I'm so sorry I haven't posted in so long! Answers to your review BraveS3 is on the last chapter, and I once again thank you for finding my mistakes! Google Docs has a tendency to autocorrect names. I am currently on vacation, so I won't be able to update for a while, and I will also be moving soon so I will have limited time when it comes down to Fanfiction. I've got to be quick, so enjoy this short chapter! I'll post again soon!


Walking up to the sunlight, I yawned. I groggily got ready for the day, and decided to use my wrench again today. Once again, the pen would probably do little damage to the stone warriors, so the wrench should at least work to slow anything down. I put it in an accessible pocket, and nodded to myself.

I walked out of my room and up to the deck, only to find a wall of sand. Looking down, I saw that Zane was shovelling sand quickly into a pile.

"-We're ninja and we know how to hide." Jay said, putting a large leaf against the boat.

"Why hide when we can fight? I'm getting tired of having our heads buried in the sand. I want to fight these guys!" Cole ranted in frustration.

"It's a fight you can't win. Besides, hiding is just as important as fighting. If you fight, then they'll know everything about you. Then they will find a way to defend themselves. It's like fighting water, you can't win unless you have the right abilities." I spoke, jumping down from the ship.

"To gain such power, we must travel to the Temple of Light." Sensei Wu interjected. Everyone silenced, and followed the experienced man inside. We walked into the bridge, with Misako and Nya waiting. I strayed away from the forming little crowd, and I stood near the door. I drowned out Misako's voice until I jumped slightly when I heard Cole.

"So that means we get to fight! Woo hoo, I've got happy feet!" Cole shouted, and I grumbled slightly, finally deciding to listen to the mother and her scrolls.

"And you, my son. Here it is written: 'Once the Green Ninja finds the instrument of peace, he will strike it, and know the power of the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master.'" Misako read.

"Ultimate Spinjitzu Master?" Lloyd echoed, not quite understanding.

"It means you will be able to invoke the power of the golden dragon. It's an ancient power only practiced by the First Spinjitzu Master." Misako explained, and the others gaped at Lloyd, all of them in awe of what he would learn. Lloyd laughed at them a little.

"Jealous?" He said, rubbing in that he would be the best.

"Wait a minute, this all sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" Kai asked, the only one who seemed grounded in the fact that this was very fortunate, too fortunate to not have a bad side.

"The catch is, the temple could be anywhere on the island. All we have is this." Sensei Wu said, pulling out a golden medallion.

"A medallion! It's like a compass, when the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden!" Julien exclaimed, taking the brass medallion from Sensei.

"How did you know that?" Jay asked, suspicious.

"Oh I did a lot of reading in my spare time, adventure stories were my favorite!" Julien laughed, holding the medallion casually.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Zane said, taking the metal from his father's hands, and everyone left to exit the room and head out to search. However, Lloyd was stopped by his uncle.

"Not you Lloyd." Sensei firmly ordered.

"Aw, seriously? Are we still doing this?" Lloyd angrily stressed, displeased with being unable to fight.

"Wu is right, if you were to come across you father, it may start the final battle prematurely. We must be at full strength before we take any risks." Misako advised, moving Sensei aside slightly. Jay laughed.

"Jealous?" Jay taunted, and Lloyd scoffed.

"Well, I could use some help around the shop. I want to help make vehicles that will give us a fighting chance!" Julien cheered, trying to get Lloyd into helping.

"Remember, Garmadon does not know we are on the island. It is imperative that you stay out of sight." Wu warned.

"Of course, Sensei! Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh?" Jay tried to convince the sensei that it would be alright. Sensei, Misako, and Lloyd stared at the group with their faces stating 'seriously?'

"I'm sure he can give you a list later." I put in my two cents, and Jay looked at me with the same face, but with a more 'you ruined my joke' kind of look.

"Oh, and before you do you battle cry, I suggest whispering it. If you yell, you might give away our location." I told the group before they were about to scream 'Ninja-go!'

"Fine. Ninja-go!" They all whispered together, before running out.

"They are going to completely disregard your orders, you know that right?" I stated.

"Then you must watch over them, make sure that they do not get caught!" He ordered. I stiffened.

