Here is the Epilogue!

Epilogue

As the sun began to go down, the few living creatures that inhabited the Sea of Sand looked overhead as a small blue gunship flew overhead. The ship's soft roar echoed through the biome.

The craft eventually landed at the base of the scattered rubble that was once known as "Ed and Edna's Scrap n' Junk," and later the "Walker Yard." Now, it remained as the lifeless foundation of the Knight's journey, where he watched his parent's get murdered over 10 years ago.

Jay hopped out of the ship. Though he could have easily summoned a portal to come here, he wanted to see the whole desert on the way.

He was now wearing a fresh new set of Ninjago-inspired Jedi robes. Styled after his original Gi, the robes were folded in standard Jedi manner with a blue outline and a black inline. Though still keeping his goatee, the Master of Lightning replaced his dead eye under the eyepatch with his robotic eye once again, symbolizing the new state of inner peace he felt.

Nevertheless, the site before him was painful. After their victory and the established new allegiances, Lloyd and the Ninja had explained what the Dark Army did to his childhood home. He even confronted Nadakhan personally to forgive him before the Djinn was shipped off to Coruscant's maximum security prison. But despite how ready he thought he was, nothing could have prepared him for the complete absence off the his childhood home.

He walked forward through the charred sand, noting the incinerated rubble and scattered scraps that remained, all of which were buried under new layers of sand from the past years. After circling the entire area for a few moments, he came to the center of the junkyard, and took out two items from the satchel on his shoulder.

In one hand, he held the folded original Stone Armor Gi he had worn the day he originally defeated the Overlord, sending him to the Galaxy far far away. In the other, he held the Elemental Blade of Lightning. He stared at them both for a moment before placing them on top of one another on the surface of the charred sand. Then, closing his eyes and calling on the Force, he created a small chasm to open up underneath the two items, burying them in the sand as the hole closed back up.

Jay stood back up as the sandhole disappeared completely, then unhinged a different item off of his belt: a new Lightsaber, constructed by himself. Staring at the hilt, he ignited it, revealing a glowing blade of yellow: The secondary color of lightning.

"Excuse me?" An unfamiliar voice alerted Jay to his surroundings, causing him to turn the lightsaber back off. Standing by the edge of the charred sand, an old traveler stared at Jay quizzically. "It has been so long since anyone has been here. Who are you?"

"I'm Jay."

The traveling stranger looked at him confused. "Jay who?"

The Master of Lightning turned to the side, seeing the ghosts of Ed and Edna slowly take form, smiling at him in the distance. He smiled back before turning back to the stranger.

"Jay Skywalker."

...

JUST KIDDING!

Could you imagine if someone actually finished a comprehensive story that way?! How STUPID would that be?! WHO WOULD DO THAT, RIGHT? It makes no sense!

Anyways, here's the actual ending. lol

Jay walked to the center of the junkyard's foundation, before quickly turning back towards the gunship. Outside it stood Lloyd, Kai, Nya, Cole, Zane, Pixal, Dareth, Ronin, the Mechanic, Clutch, and Brad.

Kneeling down to manually dig a small whole in the sand. As he closed it back up, he placed a small tree sapling. Patting the sand back into place, he made a finger gun motion, and with the powers he absorbed from the Overlord, he shot a small beam of energy at the ground.

Immediately, the surrounding charred sand began to convert into a lush field of green, encompassing the entire former Walker estate. The new layer of sand that remained on the surface was absorbed by the new field of grass, replaced by flowers of every color. Jay then raised both his hands in the air, calling upon the Force once more.

As his friends watched, scraps that had been buried for years underneath layers of sand slowly began to unearth themselves, floating into the air above Jay's head. As the Master of Lighting closed his eyes, he made movements with his hands, melding the scraps together into a new shape. Slowly, the group behind him realized he was creating two statues standing next to each other, and Nya was the first to realize who it was.

The new, 3:2 scale size statues of Ed and Edna was placed by Jay to stand in the entrance to the new Walker garden.

Then, to the surprise of Lloyd especially, the sapling that Jay had placed grew fully to a healthy tree. Though it wasn't just any tree; the sapling came from the dead branches of the very same tree that stood at the foot of the Monastery for decades. The site brought tears to the Ninja's eyes as Jay made his way back to his friends, hugging them in a happy solace.

Lloyd sniffed softly through the hug, then backing away slightly to look at the site once more, reading the new sign Jay also made out of scraps with the Force. "Walker Yard: A small slice of paradise." The description brought out a collective chuckle, giving Lloyd another chance to hug his friend.

"Do you think... Do you miss them, Jay?"

Jay looked at him puzzled by his query. "I mean... do you think those we have lost would be remembered?"

Uncharacteristically, the Master of Lightning said nothing. He merely smiled at his friend and shifted his gaze to the side, which everyone followed... to see the spirit of Sensei Wu appear before them at the entrance of Walker Yard.

"Sensei!"

The old man didn't say a word. He simply smiled with tears in his eyes, nodding to Jay, then Lloyd, then the others. As he did, Sensei Garmadon's departed spirit appeared next to his brother. Then the form of Misako smiled at her son lovingly as she held her husband's hand. On Wu's other side, Ed and Edna smiled at Jay.

Next to them were Ray and Maya, who smiled at their children. The ghosts of professor Julien and a younger Echo waved at Zane and Pixal.

Behind the group of ghosts, hundreds of spirits appeared behind them; The Elemental Masters, lead by Karlof as he nodded to Brad. The former students of the Ninja, lead by Nelson. All the citizens who died under the Dark Army's rule, now free from their oppressors.

The Ninja began to let tears freely flow down their faces, and the ghosts waved as they dissipated back to the Departed Realm, finally at peace. As they did, Jay didn't break his gaze with his parents while responding to Lloyd.

"I think they could never be forgotten."

The Master of Lightning, now the Jedi Admiral of the 1st Expeditionary Fleet, with one synthetic eye, a pirate goatee, and the Force as his ally, waved goodbye one last time to the family that made him who he was. He still had a lot of work to do with the Jedi and the greater Galaxy, but or now...

I'm home, Ma... I'm home.

The End.

PLEASE compare the ending scene to this story to the VERY first scene of A Knight's Journey! I love the hidden parallels I made to get to this point.

I love writing these two stories. Anyway, I am going to be taking a long break now, but When I come back, I'll likely start by doing a few one-shots. Please leave your comments and reviews. Thank you so much my readers!
