Chapter 4 : Elemental War
January 16th
9:45 a.m.
Journal Entries : Princess Lydia
"It's been 4 days... and while I'm glad Raiden's okay, his tattoo and his powers are something he's very secretive about, and I know Vex wasn't going to just keep the small power in that scroll unused, and Delilah apparently has a power too, and won't say what it is, and Val knew about it and kept her mouth shut, and as for Monica... she has to know what they're hiding, and I intend to find out what...
In the Royal Palace, Lydia was in the armory looking at her weapons, but she was also looking at her suits as well.
Lydia had started getting more interested in Dark Green as much as Gold, so she started having both on her suits, one that her father made for her was a copy of Lloyd's Zen Extreme Robes, only the base color was Gold instead of Green, with the belt and the sleeves both being Dark Green, and the symbol on the buckle of her belt and on the back of her suit was a Gold Lotus Flower, other than that, the suit looked the same.
Lydia mostly wore her Golden Legacy Robes, her Hunted Armor, or even the Suit she got from the Glass Glaive but she felt like it wasn't always a need, and since they were Golden or Pastel Blue, she sometimes chose not too wear them, since she still liked Green, even if her brother was the Green Ninja.
Just then, her brother actually came into the armory.
Montgomery : Hey sis.
Lydia jumped and turned around to see her brother, and she sighed.
Princess Lydia : Hi, Montgomery.
Montgomery : What are you doing?
Princess Lydia : Thinking.
Montgomery : I can see that, and you're in the armory while doing so, now what's wrong?
Princess Lydia : That attack that happened four days ago, one new friend of mine knows what it is, and I'm going to find out what.
Montgomery : Alone?
Princess Lydia : No, Daddy's coming with me, he's interested since he needs to get a bigger idea of what's attacking Ninjago City.
Montgomery : Okay.
Princess Lydia : If you don't want to believe me that's fine, but this is what's happening, and I'm going to find out why!
Montgomery was taken aback by Lydia's shouting, she was usually meek and shy, but her family disagreeing with her can sometimes set her off.
Montgomery : Wow sis, I wasn't doubting you.
Princess Lydia : If you aren't, someone else will.
Lydia grabbed her Scimitar, and her Zen Extreme Robes, and then left the armory, leaving Montgomery to think about why his sister was acting like this.
20 Minutes Later. . .
In Montgomery and Lydia's Room, Lydia just came out of her closet, but she wasn't wearing her Zen Extreme Robes, since she put them in her backpack.
Lydia was wearing a Kabuki Dress that was similar to the one that Dareth made Nya wear when they were on Chen's Island, only the top was gold, and the bottom was Forest Green, along with the big black, gold, and slightly forest green silk belt wrapped around her waist, and tied in a big loose bow at the back of her waistline and Lydia also was wearing her Golden Hood, which was the same as the one Harumi wore, only the right sleeve was Forest Green, while the left sleeve and hood itself were Gold.
Just then, Lloyd came into the room.
Emperor Lloyd : Lydia?
Princess Lydia : Hi, Daddy.
Emperor Lloyd : Montgomery told me that something went wrong yesterday?
Princess Lydia : Not wrong, weird... I told you, Raiden had Elemental Powers, and those weird scorpions that were attacking the city, he recognized them and freaked out, and he had a Black Scorpion mark on his back.
Emperor Lloyd : So, you think something's up?
Princess Lydia : I think Great Uncle Wu and Grampa Garmadon's past with these "Forgotten Elementals" is catching up to them.
Emperor Lloyd : So, what do you want to do?
Princess Lydia : Find Monica, and head to Meadow's Peak to speak with Raiden, he knows all about these things apparently, and won't say how or why, and I want this to be fixed before it gets out of hand, and if it does, they may very well never be lasting peace again, Mommy and Uncle Brenden were worried about Vex doing something incredibly stupid to change the past to affect our reality, and he may have done so if the city got attacked by Giant Black Scorpions yesterday.
Emperor Lloyd : Well I won't stop you, but do you really want me to take you up to Meadow's Peak, just so you can get a few answers, that place is a Republic, and i'm sure the President wouldn't want us putting his home in danger.
Princess Lydia : Raiden doesn't even live there, he said he goes there often to hang out with his friends, and if those "friends" are even more Forgotten Elemental Masters, then that place will be in danger regardless if we go or not, Daddy.
Lloyd thought about everything Lydia was saying, and she wasn't wrong, Master Wu named quite a few Elemental Masters that Lloyd never knew existed, which made sense on how they were known as the "Forgotten" by Ninjago, and if Lydia wants to get answers before something worse than an attack on Ninjago City happens, he won't stop her.
Emperor Lloyd : Okay Sweetie, let's go.
Princess Lydia : Ultra, Gewuji?
Lydia looked back and saw her dragons smile at her, and they both flew over to her, with Lydia carrying Gewuji in her arms and petting her, and Ultra was sitting on Lydia's head.
Lydia smiled, and she walked out of her room holding her father's hand, and the two of them left the Palace, to find Monica before heading to Meadow's Peak
30 Minutes Later. . .
Lloyd stopped the car outside of an apartment building that looked pretty nice, especially since it had a lobby with an elevator, and a fountain, and Morro was in the lobby waiting for them.
Morro : Lloyd, tell me again why you need to see my wife?
Emperor Lloyd : You already know why, because you were freaked out too, especially after that attack a few days ago, and now all of a sudden, you're trying to keep secrets from me, after I gave you a second chance?
Morro : This stuff I don't want my Son getting involved in again, he was dragged into this mess once, I don't need him feeling even worse after what happened the first time.
Emperor Lloyd : It won't come to that if you let us talk to Monica.
Morro sighed and he pulled out his phone and called Monica.
Morro : Monica.
Monica : Yes, Morro?
Morro : Lloyd is here, and it's safe to say that I trust him at this point, so I think it's best if you talk to him.
Monica : Richard?
Morro : He'll be fine, it's just Lloyd that wants to talk to you.
Monica : Okay, I'll be down in a minute.
Morro ended the call, and after a few minutes, Monica came out of the elevator.
Monica : Your Highness.
Emperor Lloyd : Monica.
Morro walked inside the Elevator, and left the two ( and Lydia ) alone to speak.
Emperor Lloyd : You know this is your past catching up to you, and it'll get worse if you don't talk about it.
Monica : I don't want to lose my son again.
Emperor Lloyd : Yea, well if you want to talk, might as well talk on the way, since Lydia found the Master of Fusion.
Monica : Where?
Princess Lydia : Here in Ninjago City, but he's at Meadow's Peak right now, and we're going to talk with him, since he got injured in that attack a few days ago.
Monica had a tear leave one of her eyes, and she sighed, as she thought about everything that went wrong in her life, and she decided it was time to talk.
Monica : We'll talk when we get there, it'll be easier to explain it around more than just myself.
Emperor Lloyd : Alright then.
The group went to Lloyd's Car, and they drove off and out of Ninjago City to head towards Meadow's Peak in Southeastern Ninjago.
Meanwhile. . .
At Meadow's Peak, Mika Daralga was just leaving her room, and in the living room was her brother along with Raiden, and another person.
