Sensei Garmadon:
Outside of the shadow bubble, Sensei Wu and Misako were very worried about Sensei Garmadon. After he broke the machine, the shadow bubble wrapped itself around him, and then it expanded to a size that rivaled the Bounty. Misako stood on the Bounty, which they were able to sneak in after the security system was turned off, and she was looking for an opening on top of the shadow bubble. Sensei Wu stood in front of the shadow bubble, trying to find a way to get inside.
"Do you see an opening Misako?!" Sensei Wu called out.
"I don't see any opening. It's all shadows!" Misako called back.
"Hahahahahahaha!" A sinister laughter coming from the shadow bubble startled Sensei Wu and Misako.
"Oh you old fools... it's odd really... you act like you care about him. Of course, I expect that from you Misako... but not from Wu. I wouldn't be surprised if he flashed a smile knowing that his brother was out of the picture..." the voice coming from the shadow bubble became louder as a shadow version of Darkness emerged from it, yet he stood only halfway outside of it.
Misako gasped in surprise, as Sensei Wu looked at Shadow Darkness in confusion.
"What? I would never wish for my brother's demise. You are mad," Sensei Wu said.
"Oh, am I Sensei Wu? As I recall, you seemed upset when your brother was found alive after first defeating the Overlord, and I know you still have feelings for Misako," Shadow Darkness said with a smirk.
"How... how do you know this?" Sensei Wu asked, with some confusion.
"I know a lot of things about all of you. Some I've heard, other things I've seen from underground... but enough about me. Your the one who wants his brother out of the way so that you can keep Misako for yourself. And your supposed to be the good brother. Tsk," Shadow Darkness said, as he crossed his arms and shook his head.
Sensei Wu looked at Shadow Darkness in surprise, as well as Misako.
"Face it Wu, your a silent backstabber to your own brother," Shadow Darkness said, as he chuckled.
Sensei Wu stood silent for a while, as Misako looked down at him to see how he would respond. Then Sensei Wu breathed in and out, as he looked up at Shadow Darkness, and said,
"Your right."
Misako gasped a little, as she placed her hand on her mouth. Shadow Darkness smirked darkly.
Then Sensei Wu continued, "I have always had feelings for Misako, and even after my brother and Misako were married, I still held onto my feelings for her, which explains why I have been alone this whole time. I had also given up certain hope of my brother returning to good that I... wanted to move forward..."
Sensei Wu gripped his staff tighter, as he looked at Shadow Darkness with a new light in his eyes that made Shadow Darkness arch an eyebrow. Then Sensei Wu said,
"I should have never have lost hope that my brother would return to us, and... I've held onto these feelings for her for so long... when I should have let them go the day she said "I do" to him..."
Sensei Wu placed his hand over his heart, as he felt a weight lifted, and then he stood in a fighting stance with his staff and said,
"I lost my brother once, but I will NOT lose him again! Especially not to YOU!"
Sensei Wu ran straight into the shadow bubble, as he used spinjitzu and broke inside.
"You won't make it!" Shadow Darkness said, as he followed after Sensei Wu.
"Please bring him back! And be careful!" Misako yelled out after Sensei Wu.
Within the shadow bubble, Sensei Garmadon was being pulled downward into a dark abyss of bitterness, as he strive to climb upward to freedom.
"It's too late Garmadon. They probably left without you. He doesn't care. He's not a real brother," Shadow Darkness said from the shadows surrounding Sensei Garmadon.
"No... no... I can't believe that," Sensei Garmadon said, while still struggling to climb upward.
"It's no use Garmadon. It's too late. You know that," Shadow Darkness said, with a chuckle.
"No... no..." Sensei Garmadon said, as he felt his grip loosening each second.
"Brother!" A familiar voice called, as Sensei Garmadon looked upward and listened intently.
"Brother?" Sensei Garmadon asked, as he heard rapid footsteps.
Then he saw Sensei Wu appear above him, while Wu looked down at Garmadon in worry. Sensei Wu reached downward for Sensei Garmadon's hand, as he reached back.
"Just a little further," Sensei Wu said.
"What's the point Wu? You only care for Misako. She is the reason why you would help me..." Sensei Garmadon said, as he could feel the shadows that were pulling him downward grow stronger.
"No. You are my brother. My family. I'm here because I want to save you. I should have let go of my feelings for her a long time ago, and for that I am sorry," Sensei Wu said, as he reached lower for Garmadon.
Then Sensei Garmadon said, "I'm sorry too brother. For everything I've done wrong to you... and for believing in Darkness' lies for that moment."
"He DOESN'T CARE GARMADON! He DOESN'T!" Shadow Darkness shouted from the shadows.
"If I didn't care, then why am I here?!" Sensei Wu shouted back.
Then both brothers finally grabbed each others' hand.
"Shall we break out of here together?" Sensei Wu asked with a smile.
