(A/N: Well, here is the first (of the very hard) part of the series finale)


Upon discovering his true identity, Principal Brown expels LJ.


In Jay's bedroom in Ed and Edna's trailer, Nya, wearing her grey track pants, looks in the mirror as she puts her maroon sweatshirt on before grabbing her brown boots, and heads out the door as Jay, who was still in bed, moved to the side. Outside, Nya, with her boots on, heads over to her car, gets in, and starts the car before driving away. Luckily, Jay had fitted an engine that sounded quiet.


At the academy, Nya parks her car in the car park before getting out and locked it. "You snuck out again, didn't you?" Dareth's voice was heard as she turned to see him by his car. "I saw your car behind mine a few blocks ago."

"Yes, just to be with my boyfriend." She replied.

"You know you were supposed to have written permission to leave. It's the second time this week you did it. One more stunt like that and-" Nya immediately held her left hand to her mouth and her other hand to her stomach and runs into the main building.

"Sorry, I need to go!" She heads inside and Dareth sees her go into the women's bathroom.


In the woman's bathroom, Nya comes up to a toilet, knelt down and throws up. She soon groaned and sat against the stalls' wall. Dareth soon came in. "You do realise this is the women's, don't you?"

"I know. But the students aren't here yet, and I am principal. Maybe as a precaution, but try this." He holds out a small box which Nya takes.

"A pregnancy test?"

"Believe me, I know the symptoms my wife, Gayle, went through. Two children later, I still know them. Try it in the morning."

"Okay, I'll give it a try." Nya soon walked out.

"You're still given a warning. By the way, how well do you know Montgomery Wilson?"

"Pretty much since he got a job at the mall. Great guy, his mother does all she can to raise him and is also a good friend to me. Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering."


A few hours later, Kai, Zane and LJ were all walking down the hallway to meet up with Jay and Cole in the library, some greeting them as they pass by. Kai was wearing a buttoned up red shirt, black jeans, red boots and brown tie on. Jay was in his blue and white unbuttoned flannel shirt, blue tank top, brown jeans and grey sneakers. Zane had his sandy coloured jacket, white tank top, blue jeans and black loafers on. Cole had his black cardigan, orange t-shirt with the name 'Royal Blacksmiths' and the four signatures on it, including his dad's, black track pants and black trainers. And LJ was wearing a green jacket, dark green shirt, black jeans and black sneakers, similar to his old ones. "Can't wait for the finals test next week." Zane said.

"Why, you didn't get much education years ago?" LJ asked, half-teasing him.

"No, because I was busy saving Ninjago."

"Oh, ignore him, Zane." Kai said. "Trust me, all we need to do, is study, study, study. Then, it'll be graduation, and then it's Ignacia University for me."

"So, what are your plans, LJ?"

"Oh, I'm just gonna keep helping my mother a little." He said.

"Didn't you want an internship at Borg Industries?" Kai asked.

"I declined. Technology's not really my thing. Oh, where's Nya? Isn't she supposed to study with us?"

"She said she had to use the bathroom before she meets us there. I don't know why, but this morning, she also rushed to the bathroom before class could start."

"You don't think she's sick, do you?" Zane asked.

"I'll have Skylor check on her if she does it again."

"Montgomery Wilson, please report to my office immediately." Dareth said through the PA, causing them to stop and look at a nearby speaker while hearing the announcement. "Montgomery Wilson to my office at once."

"I'll, uh, see you guys at the library." LJ said before he walked away.

"Okay, see ya." Zane replied as he and Kai kept walking. Unaware to any of them Chad, Tani and Mini were close by before they see LJ pass by and smirk.


In the girls' dormitory, Nya walks into her dorm before sitting down on her bed and looked at the pregnancy stick. It showed a green tick on it, indicating that she is pregnant before she sheds a tear. "I wonder what he'll think when I tell him." She said to herself in her thoughts before touching her stomach.


Several minutes later, in Dareth's office, LJ was sitting in one of the seats as the door opened and Misako came in. "Is there something wrong?" She asked. "You sounded very demanding on the phone." She soon sat down in the other chair.

Dareth just turned his computer screen around, showing Lloyd's fingerprint file, info about attending Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys and his younger appearance. "You can tell me what this is." He replied, pointing to it.

"Lloyd Garmadon Jr.?" LJ asked as they look at it. "Never heard of him." He immediately lied.

