Chen laughed as he and his army continued to attack the village. "Haha! Run! Haha! Run away! Oh, watch your step. I feel sorry for them, Zugu. They rely so heavily on the ninja. They don't know what to do when they're not here. Doesn't anyone here want to fight?" He said and Zugu nodded. "Haha! Onward, my slithering soldiers, until there is no village left unturned." They all laughed as they continued.

Kaya was stuck by the anacondrai tomb as Nya tried to reach her. "Chen has...Ka..vill...eryone.." Nya's voice was heard. "I can't read you, Nya. Repeat." The others had problem hearing what she was saying. "Tell us where we need to go. I can't use my dragon power, so if anyone is close-" Lloyd said before the radio died. "Nya? Nya? Can anyone hear me?" He tried to start the radio, but it just buzzed. So he started up the truck and started to drive it towards the cave.

Selena meanwhile looked at the truck. "I need to find their camp." She said and held up her hand. "Almarori ketron." With that, the trucks trail was slightly shown by purple light. "I'm gonna get you, Pyther and Pythor." Selena soon jumped into the truck and followed the trail.

Nya tried to reached the others, but the radio didn't work. "They're attacking Jamanakai village. You have to stop them. All communication is cut." She exclaimed and Skylor started to get worried. "If our fighters don't know where to go, who's gonna stop my father?" Speaking of the devil, Chen appeared on the screen laughing. "Hello. As you can see, I've taken control of the airwaves, just as I'll take over Ninjago." Garmadon glared at him. "You'll pay for this, Chen." He hissed and Wu sighed. "What do you want?" Chen smirked. "A truce." Garmadon scoffed. "Ha! Like the one the real anacondrai wanted during the last war? The truce that you destroyed by deceiving both sides?" This made Chen grin.

"I will honor my word and no one will get hurt, if you and everyone you know leave Ninjago and never comes back." The others looked at him with shocked faces. "We're not leaving our home." Garmadon hissed before seeing Wu thinking about it. "Wait. Let us think about it." This made Garmadon glare at him. "How can you even entertain him?" Wu turned to him. "Our ninja are gone. We need more time." Chen chuckled. "You should listen to your brother, Garmadon. He's always had a way with words. Hehe. It convinced Misako, didn't it? What's wrong? You look a little purple. Oh, that's right. Once a snake, always a snake." Garmadon looked away guilty as Misako and Wu looked at him.

Skylor glared at Chen. "Haven't you hurt enough people, father?" Misako walked up to Garmadon. "What is he talking about?" She asked and Chen grinned. "Oh, he hasn't told you? The letter he wrote that made you fall in love with him...it was written by Wu. Oh, and about that truce? Deal's off. I actually only wanted to drop that delicious little bombshell. Toodaloo!" He ended the call. Garmadon looked away. "I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you." He said with a guilty tone. "I already knew." Misako said, making Garmadon look at her shocked.

"You did? And still stayed with me?" Wu nodded. "Misako told me about the letter, and I told her I wrote it before throwing it away. Because I knew she loved you more. So I backed away." Garmadon's eyes widened. "How are you not mad over what I did?" Misako grabbed his hand. "Because, I know you didn't mean anything bad. And you've been through a lot afterwards, feeling guilty over it. You've suffered enough." The three soon hugged eachother while Skylor smiled, happy that her father didn't manage to split them.

(A/N. Hear me out, I really hated the letter thing. So I changed it.)

At Chen's camp was Pythor still getting chased by the swamp rat. "Wretched contraption. I can't run forever, you filthy rodent. What's the point in being friendly with the ninja if they're never around to save you?" He exclaimed while Pyther tried to break free. "You got this Pyther. Just like dad and mom taught you." With a deep breath he started to wriggle his wrists faster, making the friction set the rope on a small fire. Soon the rope got burned off, freeing him. "Haha! I did it." Pyther exclaimed and Pythor looked at him. "Good. Now can you help me!?" He asked before Pyther picked him up.

"Thank you." Pythor sighed before seeing the spell book. "The book of spells, finally. Time to find me a spell to make me big again." Pyther shook his head. "Don't think so." Suddenly Cyrus was heard through the radio. "Another village has fallen, and the ninja have yet to be found. It's only a matter of time until they take over Ninjago City." He said and Pythor scoffed. "Hmm. News, always a downer." Pyther was listening to the radio. "How the anacondrai returned is a mystery." Cyrus said, making Pythor roll his eyes. "Not a mystery. They're frauds. A true anacondrai would never stand for this." He exclaimed.

"If you hear this message, find shelter or find help." Cyrus ended and Pythor thought a little. "Hm. A true anacondrai would never stand for this. I am a true anacondrai." Pyther nodded. "Me too." They looked at the spell book before looking at eachother.

