The doors of the Ninjago City hospital fly open as a green blurr rushes inside. His clothes look as if he slept in them, and his hair isn't much better.

He runs down the hall, tearing past doctors and nurses alike with speed that one wouldn't expect from a man of ninety four years. He arrives at a door which three other people are already outside of. Panting slightly, he takes a moment to catch his breath before looking at the others and asking, "I'm not too late, right?"

A man with hair that has long since gone gray but still stands in its iconic spiky style, shakes his head, saying, "No, Jay's with him right now, and Zane's already seen him. Just you, me, and Nya are left."

Lloyd sighs in relief before sadly looking at his lifelong friends. Seeing just how much wear and tear time has had on them. They're all mostly in their nineties by now, but none of them truly look like it.

Kai still has his eye scar and wears his hair the same, but wrinkles on his face and hands show just how old he is, not to mention his now all gray hair - after he finally gave up trying to keep it its original chocolate brown color -. But he can still get around pretty easily, even with his back problems, derived from a lifetime of doing flips and getting slammed into various walls.

Zane probably looks the most unchanged out of all of them, despite him being the oldest by far. All that has changed with him is new scratches and dents on his metal body, similar to the scars that all of them share.

Nya has taken up dyeing her hair to keep it's dark gray color. That alone makes her look much younger. But the crows feet around her eyes and the smile lines around her mouth betray her true age.

Lloyd looks down at himself, he still looks the same, even after fifty two years. His blond hair is still silky and gray free. His skin is still wrinkleless. And he still has the agility and speed of his youth.

The door opens and Jay exits, tears slipping down his face as he sniffles and tries to wipe them away.

"Oh, hey Lloyd." He says, giving his friend a small smile.

"You're next Kai." He says, turning to the former red ninja. Kai nods and quietly slips inside the room, closing the door gently behind him.

Jay walks over to Nya and almost collapses in her arms. Tears falling on his wife's shoulder as he silently cries. His fluffy hair that he always prided himself in has thinned out somewhat, along with losing its auburn color. His hearing aids are actually in his ears for once, usually he forgets them and Nya has to basically put them in herself. The former blue ninja started going deaf after being exposed to too much thunder and explosions. Making sense since he was once the master of lightning.

After a short time, Kai comes back out, motioning to Nya that it's her turn next. She reluctantly pulls away from her husband, giving him a gentle kiss on his temple as she does so. She enters the room and Kai shuts the door behind her before making his way over to Lloyd.

"Hey Greenbean." He says, ruffling Lloyd's hair with one hand and trying to smile, but ultimately failing.

Lloyd doesn't respond, instead he pulls Kai into a hug, knowing that he needs it, even if the older man would never admit to it. Once Lloyd has both of his arms around him, Kai drops his head onto the blond's shoulder, his own shaking as he tries to hold back tears. Lloyd rubs his best friend's back gently as he cries.
