Previously on Ninjago: The Ninjas have got the second scroll to combat Aspheera, they fought back and faced Aspheera as two sides clashed, Zane defeated her and her army with his enhanced ice abilities and was about to give the scroll to Wu. But before he can hand it over to him however, Aspheera uses her staff that was about to hit Wu but Zane pushes him out of the way, getting him hit instead, with Harumi in the process when she tries to get him out of the beam. What will happen to them? Will the Ninjas find a way to follow them or will they lose their friends forever? Find out now!

A/N: I know I said that I will be focusing on Harumi but I will show you what will happen with the Ninjas in this chapter after two of their best friends vanished. So I'm gonna give some chapters that focus on both ninjas and harumi if I have the time, so here's this chapter of the aftermath of the battle. And F,y,I I just keep getting writers blocks so I just don't have enough inspiration to update quick on this story, but rest to assure you, I am not canceling it, it's just a slow update, don't worry, I'm not giving up on this story.

Chapter 11: A Cold Goodbye

The Ninjas were walking in a hallway with sad faces, Lloyd was a little down after he saw his best friend and girlfriend vanish by Aspheera with his own eyes. He starts having flashbacks to that moment.

"Look out!" Past Lloyd called out as the Titan Mech disappeared, a moment later, Aspheera shot her staff at Wu, but he was pushed by Zane who took the hit instead along with Harumi who tried to save him.

"Zane! Harumi!" Past Nya cried out as their friends disappeared right in front of them by the magic. Wu is knocked backwards onto the floor, shocked. Reaches out towards the empty space with two of his students disappeared. "Oh, no! Zane! Harumi!" Past Nya cried out.

"Zane! Harumi!" Past Cole cried out.

Then a vision came to Lloyd's mind as he was holding onto Harumi through a tunnel, Harumi fell in, "RUMI!" Lloyd called out in his mind. Lloyd flinched his head up and was snapped back into reality. He looks around for a bit and then drops his head again in sadness. It didn't last long until he heard a yell.

"NOOO!" Pixal voice was heard in the hallway, the Ninjas rushed into her room and saw her looking at a picture of her and Zane together.

"Pixal! Are you okay?" Nya asked in concern as she flipped a light switch on to turn on the lights..

"I am fine. I was dreaming about the moment he... their…" Pixal said as she is thinking about the lost of Zane and Harumi, but mostly her love.

Nya came up and patted her on the back. "It's okay. I know."

P.I.X.A.L. Gazes at the picture, sadly. "I... find it difficult to accept that he is gone. Along with Harumi for that matter, and she just joined the team." she added.

"Me too." Lloyd spoke with a sighs. "Even I'm having a hard time when Harumi is gone again." he added.

"We all do. It just doesn't feel real." Jay said as Cole nods in agreement.

And then Wu runs into the room. "Zane and Harumi are alive!" he called out which shock the ninja group.

"What!?" Lloyd said in shock.

"Where/How!" Jay and Kai spoke at the same time.

"Quite! All of you." Wu quite down his ninja students and answered their questions. "Listen! I spoke to Aspheera at Kryptarium Prison. She didn't destroy Zane and Harumi. She banished them to a distant realm." he explained.

"Well, what are we waiting for?! We gotta go after them!" Kai said in excitement that there is a chance to save their friends.

"Yeah!" Lloyd called in a hurry to save his girlfriend and their brother as well. And then turned to his uncle. "What realm?" he ask since they don't know which realm they were sent to.

"The Never-Realm." Wu answered them a little darkly.

The Ninja group look at one another in confusing.

"Huh?" Kai asked.

"What?" Lloyd ask as well.

"The Never-Realm." Nya repeated.

"I've never heard of it." Cole replied, sure they've been to Cloud Kingdom and destroyed the curse realm but never been to or heard about the Never-Realm in any of the realms in Ninjago history.

"There are few who have." Wu answered, like him for example for being around the longest than anyone in Ninjago, he knows more about the realms from his father as he turns away and hurries down the hallway, with the ninja close behind.

"Wait! What's the Never-Realm?" Lloyd ask again to get more information about the realm.

Wu spoke to his students "According to legend, it is the most distant and remote of all realms. My father only spoke of it to me once…" He stops and the ninja bump into each other. "In warning." He continues walking. "He told me of all the realms of Creation, it was the one I should never visit. He told me it was a cold and dangerous place. He forbade it." he explained what his father told him about the realm he has been through when he returned.

Jay came closer to Wu in shock on what he said "Uh, "forbade" as in absolutely never, ever?" he asked in shock.

"Why?" Kai ask on why the realm is forbade.

"Yeah. What's wrong with it?" Cole ask on wanting to know why a realm is forbade if it's something like the curse realm on not going there.

