In front the ferry Wu, Misako, Rainn, Chantal, Skylor, William and Ronin watch as The Preeminent rises above all the buildings and now towering over Stiix.

"What's that?" Rainn asked as she hid behind Skylor.

"The Preeminent." Sensei answered. "It's here!"

"We need to evacuate everyone out of this town!" Ronin started to move. "Like now!"

XxXxXxXx

The Ninja are using their powers and their Aerblades to defend the citizens from the Preeminent.

"Whoa!" Jay gasped.

"What is that thing?" Kai asked as the Ninja held their Aeroblades.

"She's the Preeminent." Zane answered. "The physical manifestation of the entire Cursed Realm."

"I know one thing, she ain't pretty." Cole said.

"Ew, gross! I'm about to lose my lunch." Jay said in disgust.

"If we can't stop that, we might lose Ninjago!" Nya yelled, she sprays water on a tentacle, but nothing happened.

Kai jumps to his sister's side. "Fire!"

"Lightning!"

"Ice!"

"Earth!"

"Crystal!"

Nothing happened as the Preeminent is unaffected.

"What?!" Eleanor gasped.

"She didn't notice that." Zane agreed.

"Oh, I hate unbeatable creatures." Jay complained.

"It's too late." Wu said as he and the other hurry over to the Ninja. "We have to get to the ship and protect the people!"

"But what about Lloyd?" Chantal asked.

Misako places a hand on her shoulder. "This is what Lloyd would want."

"To the ship!" Kai yelled as Skylor stood next to him. "We're not leaving anyone behind again!"

A tentacle wraps around Zane's mech, knocking him out of it. "Whoa!"

"Then let's get to that boat!" Jay yelled, he grabs Rainn's hand and they run. Kai takes both Skylor and Nya's hands before following.

XxXxXxXx

At the ship, the Ninja stand near by the ferry.

"Hurry, on board!" Ronin ushered the scared citizens onto the ferry.

"This way." Wu motions down the path.

"All children below deck!" Chantal calls as she and Rainn stood by the entrance of the decks.

A little girl tugs on Rainn's gi, getting her attention. "Are we gonna be ok?" She asked, her voice shaken.

"Of course you are." Rainn said gently. "Now, please hurry down below." She gently ushered her to below deck.

Finally all the citizens were on board. "That's all of them." Misako said.

"We need to get this ship on sea and put as much water as between us as possible!" Skylor said as she comes up to Misako.

"No problem!" William struck a rope with the Sword Of Sanctuary and the ship soon took, he turns to see Morro land in front of him. "Maybe one problem."

Morro laughs as he holds the Realm Crystal.

"It's Morro!" Cole yells.

"Will! Look out!" Nya yells.

"I got him!" Kai's hands flamed.

Morro turns and sends a blast of wind at Kai, knocking backwards into a crate and Zane falls into the place where Kai once stood.

"Go, get outta here!" William yelled as he kicks Morro in the side and struck a tentacle. "I got this!"

Morro sends a strong gust of wind, tearing down the bridge. Then turns to William. "Why do you look so familier to me?"

William held the sword in front of him. "You knew my Grandmother." His right hand held tightly onto the sword as he braces himself. "Regina Petrillo."

The name triggered something in Morro, he threw his hands out as he created a wind tornado at William, quickly followed by a gust of cold wind.

William grunted as he stayed standing, but he slid backwards.

"That's not possible!" Morro flew into the air and blew a hard gust of wind at William, who looked into the sword before quickly dodging. "How dare you bring up that name!"

William jumped and to the ground and rolled before standing. "You met - whoa!" He leaps out of the way.

XxXxXxXxXx

Nya runs up to the captain of the ferry who's drinking rum out of the bottle. "Is this as fast as it goes?"

"It's a paddle steamer, not a rocket ship."

XxXxXxXxXxX

William crashes into some creates, but manages to keep the sword in hand. "She said, you were a spring or summer fling, that you were going to make a name for yourself." He grunts and cries out when Morro slammed a vortex of wind into him.

"Shut up!" Morro conjures up another vortex of wind and slams it towards William, who barely managed to leap out of the way. "Shut up!"

