Later that night, 8:00 p.m.
The ninja, Garmadon, Wu, Nya, and P.I.X.A.L were gathered in the video game room, and they were all bombarding Zane with questions.
"How was it like, living in the Digiverse?"
"How was it, dying in the Overlord's hands?"
"Did you know we built you a memorial and Kai said a speech and everything?"
"Okay, okay, one question at a time please!" Zane halted. "The Digiverse was fine, I got everything I wanted because it is like a video game. Dying in the Overlord's hands was only to protect you all, so I actually felt honored. And I am abashed that you have now dubbed me the Titanium Ninja and all. Kai, I heard your speech about me very faintly and it was actually… quite touching."
Kai smiled. "Thanks, Zane."
They continued the talk. Everyone was laughing, playing, and having a fun time now that Zane was back.
Except for Nya.
"Oh, I never really did anything to help Zane. At least that's what they think. I made Zane his new blueprints, his power source, everything I could! And still, they take me for granted. And all Cole and Jay care about now is themselves," she muttered sadly.
I gotta go, she thought. And she ran out of the Monastery, sniffling.
Thirty minutes later
Kai was definitely having fun with his friends. But one thing crossed his mind quickly…
"Where's my sister?" he demanded.
"I don't know!" Jay said.
"Yeah, how should we know?" Cole added.
"I think she ran outside the Monastery. I saw her," Zane said soberly.
"Thanks Zane," Kai replied, shooting the other two furtive looks. "I need to talk to her. She looked pretty down."
"I can come with you if you want," Zane offered.
"It's ok buddy. This is brother-sister time."
"Be safe!" Zane called as Kai left the Monastery.
He walked outside for five minutes. "Nya? Nya!" Kai called. But he couldn't see her anywhere.
Then he saw a body, collapsed onto the ground. Kai had a bad feeling about it.
"NYA!" he screamed, running towards her. It was her.
"No, what's happened to you? Please don't tell me you're dead!"
But Nya didn't even move. Kai noticed she had a sad look on her face. She was still breathing.
"No!" Kai shouted.
"But I am still alive," a warped voice of Nya said.
Kai looked up. He saw a black egg with an X on it, floating about fifty feet in the air.
"I am back… TO TELL YOU I FEEL LIKE I AM STUPID!"
"Who are you?" Kai shouted again. "You can't be the Overlord, Zane banished you off."
"I am not the Overlord, Kai. I am that intuitively stupid sister you've always had!" The X-Egg enlarged and a burst of dark energy flew from it. Kai tried to block it with his hands as a shield.
"So you're my sister's feelings," Kai murmured.
"Yes. And Zane shouldn't be alive either! That is muri!"
"What is muri?" Kai wondered aloud.
"Impossible, you foolish brother… you don't seem to know anything."
"But I know what's best for you Nya. All I want to do is help you!"
Then a flashback popped into his mind with no hesitation.
*** Flashback ***
"Kai, I'm so glad you saved my Lloyd," Lord Garmadon said.
"Anyway, Kai, how did you unlock your True Potential?" Cole inquired.
"All this time, I had been working hard to be the Green Ninja," Kai started. "But then I realized, that isn't me. My job isn't to become the Green Ninja, but to protect and teach him."
"This means..." Sensei Wu murmured. Everyone placed the golden weapons around Lloyd and green electricity linked them around him. "That yet another bond has been severed in this family. First it was brother against brother. Now it is father versus son."
*** End of Flashback ***
"That's right," Kai said, now more confident. "My job as a ninja is to not only accept honor, but to give it to the ones who deserve it too. Nya, you deserve to be honored as much as any of us!"
"Is that so?" Nya's essence taunted. "Then why am I not receiving it?"
"Then I'll show you how," Kai said. "For I have unlocked my true self, and you need to know who you truly are!" His last words echoed around.
Suddenly, a burst of light enveloped Kai as he rose into the air. And Kai...
... caught fire. He lowered himself to the ground, staring at Nya's X-Egg.
Then he looked at himself.
"No way," he said slowly. "How'd I transform into my True Potential again?"
Everyone was now plopped on chairs again, in the darkness. Until light started shining through the windows fiercely.