"I am afraid I cannot do that. I observe. I only interfere when necessary. I do not follow your orders. I follow time." I harshly replied, and something seemed to click in his eyes. However, it appeared small, and I was already running outside to catch up with the four. We ran through the forest, keeping our steps light and soundless. Eventually we reached Garmadon's base, and we hid on top of a large rock.

"This must be Garmadon's camp!" Jay quietly exclaimed. The winner of the Captain Obvious award is… Jay!

"No, you think? I thought it was a takeout restaurant." Kai sarcastically stated.

"It looks like he's building something." Cole noticed.

"Most likely a weapon. It appears big, so most likely a large range weapon, or a heavily defensive moving machine." I replied, already knowing what it was.

"There's no time to think about that. We need to find what the medallion matches up to!" Cole whispered.

"Here's a clue: Temple of Light. It isn't going to be some random tree." I advised the group. Zane took the medallion, and looked through it.

"Nothing's matching up… Wait!" Zane exclaimed, finding his falcon amongst the warriors.

"You found the temple?" Jay gasped.

"No, look!" Zane cried out, pointing towards his 'mechanical feathered friend.'

"The falcon? I thought we lost it for good when it was shot down." Kai stated.

"Not if I can retrieve it and bring the pieces back to my father!" Zane exclaimed, standing up.

"Wait, but we're not here for that. We're supposed to be finding the Temple of Light, and staying out of sight!" Cole stressed, trying to stop Zane.

"If I were any of you, I would do the same. I must save my friend." Zane vowed as he jumped down to get his falcon back.

"Jenga, and the tower is falling down…" I sing songed, glad everything was on track.

"You have one sick mind, you know that?" Kai deadpanned.

"Eh, I used to be called crazy before, nothing new." I shrugged, watching the scene unfold.

"Well, we can't go down there. The more of us, the more chance we'll get caught. We'll just have to sit here and wait." Kai ordered. Jay sat back with the medallion, trying to find the temple. He looked around, pointing at trees.

"It certainly seems you've forgotten my hint. Oh well, you obviously seem to think the temple is above you in close range, so keep looking. I'm sure you'll find it." I sarcastically said, watching him try to find it.

"How about you try it?" Jay huffed, forcing the medallion into my hands. I rolled my eyes, and found the exact line-up for the temple in seconds. I already knew where it was, so it didn't matter to me.

"I found Waldo. Surely you can find the temple too! Just keep looking to the trees, and I'm so sure that magical three floating branches will randomly appear." I mocked Jay, and he was surprised to know I found it.

"Where is it then? Show us!" Kai demanded and I rolled my eyes.

"I already knew where it was from the beginning, dummies. Of course, I only was able to see until the special, but I know a lot about Ninjago's history." I mumbled, giving the medallion back to Kai.

"I take it back. You're more cruel than sick." Kai angrily whispered.

"Another thing I was called but only when I stole my friend's food or stuff. Sometimes tease them too. Though you should watch Zane." I recommended, and the three turned to Zane.

"Will he just hurry up?" Kai frustratingly mumbled. Then Jay took the medallion and followed my advice.

"No trees, no trees… Look!" Jay exclaimed, finally finding the temple.

"Finally. You should never become an investigator, you'll only point out the specks of dust that mean absolutely nothing." I grumbled, and Jay gave a 'hey!' of denial.

"It matches up! That must be the temple of light!" Kai happily whispered. Then shouts and growls of 'ninja' were heard below us, and we saw Zane was discovered, holding the falcon.

"That's it! I'm fighting!" Cole started, but Kai stopped him.

"No, we can't! They're indestructible. If we go, they'll know we're here." Kai stated.

"Who do you think is going to stop Zane from telling if he is captured? I highly doubt he can actually stick to a lie." I told the remaining three undiscovered Ninja.

"She's right. Besides, if we don't go out there, we'll regret it for the rest of our lives! Come on guys, it's Zane!" Cole convinced the two. They jumped away and went to get a large vehicle to run over the warrior. I stayed on the rock, watching from above.

Cole ran over the soldiers with the giant vehicle, and yelled at Zane to start moving. Then more soldiers appeared and started to close in behind the Ninja. They tried to get out by creating a human ladder, but spears were thrown at the top, and they dispersed back onto the ground.