"I don't know." Wu admittedly told them, since his father didn't give him more information on the realm itself, just a warning. "He went there only once and said he nearly couldn't find his way home. He said it was unlike the other realms. He warned me that others would not be as fortunate." he added with Wu walks into another room and the others follow.

"Well that's just great. Creepy and vague." Jay said as it was both scarry to know and not enough information to go on at the same time.

Wu opens up a cabinet. "I will use Aspheera's staff to find Zane and Harumi. It banished them there. It will work for me too." He takes a small box out of a cabinet and opens it, revealing two small sacks. One of them containing Traveler's Tea. "Once I have found them, I will use the Traveler's Tea to bring us both home." he explains the plan to them.

Lloyd then spoke. "You mean all seven of us because we're going with you!" he corrected his uncle.

"Yeah!" Cole agreed.

Wu shook his head in disagreement. "Absolutely not. I cannot allow it. What happened to them is my fault and mine alone. It is my responsibility." he spoke out.

"Hey, no way!" Kai disagrees in not being part of the rescue plan.

"We're not sitting this one out!" Cole spoke in agreement with Kai.

"Zane's our brother and Harumi is our friend!" Jay added.

"Enough!" Wu yelled out as he closes the box. "I will risk no other lives! My foolishness has already caused enough damage." He turns to the wall. "My decision is final." he stated.

Lloyd then thinks for a moment. He smiles and turned back to his uncle. "Okay. We understand, Master. But.. this feels a little rushed. Maybe you should just, you know, sleep on it. For a night. And come up with a game plan." he explained with a smirk.

Wu turns back. "A game plan?" he asked to make sure he heard right.

"Yeah, you know, prepare. Think it all out." Lloyd explained.

The other ninjas are to get where Lloyd is getting. "Um. Yeah, yeah. Exactly! You're the one always telling us not to rush into stuff. Right?" Jay asked.

Wu thinks for a moment and then sets down the box. He sighs. "Very well. I will meditate on it." he agrees to his students.

Lloyd winks and smiles at the other ninja, giving them a hint that he has a plan.

Lloyd is then sneaking into the room while Wu meditates. He drops down from the ceiling. He sprints past Wu and opens the box. He takes one of the sacs. He climbs onto the ceiling and onto the monastery's roof. He enters the room where the ninja are in and closes the doors behind him. Lloyd opens the sack, taking out a sandwich.

Cole, Nya, and Kai groans at Lloyd for taking the wrong bag.

Lloyd scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.

The green ninja tries sneaking back into the room where Wu is meditating.

Chicken turns to Lloyd as is clucks.

Lloyd shakes his head, worried in knowing what the chicken is capable off.

The Chicken powers up it's lightning abilities and attacks Lloyd. It drops down and Wu pets it. Lloyd drops down from the monastery's roof.

Lloyd comes back to the ninja and spits out a feather. The ninja groans in another failed attempt to get the tea, knowing the chicken is like a guard to master Wu sometimes and they learned from experiences, twice. But they are not giving up.

Lloyd comes back into the room and Wu paces back and forth. Wu sighs as he meditates again.

Lloyd lowers himself. Wu opens his eyes and looks around. He closes them and resumes meditating. Lloyd lets go of the ceiling and drops down. The latter does a cartwheel behind Wu and reaches the box. He opens the box and grabs the sack. He puts it in a pocket and stealthy exit the room.

Lloyd comes back to the ninja and Nya hands him his sword. Lloyd walks into the secret base's elevator and the others follow.

"Did you get it this time?" Cole ask in hoping he got the right one.

Lloyd holds up the sack to confirmed. "Got it." he said.

"Great." Cole said. "We have our return ticket. I wonder why Wu was so adamant about going alone. Sure, the Never-Realm sounds creepy, but how bad could it be?" he comments.

"Beats me." Lloyd shrugs. "Come on. Let's get the staff."

Nya uts her hand on a handprint scanner. The elevator starts descending. "What about the tracking device?" she asked Pixal.

"Right here." Pixal answered she takes it out and hands it to Nya.

"What's it key to?" Nya asked.

"The mech." Pixal answered again. "Assuming Zane is still with it and it's within a 500-mile radius, you will see it on this display." she theorized.

"Master Wu's going to be pretty upset if he wakes up and finds us gone." Jay stated, knowing whenever they disobey order, they never hear the end of it.

"But he is upset." Lloyd pointed out from recents events as the elevator door opens. "He's not thinking rationally." he added.

Cole agrees "Yeah. He'll understand."

Jay then sees something and recoils. "Gah!" he shouted.

The ninja are all shocked to see Wu down in the Hangar Bay holding the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, attached to Aspheera's staff.

"Master Wu!" Kai said in shock.

