The Ninja:

The Ninja were traveling through the desert as they could see the Anacondrai tomb about half a mile ahead.

"There's the tomb, but where's the-" Jay said, as he looked North-west of the tomb and spotted the machine.

Everyone else turned and easily noticed the machine as their jaws dropped.

The machine looked like a fortified observatory, with purple spiked rings that wrapped around the cylinder body and circled around it. The body of the observatory was black, with six white vertical lines evenly spaced out from the top to the bottom. However, instead of a telescope, there was a cannon aiming toward the sky, and it had an open dragon's mouth on the front of it. The dragon head was gray, and the rest of the cannon was dark purple. There were metal rods that stuck from the bottom of the observatory into the sandy ground to hold it in place from the shifting sand. The cannon wasn't aiming in their direction, it was in profile view to the Ninja.

"Well, there's the machine. It's a freaking huge... turret cannon," Flare said.

"How is Darkness going to use that to destroy everything?" Kai asked.

"Let's not find out. Come on!" Cole said, as the Ninja turned towards the Turret Cannon and were heading straight towards it.

As they drove, they saw a creature standing on the Turret Cannon as it started flying towards them.

"There is a creature moving speedily towards us," Zane said.

"It's the Overlord," Lloyd said, recognizing the evil dragon as it came closer.

"So the Ninja decided to come over for a visit? Heh Heh Heh! This will be your last interference in Darkness' plans!" Overlord said, as he was flying towards Lloyd and Raven mostly.

However, Jay flew higher and quicker ahead, and then he shot a lightening bolt at Darkness with his jet-plane. The Overlord blocked the attack with his wing, as he shot a purple blast at Jay, but he dodged it. Auria also flew ahead with Jay and used a wind attack from her vehicle, as the Overlord avoided it. With that distraction, Lloyd and Raven continued flying passed the Overlord to the machine.

"You're not getting by me so easily!" Overlord shouted and turned around, but then he felt something land on his back.

"We'll we're still here!" Jay shouted, while holding onto the Overlord's back after dismissing his vehicle from above him.

"Get off of me you imbecile!" Overlord shouted, but then he felt more weight on his back, tail, and head.

"This time we're taking you down ourselves!" Kai shouted, as he and the rest of the ninja and kunoichi were holding onto the Overlord's back and attacking him.

"Your the imbecile for thinking we were pushovers!" Flare said, as she poked the Overlord in his left eye.

"I second that!" Auria said, as she poked the Overlord's right eye.

"GAAH!" The Overlord yelled, as he was trying to knock the Ninja off of his back.

Other Lizarians were heading towards the Overlord to assist him. However, roars were heard as the group of flying red- and orange- eyed lizarians were attacked by various elemental shots and white fire. The Ninja and the Overlord looked to see Ultra dragon and Pearl flying towards them, along with Dr. Julien on Pearl's back.

"Father!" Zane called out, as Dr. Julien waved at them.

"You must stop the machine! Darkness has activated it but it's taking a while to warm up! Hurry!" Dr. Julien shouted.

Ultra dragon flew straight towards the Overlord and tackled him, while the Ninja jumped up. As the Overlord descended towards the ground, the Ninja landed on Ultra dragon's back.

"We have to defeat the Overlord before we can stop the Turret," Kai said, as the Overlord rose back up, while the Lizarians rose up near him.

"YAAAHH!" A voice shouted, as the Lizarians were hit by two waves of water.

"Lucy!" The Ninja called, as they saw Lucy flying up to them on her water vehicle.

She dismissed her vehicle to land on Ultra dragon's back.

"Let's hurry to the machine!" Lucy said, and the Ninja agreed.

The Overlord shot black fire at the Ninja and Ultra dragon, as they dodged.

"It's going to be hard to stop it like this!" Cole said.

"We're on it!" Marcell's voice called from above, as everyone looked up to see Nya and Marcell on a motor-jet.

"Kai! Jay! Guys! What were you thinking? Leaving without telling us?!" Nya scolded.

"We're sorry Nya! It's just..." Kai trailed off.

"We didn't want it to seem like a final goodbye!" Jay shouted.

Nya gasped, but then she smiled and shouted, "Then let's not let it be!"

Nya and Marcell drove straight towards the Turret Cannon to find a way inside, while the Ninja and Ultra dragon went to deal with the Overlord and the few remaining Lizarians. Pearl brought Dr. Julien to a safer location.