They were surrounded, and spears were hurled at their heads. The four ducked, barely avoiding the spears. The Ninja noticed the gate that was slowly closing, and they made a break for it. They ran quickly, eventually running onto a small rickety wooden rope bridge. They looked back to see the stone warriors laughing, then looked forwards to find more warriors.

The bridge creaked and crackled before finally breaking, and the Ninja used their spinjitzu and a plank to 'snowboard' away from the situation. I stood up, ready to leave, and I was lucky enough to walk away.

I ran to catch up with the speedy Ninja, getting a stitch in my side halfway there, but I still pushed on. I was barely able to keep up, before I reached the Bounty with the Ninja, my lungs feeling like a volcano decided to blow up inside of them.

"Found! Run! Everyone… Knows!" I yelled out, still catching my breath. My side hurt, and so did my legs. A lot. Everyone crowded and started to talk, while I shuffled quickly over to the giant drill Julien made.

I crawled inside, still breathing heavily. I waited for a minute before the Ninja started to hop in, just barely enough room for all of us, even me.

"Whatever you do, do not stop until you get to the Temple of Light. Our survival depends on it." Sensei ordered.

"This time, we'll stick to the plan." Kai affirmed, before pressing a button to close the vehicle's top. The drill started to move, and we quickly accelerated. However, as soon as we left, a whole fleet of stone warrior vehicles chased after us, tailing closely behind.

"Uh, you do know how to steer this thing, don't you?" Jay yelled over the noise. Cole responded by turning to the right, having the fleet chase after him. Then he turned around, and launched the vehicle into the air with a ramp made of rocks, and we headed straight for the ground just in front of a stone vehicle. Cole pulled a lever, and suddenly we were drilling underneath the vehicle, and I was screaming, just like everyone else. I calmed down after a few moments, before Cole drove the drill back up to land, just in front of the mountain that held the Temple of Light.

"Well, that's about as far as this baby will go. We'll have to do the rest on our own." Cole stated, hearing a beep come from the vehicle's system.

"But we'll never make it up the mountain before they arrive!" Lloyd exclaimed worriedly. Kai pressed the button to open the glass roof again.

"Then let's see what my sister packed." He said, jumping towards the back of the drill. Kai pressed a golden button on the back of the vehicle, and it popped out. It hopped then landed, expanding to reveal a new mech suit. It was gold and red, her signature samurai colors.

"Oh, I love my sis!" Ka happily cheered, and I stared at it, with my own wide eyes.

"I think I might just love her too if she can do this in an hour." I gaped before Kai got on the mech, sitting where the controls were. Yet, the fleet of stone warriors were back, and were showing no mercy.

"Leave this to me." Kai confidently said, jumping to meet the stone vehicles upfront. He landed right in front of the leading vehicle, before grabbing it and throwing it far away. The warrior screamed as he was tossed through the air, and landed in the trees. The next vehicles were destroyed by a shockwave from Kai when he smashed the ground. One of them was even set on fire, somehow, but I didn't question it.

Kai started to walk back, satisfied with the destruction. Yet, through the smoke, one more vehicle arrived. It put out the fire, Two more followed, and looked to Kozu, the general.

"These guys just don't stop!" Jay yelled, noticing the vehicles.

"If you can't beat them with literal elements, what makes you think that a little shockwave was going to hold them back?" I said, annoyed for no reason.

"Well what do you know? All you've ever done is say 'observe, no, I can't!' What can you do?" Jay angrily yelled, looking towards me. Everyone followed Jay's action, and looked towards me.

"Exactly what you just said. I don't exactly have the power to choose whether Ninjago should be conquered or not. That was up to someone else, and I have to make sure it stays that way." I sneered, and Jay backed away slightly.

Kai was close now, and we jumped onto the mech. I sat above Kai, holding onto a golden sword of sorts on the back for dear life. If I let go, I was not coming back, that's for sure. Kai turned back to see the stone warriors getting closer, and he turned away quickly. Swiftly, he controlled the mech up the mountain, climbing the rock face.

Defying the laws of physics, the stone warriors followed on their vehicles. Continuing on, Kai kept climbing. They tried to fire at us, but Kai was able to slow them down, and use a grappling hook to get to the top. Quickly we landed and stood before the Temple of Light.

"The Temple of Light." Lloyd exclaimed.