Creation is flowing through Wu's body. The ninja walk toward Wu.

"How'd you get down here?" Lloyd as in shock. "Y-you were just upstairs."

Wu didn't answered as he hold out his hand. "Give me the Traveler's Tea, Lloyd." he said.

Lloyd then shook his head. "I can't do that. It's for your own good, master."

"That is for me to judge." Wu countered. "Give me the Traveler's Tea."

Lloyd speak again. "We stand a better chance at finding Zane and Harumi and you know it. There are more of us, and we're younger, and stronger and—" he then was cut off by Wu.

"GIVE ME THE TEA!" Wu yelled out as he sends out a shock wave of Creation. He charges up.

"You're holding the Forbidden Scroll, master." Lloyd tried to reason with his uncle in thinking the power of the scroll is messing with him. "Why don't you put it down?"

"You disobey me?!" Wu angrily questioned.

"I'm sorry, but...yes." Lloyd answered.

"Yah!" Wu yelled out as he runs at the ninja and hits the ground with the staff, causing Cole and Kai to fall back. He tries hitting Lloyd, but the latter blocks the staff with his sword. Wu knocks Lloyd's sword out of his hand. He tries to hit Lloyd again but misses. Lloyd throws the tea at Kai and he catches it. Wu tries hitting him as well but misses. Wu knocks it out of his hand, and Kai kicks up into the air. Everyone runs after it. Wu spins towards the tea, but Nya jumps in front of him, catching it. "Give it to me, Nya." he said to the water ninja.

"No, Master Wu!" Nya disobey as she jumps away as Master Wu comes at her again.

"The tea is not the answer!" Wu stated as Nya chucks it across. Jay slides in, catching it.

"Master, please!" Lloyd called out but Wu leaps at Jay, slamming his staff. Jay dodges Wu's strikes.

"Yeah, come on." Jay spoke. "Let's not fight about this." he added as he tosses the tea at Cole.

"Yeah, Wu... try to understand." Cole stated as he swings his hammer at the tea toward Lloyd.

Lloyd catches it, but shouts in surprise as Wu charges at him. "Gah!" Lloyd called out asWu knocks him to the ground. "Ahh!" he yelled.

"Lloyd!" Nya called out.

Lloyd tried to reason to Wu again, "It's the scroll, Master Wu! Don't you see what it—"

"I will not risk anyone else's life!" Wu cut him off, "Now do as I command, and give me the Traveler's Tea!" he ordered.

Lloyd the spoek up. "Master, I'm really sorry about this, but you're not giving us any choice." Produces a shuriken behind his back. Jay stands by with a rope. Lloyd throws his shuriken, knocking the staff out of Wu's hand. "Get him!" Lloyd called out as Jay tosses the rope over Wu's head to Cole, and together, they wrap the rope around Wu.

Wu Struggles, grunting to get free. "Unh. Oh. The tea. The tea will not r—" He tried to speak but Lloyd gags Wu. Wu stumbles backwards and sits down, angrily.

"Oh boy!" Jay spoke out in shock in surprise at what he and his friends just did.

"Did we just tie up our own master?" Kai questioned.

"At least we know we're back in shape. Last time was just embarrassing." Cole comments on there last attempt to take on Wu.

"Yeah, but Harumi was there to make things better at the end of it." Lloyd added, with the Ninjas nodding their heads in agreement. "And we didn't have a choice. I'm sorry, Master Wu, but you're not thinking very clearly. Just like you were before Zane and Harumi disappeared, and that's just making it worse." Lloyd picks up the staff and tosses to Pixal. "P.I.X., I need you to do the honors. Everyone else, on the Bounty." he called out.

"Please hurry." Pixal called out while feeling the power of the scroll with her eyes glowing bright white. "I do not wish to hold this any longer than necessary. It feels... strange." she stated as Everyone runs off to the Bounty except Lloyd.

Lloyd turns to his uncle. "I'm really sorry about this, Master Wu. I hope one day you can forgive me." he said.

Wu tried to spoke but was muffled. "Don't do this. Don't do this! Don't do this." he tried to speak.

"We'll be back with both Zane and Harumi. I promise." Lloyd said as he runs off to join the others.

Lloyd runs into the Bounty and buckles up with the other ninja.

"Lock and load!" Cole announced.

"P.I.X.A.L., do you copy?" Nya asked through the communicator.

"I read you." Pixal replied. "Are you ready?" she asked.

"Anyone having second thoughts?" Lloyd ask the team. "It's now or never." he stated.

"Next stop, the Never-Realm." Jay announced.

"What are we waiting for?" Cole asked.

"Let's get the show on the road." Kai stated.

"We're ready." Nya said.