Mika : Hey Finn.
Finn : Hey Sis, look who's here.
Mika : I noticed, Hi Raiden.
Raiden : Hello.
Mika : Corentin.
Corentin : Hello, Mika.
Just then, Mika and Finn's Father, The President of Meadow's Peak, Angus Daralga, came into the Living Room.
Angus : Okay kids, I need to head over to city hall to think about that strange attack that happened at Ninjago City.
Mika : Okay, Dad.
Just as Angus opened the door, he saw Lloyd standing there with Lydia.
Emperor Lloyd : President Angus Daralga?
Angus : Emperor Lloyd?
Emperor Lloyd : We need to talk.
Angus : If this is about that treaty, we are a Republic, not a Monarchy, we don't have any business with your home.
Emperor Lloyd : We need your help, it's safe to say all of our homes are at stake.
Angus : And who is we?!
Just then, Lydia and Lloyd both moved over, and Monica was in the doorway.
Monica : Angus.
Monica was a sight to the President's eyes, and he spoke.
Angus : Monica?!
Monica : We need to talk.
Angus knew after so long if Monica was at his front door, then it was important, so he let them in.
Angus : Alright.
Princess Lydia : Raiden?
Raiden jumped when he heard his name and saw Lydia take off her hood, and she looked at him with a blank expression.
Raiden : Princess, what are you doing here?
Princess Lydia : Like my Daddy said, we need to talk.
Mika : Raiden, who is she?
Raiden : The Gold Princess of Ninjago, Lydia Garmadon, I met her four days ago when she started as a Papergirl, though that was when the city was attacked.
Princess Lydia : And you?
Mika : My name is Mika Daralga.
Raiden : This is my brother Corentin, Master of Sprite.
Corentin : Hello.
Mika : This is my colorful brother, Finn, Master of Spectrum.
Princess Lydia : Lydia Garmadon, Master of Creation and Glass.
Finn : You have two elements?!
Princess Lydia : Apparently, my Mommy's Grandparents both had powers, and I inherited Glass, since my cousin Zach inherited Sand, though I think my Glass Power will just end up fusing to Creation.
Monica : Princess.
Lydia sat down, with Angus and Lloyd doing the same, with Lloyd wrapping his arm around Lydia, and Angus sitting next to Mika and Finn, while Monica sighed and started talking.
Monica : My first encounter with the Elemental Masters, was almost 70 Years Ago, in 1977, at the end of the Serpentine Wars. . . shortly after Wu put in the work to track down the missing Elemental Masters. . .
69 Years Ago. . .
Master Wu : It is done, brother Garmadon.
Garmadon : Indeed Wu.
Master Wu : Today Ninjago is finally at peace, a great victory, and one we could not have achieved, without each of you, The Elemental Masters, I am sorry to say the Masters of Sand and Glass, Rachel and Florian, have chosen their path, as for Volcanic, Spectrum, Slime, Fusion, Sprite, Storm, Powder, Electrocution, Repulsion, Northern Light, Void, Sorcery, and Magic... they all remain unknown, but we could not have achieved this victory without all of you, Smoke, Metal, Lightning, Shadow, Gravity, Earth, Fire, Water, Thunder and Spirit, and Time!
Raiden : Wait a Minute!
Now. . .
Raiden : So you're telling us, the Princess' Great-grandparents had fought in the war, and chose to leave the alliance, as for the rest of our ancestors, who all went missing?
Monica : Not exactly, Raiden, now please let me talk.
Princess Lydia : So just like Me, you had two Elemental Powers?
Monica : Yes, though my Power fused with Morro's when Richard was born, though that isn't the point, shortly after the hard fought peace was earned, I had betrayed the alliance due to the growing power of my Grandfather. . .
69 Years Ago. . .
Monica : About 3 weeks before The Hands of Time betrayed the Alliance, I had already done so, they felt "Inspired" by my actions, though I didn't betray the Elemental Alliance for the same reason. . .
Monica : My Stepbrother Alvaro, and Stepfather Gorin had contacted me, about a large unknown island, some distance from Ninjago, in the Endless Sea.
Monica walked inside of some sort of warehouse, near the docks of Ninjago City when it was still being constructed.
Alvaro : There you are Monica... where were you?
Monica : The Monastery of Spinjitzu, I needed to tell The Sons of The First Spinjitzu Master that I was leaving.
Alvaro : I don't think you had too, but it's your call.
Monica : But it wasn't Alvaro, that I was worried about... it was my Grandfather, The Master of Electrocution. . . Lord Taranis.
A Man came into the large room in the warehouse, and he was wearing a black coat, black pants, and gray shoes, with the coat and pants have small gold zig-zag details, and a titanium ring with a small diamond in it.
Taranis : There you are, Monica.
Monica : Grandfather, I know I lost the boy I loved, but is this really necessary right now?
Taranis : Morro's End, is not on you.
Monica : But this will be... I may not have Morro with me anymore, but The Sons of The First Spinjitzu Master and The Elemental Alliance are a completely separate problem.
Gorin : After this is done, there won't be an Elemental Alliance.
Monica : Well thanks Dad, that's real encouraging.
Taranis : Especially since we have some help. . .
The large doors of the warehouse slid open, and it was The Lost Elemental Masters.
Mika : What. . .?
Now. . .
Mika : You mean to say that all the "Missing" Elemental Masters had betrayed the Alliance.
Monica : Some of them willingly... but as for the others, it was by force, not by choice.
69 Years Ago. . .
Monica : Shortly after The Hands of Time had been "defeated" and vanished into time itself, my Grandfather and Stepfather had gathered all of the Forgotten Masters, and had us go to the large uncharted island to scout and map it, with hopes of carrying out their plan, that was the same time I tried to bond with Mika and Finn's Mother... my Stepsister, Caldera.
Caldera : That's why I believe they're making us do this.
Monica : Creating a whole other alliance with power created by the First Spinjitzu Master, and a dictatorship out of blood?
Caldera : It's not like they'll all know it... because at this rate, Wu and Garmadon won't live long enough to tell them. . .
Monica and Caldera were mapping the Island, coming across quite a few open areas, and beautiful locations, despite the rain.
Monica : What could my Grandfather want with this place?
Caldera : What could my Stepfather want out of so many marriages?
Monica had to laugh at what Caldera said, since she was right when Gorin had been married several times, though she never understood why.
Mika : Is that how I have Two Powers?
Monica : Yes Mika, Caldera's Mother had the Elemental Power of Void, and since your father had the power of Spectrum, your mother had the power of Volcanic, and due to her being her mother's only child, she inherited the power of Volcanic, and passed it to you, with your Grandmother passing down the power of Void another generation past Caldera, with your father giving The Power of Spectrum to Finn... as I was saying. . .
Monica : What about Alvaro?
Caldera : What about him?
Monica : He's on the same path as us, only Grandfather trusts him more?
Caldera : Maybe he's not as dark as we think he is, and it's Gorin we have to worry about, but I don't know for sure.
Emperor Lloyd : Okay, can I say something?
Monica : Yes, Your Highness?
