The United Ninja Team (or UNT for short) prepared their campfire and their sleeping bags, with Zane cooking dinner as the sky was getting darker. When they're done and they lighted up the fire, they gathered around to discuss the plans on how to stop the zombie apocalypse, the cure to turn zombies back to normal people and theories on who was under the beige hood.

"For me, the only way to stop the zombie apocalypse is to find a cure against the virus. Look, I know we have plans to find out who that beige-hooded person is, but my plan is to go to the lab first and stay there while we help Lizzy discover the vaccine against the virus", explained Kira and on the last part, she turned to Lizzy.

"What? Me?", asked Lizzy.

"Yes. You're the only scientist in the team", answered Kira.

"That's what I do aside from being a ninja of Invisibility", said Lizzy.

"That's correct. I want you to find a cure to stop the zombie apocalypse", said Kira as she saw her looking down, so she comforted her,"Don't worry, Lizzy. We'll help you along the way".

Then, Lizzy smiled at her and Kira smiled at her back.

"Thanks, Kira. You're the best", said Lizzy.

"You're welcome", replied Kira.

That's when Lizzy made theories about the cure to stop the zombie apocalypse. After a while, the UNT talked about who the beige-hooded person was.

"I think it was someone who wants to work with our grandfather, Dilly Hart or possibly the survivor in Heroville Town Hall", Kira told Raphael and Kayrah.

"If there was a survivor in Heroville Town Hall and he wants to work with him, the beige-hooded person must be one of the members of Heroville Council", said Kayrah.

While they were discussing about who the beige-hooded person was, a zombie wolf appeared out of nowhere scaring Jay. The others heard his scream and Nya defended him by killing a zombie, who scared him. Jay sighed in relief.

"Thank you, Nya", he said as Nya turned to him with a smile,"I love you".

Then, they spotted zombie wolves approaching the UNT.

"Zombies in the desert! This time, they're wolves!", said Kira,"Let's defend the UNT!".

"Ninjago!", they yelled as they did Spinjitzu knocking off the zombies.

Then, they used their weapons to kill them. Everyone cheered in victory, but...

"GUYS!!! I NEED A LITTLE HELP HERE!!!", Nya yelled as she was trying to fight off zombies, but she's being tackled.

"Nya!!!", Kai and Jay yelled as they ran to save Nya.

Unfortunately, they didn't as after they killed the zombies, Nya was slowly dying.

"Nya!", the UNT yelled as Jay held her in his arms and everyone else gathered around the couple.

"Don't die on me, Nya! Don't keave me! I don't want you to become a monster!", said Jay as he bursted into tears.

"Don't worry about me. Monster or not, I'll always be there for you", said Nya.

"No, don't do this Nya", said Jay.

"Yes, it's true. Whatever happens", she said as she touched his cheek,"Wherever you are, just remember. I... I love you".

This was her last words before she died and everyone mourned for her especially Jay and Kai. Later on, Lloyd told Jay,"There's not enough time. We can mourn for her, but not when we're near her. She's turning into a zombie".

Everyone except Jay looked at each other and nodded. As for him, he looked at Lloyd and nodded,"You're right. Let's go to the Bounty. I really miss her, but I know she'll always be there for me. Even though we're apart".

As he said this, he laid Nya down. Then, they packed their stuff and headed to the Bounty to take off again. Jay and Kai were still crying and mourning for Nya.

Raphael comforted them saying,"Don't worry, boys. She'll come back after we stop the apocalypse".

The two smiled at him and he smiled at them back. They hugged each other while mourning for Nya. After they pulled away and wiped their tears, Kai told Raphael,"You're the best brother we could ever had, even though we're not related".

"Thanks, Kai", replied Raphael.

"No problem", replied Kai.

Everyone ate dinner, prepared for sleep, turned off the lights and drifted off to sleep.