Lloyd smiled in hearing the team agreeing for the trip to rescue their brother and friend as he have a thought in his mind. 'I will find you and Zane, Harumi, we're coming for you two.' he thought.

"Here we go." Pixal stated as she lifts the staff, then stops, recalling her nightmare.

Past Lloyd saw Aspheera fires her magic. "Look out!" Past Lloyd called out

P.I.X.A.L. broke out of the nightmare flashback and then holds the staff in the air, summoning all her concentration, and points it at the Land Bounty, casting them to the Never-Realm.

Wu looked in horror as he muffled. "No! Please…" he pleaded but knowing it was too late.

P.I.X.A.L. tosses the staff aside, casting a suspicious look from that much power from it.

The Land Bounty spirals through the portal.

The Ninja screamed from the tunnel of the portal.

"What's-what's happening?!" Jay yelled out, they went through portals before but not this kind of portal from a staff from a scroll as well.

"Whoa, whoa." Kai called out as the Land Bounty tips upside down. "Whaaa!" he screamed.

"Hold on, everyone!" Lloyd called out to the others.

The Ninjas screamed in this is gonna be a bumpy right through the portal to the never-realm for them to find their friends.

Back in the Samurai X cave, Pixal was unting Wu seeing that he calmed down a bit.

"I know you are angry, Master." Pixal said as Wu takes off his gag, and stands up. "But logically, Lloyd was correct. Their chances together outweigh your chances alone. They will return to us. They have the Traveler's Tea." She told him in reassuring that they will make it back safely with Zane and Harumi, but Wu doesn't feel reassured at all, just gult and down.

"That was what I was trying to warn you about." Wu stated as he continues. "Traveler's Tea grown in Ninjago won't work in the Never-Realm. I lied so that I could go alone. Now they are lost there, just like Zane and Harumi." he finished as Pixal was now worried as Wu walks back to the Monastery. "It's called the Never-Realm because they may never return." he added.

Pixal looked down with a sigh, meaning that the Ninja will be having a hard time to get back home a lot harder then finding Zane and Harumi.

In a snowy place that are showing frozen mountains and forests and lakes.

The snow was harsh and the plants were much colder, colder than normal and the temperature just keeps on dropping. Ever since a emperor steps into this land, the weather is becoming harsher to live and has been making things more colder and hard to live in. There were those that have been trying to stop it, but there are not that many left, this so called Ice emperor has defeated most of them since he came, so those are afraid to go face to face and oppose his rule for decades, but then a few months ago, a certain warrior came into the land, and saw what has happen to this realm, she was only seen by a few, but calls herself the Light.

She has been fighting in our lands for months, trying to help those in need, while opposing the rule of the ice emperor, she has been saving people from terror, getting out of danger and giving them the needs to survive, she has been there for us, and swore to stop the ice emperor, and free our land, while trying to find her friend who was missing for a long time. The Light will bring us freedom one day.

In the snowy forest, a certain female warrior in a gold ninja gee walked out of the woods, looking at the mountain peaks while searching for someone in need, she has been in the land for months, in hoping to find her friend and find someway home, she tired but no such luck whatsoever, but didn't stop her from keep trying.

"I'll find you someday Zane, and we will find our way back home with the others, and I won't stop until I do and stop the Ice Emperor from terrorising the land, like how I did to Ninjago." She said in a familiar voice, with determined in her eyes, in knowing the times she had with her friends. When a certain landweller came up to her, wearing a ninja gi that he is wearing as well, but a little rag.

"Miss Light, you are doing okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, just reminding myself on why I keep fighting." The Light said as she remove her mask, revealing to be Harumi, who has a scar on her left eye from recents events. "We should head back to the village, the temperatures dropping when it getting cold." she advices.

"Sure do, I'll get the others." the figure stated as he went back to where the others are as Harumi looked at the mountains, thinking about home.

As Harumi looked, she saw a portal opens from the top of the mountains, and as she looked in shock, she saw the land bounty landed and was shock that it was there.

"C-Can it be?" Harumi sputtered, having a hard time to believe that it is them.

"Light! You coming?" The figure ask in the background.

"Go on without me! I'll catch up later, I gotta check on something." Harumi called out.

"Okay! See you in the village!" the figure called out.

Harumi then ran to the mountains, hopping that she hope that it is her friends.

'I hope it is them, because if they are here, and we may still have a change against the Ice Emperor.' harumi thought with a smile on reunited with her friends and Lloyd that she hadn't seen for months as she ran to the Mountains path.

End of Chapter 11

A/N: Now that is that for chapter 11, and sorry it took too long, been having writers block, but don't worry, It's not discontinued, just slow going. But I hope you like the ending part, because since Zane and Harumi got separated from the portal tunnels, they ended up in different points that will be revealed in the future chapters, comment and review about it and enjoy.
