CORRIDOR OF ELDERS
Jinmay's POV
After we drop the master of sound in Ninjago, Vatu explained everything about the Serpentine wars and how chen was the one started the war in the first place.We went at the top of the buildings, I ordered Vatu and Rava to searched the area if there is any Anacondrai activity.While i remained in Ninjago, I was glad that Rava got her motivation back due to her past mistakes. Even i make mistakes also, how i learned dark arts and let the temptation of make get the best of me. However, I am kinda worried about my power coz when he said to embrace the power. I know how that feels, It's just like i've gone into a spiritual state when i sense my friend in danger. I let the power control me instead of controlling it. I don't know if i could trust my spiritual power....No this is no time to doubt yourself. I have a duty to fulfilled, that is to help Lloyd and his friends.
Later, Vatu and Rava came for the report and they told me they didn't see Chen's army attacking anywhere and have no idea where Chen will strike first, with the first attack resulting in the first succumbing to war. I wonder why Chen didn't attack?
Rava suggest, "Mistress, I think it might be easy if we find Chen's hideout before the war start then take him out."
Vatu pointed out, "Even with our strengths, We both know anacondrai are strong and fierce warriors. They have no damage or affects."
I agreed, "Vatu's right. We can't barge in there and attack all the army. We need to find a way to prevent the war. Beside, Lloyd and his friends were planing to stop them anyway. Now the problem is, How do we stop Anacondrai?"
We were on the verge of no hope of defeating Chen's army. It's imposible to defeat a formidable opponent. Pretty soon, Chen will conquer all of Ninjago, inculding my home. I was having doubts when Vatu come up with a solution. "Hey jinmay....I thought of something. You said that spell came from a spellbook, right?
"Um....what about it?"
"If we can use that book, we might find the way to stop the war."
Rava's eye widened knew what he meant, "that's a good idea but the problem is, Chen has the book and i don't think he won't hand it over.
"Yeah....Chen is a sneaky and caniving little snake. If i ever see him, I'll...." I said angrily.
"I know you hate him but the spellbook is our only hope of ending the war. It's the only way." Vatu said to me. I want to disagree with him until Rava was talking to the birds then to us. "Mistress, I heard Chen has started attacking the Jamanakai Village. At this rate, he won't stop at nothing until every village is conquered." Rava report.
I grunted and turned to Vatu, "Ok fine we have to find Chen's hideout before the war started." "Yeah but how are we suppose to find him?" Vatu asked. I stared at ninjago and answered, "Well, if we can't find his hideout *summoning the spirits around me* we'll asked for help." They both smiled at me.
Vatu's POv
As jinmay asked the spirits to help us out until finally we found where Chen's camp was hiding. We arrive at Chen's camp and we notice it was empty. I guess they must have went out, attacking villages. We scout the area when we stumbled a cage with a rodent, it's chasing something. We went over there, Our eye's widened when we recognize the white snake. Rava said, "why i never....It's Pythor. But We haven't seen him since the Overlord's defeat." We looked at each other then at the cage.
"what's the point in being friendly with the ninja of they're not around to save you" Pythor said as he getting exhuasted. I felt pity at pythor i mean he may be bad so he doesn't deserve it. I went over there and grabbed Pythor out of the cage. He turned to me and said, "Finally, you got me out of there. Wait....oh it's you, the meddling boy."Pythor saw Rava and Jinmay as well and he seem to be irrated to see her, "And his little girl scouts. Who would thought I see you again?"
JInmay who seems not happy to see him, "ooooh I'd give you something for you to....."she was about to pound him but Rava stopped her and calm her down. I placed Pythor on the table and JInmay told me to watch him if he escapes. JInmay turned and found thee spellbook. I guess Chen was too careless to leave the spellbook. JInmay turned the pages into finding a way to stop chen. I stood there and turned to Pythor, "Good to see you again despite the small size."
"Did anyone tell you it's not polite to mock a ancondrai?"Pythor said.
"Oh sorry about that, i haven't seen you awhile so i guess heard what happen huh?"
"of course i know do u think i didn't know anything? If i have the book of spells finally, I might find a spell to make me big again"
"I just hope JInmay finds the spell that can stop Chen's army"
"JInmay....? Where have i heard that name before?......Wait, that purple ninja is JInmay Ender, I couldn't barely recognized her. Oh my.....i see the dark ender has grown as well, just like lloyd. That would explain why she's been assisting and i guess you two must be her bodyguard."
"Well.....something like that. Don't call her dark ender and don't call her a cursed witch either."