Emperor Lloyd : If Taranis and Gorin were having that many turn against the alliance, why were they doing it After the war?
Monica : They saw the Anacondrai as a distraction, they didn't want them, Arcturus, Chen, Clouse, or anyone else in the way, like how Chen made the mistake of how Lilly's Father had betrayed them during the Battle of The Birchwood Forest, little did I know Chen and Clouse would have had a partnership in the future, but I'll get to that part later.
Monica : Fair enough, this place is the biggest on the Island.
Caldera : I'll send a message to the Captain.
About 40 Minutes Later, all of the ships docked at the coast of the huge open section of the island, and they had supplies on the land and still had tons on the ships.
Monica : Gorin and Taranis were aiming to found a Dictatorship on the Island, in an attempt to rule over Ninjago from there, in a way similar to how Chen would have work and people within in the City, only he planned to take Ninjago, and rule from there, rather than to use the island...
Taranis : Well done, Grandchild.
Monica : Y-y-yes, Grandfather.
Monica : There was a sense of determination, and pride in the dark actions he was taking, and it did nothing to strike fear into me after Morro's "Suffocation" and Morro was the only one who could calm him or keep my family from turning down that path, but all he did was keep us at the crossroad, with him gone, there was only one road to go down. . .
Gorin : I hope you will not disappoint with our mission, Monica.
Monica : N-n-n-no... Father.
Alvaro : Father, leave her be!
Gorin turned to see Alvaro staring at them, and Gorin walked away.
Taranis smiled at Alvaro, and he continued to force the people they had with them into working.
Monica took a deep breath, and stopped talking for some time, with tears forming in here eyes.
Raiden : Then what?
Monica : That was it, for a while... six years later, things weren't so special.
May 17th, 1983. . .
Monica : Six years later, they had fully constructed their base of operations for their dictatorship, and due to the storming weather, and power that surrounded this place, with how my Grandfather had built this place, they called it The Kingdom of Lightning, though I wasn't the only one on edge. . .
Monica : My mother Elizabeth, was the only one who kept a close eye over me, ever since the kingdom was founded, my mother gave me the Elemental Power of Spirit, and I had gotten the Elemental Power of Thunder from my Birth Father, but I never knew who he was. . .
Corentin : Are we gonna get to any good parts.
Raiden : Shut up, Corentin.
Monica : I was uneasy. . . afraid, and I could see the brutality this place was going for... It was May 17th, 1983, where my Family decided to take matters into their own hands.
Monica came into a room with a desk and a screen displaying locations and weaponry from Ninjago, and it was the War Room.
Gorin : Monica, there you are. . .
Monica : Yes, f-f-f-Father.
Monica sat down next to Elizabeth, and she could tell her daughter was on edge.
Elizabeth : It'll be okay, honey.
Gorin : We have learnt of the Weaponry, Power, and Major Locations within the Realm of The First Spinjitzu Master, and have built and founded weaponry and a place more powerful, than even HE could have imagined.
Monica : My Stepfather was so determined, designing deadly weaponry, and brutally training all of the Forgotten Masters just to be ready...
Raiden : Ready for what?
Monica : Ready to start a war... though my Mother wasn't the only one who caught wind of it.
Monica : Father, are you sure we must have such discussions, the thought of harming all those people, just for a point.
Gorin : Yes, Monica... we must be ready to show all the power we have, if we are to stand over Ninjago!
Monica : There was too much anger, brutality, in him... my Stepfather had become such an unstable man, and my Mother knew it, though I wasn't sure of what to do...
40 Minutes Later. . .
Monica : After the meeting in the War Room, my Stepbrother and my Mother went to my Grandparents, knowing that they could either speak to Gorin, or contain his actions.
Elizabeth : Father!
Taranis was on his throne, and he saw Elizabeth, Monica, and Alvaro.
Taranis : What is it, Elizabeth?
Elizabeth : Gorin.
Monica : He's out of Control, do you not know what he is doing, he is constructing weaponry beyond anyone's control but his own, and is planning to harm the lives of those who do not deserve to be harmed, all to prove a point, as if we are all oblivious, to his "True" ways of the world!
Alvaro : You cannot allow what he is planning!
Taranis : He is preparing for a war, for us to take the Realm of The First Spinjitzu Master, and have it ruled by he who posses the power that had been used the guard and protect The First Spinjitzu Master!
Monica : Grandmother?
Cynthia : This is out of my hands, Granddaughter, have trust in your Family.
Monica : My Grandparents refused to listen, but Alvaro and my Mother refused to give into them that easily.
After leaving the Throne Room, Alvaro spoke.
Alvaro : We have to warn the city.
Monica : Alvaro, are you crazy, Father will kill us!
Alvaro : Do we have a choice, they cannot fight a war, that they know will end in a loss... we must.
Elizabeth : Listen to your brother, Monica.
Monica : Mom. . .
Elizabeth kissed Monica's forehead, and put her hands on her daughter's face.
Elizabeth : I will always be in your heart.
Monica nodded, and Elizabeth pulled her into a hug, after parting, Elizabeth left Alvaro and Monica, and the two left the Palace, to try and reach Ninjago City. . .
Monica : I knew my Stepfather's actions were a bad omen, though Alvaro made it clear to me that I shouldn't care... but for my Mother's sake, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Princess Lydia : What did you do?
Monica : We warned the city... without turning ourselves in, in hopes they would prepare themselves for the attack, we also delivered a prototype of each weapon my Stepfather was attempting to use to overpower and take the city, in hopes of killing the Commissioner and the Mayor, daring to call them "Merely" symbols of what this world would be, turning our faith into the heart and mind of a Single Madman.
Four Months Later. . .
September 24th, 1983. . .
Monica : Four Months after we warned the city, my Stepfather had an entire warship of the Forgotten Masters and his soldiers, to attack the city, all I could do was hope that they would prepare for it, but my Stepfather's old friend, was my main worry.
Monica : Captain Ricochet.
Ricochet : Show them all no mercy, and do not stop, until they are pleading for their lives, or they all end... on the doorstep to the Realm of the Departed!
After the ships stopped, the Forgotten Maters got off the ships and stood alongside the soldiers, of course they were masked and wore the same clothing as them, so they wouldn't be noticed.
There was a huge wall in front and surrounding the outskirts of the city, and someone yelled out.
Commissioner : ATTACK!
The Citizens and Police Department of Ninjago City immediately starting firing on Gorin and Ricochet's Men, with Monica and Alvaro taking cover and the Forgotten Masters were using their powers to fight back.
Emperor Lloyd : What were Gorin's Weapons?
Angus : Just tell him, Monica.
Monica : *Breathe* They were a special type of ranged weapon, that could fire a genetically and technologically modified insect, that could easily rip the body apart, to where it would cause massive blood loss, causing death in just seconds, though thick enough clothing material, or any armor, or just downright bulletproof clothing, could stop them from eating through you, but it didn't stop casualties... on both sides.
Mika : What do you Mean?
Monica and Alvaro were moving closer to the city, and Alvaro secretly threw one of the weapons towards the Commissioner, and he caught it, and started firing at the men protecting Ricochet.
