Cole shook his head.

"Woah. Thanks guys." Cole thanked.

"No problem, Cole!" Nya said.

"We still need to find Kai. We have no time to chat." Wu stated. They all nodded, and got back into their groups. Now with Cole traveling with Wu, Jay, and Nya.

~#~

"See the tiny guy yet, Zane?" Lloyd questioned, his bright green eyes scanning over the canopy.

"Not yet…" Zane answered, his eyes also scanning over the trees.

"We're never going to find him if we only look on top of the trees." Lloyd realized. They both stopped.

"Wow, we're idiots." Lloyd said. Zane nodded.

"What do we do now?" Zane asked.

~#~

Nya led the way, with Jay tailing behind her.

"What if we don't find Kai?" Cole asked, walking at Wu's side.

"We will find him." Wu responded. They continued walking for a bit, before stopping at a cave.

"Let's take a break here. We've been walking for awhile." Nya suggested. She sat down in the front of the cave, and soon felt something brush against her hand. It felt very sharp, but it was gentle enough to not scrape her.

She shrieked and quickly stood up. Then, she saw Kai retreating back into the cave.

"Hand me the crystal!" Nya demanded. Wu quickly handed her the vial with one remaining crystal in it.

Nya chased after Kai, but the cave started getting cramped, and the only light was a faint glow from the crystal. She could barely see Kai's quills in the dim light. She quickly got the crystal, and approached Kai.

It seemed like they had reached the end of the cave, which was longer than Nya expected it to be. Kai was stuck between the crystal, and the stone wall.

He looked over at Nya, and to the wall again.

Nya knelt down and touched the crystal to his head.

"I kinda thought you'd be doing something crazy, not walking around a cave." Nya acknowledged.

"Well, what did the others do then?" Kai asked.

"A lot more than you did."

"Great." They both walked out of the cave.

"That's everyone now! Let's go turn back to normal!" Jay celebrated. Everyone agreed, and started walking out from the trees.

"Zane, Lloyd!" Nya called. A roar and shriek was heard. They saw Zane shot out of the trees, and Lloyd approaching them.

They silently waited for them to arrive.

"Wow, everyone's back." Zane said. He looked over to Kai and nodded.

"Well, hop on!" Lloyd lowered his wing, and everyone climbed aboard. Lloyd ran for a bit, and then jumped into the air. He extended his wings. The huge wings blew piles of sand everywhere.

"Your flying's really improved since last time." Zane acknowledged, flying beside him. Zane did a quick flip around in front of Lloyd.

"Being a dragon for a few days, you're kinda forced to improve." Lloyd said.

"Do you think Madison's still okay?" Cole asked. Everyone suddenly went quiet, as they had forgotten about her.

"I… I don't know…" Wu replied.

"I hope she's okay… I would feel really guilty if something happened to her while we were gone…" Jay said.

"Yeah. Me too. We only knew her for less than a day, and then left her alone to guard all of Ninjago…" Nya said.

"She's not entirely alone, right? She has that robot cat. Silver right? He seemed pretty strong." Jay remembered.

"True." Nya replied.

They stayed in silence until they could see the Crystal Caves on the horizon.

"I can't believe this is actually here! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL I CAN GET RID OF THIS CAT BODY!" Jay celebrated. He purred happily.

"We can finally get this over with." Zane said. He flew up next to Lloyd. He perched on top of Lloyd's head.

"Getting tired?" Lloyd asked. Zane panted for a second, and then responded.

"Yes, Lloyd. I've been flying for awhile now." Lloyd quickly dived onto the fairly large island, excited to change back. Jay jumped off Lloyd, and looked around to see where the entrance was.

The Cave, was shaped more like a geode. A few giant crystals poked out of the hard rock. Colors ranging from white, all the way to black. The rock surface was a dull gray color. The only apparent entrance was a huge crack in the rock, with purple crystals surrounding it.

"The only way we're getting in, is through that crack, and if the Crystal Dragon doesn't want us here, than we're most likely walking right into it." Cole stated. Everyone nodded, and Jay seemed more resilient to enter.

"Ahaaha, but the dragon wouldn't kill us right?! We're the ninja! We are the good guys!" Jay said nervously.

"I think we're fine Jay." Wu replied.

"Yeah… I hope so…" Jay worriedly chuckled. They slowly walked over to the crack.

"Whose first?" Nya asked. She nodded to the entrance.

"I vote Lloyd! If the dragon doesn't want us here, at least Lloyd might be able to put up a fight!" Jay recommended. Everyone looked over to Lloyd.

