In Ninjago, Garmadon uses the Colossus to destroy buildings on its way to our location.
"Guys, we need to go! Pronto!" Dareth panicked
"Skylor, you have to wake up!" Lloyd yelled to her
"We have to run." Nya advised
"Run? One of us can't even stand!" Dareth protested
"Let's move!" I decided putting Skylor's arm around my shoulder
We look back to see the Colossus hammer a blow on the building and immediately run to jump at the building next to ours.
"Jump, Dareth!" Nya screamed as another car is thrown at us. Dareth screams and jumps to building. He slips, grabbing hold of the edge in the last second. Nya jumps, landing with a small twirl on the next building. She grabs Dareth before he falls over. Lloyd was next landing beside the others while I tried to think of something
"Throw her over!" Nya yelled
"That's not going to work." I say and jump into the air as the Colossus punches the building. I land on the Colossus's fist. Garmadon sees me and tries to throw me off. But I run across the fist, landing on the building with Nya, Lloyd and Dareth.
"Y/n! Yes!" Dareth cheered as the Colossus roars and everyone runs away through an aisle to stop at another street. I put Skylor down.
Gayle: On TV. "Everyone should leave the city at once! Nowhere is safe!"
"Ever since Garmadon lost Harumi, he's lost his marbles!" Dareth spoke
"Dareth's right. He's not going to stop until he finds us." Nya agreed
"I know." Lloyd acknowledged
"There's only one thing that can withstand that. I ditched the Battle Wagon across town. If we can get to it... we can leave the city." Nya told
"Leave the city?!" I blurt out
"Just until things calm down." Nya assured
"Y/n, I'm with Nya. Mystake said we needed to survive until the ninja got back. Well, where are they, huh? There's no shame in knowing when to turn tail." Dareth explained making me sigh and I looked to Lloyd who nodded
"Okay, we go for the Battle Wagon. But we're not skipping town. We hold on for as long as we can." I say and the groups nods running off. I looked up to the sky. "Where are you guys?"
***
"The battle wagon is just up ahead." Nya spoke up, almost instantly we realize the quietness, and turn around to find Ultra Violet on the phone looking at them in surprise.
Ultra Violet smiles evilly, dropping the phone and runs to us, calling out mockingly. "Heh heh. Nin-ja!"
"Go. Get to the battle wagon." Nya stated to me
"No. We stay together." I dismissed
"Not this time. Now, go!" Nya yelled
"Get outta my way, Water Lily!" A fight breaks out between them.
"If you wanna help Nya, we need the battle wagon." Dareth put in as me and Lloyd carry Skylor off to the battle wagon.
*5 minutes later*
UV gets ready to destroy Nya, but gets hit by the battle wagon. "Nya!" I get out of the battle wagon with Lloyd to lift the car off of her. "Are you hurt?"
"My shoulder." She pants heavily, holding her shoulder. "It's pretty bad."
"Let's get her to the battle wagon." Lloyd nodded
On the other side, Ultra Violet recovers only to find the mask split apart. She throws a fit on her way to the us.
"Does she ever quit?" Nya breathed out
We watch Ultra Violent wobble and eventually fall down. Sons of Garmadon gang drive in and surround the rest of the Resistance.
Suddenly vortex opens. Everyone gasps, looking up to see Dragons flying out.
My earpiece beeps and I can hear the ninja
"You're coming in loud and clear, brother." Nya smiled
"Nya?! Oh, you're alright." Jay sighed out happily
"Oh... I don't know about that, but we could use a little help." Nya admitted sheepishly
"I've located their transmission." Zane informed
"Lead the way." Master Wu spoke as Zane leads the way, freezing most of the SoG members.
"The ninja are back!" Dareth shouted bowing down to the ground
"And with very large dragons." Nya added as a Wind Dragon approaches me nudging with her head. "Aww okay you're cute." I grin but frown turning to Jay's dragon. "Don't think I forgot what you did."
The dragon whined in sadness making Jay sad. "Y/n don't hurt my dragons feelings! He's very sensitive."
I rolled my eyes at both their behaviors and watch the rest of the SoG gang run away, screaming, while the dragons scare them off.
Lloyd laughs. "We did it! We held out!" Firstbourne lands and Wu backflips on to the ground.