"Ok." William told himself. "Just pissed him off." He yelps as a cold gust of wind slammed into him, causing him to drop the sword as he fell to ground. He picks himself up and turns to Morro. "Is this really how your gonna treat your grandson? If this is how you treat your blood, I'm not surprised you have enemies."

Morro growls and threw a large gust of wind at William, sending him flying backwards off the deck.

Seeing the sword, Morro hurries for it, but suddenly Lloyd jumps down in front of the sword.

"What? You again?"

"Yeah, I'm back." Lloyd is now wearing his father's kimono. "I believe you have something of mine."

Morro looks at the Realm Crystal before charging at him, but Lloyd dodges as William climbs back up the dock drenched in water.

"Try this!" Lloyd conjured up a large energy ball and throws it at Morro, knocking him into a window, breaking it.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Everyone on the ferry cheers as Lloyd picks up the sword and turns to wave at them. "Yeah, alright Lloyd!" Jay cheers.

"Lloyd!" Chantal cries as a tear slides down her cheek.

"He's ok!" Skylor smiles as Kai hugs her and laughs.

"He's wearing his father's robes." Wu

XxXxXxXx

"Will." Lloyd runs over to William. "You ok buddy?" He asked, helping him up and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll be fine."

Lloyd gently thumped him on the back. "Good. Get to that ship, and tell Ronin to protect the people. And tell the Ninja to take out the stilts. We need to drop the Preeminent into the sea."

"You got it Boss." William ran for the ferry.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

William hurries over to the ferry and jumps onto it and runs over to the Ninja. "The stilts! Lloyd said the Ninja need to take out the stilts."

Jay groans as the Ninja prepare themselves. "Ugh, why didn't we think of that earlier?" He asked.

"That's why he's the leader." Cole replied.

"Ninja, go!" The Ninja use Airjitzu to return to the city.

"Ronin, protect the people." William turns to him.

"Who put you in charge?" Ronin demanded as he folds his arms, before Wu's staff hit him in the head. "Ow!" He cries as he holds his head and turns to see Rainn holding Wu's staff. "Hey!"

"Why can't we just feed you to the Preeminent?" Chantal questioned.

"Enough." Wu said as he walks up to them. "These citizens are already scared out of their minds." He holds his hand out to Rainn. "No more violence, now Rainn, my staff please."

"But Sensei." Chantal protested as Rainn gives back the staff. "Ronin."-

"Oh my God!" Skylor suddenly gasped, causing them to turn to look at her and there eyes immidently land on the giant Preeminent. "Look at the size of that thing!"

Everyone on the boat watch as it makes it way towards the ocean, her footsteps breaking apart houses and other buildings.

"Let's hope she can't swim." Chantal said.

"We need more speed!" Ronin said as William turns and races off.

"I've gotta help the Ninja!" Nya pulled down her hood and start jumping along columns to get to the deck.

As the captain drank his rum, William pushes him away. "Outta the way!" He grabs the gauge and lowers it for more speed. The propeller at the back of the ferry starts paddling more as the boat slowly got faster.

XxXxXxXx

The Preeminent kept roaring as she walked along Stiix.

XxXxXxXxXx

On the rooftops, the Ninja ran along the roofs to catch up with the Preeminent. "We have to destroy that thing before it reaches the ship!" Kai yelled as they ran.

XxXxXxXxXx

The Preeminent pulls a house and throws it, the house lands close to the ferry, creating a huge wave as the back of the ship rise from the splash.

XxXxXxXxXxX

The Ninja keep moving along the rooftops, then using Airjitzu to another building. "P.I.X.A.L. has detected over five hundred Ghosts aboard this walking fortress, and the number is climbing." Zane informed.

"If we have to destroy this thing one ghost at a time, so be it." Cole said.

The Preeminent soon prepares to strike them, but the Ninja manage to avoid the attack. "Aargh! Then I want a front row ticket!" Kai said as he ran and jumps. "Ninja, go!" He jumps down and lands on the what looked like the Preeminent's leg.

A ghost comes at the Ninja, but a burst of water hit it, as it disappears they see Nya coming towards them. "Hey guys. Need a hand?" She asked as she hits more ghosts with her water and the Ninja jump onto the leg.

"Thanks, Nya." Cole said as the Preeminent prepared to make another step.