Monica : Alvaro and I were attempting to turn the tide of the war, by using my Stepfather's own weapons against his army, and it proved to be too much once the citizens realized the weapon could be used by whoever possessed it.
Ricochet : RETREAT!
Monica : We all retreated from the city... but it wouldn't have been the last that Ninjago would have seen of my Stepfather, and just in case, Alvaro had recorded the entire attack with his camera, just to make sure that Gorin and Ricochet's Actions wouldn't go unseen.
Monica : But it wasn't enough, not with them still breathing. . .
18 Hours Later. . .
Monica : Once we returning to the kingdom, we were all outside in a Rainstorm, as Gorin was lecturing all of us for failure.
Gorin : I cannot believe this, you should have crushed them, fought to the death, even if it meant death of your own side, just to ensure we would not back down, and I will not take insubordination!
Monica : He didn't take No for an answer, and refused to let our side go unpunished...
Gorin ordered for the Master of Magnetism ( Gwendolyn's Grandfather ) to come forward.
Master : At this rate sir, with the path you are taking us, you will never have our kingdom, stand over Ninjago.
Gorin : No... I will RULE IT!
Gorin fired the gun at the Master of Magnetism, and the bugs slowly started eating through his clothes and around him, dismembering both his legs, and his hands, and causing massive blood loss, killing him in less than a minute
Mika : He killed one of the Elemental Masters?!
Monica : He made it clear, he was not to be disappointed, if we wanted to "live" alongside him after his "Victory"
9 Months Later. . .
June 20th, 1984. . .
Monica : Almost a year later, my Stepfather had ordered perfection, and demanded violence and order in Ninjago, and had us kill, and kill, and capture anyone who would get in his way, just for him to show the entire world of his power, when he wasn't even the one on the throne, but he dared to call my grandfather weak, just because of him having a real heart, but unfortunately... I couldn't be protected any longer.
Monica : My Mother, had ordered me to head to Ninjago City to warn the Commissioner, and tell them the location of our land, just for them to bring the fight to us, even though Gorin and Ricochet would know of such an action... and she knew I wouldn't pay the price for it, but that's why I refused.
Monica : No...
Elizabeth : Monica, you must.
Monica : NO... I Can't lose you too!
Monica was crying and hugging her mother, and Elizabeth put her hands on her daughters face, and spoke to her.
Elizabeth : Remember what I told you long ago.
Monica : Y-y-you would always have your place in my heart.
Elizabeth : You won't ever be without me, Monica.
Monica cried as Elizabeth kissed her daughter's cheek, and they hugged.
Monica : I knew she was right... and I agreed to do so, even if it meant being the end, of the only family I had left.
Finn : Your Mother...
Mika : What did our Grandfather do?!
7 Months Later. . .
January 17th, 1985. . .
Monica : The tide was turned, and my Grandfather ordered an immediate lockdown on the Island, after we were repeatedly attacked by the Elemental Alliance and the forces that came from Ninjago... but my Stepfather discovered long before that, that I sold information to them...
Gorin : I warned you all, of what was to happen, should any of you, BETRAY ME!
Monica : By now, my Grandparents, my Stepbrother, and the rest of the Elemental Masters knew of Gorin's Rage, and his actions, to even his own side, but to our family... was what pushed him over the edge.
Gorin : My own wife decided to stab me in the back.
Elizabeth : You never loved her... you loved what she could give you, and without any love in her heart, you could easily persuade her into bowing down at your feet, Morro could say just as Much!
Monica : W-w-w-What?!
Corentin : So that's why you said it as if Morro didn't Suffocate. . .
Monica : He didn't... My Grandmother had revealed that Morro... that he was Murdered by Pythor, in the Caves of Despair, Morro was become so determined to find the tomb, even though he knew it would have never been found by him, and Pythor stabbed him in the back with the Anacondrai Sword, making him bleed to death in about 10 Minutes, and he wrote a message to me, though I'll get to that. . . and how Pythor wasn't entombed yet.
Gorin : I'm not mad at you Monica... I'm just disappointed, and we all know, what we do to the disappointments.
Monica was crying and rapidly breathing as Gorin grabbed an Anacondrai Sword that he had stolen from an Anacondrai, and raised it.
Monica : No... NO!
Elizabeth had tears in her eyes, as she said her final words to her daughter.
Elizabeth : I... l-l-l-Love you, Monica.
Gorin raised the sword as he walked in front of Elizabeth, and sent it straight into her chest, and fired his gun at her chest as well, with the bugs eating at a certain part of her chest, until he called them back to his weapon, and he pulled the sword out, ripping out Elizabeth's Heart.
Monica : NOOOOOOOOO!
Monica fell into her Grandfather's arms, and she let her hold him and he rubbed her back as she cried, with Taranis watching in shock, and pain, that Gorin just killed his daughter.
Monica : He killed my Mother... in exchange for sparing my Own.
Raiden : Then what?
Monica : He wasn't gonna let me live... and I knew it, but I had to find the answer I was looking for, after I knew Morro was murdered.
2 Weeks Later. . .
Monica : I still wasn't over the Execution of my Mother, but I didn't let it stop me, I went to the Caves of Despair, in hopes of finding Morro's body, and the message he left, and when I reached the end of the Map that Alvaro gave me, I found his body, and the scroll he wrote on.
Monica had grabbed the scroll off of Morro's Corpse, and unrolled it to read his message.
"To whoever is reading this... my name is Morro Ventus, this may be the last anyone hears of me... I am the Elemental Master of Wind, living in a time of war and greed that one cannot escape from, there is a family out there, and a young girl fighting for a real difference in this time of war, her name is Monica Gaskill, she is the Master of Spirit and Thunder, she was the love of my life... the one who saw I could make a difference in the world, regardless of the color I wore, and the kind of man I was...
Monica unrolled more of the scroll, and saw what else was written
"I was attacked by Pythor, I'm slowly reaching my end here in The Caves of Despair, to anyone who finds this message, find my love, and warn her and her family of the threat that is coming to her, Gorin Daralga is planning to show us all to our end, in a way far more powerful than even our Realm's Creator could have imagined, Master Wu... he wasn't aggressive, and I thought he wasn't aggressive enough, he wanted to strengthen me, not turn me into a man of brutality, and I am strengthening myself, by giving a warning to the love of my life, in my last dying breath, just know...
Monica unrolled the last part of the scroll, and read it.
"That you can only save those who want to be saved, and if they don't want to be saved, then maybe they don't deserve to be... and just because your side wins, doesn't mean all on your side do... and if my heart finds this message... I love you, Monica."
Monica cried as she put the scroll down, but as she did, she heard slithering, and as she was turning around, she felt a sharp pain go through her chest, and saw it was Pythor!
Monica clutched the dagger he sent into her chest, and as she did, she saw her stepbrother
Alvaro : NO!
Alvaro used his Powers, since he shared a weaker power of Volcanic, like his sister, due to a spell that Ricochet had learned from Clouse.
He blasted Pythor, and buried him under rocks, and used a radio to mark his location, for Wu and Garmadon to find him.
Alvaro got on his knees and picked up Monica bridal style in his arms, and saw she was holding the scroll, in one hand over her chest, and she had her other hand on the dagger.
