"Ultra Dragon, your alright!" Lloyd said, as he ran over to Ultra dragon, and each head nuzzled his master.

"Oh man, it's been a while," Kai said.

"Yeah, we haven't seen ya in a long time huh big guy?" Jay said.

"Rocky!" Cole called out, as ran over to Rocky's head and hugged him.

"Thank goodness he's alright," Zane said, as he approached the ice dragon's head and was petting him.

"So, this is Ultra dragon?" Christa said curiously, as she slowly approached the magnificent dragon.

"Yeah, he's pretty friendly once you get to know him," Cole said, as he gestured towards Christa to come closer.

She took a few more steps closer, as Cole moved to the side and let Christa and the Ultra dragon bond by a pat on the nose. Christa smiled and continued to pet Rocky's head, as the other heads of the Ultra dragon gathered around to greet the Yellow kunoichi.

"Heh heh, hey man what's up? You got a lot of heads on your shoulders huh big guy," Christa said, as she stroked each head.

Cole smiled with his fists on hips, as he watched Christa getting along with Ultra dragon.

"What a magnificent beast, he's beautiful," Auria said, as Zane turned to her and nodded.

Kai turned and saw that Flare was standing a little off to the side in her own thoughts. He approached her and asked,

"Hey Flare, what's the matter? You haven't spoken for a while, and that's pretty odd considering it's you."

Flare looked at Kai in distaste, as he raised his hands and quickly said,

"Uh, I don't mean it in a bad way, it's just your usually the first person to talk, and I thought you would be the first to even pet the Ultra dragon, you know."

Flare just signed and looked down for a moment, and then she looked back up and said solemnly,

"Yes, I know Kai. I'm just making sure Darkness isn't around. I don't sense him anymore so I guess he really left us alone."

Flare shrugged and walked past Kai to greet the Ultra dragon. As Flare stroked the fire dragon's head, Kai looked at her in confusion with his head tilted to the side thinking,

'That's weird. No comeback at me? And she even said my name... something's up, and I'm gonna find out what...'

As Kai started walking towards Flare, a voice was heard saying,

"Hey guys I got it!"

The ninja and kunoichi turned, as well as Ultra dragon and Violet, to see Raven on the seventh platform, holding the Viporeon pearl up in the air and waving it a little.

"Alright Raven, you got it!" Jay said cheerfully, and then Flare said,

"About time."

"Come on guys, we got the pearl. Let's hurry up out of here and regroup," Violet said.

"Yeah, we better go quick, Darkness may have left us alone for now, but we'll have to be ready for next time," Cole said, as the others agreed.

Just as they were turning to go, Lloyd turned back and saw that Raven was still standing with the pearl up in her hand, as she was looking up at it.

"Raven, are you coming?!" He called out and received no answer.

The others turned as well and saw Raven wasn't moving.

"Raven, are you alright?" Auria asked, with no response.

"Raven, what's the matter? We gotta go," Flare said, and still there was no response.

Then the Viporeon pearl sparked, and a lavender light emitted from the pearl very brightly. The others continued to watch in amazement, as a purple beam of some sort emerged from the Viporeon pearl and wrapped itself around Raven. Then the light started to spin around faster, and faster and faster as a 'WOOO' sound was heard. The others covered their eyes, since the light became very bright, until it bursted and faded out slowly.

When the group looked back up, they were shocked and amazed at what they saw:

Raven was standing at the top of the seventh stairs, holding the Viporeon pearl with both hands in front of her. Her eyes were closed, and she stood still for a while, as the light from her clothes stood glowing. As the glowing faded off, you could see that her clothes changed and looked similar to Lloyd's second green ninja suit, but it had purple instead of green, silver instead of gold, and black was still black. However, she wore a Purple and silver belt, as well as silver shoulder armor in a scale-shape. Her black hair was flowing in an unknown wind, as her eyes slowly opened.

Raven looked down at the others and saw their shocked expressions, which made her look down at herself and her new attire. Her eyes widened, as she looked at her new clothes and then she looked quickly at the others for answers.

