I made a poll. It should be on my profile. I need help with a decision. It's not serious so don't worry.

Oh! And enjoy the next chapter!

Lloyd, Raven, Pearl:

They crossed over forests and hills, as Lloyd kept a close eye on Raven. Her eye flickered red twice, as she grew weaker and a little paler after each time. Lloyd grew more concerned for Raven, but he knew he had to keep a level head. He moved Raven in front of himself on her back and side, so that his arm wrapped around her shoulders, while his other hand held onto Pearl's reins over Raven's legs.

"A-Are we c-close?" Raven asked, as she had one hand on Lloyd's chest, while the other was wrapped around his waist, weakly.

"We're close. I see Mount Soaria now," Lloyd replied, as they drew closer to the mountain.

"Okay..." Raven whispered, as she started to cough.

"Are you okay?" Lloyd asked.

Raven took a moment to breathe slowly, and then she replied, "I'm okay... I think."

Lloyd looked down at Raven, and his eyes widened when he saw that her right eye was red and that she looked dazed.

"Raven!" Lloyd called her name.

Raven snapped out of her daze, as her eye returned to normal.

"Y-Yes?" Raven asked, as she looked up at Lloyd.

"Y... nothing... Are you cold?" Lloyd asked.

"No, I'm alright," Raven said, as she leaned her head against Lloyd's shoulder and closed her eyes.

"Hurry Pearl," Lloyd said, and Pearl turned her head partially towards him and nodded.

Pearl flew even quicker, as they came closer to Mount Soaria, and then she flew upward through the fog. She quickly maneuvered through the fog, as she rose up above the clouds and fog to see Aeroplane ahead.

"Good work Pearl," Lloyd said as he smiled, and Pearl turned and nodded towards him.

They flew the rest of the way to Aeroplane, as Jorgon came over to see them, and he brought them straight to King Shou and Queen Kani when he saw that Raven wasn't feeling well. They met King Shou and Queen Kani at the front of the castle entrance on ground, where the temple used to be. Lloyd and Raven realized that the castle tower with the heli-pad was where the temple was.

After Pearl landed on the ground and Jorgon left to go back on guard duty, Lloyd jumped down off of Pearl with Raven in his arms, as he approached the concerned King and Queen.

"We heard from Auria and Christa that you guys were going to Ninjago city to retrieve Raven. Did something happen to her there?" Kani asked, as she placed her hand gently on Raven's forehead.

Lloyd explained,

"Darkness and her were fighting, and he shot an evil beam at her. I deflected it, but my powers were locked, as well as Raven's. We went to see Time Sensei to see if she knew how the First Green and Purple ninja unlocked their powers, but... they received their powers from-"

"The Platinum orb," King Shou said, as Lloyd looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, we have a little more knowledge about what happened before than the scrolls," Kani said.

"Then... do you know who the first two were?" Lloyd asked.

"That's the only thing we don't know," King Shou said.

"T-The First Green Ninja's n-name is Akemi..." Raven said in a near whisper, as Kani removed her hand from her head, and they looked towards her.

"T-The First P-Purple Ninja's name is Meir, also known as... D-Darkness," Raven finished, and Shou and Kani gasped.

"Yeah. It's hard to believe," Lloyd said, and continued, "But that's the problem, because Darkness is the Purple ninja and a Black Mambian's kid, he was able to use his powers against Raven so that he could turn her evil. That evil beam he used was supposed to turn her evil sooner, but since I deflected it, it stalled the effects... But now it's starting to act up, and we need to unlock our powers or else she'll either turn evil... or die."

Kani held her hand to her mouth, as Shou said, sadly,

"No... not the baby bird of the Princesses."

"We tried everything we could to unlock our powers, but there was nothing more we could do. That's why we wanted to see how the first two got their powers so that we could unlock them, but they received their powers from the Platinum orb. Then I thought that, maybe if we came to the place where they first received their powers, maybe our powers will unlock again or we'll be able to unlock them somehow," Lloyd said.

"Okay. This tower here is where the temple is. The tower was built to protect the temple. We'll bring you to the heli-pad, since that's just above where the temple roof is, and where the Platinum dragon first appeared," Kani said.

"Come. I'll lead you two up," Shou said, as he led the way into the temple for Lloyd and Raven.

"Come Pearl. You should take time to rest," Kani said to the Purple dragon, as Pearl reluctantly agreed since she was worried about Raven.

Back on the Bounty:

"Easy man. Slow and steady," Andrex said, as he was walking down the hallway with Jay, Kai, and Stephen, as Jay was trying to walk since he hadn't walked for a while.

"I got it," Jay said, as he was careful with each step he took.

"Hey guys! It's been a while," Cole said, as he was walking towards them with Bronze following, since he was watching over him so that he wouldn't hurt himself.

"Cole! You really are awake!" Jay said with a smile.

"It's good to see you again," Kai said with a nod.

