Ninja:

Cole:

"Ugh... What just happened?" Cole said, as he was picking himself up from off the ground.

He looked around to see that he was surrounded by dark clouds of black and purple.

"What the? What's going on? Christa... Christa! Where are you?!" Cole called out, as he spun around a few times to look for the Yellow kunoichi.

"Heh heh heh heh. What's wrong Black ninja? Can't find your lovely Yellow kunoichi?" A dark voice asked from the darkness around Cole, as he looked around to find the source.

Then Cole held out his Platinum Scythe and asked, "Who are you? Where are you? Show yourself!"

"Ha ha ha ha! Are you getting scared? Does your spine quiver in fear? Are you losing your balance?" A familiar voice taunted, and then a shadow tripped Cole onto his face.

"AH! What are you talking about?! I'm not afraid of you, Darkness!" Cole yelled out, as he tried to stand up with his scythe.

"Oh please. You don't even know what fear is. Let me introduce you to your fears!" Darkness said from the shadows.

Then the ground under Cole's feet began to rumble, and it became soft like mud. Cole tried to get away from the mud, but the mud grabbed his feet and held him to the ground.

"What the?" Cole said, as he tried to pull his feet up.

Then Cole started to look around when he heard different voices calling his name.

"Wait... guys... Guys?! Is that you?" Cole asked when he recognized the voices.

"Cole!" -Kai

"Help us!" -Raven

"Please!" -Auria

"Save us Cole!" -Flare

"Where are you?!" -Zane

"HELP!" -Jay

"GUYS! Where are you?! I can't see you!" Cole yelled out, as he struggled to get out of the mud, but to no avail.

"Cole!" Sensei Garmadon

"Where are you?!" -Misako

"Where did you go?!" -Sensei Wu

"Why did you leave us?!" -Jay

"Why are you letting us down?!" -Nya

"Why can't you save us?!" -Lucy

"WAIT! GUYS! I'm right here!" Cole shouted to the shifting darkness around him.

"Why you left us Cole?!" -Lloyd

"Save ME!" -Raven

"LLOYD! RAVEN! I'm here! I'M HERE!" Cole shouted in distress, as he used his platinum scythe to cut the mud off of his feet.

Then Cole started running towards where the voices were coming from and shouted,

"I'm coming guys! I'M COMING!"

"Save ME! HELP!" -Raven

"COLE! HELP US!" -Lloyd

"SAVE ME!" -Raven

"NOO!" -Lloyd

The shadows around Cole were rumbling and thundering, as he ran with all of his might to where he was hearing the voices. Then he saw a dim light, as he ran towards it, but right before he made it, the shadows tripped him again. He fell face-forward, and then he quickly tried to get up, but the mud returned and it held Cole down on his hands and knees.

"UH! GET OFF!" Cole shouted, as he struggled against the mud, but it was too strong.

Then Cole looked up when he heard sniffles. His eyes widened in shock and agony, as he saw Lloyd on his knees, while Raven laid motionless in his arms. Tears flowed from Lloyd's eyes, as he held onto Raven's motionless form and cried. They were both covered in mud stains, scratches, and bruises.

"No... No. This can't be..." Cole said in an almost whisper.

Then Lloyd looked up at him, and said with anger,

"YOU! It's your FAULT! You didn't come! It's YOUR FAULT!"

"No. I couldn't I-I... th-the mud and Darkness and..." Cole said in a shaken voice.

"Excuses. Your full of excuses!" Kai's voice was heard from the shadows, as he stepped outside of them.

"Kai!" Cole said, and then the other ninja and kunoichi stepped out from the shadows, with grim and angry looks on their faces.

"Guys! Help me. Darkness is doing something! Let me help!" Cole said.

"LET YOU HELP?! Your the reason that she's GONE!" Flare shouted at Cole, as she pointed to Raven's still form.

"N-No. NO! This isn't right! This isn't right!" Cole shouted, as his body started to tremble.

"You were supposed to be our leader! Why didn't you LEAD US!" Jay shouted at him.

"NO! I'm here! This can't be real, IT CAN'T BE!" Cole shouted out, as his heart pounded in his chest.

"It's your fault... She's gone because of you..." A nicer but mellow voice said, as Cole looked just passed Lloyd and Raven, and he saw Christa, with a grim expression.

"Christa please! You know I wouldn't have let this happen! I would've saved her! I would have saved ALL OF YOU!" Cole said, as tears gathered around his eyes.

Then Christa said, "I thought I could trust you... I thought you were strong... but... but you left us... and now she's GONE!"

Christa fell on her knees and started to cry, while the other ninja and kunoichi looked at Cole with disdain and malice, as they started walking towards him.

"PLEASE LISTEN TO ME CHRISTA! GUYS PLEASE!" Cole screamed out, as his tears began to fall one by one.

"You betrayed us. You don't deserve to talk to her... or to speak to any of us!" Lloyd said, as he gently placed Raven on the ground, and then he started walking towards Cole.

"No..." Cole said, as the ninja and kunoichi surrounded him.

"Shut your mouth!" Lloyd yelled out, as his eyes turned red, as well as the others with him.

Then the ninja and kunoichi began to punch, kick, and smack Cole around, as he screamed out for them to stop. He looked passed them and saw that Raven was still motionless on the ground, and that Christa was crying next to her.