As the step comes down at an angle, Zane stands up, only to have a chain grab him as a ghost laughs. "Got ya."

Jay holds out his hand. "Lightnnng!" He fires a bolt at the chain, breaking it and freeing Zane as the lightning goes up the chain and shocks the ghost, who falls past them and into the ocean.

The Ninja climb up the leg and the Preeminent did another step. The Ninja soon come up to a building where the knee is and Nya knocks.

"Knock, knock!"

The door opens to reveal Kai. "Come on in." He said as they all climb in. "Let's rock this house!"

XxXxXxXxXxX

Inside the building, Jay turns to Zane. "Doctor, it appears our patient needs to have his knee put on ice."

"I'm happy to help." Zane holds out his hands and shoots his powers at the building, turning it into ice.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The Preeminent roared as the knee was frozen, before moving it. Inside the building the Ninja scream as they're slammed into a wall in a heap.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The ice breaks off the knee and the Preeminent steps into the ocean, causing green steam to come out and she roars in pain.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

On the ferry, everyone watches the Preeminent as she's unable to follow. "Yes!" Wu said. "She's unable to follow us to sea!" But soon everyone gasps and starts to panic as the Preeminent tries again and succeeds.

"That's not possible!" Skylor cried, pointing at the Preeminent as Rainn hid behind her. "How is that possible!?"

"I thought Ghosts can't stand water." Misako said. "How come she's still after us?"

"Have enough ghosts at your disposal, I guess you can pretty much do anything." Chantal said with a slight shake in her voice. The citizens start to scream in fear as the Preeminent comes closer.

"Throw anything we don't need off the ship!" Wu yells, and the citizens start to grab anything and everything to throw off the ferry. "We need to go faster! Much faster!"

The ship starts to pick up more speed, but the Preeminent keeps coming after them.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Wu turns to William as he holds the helm of the ferry. "Can we go any faster?" The elder asks.

William shook his head. "I wish we could. But we're on a ferry. And we're at full power."

Misako spots a fog bank. "Head for that fog bank for cover!" She points at it.

XxXxXxXxXx

The Ninja Airjitzu back onto the ferry.

"Kai, you're soaked." Skylor said with worry as he looks at her.

"Yeah, and no hair gel either." He complained as they reach the fog bank.

"If we're gonna destroy the Preeminent, we're gonna have to do more." Wu said, ignoring Kai's comment.

"Speaking of more, we need more fuel." William said.

"If we turn back now, we'll have just enough to get us to shore." Ronin added. "Otherwise, if we reach Hollow's Trench, we'll be sitting ducks out there."

"Hollow's Trench?" Rainn asked. "Do you think it's deep enough to drown that giant thing?"

"One way to find out." Wu said. "Full steamer ahead!" He moves the gauge forward, increasing the speed.

The Preeminent roars before reaching towards the ferry, the citizens scream in fear and soon the Preeminent breaks off the propeller.

"Oh no!" Cole yelled as the boat rocked.

"The propeller!" Eleanor cried. "We just lost it!"

"Damn it!" William said. "What else can we do?"

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

The Preeminent roars as the citizens start moving around the ferry in panic, while Nya looks up towards her.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxX

"Rainn, hurry, get down below!" Jay said hurriedly as he ushers her to the stairs and places his hand on her back. "Help Chantal with the kids!" He said as she starts to head down, but she stops and turns back.

"Jay! Be careful!" She said.

"I will." He said with a smile and a wink before leaving.

XxXxXxXxXx

The water behind the Preeminent starts to rise up like a tidal wave as everyone on the ferry watches it with wide eyes.

"Kai!" Skylor grabs his arm and points, he turns to see Nya as she's surrounded by a tornado of water as water showers everyone.

"Cole!" Eleanor cries, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the below decks.

"Sis!" Kai exclaimed as the Ninja surround Nya. "She's unlocked her True Potential!"

The Ninja turn to see a giant tidal wave of water, coming down on the Preeminent. The citizens cheer as Nya knelt down in exhaustion.

"Sis!" Kai gasps as she fell into his arms.

"Wh, what happened?" She gasped.

"You did it!" He smiles as they all watch the Preeminent sink into the ocean.

Wu hurries over to the side of the ferry and summons his dragon before flying towards Morro.

