About half an hour later, Outside of Ninjago City:

"Are they coming back soon?" Sensei Reine asked her husband, as they stood on a sand hill with the Verpentine and Vampires just below them, waiting for the Ninja to come back.

"I'm sure they will come, but they need to get here soon. We have more problems to deal with," King Terrin replied to his wife, as he held his black cellphone in his hand.

"When are they coming? We have trouble brewing in my kingdom and I DON'T LIKE IT!" A voice on the phone said, as Terrin and Reine looked at the cell phone in Terrin's hand.

"We know Malentha. We'll make sure to send some of the Serpentine and Viporeons to help you," Sensei Reine said over the phone to Malentha.

"Well they better hurry. I didn't want to leave Arun alone there, but you said you may need my help," Malentha said over the phone.

Then Terrin looked towards Ninjago city, and he noticed the Bounty coming their way.

"It looks like the Bounty is coming, send the troops now," Terrin told Reine, and she nodded.

"Go for it," Reine said, as she turned towards Marcell, who stood near the armies.

"Okay, group Serpentine and Viporeans go! Violet, Dareth, go lead them!" Marcell said, as they all nodded.

"Yes! Time to fight some bad guys," Dareth said, as he turned towards the selected group of Serpentine and Viporeons.

"Let's move!" Violet said, as she jumped on an aerocycle that Dr. Julien was able to quickly construct with extra parts left behind by the Bounty so that it could travel quicker through the city, with Dareth sitting behind her.

As Violet and Dareth drove towards Volcanic Kingdom, the selected group of Verpentine traveled behind them.

"Okay, I'll be there soon," Malentha said over the phone, and then she hung up.

The Bounty finally came to a stop on the sand near the remaining Verpentine, Vampires, and their leaders, as the ramp was laid out on the sand to the deck.

"You guys finally made it?" Terrin asked, noticing that the Ninja weren't on the Bounty.

"We took care of what we needed to, but I am surprised that the Ninja haven't made it back," Sensei Wu said, as he walked down the ramp with Sensei Garmadon.

"I'm worried about them, even if they could handle themselves... no one is prepared to face Darkness," Sensei Garmadon said.

Then Misako and Silva came into view, but they stood near the top of the ramp. One of Silva's arms was in an arm sling, while the other was wrapped in bandages.

"Silva!" Marcell said, as she looked at her former boss in surprise.

"Yes hello Marcell. Nice to see that your alive and well," Silva said, with a sheepish smile, considering that she knew Marcell would probably be angry with her since she threatened her sister.

"What are you doing here? What is she doing here?" Marcell asked in confusion.

"She saved our lives, and she's willing to help us," Misako replied.

"Yes. She helped us navigate out of the city without unwanted attention," Sensei Wu said.

"Hm... Fine then," Marcell said, although still wary of Silva.

"I see three other groups coming our way!" Dr. Julien said, as he just looked towards Ninjago city with his hand just above his eyes.

Everyone near the Bounty looked towards Ninjago city, and they saw three groups coming their way, two driving really fast.

"They ran into trouble," Sensei Reine speculated.

"How can you tell?" Dr. Julien asked her.

"Not all of them are using their Platinum vehicles," Sensei Reine replied.

The first group arrived next to the Bounty, as they quickly canceled their vehicles. Zane and Christa stood carrying Auria and Cole, as Auria was almost unconscious and Cole was already out cold. Many of the Vampires and Verpentine gasped in surprise, as well as everyone else, besides Terrin, Garmadon, Wu, and Silva, who's eyes widened in surprise.

"What happened?" Dr. Julien asked, as he stood in front of his son, although he was looking between him, Auria, Christa, and Cole.

"She risk her life to save us, and Cole overused his Full Potential," Zane replied, trying to remain calm so that he could clearly explain the situation.

"Oh my! They need medical attention at once," Dr. Julien said, as he gestured towards the Bounty.