"Whatever, I see why she and Lloyd are perfectly match. I think they would make a wonderful couple, wouln't you agree?
I rolled my eyes into ignoring Pythor's word as i notice jinma was having a problem. Rava asked, "Mistress, what's wrong?" "these spells are so.....complicated. I can't even find a way to stop Chen and his ancondrai."JInmay said. "What? I thought you know dark arts from clouse."Vatu said.
"Not all of them......I only know attacks, believe me clouse is not my sensei and i swear not to use black magic. I checked all the pages and there is no way of stopping. If only we know.... someone who can help us defeat them."
I sense that we have no way to defeat them when i stared at Pythor then it hit me. I said to them, ""Hey jinmay....We may not be able to find their weakness but I think we know someone who can......."
Jinmay asked, "We do...."I gestured to Pythor beside me, JInmay looked at me with a strange look then she realize who i was referring to. "Ohhh no no no no not 'Him' there is no way i'm asking Him.The time he tried to destroy the ninjas and take over ninjago. He'll never help or listen to us." Jinmay said with disapprove look. Pythor said as well, "Hah and you expect me to help you and the dark ender forget it."
RAva said, "VAtu i don't think its such a good idea to trust a snake."
"I know you hate him but it's the only way......"I reason with them.
JInmay argued, "VAtu what makes you think he'll help us? Give us a reason. ONe reason."
"Becoz Everyone deserves a second chance. You gave a second chance to Rava and I gave a second chance to the Serpentines. I believe we should give him a second chance."
JInmay and Rava were stirred by my advice, even Pythor was surprised as well that i was able to reason with them. JInmay groaned and walked up to me. "Alright Vatu since it's your idea, why don't you try to talk to him? While we will be on the other side."JInmay groaned as she handed the spellbook to Pythor and walked farther away from me and pythor. Rava and Jinmay were on the side where the radio is while i'm with Pythor whom i'm trying to convince him into helping us.
I said, "Pythor, here's the book since your anacondrai, your the only one who can stop it."
Pythor said, "You think searchcing through all the spells is simple. Beside, it's impsossible to stop them with a spells."
I was about to say something when the we heard the radio. We turned to the radio and a man spoke out.
man in radio: "Another village has fallen, and the ninja have yet to be found. It's the only matter of time ubtil they take over ninjago city."
Pythor grunted, ""Hm...always a downer."
"Pythor look everyone is fighting for their lives just to save NInjago. I know u don't want to help but u just got too, you can't just back down now."
I tried to reason with him but Pythor is still not helping as the radio spoke again.
man in radio: "How the anacondrai returned is a mystery"
Pythor complained, "Not mystery, they're frauds. A true anacondrai would never stand for this"
man in radio: "uf you hear this message, find shelter or find help."
Jinmay shouted, "Hurry up you boys we're running out of time."
I turned to Pyhtor, "Look, we may be different but.....deep down we both know we detest war. Your kind and my kind don't want to fight either."
I notice Pythor began to listen to me as i continued."It's true we fought each other but it was Chen that cause the war in the first place. And now he's trying to repeat the same thing, if we don't stop this then it will become nothing than en endless war."
Pythor lowered his head then at me, "Tell me boy, Why are you trying so hard to prevent this? I mean you do know that i might trick you."
"Becoz..... i trust you Pythor and like you said; A true anacondrai would never stand for this. I know deep inside of your heart that your ancestor don't want to fight in the first place. They wanted peace as much as we do and that's why i'm not asking you as request.....but as a choice. I wanted to believe in you"
"You want to.....believe in me? Even though i did terrible things in the past and yet you want to believe in me."
"Well, Someone once told me; always forgive someone, no matter what they have done to you. And that's why I want to protect everyone and your part of it as well, you were given a second chance. After all, everyone can change, Why not you?"
Somehow Pythor was stirred by my words almost likes somthing deep inside is changing. After all the things he done has been forgiven, he thought about it and asked, "Y'know boy, you remind me of a tale."
I stared at him confusely as he said, "......it's about a hunter who was the first to made peace with the first anacondrai. They protect each other even though their different, yet their connection between them grew tight. In the end, they made a promise to each other that they will one day unite our kind. Hmm.......it's strange the way you trust me, it feels the same."
My eye's widened when he mentioned to me, that story sound exactly the one in my dreams. I don't know what is this feeling but it feels nostalgic and honorable. I said with a grin, "hey, i couldn't agree me more."
Pythor looked at me in the eye and answered, "Hmm.....A true anacondrai would never stand for this. I am a true anacondrai. Very well then i will help you find the solution. Just becoz you placed your trust in me, doesn't make us partners."