"Oh... my..." -Flare

"S-she's..." -Christa

"Oh man..." -Jay

"Whoa..." -Cole

"Raven..." -Auria

"So your..." -Kai

"Raven is..." -Zane

"..." -Violet

Lloyd started walking towards Raven, almost hypnotized by her, as she started walking down the seventh staircase towards him. They stood about two feet apart, Lloyd observing Raven's new appearance, while she stood looking at him, still stunned by what just happened. The others just watched, and Ultra dragon bowed low, as the two ninja looked at each other for a moment longer.

Then Raven spoke up, "L-Lloyd..."

Then Lloyd said, "Raven. Y-Your... the Purple ninja."

After a moment, Lloyd and Raven started to smile at one another.

"I'm... the Purple ninja... I'm the Purple Ninja!" Raven yelled out in surprise and delight, as she did a spin and looked at her new purple gi once more.

"This is incredible. But then again, Raven, you did say that the Purple ninja could've been anyone on the Grim Glider," Lloyd said with a smirk, as Raven looked up at him in surprise, remembering their previous conversation.

Raven smiled and said, "Oh wow, I did say that... but I didn't expect it was me. Oh man-"

"Oh man is right!" Flare yelled out, as everyone turned towards her, while she had her arms crossed.

"Your the Purple ninja now Raven, and that means everyone is gonna be after you... especially Darkness."

After Flare finished speaking, an errie feeling rose around them.

The Jay asked, "D-Do you guys think that Darkness already knew that Raven was going to be the Purple ninja?"

Then Cole said, "Now that you mention it, Darkness already wanted to catch Raven."

"That's right, he even sent Silva to do it," Christa said.

"But how could he have known?" Auria asked.

"And why didn't he capture her before or now? He has the power to do so," Violet added, as the others pondered these questions, but to no avail.

"Well, it doesn't matter now. Raven is the Purple Ninja and she's with us. If Darkness wants to show his face again, next time we'll be ready for him," Kai said, while nudging one fist into his other hand.

"Yes that's true. Silva said that they wanted to find the Purple ninja before we did, but that part of their plan has failed. We have the advantage now," Zane said, and the others' agreed.

"Let's head back to Bounty and tell them what's up," Cole said, and everyone, even Ultra Dragon, nodded and started heading towards the exit.

Outside on the Bounty, Dareth, Garmadon, Sensei Wu, Dr. Julien, and Misako were cleaning up a little bit after their fight with Silva and her minions. They had only a few bruises and bandages after they all confronted Silva. Misako was applying Flare's healing ointment on the deeper wounds and larger bruises on the guys, as they continued fixing some minor damage. Nya walked back on deck, and her armor was damaged with burns, scratches, and dents. She wasn't harmed much, but she could feel the bruises from the blows Ryan landed on her armor. Misako walked towards Nya, and noticed that she had a sad expression.

"What's wrong Nya? Was it Ryan?" Misako asked, as Nya turned to her and replied,

"Well, it's just... I feel sorry for him. I don't think he's as evil as the others are, including Silva, but he feels he doesn't have a choice."

Misako thought about that, as she turned and looked towards Garmadon, remembering the man he used to be.

"That reminds me of him... Garmadon felt he didn't have a choice either when he was bitten by the Great Devourer, but if Ryan really isn't as evil as the others, then I'm sure he'll make the right choice soon."

"How soon?" Nya asked, as Misako turned to her, but before she could answer, another voice was heard,

"Hey guys we're back! You'll never guess what happened!" Jay called out, as the other ninja, kunoichi, and Violet walked up to the Bounty's deck, while Ultra dragon stood sittting next to the Bounty.

"Ultra dragon!" Nya said, as she walked over to the dragon and petted each of his faces.

"Ah, so you have found Ultra dragon at last," Sensei Wu said, as the others nodded.

"Yeah, he came in to the rescue just in time," Jay said.

"Yeah, he just swooped in and stood up to Darkness," Cole said, as Misako, Sensei, Garmadon, and Dr. Julien had shocked expressions on their faces.

"So Darkness came after all of you? Is everyone alright?" Garmadon asked.

