At that moment, the part below Kerri's left elbow was gone, and there was crystal that immediately wrapped around the nub on her elbow, and even on the rest of her forearm and hand that was on the floor just below her. Kerri slowly descended to the ground, as did the crystal that spiraled her up. However, her attention was more on the woman who stood not too far in front of her. The Ninja crew was stunned at Kerri's arm being sliced off, but more towards the one who sliced it. The crystal that was about to encase the others had become like light-blue crystal sand that fell off of them and sunk into the ground until it was gone, as well as the crystal that binded their feet. The woman had her head down low with her black hair covering most of her face, and she was bend low to the ground in a running position with her arm held up back behind her, with a sword that had green crystal trimming on the blade. The woman slowly stood straight up, as her sword came down to her side. She lifted her head up and looked towards the Ninja crew as she saw some familiar faces, some new faces, and...

Her eyes widened when she spotted the Purple Kunoichi, as did the Purple Kunoichi's eyes to the woman. Raven began walking towards the woman, as the woman walked towards Raven. They both stood with their eyes locked, as they continued walking towards one another. Auria, Christa, and Flare were so shocked they couldn't even move, except to follow the movement of the woman towards Raven. The ninja, Garmadon, Wu, Nya, Lucy, and Violet were stunned and confused since they've never seen this woman before, but her skills were clearly exceptional. Lloyd was in shock along with Auria, Flare, and Christa because he knew who this woman was. Raven and the woman stood two feet apart examining one another. Raven stepped closer and touched the woman on her shoulder, on her head, and on her shoulder again. The woman did the same thing to Raven, as they looked at one another in shock. Then Raven studdered as she said,

"M-M... Mommy."

The others gasped, and then the woman known as Reine said,

"R-Raven."

The mother and daughter looked towards one another for a moment longer, and then tears began to form. Raven's tears poured from her eyes as her lip quivered, and then Reine's tears flowed from her eyes as she started to smile.

"M-Mama."

"Raven."

"Mama!"

"My Baby!"

Raven and Reine embraced in a tight hug, as they both cried in each other's arms.

"Mama -sniffle- your here! Your really here!" Raven said, as she buried her face in her mother's shoulder.

Reine smiled through her tears and said, "Yes my dear, I'm really here, and your here too."

The two stood for a while in their hug, as the others looked on like 'Aww' and some of them were sniffling like Lucy, Jay, and Nya.

"So beautiful," Jay said, as Zane patted his shoulder.

As Raven and Reine finally parted from their hug, they both smiled at one another, and they wiped away their tears. Reine looked at Raven down and up, and said,

"Raven... your older. But I haven't been gone so long. Did you use the Gem of Ages?"

Raven nodded and said, "Yes, but the gem was destroyed so, here I am."

Reine nodded in understanding as she looked at Raven's gi carefully, and said,

"Raven, your clothes..."

Raven nodded and said, "Yeah. Um, mom, well, we just found out that... I'm the Purple ninja."

Reine's eyes widened for a moment, and then she smiled and said,

"Hm, I figured that."

Raven was surprised, as well as the others around her.

"Wait, you knew Raven was going to be the Purple ninja?" Kai asked, and then Cole asked,

"But we just found out about this, how did you know?"

Reine looked towards them and smiled, as she said, "Research. I found out about the Purple ninja and the Green ninja a long time ago. My Sensei mentioned them to me, so I did some research and found out on my own."

The others were surprised.

"So you knew about the Green ninja and the Purple ninja from the beginning," Sensei Wu said, as Reine turned to him and nodded.

Then Reine turned and noticed her three students, who stood not too far from her. She turned to them fully and smiled as she opened her arms and said,

"What's the matter my pupils? Not even a hug for your Sensei?"

Christa was crying, Auria was crying, and even Flare shed a few tears, as the three girls ran over to their Sensei and hugged her.

"Sensei Your Back!" Christa yelled out in delight.

"Your finally here," Auria said happily.

"We're so happy to see you Sensei," Flare said with much relief and happiness.

Reine smiled at her students and hugged them and said, "It's good to be back again. You girls have really pulled through, and I can see that you've all have become much stronger."

As they parted from their hug, the girls wiped the tears from their eyes; Christa using both hands, Auria using one hand, and Flare using one arm. Reine smiled at her students and nodded, as they each put their hands together and bowed to their Sensei.

"That's right. She's their teacher," Kai said, as the guys looked at Sensei Reine and the Kunoichi.

"Man... imagine if we lost Sensei Wu for that long," Cole said, as the guys and Nya couldn't even imagine losing their sensei for as long as the girls lost theirs'.

They did lose Sensei Wu for a time when he was eaten by the Great Devourer, but not for about a year. Kai looked towards Flare, who was smiling towards her sensei, and he thought,

'I haven't seen Flare so happy. She's really smiling... she looks... really pretty when she smiles. Uhh, did I just say she's pretty?'