I said with glee, "Gee, thx i guess" as i watched pythor searches through the book of spells.
Rava's POV
While we watched Vatu and Pythor from a distance, I notice Pythor is willing to cooperate with him. Somehow Vatu manage to convince him, leaving jinmay a bit impressed. Jinmay said, "Huh? I guess Vatu's advice really did help. He's just like a sensei."
"Indeed, his connection and his way with serpentine was strange." I rsaid with curiosity
"Y'know for some reason Vatu seems so eager to stop the ancondrai war almost like he did before."
We both stared each other then at Vatu, I wondered myself as well. Before we used to fight the serpentines, but now Vatu gave chances and forgive them even they did wrongdoings. I thought to myself, 'could it be Vatu.....? Did u recall some of your past memories?' as my mind is filled with mystery and i shook it off when Vatu called us. We went over there to see Pythor and VAtu found the soution.
Vatu's POV
I exclaimed, "Guys, Pythor has found a way to defeat the Chen's army."Rava asked, "Is this true?" "yes, right now take me there so that i can show this to Garmadon."Pythor requested. Rava said, "Yes but there's problem we don't even know where Chen is going to strike." I facepalmed and said, "Oh i forgot, do you have any ideas, Jinmay? JInmay?"
I turned to her and notice jinmay's eye was glowing purple, almost like she was in a trance. I realize it's a sign that she's having a future vision. As she came back to reality, she turned to us,"GUys i think i know we're chen is going next. There in some kind of Valley that has statues on each side."We don't what she meant when RAva figured it out. "Mistress, are you referring the Corridors of Elders? It is a Valley where it was filled with previous warriors who fought honorably. I suggest that's where they start their battle."Rava implied.
"Ok that's where we should go. Jinmay get ready for our transportation."I said to her when i notice she wasnt listeneing like her mind is somewher else so I called her, "JInmya, hello remember. Chen."
She snapped out of it and gave a determine look,"Uh right...... ok guys time to stop chen once and for all." Rava grabbed Pythor he told us to be gentle with him while i hold the spellbooks.
We stood there at the camp as Pythor asked, "How were you suppose to get there? We won't make it there."
"Oh that's what you think Pythor. I forgot to mentioned something, not only jinmay can fight....."
We watched as JInmay opened the portal in front of us which surprises Pythor. "....she can teleport us." I said with optimistic however for some reason i notice jinmay seems to have a upset look on her face. I asked, "Hey jinmay are you ok?" She snapped out of her pace and said, "Huh, uh noting nothing at all."as we into the portal. While we were travelling through the portal, I communicate her through her thoughts, 'hey jinmay are you sure your ok? You seem upset.'
Jinmay replied, 'so you notice i guess I can't hide it i also saw something else in my vision as well. Soon another tragic fate is about to take place.'
'what do you mean? Jinmay'I asked but she didn't answer me so i guess she doesn't want to talk about it, but i notice her left eye shed one tears and i had a feeling something is bound to happen. As we arrive at the top of the corridors of elders, the war has begun and we stood over there witnessing the fight. We were delightful surprise that the ninjas rally supports; Theirs the Elemental Masters , their allies, and the citizens of Ninjago, along with the Serpentine, the Nindroids, The Stone Army, the Skulkin, the pirates, and the inmates from Kryptarium Prison. We watch as The group manage to keep the snakes from passing and do what they can to make sure they keep the upper hand. As Shade takes control of a bladecopter, Nya, Misako and the sensei's use the Destiny's Bounty to destroy the vehicles, managing to save Skales who expresses relief at seeing the ship again. Having had enough, Chen uses the Roto Jet to widen the opening allowing his followers to pass through the Corridor.
Jinmay spotted Lloyd then turned to us, "We can't reached the destiny bounty but Lloyd might be able to bring pythor there. OK Vatu morph into your wolf form and bring him there."
My eyebrow raised at her, "WHat!! Why do i have to be the one to do it? Why can't Rava? i mean she can fly there very easily or just teleport him up there."
"Oh yes sure unless there's copters and roto jet shooting in the sky. My teleportation drained most of my energy. Beside I need Rava so that she could assist the ninjas and you're the fastest."
"CAn't i have a second thought?"
Rava and Jinmay glared at me as i sighed, "Alright alright fine."
Pythor wondered, "May i ask? What do you mean morph.....?"he didn't get to finished as i transformed into my wolf form. Pythor was shocked when he saw my form. "You....your that wolf from before....then this girl is....."