"AAAHHHHH!" Cole screamed out in pure agony and pain, as a laughter was heard from beyond the crowd.

The shadow of Darkness, which looks like him but with shadow mist as feet, laughed as he watched Cole's suffering.

Christa:

Christa was looking around the shadows for Cole. She was worried about him, and she kept searching and calling his name. Then she heard a laughing in the shadows, and she saw a shadow of Darkness with his hands on the back of his head, laying back as if he was on a hamick.

"Darkness! What are you doing here?" Christa asked in a fierce tone, as she readied her Platinum gauntlets to fight.

"Woah woah! Calm down Princess Christa. There's no need to rush. Don't fall off the edge like your sister did," Darkness said casually, as Christa's eyes widened and she gasped.

"How... How DARE YOU!" Christa yelled out, as she clapped her gauntlets together and a sound wave shot out towards Shadow Darkness, and he disappeared right before contact.

Then Shadow Darkness reappeared and said, "Oh dear lady, forgive me for being too rude. I should be more considerate... oh wait, I don't have to be. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

Christa pouted and said, "Your such an inconsiderate jerk!"

Shadow Darkness looked at Christa with a dashing smile and said, "Yes, yes I am. That's why I'm going to do this."

Shadow Darkness pointed towards the ground in front of Christa, and a shadow rose up from the ground. It's eyes were glowing yellow, while the rest of it's form was a combination of gray and black.

"What the-AH!" Christa said in surprise, as she realized that the shadow was a shadow version of herself.

"You've always felt guilt for what happened to your sister, until recently unfortunately. But, I can sense some guilt in you: like for letting Raven get captured, for not anticipating my plan of capturing her sooner, and even the predicament you and your allies are in now. You feel that you should be strong enough to take care of everyone, especially since it is in your nature to help others in need," Shadow Darkness said, and then he teleported behind her.

"But when you fail to help someone, it hurts to see that person hurt, and it hurts more to know that you couldn't help them... almost like how you couldn't save your sister," Shadow Darkness said, as he placed his hand on Christa's shoulder.

Then Christa spun around to punch Shadow Darkness, as he disappeared again.

"I know that I couldn't save Auria, and I know that it wasn't my fault. I was only a child, I wouldn't have known what to do, and Auria saved me because she cares. Auria's sacrifice is what made me want to help other people even more, and even from that terrible situation, good still came out of it for all of us!" Christa said, as she looked towards her shadow when the shadow took a step towards her.

"Heh heh heh heh heh. Such powerful words... but can you back them up?" Shadow Darkness asked from the shadows, and then Shadow Christa slipped on a dark version of the Platinum gauntlets.

Then Shadow Christa ran towards Christa, ready to punch, as Christa ran towards her.

"Bring it!" Christa shouted.

Some minutes later:

"AAH!" Christa screamed out, as she went flying into a shadow wall that came out of nowhere.

She laid on the ground for a moment, as she tried to get up.

During her fight with her shadow, at first, they weren't landing any hits on one another, but then Christa landed an upper-cut on her shadow. However, when Shadow Christa was in the air and Christa jumped above her, Shadow Christa spun around and grabbed Christa's leg. Then Shadow Christa pulled Christa downward so that she was below her, and then she used a sound wave punch to hit Christa downward. Yet, before Christa could hit the ground, Shadow Christa appeared below her and raised her fist upward. Christa landed, stomach-side down, on Shadow Christa's fist, as she gasped from the impact and pain of landing. Shadow Christa quickly stepped back, and before Christa could fall towards the ground, she jumped up and kicked Christa away with a sound-enhanced kick. Christa went flying into the shadow wall and landed on the ground.

"Well, I guess holding to your previous words is proving too difficult for you," Shadow Darkness said, as he stood sitting on the gray shadow wall while looking down at Christa.

Christa tried to get up, but the pain from the strike to the stomach was immense, and she fell back on the ground.

"Aww... poor, dear princess. You don't have the strength to stand against yourself? Maybe it's because you know that, deep down, your a failure," Shadow Darkness said in an almost whisper, with a smirk.

Christa stood on her elbows, as she thought about what Shadow Darkness had just said. Then she shook her head and said,

"No. Your... Your wrong. I'm n-not a failure..."

"Are you sure about that? Because from the looks of things, your the one who's on the ground, and she isn't finished yet," Shadow Darkness said, as he looked up at Shadow Christa.

Christa also looked up at her shadow self, and then her eyes widened when she saw the ninja and kunoichi standing behind Shadow Christa.

"G-Guys?" Christa asked, and then Shadow Christa started approaching her with her gauntlets faced up.

Christa's eyes changed from surprise to shock when she saw that the other ninja and kunoichi were changing into shadow versions of themselves, with glowing red eyes.

"Your alone Christa. There's no one to save you this time. Your all ALONE!" Shadow Darkness said, as he started to laugh.

Christa heard the other ninja and kunoichi laughing with Shadow Darkness, as Shadow Christa continued walking towards her with a more devious expression and glowing gauntlets.

"You... can't... escape... yourSELF!" Shadow Christa said, as she stood before Christa, ready to attack.

"N-No..." Christa said, as tears started streaming down her cheeks.