Sensei Reine stood in front of Auria, with sadness in her eyes, and then she looked towards Cole with the same expression. Then Sensei Reine turned towards the Viporeon leaders who stood behind, and said in a more calm and commanding voice,

"Fajra. Vena. Prepare the rooms for patients and one for emergency surgery! Serpana. Take Cole and set him up on an IV with Wolf Tear's water. Anaca. Carrie. Come with me with Auria!"

The five Viporeons nodded, as they immediately went to work.

"But didn't Lloyd break the vial that Nya had?" Dr. Julien asked.

"I heard about that, but Flare brought extra Wolf Tear's water in her suitcase," Sensei Reine replied.

"Come guyssss. Help ussss set the roomsss," Vena said to the four generals of the Serpentine.

"Let'ssss get to work then," Skales said, and the three generals nodded, as they followed Vena and Fajra up into the Bounty.

"Come. Zane. Christa," Sensei Reine said, as she lead them up into the Bounty, with the two patients in their arms.

Sensei Wu looked at his students with worry, especially towards Zane and Cole, as they passed him.

"Don't worry brother. They're in capable hands," Sensei Garmadon said, and Sensei Wu nodded slowly.

"There's Flare and Jay! They made it!" Misako called out, since she was on the Bounty's deck with Silva, as they looked out.

"Where's Kai and Nya?" Sensei Wu asked.

Then Flare pulled over with Jay's vehicle in tow, as their vehicles returned to weapons. Jay stood sitting on the ground with Nya in his arms, and Flare stood holding onto Kai so that he wouldn't fall.

"What happened?" Terrin asked, as he stood before the injured group.

"The lizarians surrounded us, and then a larger one came and tried to take us out," Flare said.

"Yeah, and Nya is really hurt, and Kai's arms are probably broken. I can't move my leg and my arm is out of control, but Flare was able to take out the lizarians with her shadows," Jay said quickly.

Terrin knelt down in front of Nya and Jay, as he placed each of his hands on their hands.

"You've both been bitten by something, correct?" Terrin asked.

"Yeah. Well I know that I was bitten by two of them, a green lizarian and a yellow one, but I'm not sure about Nya," Jay said, as he looked down at Nya.

Terrin looked near Nya's back leg, and when he moved her pant's leg up to her knee, a purple bite mark was present.

"-Gasp- She was bitten too!" Jay exclaimed.

"Your both poisoned. Your poison will eventually wear off, but not her's," Terrin said to Jay.

"Wh-What do you mean?" Jay asked.

"The poison injected in Nya is much more severe than your's. In other words, it's a deadly poison that will consume it's victim in about four hours," Terrin replied.

"WHAT?! CONSUMED! Sh-She will... She will..." Jay said in shock and fear of what Terrin was going to say.

"Yes, she will die," Terrin said.

Jay eyes widened, as his eyes began to water.

"N-No... Not N-Nya... N-Not my Nya..." Jay stuttered, as one tear streamed down his face.

"Ouch!" Jay yelled when his hand slapped him over the head.

"Marcell, can you help Jay and Nya inside the Bounty?" Terrin asked Marcell.

"Sure. Guys, help them inside!" Marcell said, pointing to Andrex, Stephen, and Bronze.

"We'll take care of them Marcell," Andrex said, as the four went towards Jay and Nya.

Bronze picked up Nya, while Andrex and Stephen lifted Jay by each side of him, as they carried them into the Bounty.

Before Terrin walked onto the Bounty's ramp, he sensed a familiar presence, which made him immediately turn towards Ninjago City. Another vehicle was heading their way, as it came to a stop next to the Bounty.

"That took a while," Lucy said, and then she reverted her vehicle back into a weapon as she, Lloyd, and Raven stood together on the ground.

"They made it," Marcell said, as the remaining Vampires cheered to see that princess Lucy was okay, as well as the Green ninja and Purple kunoichi.

"Son, your safe," Sensei Garmadon said, as he quickly walked over to his son.

"Dad," Lloyd said, as he gave his dad a hug.

"Lloyd!" Misako said, as she ran down the ramp to hug her son.

"Hey mom," Lloyd said, as he hugged his mother.

"You've all returned, and you've brought Raven back, well done," Sensei Wu said, as he walked over to them and nodded.

