Sam jumped down with Ella, Sage, Sydney and Matthew close behind. They landed on the rooftop of a small apartment building.
"Alright, that's everyone," Ali smiled.
"No, we're still missing a few," Sage said. "Where's my sister?"
"Teana, along with Nattie, Rose, Carol and Gavin are going to be at the calling already," Ali told them. "Along with Kyra."
"And William?" Adam asked.
All the ninja's expressions faded and were replaced with sorrow.
"He's no longer with us," Brock said. "He died at the hands of the Overlord."
"And so will the rest of us if we don't get to the calling," Sam said. "We need to go. It's in five minutes."
Ali and Sam took the lead, with everyone following closely behind. They slid to a stop, kneeling at the edge of a building in a long line so everyone could see. On the stage, the Overlord stood right dead center while all the masters parents were lined near the back of the stage.
"Ninjago!" the Overlord boomed. "Today marks a new day! The day all the masters fall! You beloved ninja failed you."
Murmurs filled the crowd, people looking around worried.
"They fled like little babies when I killed this excuse of a green ninja," the Overlord cried, flinging William's lifeless body across the stage.
The whole crowd gasped.
"Unless they are willing to come out and surrender right now," he paused, looking around for them in the crowd. "I thought so. Now."
He turned, walking towards the prisoners that lined the back of the stage.
"One by one, they will die," the Overlord said.
Nattie hugged Nya tightly, who was crying softly. All five of the kids who were on that stage were crying.
"Starting with her," his pointed.
Everyone turned as a spotlight lit up a darkened side of the stage. There, in the light, stood Kyra, being held in place by two guards.
"No," Jason muttered.
The Overlord unsheathed his sword, walking towards her. He was about five feet away from her, his sword raised and ready to swing and kill her when someone cried to him.
"Father!"
The Overlord turned to Odyssia, standing on the stage.
"What is it, my dear?" he asked.
"Kyra has betrayed and caused so much pain to me," she said. "Is it alright if I have the honor?"
"Of course, my dear," the Overlord replied, handing Odyssia the sword.
Kyra was tense, looking for someway out of it.
"We need to stop this," Sage said. "She going to kill Kyra."
"No, it's all part of the plan," Ali smiled. "Wait until I say to go."
Jason and Brock exchanged worried looks, then turned back to Kyra. Odyssia swung the sword, but instead of it hitting Kyra, Odyssia took out both the guards holding Kyra.
"Odyssia!" the Overlord cried in disbelief. "You betrayed me!"
"Kyra told me what your true goal was," Odyssia spat. "You never wanted to be a family again, you just wanted to rule Ninjago. Well, this is where I draw the line, dad."
The Overlord growled.
"You," he pointed at Kyra. "You did this. It's all your fault!"
As the Overlord ran at Kyra, everyone panicked.
"NOW!" Ali yelled.
Then all the masters jumped down from the roof, onto the stage. Kyra bolted away from the Overlord, who refused to give up on her. He wanted her dead, and that was it. Sam and Ella freed the resistance members on the stage, and a large fight broke out. Masters fought against the Overlord's guards, lightning, rocks, ice shards, poison clouds and even people were flying everywhere. Jason, Brock and Sam joined up.
"Where's Kyra?" Jason asked, looking around frantically.
"I thought you were going after her," Brock shouted.
"We need to find her," Sam said.
"NINJA GO!" they shouted, their spinjitzu tornados lighting up the stage.
They flung the Overlord's guards everywhere. Other masters and parents dove out of the way as they spun around, taking anything out that stood in their way. They stopped, all the guards trapped in a metal cage, thanks to Matthew. They looked around.
"Where's Kyra and the Overlord?" Ella asked them.
Then a high pitched scream filled their ears.
"Kyra!" Jason, Brock and Sam shouted, running away from the group.
Teana, Ella, Ali and Sage followed close behind. They all rounded the corner to the back of the building, and found both the Overlord and Kyra lying on the ground, eyes closed. Odyssia held Kyra close in her arms.
"What happened?" Ali asked Odyssia, moving forward.
"They struck each other at the same time," Odyssia sighed.
Ali placed a hand on Kyra's chest, feeling it rising and falling slowly.
"She's still alive," Ali said. "But I don't know for how much longer."
Odyssia pulled Kyra into a hug.
"Ali, I know I've done too much wrong to ever fix it," Odyssia said, looking at Ali. "But there is one thing I can do."
"What are you thinking?" Ali asked.
"I could use a spell, giving my life to Kyra," Odyssia explained. "And bring Lloyd back, since my father is gone."
"What about William?" Sam asked. "Can you bring him back?"
"I can only bring two back with this spell, since only two will be going," Odyssia sighed.
:So, we have to decide between Sensei or William," Jason said.
He looked to Sam, Brock and Ella.
"So, either our teammate or our Sensei," Sam repeated.
"Hurry, because I don't have much time," Odyssia said. "We're going to lose Kyra soon."
"We need William back," Sam told them. "We will all miss Sensei, but William is more important."
Odyssia closed her eyes, a faint purple aura surrounding her, Kyra and the Overlord. Odyssia disappeared, along with the Overlord. Ali caught Kyra, looking at her with worry.
"Did it work?" Sam asked, walking over to Ali.
Ali looked at Kyra, hoping for some sort of sign. Then Kyra's eyes flew open and she gasped.
"She's alive!" Ali cheered.
They all celebrated. Then Sam jumped to his feet and sprinted away. Ali lifted up Kyra, who was too weak to walk. Sam stopped in his tracks, smiling. He ran to William, who sat on the ground, looking around confused. Sam hugged William tightly, startling him.
"Sam?" he asked. "Wha…...What happened?"
Sam laughed. "It's a long story, buddy. It's all over though. Ninjago is free, and your back."
Everyone came around the corner to see Sam pulling William to his feet. Ali let Kyra down, and she ran to William embracing him in the biggest hug ever.
Only a few more chapters, and this story will be done. Since this is the third book in my trilogy, I was thinking about making some side stories for this. Of course, those won't be out of a while, since February will be a busy month for me. I hope to wrap up this story within the next week . So, the question for you is would you like to have some side stories for Elementalist, like little adventures with Kyra, William, Jason, Brock, Sam and Ella, along with all the new elemental masters they met along the way in this story. Let me know if you do and it will happen.
Also, there is a week in February, the 15th to the 19th that I will be away, so there won't be any updates in that time period. Again, I will try to continue writing while I'm away so there will be something up within the few days after I get home. I hope everyone understands.
Until next time, I hope you enjoyed and have a wonderful day!