"Of course. The one place I can fit into, and I have to face a dragon." Lloyd remembered that everywhere they went, he couldn't go to because he was so huge. He looked into the entrance, and saw purple-ish glow. There was no apparent source, the crystals must've admitted a glow. If these crystals glow, than this place must look wonderful at night. Lloyd thought. He wondered how long it would take to change back, and if it would be night time by then.

He slowly walked into the crack, and felt a strange warmness.

"Umm, hello?" Lloyd asked. He tried not to sound scared, but he was really scared. He heard a raspy cough.

"Ah. Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon. The mighty Green Ninja. Master of the four elements. Destined to fight your father in the ultimate battle between good and evil." A brash voice said. At the same time it sounded perky. Multiple different voices talking at once. Making it hard to pinpoint the emotion the dragon was trying to display. Lloyd looked to his right, and saw a dangling purple tail with shimmering purple scales, and purple-white spikes.

"How did you know all of that?" Lloyd asked. His eyes followed the tail, until her was looking at the ceiling. Where a huge purple dragon was hanging onto a crystal on the ceiling. The long neck curled up, and wings wrapped around it's body.

"I know of everything, Lloyd. Everything. The First Spinjitsu Master blessed me with this talent. I'm able to discover anything, just because it exists. I knew you were destined to be the Green Ninja. How do you think your mother knew- Whoops! I can't tell you the rest, as it hasn't happened yet." The purple dragon's neck uncurled, and twisted around to see Lloyd. It's eyes piercing into Lloyd's soul. Mouth brimming with neatly spaced jagged teeth. Huge white horns curling around, until in the last curl they ended in a point. Its wings were at least twice the size of the already massive beast. Lloyd was tiny in comparison.

The walls were lined with a rainbow of different colors, all casting a different color glow.

"If you can back away for a second, i'm going to get down." The dragon said. Surprisingly it's mouth did not move. The unmoving lips surprised Lloyd. He backed away as told.

The dragon unfolded it's huge wings, and grunted. It let go of the crystal, and turned around. It flapped its' huge wings, and landed hard on the ground. The ground shook, and Lloyd fell over on his side.

The dragon grunted again.

"I know what you came here for. Go invite your friends in, while I retrieve those crystals you've been searching for for so long now." The dragon smiled. It frowned and turned around.

Lloyd ran out of the cave.

"Good news! The dragon is okay with us coming! They're a little creepy though. Just a warning." Lloyd said. Everyone followed him inside. They stared in awe at the beauty of everything in the cave.

They all stopped when the saw the dragon. It had just turned around.

"Welcome everyone." It said. It had five tiny crystals by its' feet. "Here's the crystals you need. Please go one at a time, as I need to help you."

Jay ran up to it.

"Get rid of the cat body please!" Jay begged. He sat down in front of the dragon. Jay was only the size of one of the dragon's teeth. The dragon looked down at him.

"So, Jay, you want to turn back to normal." The dragon said. It's mouth did not move, but Jay heard it.

"Oh! You talk to me like Oliver! Through my brain, not through your mouth!" Jay yelled.

"Good thinking Jay. That's correct. I can talk verbally, but I choose not to usually. Now, please touch the crystal." The dragon gently kicked a finger sized crystal to Jay. He slowly touched it with his paw.

A feeling like fire spread throughout his body.

"Eughhhhh!" Jay yelled. He quickly removed his paw from the crystal.

"This is going to be very painful, Jay. I'm going to help, but I can only do so much." The dragon soothed. It laid down.

"I don't want it to hurt, but I also don't want to be a cat forever. So, do what you can to help please." Jay said. The dragon inched towards Jay.

"Just lay on my arm." Jay obliged, and jumped onto the huge arm. He felt a cold sensation.

"Now, touch the crystal again." Jay reached out and touched it again. The same fiery sensation spread through him, but it was calmed by the cooling sensation of the dragon.

"Euuuuuurghhh." Jay moaned. He felt his body parts morphing back into a human shape. Bones moving around. Everything was hurting.

"You're doing good Jay."

"EVERYTHING IS PAINFUL EUUUUUURGGGHHHHHH!"

In a few more seconds, Jay was back to normal.

"GGGGHHH GET THE COLLAR OFF"Jay choked. He eventually found the clip, and got it off.

"Wow, Madison designed these really well." Jay said. He studied the design. Nice.

They repeated the process with the others, and eventually everyone was back to normal.
