The sun spread across the land of Ninjago. Lloyd woke up to the feeling of something shifting in his arms. He opened his eyes to see her lying in his arms, sleeping peacefully. He didn't want to move and risk waking her up. He picked up his phone off the desk next to him and looked at the time: 8:06. With a quiet sigh, he closed his eyes and drifted back into his slumber.

A bright flash woke her up. She opened her eyes to see her brother fumbling his phone with a look of panic on his face. Busted. He was a dead man now. He sprinted out of the room. Then she heard someone band their head on something. She pooped up and she saw Cole rubbing the back of his head, but he was facing the other way so he couldn't see her. She had to get out of the room. She wasn't supposed to be in there. She quietly slipped out of the bed, trying to avoid waking up Lloyd. She snuck her way over to the door and started to open it. As she opened the door, a loud creek filled the room. Cole looked over to the door. His eyes widened, then he looked over at Lloyd. He blinked a few times then started to laugh. Her face turned red with embarrassment and she walked out the door. She got to her room and locked the door. She realized she made a big mistake.

Today was the day. The day when he would be put into a better place. Cole Loaded the coffin onto the Bounty. Everyone boarded as they flew off towards their destination.

They flew to the Floating Ruins, the place where the Nunchucks of Lightning once sat. At the same place the Nunchucks once sat, they put the coffin. Lloyd hugged Nya as she cried. Everyone left a flower next to the coffin and Wu laid the Nunchucks of Lightning in front of the coffin. Everyone started to shed tears. Everyone took turns sharing their favorite memories of Jay. The storms started to pick up. The wind got faster and the thunder got louder. Everyone got back onto the Bounty and they headed back to the monastery.

The woman with white hair looked up at a flying ship in the sky, leaving the place she was headed.

"You really had to complicate things more by killing him, didn't you?" She asked, looking over at her partner on the old motorcycle next to her. "You're lucky it worked out though. We needed to turn him to our side one way or another," She said with a smirk on her face.

"I didn't mean for him to get hit. Nobody was, he was just an idiot," He replied. They began to pick up the speed as they entered the ruins.

The ninja landed back at the monastery, each person with a depressed look on their faces. They each went to their rooms and sat there contemplating things on their mind. They all wished it was them rather than him. Kai, Cole, Zane, and Lloyd all looked at each other. Lloyd got up and walked out the door. He went to the courtyard, summoned his dragon, and flew off to the one place he always went when he wanted to be alone, the Temple of Light.

Nya saw a figure in a green hoodie sprint past her door. She followed him into the courtyard and saw a green dragon flying away, off into the sunset. She summoned her dragon and followed it. She wasn't letting him go alone this time. Who knows what kinda harm he would get himself into. He already had cuts on his arms, she didn't want anything worse for him. She followed him on what seemed to be an eternal trip. It's like he wasn't going to any destination, but just flying around to shake someone off of him. He knew she was following him. She sped up next to him. She unsummoned her dragon and hopped onto his.

"So, where are we going?" she asked him. He shook his head.

"I'm taking you home. I'm sorry, but I need to be alone," He responded. She understood but wasn't going to leave him alone. She shook her head.

"I can't leave you alone, knowing how you are. So please, take me with you," She told him. He knew if he argued it, he would lose, no matter how stubborn he was. He nodded.

"Fine," he sighed. They flew over the ocean, off to the Temple of Light in the dark of the night.