"Then how do you explain this fingerprint I got off the soda can which Chad Persephone gave me the other day, came back to this kid?" He shows him the print before moving closer. "You have his eyes and hair colour. So tell me, who are you really? Are you Montgomery Wilson..." Dareth moves closer to LJ's face. "...or are you really Lloyd Garmadon Jr.?"

LJ soon sighed. "I am."

"Then, how do you explain your appearance? You're supposed to look 11, but you look 17."

"There is something about that." Misako said.

"I prefer to hear it from your son, if he really is your son."

"He is."

"Well, maybe I should run your name as well. You might not even be Misako Wilson. I might be looking at a pair of con-"

"I'M A POWER RANGER!" LJ yelled, cutting him off.

"Come again? And be quiet when you say it."

"Principal Brown, there is a reason I'm like this. I'm a Power Ranger. The Emerald Spinjitzu Ranger."

Dareth looks at LJ for a bit before he started to laugh and then banged on the desk before stopping. "I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time buying that."

"But, sir, it's true."

"Not another word." He then stood up and looked out the window, sniggering a little. "I have a reputation to uphold and I'm afraid I have no choice." He then turned back to them, trying to hide his sniggering face. "Montgomery Wilson, or should I say, Lloyd Garmadon Jr., as of today, you are hereby expelled from Ninjago Academy."

"What?" Misako asked as LJ was shocked.

"Your 'son' is no longer a student in my school."

"But, you can't just not believe the truth and expel my son."

"I am allowed to decide the consequences of students that break the rules as this is my academy."

"Just give him a chance to show you."

"GET OUT!"

"What?"

"You heard me! Get out of my office, this instant!" LJ and Misako look on in shock before Dareth presses a line button on the phone. "Mrs Waver, get some guards up here, I got an expelled student who, alongside his mother, refuse to leave the premises."


Several minutes later, LJ and Misako are thrown out of the front doors, over the stairs as a guard then threw LJ's stuff at them. "And don't come back!" He yelled before heading in and closes the doors.

They soon got up as some students immediately came up to the stuff and picked them up. "One truth exposed and one truth he disbelieves." Misako said as she got up. "This is ridiculous."

"Forget him, mom." LJ replied as he took his stuff from the students, who picked them up. "Never liked school, anyway." They soon walk away.

"We better tell them as well."

"Hey, Monty, we got a farewell cheer for you!" Chad called out as they turn to see him, Tani and Mini holding their pom-poms before preparing to start.

"#M, O, N, T, Y#" They chant. "#Expelled from school, he has nowhere to go now, Bye, Monty, Bye, Monty#"

LJ sighed before walking away. "Gonna miss that." He sarcastically said as Misako goes to catch up with her son. "Snitch."


In the library, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole and Nya all wait at a table before Zane's Spinjitzu Watch beeped. But luckily, he managed to cover it to suppress the sound before he pressed it. "Zane here." He said.

"Zane, guys, it's me." LJ replied through the Spinjitzu Watch.

"LJ, where are you, why aren't you here yet?" Cole asked.

"Brown expelled me."

"What?" They all asked, a little too loudly, earning shushes from some.

"Why did he do it?" Jay asked. "Why?"

"He found out who I really was." LJ replied through the Spinjitzu Watch, shocking them all. "I think Chad told him about it."

"Well, we're gonna object to it." Cole said.

"Guys, you don't have to-"

"We don't care. You didn't deserved to be expelled."

"You really-" They soon got up while Cole turned off the Spinjitzu Watch and they leave the library.


In his office, Dareth was writing on some papers about LJ's expulsion and reason until he heard the sound of footsteps. "Hey, the principal is busy!" His secretary said. "You can't go in there!"

The door soon opened to show the completely displeased Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole and Nya. "We heard what you did to Montgomery." Zane said.

"Uh, he's actually Lloyd Garmadon Jr." Dareth replied.

"We know that." Jay said.

"How?"

"We're his friends." Cole said.

"He didn't deserved to be expelled." Nya said. "He's the class president and a great student."

"Well, he is no longer class president now." Dareth sarcastically replied. "You are now, Nya."

"Bum that. He told you the truth of who he was, apart from his true identity."

"Oh, wait, don't tell me, you're all Power Rangers as well, aren't you?"

"We are." Kai said.

Dareth starts to laugh. "You know, that Garmadon kid played that card too, but he lost."

