The Omega stands in front of the blackened Realm Crystal, with me and Garmadon in a fighting stance before him.
"So, this is the Realm of the First Spinjitzu Master? Soon, their power will be gone. Forever." The Omega told
"Power?" I ask slowly turning to Garmadon.
"Father, what is he talking about?"
"What do you think? Power of your grandfather, the power of Creation."
The Omega holds his fist at us. "Soon, there will be nothing, but Destruction." He points his staff at Garmadon. "You. You are Oni. Why have you not taken this realm?"
Garmadon looks at me while I just glare at him. He seemed very taken aback by this question. "Well, I... it's complicated." I watched as his face changed. "Enough talk. Let's get this over with."
I immediately do Spinjitzu. "Ha-aahh!!" The Omega whips his staff against me, throwing him back against the wall. I groans and slump to the ground.
The Omega swings his staff wildly at Garmadon. He tries to dodge it, but is struck down. He groans and gets up, chuckling. "Is that the worst you can do? I'm growing bored." He summons his power and throws it at the Omega. The Omega blocks it, and it bounces back. Garmadon ducks down, and it creates a hole in the wall behind us.
I get up and Garmadon looks back at The Omega fearfully. The Omega jumps up, twirling, and lands near me, striking me against another wall. "Don't just sit there. Get up and fight!"
I get up angrily and run at the Omega again, but he swings his staff around, knocking me back through the hole. I crash into a podium, and the Sword of Sanctuary falls out.
I gasp, looking into the sword. "The Sword of Sanctuary. The future is reflected in its blade." I get up with a smirk. "Try that again." I flip through the hole, and leap at the Omega. The Omega throws darkness, wrapping me in it. "Huh?"
The Omega throws me into the air and strikes me with the staff against the wall. "Guess they don't care much about the future." I slowly get up summoning power to try and push him back. "I'm getting tired of this."
"So am I! How did you ever defeat me in the first place?" Garmadon asks as I shove my power into the Omega.
I run to the crystal and The Omega turns around and throws his darkness at me, but I slide underneath, slicing at the darkness, and flip, smashing the Realm Crystal into pieces. I smile landing.
"Took you long enough." Garmadon replied
"Oh, come on! That was awesome!" I jump up in anger going beside my father
"It was adequate." Garmadon shrugged
"Fool!" The Omega slams the staff on the ground. "The Realm Crystal was merely the key in which we opened the gateway. Destroying it will accomplish nothing."
I turn to Garmadon. "You said it would stop them!"
"Well I..."
"Well, what?" I shoot back
"I thought it would work!" Garmadon defended
"Well, you thought wrong!" The Omega slams his staff on the ground repeatedly, summoning for the Oni to appear. Oni slowly rise out from the ground, and take their formation.
"Maybe we should consider another tactic." Garmadon dashes for the hole, with me close behind. I throw my power back and Garmadon throws his power at the walls repeatedly, while the Oni chase us around.
Garmadon throws his power at a wall, but it does not go through all the way. "What are you waiting for?! Blast a hole into the next vault!" I yell
"There aren't any more vaults! Bedrock. No way through." Garmadon informed
I point to the left of us. "Try that wall!" Garmadon blasts at the wall, but it does not break through. The Oni come through the hole we made and slowly approach us.
I run at them, trying to fight them, but am overwhelmed seconds later, losing the Sword of Sanctuary.
"I want you to know I blame you for all of this." Garmadon confessed
"Me?! This is your plan!" We back up slowly as the Oni approach us. The Oni then stop coming forward, terrified of the light. "Why aren't they attacking us?" I turn around and look at the source of the light. I tap Garmadon to take a look.
"The Armor of the Golden Master!" We both say as I take the armor out and walks toward the Oni holding it out. The Oni back away, growling in fear.
"Look at them. They fear it!" Garmadon spoke
I continue shoving the armor in the Onis' faces. "It was forged from the Four Weapons of Spinjitzu. They should!"
"Haha! Back! Nice try!" The Omega stands on the hole and growls.
"It's not working too well on that one." I shove the armor at the Omega. "Yah!" The Omega blocks the light with his arm and growls.
"Heh. Well enough." Garmadon commented
The Omega backs away as I continues to pursue him with the armor. "You are only delaying the inevitable. More and more of us are coming. We will destroy you!"
"Not today, you won't!" I yell and trip over backwards letting go of the armor. The Omega and the Oni jump through and try to get me.
Garmadon blocks the Oni with the armor. "Back! Get up!" We slowly back out the way we came from, holding the armor out in front of us. "Okay, on three, we run. One, two, three!"
We both sprint for the elevator door. The Oni chase after us, with the darkness snaking up on the walls. Garmadon jumps up to the next, with me behind. We both race out the building, with many Oni chasing after us.
I talk into my radio. "Zane! Nya! Get us out of here! Lower the zip lines. Lower the zip lines!"