Monica : Grandfather... Alvaro...
Alvaro : What Monica, what?!
Monica : Take... me to our Grandfather. . .
Alvaro nodded as tears left his eyes, and he ran out of the cave and used his Elemental Dragon to make it back
20 Minutes Later. . .
Monica was bleeding out, and she was turning more pale, knowing she was running out of time, Alvaro yelled out as he carried Monica inside.
Alvaro : GRANDFATHER!
Alvaro entered the Throne Room, with the other Elemental Masters in there talking to him and Cynthia, while Gorin was nowhere to be found.
Taranis : MONICA!
Taranis kneeled down as Alvaro placed Monica on the ground, and she was bleeding out.
Taranis : I can help you.
Monica : Don't save those who don't want to be saved. . .
Monica : My Grandfather knew what our world had become, was one I didn't want to live in, but I did want him to turn our world into one that could be, with the time he had left.
Monica handed Taranis the scroll and she spoke.
Monica : Please Grandfather...
Monica coughed up blood, and Taranis placed his hands on Monica's Face, and he was having her speak to him.
Taranis : Monica?!
Monica : Please... please make this place, into the new hopeful world my Mother sought it to be, and be the Father, Leader, and Honest Man that my Mother knew you were from the very beginning.
Taranis nodded as he started crying, and Monica kissed his hand, before she closed her eyes and let out her last dying breath, and passed away in Taranis and Alvaro's arms.
Taranis : NO!
Monica : That was where it was left for a long time. . .until 2016.
Raiden : What happened then?
Monica : The Day of The Departed. . .
October 27th, 2016. . .
Monica : Shortly after Lloyd and his friends left the Museum, Morro and I were brought back, I was declared a villain for aiding my Stepfather in his attacks, and since I was Dead by then. . .
The Statues were covered with Yang's Magic, and they were brought back to life. . .
Samukai : Who, who are you?!
Morro : I should ask you, the same thing!
Monica : I had looked at the others, before I looked Morro in the eye, and he saw Me.
Morro : M-m-Monica?
Monica : Morro?!
Morro nodded, and Monica had tears leave her eyes as she ran towards him with open arms.
Monica : MORRO!
Morro ran toward her as well, and spun her around in his arms, with the two sharing a tight embrace.
Raiden : So thirty years without him did a number on you?
Monica : Don't even start, it's not that funny... not yet at least.
( a/n for those wondering, up until a year back, Morro was still Cursed, and Monica was Departed, that's why they hadn't seen each other since the 1970s )
Morro and Monica kissed each other on the lips, and the two tightened their embrace, and tears left Monica's eyes, after they parted from their kiss.
Monica : I... I missed you!
Morro : You died... what happened?!
Monica : I died in the Throne Room of my Grandfather's Kingdom, nearly a half hour after Pythor had stabbed me.
Morro : He... he Murdered you too?!
Monica : I found your message... I did.
Morro had a huge sense of guilt in him, thinking his message got his love killed, but they were back, for now at least, so he didn't care.
Chen tried to move his chair, which caused the two to break their embrace as he made a crash.
Chen : Still Alright!
Samukai : What is going on here?
Cryptor : Well, the skinny man in the silky girl robes can't control his chair, and-
Monica : He meant with us, you Scumbag!
Morro : Perhaps he, can explain!
Morro pointed to the painting of Yang, and they all walked over as Chen managed to get his chair to that position.
Monica stood in between Cryptor and Morro, holding onto Morro's Arm, and while he didn't know how, he was glad the two were reunited.
Yang emerged from the picture, and spoke.
Yang : My Magic has brought you back from The Departed Realm to Ninjago, but you can only remain for the duration of the Eclipse, unless. . .
Chen : Unless?
Yang : Unless you destroyed the Ninja, who destroyed You, use your Departed Blades to take their place among the Living!
Monica saw she had a Dagger while Morro had a copy of the Sword of Sanctuary, it made sense for her to have a Dagger, since it was her favorite weapon.
Just then, Pythor came into the hall of villainy.
Pythor : Hall of Villainy... more like Hall of Empty-ny
Pythor grabbed the staff of of his statue, and went to the others.
Yang : The Ninja are dispersed around Ninjago, and you will have Revenge!
They cheered, except for Monica, since she had no beef with the Ninja, or Wu for that matter.
Pythor : Someone say Revenge, I want in!
Pythor noticed a few familiar faces, and spoke to each he recognized.
Pythor : Awe Cryptor, my loyal friend
He looked up, and saw the skinny man in the silky girl robes sitting in the chair.
Pythor : Chen.
Chen : Pythor.
He looked down, and saw two he was surprised to see.
Pythor : Morro and Monica?!
Monica held onto Morro's arm, since he knew she was scared of him, and he coldly spoke to the White Anacondrai.
Morro : Oh, Go to hell.
Yang : You must each choose a Ninja, and-
Samukai : I call Zane!
Cryptor : No, he's my Clone!
Pythor : Technically you're his clone.
Chen : The Blacksmith's Brats are Mine!
Pythor : How come you get two?!
The others started fighting, with Monica standing behind Morro, since he was just protecting her.
Yang : SILENCE... Time is wasting, and I have my own thing going on, So work, it, OUT!
A Very Short Moment Later...
Chen : I have a score to settle with Nya, so she's mine, her brother too.
Pythor : Lloyd, I destroyed the Father, well more or less, it's finally time to destroy, the Son.
Cryptor : I'll take Zane!
Samukai : What about you girly, you gonna help Chen, or take some other ally of the Ninja, you don't exactly have a quarrel with them like the rest of us.
Monica : I'll take Misako.
Pythor : Why her?
Monica : I'd like for the green bean to see her, just before she dies.
Pythor laughed and he spoke.
Pythor : Why did I attempt to Murder you to begin with.
Morro : Shut up, you scaly piece of-
Monica : Morro, please stop!
Morro : *Sigh* Master Wu, we left things, unfinished, I'll settle our debt, once, and for all!
Samukai : Ugh, that only leaves Jay, one Ninja, but two of us, okay Rock, Paper, Scissors, One, Two, Three, One, Two, Three, eh that doesn't seem work.
Then Kozu pointed at Dareth
Kozu : I want Him!
Samukai : Yes.
Pythor : Then it's settled, although the Ninja won't go easily, perhaps we can use, some help?
Cryptor : The Hall of Sidekicks.
Pythor : Convenient, is it not?
The group walked towards the door, and Monica spoke.
Monica : Morro's all the help I need, Fighting, and Walking.
Morro swept Monica up into his arms bridal style, and he kissed her on the lips as they walked.
Pythor : Lovebirds.
Morro and Monica : Shut up.
Chen : Aren't they the Masters of Wind, and Spirit and Thunder, that you Murdered?!
Monica : Yes, I assume my Stepfather told you?
Chen : I kept my nose out of Gorin's business, but you should know he hasn't returned to Ninjago since you died, your Grandfather kept a tight leash on him after he ordered Pythor to kill you, and after Gorin slaughtered your Mother.
Monica : Fair enough, though Lovebird is being generous for Morro, Green Ninja or not, he's the bad boy.
