Kai P.O.V.

We ran as fast as we could towards the Fire Temple, hoping we could save Lloyd before Linda got there.

"Lloyd!" someone cried.

"She beat us here," Ali sighed.

"It's not too late," I said. "We can still do something."

Ali looked to me and nodded.

"Here's the plan," Ali said and explained to us.

I'm coming Lloyd.

We split up. I did as I was told for Lloyds sake. I stayed back with Ali, Skylor and Nya, waiting for the others to do their part. Dash lead the attack, running head first into battle. Once all her men were distracted, we ran into the Temple. Hold on Lloyd.

Lloyd's P.O.V.

I stood my ground. Linda glared at me. Her face was red with hatred. At me.

"It's you and me," I said to her.

"Oh, then you're going down," she laughed at me.

I took my stance, ready to fight. She was ready too. She made the first move though. She kicked me, sending me flying in the Temple. I smacked into a wall, falling to the ground with a groan. I looked up and Linda was standing over me.

"Looks like your time is up," she told me. She lifted me up by the collar and walked towards the edge. My feet dangled above the bubbling lava.

"Any final words, Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon?" Linda said.

"Lloyd!"

Our heads turned to see Nya, Skylor, Kai and Ali at the entrance to the Temple.

"Stop!" Linda cried as they started towards us. "One step closer and I drop him."

Kai looked at me and I looked him in the eyes.

"Kai. Tell my mom I love her," I said.

"Lloyd! No!" Kai cried but it was too late.

I spun around, taking Linda's feet out from under her. We both fell into the boiling hot lava. Together.

Kai's P.O.V.

It was over. Done. Linda was gone. But the loss for us was high as well.

"Lloyd," I mumbled.

"Kai," my sister started.

I never let her finish her thought. I ran as fast as I could from there. I couldn't do anything to save Lloyd this time. He was truly gone. I ran and ran as far as I could. He was gone. Forever.

Nya's P.O.V.

Kai was out of the Temple before I could even start talking to him Tears streamed from his cheeks. I looked over and saw Ali and Skylor in tears on the ground.

"He didn't have to do that," Ali mumbled to herself.

"Yes he did," a voice told us.

"Did you guys hear that?" I asked.

Ali nodded as she and Skylor slowly stood up.

"It was destiny for this to all happen," another voice said.

"Lloyd will come back," the first voice told us. "He is not dead. Only in the underworld. He must realize this on his own though. You must find Kai before he runs into major trouble."

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Just some old friends," the second said.

"Now go and find Kai before it's too late," the voice said.

"Alright then. Come on," Skylor said. "We can't do anything for Lloyd but we can help Kai."

"She's right," Ali agreed. "Let's save Kai."

We walked out of the Temple together. The others waited for us, confused about Kai running off.

" What happened in there to make Kai run off like…" Jay started but saw that Lloyd wasn't with us.

"He's gone," I said. "They both are."

Sacrifices must be made for others to live a voice from moments ago said to me. All will work out in the end. I promise Nya. I promise.

"Sacrifices," I mumbled to myself.

"What?" Jay asked me.

"This is all planned out. Everything is suppose to happen like this. Lloyd will come back he said. Now we must do our part," I repeated my thoughts aloud. "Its clear that someone is telling us what needs to happen so Ninjago isn't in ruins."

"Then what are we waiting for," Dash asked.

"It just makes no sense," I told them. "Why would someone just tell us what to do like this. And who is it?"

"Good question," Nicki sighed.

"We have to go and do our part. Save Kai," Ali told us.

I nodded and we set off through the forest in search for Kai. Knowing him, he wouldn't make it far. I saw something up ahead and Skylor did too. We ran to him, lying lifeless on the ground.

"He's alive," Skylor told me. "The water element is messing with him though. He may be out for a few hours."

I sighed. I was about to help him up when a scream echoed through the forest. Someone needed our help.

"Listen. Nicki, Roy, Stan and I will take him and Jay back to the Samurai X Cave and communicate with you from there," Tylor said. "Dash and Zack will help in any way they can from here with Zack being part dragon and Dash know dark magic."

I nodded as Tylor and Stan lifted Kai up.

"We will join you later if it's needed," Tylor told us.

Stan nodded as he, Tylor, Nicki and Roy walked away with my brother.

"Shall we," Ali sighed.

We all nodded and walked towards where the scream came from. The scream came again but from another person. That's when we started running.

"Quiet. Someone's coming," one of them said.

That voice. It couldn't be. I looked at everyone around me. Dash's face was the most shocked. We walked into the opening and saw two men. One older and one younger. We knew both of them. Dash started crying and ran towards the younger boy who was about our age.

"Cole!" everyone cried out.

He looked up and saw Dash at the last minute before she knocked them both over in a laughing fit. I couldn't help but smile.

"How are you alive?" I asked.

"And how is Garmadon here?" Zane added.

"Its a long story," Garmadon said.

"Wait. You were those voices that were talking to everyone," I cried out.

They nodded. I still couldn't believe that Cole is alive. I guess I could since he and Garmadon were right in front of me. Also the fact that everyone else saw them.

"How are you two here?" Zack asked.

"Yeah, you were in the Cursed Realm Garmadon," I said.

"And Cole, are you dead?" Ali added.

"I just returned to the cursed Realm when Linda struck me," Cole explained. "I was with Garmadon the whole time."
I heard that and something hit me. It was them.

"You…..you….you were those voices," I cried out.

Cole and Garmadon looked to each other. Cole sighed.

"Alright, I admit, it was us," he said. "It was the only way. If you guys tried to face Linda as a team, it would lead to the fall of Ninjago."

"But, if Lloyd's alive, according to my calculations, Linda would be too," Zane said.

"I cast a spell on Lloyd so he switched realms. Linda is infact dead," Garmadon said. "T's only Lloyd who made it into the Underworld."

Dash, now standing, hugged Cole somehow. How is she hugging Cole though? He's a ghost. He can't be touched.

"Cole, how is she hugging you?" I just had to know.

Cole looked and saw Dash hugging him. He too was confused.

"I don't know," he replied.

"Cole, look at me," Garmadon said.

Cole turned and just looked at Garmadon. Their eyes met and never lost contact.

"What is he doing?" I whispered to Ali.

"He's gone into Cole's mind," Ali told me. "Their communicating."

"It's as I thought," Garmadon said. "Cole's regaining human characteristics. He's becoming human again."

"Really," I smiled.

"Yes, just control yourself," garmadon said. "If you panic too much, you'll completely disappear, never to return. If you can get yourself in a calm sense, then you'll remain human for that time. But not permanently."

"Ok, I think I get it," Cole said.

"Good, if there's anymore questions," Garmadon told us, "you know where I'll be."

Then he disappeared. Right in front of us.

"Um….what just happened?" Zack asked.

"He's the new ruler of the Cursed Realm. He can travel between both worlds because of it," Ali explained.

"Ok," I sighed. "Where to now?"
"Let's go meet up with the others in the Samurai X Cave," Skylor said. "I'm sure there'll be some happy faces to see Cole again."

Everyone agreed so we started towards the Samurai X Cave. I hope my brother's going to be OK when we get there.

Here it is. Some many issues so I'm not going to start listing them or this will become too long. I hope you enjoy and understand that nothing is going my way at the moment and that I'm still here.

Also, I will be adding more to my most recent Alternate Ending, Skybound. Keep you're eyes open for that.

Review.
