Brian POV...

We ran towards the Overlord's base "get down" I said as we all got down onto the ground in front of the wooden gate to the Overlords camp "they won't know what hit them" Aiden said "time to chop wood" Mike said as we all ran at the wooden gate breaking it down to see that the whole camp was abandoned,no sight of the Overlord,his Army,Pythor or even his weapon. "Uh,where the heck is everybody?" Mike asked as we walked into the deserted camp "ugh and here I was all ready to release the thunder" Aaron groaned "the weapon is gone,we are too late" Aiden said as we heard the Falcon screech. "My falcon friend wants to show us something" Zach said leading us to the weapon's tracks "whoa,that's one big weapon" I said "it appears to be heading towards the coast" Zach said "but why? wouldn't he try it on us?" I asked "not on us,on Ninjago" Wu said " but if he starts turning things evil,the balance will shift allowing him to successfully cross over to our world" Misako said "then we have to make sure he never fires that weapon" I said as we ran along the weapons tracks when Zach spotted his Father falling behind. "Father!" Zach said approaching Julien "you go on with out me,I'm a inventor,not a fighter,I'll only get in the way" Julien said "but what will you do?" Zach asked "I'll be back on the Bounty waiting for you to return in one piece,but don't worry,a part of me will always be with you" Julien said as Skales,Senn and Aspheera slithered over next to Julien "don't worry Zach,we will be with him" Skales said Zach nodded "be well father" Zach said before catching up to us as we ran into the forest.

"Be Safe"

Separation

Brian POV...

We ran down the path following the weapon's tracks "um,is anyone else thinking about how this might be our final fight together?" Mike asked "yeah" Aiden said "of course" Zach said "it's all I've been thinking about" Aaron said "we've come a long way,it wasn't that long ago when Sensei first found us" Aiden said. "Hey remember that time Aiden thought he was the Green Ninja?" Mike said laughing along with everyone else except Aiden "that was quite the memory" Zach said as we continued to laugh,I remembered when I was told how before I became the Green Ninja and joining the team,Aiden was convinced that he was destined to become the Green Ninja. "He was so not" Aaron said "or what about when that rouge Hyphobrai hypothesized Aaron and we had to fight him?" Zach said laughing along with everyone else. "We should've just kicked his butt" Aiden said "or how about the time sensei came out of the guts of the Devourer's belly?" Zach said making us all groan in disgust. "Drinking tea?" Zach said "oh,that was so gross!" Aaron said "yeah,I thought he was a goner" Mike said as Wu hit him in the head with his staff "wrong again,Mr. Empty head" Wu said when suddenly something or someone ran in front of us making us stop in our tracks. "Whoa" I said as we looked up at the trees "something is wrong here" Aaron said "where? where?" Mike said panicking as two figures ran by at a inhuman speed "did I just see..." Aiden said "I sense two evil presences" Zach said "where? where?" Mike said as someone jumps from a tree to another tree "above us!" Wu said as a red spinjitzu tornado hit's Aaron "ow,my jaw,that hurt!" Aaron said when another red tornado knocks me off my feet. "Whoa!" I shouted as Cyrus and Acidicus helped me up "no one does that to the Green Ninja!" Aiden said as the two tornado's stopped to reveal both Romeo and Shen who's scale color was now dark black and their eyes had chanced to glowing purple similar to the Overlord's eyes. They both pulled out their weapons before going into their fighting stances growling like a savage animal "Shen! Romeo!" Cyrus shouted trying to get over to them but Wu and Acidicus stopped him "that is no longer Shen and Romeo" Wu said "what did he do to my friends!?" Cyrus shouted "the Overlord must've used the ultimate weapon to turn them into his own evil image" Misako said as both Shen and Romeo growl "the Overlord must have sent them so slow us down,we have stop him from firing that weapon" Wu said as Romeo pulled out a flail. "What are we supposed to do? use our elemental powers on them?" Aaron suggested "NO! I don't want to hurt them" Mike said "Mike's right,we just have to find a way to keep them from-" Aiden was interrupted when he was hit in the face by Romeo's flail "hurting us" Aiden finished groaning in pain. "Well,we should think of something before the Overlord fires that weapon" Zach said as Aaron walked over "Brian,you go up ahead with Sensei,Misako and Acidicus while we take care of Shen and Romeo" Aaron said "but you said you'd always be behind me" I said remembering what they had said to me back at the Bounty. "We will be,we'll catch up as soon as we can" Aiden said as Mike tried using Spinjitzu to defeat Romeo but was hit in the groin by Romeo's flail "oof,that hurt" Mike groaned in pain as I looked over at Wu,Misako and Acidicus. "The Ninja are right,we must go" Wu said "we'll still be behind you,grandson" Misako said as we ran down the path.