"But, sir, we are." Nya said.

"No way. You're lying just like your so called friend." This causes them to gasp. "You're all in detention for a month." They all start to object. "Now, you take the detention, or you're all suspended!" They all look at each other, and nod.

"Actually, this decision we just made is better than suspension." Jay said.

"What do you mean?"

"If LJ goes, then so do we!" Zane said.

"That's not how expulsions work!"

"Watch us." Kai coldly said before they immediately walk out of the office with Cole slamming the door shut.


On the Dark Island, Lloyd looks at the Celestial Clock as the Overlord moves towards him. "The clock is only 26 hours away from finishing its countdown to the final battle, Lloyd." He said. "But, you know that there is only one thing standing in our way of it."

"The Power Rangers." Lloyd replied.

"No doubt they have heard about it, and are going to prevent it from happening, as before."

"I want every single Stone Warrior on each corner of the island to make sure it doesn't happen at all."

"As you wish."


At the docks, LJ and Misako were walking towards the Destiny's Bounty until Horn honking was heard as they both turn to see Kai and Nya's cars, and Jay's motorbike stop at the entrance before getting off and head toward them. "What are you all doing here?" Misako asked. "Shouldn't you be at school?"

"We told Brown that if he's expelled you, then we're expelled too." Kai said to LJ.

"You didn't have to." LJ replied.

"I know, but we did." Nya said. "And now, we're going to move in with our parents."

"You know, you can choose to live on the Bounty, if you want to." Wu said as he came up to them.

"Thanks, but no thanks, Master." Kai replied.

"It's a good thing you chose to leave the academy, because we have a problem."


In the bridge, the Rangers and Misako were looking at the scrolls. "There is only 24 left until the Celestial Clock has finished its countdown. And the final battle will begin."

"Then, we go back to the Dark Island and put a stop to this, once and for all."

"It is too risky. We have to get the helmet from Lloyd and return it to the Celestial Clock."

"We did it before." Jay said.

"Yes. That was when Lloyd was good. Now that he is corrupted by Dark Matter, we don't know how to get it from him."

"Yeah, with a whole army of Stone Warriors protecting him." Kai said.

"Then one of us has to play prisoner." Misako replied. "I'll go."

"What?" They all ask.

"Mom, you can't." LJ said. "I'll do it."

"No, you're too important." Misako replied. "After all, we're trying to prevent the final battle."

"What if there's another way?" Zane asked, it made them all turn him.

"What do you mean, Zane?" Wu asked.

"I mean, once we have put the helmet back in place, it'll just be removed again. There must be another solution."

This got them to think for a bit before LJ looked up. "We destroy the clock." He stated. It got them all to turn to him, confused. "Think about it. Say, what if the clock's countdown means that it opens up a portal for the Garmatron? Then, it'll be free to head for Ninjago City to try and take it over."

"You're right." Wu said, completely surprised. "Why didn't I think of this before?"

"Then let's do this." Nya walks out as Jay notices her. "Everyone, prepare yourselves, we're about to go on our most risky mission yet."


Out on the deck, Nya had her arms on the railing as Jay came up to her. "Nya?" He asked. "Is there something wrong?"

She soon turned around to him as the Destiny's Bounty starts to prepare to move. "Are you sure this thing will work?" She asked.

"Of course. Why do you ask?"

Nya looks down for a bit before looking back up. "I'm pregnant."

Jay soon backed away, shocked. "Are you sure?"

"Principal Brown gave me a pregnancy test stick last night. It was positive."

"Oh, Nya." He soon came back and hugs her. "I'm so sorry."

"Jay, it's early days. I'm sure our baby will be okay for at least a few more weeks."

"Still, you need to be careful. I don't want you and our kid getting hurt."

"I will." The Bounty soon takes off for the Dark Island.


On the island, it was now 22 hours until the final battle as Sipal guides Lloyd along his camp. "To combat the Ranger's power, we have honoured your request to step up defences." She said. "Every single warrior is combing every inch of the jungle to make sure they don't make it."

"Excellent." Lloyd replied.


On the Destiny's Bounty, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya and LJ were on deck as they stand around before they see the island. "Well, here we go." LJ said.

"Rangers, this will be the greatest battle we have ever faced." Wu said as he and Misako came over to them. "No matter how hopeless it may seem, Rangers never quit."

"Don't worry, Wu, we didn't come this far to quit now." Jay replied, shocking them all to see he was determinant about the upcoming battle.

