Chapter 19: A Djinn's Reunion
Nya was surprised, and annoyed at the same time, when she saw the being that had numerously called her by the name of the Misfortune's Keep's deceased quartermaster and its captain's lover, the one responsible for framing her and the other former Ninja, manipulated Jay to make his first two wishes, and forced to marry, until she was killed by Tiger Widow venom, resulting in Jay inadvertently using his final wish to save her, and rewind time, leaving just the two of them, and Wu, the only ones that remember the events. "What do you want?" She asked, backing away.
"How lovely to see you again." He spoke as he started to come up to her until Jay stood between them, holding his arms out wide.
"Back off!" He said.
"Ah, the junkyard boy. So, you married her."
"I definitely have. And we have two kids to show for it."
He scoffs. "I knew the young samurai was your son. Just like you, but he has his mother's eyes. But I feel like there is something he isn't telling you."
"I sort of agree." Joan said. "All of a sudden, he gained the Elemental Power of Water."
"He has my Element now?" Nya asked. "But how did you unlock your True Potential?"
"When Acronix stabbed Joan and wished you and the Elemental Masters into the teapot, I fought him, and it ended up destroyed, killing you all." Cliff explained. Once he mentioned the first sentence, this got them all to become shocked. "I made my first wish to have Nadakhan to stop listening to Acronix." He turns to see some officers drag a cuffed Acronix, who is struggling with them and muttering a lot of cusses, into a police car. "Once his final wish was denied, we fought until he knocked me into the canal. I thought I was gonna die, but I remembered what dad taught me about mom being a samurai, along with what the old woman said, and I unlocked my True Potential." He conjures a ball of water to show them all, surprising them. "But when I used it, I ended up drowning him, and I felt like I have become a monster because of him. As I mourned Joan, I made my second wish, and now, here we are."
"But how was Acronix unable to use his powers?" Jay asked.
"Because I wished to have them for myself." Minnie was heard from behind the father of her boyfriend, causing him to yelp, and moved away from her. "Now I have all three primary modes of Time, I have succeeded my father."
"Those eyes." Nadakhan said, coming closer to see Minnie's green eyes. "They are Dilara's."
"You mean my great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother?"
"Dilara had a child? Who is the child's father?"
"Perhaps that is something she can explain herself." Cliff said, coming between them. "And that is my final wish." Gold specks started to appear around him as he was about to say his final wish. "I wish for you to reunite with your loved one."
Nadakhan gasped, too shocked to say the sentence before a vortex started forming near them. The blast from the expanding vortex started blowing around, almost sending them flying away as the vortex started form into a portal. They all look on to see a middle aged woman, almost identical to Nya, but with green eyes and lighter lips, emerging from the portal before soon smiling at him. "Dilara?"
"Nadakhan, darling." She said, coming up to him and they immediately hugged.
"I... I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything. Just... be happy that I get to see you again." They stopped hugging and look at each other. "And now, we can be together again."
"I..." He soon sheds a tear. "I would like that."
"And, there was something I wanted to show you. Proof that this girl..." She holds her hand out to Minnie "...is our descendant."
"'Our descendant'?" Dilara turns to the portal to see a middle aged man emerge from it. He was like a normal human, but had Nadakhan's eye colour on the left while having Dilara's on the right. "We had a son?"
"Before I died, there was a kind couple who nursed me to health and delivered our son. After I passed on and he came to the Departed Realm as a very old man, told me about life, almost making me wish I never passed. But, as years went by for Ninjago, and your descendants appearing, I felt that Minerva Tempus was among the living."
"As I grew up, I kept hearing stories about my ancestor, the great pirate, Nadakhan the Djinn." Minnie explained. "My grandmother always told me stories about how her grandfather was shunned upon for being the son of a fearless pirate." As she was speaking, Minnie came up next to Cliff and got out her necklace, shocking Nadakhan. "Ancestor Nadakhan, this necklace was the very first gift that you gave Dilara, wasn't it?"
"Yes." Nadakhan replied, coming up to her and looked at the necklace.
"And I suppose you want Dilara to have it back."
Dilara smiled as she came up to her. "It was passed down for generations." She said as she looked at the necklace. "Keep it, Minerva. I have what I need right here." She comes up to Nadakhan as their son turned to the portal as it started to spiral out of control.
"Mother, we must make haste." He said before heading through it.
"Ah, it is time." Dilara and Nadakhan head over to the portal and prepare to go through it when Dilara turned to them, but was looking at Cliff, the boy responsible for reuniting her with her lover. "Thank you." He smiled as Dilara looked back at Nadakhan and held out her hand. He takes it before smiling at her, and they head into the portal, disappearing to the Departed Realm before the portal started to disappear and everyone covered their eyes as it faded away. As they look at the now clear sky, Minnie moved her hand into Cliff's, who then turned to her, and they smile at each other while he clutched his wound.
------
Several days had now passed since Acronix was defeated, Nadakhan reuniting with Dilara and Cliff revealing that he was Samurai I to the public. Acronix was sentenced to life in Kryptarium Prison and was denied any appeals or parole. Cole was promoted to replace Acronix and Cliff was awarded a medal for his heroism. But, Cliff knew that he had to be lectured by Master Lloyd for his recklessness once he recovered from the injury he sustained. The day Acronix was sent to Kryptarium, Cliff wanted to be there to see him enter his cell. His presence met with mixed reactions from other prisoners before eventually they stopped at a nearby vacant cell before Acronix stepped. "This'll be your new home, for the rest of your life." Cliff said. He had a crutch to help support him while recovering from his hip wound. "No matter hoe much you beg, you're gonna die here."
"This place can't hold me, and we both know that." Acronix replied. "And when I get out of here, you'll be the first for manipulating my daughter to turn against me."
"Wrong. She manipulated herself. She's mine now." Acronix growled and tried to charge at Cliff, only for him to raise his crutch to jab him in the groin, and strikes him with it, knocking him down on the cell floor. As Acronix laid on the floor, Cliff turned to a nearby guard. "Close two-seven!"
"Closing two-seven." The guard said as Cliff started to walk away, and Acronix helplessly watched as the bars closed.
"You'll pay, Walker." He muttered. "You will pay."
------
A week later, Cliff showed up at the monastery, no longer having the crutch. Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled as he opened the front doors, to see him in the middle of the practice field. But surprisingly, his parents, his sister Joan, CJ, Max, Don, Gabby, along with his uncle Kai, aunt Nya, cousin Lara, honorary uncles Zane and Cole and honorary aunts P.I.X.A.L. and Seliel were also there. He was really gonna get a giant lecture. After being given a quick bow, Lloyd moved up to Cliff as he still had his head down. "Clifton Edward Walker." He stated. It was his first time calling him by his full name. "Actions have consequences, and you made a lot."
"Yes, Master Lloyd." Cliff silently replied. "I will face what comes next without protest. But that won't stop me being Samurai I."
Lloyd then smiled. "I'm doing nothing." This gets the Ninja and Cliff to become shocked at that sentence. "I made some mistakes myself and took them without protest. You did Spinjitzu without practise, you unlocked your True Potential out of anger and revenge, which you overcame. You have proven your worthiness to be a Ninja." The parents soon applaud as the Ninja then came up to Cliff and hug him or ruffle his hair.
"Thank you, Master. But I will wait till the appropriate age as required."
"As you wish."

(A/N: If you ask about love, it's partly that, but it's also a teleporting wish. I made up that Nadakhan and Dilara had a child just for this story. Also, please help lightninggirl15 with her Ninjago One-Shot requests, because I am running out of ideas. Read her story 'The New Masters of Spinjitzu' beforehand. It's a great story)