"What the-" Jay started.
"Morning already?" Cole said, surprised.
"The sun's out?" Lloyd muttered.
Sensei Wu looked out the window. "No," he said. "That is not the sun."
"Then what is it?" P.I.X.A.L asked.
Everyone came and looked out the window.
"Gee, it sure looks as bright as the sun," Jay remarked.
"I know who it is by his True Potential," Garmadon said.
"Who?" Zane asked.
"It's Kai."
The X-Egg only became stronger. It made two dark Nindroid Mechs and they started accelerating towards Kai.
"Forget my True Potential," he muttered. "What am I supposed to do? Shoot them with electricity? Unless…"
*** Flashback ***
"Nooooooo!" Kai moaned. What could he do to save his sister? He had fought all he could using his handmade armor, but still Nya was gone.
Sensei Wu stepped up to him.
"I see that your sister is gone. You want to rescue her. I sense the burning fire in you, Kai. Why don't you come with me to become a Spinjitzu Master?"
"I'll do anything to bring back my sister," Kai said determined.
*** Time goes forward ***
"STOP!" Sensei Wu called out. Immediately, the three ninja in stealth robes turned and bowed to Sensei. Kai only stood there in his .
"Wait…" Kai contemplated. "They're your students too?"
"Yes," Wu replied. "The four of you were chosen to become Masters of Spinjitzu because I could see the potential blossoming in all of you. Now, I will give you your element, and you will soon see your true self. Ninja-GO!" He did Spinjitzu and swept the four teens into his Creation. When they came out of the tornado, they were all wearing different color uniforms… all except for Cole's, that is, whose was still black.
Sensei Wu walked over to Kai and tapped his wooden Nin-Jô on Kai's shoulder. "Kai, Red Ninja of Fire. Fire can be very destructive yet recreative, so use it wisely. Remember, a fire that can once burn down a forest can reproduce new seedlings again.
*** End of Flashback ***
"I know what to do," he said, smiling. "Fiery Fauna!" Two large fireballs burst out of both of his hands and the Nindroid Mechs exploded on impact.
"No… no… Kai…" the real voice of Nya whispered.
"Nya!" Kai yelled.
Then he heard her voice again… flowing with emotion and sadness…
"I did everything to help Zane. But you ninja take me for granted and I feel worthless. All Cole and Jay, even Zane care about now is themselves. And I'd think of the same of you, Kai."
"You don't understand! You're worth more than they think you are! Cole and Jay are fighting for you because they think you're the perfect woman. If you weren't there none of us would have been ninja. And I love you Nya! There couldn't have been a better sister. "
The X-Egg looked ashamed of itself and withered away.
"Take me back, Kai." Nya's feelings whispered.
"Like a phoenix in the flame, feelings and passion can be reborn again. Rebirth Phoenix! Ninja-GO!"
A large fire surrounded the X-Egg, which made it so hot it turned gold and burst. The fire died, and when it reformed, it became a pure white egg. It resurfaced in Nya's heart.
Kai ran towards Nya and his True Potential finished.
"Nya… phew…"
Nya's eyes opened. "Kai? KAI!" Nya cheered. "I don't remember what happened… oh well."
The other ninja ran out and gathered around Nya.
"Are you OK?" Cole and Jay asked at the same time. They looked at each other.
"Jinx!" they both said. "Jinx! Jinx again! Jinx…!"
"You guys, stop!" Nya cried, throwing her arms around both of them.
Surprised, they succumbed to her hug
Meanwhile Zane and Lloyd were talking to Kai.
"I didn't know that was you, Kai!" Lloyd gasped in surprise.
"How did you do it again?" Zane asked.
"I don't know…" Kai said slowly. "I just had this feeling for my sister and then it happened."
"And all those chants and everything…" Lloyd added.
"Well, I got inspiration from my flashbacks," Kai said.
Garmadon came out. "It's time for you all to go to bed," he said. "We'll discuss this in the morning."
The ninja walked inside. And two small figures came out of the small bushes by them.
"So they can do it," Shi whispered. "Why did those two had to come here?"
"You'll see, oh you'll see…" Bra whispered back.