"Is Raven ok?" Dr. Julien asked, as the ninja and kunoichi nodded.

"See for yourself," Flare said, as they moved to the sides to show Raven and Lloyd, as they walked up on deck since they were behind the others.

The four elders looked at Raven in relief, and then in surprise, as they realized that her clothes had changed. Nya came over, and when she saw Raven in her purple uniform, her mouth dropped open in shock. Raven just smiled shyly at their reactions.

"Raven, your..." Misako said, as she smiled and walked towards Raven, while resting her hand on her shoulder, and continued,

"Your the Purple Ninja."

Raven smiled and nodded a few times.

"Yes, I am," Raven said, as Sensei Wu, Garmadon, and Dr. Julien also smiled and nodded.

Misako took a step back so that everyone could clearly see Raven.

"Whoa... nice threads Raven," Dareth said, as he turned and saw Violet leaning on the railing of the Bounty.

Dareth immediately ran over to her with his arms up and a big smile on his face.

"My girl! Your safe!" Dareth yelled out, as he hugged Violet, which surprised her.

"Oh, um... yeah," Violet said, as she just shrugged and patted Dareth on the head.

"I'm alright, and I see you kept your word Dareth," Violet said, as Dareth took a step back and nodded.

"Yeah, Silva and her goons came, but we took care of them," Dareth said.

Violet's eyes widened, as did the other ninja and kunoichi.

"Nya, what happened to your suit? Did... Did Silva do this to you?! Where is she?! Let me at her!" Jay said in anger, as he looked around to see if he could spot the steel-eyed woman.

He was waving his sword handle around, trying to call forth his -eh hem- lightning blade. (No pun intended, it's the best way to describe his elemental weapon)

"Ah, er, yah... Uh, why isn't this thing working?! ... W-Where's my lightning?" Jay said, as he started to become more concerned about his lightning power then about Silva's whereabouts.

He looked at both of his hands, wondering why the elemental sword wasn't working, and why he felt he couldn't use his lightning powers.

"Jay, are you alright?" Nya asked, as she walked up to him in concern, but Jay just continued to ponder what was wrong with him.

"Hah, all that talk Jay. Watch, this is how you summon a weapon," Cole said, as he held up his Earth sword handle.

After a moment of waiting, Cole started to wave his weapon a little, but nothing happened. He looked more carefully at his weapon, as he started to smack it into his hand.

"What the?!" Cole yelled out, as Jay just laughed,

"Haha! You were saying Cole?"

"Shut it Jay, this is serious!" Cole yelled, and then Jay yelled back,

"Oohh, so if MY power is missing that isn't important huh? But if yours are missing-"

"Jay, please calm down, and you too Cole," Christa said, as she walked over to Cole to take a closer look at his weapon.

"It doesn't look broken... What did you do?" Christa asked, and then Cole replied,

"Nothing. I mean, we just fought with Darkness in the sanctuary, but that's about it."

Christa thought about it, but she couldn't think of anything.

Kai and Zane turned towards one another, and then they pulled out their sword handles to summon their elemental blades. However, nothing happened, the blades didn't glow or even spark. Nothing. Then they tried to summon fire and ice on the their hands, but nothing came up. The Ninja of fire and the Ninja of ice just looked towards one another in shock, as they realized they too couldn't summon their weapons.

"Hey, we can't use our elemental powers either," Kai said, as the others turned towards him and Zane, as they tried to use their elements, but to no avail.

"Hm, let me see," Sensei Wu said, as the four ninja stood before their sensei, holding out their weapons.

Sensei Wu looked over the weapons, as did Garmadon.

"Well, their weapons look fine, but..." Garmadon said.

"But what?" Kai asked, as Sensei Wu answered,

"It's not your weapons that are the problem. It is within you four that is the problem."

The four guys looked towards one another in question.

"What do you mean Sensei?" Zane asked, as Sensei Wu stroked his beard.

Then Sensei Wu asked, "Tell me, what happened when you encountered Darkness."

The Purple Ninja has been revealed. Were they who you expected?