Meanwhile was Lloyd and Neuro meet up. "They're heading west. I tried to stop them, but I'm just a mind reader. I couldn't help anymore." Neuro sighed and Lloyd nodded. "But you can help me. Can you send a message to all of the fighters at once?" He said and Neuro nodded before using his power to reach the others. They all soon met up in the samurai cave. "Thank goodness you got my message." Neuro said in relief. Kaya saw Skylor having her legs back and getting less purple and scaly. "Look at you." Skylor nodded with a smile. "It's good to have legs again. But my father's antics sadly have not stopped." Kaya nodded.

Lloyd looked around. "Where's Selena?" He asked and Garmadon looked at him. "Neuro said she was looking for Chen's camp. So she's not here." Lloyd nodded before Griffin looked at everyone. "So why were we asked here? We should be fighting snakes." Wu looked at him. "Because anyone can fight. Only one side can declare victory." Nya nodded and showed a map over Ninjago. "In the time it took you to get here, Chen has taken over the entire eastern seaboard and is moving inland. With each village destroyed, they grow stronger." Karlof growled.

"That's a lot of red. Karlof not like red." He exclaimed. "How are we supposed to stop them? Most of us have lost control of our dragons, not to mention we're outnumbered ten to one." Gravis told them. "Actually, 62.4 to one." Zane corrected before Lloyd sighed. "Look, I'm scared like the rest of you. It may look like we've lost, but it's not over. When we thought we lost Zane, it nearly tore us apart. But we didn't quit. We let it fuel us. We grew stronger." Everyone smiled and nodded. "There's hope. The corridor of elders." Wu suggested and the others looked at him.

"Corridor of elders?" Shade asked and Wu nodded. "I know we don't stand much of a chance taking on his entire army at once, but after he's controlled the east, he'll move west tomorrow and have to pass through echo canyons. Our best tactical position is to make our stand where it bottlenecks, here at the corridor of elders, the monuments honoring our ancestors. It's the narrowest channel, but our greatest chance." He informed and Garmadon nodded. "If we can't stop them here, the rest of Ninjago will fall like dominos." Everyone looked at eachother with smiles of hope.

Karlof laughed. "Karlof not like to lose. Karlof fueled!" Everyone cheered. "Then we have one day to save tomorrow." Wu informed before splitting up to get more people to help. "I wish I could say we're not facing an army unlike we've ever seen, but we have, and we know what they're capable of." Kaya told the people at doomsday comix, making them nod. "Right now, our cities and villages are falling, which is why we're asking everyone to rise up." Jay stood by his parent's junkyard, making them smile at him proudly. "We all may have different backgrounds, but we all share the same future." Zane said by his statue, getting attention from Skales and his family, aswell as other snakes.

"You may wonder why we're asking you to fight for Ninjago. We aren't. We're asking you to fight for each other." Cole told the prisoners in Kryptarium, and they looked at eachother before nodding. "We're asking you to fight as one." Lloyd said by the bank and the citizens cheered before getting ready to fight. Pyther meanwhile was slithering from the camp, Pythor being on his shoulder. "We'll never make it in this pace." He said before a truck appeared infront of them. "Oh shit. We're doomed." Pythor exclaimed before Selena walked outside. "Need a lift?" She asked, making the two anacondrai  sigh in relief.

Chen's army had reached the canyons, Chen being carried in the jet and fanning himself. "I'm hot and this skin doesn't breath like my old one. How much further?" He complained like a child. "The corridor of elders is just up ahead." Zugu answered and Chen nodded. "Good. Maybe we can stop for a break. And you four can carve my image into the walls in my honor." He said before seeing the ninja and masters on the other side.

"Huh. There's so many of them." Jay nervously laughed while Lloyd marked the ground. "We fight for each other. We fight as one." He said and everyone cheered. "The ninja. Charge!" Chen exclaimed before the cultists charged towards the ninja. "Hold the line. Hold!" Lloyd said, before the cultists suddenly fell into a hole, making Chen's eyes widened. "Trapdoor? That's my signature move. Ugh, destroy them!" He growled as the rest of the army charged forward. "Now!" Lloyd exclaimed before Zane froze the hole, before they all attacked.

The citizens arrived and started to help, using everything they had to fight back, making the cultists slither backwards. "Not backwards, forwards! You're anacondrai! Crush them!" Chen ordered before they charged forward, forcing everyone to hold them back. But they started slipping as more cultists pushed forward. "I'm slipping!" Cole said before Shade saw a copter in the sky. With his powers he managed to take control of it, making it crash into other copters. That's when Nya arrived in the Bounty.

