Second to last chapter, y'all! I skipped previous episode "The Last Resort" since it's all Jay and Nya. Sorry, Jaya fans, but I honestly just can't stand them this season. Also, since they forget it anyway I figured it doesn't matter. *Lazy writer sounds*

On with the show~~~~!!

~~~~~

Time had come to a standstill. Everyone has experienced the feeling of waking up in the middle of the night and not being sure of where they are. That was what Charlie felt like. Everything was slow and exhausting.

Nothing felt right, but she couldn't bring herself fix it. She was drifting in a state of semi comatose. How much time had passed? A minute? 50 years? It was all the same in the Djinn Blade. The only thing she was sure of were the green shards clinging to her. They stuck like burrs and she was fairly sure that they were what was keeping her so sluggish.

This is it. She thought. This is the end. An existence of not dying, but not really being alive.

Then something grabbed her.

She was being shook awake by...Kai?? The hazel eyed Ninja was shaking her violently.

"Waaake upp!" His words were distorted. She couldn't understand. Her eyes closed again.

Suddenly, her body began to buzz. It was like she was coming alive again. Her senses were put on high alert as she was ripped from the Djinn Blade and until reality.

An explosion shook the earth as the Master of Darkness opened her eyes. A few small fires burned and broken planks were scattered everywhere.

But Charlie was more focused on the people. Jay was standing up, his bruises healing. Charlie looked around and saw the other Ninja, Wu, and her mother. Standing around them was an odd bunch. Captain Soto, Skylor, Ronin, Dareth, and a robot that looked like a rusty, steampunk Zane.

But Charlie was more focused on seeing that her friend was safe. "Jay!"

"Its great to see you guys!" The Master of Lighting cried.

"Jay, you did it," Kai told him.

"And it appears you found some new friends," Zane added as he approached his duplicate.

"What about Nadakhan?" Cole asked with a frown. "Don't tell me that guy is still around."

Jay let out a sigh. "And he's more powerful than ever."

"Do we have everyone?" Wu asked as he glanced around.

Charlie looked around and realized that the Crimson Ninja was not present. "Not everyone."

Jay nodded solemnly. "We have one more ninja to save," his frown was replaced by a grin as he raised the Djinn Blade above is head. "Now who wants to crash a wedding?"

Cheers rang out among the mismatched bunch. They may have been ragtag, but they were a force to be reckoned with.
