A/n: Hello everyone and happy Monday! I'll be posting both chapter 13 (this one) and 14 (the last one) today. I'm posting 14 today instead of Thursday because I'll be getting on a plane tomorrow to go to Champion Swim Meet.

So, who is Code's dad? We're about to find out!

"That's me!" Code whispered to Zane, pointing at the little blonde girl.

"Really?" He asked, shocked.

"Yeah!" Code answered, "My birth name was Leila and I used to be friends with a girl named Hurumi. She wasn't in the same orphanage as me, though. I liked to visit her at hers, and we'd play for hours. Until the day the King and Queen adopted her."

"I'm here to play!" Leila exclaimed.

"Then let's play!" Hurumi shouted.

The four girls ran off to play together. Suddenly, Code and Zane heard shouting coming from the house. They walked towards it, and looked through a window.

A woman in a blue pantsuit was sitting at a desk, talking on the phone. She most likely ran the orphanage.

"Look, Wu, she's fine, okay?!" The woman yelled, "Every single week, you call and ask about your daughter! If you care so much about her, why'd you give her up?!"

There was a short pause before the woman spoke.

"Yes, I know it's complicated." She said, "But Leila doesn't even live in my orphanage! She only comes here to play with Hurumi, who by the way, is getting adopted soon."

Code's heart stopped when she heard her old name.

"Wait, if Wu's calling about his daughter and his daughter's name is Leila, then that means…" She said.

Mistake's phone vibrated in her pocket, she took it out, seeing that Digital Wu wanted to talk to her.

"Yes, Code…" He said, "I am your father!"

"Whoa." Code said, "You're going full-on Star Wars on me, right now."

"I don't know what that means, but okay." Digital Wu replied.

"Why did you give me up? Also, you're way too old to be my dad. How did that work?" Code asked.

"It's complicated." Digital Wu told her.

"Tell me." Code said coldly.

"Well, the truth is-" Digital Wu started, but suddenly, a notice came up on screen. "The phone's battery is almost dead." He said, "Listen, I already set portals to open up once you get the objects. Just, go on without me! It's too late to save me!"

Just then, the screen went black.

"Aw, come on!" Code yelled, "Now I'll never know the truth!"

"You will find out, someday." Zane said, trying to comfort her.

Suddenly, the woman in the pantsuit came outside. Code and Zane ducked behind a bush. The woman walked over to Hurumi, and whispered something in her ear. The girl looked surprised, then thrilled, and then sad. She whispered something back, and the woman nodded.

Hurumi walked over to Leila, a melancholy expression on her face.

"Look, Leila, there's something I need to tell you." She said, her voice breaking.

"What is it?" Leila asked.

"I'm…Getting adopted." Hurumi said, "By the King and Queen of Ninjago."

"Whoa!" Leila exclaimed, "That's so cool!"

"Yeah, only, I can't play with you anymore." Hurumi told her.

"What?" Leila asked, her expression changing to one of sadness.

"I'm sorry," Hurumi said, hugging her, "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too." Leila said.

Hurumi pulled away, and walked towards the house. She knew her life would never be the same. Once she was, gone, Leila's heart broke. She ran into the woods, and Code knew she had to comfort her past self.

She started walking in the direction Leila went, but Zane grabbed her arm.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Comforting myself." Code replied.

"Okay." Zane said, and let go of her, "Just make sure you get an object, too."

Code nodded, and started forward to find her past self. It wasn't long before she saw Leila sitting under an Oak tree. The little girl was holding a blanket, and crying. Code recognized it as her baby blanket, given to her by her father, who was apparently Wu.

She walked over to her past self.

"My name is…Um, Goldie. Mind if I join you?" She asked. Leila shook her head, so Code sat down next to her.

"Who's that?" Leila asked, pointing to Zane.

"Oh, him?" Code asked, nervousness in her voice.

"I'm Z-" Zane started, but was interrupted by Code.

"Zack! His name is Zack." Code said.

"Oh." Leila answered.

"I hear you just lost your best friend." Code stated, trying to change the subject. Leila sniffled, and nodded.

"You'll get adopted, too, you know." Code told her, "And your new father will be very famous. You'll get a sister, and you'll be a celebrity."

Leila smiled.

"You think so?" she asked.

"I know so." Code said, tickling herself. Leila let out a few laughs, and then went serious.

"Until then, I'm going to work really hard at everything I do!" Leila announced.

"Okay…" Code said, "I have no idea how you got that out of our conversation, but you go for it!"

Leila jumped up and skipped away. Once she was gone, Code ripped off a piece of her baby blanket.

"Okay, Zane!" She called, "You can stop hiding, now."

Zane came out from behind a bush, and smiled.

"That was a fast pep talk. Did you get an object?" He asked.

"Sure did." Code said, holding up the piece of blanket.

Suddenly, a portal opened on the ground in front of them.

"Let's go." Code said, jumping in.

Zane soon followed, knowing his job was done.

-MEANWHILE, AT THE LIGHTHOUSE-

"What should we collect?" Cryptor asked.

Echo walked over to one of the skeletons, and broke off a small piece of bone.

"This." He said.

"Okay, then." Cryptor replied.

Suddenly, a portal opened in front of them. Code and Zane stepped out, and Code was holding what looked like a piece of blanket. As soon as Zane saw PIXAL, he ran over and hugged her.

"You're okay!" He exclaimed.

"I am." PIXAL smiled.

"Of course she is. After all, I was here to look out for her." Cryptor said, smirking.

Zane smiled.

"And, Zane?" Echo asked, "I give in. She's yours. I think I have an enemy for life, now."

PIXAL smiled. It was true; Echo was the most annoying person she'd ever met.

"Thank you, brothers." Zane said, hugging Cryptor and Echo. At first, Cryptor was surprised, but then he hugged the nindroid back.

"Um, I hate to break this up, but I would like to go back to my time at some point." Code said, smirking.

"Right." Zane said, "I guess we just hold up our objects."

He took out his father's glasses. PIXAL held up her microchip, Cryptor had his glass shard, Code had the piece of blanket, and Echo had his bone.

A portal opened in front of them, and one by one, they walked inside, smiling. For they knew that they were finally going home.

A/n: The next chapter will be coming later today. It will have a big twist involving Code's past (it's very complicated. I really let my imagination go crazy with this) and who her mother is. (Can anyone make a guess? If somebody figures it out, I'll be a little surprised.)
