Outside the vault, the medics load Callen into the back of an ambulance van before Geoff, who was still carrying Amelia, and Seliel emerge from the vault to join them while some pushed Small-Bangs' wrapped up body on a gurney into another and all the officers were taking away the Yether Age clan members, either in squad cars, vans or even busses that they had to commandeer from the local bus company as there were lots of them. "This sure is a lot of them." Jimmy said as he moved Sharpocroc onto a bus.

"Yeah, but not as much as the Sons of Garmadon." Caine replied.

"Oh, they were the worst."

"Yeah, can you believe they even took over the city, just last month?"

"How time flies."

"Thankfully, it was over within two weeks. And we all have not just the Ninja, but Hayden to thank for it as well."

"Hayden?"

"You know, Mantis. Just found out his real name, might start going by it, from now on."

"They'll be some who will still call him, Mantis, though."

"Whatever you like to call me isn't relevant at the moment." Hayden was heard as they see him come up to them with Sai-Feng. "All that matters is that we get these crazy worshippers where they belong." He forces Sai-Feng inside. "Kryptarium Prison."

"Of course." Caine replied before heads inside before closing the bus door to drive away.

Gewuji came over to him and Jimmy, who walks away. "You found out your real name?" She asked.

"I did." He replied. "Hayden Finlay Salvos."

"Hey, it's just as what I heard them said. And I will still call you Mantis."

"Thanks, Gewuji. Anyway, we're still searching the jungle for Chongbai, but they're just gonna end up lost as well."

"Well, don't give up. Ninja never quit, and neither should cops. Remember that, Hayden Finlay Salvos." Gewuji started to walk away as Hayden watched her.

"I will." Hayden soon walked away, unaware that Chongbai looks on from behind some bushes before quickly taking off.

Several days later, at the hospital, Callen, in a medical garb, sits in bed while holding Amelia as the Ninja and Seliel were in the room. The Ninja had removed their warm jackets, gloves and boots, wearing their Ninja Runners again, and Geoff was back in his active wear as well. "You really didn't have to be here for us." Callen said as she looked at them. "Seliel's here, and I'm okay."

"I know, but not all of us got to see the baby at least once." Lloyd replied.

"Thanks."

"Plus, Chongbai is still out there." Callen sighed upon hearing the news. "Don't worry though, Callen. We have his people behind bars and got Ouroborus under surveillance if he comes back to it.

"That's good. I just hope he doesn't get anywhere my daughter." She then turned to Geoff. "Oh, Geoff, there has been something I wanted to do ever since I saw you again."

"Really, uh, what?" He asked.

"I want you to be Amelia's godfather."

"Of course." He then placed a hand on Amelia's cheek to rub it gently.

"I, uh... also made Faith her godmother. She came by earlier, and was happy to accept the title... even though she was at first confused by the word. Even liked this little one's full name." She looks at Amelia with a smile. "Amelia Faith Revelle."

"Did your father come by?"

"He's on his way over as we speak." Seliel said. "But I think it's probably best if you weren't here for his visit."

"I guess so. I did leave on bad terms."

"And in other news, the crime wave of worshippers is over." Gayle Gossip was heard on a nearby TV before Cole turns it up. On the TV as Gayle was standing close to a podium where Hayden was. "We are live just outside Ninjago City Police Station where Officer Mantis Trudogolik, who was recently been identified as former Senator Theochet Pantub's nephew, identified as Hayden Salvos, to explain how well the operation went."

"Go for it, Mantis." Gewuji said.

"Thought you were gonna call him by his real name." Lloyd replied. "Now that he knows who he truly is."

"Hey, no matter what, he will always be Mantis to me."

"And to all of us." Kai said.

"Officer Salvos, you were part of the task force that arrested almost all the members of the Yether Age clan, how many arrests were made?" Delbert E asked.

"Around 84 members, some were killed resisting arrest, and some are still on the run." Hayden replied. "As of this moment, our top priority is searching for Chongbai Yether, descendant of First Emperor Yether, the creator of the Departed Realm."

"And where is his current location now?"

"Undetermined because he managed to make his escape through Hiroshi's Labyrinth. But we believe that he is going up to Pax Mountain where Master Yether was buried."

"Now, the operation itself, apart from the arrests, wasn't there a pregnant woman among the Ninja?" Delbert PO asked.

"That is correct, Delbert. At the moment, she is at the Ninjago Hospital, resting after giving birth to her daughter. The father was a member, who was pronounced deceased by the Ninja once the operation was a success, but not during the raid."

"And is it true that the Blind Ninja is alive?" Delbert E asked.

"Yes, he is. By means of the last artefact of Yether. The Staff of Vivifica."

"Offi... Officer Salvos." Delbert said. "Was it tremendously exciting...tremendously exciting for the many arrests of the members, high quality of force used and the tremendous, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous birth of the targeted woman's baby girl?" He starts hyperventilating as Hayden and the other reporters back away as a splash of water hits Delbert. "Oh, I needed that."

