See this? This is what freaking happens when I get reviews. I go all happy inside and is motivated to write. Nice right? You know what to do.

Anyways, now that I'm done blackmailing my readers, I just need to say a few something and can only hope you will read it.

1- I don't care how long your review is, I love them and will always read them even if it's longer than my own damn story

2- Don't be shy for asking a request, just don't. I like my requests too, ya know. And that's also what this book is about so don't hesitate. If I can't write something, I'll simply tell you, I won't even mention your name if you don't want me to.

3- Damn guys, I know most of you don't read the A/N and it's perfectly fine. But please for my sake, stop asking me the same damn question over and over when I already answered it multiple time. Please guys, it pretty annoying.

With that said, I have good news! I'm not torturing Cole today. You heard right, I'm killing the boi.

Warning: Character death, grieving, imaginary and magical sickness and the usual

Disclaimer: I really think it's a good thing I don't own Ninjago, just imagine how I would ruined that show.

PS: What do you guys think if Cole became mute for 2022?

PPS: In the Not Okay shot, you guys do know Cole is human right? Was I unclear? Should I edit it

Request by HyperbolB: Cole's death aftermath


Shot 10: You will always be with us

Today was the Day of the Departed. A special day dedicated to the remembrance of those who we've lost but will always be a part of our hearts.

However, today was also the very first Day of the Departed Ninjago celebrated without one of their beloved heroes.

To most Citizens of Ninjago, Cole will be remembered as the Black Ninja. The elemental master of earth and the strongest ninja of the team (physically of course)

But for those who were closed to him, it was a different story.

They knew of Cole's antics such as his silly but indisputable love for cake, his carefree dancing whenever he wasn't in the spotlight, his endearing humming/singing along to whatever music he was listening to and how childlike he could be when a prank war was on.

They knew of Cole's favourite activities. On top of the list being mountain climbing, closely followed by drawing (they had to steal his sketchbook to even get a glimpse of what he was drawing) and cooking (despite him being terrible at it, he never gave up and the team would happily tell you he had been getting better at it). They knew his love of nature, plants and animal alike and could appreciate it's beauty for hours to no end.

They knew of the raven mannerisms and habits. How he sleeps like the dead despite being a ninja. How he overwork himself, how he'd subconsciously 'eat' something when he was deep in thought (he could be biting of his fingers and not realised it until someone points it out) or nervous or stressed. How if you ate his food, he wouldn't talk to you for weeks and make sure to glare at you with what was definitely not a pout, ignoring the fact that he ate everyone's shares more often than not (Jay's especially) How he would wake up in the middle of the night to get his midnight snack (A habit that turned really scary when he was a ghost with the refrigerator being the only light source). How he loved lying strolls in any place with plants around. How he would sometime snuck up the roof to watch the stars. How loves watching the the trees during autumn and would run when the leaves fall with childish glee or jump into piles of leaves. How he was so forgiving when he was finally given a reason for your betrayal or bad actions. The list could go on foever.

Assembled at the bottom of the greatest mountain of the country (it was Cole's favorite) were the Lou, Ninja team, Wu, P.I.X.A.L, Misako, Dareth, Ronin, Karlof, Faith, Vania, Fungus, Korgan, Plundar, Adam, Gulch, Gleck, Murtessa and Murt. Each held a red glowing lantern in one hand as they dedicate this silent moment to respect and remembrance of the man who changed so much of their life.

They each had varied yet similar memories of the Earth master

To Lou, Cole was the greatest son he could ever wish for. He managed to make Lou see that everyone had their own destiny and talent and that it was important for them to find it. On top of always trying to be there and help his father when both of them were in pain.

To Wu, Cole was the best student a Sensei could ever ask for. He was always eager to learn or trying his best to surpassed his teacher's expectations. And was the one who made him realised that no matter how good his students were getting, his wisdom and help would always be more than welcome.

To Zane, Cole was the brother who was more accepting of Zane's 'weird' behaviour (He only had a problem when it came to personal space) and the brother he related to the most as he'd shared common interests in nature and cooking.

To Jay, Cole will always be his best friend before his brother. He was the only person he had bonded so quickly and was his first real friend. He was also the one who would listen to Jay rambled on for hours without losing interest (or maybe he did but was trying his best not to)

To Kai, Cole was the brother that always had his back despite how reckless and impulsive he was and by far, the nicest. Even though he was the leader, he never imposed his status. Rather, he made the team more of a communism thing when on the battlefield.

