Cole's P.O.V.
I hugged Dash tightly, using her to stand as the creatures closed in on us.
"This is it," Jay said. "Isn't it."
"If it is, it's been an honor," Zane said.
"We can't give up guys," Kai said.
"But it's over," I whispered.
Everyone's eyes laid on me.
"No, it's not over, yet," Lloyd told me. "It's not over until we can't fight anymore."
I never looked at him. All I saw was disappointment. I was defeated, I couldn't fight anymore. Lloyd was about to charge when a bright light filled the area. When It died away, I saw a white with red and blue highlighting dragon, rolling with their leader. The creatures all had fled in the light. The dragon nipped at his throat, while they both clawed each other. They finally stopped, and the dragon bit into his neck, killing him. Than I noticed that he had gotten the dragon in the chest with his claws. It stumbled backwards, then looked at us.
Dash gasped.
"Zack, is that you?" she asked.
Then the light appeared, fainter than before. Zack appeared in it's place, falling to the ground. We ran to him, gathering around. His light red suit was covered in a dark, stick crimson liquid.
"Dash," he whispered.
"No. No. N," she cried, holding him. "You shouldn't have done that. You're going to die."
"But it was for you, Dash," he replied softly. "For Ninjago."
"Zack, please stay with me," Dash begged.
"I'm sorry I couldn't have saved myself in the process," Zack whispered. "Thanks for giving me the life I always wanted. All of you."
"Zack, no," Dash cried.
"Cole, take care of her," Zack told me. "Please."
"Zack, please," I started, but the pain in his eyes was too much. "I will."
Zack smiled as he went limp in Dash's arms.
"No, Zack wake up! Zack!" Dash screamed. "NO!"
I place a hand on her back. I looked at Zack, now gone forever.
"Dash, I'm so sorry," Ali whispered.
Dash began to cry. Hard. Ali walked her away as I lifted up Zack's body. We followed them, sorrow in our eyes. Dash opened a portal and we walked through. We were out back of the Tea Shop. I laided Zack on the ground.
"You're home," Nicki called.
"I'm sorry, we lost Zack," Tylor said. "He ran off and…."
I turned and they saw him.
"He saved us, but lost his life in the process," I said, tears in my eyes. "Dash needs you guys. Please try to comfort her."
Nicki and Roy nodded, running over to her. I looked down at him, sorrow in my eyes. Ali cuddled Lloyd, who was crying softly, Kai comforted Nya, who was extremely upset and Zane spoke with Jay, silently.
"What now?" Jay asked.
He's right, now what.
"I don't know," Kai said.
"I don't care, we should just remember Zack as a hero," Lloyd said. "Today should be about him."
I didn't speak. I slowly stood up, looking down at Zack's limp body. I closed my eyes and used my powers to create a casket of earth. The details made it look like it were real, a true casket.
"Earth," I said calmly.
A orange stone appeared on it.
"Everyone use your elements on it," I said.
They nodded.
"Fire." Red
"Lightning." Yellow
"Ice." Purple
"Energy." Green
"Water." Blue
Six gems, all with a different colour. Ali waved her hand over the middle, between the yellow and the green one, and pulled all the gems into the middle to create a multi-coloured flower. Zack's body lied inside. Dash walked over, and hugged me.
"Thank you," she whispered in my ear.
I hugged her tightly, crying in his arms. I looked up at the sky, along with everyone else.
"Now what?" Jay asked, looking around at us.
I stood in silence, along with everyone else.
"We must keep moving," I said. "Zack would have wanted us to keep fighting. Just because Zack's gone, doesn't mean the evil we fight is. Evil is still out there, and we can't quit. Zack will guide us, lead us through our rough times, and help us through. I believe in us, I believe that we will make it through this, together. As a team."
"Well said, Cole," Ali smiled.
"Yeah, he's right," Nya said.
"Together, we stand strong, apart we fall," I continued. "Nothing will stop us, from saving the world."
Not even a lost of loved ones. Because we will always grow stronger. I looked at Dash, and she kissed me on the lips. I closed my eyes.
"Everyone has been through hard times over the past few months," Lloyd added. "And this isn't going to change us. We can move on, and we will. One step at a time. Because a.."
And we all joined in, "Ninja never quits!"
And it's over. I can't believe I just mad this a sad ending. And all of the chapters updated at the same time. I hope you enjoyed this story. I will give some time before I start my next stories, but they will be soon, since there is only one or two more chapters of Bringing the Team together. I hope you enjoyed this story, like I did writing it, and will stay tuned for future stories and and updates.
