I look around at April and Casey. Casey is in his normal gear while April is in a black gi, much like mine, only her's has a soft yellow mask.

"Are you ready?" I ask. They both nod and I take a deep breath.

'Spirit of Hope, I must call on your great power once more,' I say in my mind. The Spirit of Hope is the holder of the Power of Change, my elemental power. I gave it up to save my brothers, but I can call on Spirit to let me use it from time to time.

'Yes, my dear child,' a soft motherly voice answers. I let out a sigh of relief at that sound.   

'I must use the power of Change once more, my lady,' I say. 

'What will you give me in return?' Spirit asks. I take another deep breath and begin. 

'I am willing give up my body to hold the power of the element of Change. To understand its wonderful power and responsibilities,' I say.

'And what will you use it for?'

'To return to the place of my birth once more, to save the ones I care for and call my brothers and bring them back home,' I say.

'What of the other two?' she asks.

'April O'Neil will need power to protect herself and the child in her womb,' I say.

'Then she will be the care giver of the power of Love. The element of Peace will coarse through her for the rest of her days. Her child will be born with the same power,' Spirit says.

'Thank you,' I say and wait for the feel of the power coming back to me.

The rush of my memories, tainted by the things I wish I could've changed. I whisper the thing I wish I could change the most. I feel the slight pain of my mark return to the skin of my lower back. Its a dragon holding onto a yin yang symbol.

I open my eyes and look around. Everyone is okay. April is rubbing her back gently, but other then that appears to be just fine.

I pull out a mirror and look into it. My pale purple eyes are now bright purple, filled with flecks of black. The colors of Change.

"Now, We're ready to go to Ninjago to get my brothers back," I say, spinning the small black  band with the purple dragon around my left ring finger. I can't help but pull it off and look at the engraving on the inside of the band. 

"Constant as earth, shifting as change," It reads. I think of the first part. Earth, Cole, my love. I wish I could fix his broken heart that I caused.
