A/N Before I start, I want to apologize because I told my Harumi through life and death followers I was resuming THIS saturday. I meant next saturday, sorry guys. Anyways... on with the story also thank you , SuperNinjagoLPSColor for your idea.
Wu had managed to convince Jay to fix Zane so they could talk to Lloyd. It turns out that the young energy dragon had been affected by his father's power, causing a strange illness that Wu had never seen the likes of before.
"It is indeed... troubling."
That was all the old dragon said. He had deep concerns for his nephew, but he knew that this was destiny and, with a wish upon the first dragjitzu master, destiny also wanted them around to fight another day.
Wu knew about these young dragons, and he knew their secrets too. And he also knew that the next dragon would reveal his secret soon.

"Alright, to continue on to the tea shop, we must travel through the cursed realm." The creation dragon announced.
Cole choked on the bird he was eating.
No, no, not the cursed realm. My true form will show, they will recognize me. They'll try to kill me again.
"Do we have to? Maybe there's an easier way?" Cole tried to sound as calm as he could. If he panicked he would flicker between forms.
"No, this is the only way." Wu waited for anyone (mostly Cole) to speak up.
When nothing was said, Wu continued, "I assumed you all know how to cross over realms?"
He was met with murmurs of agreement.
"Let us go, then."
For a dragon who was the son of the first ever being, Wu was very fast and agile in the air.
Zane, Jay, Kai (Lloyd on his back) and Nya all followed and began to spin in the air.
Cole looked at them, then looked at the saftey of Dragon-Go.
His choices:
•Stay in Dragon-Go and be a horrible friend.
•Follow and risk being killed in the cursed realm.
As soon as the portal started closing, Cole made his choice.
The earth dragon spread his wings and flew towards the portal.
His friends had already flew through by now, so had the old man.
And if Cole doesn't succesfully reach it to the other side in time, the worst thing would happen.
He would get trapped between realms.
The last dragon who did end up like that, escaped, but went crazy after being alone for so long.
The portal was getting smaller by the minute.
Should I risk it? Or should I back down?
You know what they say, "Go big, or go home."
And I'm gonna go big.
With one final push of his wings, Cole went through the opening.
Now it was just a competition to see if he could make it out on time.
***
Bright colors flashed in front of his face as he raced through the tunnel.
The other end to the portal was getting closer, but at the smae time, smaller.
Cole had to make it, didn't he?
Suddenly, the doorway closed.
"No!"
Cole spun around and tried to get back to the opening, but that closed as well.
Cole was trapped in between realms.
And there was nothing he could do to save himself.

Wu led the dragons through the cursed realm quickly, and motioned for them to open another portal.
Soon enough, they were in the first realm, and the tea shop was in sight. They landed and hurried inside.
Kai layed Lloyd down on the wooden table as Wu had instructed him to.
The old dragon quickly put together his mixtures.
There was nothing that could get rid of Lloyd's illness, but it would help them at the very least.
Wu informed them of this and they accepted it.
There was something amiss about the group though.
Was there someone missing?
It was probably just his old brain.
****
Several hours had paased by and Lloyd finally began to stir.
He coughed roughly and slowly sat up.
Kai and the others rushed over to help him.
"How are you feeling, Lloyd?" Asked Nya.
"Like a cave collapsed on me." He groggily stated.
The energy dragon looked around.
"Hey, where's Cole?" He asked.
"What do you mean, Lloyd," Jay asked, "Dirtclod's right he--" Jay stopped talking as he too realized that Cole wasn't present.
The others picked up on this too.
"Oh dear." Muttured Wu.
******
Cole had lost track of how long he'd been in here, he hoped it wasn't long, the last dragon had been stuck for 16 centuries.
His name was Kimacuda Yang (A/N Is that right?) and the poor guy had gone crazy, to say the least.
He started talking about a Yin blade, and how the eclipse would bring doom upon them all.
Yang had to be locked up in a sacred dragon temple, and he hasn't been seen or heard of since.
Was Cole going to go crazy? Was he going to have to be locked up? Would he spend a millenium in there?!
Sooner or later his wings would become tired and he would give in to the zero gravity and float around in the endless black void forever.
And over time he would be forgotten, heck, his disappearance probably went unnoticed! He might as well just give up.
And with that he folded his wings and let himself be consumed by the darkness.