To Nya, Cole was, like Jay, her best friend. They always had a good relationship but that may because they had common habits. They both tend to overwork and loves working out. Cole was also the one that taught her painting as a way to relax whenever she was stressed.

To Lloyd, Cole was the silent support he needed. As the former leader, the raven already knew about his insecurities and fears and had done way more than just help carry the burden.

To Karlof, Cole was the one who taught him what being a friend was really about became his first friend.

To Vania, Cole will always be her favourite ninja and the man she admired ever since they started as a ninja. To her eyes, he will always be the kindest, bravest and strongest person and the hero to her kingdom.

To Fungus, Korgan, Plundar and Adam, Cole was the one to teach them that there was always hope no matter how terrible a situation can be and to believe in themselves despite how many times they failed.

To the Munces and Geckles, Cole was the second who sacrificed everything to save them alike to his mother.

To the rest, Cole was a dear friend that made a great impact on their life simply by being his kind, courageous, persistence and loving self

It was a real shame Cole didn't live until he was old and wrinkly. His death was unexpected to say the least but it was a painful reminder that death could happened at anytime and to anyone.

Finally, after a short while of silence, Plundar took a step forward to say a few honorary words about the black ninja.

"I know I'm not the best placed to be the one talking but I just want to say that even though he's gone, I still feel like he's with us. Despite the fact that I didn't know him for long, he was still a great friend. He taught me to never lose sight of hope and I'm sure he taught each of you something too. But I guess what I just want to say is," He looked towards the sky "We will do our best to make you proud Cole."

He let go of his lantern and whispered a soft thank you as he watched the light go upwards, helped by the wind. They others followed his lead and soon, the sky had many little red lights floating beautifully in the sky.

As they retreated to go, the trees of the path they used started to lose their leaves and they knew it was a sign Cole was with them

Always


I think I suck at this too... Damn it.

I originally wanted to include how Cole died too but then it became more of something in memory of Kirby Morrow and well, I decided against it.

Don't worry though, I'll make sure to make another shot for how Cole died because I've got a pretty neat idea, so yeah.

Now, I don't wanna be mean and put name but I'll just say it again and in capital so most don't miss it

YES, THERE WILL BE MORE OF SHOT 7: NOT OKAY. I'M WORKING ON IT BUT IDEAS ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. Clear?

Now to thank my amazing reviewers:

To HyperbolB: Kind words, kinds words. Thank you for making me happy :) Anyways, did you enjoy your Shot? I hope it was to up your expectations. And yeah, I'm pretty sad about that too... that's pretty much why I want him mute... kinda silly right? But happy weekend to you... actually, happy week

To Guest: Thanks, I really think Nya and Cole has a great sibling like relationship.

To Red panda34: And I'm glad you like them :)

To Guest (You know who you are): Don't you ever apologise for making my damn day. I absolutely loved your review and tbh, the longer it is, the happier I get. So, this is going to be long... 1) Ki-Tea, when I asked who Cole should spent time with first, it was because each ninja would be taking turn in watching and playing with Coal. But you're right, Nya seems like the best bet to be the first to keep Coal. 2) Don't worry I think I got it... or not. Nah, just kidding I got it... or did I? XD You're idea is just fabulous! And I think I'm gonna write it but as another story. I already have a plot for Not Okay and well, I don't wanna spoil... 3) Oh soulmate was just suppose to be a short love story, and I thought it would be nice since all the other ninja has a love one and my version would have lots of angst in it. 4) If this is your brain not functioning correctly, will you speak golden words when it does? Cause I speak gibberish when mine doesn't. 5) Fun fact, when I finished reading your review, I instantly took my notebook and pen and started noting down your ideas. They are so GREAT! I love them and can't wait to work on them! I'll look forward to more reviews from you but you should probably name yourself something, cause I get really confused when there are so many guests. Sorry for the inconvenience. Anyway I'm happy you enjoy them and thanks for helping me out and for your kind words

To EllenXx: Don't say that, I thought it was a cute idea. However, do you mind waiting a long while? I kinda want to include that idea in a story I'm working on (no didn't post it yet). But if you want a specific shot, it's fine just let me know okay?

To Guest: Sure, I gotcha!