Rava finished for him, "Yes, i was the black crow. Chen's not the only one who bears the marked with a cursed."as she placed Pythor onto my back together with the spellbook. JInmay reminded, "Listen, Rava and I will try to hold the Chen's army f while you get to lloyd. Got it?"
I nodded as Pythor questioned to JInmay, "Who are you exactly? You three are strangest people i met, Are you rally an elemental master?" jinmay turned to him and respond her answer, "I'm just a witch who despise fighting."Pythor blinked at her as we set off while Jinmay and Rava took off in battle.
Cole's POV
We were trying to hold off the anacondrai's but to no avail. They were to many as they're about to crossed the line when a gust of wind blew hardly at them causing the ancondrai to be pushed back. We looked up to see who it was until i recognize the Emo girl. "RAva!?"I exclaimed. She smiled down at me as she jumped down from the steeps and stood in front of us. She saw the vehicles were heading their way as i watched her brought out her Bow. She aim her energy arrows at the sky causing them to create spread shot which explodes one of the vehicles even the ancondrai. She turned to me, "It's good to see you again, Master of Earth."
My face flustered as i said meekly, "Uh yeah good to see you fighting along with us. I guess your helping us now."
"Indeed, i see how your team work together with everyone makes you stronger so i'm just returning a debt for saving me from the giant snake. Now let us end this tyranny once and for all.
We smiled at each other as we fought off the anacondrai, I watch her as she fought elegantly and gracefully. I was gazing at her when i didn't know the anacondrai tackled me on the ground as he raised his sword at me until a blast of energy arrow shot him. I looked up to her as she help me got up. Rava said, "YOu should focus on the battle than me."as run off leaving me with a bit embarassed and fought off the anacondrai.
Vatu's POV
Pythor said hastily, "faster, they need our help." I was going as fast as i can and i manage to dodge the anacondrai attacks. They were so focus on the battle that they did not notice me it's like i'm a mist to them. I saw lloyd and i was about to get there until i saw one anacondrai is about to attack him from behind. I jumped over them and changed back into my human form as i kicked the ancondrai who tried to hurt lloyd. However, i kinda tossed Pythor and the spellbook in the air before turning into a human and fell but i manage to catch them. Pythor looked at me and complained, "Be careful, do you want me to get hurt?" I said apologetic, "Oops my bad."
Lloyd turned to us, "Vatu and Pythor. What are you doing here?" "No time listen he has something that your father needs to see."I said to him as he raised his eyebrow at Pythor. "Oh come on, you trust me because if anyone is going to take over this world, I'd rather it be me" Pythor said clearly. He still into that and here i thought he's over it. "take me to ur father and he can end this once and for all."Pythor said. Lloyd agreed as we got into the anchor that the bounty let us.
JInmay's POV
While fighting with the anacondrai, I was glad Vatu actually made it when i saw the roto jet landed. Chen was inside who was smiling triumphantly when Skylor attacks Chen as revenge forwhat he's caused. I wanted give him a payback as well for putting a hedaband. Chen was about to tackled her when i tackle him first. He got up and stared at me as if he doesn't recognize me. "what's the matter? Don't you recognize me? Your pupil Rajah."I said removing my mask. Chen took a closer at me then said, "RaJAH, it's you. First Garmadon betrayed me so long ago, now you betray me as well. Wait.....your a Girl!?
I said a bit offended, "Oh now you notice......y'know your terrible father and a sensei. And FYI the name Rajah.....is just a disguise."as i helped skylor get up. "Your alright, C'mon let's teach your father a lessom he'll never forget."I offered as she agreed with me and we lunged at Chen

Lloyd's POV
As we got onto the bounty, I quickly go to my uncle, mum and dad. "Pythor knows of a way to end this!" I say. Vatu placed him on the table as they gathered around Pythor. Wu said, "They've crossed the line of no return. No amoint of power can stop this now" Pythor said, " but the might of a true anacondrai can."Garmadon said, "do you see what's happeneing? This isn't about you. Making you big solves nothing."
Pythor recalled as he opened the page of the spellbook, "but if the generals you banished to the cursed realm so long ago saw this mockery, they would stop this travesty at once."Misako mentioned, "no one comes back from the cursed realm." "....Or left the cursed realm."Vatu added. Garmadon grabs the book and said, "unless he that cursed them takes their place. I could unleash the spirits of the anancondrai generals." Pythor said, "if you banish yourself, magic has its rule y'know." "he's got a point, i mean if you do that...."Vatu bit his lip and couldn't say anymore coz he knows.