Meanwhile:

Lloyd and Raven continued flying towards the Turret Cannon, and they noticed a large gathering of storm clouds in the sky that was not too far from the Turret Cannon. When Lloyd and Raven were close to the turret, a sudden powerful gust of wind pulled them upward towards the clouds while still on their dragons.

"What's happening?!" Lloyd asked, as they passed by the TC.

"I don't know… this wind… it's being controlled!" Raven replied over the swirling winds that moved like ocean waves.

"Darkness! He must be manipulating the wind!" Lloyd said, as he and Raven were heading towards the clouds.

Then the clouds parted, revealing black double-doors with two vertical columns of spikes on each one. The doors parted inwardly, as Lloyd and Raven were pulled in by the wind until they were totally inside. Lloyd and Raven landed their dragons on the floor, and then the doors slammed closed.

The large room they were in was circular, with black walls that looked like an endless abyss. The ceiling was very high up with dark misty clouds that covered a quarter down from it, and the floor was gray and glossy. Lloyd and Raven dismissed their dragons, as they quickly examined their surroundings, and then they turned towards a light source that was coming from the opposite side of the room. Although surprised at first, Lloyd and Raven looked towards the one sitting on a dark throne with determined expressions.

Sitting on the black glossy-stone throne was Darkness, with his hood on his head, and his black hair that covered his eyes. The light source that lit the area in front of Darkness, and brought a few more layers of light to the rest of the room, was a circular mirror that stood on the wall above the throne.

"So, you both made it... and your much stronger huh? I guess my trap for Raven backfired..." Darkness said in a monotone voice, as he stood leaning back with his shoulders slightly slumped.

"I'm impressed by your wills. You never gave up, even when you should have… even when you were pushed to your limits… Impressive," Darkness said, while looking away from them, although they couldn't see his eyes.

"Darkness, we've come to settle this once and for all," Lloyd said, calmly.

"Please… Darkness. We don't have to fight. You can stop all of this and leave. We won't pursue as long as if you leave our world alone," Raven said, with sympathy seeing as Darkness seemed aloof and stressed.

Darkness chuckled as he looked towards them and his red eyes glowed, while he said,

"All I've done, all the problems and heartaches I've caused all of you… and yet you wish to show mercy? I have to say, I admire such virtue… but it won't deter me from my goal. This world has lived long enough, as well as it's inhabitants… I've had enough of it all…"

"This world is as much your home as it is ours. Do you really want to destroy it?" Raven asked.

"This world. These people. Why should it continue? It's the same thing: living, dying. Although in different ways, it leads to the same fate. All that is created by people, all that is part of this world… it means nothing. Everything is meaningless… it all ends one day, like a trend. Everything is meaningless and it needs to end... It makes no difference if I end it now, then wait for everything to slowly die and restart all over again!" Darkness said, as he slowly stood up from his throne.

"It's not restarting! It's creating new life for the next generations to come! Those 'trends' your talking about and this world brings people together. In good or bad times, it brings people together who want to create a better future and change their fates from dark to light. To be better people and bring out the best in others!" Lloyd said, as he took a step forward.

"Hmph, your just like..." Darkness trailed off, as he remembered a very significant person.

Raven took a gentle step forward and asked,

"Akemi, right?"

Lloyd briefly glanced towards Raven, as Darkness looked at them with his eyes widened and his jaw clenched.

"So, you know about her… That Time Sensei... you know everything don't you?" Darkness asked, and Raven and Lloyd nodded, although they were surprised that he knew about Time Sensei.

Darkness lifted his head a little higher, as his face was better revealed with a small smile, and he said,

"But I'm sure you don't realize that if I didn't meet Ryan and Silva when I ascended from the seal underground… I would have already destroyed this world. I already knew of you Lloyd, so I would have gotten you beforehand, but hearing of a Black Mambian princess from them, I had to see if you were the Purple Ninja, Raven. I had to know… for Akemi's sake… I had to know… I had to give all of you a chance… but now..."

Darkness pulled his hood off of his head, revealing his spiked-up black hair with spiky bangs, and said,

"Now that you've released the Platinum dragon, I can't risk letting you two live anymore. I gave ALL of you a chance, more than one actually… but now it's OVER! This is the end!"

Darkness' hands immediately emitted a large amount of dark energy, as he raised his clenched fists up to his elbows. Lloyd and Raven also emitted gold and silver energy from their hands, as they lifted their clenched fists to their elbows and spread their legs a little more.

The bell has been struck, a final battle will ensue… will the Golden Green and Silver Purple ninja be able to defeat the Evil, Former Silver Purple ninja?

The final battle has begun!