"Is that?" Lloyd breathed out
"Master Wu?" Nya asked slowly
"Not toddler anymore... noted." I comment
"When I was an old man, I was wise to avoid a fight. But today, I'm not an old man." He informed with a smile
Everyone runs up to each other giving hugs. "Oh, look at us! The gang is back!" Cole gushed
"But where are P.I.X.A.L. and Misako?" Zane asked
"Locked away in Kryptarium." Lloyd informed making Zane frown and Dareth brings in Skylor.
"Skylor! What happened?" Kai freaked out running up to her
"She tapped into Garmadon's power. It was too much for her to bear." Lloyd told
"But I think we can save her, if we stop my father." I added
"Have you unlocked your true potential?" Master Wu asked me
"Yeah like a long time ago..." I trail off unsure why he was asking me this
"No, not your wind, your Oni." Master Wu said
"I- I can't give in to that kind of power Master." I stuttered out in shame
"You must! If we are to defeat Garmadon." Master Wu spoke
"Well... you know better then anyone. What holds me back? Tell me and I will face it." I speak out
"It's always the same thing." Master Wu chuckled lightly
"That being?" I question
"Accept your father. Accept, Y/n, that Garmadon is your father."
"Oh believe I have accepted it." I rolled my eyes in frustration
"No you haven't." Master Wu shook his head
"No. I do. I really do."
"Your true potential as always will come when the time is right."
"Of course it will." I reply with a facepalm
Master Wu throws me a sword as Garmadon continues to use the Colossus to destroy as many buildings as he can. People run away, screaming for their lives.
"Ninja, can you stop the Colossus?" Master Wu asked
"We've learned a thing or two about taking down giants." Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole run to their dragons.
"Lloyd, Nya, and Dareth, keep Skylor safe. Y/n... you must confront your father." He ordered
"I've survived without my true potential, but I don't know if I can stop him." I admit
"You may be without true potential, but you are not without me." Master Wu told with a hand on my shoulder. On the ride, Master Wu winces in pain.
"What's wrong?"
"My brother. I feel his rage."
Firstbourne drops Master Wu and me off on the roof of borg tower, then flies off. It wasn't the same it gave off such dark energy. I spot a purple light and Master Wu nods, giving the signal to go up.
"My family." Garmadon's voice echoed making me and Master Wu immediately stop and hold up our weapons. "My enemies. You may have Father's sword, but now my power will surpass his." Garmadon lands, behind us opening his eyes.
Master Wu and me take a fighting stance. As Garmadon uses his power to create his own four destruction daggers.
Master Wu and me immediately charge at him. Everyone was trying to land a bow yet no one was successful.
"What have you become?!" Master Wu asked as Garmadon used his powers to fling me across the roof onto a rock
"Time has treated you well. You think Father's sword can hurt me?" Garmadon questioned
Master Wu grunts. "No. But it can hold you!"
I jump down to join the fight, but Firstbourne dramatically raises her head. Master Wu drops his sword and backs away. I watched as Firstbourne sprays out her fire at Garmadon, who slowly absorbs the power to fuel himself.
"Don't you get it?!" He conjures his power again. "The fight is what fuels me!"
"Y/n, take cover!" Me and Master Wu run for cover. But Garmadon blasts Master Wu and Firstbourne from the tower with his power.
Atop the tower, I managed to grab on to the edge of the roof.
"Hello, daughter. And farewell. How long can you endure?"
Time to listen to your own lessons Y/n. "I thought the fight is what fueled you. Is this how you fight?" I remarked as he glared at me, then he picks me up and throws me to the ground,
"If only Father could see me now." Garmadon smiled picking up firstbourns blade. A fight commences between the two of us. I quickly dodge one of Garmadon's attacks.
"This isn't what your father wanted Ninjago to be. He left his world to make a better place. He fought to restore the balance!" I defended
"Ninjago isn't built on balance! It's built on... power! And controlled by he who possesses it!" He yelled back swinging his sword at me violently
I knock the Dragonbone Blade out of Garmadon's hands and switch my sword for it. "I know Lloyd would say, no matter what you've done, or what you've become, You can change! But we both know that's not true."
"Your brother is naive." Garmadon spat conjuring dark power. I was about to charge at him, but a scene flashed before my eyes.