Then Terrin walked over and stood before Raven, as they both locked eyes with one another.

"Raven," Terrin said.

"Daddy," Raven said, as her eyes began to water.

Then Raven ran into her father's arms, as he held her in a tight hug.

"Your safe my little sssnakelet. Your safe," Terrin said, as he stroked Raven's hair.

"Oh papa, I'm so happy to be back with all of you again," Raven said, as some tears came down her cheeks.

Then Terrin looked up at Lloyd, and he nodded in approval, as Lloyd nodded back.

"Nice to see that you guys are alive and well," Silva said, as she was making her way down the ramp.

"Silva," Lloyd said in surprise, and Raven and Terrin broke their hug.

"Hello Lloyd, Lucy, and... Raven," Silva said, as she started walking towards Raven.

Then, when Silva stood in front of Raven, she placed her wrapped hand gently on her shoulder, with a guilty expression and said,

"I'm sorry, for everything. I shouldn't have helped Darkness cause this whole mess."

Raven saw Silva's sincerity, and she placed her hand gently on Silva's and said,

"Thank you for your apology Silva, and I do accept it."

Silva was confused and asked, "What? So quick? That doesn't make sense."

Then Raven said, "Well Lloyd told me that he was traveling with Ryan, and that Ryan said that you weren't always bad, and that you thought being bad was right thing to do, especially in your case. I understand."

Silva's eyes widened in surprise, but then she snickered and said, "He trusted you enough to tell you huh... Okay. Then I know I made the right choice to help you guys."

Raven smiled and nodded, as Silva took her hand back. Then Silva asked,

"Of course, I think you guys need my help more than ever. Where is my son anyway?"

Raven, Lloyd, and Lucy looked towards one another, and then they glanced towards Ninjago city sadly. Silva was able to get the hint, and she gasped.

"What... What is he doing?" Silva asked, worried.

"He helped us escape by distracting Darkness," Lloyd said, as he looked down sadly.

Silva placed her hand on her heart, as she looked down sadly. Then she breathed in and out slowly, as she gained her composure and said,

"I trust my son. If he was willing to do that to save all of you, then I won't let his decision be in vain."

Then they heard the rumbling of an engine, as a black aerocycle landed on the Bounty.

"Good, she's here," Terrin said, as he ran up the ramp.

Everyone else followed as well onto the Bounty's deck.

"Get this ship moving!" Marcell told the vampires, and they immediately ran into the Bounty to prepare it for travel.

"Alright. What the freak is going on here?!" Malentha said, as she jumped off her aerocycle.

Malentha wore a long-sleeved leather jacket, with an orange shirt inside, and black pants with multiple pockets all around them, and black shoes, as her orange hair was loose and free to her waist.

"Miss Malentha! What are you doing here?" Raven asked in surprise.

"Your mother called. She said you guys may need my help, like my kingdom," Malentha replied.

"What do mean?" Raven asked.

"Those black lizard things were approaching Volcanic Kingdom, and at the same time, Reine called me and said that she may need my help. I told her those lizards were approaching my kingdom, and Reine said that she would send an army of Serpentine and Viporeons to help. Although I was in a temporary stupor to hear that the Serpentine and Viporeons were working together, I agreed to come as long as if she sent her army. Arun also encouraged me to go ahead, and that Volcanic Kingdom was indeed his kingdom to protect. I conceded and left. That's why I'm here," Malentha replied pretty quickly.

"Come Malentha. Reine needs help with Auria, and you did help in Auria's first surgery," Terrin said, as he gestured for Malentha to follow him.

"Auria?" Raven asked in surprise, but her father didn't answer her since they had to hurry.

Malentha nodded, as she followed Terrin into the Bounty.

"What happened to Auria?" Raven asked.

"And where are the others?" Lloyd asked.

The Bounty began to lift up, as it turned away from Ninjago city, and started it's journey across the desert.

"You three just came. There's a lot to talk about. Come," Sensei Garmadon said, as he started walking towards the Bounty deck's upper floor to the dining room, and everyone else followed, including Lucy, Raven, and Lloyd.
