Okay, first off... I have a few things to explain...
To ForestBornNinjaGirl:
No. Diane is technically the reincarnation of an ancient person, named Gādian for the role she would have in the future. Gādian never got a childhood because she was a spirit in human form, kind of like the Demon of Darkness. There were no powers (Diane was born with them) from the elixir (but there was something in there, which WILL be explained). What Diane did was use reasoning on how to stop the Demon of Darkness. She figured out that the Demon of Darkness needed negative emotion, such as pain and sadness, to survive. Thus, without said emotions, the Demon of Darkness lost her human form and died.
*Pant pant* dammit I hate how nobody can see inside my head! Everything would be so much easier!
Oh, and I should explain a thingie or two:
Without the Demon of Darkness, Lord Garmadon ended up being purified of his evil, and gave Destiny's Bounty back to the ninja. Other than that, everyone should be caught up.
Either way... ON WITH THE CHAPPY!
Two weeks had passed since the Demon of Darkness had been killed. Nya had put all her effort into finding an antidote to the drugs in the other girls' systems, a feat which became easier after the ninja had gained access to the facility where the girls had been held.
The male ninja plus Amelia stood outside the lab, where Nya was administering the shots to reverse the poison. "Are they going to be okay? Are we sure this is going to work?" Amelia asked.
Zane could only shake his head. "Nya and Diane are confident this will work. However, it may have different effects, as Diane had nearly recovered all of her memories. The other two might have altered symptoms."
Amelia gulped, and there was another stretch of silence until the door slowly opened. Emera stepped out, and smiled. "Hey, Amy."
Immediately Amelia ran towards Emera, hugging her tightly. "Sis!"
Emera laughed, giving Amelia a swift noogie. "Nya said it would work, so you didn't have to worry!"
The door opened again, revealing Annabella. "Does someone have a phone I can borrow?"
Kai nodded, handing her his cell phone. She went to her bedroom, slowly dialing a number she thought she never would. After ringing, a voice on the other end answered. "Hello?"
"Mom?" Annabella whispered. "I... I'm ready to talk."
Later...
Diane sat on the deck, watching the sun as it began to set. Zane came out as well, wrapping his arm around her. "Are you alright?"
"Of course." Diane looked down at her hand, where a rose lay in between her fingers. "I am merely hoping for a brighter future."
Zane nodded, but was troubled. He tried to form words to explain it, but Diane beat him with her own words. "Zane, there is something I did not tell the others."
"Is it troubling?" Zane asked, worried.
"When I was eighteen, my mother was killed." She said quietly. "After her death, I drank a special elixir, which was meant to allow me to survive until the battle I would have with the Demon of Darkness."
"What did it do?" Zane questioned, confused.
"It gave me a... very long lifespan." Diane said quietly. "I may still be killed in battle, and perhaps in thousands of years I will pass. But as I was intended to take the elixir in doses, I do not know what will happen as I drank it all once."
Zane tightened his grip on Diane's waist. "Are you angry because of this?"
"No." Diane twirled a piece of her hair slightly, distracted. "I just... I am afraid. One day, our friends will pass, and I do not know if will be ready for that day, should I be suspended in time as I believe I am."
Zane placed a gentle kiss to her forehead. "I will be with you, I promise." Diane nodded, leaning into his chest.
Elsewhere...
Kai and Annabella stood in front of a somewhat large, yet not enormous house. Annabella shook slightly, and Kai squeezed her hand. "If you're not ready..."
"I..." Annabella swallowed. "I'll never be more ready than this."
Slowly, Annabella knocked on the door. The man who had been with Annabella's mother at the fair answered, nodding. "Come in."
Both walked in, and the man led Kai and Annabella to a room where a woman sat on a couch. She looked up, crying. "Bella!"
"Mum." Annabella began to cry, and her mother raced towards her, enveloping her in a large hug.
Both Kai and the man who had answered the door smiled softly. Annabella buried her face in her mother's chest, sobbing quietly. "Bella, I was so worried..." The woman whispered, stroking Annabella's hair.
With Emera...
Amelia led Emera to a graveyard on the outskirts of a small town. Inside, the two walked to a familiar grave, which both had visited years ago. The grave they were visiting today was next to it, reading,
Jim Reilly
Born: January 30, 1973
Died: June 9, 2010
Beloved friend, son, husband, and father
Emera breathed in sadly, and placed a wreath of roses at her stepfather's grave. Taking some metal from her pocket, she slowly covered each rose in the metal until they each gleamed, able to last years. Emera closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, dad." She murmured. "I hope you and mom..."
"Are proud." Amelia finished. Both turned, walking away slowly.
... And that is the chapter... Personally, this is where I am ending the story. I figure this is the place where the plot is complete. I know it's not the normal, long endings I do, I kinda got lost with this one. If requested, I will write out all the memories for Annabella, Emera, and Diane (though Diane's may be very short, or maybe not). If so, please PM or say in a review. Okay, with that... I'm gone!