"All together we must fight to keep the balance in check." Kai said before somehow conjuring one of his swords. "I am Kai Smith." He holds it out, over the table. "Red Ranger of Fire."

Cole smiles before conjuring his hammer. "Cole Brookstone." He said before holding it out, over the table, meeting with Kai's sword. "Black Ranger of Earth."

Jay soon conjured his flail. "Jay Gordon." He said before holding it out, over the table, meeting with the two weapons. "Blue Ranger of Lightning."

Zane then conjured his bow. "Zane Julien." He said before holding it out, over the table. "White Ranger of Ice."

Nya then conjured her spear. "Nya Smith." She said, immediately holding it out over the table, joining the others. "Maroon Ranger of Water."

LJ conjures his sword. "Lloyd Garmadon Jr." He said as he held it out. "Emerald Ranger of Energy."

They all soon look at Wu as he soon held out his cane, over all the other weapons. "And I am Wu Garmadon." He said. "Gold Ranger of Holy."

"Power Rangers, Spinjitzu." They all said before immediately raising their weapons high. "NINJAGO!"


A few minutes later, the Rangers and Misako, clothes wet from swimming the rest of the way so that the Stone Warriors don't see the Bounty, were crouched in some bushes as they move along before stopping when they see some Stone Warriors nearby. Immediately, they grab hold of them, pull them into the bushes and start attacking them.


Several minutes later, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya, LJ and Wu, wearing the Stone Warriors' armour, bring a bound Misako to the entrance to Lloyd's camp before Jay walks up to the door and knocks on it. On the other side, some warriors pull on chains to open the door, and they head in. Sipal soon came up to them. "Who do we have here?" She asked.

"The Emerald Ranger's mother." Kai replied with a deep voice so that he wouldn't be recognised.

Sipal soon got to thinking. "If you lot caught her, then the Rangers must be on the island. Take her to Lord Garmadon."

"As you wish." Zane said with a deep voice before they start to walk along the camp.


Inside his hut, Lloyd was sleeping before the door soon opened. "I said that I was not to be disturbed!" He yelled.

"Forgive me, fa- Uh, my lord." LJ replied with a deep voice, almost blowing his cover. "But we have a prisoner, who you might find surprising."

Lloyd turned to see the disguised Rangers, as well as Misako. "Misako." He immediately turned to stand up.

"It's been a while." She said.

LJ then moved to Wu. "What is happening?" He asked him, whispering.

"He must be trying to resist the Dark Matter in his helmet now." He replied, whispering.

"Take off that silly helmet." She said. "Let me get a good look at you."

"If you don't mind, I'd rather not." He soon stood up and heads over to a nearby sword.

"Please, the Dark Matter in it is controlling you."

He soon grabbed the sword and holds it towards her. "This is all a trick, isn't it? Why did you allow yourself to get caught?"

"Because I know you don't want to fight the Rangers. If you're still the man I once loved, please take off the helmet."

He thinks for a bit before noticing the disguised Nya, who had briefly touched her stomach before coming towards her. "Something wrong, warrior?"

"Uh, no." She said with a deep voice, lying.

"I know a lie when I see one... Maroon Ranger." He quickly grabs hold of her and pulls her mask off. "And it seems that you have a little secret. Care to tell the others what it is?"

"This!" Jay yelled, backflipping to kick him in his jaw and knocking him into the floor.

"Quick, grab the helmet!" LJ yelled.

Cole comes up to Lloyd before grabbing hold of the helmet and they rush towards the door, alarms immediately wailing. "Intruder alert!" A voice called out. "Intruder alert! Intruder alert!"


Outside, the Rangers and Misako rush along the camp, removing pieces of the armour to throw at some pursuing Stone Warriors before they stop and circle around Misako, who is then given the helmet by Cole. "Ready?" LJ raises his right arm.

"Ready." The others said, raising their Spinjitzu Watches.

"Spinjitzu!" They all said as they move their right thumbs to their Spinjitzu Watches while LJ kneels down as he moved his left arm close to his right shoulder as his right hand touched the Emerald Spinjitzu Watch and Wu moves his left arm down to the front of his waist as his right hand touched the Spinjitzu Watch.

"Emerald Power!" LJ added.

"Golden Power!" Wu added at the same time.