Kai continued to look at Flare, as he smiled.

Cole looked towards Christa, who was able to wipe away her tears finally, and thought, 'Christa... All this time you've felt sad, but you never showed it on the outside... Your always so bright and happy, and you always try to be strong for others... I guess I'm not the only one huh?'

Cole smiled at Christa, as she continued to look towards Sensei Reine.

Zane looked towards Auria, as she was able to straighten up, although she still had a smile on her face, and he thought,

'Auria's emotions have become more transparent ever since she gained her lost memory back. Her eyes have changed a little as well. They appear as thoughthey areglowing. I wonder... although she usually keeps to herself, I wonder if she will be more open... to me.'

Zane smiled curiously at Auria.

Lloyd turned towards where Raven was, and he walked towards her after Sensei Reine turned her attention to her students. He saw that Raven was smiling at her mother and friends as they finally reunited, and that made him feel content seeing Raven's happiness. He noticed that Raven still had some tears on her face, and he started to wipe them away gently with his hand. Raven stood still, and after Lloyd finished, she smiled at him and he smiled back.

Jay, who stood standing close to Nya, brought his hand close to Nya's and held it, as she turned towards him. Jay smiled at Nya, as she smiled back.

"How... interesting..." Kerri said, which made everyone look towards her.

Their eyes widened, and some of them like Jay, Kai, Cole, Christa, and Lucy, were gagging. Kerri had picked up her sliced limb from the floor, as she examined it. Sensei Reine stepped in front of her students with a serious expression as she looked towards Kerri. The others stood back, and Kerri continued speaking,

"I find it to be astonishing that you were able to break out of the crystal seal. Though I shouldn't be too surprised, since it's you Reine."

Reine nodded and said, "Mmhm."

Then Kerri pointed with her detached arm to Reine and said, with a nonchalant expression,

"My only question is, how did you escape?"

Reine, unphased by Kerri's detached limb, answered,

"My husband told me that he had found a way to help free me from the prison, and that he had help from one he refered to as Dr. Julien."

Zane's attention was immediately grabbed, as he looked around and noticed that his father wasn't present. Kerri then lowered her limb and said,

"Huh, how nice, and how inconvenient. Although it doesn't make a difference if you are free now. Chaos has spread throughout the lands since you've been gone. The only one who has been able to bring the lands and people together was Silva, although she has pretty... dark means of persuasion. Something we have in common. And Darkness being in the picture has truly set everything in stone, if you catch my drift."

"Kerri," Reine said, with a nonchalant expression and a little anger and curiousity, as she continued,

"Why did you seal me in the first place? And don't say it was for what happened to you at the school because I told you already that Sensei wanted to promote you to Sensei level and make me a Sou-Sensei, but because of your mistake, which you admitted to me in the library, you lost everything you had. So TELL ME THE TRUTH Kerri."

The others gasped as they looked towards one another. Kerri closed her eyes and smirked, as she moved her missing limb towards her nub on her left arm.

"You caught on Reine. You must have heard me speaking to these fools before... Okay then, I'll tell you the truth... it definantly was my fault that I tried to get rid of you to hold my position, which led to my downfall. I already recognized that, but that wasn't the reason I sealed you. You see, you have such a way with words that all the other villages, like Pulverize Peak town, wanted to hear you out, and they wanted to try to get along and sign a treaty for unity. So, instead of letting you help the villages, I sealed you with the crystal technique so that it would cause more division among the people... but Silva had another idea. By taking over each village, since they wouldn't protect one another, she used them to build an army of evil minions, as you can see."

Kerri gestured with her head towards the crowd of people, who were unconscious since the Ninja Crew took them down. The Ninja Crew looked at the crowd of people, and they felt kind of bad for hurting them.

"They were just... innocent people," Nya said sadly.

"Some were innocent, others weren't, but that doesn't really matter now does it," Kerri said with a smirk, as she held her cut off limb closer to her left arm nub and continued,

"With Darkness in play, all of this will be worth it. You fools can't stop him now. Not even you two."

Kerri refered to Lloyd and Raven, who looked at her with furrowed brows.

"Why are you helping him Kerri? Besides you being insane, what are you getting out of this?" Reine asked calmly, and Kerri just smiled and said,

"Doom and gloom. I just can't get enough of it!"

Kerri had an evil grin on her face, as she used her crystal power on her severed arm and was able to use the crystal to bandage her arm together. The others looked on curiously, and then they were shocked when Kerri was able to move her used-to-be severed limb again.

"Hm, so you've gotten better with the crystal have you?" Reine asked, as Kerri looked at her with the same dark grin and said,

"Yes my friend, I have. Let's see if you can beat me NOW!"

Kerri summoned crystal from the ground and stood up with her crystal spiral again. Reine signed, and then she smirked and said,

"Bring it on."

Raven's mother, Queen Reine, is on the battlefield... let the battle commence!
