The Grim Glider(Bounty, they didn't remove the paint) was set on course back to Fountain Falls. In the morning the next day after the evil meeting, some of the Ninja were kind of tired since they couldn't sleep well after what occured the day before. Everyone was in the control room, except Raven and Lloyd who were on deck.
"Oh man I could barely sleep last night," Kai said, with his head laid on the table.
"I know, after what happened yesterday, I couldn't keep my eyes closed either," Cole said as he yawned.
"Aw, you couldn't sleep too?" Christa said, as she looked towards Cole, concerned.
"Yeah. Who could sleep after seeing that guy? He appears out of nowhere on the Bounty, and then he teleports somewhere else," Cole said, as Flare responded,
"He didn't teleport actually."
Everyone turned towards Flare, as she sat besides Kai with her hands folded.
Then she said, "He actually jumped and ran. He was just so fast that it looked as if he teleported."
The majority in the room gasped, as Jay said, "Woah wait, you mean to tell me he was that fast? Even faster then..."
"Even faster than you Jay?" Cole asked with a smirk, as Jay turned to him quick and said,
"No! I mean uh... no one could be that fast, heh heh, right?"
Jay gestured towards Flare, as she shook her head.
"He was that fast. I sensed his movements. It wasn't like Ryan or Silva, they actually disappeared for a moment. He was actually still on my radar... though very subtle," Flare said.
Jay gulped and lowered his hand.
"Darkness is very powerful," Auria said and continued, "and we can safely assume that during all these years he has been in captivity, that his power has only grown stronger."
After a moment of silence, Zane said, "How are we to defeat such a powerful adversary?"
"Hey, come on guys lighten up!"
Everyone turned to look at Dareth, who was standing where the window was adjacent to Violet, who leaned against the wall with her arms folded.
Then Dareth continued, "I mean, come on, I've known you guys long enough. Especially the guys, no offense ladies..."
He started to walk around the room as he spoke,
"You guys fought the Great Devourer, and you defeated the Overlord. Of course I helped, but that was because of you guys. The reason I even wanted to become a ninja was because of you guys. I may not have spinjitzu like you guys and gals do, but I can see that spinjitzu alone won't stop Darkness. It's the people who use the spinjitzu that can overcome any darkness or evil that shows it's face... So what do you say, let's take down this Darkness guy once and for all!"
Kai nodded at Dareth, as did Cole and Zane.
Jay started to sniffle a bit and said, "Yeah, that's right."
Christa nodded, as did Auria, and Flare said,
"Huh... your actually right."
"Great speech Dareth. You are a fine ninja indeed," Sensei Wu said, as he placed his hand on Dareth's shoulder.
Then Dareth started to sniffle and said, "Thank you Sensei... um... I need a moment to... gain my composure."
Dareth quickly walked over to the window and stood looking away, as the others just looked at one another and shrugged. When no one else was paying attention for that moment, Violet said to Dareth,
"Great speech indeed Dareth. I'm impressed."
Dareth turned to Violet, stunned, and then he smiled, as Violet smiled back.
"He's right. As long as we're all together, our light will always conquer the darkness," Misako said, as the others nodded.
"Alright, so what's the plan now?" Kai asked.
"We should first speak to King Terrin, and see if he has learned something about Lucy's whereabouts," Sensei Wu said.
"Then we should retrieve the Viporeon Pearl, and see if we could find the Purple ninja before Darkness does," Garmadon said.
"Doesn't Raven possess the pearl?" Zane asked, as Auria answered,
"Actually, she returned the pearl to it's sanctuary about a week ago."
"Where is this sanctuary?" Dr. Julien asked.
"Only a Viporeon or Raven and her father know where the sanctuary is," Christa said.
"Wait, but didn't Marcell find the sanctuary already?" Cole asked, as the room stood silent for a moment.
"You... don't think Marcell actually told them where it is, right?" Jay asked, as more silence filled the room...
"We have to talk to King Terrin and retrieve the pearl! Marcell is not officially with us, so there is a chance she already told them!" Sensei Wu said, and Nya responded,
"I'm already on it Sensei! And with the new gear and improvements on the Bounty, we should get to Fountain Falls in no time."
Jay walked over to the computer and started typing, "Yeah! I've been wanting to test out the new boosters for a while now."
"Someone should tell Lloyd and Raven before they go flying off the Bounty," Cole said, as Kai said,
"You mean 'Grim Glider.'"
Flare chuckled and said, "Yeah Cole, it's the 'Grim Glider' now."
Cole just shrugged and said, "Alright, alright, the 'Grim Glider' then."
Kai stood up and said, "I'll go get'em."
But before Kai took a step, Misako said, "Sensei Wu already went to fetch them."
The Ninja looked around the room, since they didn't realize he already left.
"Man, for an old guy, he's pretty light on his feet, huh?" Flare said, as the others agreed.
"So what do think?" Raven asked, as Lloyd thought for a moment.
They both stood on the upper deck of the Grim Glider. Lloyd was looking over the side railing, while Raven stood looking ahead of the Grim Glider. Then Lloyd turned to look at Raven, as she looked at him.
"I don't know," he said almost sadly and continued, "I didn't even know there was another Green ninja before me. I thought I was the only one... but after seeing the scrolls and Darkness... there's no way I can deny it... and even the Purple ninja. I didn't know there was a Purple ninja either. All this stuff I didn't know..."
