Everyone was amazed by the story the girls had told, although the words exchanged between Raven and Terrin weren't told, it was only said that they had an argument.

"Whooaa," the guys said simultaneously.

"Yup. Whoa," Flare said, while resting her cheek on her hand that was propped up on the table by her elbow.

"Your stories are amazing," Cole said, as he looked towards Christa and she smiled with a little blush.

"Man, you girls weren't just sitting pretty in your kingdoms. I'm impressed," Kai said, as Flare looked towards him and said,

"Yeah man. Just because we're princesses doesn't mean we're damsels in distress. It more so means that we gotta fight and protect what's ours."

Flare winked at Kai, who stiffened up a bit because he didn't know how to react.

"You've all overcomed your hardships and strife by diligence and team work. I admire such strength and unity among your group," Zane said while looking at Auria, who smiled kindly and said,

"Yes, we've learned much being together, and being with you guys as well."

Zane felt his cheeks heat up suddenly, and he wondered if his circuits needed some tending to.

"Wow, you girls are no joke, and Raven... all this time I've been trying to protect you, and you really didn't need me to. I'm sorry for underestimating you, and if I made you feel like a damsel in distress," Lloyd said to Raven, and she smiled and said,

"Oh Lloyd, you've never made me feel like that. I know you only wanted to protect me, and I'm grateful for that."

Lloyd smiled as he extended his hand across the table to Raven, who sat across from him, as she reached out and held his hand.

"Man, no wonder you girls were able to beat us before. You've been training longer than we have," Jay said sort of happily, as the kunoichi nodded towards him.

"I knew you girls have known each other for a long time, but I didn't realize how long it was," Nya said, as Flare shrugged and replied,

"Eh, we were pretty subtle about it when we first told you, so your presumption is understandable."

The room became silent as everyone's eyes were on Flare. After a moment, Flare turned to Auria and Zane with furrowed brows and said,

"Darn it Auria! Zane! I've been around you two for TOO long."

Everyone started laughing, as Auria shrugged with a smile and Zane smiled, as Flare just shook her head.

"Lucy," Reine called out from her room that she shared with Misako, Violet, and Nya.

Lucy was just walking by when she heard Reine calling her.

"Yes Sensei?" Lucy replied, as she stuck her head just passed the door into the room.

"Come in, I have something to give you," Reine said with her back towards the door, standing in front of her dresser.

Lucy walked into the room and stood before her sensei. Then Reine turned around with a bundle of clothes folded on her hands.

"What's this?" Lucy asked with her head tilted, as Reine smiled and replied,

"Since your training to be one of the ninja, then you should be dressed for the job eh."

Lucy gasped as she reached out and took the clothes from Sensei Reine, while examining them thoroughly.

"This is... so cool... thank you Sensei Reine," Lucy said gratefully, as she hugged her sensei with one arm as Reine did the same.

"Go ahead, try it on in your room," Sensei Reine said, and Lucy nodded with a big smile and hurried along to her room that she shared with the other kunoichi.

Reine just shook her head with a smile and thought, 'She's very enthusiatic. That's good, very convenient, especially during times likethis...'

Reine walked closer to her bed and sat down as she signed and thought, 'I pray all goes well for them. I feel things are not going to get easier... and I can't shake this feeling... they mustbe ready to face whatever comes next.'

In the other room, Lucy immediately locked the door since no one else was present. She changed her clothes quickly and carefully into her new suit. When she was done, Lucy walked in front of the long mirror that was in the room on the wall, which Christa had placed there when she first arrived on the Bounty. Lucy took a long look at herself in the mirror.

Her new clothes was a gi similar to the ninja and kunoichi 's old gi.(You know, before they received pure platinum weapon power, like how Christa and Raven's gi is now.) The gi had golden shoulder armor with spikes that scooped upward. The main color on the gi was cyan, and she had two sashes on her waist: one of gold, and one of blue. Lucy loved her new suit, but then she realized something.

Lucy walked over to Sensei Reine's room and knocked gently.

"Yes?" Reine asked.

"It's me sensei," Lucy replied, and Reine told her to come in.

"Wow, it fits you well Lucy," Reine said, as Lucy nodded with a smile.

"Oh I love it sensei! But my only concern is, why is it that my suit, Raven's, and Christa's look similar, and the other ninja and kunoichi look different? I mean, not that I don't appreciate this, it's wonderful, but I'm just curious," Lucy asked innocently.

Reine nodded and replied, "Yes well, they were able to receive the pure power of their elements from their Platinum weapons, so it ended up not only enhancing their abilities, but also upgrading their suits. Of course you and Christa will soon be able to receive such power, but not unless your hearts are clear from any sort of hinderance, and your minds are one with your hearts."

Lucy nodded and asked, "Oohh, I get it. What about Raven?"

Reine looked down in thought, and then she replied, "Raven is a different story, although this same principle of heart and mind holds true for her too. The thing is, she won't be able to tap fully into her powers unless you and Christa are able to tap into your own. As Raven is connected to four elements, so are you connected to Raven in that sense. She can't unlock the Silver dragon without all four of her elements being unlocked. That's why it's crucial that you learn to master using water, and that you and Christa unlock your Full Potentials."

"Full Potentials?" Lucy asked, as Reine nodded and replied,

"I shall explain to the others and you about Full Potential once we bring you to Marcell. Okay?"

Lucy smiled brightly when she heard her sister's name and said, "Oh I can't WAIT to see her again! And thank you sooo much Sensei Reine!"

Lucy bowed respectfully and Sensei Reine nodded. Then Lucy dashed out of the room swiftly, yet gracefully. Sensei Reine again just shook her head with a smile. Then she thought,

'Let's see what happens next...'