"We don't have forever, let's go." I swiftly urged the team to move. Everyone listened, and ran inside.

"Whoa, it's all our battles." Jay noticed.

"Our fights against the Serpentine…" Cole pointed out.

"Finding the Bounty…" Kai's voice echoed.

"Look, even now!" Jay said, but Zane pointed at it.

"It is incorrect. Cole should be pointing at the tile, and we are in the wrong order. However, Starlord is missing from each of these tiles. Why is that?" Zane asked.

"Destiny never planned for me. I was never supposed to meet you all. Remember when you said you didn't know what you would do without me? This is what you would have done." I confessed.

"It's destiny. You can't just… Not be a part of it." Lloyd mumbled in confusion.

"Destiny doesn't include me. Why do you think that I always say that I observe?" I sighed.

"You know the future, don't you?" Kai figured it out. I fidgeted, I didn't want them to know.

"I thought we were trying to figure out how to give Lloyd his power." I hurriedly tried to change the subject.

"You do know, don't you!" Kai accused, but he was correct.

"Lloyd, power, limited time. Figure it out." I growled, staying far away from Kai.

"She's right, we can talk about this later. The stone army won't stay behind us for too long." Cole defended, and Kai backed off. He still felt the need to give me a stare, until he looked around.

"I think I know what we need to do." Lloyd said as he brushed away dust from the green ninja symbol on the floor. The others followed suit, brushing away the dust from their respective symbols. Together, they all were standing on their elemental symbols, but nothing was happening.

"Uh, now what?" Lloyd asked, unsure of what to do next. Battle cries from the stone warriors outside were heard loud and clear.

"Liberty." I simply replied, thinking about the American Liberty Bell. Why not, right?

"Can't you just make this easier?" Cole whined.

"He'll figure it out." I simply replied, stepping towards the back of the temple, away from the door and symbols. Lloyd concentrated for a moment, looking down at his green symbol, before shaking his head and looking up to see the giant bell above his head.

"The bell! It's an instrument!" Lloyd cried out as he pointed to the bell.

"Ding ding ding ding! You got it, and you prize is… Golden power. Now hurry up before they get here, I don't want to get hurt again." I snarked, but I still rushed the Ninja. Lloyd nodded, and ran towards a pillar before running up it and jumping backwards, twisting his figure to move into a kicking motion.

My ears rang as his foot hit the metal of the bell, a loud deep clang coming from the bell. Lloyd landed underneath the bell, right on his symbol. Inside the bell, a bright light formed and a beam shot down on top of Lloyd, illuminating him.

"Whoa, what's happening?" Lloyd yelled out in panic.

"It's okay! It's a power transfer, don't worry!" I yelled back in comfort.

"No one move!" Zane ordered. Lloyd nodded, trusting us, before embracing the light, lifting his head. A thin concentrated beam of white light shot down, reflecting off of the metal on his hood. It shot forward before hitting a crystal, then another, and another, and another until it reached Kai's pillar. It lit up, and a gold light shimmered down Kai's body, before giving him a golden base for a sword. He gained a new suit, shinier and brighter than ever before. Another beam of light shot out from Kai's pillar, before landing on Jay's pillar. It lit up too, and more beams of light shot out, hitting every crystal in the cave.

Cole was next in getting a new suit and a golden sword base. The light shimmered down his body, revealing a new black ninja outfit. Jay got his own golden makeover, and Zane followed last. Then Lloyd began to float up into the air slowly, his eyes closed against the blinding light. He continued to welcome the light into his arms, now twirling around an invisible center, never moving from his spot.

Everyone paused in a moment of sheer awe, even I gaped at the scene before me.

Something about just being here, and the emotional connections I've made, makes this so much more amazing.

Suddenly, a clear red-tinted blade erupts from Kai's golden base, fire blooming from the blade. It's rugged and scrambled edges giving a natural crystal-like look to the blade. Cole's base follows, a dark magenta to green blade appearing from the hilt. A small dirt cloud bursts from his sword. Jay gains a light green to dark blue blade, lightning crackling and springing from the tips of his new sword. Zane is once again last, but receives a white tinted blade, ice shards softly forming around the crystal-like material.