Morro kissed Monica, and after parting, she smiled at him, and Morro let her down.
Monica : I'm going to help Morro end his Master first, the last time the two fought, it didn't end well for him.
Pythor : No Misako?
Morro : The Corridor of Elders isn't far from the Monastery, she'll head straight there after my Master meets his end.
Pythor : Very well.
Raiden : What happened then?
Emperor Lloyd : Well obviously she and Morro went to warn Master Wu, and what happened next was far different than what I expected.
Monica : He's right on that
20 Minutes Later. . .
Master Wu : An Eclipse is always an Omen, but is this one a sign of Good, or Bad?
Morro : Bad... Very Bad.
Wu immediately then turned around, and saw Morro and he saw Monica standing next to him, but she had her hood on, which was similar to the same hood Morro wore when he possessed Lloyd, only it wasn't having green effects around it, since she wasn't cursed, and it wasn't tattered or had holes, it was part of an armor plate that was around the top of her torso and her breasts, and had a light yellow highlight accent around the edges.
Master Wu : Well, my Former Student, how have you returned... Morro?
Wu pulled out his staff, as Morro pulled out the sword, and Monica came down and had her hood up and she walked out of the Monastery's Remains, and spoke.
Monica : The Question is not how... but Why?
Wu recognized that voice, and spoke.
Master Wu : Monica?!
Monica : Sensei... been a while.
Master Wu : Your Grandfather told me what happened to you.
Monica : Yes, and my Mother?
Master Wu : Her too.
The three stood there in a triangle, with Monica pulling off her hood, and letting her long wavy jet black hair down and both of them staring at Wu.
Morro saw Monica's hair, and a few strands were dangling around the sides of her face, and there was a braid tied across the back so it wouldn't be that long, and leaves strands going down her shoulders as well.
Master Wu : I fought each of you twice before, and although it would pain me, I will do so again, If I must!
Morro stood down and so did Monica, lowering their weapons, and Morro spoke
Morro : No, you misunderstand, we're not here to fight here, we're here to warn you.
Monica : Master Yang has put your team in terrible danger.
Being intrigued, Wu spoke.
Master Wu : What has Yang done?
Morro : He's made you forget one of your one, one who is already slipping away.
Master Wu : Tell me more.
Morro : I will, but aboard the Bounty, we have to warn the others.
Monica : You do that... I need to help Lloyd.
Monica : I said I would, and if I don't go to the Corridor of Elders, Pythor will get suspicious, he's the only enemy who isn't Dead, and if he survives this day, he surely will comeback to stab another Elemental Master.
Master Wu : What does she mean?!
Morro undid the tattered part of his suit around his shoulder, and revealed a large scar over his chest.
Master Wu : He... he Murdered you!
Morro : He did the same to Monica, eight years later.
Monica : And I intend for him to settle his debt, I'll meet you back at the Museum!
Morro : Okay.
Morro kissed Monica's cheek, and she left with her Elemental Dragon, while Morro and Wu took the bounty.
Meanwhile, 10 Minutes Later. . .
Lloyd : I know Dad's gone, but sometimes it's like, he's still with me.
Lloyd and Misako walked for a moment, before something quickly moved past them and went behind the rocks, making the two of them suspicious of what it was.
They heard slithering, and Lloyd saw who it was. . .
While Monica, landed her dragon on top of the cliff, on one of the elder's heads and pulled on her hood, as she shook her head and glared at Pythor.
Pythor : Lloyd, when we last met, I decided to help you and your father, Garmadon defeat Chen, do you remember why?
Lloyd : You said something about how if anyone was going to take over the world, you'd rather it'd be you.
Pythor : Precisely, time to finish the job!
Monica : Come on, Green Ninja, do something already!
Misako heard something and Monica hid behind the statue's head, and she was confused, thinking she saw a familiar person up there, but Pythor's Movement got her attention.
Misako : Pythor, what are you doing?
Pythor : Giving the kid a one way ticket to join his, daddy!
Lloyd : Sorry, I don't really feel like going on vacation!
Lloyd jumped back off Pythor's Chest, and got in a fighting stance, with Monica pulling out her dagger, and Pythor looking at her, and she nodded, telling him to make a move.
Pythor : But it's a holiday, respect your Elders!
Pythor threw his staff, and knocked the statue on top of Lloyd.
Misako : Lloyd!
Lloyd caught the statue, but was barely able to hold it up, as it was slowly crushing him, since it was too heavy.
Lloyd : I Can't, hold... On!
Misako : Yes you can!
Pythor : Fool, you Elemental Masters continuously underestimate me, you're so like your Father and Uncle... a recent blowhard you fought against as well!
Lloyd : Morro...?!
Pythor : Yes.
Lloyd : What do you know about Morro?!
Pythor : Oh a lot actually, you didn't think suffocation was the cause of his death, did you, I was the one who sent him to the Departed Realm.
Misako : *Gasp* You Murdered him!
Pythor : And he's not the only one, I do that to all who are so like the Sons of The First Spinjitzu Master.
Misako : He's right Lloyd, you're Brave, and Noble, and-
Lloyd : And a Master of Spinjitzu... you are still with me Dad, Ninja-Go!
Lloyd used Spinjitzu to get the statue off of him, and when it fell over, Monica got out her dagger, and had her hood on, and jumped off the statue, as Misako ran past him to get to Lloyd.
Monica suddenly appeared in a Light-Yellow Tornado mid-air and ran at Pythor... she was using Spinjitzu.
Monica : Ninja-Go!
The tornado caught Pythor, and threw him at the ground, as she got in a Fighting Stance with her Dagger.
Lloyd : Who the heck are you?!
Monica : An Old Friend.
Pythor : I should have guessed.
Monica : Samukai was right, I have no quarrel with the Ninja, you however... *Chuckles* Oh where do I even start.
Misako knew who's voice that was, and was shocked as she spoke.
Misako : Monica?!
Monica : Hello Misako
Lloyd : How do you know my Mom?!
Misako : She fought with us during The Serpentine War, before she betrayed the Alliance.
Monica : I redeemed myself before I lost my life during The Elemental War... but by who's hand did I lose my life... that answer is right in front of you!
Monica used her powers and violently clapped her hands together, causing the ground to shake, and fired a large white glowing sphere above them, and suddenly a bunch of beams that had hands formed at the end of them, came out of the sphere and started blasting Pythor.
Lloyd : What's her power.
Misako : Thunder and Spirit.
Lloyd : She has Two Elements?!
Monica : Yea, and your power is like all of the Elements of Creation rolled into one, what difference does Two Elements make to an Element made up of four?!
Pythor : This traitorous bitch, got you there!
Monica : What did you just call Me?!
Monica removed her hood, and growled at Pythor.
Pythor : Oh dear.
Monica : Go!
Lloyd and Misako went on top of the statues just as Pythor came forward and knocked Monica over, as he hit the head of his staff in Monica's Face, briefly stunning her.
Lloyd and Misako went across the statues, with Misako looking back once she was on the head of Garmadon's Statue, and Pythor knocked her over, with her hanging on the edge, when Lloyd landed on the statue, and glared at Pythor before blasting the staff out of his hands.