"We're not cursing u. We are not getting rid of you to bring them back! I say agrily. "If we dp nothing, we lose ninjag...., " My father replies. Misako questioned, "We don't even know if they'll help." Garmadon claimed, "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."Pythor smiled with glee as Wu said, "Brother, I cannot let this!" "Who are we fooling? there's noy enough time for me to make up for the pain i've caused in my life ... But if I could save Ninjago..."Garmadon said when i got so angry. "THAT IS IT! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! IF YOU WANT MY BLESSING FOR YOU TO WALK OUT ON US AGAIN - FINE!" I said as i turned to the edge of the bounty."BUT DON'T EXPECT ME TO STICK AROUND TO SEE YOU GO! MY REAL FAMILY NEED ME!"
I jump back down into the fight, I hear my father say:
"Lloyd, wait!
Jinmay's POv
While i was teaching Chen a lesson, i saw lloyd fell from the Bounty and for some reason He is fighting more vigirously. i felt this painful chest almost like he was crying, i don't know why but i felt his sadness then i realize now. The vision i saw is coming true so I gave sad smile, "I knew this was going to happen." I see him going back to the bounty.
Vatu's POV
I realize what Jinmay saw in her vision as i felt bad for Lloyd's father is willing to sacrifice himself just to stop the war. Garmadon said as he handed the book to Wu, "Read it brother. you know as well as i, the ninja don't need 2 senseis. Only one can remain"Wu began to read the spell to open the portal to the Cursed Realm, while Misako tells Garmadon she's already forgiven him about the letter. As Garmadon asks her to tell Lloyd he's sorry, when lloyd returns and said, "You can tell me yourself." I saw Garmadon smiled as he continued, "If anyone is going to send you off it is me!"
Lloyd grab the spell book from Wu and continue performing the spell from where it was left off. I watched as Garmadon was surrounded in a beam of purple light that was shot in the sky along the blue light and into what seemed as a to be a portal of some sort . When Lloyd is about finish the spell, his father says to him, "I yerned to make the world in my image! I never relised I already had! In you!"I coulld't bare to watch as Lloyd finish the spell and Garmadon was banished.....
JInmay's POV
I watched as the purple light, presumably Garmadon, traveled upwards along the blue light and into what seemed to be the Cursed Realm . I guess everyone saw that as well, even Rava. The purple light shown a bit brighter before it disappeared and along came 7 green figures out of the portal. They floated around the Bounty for a moment before reading towards the army. I let out a small gasp of fear, unsure what the figured were or what they were going to do.
It turns out the Anacondrai Generals were cursing Chen 's army. I smiled as the army was being cursed and taken to the portal. Chen tries to reason with them, but Arcturus calls him a liar, a cheater and an imposter before he curses him. That's what he get for lying and cheating, I looked to my left to see that Skylor had returned to normal. Once all of Chen's army, including Chen himself, was in the portal it had closed off. There was a moment of silence before everyone started cheering. I cheered, "yes they did it. They succeeded in defeating Chen."I was happy at first but yet sad that I knew Garmadon is the one who has taken the fate. I turned to see Skylor as she bow her head and i did the same, a sign of gratitude. Skylor said, "THx for helping....but are you really a ninja?" I shrugged and replied, "What do you think?"as i disappeared in front of her.
Vatu's POV
AfTer the war ended, I looked at Lloyd who is sad because of his father's apparent death. Even i felt sorry as well that now i know what jinmay meant by another tragic fate. When the anacondrai general spirits appeared in front of them.
Arcturus said to Pythor, " Thank you pythor. you should be rewarded for ur courage and bravery. you gave made ur ancestors proud.....Finally." "oh what can i say? everyone can change." Pythor said turning to me. I was glad that he did heed my words as i watch Arcturus turns him back to his normal size. " that's more like it" he said with joy. As he turned to Lloyd and said, "And thank you, master lloyd. Becoz of ur friends, you have done what we never could, united the serpentine and ur kind as one. becoz of you, the balance is restored. and becoz of ur father, our spirits can be free. you will have our enternal respect, as the greatest warriors to ever battle for ninjago."as he bowed at lloyd and Lloyd did the same thing. I was satisfied that it was over when arcturus mentioned something else.
".....Now that you have united our kind, so our wish has been fulfilled."
Lloyd blinked at him and asked, "Our wish....? What do you mean?"Wu, Misako and Pythor were confused what he meant, even i'm clueless. Arcturus said, "We made a promise long ago, a promise i made to a long lost friend."As he turned to me, everyone were looking at me. I don't even know him but i felt like i barely know him so i asked sheepishly, "Um....have we met somewhere?" Arcturus knew i have no idea what i'm saying, he lifted his wrist when i notice a bracelet that has wolf teeth with it. I looked at it carefully then i realize it was the bracelet i saw in my dream and why i get the feeling i've seen this. I reached out my hand to touch it, all of a sudden i felt a surge in my head almost like it's coming back to me as i fell into a trance.