"Guys, send him your powers!" Kai ordered, and each ninja held their blade up high, before thrusting it downwards to point at Lloyd's floating form. Beams of their elements converged onto Lloyd's body, creating a powerful display of energy from the scene. A green shield appeared around Lloyd for a mere moment, before it disappeared and a golden dragon roared as Lloyd fell to the ground, the energy finally transferred.

"Lloyd!" Kai cried out in worry, afraid for the Green Ninja. I was more worried about the stone warriors. If anything was going to hurt me right now, it would be them. If one already gave me a coma, I'm not enthusiastic to face them again.

"Let 'em have it!" Lloyd yelled as a battle cry, recovering from the transfer. He now sported his own new suit, matching the styles of the others.

"Now we get to fight!" Cole declared, ready to destroy the stone warriors. The little army of warriors walked in, the lead holding a sword. He slashed it down towards Kai, but Kai retaliated with his own new sword. Fire danced on the crystal blade, illuminating the two. The stone warrior reeled backwards, eyes wide, but as soon as it came it was gone.

"Cool!" Kai spoke, impressed with his new blade. He struck it into the ground, fire burning in the swords wake. Kai ran around the warriors, creating a circle of fire around them, discouraging any sort of movement. Kai cheered as he jumped through his ring of fire, kicking and punching the warriors out of the circle.

Jay electrocuted the next set, all of them lined up in a row. The one in the back was shot backwards by the energy, falling to the blades electric wrath. I breathed a sigh of relief, I was protected. I started to focus on Zane, and I watched as he did his nex-

"MMPH!" I screamed as a stone warrior had stuffed my mouth with my hood, effectively silencing me. He quickly picked me up and dragged me outside the temple, just before anyone could notice. I struggled fruitlessly against the stone warrior, and he would just tighten his grip to a painful point if I started to kick. He traversed down the mountain with calculated and precise steps, each one light and swift. I stopped struggling, I didn't want to get tossed down the mountain face.

Bright light shone behind me, and I tried to peer backwards, and I succeeded. I saw the golden dragon in all of it's glory, standing tall upon the mountain. I watched until it faded, and I reached the bottom of the mountain with the warrior. He said something in his language, and I guessed it was most likely along the lines of 'scream and I will hurt you.'

"I will not scream. You have captured me fair and square. I will follow you." I surrendered. The stone warrior glared, before starting to walk, only lightly holding my arm now. At least it was not a death grip, I was already wary of the stone army. Together we walked in silence, never talking to each other. It was a walk of dread for me.

I had yet to see what the Dark Matter would do to me.

Eventually, we arrived at Garmadon's camp, and I was greeted by none other than Garmadon and the Overlord.

"Starlord. What a pleasant surprise. I suppose you were caught by only one warrior, hmm?" Garmadon provoked.

"You would assume correctly. If you are wondering who I am Overlord, I am the Starlord. I am not included in Destiny's plans, if you are looking for an answer to my appearance. I suspect that I will be your first test subject for the Dark Matter you have acquired?" I put on a calm facade, while I was internally panicking.

"You hold an energy, an energy that is similar to mine. Explain your presence." The Overlord rasped out, floating around me.

"Dimension traveller of sorts. Energy? Well, I don't know anything about that. Is that why the stone army has a particular dislike for my existence?" I asked, a little curious.

"I'd be more worried about the Dark Matter if I were you. With someone like you on our side, who knows what kind of knowledge you could teach us!" Garmadon growled out.

"You can pry that information from my cold dead chest. I will never tell you willingly. No one deserves the burden of my world here." I vowed, and Garmadon laughed with the Overlord. A warrior brought a plate of Dark Matter.

"Since you seem to be so intent on being a wise-alec, why not give this to you directly? Any last words?" Garmadon laughed as he held the dark matter in front of me, stone warriors now holding me still.

"Give me Liberty, or give me death." I sneered, before the Dark Matter was stuffed into my face, and I felt dizzy. Whatever that purple stuff was, it felt great! It was tasty even. Hey, what's that moving orb again?

"Sh-s n- ev-l." The tall black thing said.

"What?" I slurred out, unsure if I could even talk correctly.

"Ag-n!" A raspy voice yelled, grating on my ears. My face was stuffed into the sweet purple gel, and I hummed happily into it. Then everything else became a blur.