*Flashback*
"I could use a strong fighter like you at my dojo, teaching kids the ninja way." My father said with a smile as we continued our walk through the forest
"I don't know dad..." I trailed off watching the birds mingle with each other and the wind blow by us
"I suppose I can't force you."
After a few moments of silence I finally asked the burning question in me. "Dad, do you think people can change?"
"What is sparking this question?" He chuckled at the end as I sat down on a rock, him sitting beside me
"It's just Cole liking Nya and everything, then losing Zane I don't know what to do anymore. And please don't bring up how I should go see Lloyd. Because he is the last person I want to see." I ranted not making eye contact
"I believe people can change." He nodded, then added "in a sense."
"I need some time away dad. To find myself, I need to change something within me. I feel like I'm not complete."
"Y/n you don't need to change anything." My father comforted, then took a breath. "The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects the winds to change, the realist adjusts the sails. Which are you?"
I sat there quietly thinking. "I am..."
"You don't need to tell me, I just want you to think on it."
"I think I'm leaving tomorrow." I answered shocking my father. "It's not you, I just need to be alone." I spoke getting up and making my way back.
"Y/n!" My father called. "I won't stop you, but you must forgive people. Do not hold onto the anger from yourself or Cole. It wasn't to long ago you extend your forgiveness to me."
*End of Flashback*
"Forgiveness..." I whispered as Garmadon strikes the sword out of my hands letting it fly off the building. He then used his purple energy to knock me to the ground.
"Get up and fight me. Get up! Fight me!"
"No. It's the fight that fuels you. I can not fight you... but I can resist you and forgive you." I say and dodge his attacks. "Lloyd was right father! A long time ago you told me people can change!"
"Stop!" He screamed his powers dimming
"I can not fight you, but I can resist you." I repeat dodging the rocks he threw. "I can not fight you, but I can resist you!"
I watched as my father screamed in anger, losing all his power. "I can not fight you, but I can resist you." I stated and Garmadon's powers disappear.
"My power... where is it?"
My eyes glowed purple all around purple energy surround me. "I found my true potential." I mumbled a small smile across my face
"You still have to finish it." Garmadon said kneeling down
"It's over." I tell him putting my power away and walking up to him
"It's not over. But when they come, it will be. My power... It was the only thing that could battle back the darkness from devouring us all. But you took that away. And now everything will be gone." He told making me look around
"Who will come?" I questioned
"You'll see. And when they come, nothing will be left." My dad promised
***
"Do you have room for one more?" I ask the police officer showing Garmadon to them.
"Y/n!" Kai yelled in glee all the ninja running up to me
"Man! I can't believe it! Oh, yeah!" Jay exclaimed
"Garmadon's power is gone. The balance is restored." Nya spoke
"Thank you, ninja, for saving Ninjago. Again." The commissioner said
***
"Just another day in Ninjago. I wonder what tomorrow holds?" Kai asked
"It holds a lot of work, Kai." Jay groaned as I cleaned up palace rumble
"We saved Ninjago. Can't we get a day off?" Cole asked
"We helped break it, we help rebuild it." Lloyd stated
"Ninja! Trouble! Come quick!" Master Wu yelled, he was back to his old self again
"Already?" I whine
"I'm still sore from our last adventure." Jay remarked as Master Wu leads us outside, where everyone is celebrating.
"I already thanked you, but the people want to thank you also." Commissioner said as everyone cheered for us
"The fireworks are about to be set off!" A citizen cheered, making me jump up to the roof to get a better view
I watched as all the colors explode in the night sky. "Room for one more?" Someone asked and I turned around to see Cole
"I don't know, I was kinda saving this spot for someone else. He's kind of a jerk, but I know he means well." I remarked watching Cole's face drop. "Oh...okay I will leave."
I sighed shaking my head at him. "I'm talking about you!"
He then thought about it before gasping in realization. "I guess I am kind of a jerk... but I need to let you know... I'm sorry, the whole time in the First Realm, I worried about you constantly. Because I'm still in love with you Y/n. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course I can forgive you. Because I love you too Cole." I smiled as he picked me up and spun me around into a hug. "But if you ever leave me for dead again, I will never get back with you." I threatened as he put me down nodding nervously