"The new girl hates feeling left out. Now!" She smirked as Wu and Garmadon shot nets at the cultists, making Chen growl. "Ships aren't supposed to fly. Sink it!" He ordered before the ninja used spinjitsu to knock the cultists back. "Misako, Nya, drop it like it's hot." Wu said and the two nodded before destroying a chrusher, saving Skales. "Never thought I'd be happy to see that ship again." He said happily.

Chen glared forward. "Break through the line!" He ordered and Zugu looked at him. "We can't. The canyon's too narrow!" This made Chen glare at him more. "Then make it bigger!" Zugu nodded before they shot down one of the statues. "Watch out!" Karlof exclaimed before Gravis stopped it with his powers. "We have to stop them!" Lloyd exclaimed and Kaya looked around. "We don't have enough people." Cole's eyes widened. "We can't hold them all!" That's when the cultists crossed the line. "They crossed the line." She cried out.

Selena arrived with Pythor and Pyther, heading towards Lloyd. "Lloyd!" She shouted and Lloyd turned to them. "Selena! You have Pythor and Pyther." Pythor looked at him. "I have something your father needs to see." This made Lloyd looked at him suspiciously. "Oh, come on. You can trust me because if anyone is going to take over this world, I'd rather it be me. Take me to your father, and he can end this once and for all." Pyther and Selena nodded. "Okay, let go." Lloyd said before Selena grabbed Pyther and Lloyd wrapped a hand around her waist before heading towards the Bounty. She looked at him with a blush, which made Lloyd blush aswell. "Ugh. Love." Pythor said from Pyther's shoulder.

Chen meanwhile landed with the jet. "Now nothing can stop me." He laughed before Skylor threw him out of the jet. "Sorry, but I have a few daddy issues." She said and walked towards him. Lloyd soon reached the Bounty. "Pythor says he has something that can end this war." He said before they all looked at Pythor in Pyther's hand. "They've crossed the line of no return. No amount of power can stop this now." Wu said. "But the might of a true anacondrai can." Pythor suggested before Garmadon rolled his eyes. "Do you see what's happening? This isn't about you. Making you big solves nothing." He said and Pythor shook his head.

"But if the generals you banished to the cursed realm so long ago saw this mockery, they would stop this travesty at once." Misako looked at him as if he said something crazy. "No one comes back from the cursed realm." Selena held up the book and showed them. "Unless he that cursed them takes their place. I could unleash the spirits of the anacondrai generals." Garmadon pointed out. "If you banish yourself. Magic has its rules, you know." Pythor nodded.

Lloyd's eyes widened. "We're not cursing you. We're not losing you to bring them back." He exclaimed and Garmadon shook his head. "If we do nothing, we lose Ninjago." Misako looked at him. "We don't even know if they'll help." He grabbed her hand. "We do know that the real anacondrai wanted peace as much as us. It was Chen who started both wars. I never thought I'd say this, but Pythor is right." Wu stepped infront of him. "I cannot allow this, brother." Garmadon looked at him.

"Who are we fooling? There's not enough time for me to make up for the pain I've caused in my life. But if I could save Ninjago..." Lloyd clenched his fists and glared at him. "You want my blessing to walk out on us again, fine. But don't expect me to stick around to watch you go. My real family needs me." He jumped off the Bounty as Garmadon tried to stop him. "Lloyd, wait!" Suddenly a missile hit the Bounty. "If this is going to happen, I suggest we do it now." Pythor said and Wu nodded before handing the book to Selena.

Lloyd fell towards the ground and got flashes of memories about Garmadon and himself, taking out his anger on the cultists. "What's gotten into Lloyd?" Zane asked and Kaya looked at him. "I don't know, but it's too late. We can't stop them now." She answered. On the Bounty had Selena summoned the portal symbol under Garmadon. "Take care brother, my dear Misako. I'll miss you all." He said and both Wu and Misako nodded with saddened expressions. Selena soon took the deep breath and held up her hand while holding the book in the other.

"Komodo, nicktu, demic tara." The spell started up, making Garmadon floating in the air. "Misako, tell Lloyd I'm sorry." Garmadon said before Lloyd arrived. "You can tell me yourself. I forgive you father." He said and Garmadon smiled. "Kenji, suveris, toto-demada, cursono, neeboro." Selena continued as a portal opened up, making everyone gasp. Garmadon turned to Lloyd. "I yearned to make the world in my image. I never realized I already had, in you." He smiled and Lloyd smiled back with teary eyes. "Actu, cursono, neeborro, sono, hokido, bo-rock!" Selena finished the spell and sent Garmadon to the cursed realm.

