(A/N: This one-shot is an alternate in Chapter 9 of March of the Oni that I changed before PrincePacman47 suggested I redid these. Also, I'm briefly switching polls, wondering who should be Cirrus' unborn baby's godfather. Then, once the next alternate scene is up, I'll change it to godmother)


At the stern section just outside the control room, Nya was sitting over the edge, sobbing before Geoff comes out, and looks at her. "Nya... care for a little company?" He asked.

"Go right ahead." She replied as Geoff soon sat down, but she kept sobbing.

"I, uh... I'm sorry for calling you a killer and slapped you."

"I felt like I deserved it."

"No. It seems that I forgot to remember what Master Wu said in times like this, 'If one is to blame, all is to blame'. I blame you for my sister's death and I blame myself for letting my anger out on you."

"I blame myself for her and Cole's deaths."

"But the Oni are to blame for causing it."

"I just can't help thinking... if only I'd pushed the handle the right way..."

"Hey, it was an accident. They loved you like a sister."

"I just can't believe they're dead."

"Neither can I. But, I believe they wouldn't want us to quit."

"How?"

"They would want us to keep fighting." Kai said as he came out, obviously hearing the whole thing before Geoff got up, and allowed Kai to take his place while heading back inside. "You're the brains here, sis, so..." There was a brief amount of silence before Nya looked at her brother.

"Me?"

"You're the one who's always building everything and coming up with all the plans. You, Blake and Zane, and Blake and Zane are not much use at the moment."

"Yeah, you're right. Okay." She soon stood up. "Let's set a course for the Monastery of Spinjitzu. It has a forge."

"A forge?"

"To melt down the Golden Armour. Kai, the Golden Armour was forged out of the Weapons of Spinjitzu. So..."

"So...?"

"So, if we can melt it down and forge it back into weapons, we can use those to fight the Oni."

"Ha!" Kai stands up. "That's a great idea!" He prepares to leave. "I'll tell the others..." He immediately stopped at the doorway. "Wait, wait, wait... the Weapons of Spinjitzu were forged at the Temple of Light. You can't just go to any old blacksmith."

"I'm not. I'm coming to you."

"Me?" He clears his throat. "Are you crazy? I haven't forged even a damn sword for 4 years." He takes off his right glove to look at the lion burn scar on his hand.

"You're the Elemental Master of Fire, Kai. Your fire can melt down the armour. You're the only chance we have."

Kai soon sighed. "So the future of all Ninjago depends on my blacksmithing abilities?"

"Yep..." She nudges him. "...pretty much."

They both look at the sun. "No pressure."


At the NGTV News Station in the black cloud, there was a broken window in a skylight in one of the middle floors. "Hang on, guys!" Jay's voice was heard in a small hallucination.

"Cole, just let me go!" Gewuji's voice was heard in a small hallucination. "The rope is gonna give!"

"I'm not letting you go!" Cole's voice was heard in a small hallucination.

"Cole!" Jay's voice was heard in a small hallucination.

"Gewuji!" Geoff's voice was heard in a small hallucination. The broken skylight lead to a hallway. By some smashed glass from the broken window were Cole and Gewuji. They were both not moving, a little far away from each other, their gis a little torn, and slightly bleeding a little before their heads move a bit.


At the monastery a few minutes later, Dragon, Misako, Cirrus, Tania and Mantis soon came out to the training ground upon hearing one of the monks mentioning the Ninja returning. Mantis was rubbing around his legs a little. "Let us see what news the Ninja have brought." Dragon said. The Destiny's Bounty stops next to the monastery before Kai, Jay, Zane, Lloyd, Nya, Geoff, Maggie and Blake came up to Dragon, Misako, Cirrus, Tania, Mantis and the monks with depression on their faces. "What is it?"

"Gewuji... and Cole, they... they..." Nya tries to answer, but started to sob as Jay tries to reassure her.

"They're dead." He said.

"They fell into the Darkness." Blake said.

They were all immediately depressed to have heard the supposed demise. "And the Realm Crystal?" Dragon asked.

"We destroyed it, but it didn't stop them." Lloyd replied.

"What do we do now?" Misako asked.

"Luckily, you have me." Oni replied, coming up to them while holding the Golden Armour.

"Oni?"

Tania immediately ran towards Oni, screaming in anger before she pushes him down and raised a fist to strike him in the face. "You bastard!" She yelled, striking him again a couple of times.

"Mom!" Geoff yelled, running towards her.

"You got my daughter killed!" Tania strikes him once more. "I want her back! I WANT MY DAUGHTER BACK!"

Geoff grabs hold of her. "Mom, enough!"

He pulls her away from Oni as she started to cry. "Gewuji. My baby!" She turned to cry into Geoff's shoulder. "I want my baby back."

"Calm down, mommy." He slowly moves her away from Oni.

"Misako, the old me would have said something heartfelt and sweet." He said as he stood up, unfazed by the beat up. "But, I am no longer that man." He then turned to Dragon. "Dragon, wipe that gloomy look off your face, and do something with this." He throws the armour over to them, which Mantis quickly caught.

"Dragon's turd!" He said as he looked at it.

"The Armour of the Golden Master?" Dragon asked as he looked at it while Oni briefly stopped to look at Mantis, who just stared fearlessly at him before continuing onward.

"If we melt it down and reforge the Weapons of Spinjitzu, we might still have a chance." Nya said.

"Prepare the forge."

Kai soon sighed. "Guess I better get to it, huh?" He asked.

"Kai, you're the Master of Fire." Nya replied as they look at him with reassuring faces. "You can do this."

"Yeah, right. How hard can it be?" Kai comes up to Mantis, takes the armour, and walks away as he, Dragon, Misako, Cirrus and Tania watch him and the other Ninja leave before Dragon rubbed his eyes, saddened by the supposed deaths of two of his students.

"Cole..." He sadly said. "Gewuji..."