Inside a vision
I was back in the past again but this time not a dream. I was in a somekind of courthouse. Then, my eye's widened that it's Lonewolf who was held in trial.
The judge, "you were brought here for the crimes for letting anacondrai escape and the murdered of Gowli. I cannot believe you used his blades to slaughtered most of our slayers. How do you plead?"
Lonewolf whose arms and legs were shackled in chains as he answered, "GUilty, you honor." Everyone were murmuring and mumbling as the judge asked, "tell me do you have a reason why would you help anacondrai."
"Becoz when i first met him, i thought all serpentines are evil. When i get to know him, i realize that I was wrong. they're not evil at all, we let our deception cloud our mind. We were wrong about them vecoz deep they wanted peace as much as we."
"so are you saying they're like us who doesn't want to fight. Don't be absurd, the serpentines were the ones who brought disaster upon this world."
"They were'nt trying to hurt us, they try to warn us. I don't know what is so that's why I let the hatchling free coz everyling creature has their own value life."
"oh is that so? What you did was despicable howerever there is a chance for you to redeem your position. If you tell us the location of the anacondrai, your crimes will be forgiven and you will gain your freedom?"
"it was nice offer but i'm afraid i cannot tell you..."
Everyone was shocked that Lonewolf decline the judge offer, which made him angry. "What....what do you mean?"the judge asked.
Lonewofl answered, "becoz i made a promise to him....."
"What is your connection between you and the hatchling?"
"SImple......he was my friend and i will kept his promise no matter what."
"So your saying, you rather recieved the punishment than telling us their location. Yet insist that you care about this monster"
"I will never give up my promise to him......"
Everyone gasped at lonewolf that they couldn't believe a huntsboy would slaughtered the slayers just to protect the anacondrai. They were disgusted by the fact that the huntsboy sided with the serpentine.
The judge said with a disapprove look, "How dreadful.....You betray your kind just to protect him and murdered Gowli and the rest. you are no longer a huntsboy, you are a Lonewolf a blight to this world. I found a fitting punishment for a cursed boy like you. From this day forward, I declare you banish...... into the cursed realm."
As the 4 hoods surrounded him and chant the spell that made the blue portal appeared above him. Lonewolf took gripped of the scale he promised and said softly, "forgive me my friend, i'm afraid i was unable to keep our wish. But i did my duty and i will keep promise. I'll find a way, no matter how long it takes." Those were his last words as he ascend into the cursed realm. As the image went dark.
I stood there and realize the huntsboy was actually me. All this time, the reason i became a spirit guradian was not only to be Zecora's companion but to find my long lost friend. All my dreams i had were actually memories, i clenched onto my head when all the flashbacks of my past are coming back to me. Pieces by pieces until finally it showed me the last piece. It was before when the slayers are coming, instead i became the huntsboy. Kiba was about to leave when i stopped him. "Wait....if i ever want to find you again. May i know your real name?" Kiba said with a confused look, "My name...."
"Well We did trusted each other before since we call each others nickname. It would be better if i know your true name....."
"If i told you my name, will you tell me yours......"
"Of course we're friends, aren't we?"
Kiba turned to him and answered, "My name is.....Arcturus."
"Arcturus....so that's your name. Cool"
"and you......."
I lifted my hands and placed it into my chest as i answered proudly, "My name is.....Sahone. Sahone Lonewolf." as the light shone brightly.
End of Vision
As i pulled away from the bracelet, I felt my chest was in pain, my heart was saddened and my right eye shed one tear. I remembered everything the promise i made from a long lost friend, the things we've spent was actually my past memories i've lost. I looked at Arcturus and said, "Kiba?!"
Arcturus smiled at me, " "Lonewolf""
"You've changed?"
"Not at all my old friend. its been awhile do you have any idea how long i waited?"
I shrugged from the looks of Lloyd, Wu, Misako and Pythor were shocked that i knew him. I smiled as i reached out the scale and showed to him, he glad to see it. "I see you still hold onto our promise." Arcturus said. "Hey, without it how could i forget our promise we made? I'm sorry i kept you waiting for so long and i wasn't unable to fulfill our wish we made."
