissioner said to the Sons Of Garmadon. "I know some cells have been opened up!"
"Do you have room, for one more?" Lloyd called, and everyone turned to see Lloyd standing by his father.
"Lloyd!" Kai called, and Jeanette ran to him, tackling him into a big hug, he was able to regain his balance as he returned the tight hug.
"I can't believe it!" Jay said laughing as the Ninja ran up to them, as the two policemen escorted Garmadon to the police wagon.
"Your powers are back!" Nya smiled, placing a hand on Lloyd's shoulder.
"And Garmadon's is gone!" Jay cheered. "The balance is restored!"
"Just another day in Ninjago!" Kai smiled. "I wonder what tomorrow holds."
XxXxXxXxXxXx
The following day, Lloyd smiled as he set his dragon set down in front of Dareth's bar.
"What are we here for again?" Jeanette asked, after jumping off her dragon and joining him.
"Yeah!" Jay agreed as he, and the rest of the Ninja walked up to the Green Ninja. "I was hoping we could all sleep till noon!"
Lloyd smiled brightly at his friends. "Sorry to pull you guys away from sleeping in, but you'll all want to be here!" He walked towards the doors and opened them.
"SURPRISE!" The families of the Ninja, Dareth, along with the Elemental Masters.
"Oh Ed, it's our little boy!" Edna said tearfully.
"Mom, dad!" Jay ran towards his parents, while Kai pulled Nya towards their own set of parents, Cole ran up to his father, and Zane turned to look at Lloyd.
"You did all of this?" He asked.
"Not all of it." Lloyd smiled. "I of course had help." No sooner had he said that, Misako walked around the corner - carrying her granddaughter in her arms. Jeanette gasped, she hurried over to her mother-in-law and the two hugged, before Misako handed over the baby.
"Oh my baby!" Jeanette cooed as she hugged the child. "Mommy's missed you so much!" She kissed the child's cheek, who squealed in delight.
"Jenny!" Borg smiled as he rolled his wheelchair over to her, and her eyes widened.
"Cyrus." She ran up to him, and the two hugged tightly.
XxXxXxXxX
As the Ninja, their families and friends celebrated inside. Lloyd pulled Jeanette outside by the hand.
"What is it Lloyd?" She asked as he pulled her to the sidewalk.
"I was thinking." He started as he pulled her into his arms, and she locked her arms around his neck. "Let's renew our vows."
She stared at him. "What?" She asked. "Right here? Right now?" She knew it sounded dumb, even to her.
Lloyd laughed. "No, when everything gets all calm again."
Jeanette smiled. "You really want too?"
He tightened his hold on her. "Yes!" He nodded.
She beamed. "Then let do it!"
Lloyd leaned down, their kiss turned to passion as they soon got lost against each other.
"CAKE!" Cole's cheerful and excited voice filled the happy air from inside the building. "CAKE! BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL CAKE!"
Lloyd, and Jeanette stayed melted into each other under the starry night sky.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
A few days later, the Ninja were cleaning up the palace.
"We saved Ninjago! Can't we have a day off?" Cole complained as he held a broom.
"We helped brake it, we help rebuild it." Lloyd told him, was passed.
"Ninja! Trouble!" Master Wu's voice called, when he ran inside. He was back to his old man self. "Come quick!"
"So soon?" Jeanette asked with a frown.
"Already?" Kai asked.
"I'm still sore from our last adventure!" Jay complained.
But Master Wu turned and ran outside. The Ninja looked at each other, before pulling on their Ninja hoods and ran out of the palace.
The team quickly paused, one-by-one they pulled off their Ninja hoods. At the bottom of the steps were the city, and the Elemental Masters, Skylor, and Dareth. A band stood in the front.
The Police Commissioner walked up the steps, towards Lloyd. "I already thanked you. But the people, but the people wanted to thank you also."
Also in the crowd were the parents of the Ninja. As the band played, Nya waved Dareth, Skylor, and PIXAL towards them, and the three ran up to join the Ninja.
Nya hugged Cole's waist, Zane hugged PIXAL from behind, Kai and Skylor bonked each other in the head then hugged, and Lloyd and Jeanette hugged tightly.