"Well, Delbert, to answer your question, the woman and child are recovering and wish to respectfully be left alone for the time being. That is all, no more questions." He walks away as the reporters keep asking questions.

It soon cuts back to the news room. "Now, we'll be bringing more later on, but it is now time to check the weather and-" Gayle was no longer heard as the TV was soon shut off.

"You know, you can get going if you want." Callen said, having been the one to turn the TV off as she was holding the remote.

"Are you sure?" Nya asked.

"Yeah. Chongbai won't be after me since Amelia is born and he'll most likely find someone else's baby to use."

"Which will take forever." Gewuji said as they soon got up and left while Callen looked at Amelia. "By then, he'll have been caught."

"You know, you have your daddy's eyes." Amelia smiles in her sleep.

At the monastery, Dragon comes out to see Faith picking up a rucksack from the ground after looking at the mural wall and puts it over her shoulder. "I suppose you'll be leaving to return to the First Realm?" He asked.

"Yes, I have enjoyed Ninjago enough, and I hope that some day, the others come see it for themselves." She replied.

"I'm sorry that Hayden and my Ninja will not be seeing you leave."

"I know. And tell Callen that I'm glad to be her daughter's godmother."

--------

At Pax Mountain, Chongbai, wearing a black parka, moves up the path while holding the staff close to himself. "I may not have the baby being born as a boy, but I can still use myself since I am a descendant of Yether." He said as he soon came across the tomb. "Soon, we will be merged." He heads inside.

--------

In Yether's tomb, Chongbai comes up to the statue with the medallion around his neck, holding the dagger in one hand and holding the staff in the other. "Emperor of Ninjago, it is time for your long awaited return." He said to the statue before placing the staff into the statue's left hand and then the dagger in the other hand before placing the medallion into the chest of the statue. They soon glow as Chongbai laughed. "Yes! Open the portal to the Departed Realm! Rip open the fabric of space and time! Bring out Master Yether!" Chongbai immediately backed away and held his arms out. "Rocan, Tuer, Brother, Trege..." As he recited the spell, the statue starts to crack, and the cracks start glowing gold. "...Kirbu, Pelmur, Buscer, Reb!"

The statue soon glowed before it cracks all over and glowed gold all over before exploding. As the glowing faded away, Chongbai looked on to see Yether, who is wearing the medallion, and holding the staff and dagger. "What have you done?" He asked.

"You think you rest forever, but I want your power."

"No!" Yether immediately raised the staff, but Chongbai grabs hold of the end.

"I will now have your soul!" He soon started to glow as his skin started to glow purple and Yether's spirit moves into Chongbai. As the glow dispersed, Chongbai laughed as he held the staff and dagger while wearing the medallion. As he looked at the weapons, he saw his hands were completely black, followed by an extra set of arms and looked through the dagger's shiny reflection to see he was now an Oni. "This new power is amazing." He soon laughed evilly.

--------

In Ninjago City, the Ninja walk along the city as some of the civilians were amazed at seeing Geoff on the streets, despite his death and resurrection. "Look, son!" A familiar man said to his son, pointing to the Ninja from the other side of the road. "The blind one's alive!"

"Yeah right, dad." The boy sarcastically replied, not looking up from his phone. "Badmouthing the dead." He soon looked up, and was surprised. "He is alive!"

"So, what do you think we should do to celebrate this victory?" Gewuji asked.

"Plan for our wedding for a start." Geoff replied, putting an arm around Maggie.

"Oh, right, that." Jay said.

"Actually, we have to replan it since Geoff died, and everything was cancelled." Maggie replied.

"Where would you like to get married at?"

"Where else?" Geoff asked. "Zane's statue."

"Second wedding at my statue." Zane, in his cloaked form, said. "Say, Blake, what happened to Notata?"

"I decided not to put her in a zoo and let her return to her home at Primeval's Eye." Blake replied. "I couldn't let her have photos been taken of her when cameras would have flash photography."

Rumbling was soon heard. "What's that sound?" Cole asked.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Kai replied.

They notice a nearby TV store before heading over to it to see Gayle peeking around the corner of an alleyway before turning back to Vinny. "An unidentified creature, believed to be an Oni, has been spotted in the middle of the city." She said. "Vinny, move close, get a shot."

Vinny slowly does so and peeks out to the middle of the street, showing Chongbai as an Oni. "Who's that?" Blake asked.

"Chongbai." Lloyd replied. "He used the medallion, dagger and staff to complete the ceremony, on himself."

"People of Ninjago, this realm will be mine!" He said on the TV. "And you will all bow down to the Yether Age clan!" He soon raised the staff high. "Fallen brothers and sisters of Yether Age, return to me!" The TV soon emits static before the sky starts to turn dark purple, and they all look up to it as white bolts of lightning start appearing from the sky and something starts to form in the sky.

At the monastery, as Faith was about to board Firstbourne, they all soon look at the dark sky and become shocked. "Chongbai." Dragon said.