"It's ok i forgive you. I, too was unable to fulfilled it as well. But master lloyd made it happen, he fulfilled our wish for what we could not by uniting our kinds. With that, our wish has been fulfilled and the balance has been maintained."
I turned to lloyd then at arcturus, "Yeah, i mean after all he is the green ninja who brings peace to this world. Also they are the mightiest and the greatest of warrior."
We both smiled proudly as i sense his aura was about to fade like though he was going to leave. "Unfortunately we must depart once more, our souls have been freed we can easily rest in peace."
I felt hurt when he mentioned it as my eyes began to shed tears. "Don't go."I cried. Arcturus blinked at me as i continued, " After wandering all this time, searching for a friend whom i hope to see him again. If i hadn't been there for you, none of this could have happen."
He stared at his comrades then at me as he went closer to me, "I was glad to see you once more but it is not yours to blame. you fought honorably to to redeem yourself by protecting everyone and I'm proud of that."
"maybe i should have stayed in the cursed realm in the first place so that we can stay together "
Wu and Misako stared at each other that the fact i've been to the cursed realm before and appeared from this world as they gave me their surprise look.
Arcturus assured, ""Don't say that, even if you did our wish would have never been fulfilled. i believe you were given another chance to live again just like how i deserve a second chance."
I said with sympatheic look, ""i guess but I don't know if we'll ever see each other again. I just don't want to lose a friend again...." Arcturus placed his hand on my shoulder and recalled, "Do you remember what you told me before we depart? 'Be strong. Even we're far apart, our friendship will never ceased. It's what hold us together, just like the ophiuchus star.'" I stared at him and gave a sad grin, "I guess my advice did reached to me. After all we're just like ophiuchus, a man and a serpent."
He smiled as he said, "your a crybaby, y'know that." I looked at him kinda remind me that time he said that when we departed. I wiped my tears and said, "hey, i'm not a crybaby, they're just...tears of joy"
We both laughed at each other then we smiled. "I'm glad I found you" I said, with a blissful look. Arcturus replied to me, "And i'm glad you found me and You were the first human who ever made peace with us. Your the greatest friend i've ever met." He lifted his fist and said, "Unity" I blinked at him, he remembered the fist bump we made as a sign of friendship. I smiled and did the same thing. "Unity" as our fist clashed each other. He floated far from as the anacondrai's spirits head to the sky, i notice my friend's sad expression. I shouted, "Hey." Arcturus turned to me as i said with encouragement, "Don't worry i'll wait for you only this time it's my turn to find you, i don't know when or where but that's what it takes to be united once more." Arcturus chuckled, "" Then, i'll make surei'll be waiting." "Goodbye.....kiba" I said with a wink when i called his nickname. He smiled and said, "Goodbye.....Lonewolf." as they disappeared into the sky. I turned my head so that no once cane see my sad face
Pythor said with a disbelief, "the hunter from the tale was....you. you knew the generals of the anacondrai." Misako questioned as well, "You were in the cursed realm.........but no one comes back from the cursed realm." Wu questioned," yes..... but how is that possible?" It's ashamed that i couldn't answer their question, after all that unexpected event was kinda a shocking. I said with my back turn, "i was given a second chance to live again. Lloyd.... Y' know I'm just like him, how i sacrifice myself to prevent a war just like how your father did. I'm glad you have a father who fix his mistake the way i did. thank you for fulfilling our wish for me becoz of you i would have never found him. You really are a true green ninja" as I turned to the edge of the bounty. " OH Pythor Thx for everything and you were right about the tale, I was the . Maybe the next time we meet, we can be not as an enemy but as friends. Just like how i befriended my friend" I turned to them and gave them a sympathetic smile, "farewell my friends needs me." as i jumped off the bounty when i heard lloyd's voice. "Vatu...wait" when he looked down the bounty, i disappeared form the scene.
Rava's POv
Later that day, I watched the Ninja and the Elemental masters agree to keep in contact and come to their aid should they need it. I turned to see Skylor was leaving, Kai awkwardly but successfully offers her the chance to become a Ninja: though flattered, she declines as since Chen is gone, she is now owner of the noodle house. Just before the two are about to kiss, Dareth interupts the moment where Skylor immediately says she'll put back on the Noodle House's menu. Dareth is satisfied, while Kai and Skylor agree to keep in touch before the orange ninja leaves.
I sighed with relieved as i was about to leave as well when. "Where black girl going?" karloff asked behind me. I turned to see Cole walk towards me and asked awkwardly, "Listen, I thought maybe you stay and we could test out our limits. i mean y'know just to see many challenge."
