Lloyd felt as though his heart stopped beating, as the whole world became silent. He looked at Time Sensei with widened eyes, as he slowly stepped away from her and released her shoulders. He slowly started shaking his head, as he said,

"No. Th-That can't be... she can't... die? That can't be Time Sensei."

Then Time Sensei said, "It is Lloyd. I saw it. Why do you think I knew your name already?"

Lloyd gasped, as he slowly moved his hand towards his heart, since it felt as if someone was grabbing at both sides and trying to rip it apart. He started shaking his head a little quicker, as he felt water accumulating on the corners of his eyes, and his mouth became dry.

"No Time Sensei. No! NO! She can't die! She CAN'T! I won't let her turn evil! I won't let her die! Either way I'm losing my Raven! I can't lose her! And I promised to always protect her for her parents! For our friends! I won't lose her!" Lloyd said as he fell on his knees before Time Sensei.

He added, while tears were beginning to stream down his cheeks,

"PLEASE TIME SENSEI! There HAS to be another way! Another possible outcome. Please Time Sensei! Tell me there is another way!"

Time Sensei started to accumulate tears around her eyes, as she held in her cry for Lloyd's sake, and sadly replied,

"I looked more than once... there are no other ways then what I told you. I'm so sorry Lloyd. I wish you two didn't have to suffer like this."

Time Sensei placed her hand on her mouth, as she tried to keep herself steady so that she wouldn't cry in that moment. Lloyd laid his hands on the ground as tears kept streaming down his cheeks. He balled one of his hands into a fist, as he started pounding it a few times on the ground, while saying,

"Why? What did she do to deserve this?! She's always been good and kind and caring! Why my Raven?!"

Time Sensei let Lloyd release his stress, as she looked towards Raven, who was looking towards them. Raven was sitting up tiredly, as she had her hand over her mouth, and a few tears were streaming down her eyes.

Then Lloyd stopped hitting the ground, as he took a moment to breathe. After that moment, Lloyd nearly whispered,

"No..."

Time Sensei looked at Lloyd questionably, but then her eyes slowly widened, as she saw him standing up.

"I won't let this happen. I won't let this happen to her. The future is never set in stone, like you said. I'll find another way, or I'll make one! This isn't over," Lloyd said, as he stood up with tear stains still on his face, but he held a fierceness in his eyes.

Time Sensei looked at Lloyd in surprise at first, but then she smiled and said,

"I believe you can do it."

Lloyd nodded towards her, and then he turned towards Raven, as she looked at him in surprise. Lloyd's eyes softened, as he looked towards her.

"What do you plan to do?" Time Sensei asked.

Lloyd reached into his pocket, as he pulled out a small trinket.

"What's that?" Time Sensei asked, in a curious tone.

"A Dragon whistle. Raven gave it to me a while back when I was looking for Ultra dragon. I still kept it with me," Lloyd replied, and then he said,

"I'm going to bring Raven to Aeroplane. To the place where Akemi and Meir first got their powers and became the Platinum dragon. Maybe going back there could help us. After all, the temple retained some of the Platinum dragon's power since it changed from regular stone to platinum and all that."

"Hm... that may work. Back to the start," Time Sensei said, as she put her hand to her chin.

Lloyd put the whistle back in his pocket, and he walked over to Raven. He saw that she looked tired, so he picked her up with one arm under her knees, and the other on her back, just under her shoulders. He walked back towards Time Sensei, as she asked,

"Why take a dragon instead of going on the Bounty?"

"The ninja and kunoichi need to focus on getting better, and I don't want the others to worry. Besides, our dragons are faster," Lloyd replied.

"Sunrise," Time Sensei said.

"What?" Raven asked.

"When the sun rises up, Raven's fate will be sealed by either way I told you. You have to find a way to prevent this before sunrise... or all hope is lost," Time Sensei replied, as Lloyd remembered the vision he had before, where he heard Time Sensei's voice talking about the sunrise.

Yet, he also remembered hearing Akemi's voice, telling him that she believed he could do something. Lloyd nodded towards Time Sensei with determination, and said,

"We'll make it. Thank you Time Sensei."