"Yes. Let's get out together," Sensei Garmadon replied while smiling back.
"This doesn't make sense!" Shadow Darkness said with anger in his voice.
"NINJAGOOOOO!" Wu and Garmadon shouted, as they used spinjitzu together to create a larger tornado of gold and purple.
As they moved towards where Wu jumped in from, the shadows that tried to grab them were cut and smacked away, which made them disintegrate. When they moved through the shadow wall of the bubble, they were able to make it through easily since the shadows couldn't contain or even touch them without disintegrating.
Misako watched in worry, but then she gasped with joy when she saw a tornado of gold and purple breaking out of the shadow bubble. She ran down the ramp of the Bounty, and then she stood a few feet from the whirling tornado. After a while, the tornado came to a stop, as Garmadon and Wu stood together, while they were holding each others' forearms since holding hands wouldn't have kept them stable for long.
"You made it out," Misako said with happiness and a smile to match.
Wu and Garmadon released each others' arms, as they turned to Misako. Garmadon almost fell back onto the ground when Misako nearly dove at him, as she hugged him tightly. Although surprised momentarily by her sudden movement, Garmadon smiled wholeheartedly as he hugged her back.
"Sorry for worrying you," Garmadon said, as they parted but still held hands.
"As long as your alright now, that's all that matters," Misako said, and then she turned to Wu and said, "Thank you for saving him."
"Your welcome. I'm glad your both together again," Sensei Wu said with a smile and nod, as Sensei Garmadon and Misako nodded back.
"How..." A voice said, as Sensei Garmadon, Sensei Wu, and Misako immediately turned towards where the voice was coming from.
In place of the shadow bubble stood Shadow Darkness with his fist shaking, and shadows pulsing around him, as if he was forcing himself to stay in place when he should have faded away. He looked at the three elders with glowing red eyes of frustration, and spoke with a corrupted and dark voice, saying,
"How could you forgive? They betrayed you... I don't understand... You Fools!"
Shadow Darkness shot a thin dark beam at them, as Sensei Wu pushed Sensei Garmadon, who push Misako, out of the way. The beam burned a hole in the ground, but no one else was injured.
"Darkness, why are you still here?" Sensei Garmadon asked, as he helped Misako and Sensei Wu stand up.
Then Misako walked in front of Sensei Garmadon and Sensei Wu, and asked,
"Darkness, if that is who you are portraying... may I ask you something?"
Shadow Darkness looked at Misako silently, letting the silence be his response to her question. Then, with a calm determination, Misako asked,
"Who betrayed you that you would attack us like this?"
Shadow Darkness' eyes widened by her question, but then they closed to slits, as the red of his eyes grew dark and furious with remembrance. Misako, Sensei Garmadon, and Sensei Wu took a few steps back, as Shadow Darkness' hands began to pulse and glow with a dangerous red and black light.
"Everyone," Shadow Darkness replied with venom and a hint of death in voice, as he shot a larger, high-powered beam at them.
Sensei Garmadon grabbed Misako and turned his back towards the beam, as Sensei Wu held onto Sensei Garmadon and Misako. They closed their eyes for impact, since the beam was too quick to run from, but the impact never hit them. They heard a heavy thud and a furious scream, as the sound of the beam seemed to rise upward.
When they turned around, they gasped to see Silva standing in front of them with her fists upward together, as the high-powered beam went upward and slowly disappeared.
"Silva!" Misako called out, as she ran over to her old friend.
Silva slowly lowered her arms, as she panted and turned towards Misako, and said,
"Hey old friend. It's been awhile. It looked like you needed some help."
Misako stood before Silva, and then she held onto Silva's arm right before she hit the ground.
"Silva, your injured," Misako said, as she saw burn marks and cuts on Silva's hands and forearm, as the sleeves of her shirt that reached her forearm was torn and burned.
"Eh, it's alright. But that shadow used a lot of power in that attack. He basically destroyed himself," Silva said.
Misako, Sensei Garmadon, and Sensei Wu turned towards where Shadow Darkness was, but he was no longer there.
"He really used all of his strength to destroy us," Sensei Garmadon said, with surprise in his voice.
"Your question must have really hit a nerve, Misako," Sensei Wu said, as Misako looked down to think about it.
"Yeah. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but apparently your words slapped him across the face," Silva said with a small smile, although she winced when she felt pain pulsing in her hands.
"Come on. Let's get out of here before the real Darkness shows up. I'll treat your wounds Silva," Misako said.
"Should we trust you to come aboard Silva?" Sensei Garmadon asked Silva.
"Considering that my hands are damaged, and that my son has decided to help you people, I won't be any trouble," Silva replied.
Although momentarily stunned, Sensei Garmadon, Sensei Wu, and Misako were able to shake it off, as they helped Silva on board the Bounty so that they could leave as soon as possible.
