Chapter 3
Time skip, 10 years later.
Kai's p.o.v
It's been rough without Lloyd. Ten years ago, after we busted Alexander's operation in putting people in suspended animation, Lloyd went missing. All of Ninjago rumor he's dead.
Right now, I'm infront the asshole, interrogating him. But, sadly, he hasn't budged. Getting sick of this, I leave.
Coming to the monastery, my son runs into my arms. Lifting Sammy up, Skylar comes, kissing my cheek. "Any luck, honey." She asks.
"He's not budging. I've spent the last year interrogating hem and nothing. Lloyd's gone, we just have to face it." I say. Even though I say it, a part of me believes Lloyd's alive.
Setting Sammy down, I walk down the hall. Coming to Wu and Garmadon's shared room, I lightly knock. The door opens, Garmadon smiles softly. He opens the door and I walk in.
Wu looks at me from his bed. Too old and weak to move around anymore, he's confined to his bed. Garmadon sits beside hem, I sit on the other side.
"Nothing at all." Wu rasps. He's close to dying. I shake my head. "He's not budging. I've tried everything I can think of." I say.
Wu rises a hand, I gently take it. He trains his blue eyes at me than Garmadon than finally to the ceiling. "I had hoped to see my nephew once more before I leave. But.... (He takes a shuddering breathe.) "I'm not going to. Not in this life." Wu says.
Tears begin falling down as Wu looks at me. "Kai, you came here as an arrogant man, who's only....goal was to save his sister. Now, you have become a leader. In the box on the dresser is my last gift...You've earned....earned it." Wu sighs.
I cry as his hand goes lax, his head rolling to the side. Garmadon wrips tears away as I get up. Going to Saud box, I lift the lid. A new gi is in it. Lifting the gi, I cry fresh tears as what I thought was a gi, is actually a sensei robe.
Pulling it on, I go to call the ninja. In a weeks time, I and Garmadon stand before two graves under the Sakura tree in the back of the monastery. The one infront of Garmadon is fresher, it being Wu's grave. I stand before Misako's grave.
Misako dies two years after Lloyd disappeared and now Wu has joined her. And Garmadon has had to barey both, his own wife and baby brother. I pat his shoulder, Garmadon turns and we head back in.
Another thirty years pass, I walk through the monastery holding my granddaughter. Gently bouncing her, I heat up some milk for her. Giving little Kailina the bottle, i go to the back purch.
Sitting in the rocking chair, I watch the predawn light as it comes up. And with it, five graves now lay under the Sakura tree. Skylar, Sammy and his wife lay beside Misako.
Skylar died two years ago during a harsh winter. Sammy and his wife were gunned down three months ago outside the hospital. A hand on my shoulder has me looking at Garmadon.
Fourty years after his son disappeared, Garmadon's still alive. Hell, he may barey me in the end. Kailina whines, I pull the bottle away and rub her back. She burps, spitting up a little and I wrip it away.
If you asked me what I would be doing when I'm pushing sixty, I never thought I'd be raising my granddaughter. Getting up, Garmadon takes Kailina as I head for the morning class.
Another ten years pass, I hold my old ninja gi out to Kailina. She has taken on my fire in the last year. She takes it, trying it on. I smile as she starts doing her kata's.
(In Alexander's old lab.)
Deep inside the lab, a lonely pod stands. The tank full of greenish/blue liquid. Inside, the blurry image of a person is curled inside.
Arms crossed over its head, hands flat at its temples. Fingers threaded in it hair. Legs drawn up to its chest, ankles crossed.
Over on the side, a dusty old monitor comes to life, a countdown timer seen. Having been running for who knows how long.
