Hello. Who's up for the last chapter? Enjoy!


Autumn's P.O.V

We were flying to the Airjitzu temple. I was pacing and mumbling under my breath.

"Can you stop that? It's giving me a headache" Jay asked again.

"No, not really" I answered, not stopping my pacing.

"Cole has been fading a lot and really easy to miss. It's no one's fault that we forgot him" Lloyd tried to calm me down.

"Maybe, but I knew something was wrong, that something was missing. How can I forget Cole? My boyfriend? I know he's been fading, but I should've kept an eye on him" I freaked.

"We're over the temple" Kai informed.

"But I don't see him. I only see Yang" Zane added.

"Cole!" I yelled over the side.

There, on the wall where Yang was looking, was Cole. He was fading again. But, after hearing my voice, he kicked Yang away. Then, they began fighting.

"We have to help him" I said.

"I can't bring it any closer. The winds are too-" Nya started. We were thrown slightly by the wind.

"Too strong!" Nya finished.

I climbed up on the rail.

"What are you doing?" Lloyd asked.

"Helping Cole" I answered.

"How are you helping him by falling to the ground and going splat?" Jay asked.

"Ugh! Thanks for that image" I groaned.

"Face it, sis. You'll be more of a help to him up here" Kai added.

"So, basically you want me to be emotional support?" I asked.

"The rift is almost closed" Sensei pointed after the students went through.

After a few seconds, Cole dropped down to Yang on the roof.

"What is he doing? Is he talking to Yang?" Jay asked.

"The rift can not be opened again until the next Yin-Yang eclipse" Sensei said. Yeah, I got that.

"Which, according to my calculations, won't happen for 3,721 years" Zane informed. Okay, I'm freaking out again.

"Cole! The rift! You gotta pass through the rift!" Jay yelled.

Cole was still with Yang on the roof. What is he doing? Doesn't he want to come back?

"Cole! It's now or never!" Jay yelled as the rift began to close.

I saw as Yang and Cole used Airjitzu to get to the rift, until about halfway when Yang let go, and Cole flew away, up to the rift.

When Cole went through, the rift closed, and all I could hear was ringing in my ears. The strong winds knocked into the Bounty as we all tried to hold on to something.

"Brace yourselves! It's going to be a hard landing!" Sensei advised.

After a while, the winds died down enough to let us land the Bounty next to the temple.

"Is everyone all right?" Misako asked.

"Nothing that tightening a few screws can't fix" Zane answered.

"I'm okay. Where's Cole?" Lloyd asked.

"Oh no" Jay gasped.

"Did he make it?" Nya asked.

"I think so. Didn't he go through the rift before it closed?" I asked, slightly scared right now.

"It was a very close call" Zane answered.

"If he didn't make it?" I asked, tears in my eyes.

"Then I guess he would be gone" Kai guessed, eyes downcast.

"He was too late. He's gone forever. I'd give anything to have him back" Jay pouted.

The tears in my eyes finally fell down my face as I cried. Kai hugged me, and I immediately hugged him back as I cried my eyes out.

"Anything?" a voice asked.

"Anything" Jay repeated.

"Even the Sonic Raider Jet?" he grinned, jumping over the rock behind Sensei and Misako.

"Cole!" I yelled. I ran to him and trampled him in a hug.

"Hey, what's with the tears? I'm here now" Cole soothed.

"You had me so scared and worried. I thought you were gone for a second" I smiled.

"You're back!" Jay smiled. Everyone came up to us while Cole got back up with me on him and it was a group hug.

"You're not a ghost anymore!" Lloyd smiled.

"You look good as new" Nya smiled.

"Pretty much. Thank you, Nya" Cole smiled.

"Speaking of good as new" Kai pointed to the temple. It did look as good as new now.

"The temple of the Airjitzu master has been returned to it's original condition" Sensei said.

"It's beautiful" Zane marveled.

"You know, that would be a pretty cool place for a ninja to train" Cole suggested.

"Yeah, it would" I smiled.


"And was I right, or was I right" Cole said later. Jay's parents, Cole's dad, and Dareth was here sitting around a fire with us. I was still hugging Cole.

"Yes, you were right. Are you going to retell the story every Day of the Departed from now on?" Jay asked.

"Only until you admitt you didn't want to move in because you were scared it's still haunted" Cole smiled. Everyone then laughed.

"I wasn't scared. I was...cautious. Okay, fine. I was scared, and wrong. There's no more ghosts here" Jay admitted.

"Nope. No ghosts" Cole confirmed. Though he did wink up at the window.

"Wanna let go now, sis?" Kai asked, smiling, getting a lantern ready.

"Nope. I'm never letting go again" I shook my head in Cole's shoulder, still crying a bit, but Cole didn't mind one bit.


Done. Sorry about the short chapters. I'll make it up when I do The Hands of Time. Bye my little ninja turtles. Review?