XxXxXxXxXx

On his dragon, Wu finds Morro caught in a tentacle and struggles to break free of the Preeminent's gasp as he's dragged towards the ocean. "Take my hand!" He stretches his arm out towards Morro.

"Why!? So you can take the Realm Crystal and use it to find your own prized pupil?"

"You are all my prized pupils, but none of us can do this alone. You're strong, Morro, but it takes others to make us stronger. Even me. Take my hand, so we can be stronger together. Please, Morro!"

Morro reaches up and takes Wu's hand, but couldn't break free of the tentacle. Morro turns to look at the tentacle, then back at Wu. "You can only save those who want to be saved. Goodbye, Sensei." He lets go and quickly gives him the Realm Crystal, and Morro is pulled towards the water as Wu looks at the Realm Crystal, then watches as the surface of the water touches Morro and he soon starts to fade.

"Morro!"

XxXxXxXx

On the Ferry, the Ninja stood in a line as they watch Sensei.

Skylor walks up to Kai and takes his hand, he turns to her. "Thanks for letting me be apart of the mission."

He grins. "You're welcome." He squeezes her hand gently.

XxXxXxXxXx

At sunrise. The Ninja stood around each other as the citizens use oars to move the ferry back to Stiix.

Sensei started to hold up the Realm Crystal, but pauses and turns to Chantal. "Here."

She hesitates, but takes it and holds it up high and a portal appears. Lloyd soon emerges and lands on the deck.

"Alright!" Kai cheers.

"Whoo hoo!" Jay cheers and Rainn jumps into his arms in a tight hug.

"Lloyd!" Misako rush to her son. "You made it!" She cries as the two hug.

"And so did you." Lloyd smiles.

Cole clamps him on the back. "Good to have you back, Green Machine!"

"You just missed."-

"Oh, I know what I missed. I caught a glimpse of what would happen next." Lloyd showed them the Sword of Sanctuary, then sheathed the sword. "and knew Morro had to return alone. Just 'cause I'm the Green Ninja, doesn't mean I have to save the day. Especially when I have friends to rely on."

"And that's why destiny chose you." Rainn said.

"It appears your father's robe has imparted wisdom." Wu said as he stroked his long beard. "But you still have a lot to master to earn the Sensei title."

"If that's the path I'm on, I'll take it one step at a time." Lloyd said. "The Cursed Realm is gone." He pauses and looks at Misako. "And so is my father ... but I know we're all in a better place."

"Some of us may look a little different, but like our team, some things never change." Cole said.

"And if they do, that's ok." Nya smiled. "Sometimes, we just need to go with the flow."

"Cause even if the path isn't always straight, we go forward, with confidence, because we trust where we're headed." Kai added.

"Yeah, and speaking of where we're headed." Jay was bouncing with excitement. "I've been dying to know. What are the other Realms like, Lloyd? C'mon, spill it. We have to know what we're saving, right?"

"Let's just say, the future looks bright. For us, and for Ninjago."

XxXxXxXxXxX

Lloyd stood on the roof of the ferry as he looks at the sky. Chantal walked up to Lloyd.

"You ok?" She asked gently, he turns to her.

"Yeah, I guess." He holds out his hand and gently takes it. "When I said the future is bright." He smiles as he laces their fingers together. "It's really bright." He turns to her and leans in to kiss her.

"RONIN!"

Eleanor's voice screamed out.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Ronin held his hands out in front of him, palms out as he backed away from Eleanor, Nya and Rainn. "Now, now ladies." He said nervously. "I um." He backs up and he flails his arms when his foot hit the edge of the ferry's dock.

"What's going on?" Cole asked as he and the others walk around the corner to see Ronin in trouble.

Ronin sees the male Ninja standing with Skylor, Wu, and Misako. "A little help, here?"

Jay folds his arms. "I don't know." He turns to Kai. "What do you think Kai?"

"Let him suffer." Kai answered. "The hell he put us through."

Ronin gulps as the three female girls look at each other before turning back to Ronin.

The three girls shoved Ronin in the chest, and he cries as he falls backwards. A loud splash is heard.

Lloyd looks down over the railing as Ronin surfaces and spits out water.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXx

One more chappie!
