Ninjago: The Cursed Crystal King (4)

Chapter 55: The Last Minutes

- Master Wu! Master Wu! - shouted Nelson running up to Wu, who was busy reading the scroll.

- Yes, what's going on? - He asked, putting the paper down.

- It's the ninjas, they're back! And there's You Know Master Who with them. - whispered Nelson, talking about Garmadon.

Master Wu smiled, putting his hands on his hips, and walked to the exit.

Ninja outside. Lloyd and Garmadon, Nya, Jay and PIXAL and Zane reunited with the other heroes, who were anxiously waiting for them. 

- It is indeed a great relief to see you all safe and sound. - Macy sighed.

- Yeah, I was already starting to worry, that those big beasts had taken you guys. - agreed Lance.

The door to the warehouse opened with a creak and everyone looked at the Master behind them.

- Nya, Lloyd. - sighed in relief Wu, walked outside.

- Master Wu. - said Lloyd with a smile and went to hug his uncle.

- It's good to see you all.

- Likewise, uncle.

Jay looked around confusedly, searching among the others for a familiar lion. 

- And where is Saber?

Everyone fell silent looking down. Lloyd, Jay, PIXAL and Zane frowned and Garmadon raised an eyebrow.

- Saber... he... em... - stammered Kai, avoiding their gaze.

Suddenly, Pythor's terrified scream rang throughout the warehouse. They all ran to the warehouse and saw Pythor in the arms of Aspheera, who looked shocked, and what's more, there was Saber lying on a crate, alive, who had his body covered with a sheet.

- It's dark in here, hello! Help! I can't see anything! - cried the lion, before throwing himself hard and falling off the crate onto the floor.

Everyone who thought Saber had lost his life about five hours ago was stunned. They stared at the lion with lowered jaws and dejected stares.

- Saber? You're alive!? - cried Jestro at full throat.

Madeline recovered from her shock and removed the lion's hindrance from her body. He shook his mane and coughed before falling to his side. Everyone ran up to him and started shouting.

- We thought you were dead!! - shouted Kai.

- How the hell, did you come back to life!!? - cried an amazed Cole.

- Me too! - exclaimed a shocked Saber, raising his head and looking at his gunshot wounds. He shifted his gaze to his friends and started laughing madly, which immediately turned into crying.