Monica then woke up, and she jumped up the cliff to reach the statue and ignited her powers as she stood beside Lloyd in front of Pythor with her Dagger.
Misako jumped back up, and stood beside them, as Monica spoke.
Monica : Leave... Now!
Pythor : I should have never let you leave that Museum with your lover.
Monica : You Murdered him in Cold Blood, and no water or fire, could wash or burn away the stain!
Pythor : You are so like your Mother, confident, meek, determined... it's a wonder she lasted as long as she did.
Monica : Had it not been for my arrogant stepfather, and his brutalization, and his oblivious ways he saw the world, I'd have seen you executed, for your crimes... you White Worm!
Pythor : I will, come back for You!
Pythor jumped off the statue, and Monica glared and shook her head at him as he landed, but she chose to let him go... for Now.
Lloyd : You think he's gone for good?
Monica : Of course not, that traitorous being is a Cat as much as a White Worm, he has Nine Lives.
Misako : Really Monica... why are you here?
Monica : For him to settle his debt, and he will... but not now.
Misako : Wu told me you were Dead!
Monica : I was, so was Morro, Samukai, Kozu, Chen, and Cryptor, but they're back, how am I any different.
Lloyd and Misako : What?!
Monica : Head to the Museum, your Master will have have your answers.
Monica used her dragon and flew away from the Corridor of Elders, towards Ninjago City, and Lloyd spoke.
Lloyd : Mom... who the heck was that?!
Misako : An Old Friend, Enemy, and Ally... but who she is now, that I don't know.
Lloyd and Misako got into Lloyd's Vehicle from The Ultra Stealth Raider, and starting riding back to Ninjago City.
20 Minutes Later. . .
As The Bounty was over the City now, and heading towards the Museum, Morro and Wu were talking.
Morro : That's why Yang released them... he may not ever let go of his determined goal, to live forever, despite not accepting nobody lives forever, not even your Father.
Monica landed her dragon on the ship, and pulled off her hood.
Master Wu : Monica, how did you fare?
Monica : Alive and well, they're waiting at the Museum by now, I bet.
Morro kissed Monica on the lips, and Wu spoke.
Master Wu : I see after so much time, the love between you two will go to the end of the Ninjago and to the end of Time itself?
Monica : Yes.
The Bounty landed, and Wu spoke.
Master Wu : Let me, Explain.
Morro : Not a word, of our Chests... got it?
Master Wu : I understand Morro... I do, I will not say a word.
Jay : Guys, I have the ghost story to end all ghost stories, you will never guess what just happened.
Kai : You battle the possessed Mannequin of a Mortal Enemy?
Nya : He and his goons tried to send you to the Departed Realm with magic blades?
Zane : But you defeated them first.
Lloyd : And saw their ghost disappear into the Night.
Jay : Well okay fine you guessed, well since you know so much, why were all those ghosts out here?
Monica : Why don't you ask one, yourself?
Lloyd : Monica.
Monica : Lloyd. . .
The Ninja turned to see Monica standing behind Wu, and Wu then spoke.
Master Wu : Because distracting you was part of Master Yang's Plan.
Morro : And he had help.
Lloyd : Morro!
All the Ninja pulled out their weapons, and got ready to fight.
Jay : Anymore villains want to show up tonight?
Kai : We stopped Five, what's one More?!
Monica laughed and the Ninja glared at her.
Monica : This is fun and all, but unless you have Deepstone on you, you know Nya's the only one who can stop him, right?
Nya winked at the boys, and they rolled their eyes, when it came to ghosts, Nya was the strongest Ninja.
Kai : Who the heck are you?!
Monica : Somebody else who encountered a Master of Fire, Water, Lightning, and Ice before.
Nya : You knew our Parents?!
Jay : And my Birth Mother?
Zane : Who are You?!
Master Wu : She is an Old Friend of mine, and put away your weapons Now, Monica and Morro are here to help, you know that Lloyd!
Lloyd : Yes. . .
The Ninja stood down, and Wu spoke.
Master Wu : Alright Morro, tell them, now.
Morro : Master Yang tricked Cole into helping him open a rift, for him to return to Ninjago.
Jay : Cole, how'd he trick you?
Zane : Jay, Cole isn't here.
Jay : Are you sure, he's been fading a lot lately, he's kind of easy to miss.
Ninja : *Gasp* We Forgot Cole!
Master Wu : To the Bounty, they must be at the Temple of the Airjitzu Master.
The Ninja got on the ship, and Wu thanks his old friends.
Master Wu : Thank you, my former pupils.
Monica : Anything for a Friend. . .
Master Wu : I understand your reasons to fight for your Grandfather and Stepfather, Monica, and I have no shame or regret in saying this... you are Forgiven.
Monica had a tear leave her eyes as she and Wu hugged, and Morro then tapped Monica's Shoulder, and the two parted.
Morro : Go, before it's too late.
Master Wu : Thank you, Morro.
Morro : Happy Day of The Departed, Master.
Wu got on the ship and it flew away.
Just as Morrow as about to walk inside, Monica grabbed his hand.
Monica : Morro. . .
Morro saw the look in Monica's eyes, and knew what she was thinking.
Morro : I don't know, babe.
Monica : Pythor still has a debt to settle with Me... with both of us!
Morro could tell that wasn't the reason, and Monica wanted to be home, with him again.
Morro kissed Monica on the lips, and a tear left his eye as he nodded.
Morro : Okay. . .
Monica and Morro used their Elemental Dragons and flew towards Yang's Temple.
Mika : Okay, this is nice and all, but are we almost done, we've been sitting on this couch, talking about your past, for over an hour.
Raiden and Lydia : Shut up, Mika!
Corentin : Go on, Monica.
Monica : After a few minutes, we reached the Temple, and Morro used his powers to break through the wind for us to get through.
10 Minutes Later. . .
Monica : The Ninja couldn't break through the wind, and as Yang and Cole were flying towards the rift, we made our move.
Monica : Morro, it's now or Never!
Morro : Let's Go!
Morro wrapped his arms around Monica's Waist and used airjitzu to help bring her through the rift with him, they were going faster with Morro using his powers at the same time, and just as Yang threw Cole towards the rift, Monica and Morro jumped and made it through as well, just as the rift exploded.
20 Minutes Later. . .
Monica and Morro woke up, to see the Ninja surround Cole and hug him.
Nya : You look good as new!
Cole : Pretty much, thank you Nya.
Kai : Speaking of good as new.
Master Wu : Ah, The Temple of The Airjitzu Master, has been returned to it's original condition.
Zane : It's beautiful!
Cole : You know, that would be a pretty cool place for a Ninja to train.
Monica quickly wrote something down and threw a piece of paper at Master Wu.
Wu felt the paper hit his head, as he briefly walked away with the Ninja deciding to contact Jay's Parents and Cole's Father, and Skylor... when Wu looked at the paper and read it.
"One more thing good as new. . ."
Wu looked up to see behind a tree, was Morro and Monica, and they were both mortal again, smiling at him, and he smiled back.
Master Wu : And my former pupils, have returned to my Father's Realm.