I chuckled, "I love to challenge you but sadly i have to go. My mistress needs me maybe some other time when our paths have crossed." I was about to leave and i forgot to mentioned, "And by the way master of earth....." Cole stared at me waiting to say, "...I still find you flattering." Cole's face turned red when he respond to my words. AS i gave him a flying kiss and left the scene by using wind power.
Vatu's Pov
I sat on the top of the other side of the broken statue as i watch lloyd and his friends were having a ceremony to honor his father for protecting ninjago. I looked up and said, "This ones for you, for the honor of garmadon, Kiba....and my father." I started to sing from my memories that i had as a farewell song.
You stood always smiling, ever quiet, ever tender And a lost child always frightened i remember
That you came and found me blinded by unshed tears The tears we cry are echoes
That tell what tomorrow can hold, and i wept in your arms, and we heard
bells ring out across the land ringing peace at last to your heart my dearest friend
and now the look that you gave me blooms and will live on through the tears in us all without end
the song echoed through the valley and the sky, hoping for everyone to hear it. I said, "Farewell, my old friend." I turned to see jinmay in front of me as she lowered her head. I said, "Y'knew Garmadon is going to do it. She couldn't compressed her feelings as she let out a sigh."Vatu, do you remember Zanes fate that i changed it? Instead of changing zane's, another one will take his place. i wanted to prevent it but could only interwined the fate again. I couln't do anything i mean after all every destiny has their own role." i stared back the sky and said, "You saw my memories did you?"
"Yeah when your up there the eye of ages showed me not only a vision but the glimpse of your past. I didn't all this time you protected your firend. Now i know why you have a way with serpentines"
I gave slight laugh, " yeah but y'know if only i stayed back in the cursed realm.....i would have met him again."
Rava appeared beside jinmay, "but if you did, then you have never met Zecora or us in the first place. Beside, i think he wants you to keep on living just to protect this world. like you said everyone deserve a second chance." I smiled at them and i admit that if i hadn't become a spirit guardian then i would have met them and the journey we had. they walk closer to me as jinmay said, "Well Sahone now i know your true name. i guess we'll get used to it huh"
I turned and corrected her, "YOur mistaken, My name is Vatu Guardian of the forest. I have no other name" Rava and jinmay starde each other then at me with a confuse look. I knew they have no idea why since i got my true name and my memories back. I explained, "after all jinmay, your the one who gave me a new name and a new life. Your juat like me how i treated him like the way you treated me. it's like fate brought us, you found me and i found you. Just like you found lloyd. Beside Sahone the Lonewolf was just the boy who never was" Jinmay smiled proudly at me, "OK Vatu i'm glad that you were my spirit guradian. Jinmay brought her hand up wanting to shake, I looked at her as i shake her hand. All of sudden jinmay's eyes turn purple even her hair was glowing. Rava took a step backward and i just stood ther holding her hand. Jinmay looked at me and chant
cross of silver, day and night
By the eye of ender
turn the darkness into light
Unbind the bead which holds the wish that has been fulfilled
I felt my chest was burning and saw two jade beads, I watch as the two became on jade bead Jinmay regain conscious and saw the beads as it disappeared. We looked at each other with curiosity, we don't know what just happen when Rava spoke, "Vatu the reason the other one disappeared is becoz you fulfilled your promise to a long lost friend and your memories back that's why. now you got one jade beads that means your curse is almost lifting." I said excitedly as i lifted jinmay in the air, "I can't believe it i'm finally become a human again." Jinmay and Rava smiled at me as i turned to the sky. I was happy that i'm going to become a human one day. I said, "Now then shall we get going after all you got some training to jinmay." Jinmay jaw dropped and, "What? now...."
"hey it's your fault that you've been skipping lesson since Zane's return. So c'mon you got some lesson to teach."
"Do i have to? I mean i've been training on chen's island and now i'm going to train again. Gimme a break, we just stop the war."
Rava and i chuckled as i pushed jinmay from behind. Jinmay complained, " Can't i just take break? Rava do something" Rava said with a grin, "Now now that's not how a spirit master to act. Y'know dark arts is bad for you so we're going to trained you. it's for your own good." Jinmay moaned as i laughed and left the corridors of elder. It was a beautiful day and now the world is peace once more. We say goodbye to a legend, as jinmay opened the portal a strong breeze blew by.
"Brrr.....woah now that's some wind huh Rava? Rava? " I turned to rava who just stood there, staring in the sky. "uh Rava" jinmay called while the portal still opened. Rava shrugged and turned to us, "oh nothing it's just I felt the wind....but for some reason it feels unnatural" as we entered the portal.