As time passed, which was a few hours (two hours), the Ninja Crew was crossing the Sea of Sand to the Lost City of Ouroboros.

After a while, the Lost City of Ouroboros was in full view, and everyone was on deck besides Terrin and Reine, who steered the Bounty.

"There it is," Kai said, as he extended his hand, pointed towards the city.

"So that's the City of Ouroboros?" Christa asked, and Kai nodded and said,

"Yeah, that's the place alright."

"It looks bigger," Jay said, observing the place where the Great Devourer was once held.

"It does doesn't it?" Cole said.

"Yes. Marcell wanted to make the city a little larger considering that the Vampires and Serpentine would be living there," Violet replied, while leaning on the railing with her arms crossed.

"Whoaa, so cool," Dareth said, leaning forward on the railing, as he looked over at the city for the first time.

"You say that now, until you become prisoners of the Serpentine," Zane said.

"Yeah, or when the Great Devourer BURST from the ground and gobbles up your Sensei!" Jay said energetically, as he leaned over to Sensei Wu and added, "No offense sensei."

Sensei Wu just nodded and said, "None taken," but when Jay looked away Sensei Wu wacked him over the head with his staff.

"Ow!" Jay said while rubbing his head.

Nya saw this and signed, as she walked towards Jay and gave him a kiss.

"Better?" she asked, as Jay turned towards her, nodded, and said,

"Much better."

Watching from the corner of her eye, Flare shrugged off their affection for one another.

"So guys," Flare said to everyone, "How are we gonna do this? There's going to be Serpentine and Vampires to deal with-"

"Leave that to us," Kai said sort of smugly.

"We got this," Jay said, as he stood next to Kai.

"We've fought the Serpentine before," Zane said, as he stood next to Jay.

"And with our new weapons, we're unstoppable," Cole said and stood next to Zane.

All four ninja brought forth their Platinum Weapons, and they ran forward and jumped off the Bounty.

"Wait-" was all Sensei Wu could say, but the ninja already jumped off, and they transformed their weapons into their revamped vehicles.

Sensei Wu just shook his head as Garmadon stood next to him near the railing.

"Fine students indeed. Always ready to fight huh?" Garmadon said with a smirk, and Sensei Wu replied,

"I was going to tell them that they didn't have to fight because we already have Lucy."

Both elders turned around to look at Lucy, who waved innocently.

"Well it's alright," Misako said, as she turned to the girls and said, "Flare, Auria, Christa, Nya. If you may assist the boys."

All four girls looked towards one another and nodded, as they ran forward and jumped off the Bounty. Nya had her new Samurai X suit on with a jet pack, and the other girls summoned their vehicles. Flare's vehicle had upgraded from the previous one:

Flare's vehicle was originally like a motorcycle with four big wheels, two in the front and two in the back, two little wheels that didn't touch the floor at the sides of the center, and two wings like an airplane that pointed back. But now that Flare's weapon was in it's true form, the vehicle received an upgrade: The wings were now in the shape of bat wings that were all black and dark grey at the tips. The wheels in the front were black and extended out a little more forward, and the back wheels were a little larger and all orange. The little wheels around the center were black with orange spikes around them. The rest of the vehicle was an oval shape that flared out on the back in black spikes, and as it went from the front tip to the back it turned from orange to grey and then to black. The cockpit was an oval shape with the front half having glass to cover the driver, and there was an extra seat in the back. Shadows were continously smoking from the wheels of the vehicle too.

"OH YEAH BABY!" Flare yelled out in delight as she drove her new revamped vehicle across the desert sand like a hot knife through butter.

"This Is The Coolest Ride in the World!" Flare yelled out once more, as she drove ahead of the girls.

"Well she's having fun isn't she?!" Christa said, as Auria and Nya nodded.

They were hovering just above the ground around the two sides of Christa's vehicle.

Back on the Bounty, Lucy was looking out towards the City of Ouroboros thinking, 'Hmmm, Marcellis in that city... wait... my sister is there. Marcell! MARCELL!'

Lucy ran forward as she stood on the railing of the Bounty.

"Lucy, what are you doing?" Raven asked.

"My Sister is THERE!" Lucy yelled out happily.

"Yeah we know Lucy, hold on, we're about to land," Lloyd said.

When the Bounty descended down in front of the entrance to Ouroboros, it was clearly seen, that the ninja were in the middle of a battle some yards away.

"Well, that escalated quickly," Garmadon said.

"I hope the girls can stop them in time," Misako said.

"I'M COMIN' SISTER!" Lucy yelled out as she jumped down from the Bounty on the desert sand below.

"Lucy!" Those who were on the Bounty yelled out.

"I must find my sister! It's been too long!" Lucy yelled back, as she ran forward into Ouroboros.

"Lloyd, Raven, accompany Lucy so that she can safely be reunited with Marcell, poste haste," Sensei Wu ordered.

Lloyd and Raven nodded towards Sensei Wu, and they jumped over the side of the Bounty. After landing on the sand, they started running ahead to catch up with Lucy.

"Wait for me, I'm coming!" Dareth said, as he looked over the railing.

"Don't worry Dare, I've got you," Violet said, and she grabbed Dareth over her shoulder and jumped over the railing.

"Wait Violet! We could just walk down the- AAHHH!" Dareth yelled out, as Violet landed on the sand perfectly.

"Oh, oh goodness gracious Violet," Dareth said, catching his breath.

"Let's go," Violet said, as she ran ahead, still holding Dareth over her shoulder.

Garmadon, Misako, Dr. Julien, and Sensei Wu, who were still on the Bounty, looked over towards one another and signed.

They finally made it to Ouroborus. But are they safe?