Cole nodded back and said, "It's good to be back."

"Where's Zane at?" Jay asked.

"He's with Auria," Cole replied, sadly.

"We heard she still hasn't woken up," Kai said, as Christa approached the group from behind Cole.

"No she hasn't... not yet anyway," Christa said.

"I'm sure she'll wake up soon. Just like Cole over here, and... Nya!" Jay said, as he noticed, a few rooms down the hallway, that Nya was walking out of her room with Luna walking besides her.

"Jay?" Nya said, as she looked across the hallway and saw the others grouped together and looking towards her.

When she saw that they were all okay, she smiled, and when she noticed that Jay was limping towards her quickly, she started quickening her pace to him.

"Careful Nya," Luna said, as she helped Nya walk the rest of the hallway to Jay.

"I gotcha dude," Andrex said, as he took Jay's arm over his shoulder and helped him walk across the hallway to Nya.

When they were close enough, Andrex and Luna let go of Jay and Nya, as the two embraced in a longing hug.

"Oh Jay, your alright! I was so worried about you and Kai and Flare. I couldn't keep my eyes open to see what was happening, and my head was pounding... I'm just so glad that your all okay," Nya said in relief and with a big smile on her face.

Jay pulled a little back from the hug, as he looked at Nya with a big grin and said,

"I'm so glad your okay too Nya. I knew the others were somewhat okay because Kai was a curtain apart from me and he went to check on the others, and even Flare was telling us how everyone was doing... but I really wanted to see you. I was so worried, what with that deadly poison and all, but King Terrin saved you!"

Jay gave Nya another hug, and then he pulled back and gave Nya a kiss on the lips. She was a little surprised, but then she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Although it was adorable for the small amount of time it lasted, Kai was able to quickly walk over and separate them, as he spoke playfully,

"Okay, okay. You love each other, that's great. But wait until you tie the knot first."

"Kai!" Nya said with a blush, as she lightly punched Kai on his shoulder, so that she wouldn't hurt him.

Jay also blushed, while he rubbed the back of his head with a sheepish grin. Cole, Bronze, and Stephen smirked, while Christa, Luna, and Andrex chuckled.

"Oiy! What's all of this here little birds? You all feel well enough to fly?" The familiar voice of Queen Malentha called, as the group turned towards the end of the hall that led to the Bounty's deck and saw her walking towards them with Flare following her.

"Since you two are well enough to kiss, then I can safely assume that all of you can come up on deck with your weapons," Malentha said, as she and Flare stood before the group.

"Are we being attacked?" -Cole

"We're so hoofed if Darkness found us!" -Jay

"What happened?" -Kai

"Iie! Calm yourselves ninja! There's no one up there besides our people, but things aren't looking so well for Aeroplane. We had to move the Bounty to a safer location so that those flying lizarians wouldn't find us," Malentha said.

"The Lizarians are heading for Aeroplane?" Kai said in surprise, while the others looked at each other in surprise.

"My home," Christa said, in concern.

"Don't worry yourself much Lil'Christa. They've been on Mount Soaria, and it looks like they aren't moving for awhile. I'm not sure why Darkness would want them there, but I'm sure if they attack, then the ones near Volcanic Kingdom will attack at the same time," Malentha said.

"But, we were able to inform my dad, and he's already prepared to fight," Flare said.

"And we just sent three of our people, who just returned, to warn Queen Kani and King Shou about them," Malentha said.

Before anyone could ask, Malentha said, in a more commanding tone,

"Well? What are all of you waiting for?! GET YOUR STUFF AND GET UPSTAIRS! LET'S GO!"

The three ninja, one kunoichi, and one samurai started heading back to their rooms to get their suits and weapons, while the four vampires accompanied the ones they were watching over. Then Lucy stuck her head into the hallway from the entrance to the Bounty's deck and said,

"They made it to Aeroplane without being spotted."

Malentha turned towards her, as well as Flare, and she said,

"Great. Let's go wait on deck."

In Auria's room:

Auria still laid on her bed with the covers over her body, except her left hand, as Zane stood sitting on a chair next to the bed. He reached towards Auria's hand with his own, and held onto it, as he used his other hand to stroke her hair.

"Auria... I only wish that I could trade places with you. You shouldn't be in this position again: battling against life and death… -sign- but things happen..." Zane said, softly, as he stood up and let go of Auria's hand.

Then he laid his hand on her cheek, as he leaned down and gave her a soft kiss on her other cheek.

"Even so, I won't give up on you Auria. I promised that I wouldn't leave your side, and I won't! I'll stay here with you... my dear Auria... no matter how long it takes for you to awake, I'll stay by your side always. No matter what, I'll be here for you... so p-please... stay with me t-too," Zane said, as he sat back down and laid his head on the side of the bed, and wept.

As Zane quietly cried, he didn't yet notice that the covers were slowly moving.
