Dash's P.O.V.
I made my way through the twisted and tangled trees of Chen's island. Cole ran and caught up to me.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked me.
"Of course," I replied. "Lloyd is important to everyone, more important than I am."
"But I won't ever see you again," Cole whispered.
"I promise, I will see you again," I took his hands. "I can come back in a couple months. I will return to you, but not as you see me now."
"Oh Dash," he hugged me.
I returned it as we stood in the clearing that the village was in. I backed up and looked into his eyes. He looked back, sorrow in his. Tears slipped from his cheeks as he backed away.
"You promise we will be together," he asked.
I wiped away his tears. "Two friends, two lovers, united as one. There shall be nothing that will leave us undone."
"That was cute," he snickered. "Where'd you learn that?"
"Ali's said it to me before when she was talking about Lloyd," I shrugged.
Cole smiled. I turned and looked to see a shadowed figure in a building.
"This is it," Cole sighed.
"He'll need you when he awakes," I told him. "Wait outside until I'm no longer inside, then come in."
Cole nodded, giving me one last hug.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too," I kissed him.
I turned and walked into the building. Lloyd's body laid still in the middle of the floor. I kneeled beside him, taking deep breaths. I pulled a torn piece of paper from my spell book at home and read it.
"For the one who lies in eternal rest, let him awake for hope and the best," I chant softly.
A bright white light glowed from my chest, I closed my eyes and allowed myself to fall backwards onto the ground. My vision blurred as Lloyd came into my view.
"Dash!" he cried, running to me.
"Dash, you've returned," The FIrst Spinjitzu Master's voice echoed in my ears.
"I know, and this is the last time," I shouted back. "For my final human life, I wish to return Lloyd to his word."
"Lloyd is different than the others you've returned," he told me.
I looked to Lloyd. He was confused, and scared.
"If you bring him back from the dead, you will not be able to return," he said. "In any form."
"Dash, don't do it," Lloyd cried.
"The world needs you, they need you more than they do me," I told Lloyd.
"No, you can't do this Dash," Lloyd yelled at me.
"It's not your choice," I said softly.
"Dash," I looked down and saw I was slowly disappearing. "For Lloyd to return, you will disappear forever. Only three people will remember you, Lloyd, Zack and Cole as of tomorrow at sunrise."
I looked up at Lloyd, he began to cry. I took his hand.
"Tell Cole I'm sorry that I won't return," I told him. "I have to do anything I need to for you, for Ninjago."
Lloyd looked at me as he became pale and fell to the ground.
"Lloyd has returned to Ninjago, and you are now, forever forgotten, for the price," I heard the voice. "Goodbye Dash."
Cole's P.O.V.
I watched Dash and Lloyd's bodies, waiting for any signs of life. After about five minutes, Lloyd started coughing. I helped him sit up, he looked at me.
"She.." he went silent. "She's gone."
"She said she would come back," I told him.
"I'm sorry Cole, she's gone….forever," he said.
I looked at him in disbelief. She was gone.
"You need help," I asked him. "Are you alright?"
"For a person who just came back from the dead, I'm Ok," Lloyd said jokily.
I smiled slightly smiled. I helped Lloyd stand up, he looked me in the eyes.
"Can you walk?" I asked.
He stumbled, but was able to with my support. I helped him to the beach, where he lied down. I summoned my dragon and took off through the sky with Lloyd.
Ali's P.O.V.
Nya had all of us get together for a ceremony for Lloyd. I sat alone outside, watching the waterfall behind their house. I watched the water tumble down. I used my powers to create an image of Lloyd, and sighed, wiping away a tear.
"You miss him," a voice asked.
I turned and saw Nya behind me.
"Yeah, I just wish I could have told him something," I looked at her.
"Which is?" Nya asked.
I looked down and place a hand on my stomach. "He was a soon to be father."
"You mean!" Nya cried.
"Yes, I'm pregnant," I smiled.
Nya hugged me with joy.
"I….I...I'm going to be a father," a faint voice whispered.
It was followed by the sound of wings flapping and Cole's dragon landing on the ground behind us.
"Lloyd, how are you alive?" I cried, running to hug him.
"Dash…" he went silent. I turned and saw Zack outside, staring at him. "She gave herself for me, and is gone now."
"No!" Zack broke out in tears.
Nya ran to him, trying to sooth the crying child. Cole lifted up Lloyd and carried him inside, where everyone was sitting in the living room. The room was silent as Cole sat Lloyd down beside Kai. He was quiet, no one spoke. The Lloyd moved and hugged Kai.
"I missed you so much," Lloyd whispered in Kai's ear.
Kai was crying softly. I told everyone what had happened and Nicki took Zack in her arms and off to her bedroom. Everyone was crying, some more than others. I sat beside Lloyd, crying myself over Dash's life and hugged him. She will always be remembered.
