Aeroplane:
Shou had led Lloyd and Raven to the top of the tower, where the heli-pad was, and then he left when Gerry came to him on an Aerocycle and said that three people needed to see him and Kani.
After they left, Lloyd walked towards the center of the heli-pad, as he placed Raven on her feet on the ground. He walked near the edge of the heli-pad, as he looked beyond Aeroplane and saw that the sun hadn't risen, but that the sky near the horizon was changing color. Raven bent down on one knee, as she touched the floor, feeling that the floor was actually made of platinum stone. She tried to concentrate on the platinum stone, to see if she could take any power from it or manipulate it in anyway. Meanwhile, Lloyd turned around and noticed what Raven was doing. He walked closer to where she was, as he bent down on one knee and placed his hand on the floor.
After some time of concentrating, Lloyd and Raven opened their eyes to see that nothing happened. They both stood up on their feet, as they placed one hand on their own chest to see if they could use their powers. Still, nothing happened, as they removed their hands from their chests while signing.
"Nothing. What are we doing wrong? I thought if we stood here and tried to use our powers then maybe something would have happened," Lloyd said, as he rubbed his forehead with his hand in frustration.
"Well... maybe we're not thinking of this the right way. I mean, they received their powers from jumping into the Platinum orb, but they did it to save everyone right?" Raven said, as she rubbed the side of her head.
"Yeah. They did it because they wanted to save and protect everyone on Aeroplane. We're basically doing the same thing, just on a larger scale," Lloyd said.
"Exactly, but what are we missing? If we are missing something, what is it? What's different now then back then?" Raven asked, as she placed her hand on her chin to think about her own questions.
"Besides the power already being a part of us, nothing," Lloyd said.
"But there has to be a reason why the Platinum power became a part of Akemi and Meir. Why were they able to summon the Platinum dragon? To be as one dragon?" Raven asked.
"I don't know," Lloyd said, in a near whisper.
Then Raven felt as though her head was spinning, as she clutched her head with her hands, and then she yelped when a sudden sharp pain pulsed in her head. Her legs grew very weak, as she fell backwards, but Lloyd was able to quickly catch her right before she hit the floor. He stood on his knees, while holding the upper-half of Raven's body upward with one arm, and keeping his other hand on the other side of her waist. Raven was able to relax her hands from her head, as she lowered them and let them rest on her stomach.
"Are you okay? Raven!" Lloyd said in concern, as he anxiously waited for Raven to open her eyes.
"I'm n-not sure," Raven said, as she opened her eyes to reveal that her right eye was red.
"Raven,' Lloyd said, as he saw that her eye wasn't returning to normal.
"No," Lloyd said, as he looked up to see that there were more colors in the sky of orange and yellow, as the sun was about to rise.
"Lloyd," Raven called him, as he looked down at her in worry.
"The sun... is coming up soon, isn't it?" Raven asked, and Lloyd sadly nodded.
"I... I won't let this happen... I won't let Darkness have... his way," Raven said, as she coughed and grew weaker.
"Raven. Raven! I'm so sorry. I... I won't give up, I'll find a way... I... I can't lose you... no... No!" Lloyd said, as tears began accumulating around the corners of his eyes.
"Lloyd, don't... don't be sad," Raven said, in a weaker voice.
"How can't I?! Your growing weaker by the minute and there's nothing I can do about it! How can I call myself the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master, the Green ninja if I can't even save you?! The one I love with all of my heart," Lloyd said, as tears began streaming down his cheeks.
"Lloyd, please... don't think like this. Whether I stay or go, don't be so sad... We had fun together, d-didn't we? Spending time together, laughing, joking, hanging out with the others... and how can't you call yourself the Green Ninja and Ultimate Spinjitzu Master? Y-You saved me plenty of times to reassure that... your my hero Lloyd," Raven said softly, as she gently stroked the side of Lloyd's face.
"B-But Raven... how can I go on without you?" Lloyd asked, as he sniffled a few times.
"K-Keep the good times we shared in your mind... and keep my love in your heart... then we'll never truly be apart," Raven said, in a near whisper with a small smile on her face.
"Raven... my Raven... I'll always love you," Lloyd said, as he laid his forehead on Raven's while tears rolled down his cheeks.
"I'll always love you... too..." Raven said, as the full realization of the situation hit her.
She thought of her parents, the Viporeans, the four princesses, the five ninja, the Vampires, the Serpentine, her former enemies now friends, the dragons, her other friends including the koi fish, and she especially thought about Lloyd. Her heart began to weep, as it felt as though it was falling apart. Tears formed around Raven's eyes, as she started to sniffle, and as Lloyd lifted his forehead from her own, Raven began to weep.
"Raven, wh-what happened?" Lloyd asked.
Raven leaned her head on Lloyd's chest and her left hand, as she continued to cry and said,
"Why must this be our last moment?! I don't want it to be! I want to stay with you, with all of you! All our family and friends and everyone! I want to stay. I don't want to go so soon!"
As Raven continued to cry, Lloyd hugged her gently, while stroking her hair and said,
"Shh, don't cry like this Raven. Your right, we shouldn't be so sad. Even if this may be our last moment, we shouldn't let it be a sad one... Calm down Raven. I'm here, I'm with you. I'll always be with you."
"I want to always be with you t-too," Raven said, as she pulled back a little to look at Lloyd.
"You are, and I am," Lloyd said, as he held Raven's hand with a soft smile on his face through the streams of tears on his cheeks.
Raven held onto Lloyd's hand, as she also smiled at him through the flow of tears running down her face.
"No matter what..." Raven said, and Lloyd finished her sentence,
"I will always love you."