Raven nuzzled her head into Lloyd's chest, as he gently laid his cheek on her head.

"Then hurry on your way you two. There's not a moment to lose!" Time Sensei said with a smile, and Lloyd looked up and nodded towards her.

Time Sensei quickly ran towards her closet, and she pulled out a big, flat, gray square platform and a large dark-blue marble, as she set the platform before Lloyd.

"Stand on it," Time Sensei said, and Lloyd did as instructed.

Then Time Sensei held the marble forward as it started to glow, and the platform started lifting up.

"What's going on?" Lloyd asked, as the platform lifted him and Raven higher.

"It's a lift. It'll get you to my front door quicker. Don't worry. Once your up there, I'll open the door from my computer. Just get to Aeroplane, okay?" Time Sensei said.

"We will," Lloyd said.

"See you later, Time Sensei," Raven said.

"I'll hold you to that! Bye!" Time Sensei said, as she rose the platform quicker.

Lloyd and Raven were able to get to the front door, as Time Sensei opened it up. When they were outside, Lloyd set Raven on her feet, as he used the Dragon whistle. Ultra dragon and Pearl immediately answered the call, as they stood before Lloyd and Raven. Lloyd quickly explained the situation to them, and he asked for Ultra dragon to guard the Ninja and for Pearl to bring him and Raven to Aeroplane. Both dragons agreed, as Ultra dragon flew to the Bounty down the mountain, and Pearl let Lloyd and Raven on her back, as she started flying towards Aeroplane. Lloyd held Raven next to him, as she leaned her head on his shoulder since her head was starting to hurt again.

'Don't worry Raven. You'll be okay,' Lloyd thought.

Back at Time Sensei's home:

"Do you think he'll make it, Time Sensei? Will he be able to save my daughter?" Sensei Reine asked, as she and Marcell approached Time Sensei near the computer.

"Do you think being at Aeroplane will unlock their powers? I mean, you said you only saw two ways," Marcell asked.

Time Sensei placed her hands behind her back, as she turned towards her two friends and replied,

"I'm not sure of all that will happen, although I have a foresight that has revealed many things to me. I do believe that Lloyd has a chance in saving Raven, and I believe both of them have a chance in saving the world... There are many ways of which things can occur, and sometimes those ways can be limited as to the two outcomes I saw. However, as I have seen with the Second Green Ninja... there are other ways, but then there is a Ninja's way, and I'm curious as to how this turns out."

Sensei Reine and Marcell looked towards one another, and then Time Sensei clapped her hands together which startled them.

"Come my friends, let's get to work," Time Sensei said, and Sensei Reine and Marcell nodded.

On the Bounty:

"Where are they?" Lucy asked Ultra dragon, as she stood on deck, while Ultra dragon was sitting near the Bounty.

"Raaaahhh," Ultra dragon said.

"Oh wait, I can't speak dragon," Lucy said, as she walked closer to Ultra dragon, and placed her hand on one of his heads.

Then Lucy saw when Lloyd was explaining the situation to Ultra dragon and Pearl, while Raven stood next to him, although she didn't look too well. Lucy gasped when she heard the explanation, as she pulled back from Ultra dragon.

"Oh no... I hope they get there in time," Lucy said, in concern.

"Raah," Ultra dragon said, although Lucy understood his expression.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone what he said. I'll just tell them to get the Bounty moving to Mount Soaria. We won't be very close to Aeroplane, but if anything happens, we'll be close enough," Lucy said, and Ultra dragon nodded.

After explaining to Sensei Wu that they needed to go to Mount Soaria to wait for Lloyd and Raven to return from Aeroplane, Sensei Wu agreed to get the Bounty moving. Lucy also explained, from what Lloyd said, that Sensei Reine and Marcell were going to stay with Time Sensei for awhile and that they could leave without them.

School work is becoming more abundant. I may not be able to post chapters for my stories as often for a while from all the work, but when I get a week off from school in like April, then I'll be able to get more chapters up at one time. I'll still try to post when I can. :)