Wu looked at the Ninja, before Monica frowned and had a pleading look in her eyes, and Wu understood that they didn't want to be found... not now.
Wu smiled and nodded as he walked towards them and the three of them hugged.
Master Wu : Tonight, you two are well more than forgiven, and have earned more than just my respect from your redemption.
Monica : Thank you, Wu.
Morro : This is Goodbye-
Master Wu : For now... I know, I will see you both once again, farther in Time.
Monica kissed Wu's Cheek, and held Morro's hand, as he used his dragon and Monica climbed on and wrapped her arms around his waist, and they flew away into the night, as Monica released a golden colored lantern instead of Orange, meaning she was having it stand for Creation, for her and Morro's remembrance of their time as Wu's Students.
Master Wu : Farewell, my former pupils. . .
Raiden : Then what?
Monica : Nothing... not for a long time, It wasn't until 2036 when Morro and I resurfaced from our hiding at Stixx. . .
September 7th, 2036. . .
Morro walked inside the house, and saw Monica sitting in the Living Room.
Monica : Stixx wasn't the greatest place for us to be in Ninjago, but I was with Morro, and that was all I needed to be happy, but one more thing that could have made me happier, was what I was about to tell him. . .
Morro : Hey honey.
Monica : Hi, Morro!
Morro : You seem to be in a good mood.
Monica : I have something to tell you.
Morro came into the living room and sat down, and he looked at her.
Morro : I'm listening.
Monica had a tear leave her eye, as she spoke to Morro.
Monica : I... I'm just gonna say there's a bun in my oven, Morro.
Monica rubbed her stomach, and Morro's eyes widened as Monica stood up, and so did he.
Morro : Monica... you, you're saying.
Monica : I'm Pregnant, Morro!
Morro pulled Monica into an embrace and spun around with her in his arms, and the two cried of joy, as Morro then kissed his wife on the lips, and Monica happily returned the kiss. . .
Just then, the news came on. . .
Gayle Gossip : Hello Ninjago, this is Gayle Gossip, with Breaking News, after twenty years, we believe a threat has come to Ninjago, as a possible sighting in Stixx may lead to the confirmed survival of a former Ninja Enemy, Morro Ventus... he was last seen by the Ninja on the Day of The Departed in 2016, but hasn't been here since, and if he's here and alive, why was he seen now?
Morro : Darn it!
Monica : You got spotted?!
Morro : Apparently.
Monica : We can't be found Morro, I don't want to lose-
Mika : You okay?
Monica : It's just hard to talk about, with what happened some time later. . . even so, I only had one idea of where we could go, to take care of my baby.
Monica : Morro... what about-
Morro : No, no no, and NO... we are not going back to Taranis and Gorin!
Monica : What choice do we have, I don't want to lose my little baby, not after all of this... my Grandfather saw the darkness behind Gorin, not only did I lose my Mother, but that was his daughter that Gorin killed too, and he killed The Master of Magnetism, and ordered Pythor to kill both of us, he said it right to my face, we can trust him!
Morro bit his lip, and shook his head, despite how much he despised Monica's Family, he knew she was right. . .
Morro : Okay, pack your stuff, We leave in 10 Minutes!
Monica nodded and went to the Master Bedroom she shared with Morro, to start packing her clothes, will Morro was making a call to who Monica assumed was Alvaro.
Morro : Hello?!
Alvaro : I just saw the news... you are alive.
Morro : Alvaro, regardless of how much I despise your family, Monica and I need to come there?!
Alvaro : Why... my Father ordered Pythor to kill both of you, he killed The Master of Magnetism, Elizabeth, and almost even Ricochet for retreating, why are you coming now?
Morro : Monica has a "bun in her oven".
Alvaro : You're saying. . .?!
Morro : She's Pregnant, that's Why!
Alvaro : I'll tell my Grandfather, you better hurry up though, I don't want any more loose ends.
Morro : Alright.
9 1/2 Minutes Later. . .
Monica had a duffel bag around her shoulder, and Morro had a large backpack, that he attached to the side of his Elemental Dragon.
Morro : Alright honey, let's go!
Monica jumped up and wrapped her arms around Morro's waist, just as the Dragon flew up and away from Stixx.
After a minute, Monica looked back to see a few police officers entering their house, meaning they got out of there just in time. . .
Monica : I knew it was a bad omen to return to my home, but protecting my baby was all I cared about anymore. . .
15 Minutes Later. . .
Once Morro and Monica reached The Kingdom of Lightning ( Which surprisingly wasn't in a storm right now, and sunny ) the two landed their dragon near the front gate.
The gate opened, and Alvaro was standing there next to Kenzie, Monica's Sister, The Master of Electrocution.
Alvaro : There you are.
Monica : Alvaro. . .
Monica threw herself into her stepbrother's arms, since she couldn't describe how much she really missed her.
Kenzie : Little Sister. . .
Monica : Well hello Kenzie, I wonder how many goats you've kept from crossing a bridge.
Morro laughed, and Kenzie rolled her eyes.
Monica and Kenzie didn't always have a good relationship, though they came through for each other when it counted.
Morro : Where's Taranis?
Alvaro : Throne Room, come on.
The four walked inside and went straight to the Throne Room to speak with Monica's Grandfather, Lord Taranis.
The group reached the doors and Alvaro threw them open, with Monica and Morro coming forward, with Monica smiling slightly as she rubbed her hand across her stomach.
Taranis : You've returned, Grandchild.
Taranis stood up, and walked towards Monica.
Monica : Grandfather, listen... you can hate me for this, and-
Taranis immediately pulled Monica into a hug, and the two stayed there for an entire minute.
Taranis : I'm happy for you, really I am.
Monica : Yea, and what about Dad?
Taranis : Don't worry about Gorin, I told him you two were coming, but he knows I can easily sentence him for treason if he does anything to you two.
Kenzie : How far is it?
Monica : One month, but I'm really happy that we'll be able to have a family.
Taranis : I trust you've taken care of her?
Morro : Day and Night, ever since we came back to Ninjago.
Taranis : You remember where your room is Sweetie, and if you want, you can have Morro in there with you.
Monica : Thank you, Grandfather.
Alvaro led Monica and Morro to Monica's Quarters, and they closed the door behind them, and were glad that they would be safe until their child was born.
Finn : It was Richard, right?
Raiden : Ding, ding, ding, you got one right.
Princess Lydia : Why would you ask that?
Mika : Monica had more than one child.
Monica : I'll get to that later. . . okay?
1 Minute Later.
Monica took a deep breath, and stood up.
Monica : Guys, I think that's enough talking for now, can we take a break?
Emperor Lloyd : Yes, we'll finish this talk later.
Mika : Yea, we still don't know how those Forgotten Masters went all over the place.
Monica : I'll get to that part later...
.
.
.
Monica : I promise.
Next Time on The Elemental Legion : Monica then tells the events of what happened after her son's birth, and the events of what happened during the pregnancy of her second child, and what happened to her before she and Morro brought their son to Ninjago, but what's leading to all of the Forgotten Masters being revealed, may bring The Young Ninja into a heap of Trouble. . .