"Y/n, I'm standing by for your extraction. Locking onto your coordinates now!" P.I.X.A.L informed
"P.I.X.? Where's the Bounty?" I ask
"They are attending to a distress call. I remained behind in case of an emergency. I have your coordinates. I'm on my way."
"No! You can't enter the cloud! We have no idea what it would do to you!" I shout
"I am a Nindroid. I should be able to withstand the cloud's effects."
"We don't know that!" I defend
"As you once said, we're about to find out." P.I.X.A.L. says
Garmadon and me run away with the Oni chasing us
"Where are you, P.I.X.A.L.?! We need you! P.I.X.A.L.!" I yell in distress
"I am in bound. Brace for extraction. And Y/n?" She asked
"Yeah." I reply out of breath
"We're only going to get one shot at this. I'm almost out of fuel."
"I understand. We're ready." I state
Me and Garmadon run across a bridge, only to find more Oni running towards us on the other side. The Omega slams his staff down, giving the command to attack. Surrounded with Oni on both sides, we fight.
As the Oni close in, they try to attack more violently. P.I.X.A.L. manages to grab Garmadon and me out of the swarm of Oni.
"Nice, P.I.X.A.L.! Whoa! Tower, tower, tower!" P.I.X.A.L. strains to fly upwards, scraping against the tower. P.I.X.A.L. manages to fly straight up into the air.
"Zane! Nya! This is P.I.X.A.L. I have Y/n and Garmadon, but we are low on fuel. We need a little help. Where are you guys?!"
Automated Response: "Warning: One percent remaining. One percent."
Automated Response: "Warning: One percent remaining. One percent."
"Hang on, guys!" I smile as we break above the cloud of darkness.
The Samurai X Mech beeps frequently in warning. P.I.X.A.L. looks around for the Destiny's Bounty, and sees they are a distance away from it. She zooms for the Bounty.
Automated Response: "Fuel reserves: Zero percent. Zero percent. Engine failure." Fumes die out in the mech. "Eject. Eject. Eject. Eject. Eject. Eject. Eject." Me and Garmadon look at each other in worry. P.I.X.A.L. frantically pushes buttons. "Eject." The mech slowly falls towards the ground.
"I am sorry. I tried."
Me and Garmadon look down sadly. But our faces light up as the Destiny's Bounty appears below. "Brace for impact!" Garmadon and me both grunt as the mech crashes down.
"Y/n, are you okay?" Lloyd asks helping me up
"Yeah. Yeah. I think so." I say panting out of breath
"So am I. Nobody has to worry about me." Garmadon wipes himself up.
I turn to look at the ninja and sees their faces. "What? What is it?" The ninja stare sadly at me.
"Where's Cole?" The ninja look away and Nya's lip starts to quiver. "Where's Cole?" I grab Kai but he doesn't reply. "Somebody say something." I look at Nya. "Where's Cole?!"
Zane turns me around. "He... H-he's gone."
"What do you mean gone?" I ask
"Y/n. He fell... into the cloud." Kai replied
"I... I'm so sorry." Nya spoke coming up to me
"He's... He's really... gone?" I stutter out
"It was my fault. I pulled the thrust lever the wrong way, and..." Nya starts to sob.
Jay and Kai comfort her. "It wasn't your fault. It was an accident."
I look down not knowing how to deal with my emotions. I feel sadness and anger even though I know I shouldn't feel mad at Nya right now I can't help it.
"Okay, let's get going." Garmadon's interrupts walking up to me
"Do you mind?!" I shout pushing him back
"Yes, I do." He pulls his hands up in fury. "We are wasting valuable time! All that matters now is this." He holds up the armor.
Kai looks at it surprised. "The Golden Armor."
"What about the Realm Crystal?" Zane asks
Garmadon sighs angrily. "It didn't work, but this will! They fear it."
"Cole was our friend. He was more than a friend, to me he was my Yin. But you don't understand that, do you?" Garmadon gives me an annoyed look "What's the point? You're never gonna get it! Because you don't care about anyone, but yourself!"
"Every moment you delay risks our survival!" Garmadon's shouts
"There's more to life than SURVIVING!! AUGH!!" I scream and stomp off in anger.
***
I was walking down the hallway trying to clear my mind of Cole but everywhere I looked he was there. "What could possibly be more important than survival?" I hear my fathers voice from down the hall, who's he talking to?
"Oh, well. Lots of things. Friendship, man, and-and-and love, and harmony, and trust, and truth, and courage, and you know, all the stuff that makes life worthwhile. Without those, I mean, what's the point? Right?" I hear the voice of Vinny from NGTV News.
"Huh. Indeed. You may leave now, Vinny of NGTV News." Vinny leaves the room going the opposite direction he didn't even notice me.
I simply have no words. Did my comment earlier actually make him think?