Everyone looked in shock as the anacondrai general's spirits flew out and cursed the cultists, sending them to the cursed realm. "The spirits of the anacondrai generals." Kaya smiled and Cole did the same. "They're cursing Chen's army." Chen tried to slither away. "Arcturus! What are you doing? W-we're on the same team!" He exclaimed before Arcturus appeared infront of him. "You will never be one of us. Because you are a liar, a cheat, and an impostor!" With that he cursed Chen who tried to fight it. "I can't be cursed! Aah! Save me, Skylor!" He pleeded while Skylor turned back completely, while flipping him off.

Soon Chen and his army fully went into the portal, making everyone cheer. "All right! Hahaha. Yeah, we did it, guys. We did it." Kaya said while Cole hugged her and spun her around happily. Misako looked up smiling before seeing Lloyd's frown. "The war is over. It had to be done." She said and hugged him. Suddenly Arcturus and the other generals arrived infront of them. "Thank you, Pythor. You should be rewarded for your courage and bravery. You have made your ancestors proud. Finally." He said with crossed arms.

"Oh, what can I say? Everyone can change." Pythor answered before being returned to normal size. "That's more like it. Haha!" Arcturus turned towards Pyther and smiled. "And young Pyther. You've shown that the next generation serpentine can live in piece. We're proud of you." Pyther smiled and bowed. "Thank you." Lloyd smiled as Arcturus turned to him. "And thank you, master Lloyd. Because of your friends, you have done what we never could, united the serpentine and your kind as one. Because of you, the balance is restored. And because of your father, our spirits can be free. You will have our eternal respect as the greatest warriors to ever battle for Ninjago." With a final nod the generals flew into a portal, but a golden one.

"What portal was that?" Pyther asked. "A portal to the realm of after. Where people who found peace go to." Selena answered while everyone cheered happily. Kaya walked up to Skylor and noticed her using her powers. "Seems like everything's back to normal. You're welcome to join the team if you want." Skylor smiled. "I'm honored. But now that my father's gone, someone's got to run the family business. Don't worry, no more underground crime. Just noodles, and some friendly tournaments." Kaya smiled before Dareth arrived.

"Please, you have to tell me." He pleeded and Skylor sighed. "Yes, I will put the puffy potsticker back on the menu." She answered and dareth sighed in relief. "Oh, finally. All is right in the world." He walked off while Skylor and Kaya laughed. "Keep in touch. Friends?" Skylor asked and Kaya smiled. "I'd like that. But how about, best friends." This made Skylor smile before nodding. The two hugged eachother.

Suddenly Cole and Kaya heard a familiar voice. "Mom, dad!" They turned to see Pyther slithering towards them. "Pyther!" The family embraced eachother in a big hug, making everyone smile at them. Lloyd soon looked at Selena. "Um, Selena. I'm wondering. Would you maybe wanna join the team? Because I really think you'll belong. And I really like being with you. I mean around you. I mean." He panicked while blushing. Selena giggled before grabbing his hand. "I'd love to. My green knight." She pulled him into a kiss while blushing herself. Lloyd's eyes widened before he kissed back. "MY SHIP SAILED AGAIN!!" Jay's voice was heard, followed by a smack. "Can you not ruin thes moments!" Nya said while everyone laughed.

Later everyone helped cleaning up the corridor of elders, aswell as making a statue of Garmadon. The ninja gathered around a fire and drank tea. "To the anacondrai, the greatest warriors of their time." Kaya said and Jay nodded. "Yeah. Now it's our turn to make our ancestors proud." Lloyd looked up. "Because we're proud of those who were here before us to show us the way. Goodbye, Father." Wu smiled at him gently. "His loss will affect us all." Misako shook her head and hugged Lloyd. "Not his loss, his life. He made us stronger, and he brought us together." They all smiled and looked up.

"I am Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon." Lloyd said. "Student of Sensei Garmadon." Wu added and Lloyd held his heart. "He made me who I am today. He was my father. He was my adversary. But in the end, he was my friend." Everyone smiled at him. "Because of him, we will live to see tomorrow." Zane said and Kaya nodded. "And for every tomorrow, we'll live to honor him." Lloyd saw Selena holding the book. "It's yours now. You're the true master of sorcery." Selena smiled and hugged him.

"And because of him, we'll be ready for whatever comes next." Jay said and Cole nodded. "Skeletons, snakes, nindroids, and anacondrai wannabes. If they can't stop us, what can?" Everyone agreed. "That's for tomorrow to decide. Today, we say goodbye to a legend." Lloyd said happily. Pyther smiled while hugging Kaya and Cole.

What they didn't see was a portal to the cursed realm open up and a ghostly figure appeared. "Morro!" It said from a tornado.

(A/N. So that was season 4. So the wedding chapter comes next before season 5. See you then.)