Lloyd gently laid his forehead on Raven's, as they both closed their eyes and smiled. Their hands gripped tighter together, as the sun finally rose up above the horizon.
Aeroplane- Kani and Shou:
"Are you sure those creatures are waiting to attack us?" King Shou asked the three people before himself and Kani.
"We are your majesties. Those Lizarian freaks are waiting just on Mount Sora to attack Aeroplane," Dareth said, with Violet and Tempura standing next to him.
"Mount Soaria," Violet corrected, and Dareth said,
"Oh yes that! Mount Soare, Soaris, Soarisa, Soaria - Yes! Mount Soaria."
Violet smirked and shook her head, as Tempura hissed a chuckle.
"Prepare our warriors for battle! Keep them around where those Lizarians may come from, and gather the sky warriors to fly on the Aerocycles! Keep everyone at the ready for an attack!" Queen Kani said into a white walkie-talkie that she took out from her pocket.
"Yes Queen!" Replied the Generals of Aeroplane over the walkie-talkie.
"Let us prepare too my dear," Shou said, and Kani nodded.
"Your majesties, we would like to know where Lloyd and Raven are? The others on the Bounty are concerned, especially their parents," Violet asked.
"Yessss, where isss the Princessss and the Sssspinjitzu Massster?" Tempura asked.
Kani and Shou looked towards one another sadly and questionably, since they didn't know if they should tell.
"Whaaat's with all the sudden silence? Did something happen to them?" Dareth asked, growing more concerned.
"Well... the thing is..." Kani said, but she didn't finish.
Bounty:
"So they're just waiting to attack," Kai said, as he stood on deck with everyone else, besides Zane and Auria.
"This looks bad," Jay said, as he was looking through a telescope at the Lizarians who were gathered on Mount Soaria.
"Why can't we do something?" Nya asked.
"You all just recovered from near-death experiences, I don't think you should just rush into battle," Flare said.
"But we can't just let those Lizard-monsters attack Aeroplane," Cole said.
"They haven't moved yet, so maybe we'll still have time to recuperate for a while longer before fighting them," Christa said.
"Waiting here is pointless if it results to nothing," Terrin said, as everyone turned towards him.
"We can't risk fighting them head on. It may be more harmful than good," Sensei Wu said.
"But if we wait here and it results in more tragic madness, then waiting is pointless," Garmadon said.
"But we must wait to see if Lloyd and Raven will return soon," Misako said.
"Yes, we should wait to see if they'll come," Lucy said.
"I hope they're alright," Dr. Julien said.
"I'm sure they will be," a familiar voice called out, as everyone turned towards where the voice came from.
"AURIA!" Christa shouted in delight when she saw Auria and Zane slowly walking towards them, with smiles on their faces.
Christa ran to her older sister, as she gave her a hug, and Auria hugged her back.
"Your awake. I'm so happy that your okay," Christa said, as she let a few tears roll down her cheeks.
"Yes. I feel much better now. Sorry for worrying all of you," Auria said, as she and Christa pulled back from the hug.
"I don't care, as long as if you're here now," Christa said happily.
"Just like Cole huh?" Auria asked with a smile, as Christa looked at her in surprise.
"Although I was unconscious, I could still recall hearing what everyone was saying. Strange isn't it?" Auria said, and Christa shrugged.
"Your alright!" Cole said, as he walked over to Auria and gave her a hug.
"I am, Cole. Thank you for protecting everyone from the Lizarians before, and for waking up," Auria said, as she and Cole pulled back from the hug.
"I should be thanking you for saving us. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't be here right now," Cole said, and Auria nodded.
"It's great to see you up and running again," Kai said, as the others stood in a semi-circle in front of Auria and Zane.
"I'm so glad that all of you are safe, and that I am able to be here with all of you," Auria said.
"It's our pleasure and honor Auria. Welcome back," Lucy said, as she quickly hugged Auria, which surprised her, and let go.
"You flipping worry-causing..." Flare said, as she approached Auria with an upset expression.
Then she hugged Auria which surprised everyone, and said, in an about-to-cry tone,
"I'm so glad your freaking back my friend."
Auria softly smiled, as she hugged Flare back and said,
"I am too. You were very brave in saving everyone when you did. Thank you Flare."
Auria and Flare parted from their hug, as Flare started wiping her tears from her eyes. Yet, a tissue appeared in front of Flare, as she saw that Kai was giving it to her, without looking at her. She took the tissue, as she started wiping her tears, and she noticed that Kai was sniffling a few times.
"Kai, are you crying?" Flare asked, as the other Ninja turned their attention to Kai.
"No. Women cry, but men weep… and I'm not weeping," Kai said, as he turned around while rubbing his eyes with a more serious expression, while Flare held back a chuckle.
"Hey! Those Lizarians are acting weird!" Stephen said, as he hung from a rope that was connected to the center pole on deck.
"What are they doing Stephen?!" Sensei Garmadon asked.
"They appear attentive towards Aeroplane, but they aren't moving!" Stephen replied.
"What's happening on Aero-" Flare said, as she cut off her sentence while her eyes widened.
"What is it? What's happening?" Jay asked, as Flare turned towards Aeroplane.
Everyone else looked towards Aeroplane, and they all gasped.
So... I'm sorry for leaving you guys on a cliff-hanger.
Also, I've been meaning to write short stories based on Disney movies with the Ninjago characters replacing the main characters. I'm indecisive on who I wish to write about first, so if you guys can vote on the poll on my profile page, I will appreciate it.
The actual stories will be written later, but I wanted to prepare for when I do write them. Thanks peeps.