The Rangers move their left hands by their right shoulders as they move their right elbows back while LJ and Wu jump in the air as they held their arms out. "Ninjago!" They start spinning as their assigned coloured tornadoes soon appear and engulf them. They soon disperse revealing the Rangers, in their Ranger suits. They were on their right knees with their right arms spread out and their left arms in front of their right knees while LJ and Wu land with their left legs out while their right knees were bent, left arms spread out to the side and right arms in front of them before they all look up as their assigned colour wind soon engulf their heads, turning into their assigned coloured helmets.


They all poise before charging at a Stone Warrior each. LJ rolls across the ground before getting up to slap back the leg of a Stone Warrior when it tried to kick him before turning around to kick another one that was coming at him, turns back to the other warrior, and vaults over it. Cole moves to the left as he avoids a Stone Warrior's punch before moving his right arm to hit it's hip. He soon raised his left arm to block another warrior's punch before countering it with his own punch and then moved it back to elbow another Stone Warrior coming up behind him. Jay ducks down to avoid a Stone Warrior's strike before raising a leg to kick another warrior into one behind it. He then quickly tilted his head back to avoid the first warrior's next strike before wrapping his arm around its own, grabs its sword, and throws at a warrior behind him before turning back to spin it around and drop to the ground. Wu kicks a Stone Warrior from behind its legs to make it spin onto the ground before spinning to kick another, but another warrior soon grabbed hold of him, only for Zane to grab hold of it into letting Wu go, and forces it into two more. Kai ducks down to avoid a Stone Warrior's sword before spinning to kick one in front of him then turns to the first warrior to raise his arm to block his and raises his left leg to kick it into letting go of its sword, and then raised his right leg to kick it down. Nya kicks a Stone Warrior in the arm, making it fall down before turning to kneel down, spin and kick another one down. She quickly got up to avoid another warrior's sword strike, then raised her arm to block its next strike, and moves back to avoid its next strike, then again before raising her leg to kick it, and then the other leg to kick it from behind, knocking it down. LJ throws a Stone Warrior down as he sees several coming at them. "We need to go super!" He said, getting out his Super Spinjitzu Blade.

"Right." The others reply before kicking back the Stone Warriors they were fighting, get out their own Super Spinjitzu Blades, and move back into a circle.

They spin their Super Spinjitzu Blades before raising them high. "Super Spinjitzu Blades, ignite!" They called out.


The Rangers' Super Spinjitzu Blades ignite as the Rangers, helmetless, swing them downward, letting out bursts of their powers that move into them, turning their Ranger suits into their Super Ranger form.

Nya rolls over to some Stone Warriors before raising her Super Spinjitzu Blade to block their swords while getting up, and strikes down one behind her and quickly turned to block another warrior's sword before rushing over to another one, jumps in the air, and lands while striking the warrior down. Wu moves his Super Spinjitzu Blade out to the right as he passes by a Stone Warrior to strike it before turning it on the other side to strike another before he blocks another warrior's sword and raises his weapon high, bringing its sword along in the process, and Wu moves to strike his open opponent. He quickly turns to block another warrior's sword before striking it down, then to another to block its sword and strikes it down before quickly turning to block another Stone Warrior's sword and strikes it while turning to another to strike it down. Zane raises his Super Spinjitzu Blade to strike a Stone Warrior down before turning to raise his weapon and block two Stone Warriors' sword, which immediately broke upon impact before he rolls forward between them and turns around to strike them both down. Kai raises his Super Spinjitzu Blade to block a Stone Warrior's sword before quickly kneeling down while turning his weapon around for the blade to face downward, and strikes it. Jay strikes a Stone Warrior down before turning his Super Spinjitzu Blade around to block another warrior's sword and spins to strike it down. He quickly turned while raising his weapon and strikes an incoming warrior before blocking another warrior's sword, and soon struck it. LJ swings his Super Spinjitzu Blade out to slash a Stone Warrior before quickly moving aside to avoid another one's sword strike. He soon swung his Super Spinjitzu Blade downward to trip it before turning to strike two more behind him, making them crash through the gate. Cole strikes a Stone Warrior down with his Super Spinjitzu Blade before quickly turning to strike another one coming up behind him, swings his weapon to the left to strike down another, and raised it to block another warrior's sword before kneeling down and spinning to kick it. They then immediately start to back as Misako was behind them while the Stone Warriors start to move toward them. "And here I thought this would be a piece of cake." Jay said.

To be continued...