Lloyd looked away, deep in his thoughts. Then Raven moved closer to Lloyd, and she placed her hand on his shoulder. Lloyd looked towards Raven, and she said,
"It's alright Lloyd. No one knew about any of this either. Not even Sensei Wu, and he knows a lot of things."
Lloyd just smirked, and then he said, "But how are we suppose to find the Purple ninja? They could be anyone..."
Raven took her hand off Lloyd's shoulder and said, "Well, if the Green and Purple ninja were friends before, then maybe it's someone you already know."
Lloyd thought about it, and then he said, "So the Purple ninja... could be anyone on the Bounty."
"Grim Glider," Raven corrected with one hand up, as Lloyd nodded and said,
"Oh yeah, Grim Glider."
They both started to laugh, and then they made eye contact and just stood there, lost in each other's eyes. They moved closer together, holding hands, until they heard someone say,
"Oh, I'm sorry. Am I interrupting?"
Lloyd and Raven jumped back from one another, as they turned and saw Sensei Wu standing there with his walking stick.
"Uh, Uncle! Um, no, your not interrupting." -Lloyd
"We weren't really doing anything anyway." -Raven
"Yeah, heh heh," Lloyd was rubbing the back of his head and Raven was twiddling her hands, as they both were blushing.
Sensei Wu just smiled and said, "Well then, I hope your both ready. We have to hurry to Fountain Falls. We just realized something crutial."
Lloyd and Raven straightened up, as Lloyd asked,
"What is it?"
Sensei Wu answered, as he stroked his beard,
"We've just realized that Darkness is most likely trying to possess the Purple ninja's orb, the Viporeon pearl, to find the Purple ninja. And if memory serves me correctly, Marcell was the one who found the pearl in the first place, so she would know where the sanctuary is and may have already informed him of it's whereabouts."
Then Raven said, "So, they may be on their way there now."
Sensei nodded and said, "We must speak to your father first, Raven, to see what he has learned about Lucy, and then we must hurry to the sanctuary."
Raven nodded and said, "Yeah, the sanctuary isn't too far from where we're meeting my dad anyway."
Then Lloyd said, "But we have to be careful. We wouldn't want Darkness or anyone following us to Fountain Falls."
Sensei nodded and said, "Yes, that is why we have to go below deck. We're using the boosters and we wouldn't want any accidents."
Lloyd and Raven nodded towards one another, as they started walking.
"Then let's go," Lloyd said, but Sensei Wu didn't move.
"What is it Uncle?"
"Is something the matter?"
Lloyd and Raven asked, as Sensei Wu looked at both of them and said,
"Lloyd, I haven't told you about the vision I had, did I?"
Lloyd was confused as he said, "No. When was this?"
Sensei nodded and said, "I'll explain as we head inside. Raven, even though I already told you, it may be best to hear it again."
Raven nodded towards Sensei Wu, as Lloyd looked at Raven with a raised eyebrow, and she half smiled at Lloyd. The three walked down to the deck and within the Grim Glider, as Sensei Wu told Lloyd about the vision.
After Sensei Wu explained the dream to Lloyd, and Raven explained what her father told her, Lloyd took a moment to take in what he just heard. Halfway through the hall of the Grim Glider, Lloyd stood thinking about this with a tense expression on his face, while Sensei Wu and Raven waited to hear his response.
Then Lloyd looked up at them and said, "So, the hooded person... that must be Darkness... and I had to fight him."
Sensei Wu and Raven looked down sadly, as Lloyd also looked down, with furrowed brows. Then Lloyd looked up at Raven and walked closer to her. She looked up at him a bit confused, until he placed one hand on her shoulder and said,
"Raven, I will protect you. Darkness will not lay one hand on you if I have something to say about it. I'll always be there for you, no matter what."
Raven smiled and nodded towards Lloyd. Sensei Wu looked at both of them and smiled.
"That's so cute."
Raven, Lloyd, and Sensei Wu turned and saw the ninja and kunoichi looking at them from the control room. Lloyd took his hand off Raven's shoulder, as they both straightened up with a light blush on their faces. Sensei turned to the ninja and kunoichi with a serious expression, as their eyes widened and they ran back into the control room. Sensei Wu turned to Lloyd and Raven and nodded, as he walked back into the control room. Lloyd and Raven smiled at Sensei as he entered the room. Then Raven turned towards Lloyd and looked at him lovingly, as she moved her hand over his hair since one lock was out of place. Lloyd turned towards Raven and smiled at her, as he stroked her hair. He became a little sad when he thought about the vision, as Raven took noticed.
"Lloyd, I believe in you. I trust you'll be there when I need you, and I'll be there for you too," Raven said, as Lloyd looked into her gleaming eyes and said,
"I know."
They both smiled and held hands, as they walked into the control room.
"There's our favorite people," Flare said, with her cheek resting on her hand, as Raven and Lloyd sat down together.
"Alright guys, let's get this thing moving!" Jay said excitedly, as he hit a large blue button that shifted the gears in the Grim Glider and it set off in top speed. Everyone in the Grim Glider wasn't effected much by the speed, so they didn't go flying into the wall, but they could feel that they were moving really fast.
"Woohoo. Those boosters are fast," Cole said, as he stood up and felt the turbulence even more.
"That's Aeroplane tech for ya. We're already used to making boosters and stuff for the aerocars and aerocycles, so I guess you can say we are Boost Masters," Christa said to Cole with a smile, as he nodded towards her and smiled back.
"That's why I said don't hit the blue button on the aerocars," Flare said in a nonchalant voice, as she looked towards Zane and Lloyd, and they looked towards one another, nervously.
