Epilogue-
Everything around me was white. I didn't know where I was. I wondered if this was what heaven looked like. "Scarlet," a voice said softly. I turned to see the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. "Am I dead?" I asked. He nodded. "Are the ninja okay?" I asked. He nodded again. "You defeated the Overlord," the Master said. I smiled, but a small tear escaped my eye. "What do I do now?" I whispered. "Oh, Scarlet," the Master said gently, pulling me into an embrace, "You have done so much for those on the mortal world. Yet, I think you forgot something." "What?" I asked, "What did I forget?" "I seem to remember that you promised to go to a dance with Cole, is that correct?" he asked. I nodded sadly. "I let him down," I murmured, closing my eyes. "I did it once, and I can do it again," the Master said softly. "What are you talking about?" I asked, pulling away to look at him. "You won't remember anything," the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master warned, "This time, I will take your powers from you." I finally understood what he meant. "I am ready," I said confidently. The Master nodded once, then gripped my hands in his. The white world around us began to spin. "Thank you," I whispered. Everything disappeared.
I opened my eyes. I was laying on a road, looking up at the sky. I slowly sat up, looking at the white dress I was wearing in confusion. What was I doing here? I looked around, trying to make sense of my surroundings. "Scarlet?" a quiet voice asked. I turned to see an old man walking toward me. "I think I'm lost," I said. He nodded, then helped me to my feet. "Come with me," he said. I began to follow him, then I asked, "Where are we going?" "I'm going to train you," the old man said. "Train me?" I asked, "What do you mean?" "I mean many things young one," he murmured, placing an arm across my shoulders, "But for now, let's just say that I need to introduce you to my other students." "Do I know you?" I asked. "No," the old man replied, "My name is Sensei Wu. What is yours?" "I...I don't know," I said confusedly. "We will discover that among many other things," Wu said, "To become a true ninja, you must first learn that things don't always turn out the way they seem." "What does that mean?" I asked. "When you are ready," Wu replied, "You will understand."
The end! I hoped you liked it! I know the ending is kind of sad, but I actually thought of lots of different ways I could end it. Like, I thought of having Scarlet intervene at the last second and defeating the Overlord, but then she is still immortal and all-powerful. I thought of having Zane "die" like in the original series, but you can't end a story like that! Now, Scarlet can start fresh and everything all worked out! Thank you so much for reading! Right now I'm working on other stories for other genres, so stay tuned! -NinjaDragon
