Ok for those who have been reading before the update and may not be aware of a change to chapter 29. It was changed a bit.
(Risking everything, the 4 Ninja disguise themselves as Stone Warriors, and escort Misako to Lord Garmadon's camp, pretending to have captured her. While Lloyd and Aria stayed back at camp.
"What's going to happen when this is all over?" Aria asks as they sat on Lloyd's bed reading a comic
"what do you mean?" Lloyd questions
"well isn't our purpose as ninjas over, what's left for us to do?" Aria asks worriedly
Lloyd looks at her "wellIwashopingmaybeyou'dwanttomaybego-"
"Lloyd calm down" Aria laughs "Just tell me"
"Maybe you'd wanna go traveling with me?" Lloyd asks
"I'd like that greenie" Aria says smiling.)
Before it did say that he asked Aria to travel and date him, now it just says that he asked her to travel. I changed it so that their relationship can develop more before they get together.

Darkness surrounded her, black was all she could see. Somehow though, she knew she wasn't dead. Aria opened her eyes and stood up, she looked down to see herself in some kind of black liquid, it was the darkness.
She looked off into the distance, something was headed her way, it was a giant wave of darkness. Once it was upon her, it consumed her, and she was forced under. She covered her mouth and forced her way back to the surface, the darkness seemed to be growing.
Her hair was still blonde unlike the black color it was turned to outside her mind. This must be why the Overlord easily gave up her powers. If she had her powers and made the deal, he could take control of her.
In the distance she swore she saw a building, she did the only thing she could do, she headed toward it. She didn't know what was happening nor did she know what to do. Aria walked onto the dark platform their were two pillars with a heart in the middle.
She reached out to touch it and a dark barrier formed around it, preventing her from touching it. She turned around to see a figure that looked just like herself, but with black hair and purple eyes.
Her clone laughs evilly "you're going to die"
Aria backed away, the clone reached out and dragged her back under the darkness away from the heart. Aria blasted fire at the clone forcing it to let go, she quickly pushed back to the surface and took in deep breaths. She grabbed hold of the platform and pulled herself up onto it. Her hand shook as she reached out toward the heart.
"You can't touch it" Her dark clone says as it emerged from the darkness
"How are you here" Aria asks "I blasted you"
"You can never get rid of me I will always be here" Her clone says turning it's head "Always"
"Leave me alone!" Aria shouts blasting purple fire at it
"you can't escape" her dark clone tells her
Aria felt the heart pulse, like it was calling to her.
"I will always be here, you can't get rid of me" her dark clone repeats "you may be a ninja but you were born a villain.. even when you think their's light, their will always be darkness"
Aria reaches out to the heart "Yes but all the same, where there is darkness there will always be light, and I refuse to be consumed by the darkness!"
She touches the heart and light surrounds the place. As Aria is blinded by the light she can hear the shouts of her clone.
"You can't get rid of me! I will always be here!"
Aria opens her eyes to see a clear blue sky. She sits up and looks around, she was in Ninjago and it was a mess, despite that, she smiles.
"It's so pretty" Aria says happily "I'm home"
"Ugh. What happened?"
Aria turns around to see the ninja, except Lloyd, nearby.
Kai and Jay see Nya back to normal "Nya!"
They run towards Nya and engulf her in a hug.
Cole helps Zane get up "Come here, you tin can" he hugs Zane
"Is this really happening? We did it?" Julian asks unsure
"We did it. You did it. I did it! Heck, who didn't do it!?" Dareth shouts
"Yeah. But where's Lloyd?" Kai asks
Lloyd flies down on his Dragon.
"Lloyd!" The ninja shout as he hopped off
"You were brilliant, son" Misako hugs him
"Because of you, Ninjago was saved. Because of you, there will be a tomorrow" Wu smiles
Lloyd looks down "but Aria.."
"Right here" Aria says as she approaches
Lloyd quickly runs to her and hugs her "You're ok!"
"All thanks to you" Aria smiles and let's out a giggle "it pays to have the green ninja as your best friend"
The other ninja gather to them and hug Aria.
"Are you alright Aria?" Wu asks "I know your father was evil, but still.."
"I understand what you're trying to say Sensei. My father will always be my father" Aria looks at him and smiles "I'm sad that he's gone, but I will be ok, because I know it had to be done. Ninjago is now safe without him"
"Yeah and if he ever decides to show his face around here again we'll be ready" Kai says
"And next time, we'll be a little more humble" Cole continues
"And a little more wise" Zane adds
"And with better catchphrases" Jay says
They all start laughing but Lloyd. Misako sees Lloyd frowning.
"Me will all miss your father" Misako comforts him
From behind them, Garmadon emerges from a pile of rocks and approaches them limping. He has been purified by Golden Power.
"Lloyd" Garmadon calls out "What... what happened?"
They turn around to face him.
"Garmadon, is it really you?" Misako asks
"Dad? Dad!" Lloyd runs and embraces him.
"Every ounce of evil and venom is... gone" Misako embraces Garmadon.
"I feel good. It's been so long" Garmadon says
Wu smiles "Good to have you back, brother"
"Wu! Good to be back" Garmadon says happily
As the family walked away the other ninjas grouped together
"Aw, would you look at that? Who would have thought we'd ever see the day? You think we should dogpile them?" Jay questions
"Let's give them their moment. They earned it" Kai replies
"It's been quite a ride" Cole sighs
"Mhm" Aria nods
"You think there will be others?" Zane asks
"I hope so. I liked being a ninja. It's not like we have many other skills" Cole replies
Jay laughs "Ha, speak for yourself, I'm looking forward to doing a little inventing, maybe some model building, dabble in poetry—"
"Dont forget your master degree in annoyance" Aria comments innocently
"Exactly" Jay agrees without thinking "wait- Aria!"
"What?" Aria asks confused
The others laughed.
"But Jay's right. We've come a long way and there's no reason why we can't use what we've learned in our everyday lives. And who knows? We may have gotten the balance right today, but there's always tomorrow. There's no way of knowing what's around the corner. But as long as there's something worth fighting for, there's always a need for a ninja. And we'll be ready" Kai says
Aria and the 4 boys put their hands together "Ninja go!"
