Chapter 79: A Gleam in the Dark
"Where are you off to child?" the Omega asks.
Aria approached the group of Oni warriors who were preparing to fight off the realm's defenders.
"Like you said, this much movement isn't good for the little one." Aria smiles "I'm off to find his father, the protector's sent him off to prison."
"There will be a new home for you when you return," the Omega tells her "I can't wait to meet the guy."
"Right," Aria replies.
"You're not coming with us?!" Suromi pouts as he takes off his mask "I was ready to show off my skills."
"I'm sure there will be another time," Aria responds "you won't lose to those ninjas, will you?"
"Never," Suromi replies as he puts his Oni mask back on and powers up.
"We will see each other again," Aria turns to the Omega.
"Yes, we will." the Omega turns to the army "We're off!"
The army began to move out as Aria turned and headed towards the prison.
"Say hi to mother for me," Aria chuckles as she made her way through the city "Dear grandmother."
At the Monastery, after distributing the newly made golden weapons, the monks warn of the Oni's arrival. The Ninja, Wu, Faith, and Lord Garmadon unite to hold off The Omega's Oni legions.
"No matter what happens Ninja," Kai says "We fight to protect this realm, each other, and for Cole."
The ninja nod in agreement as they head down the steps to face the Oni. With that, a battle begins outside the monastery, with the Oni steadily overwhelming the Ninja and their allies until Cole returns in the Earth Driller. Overjoyed by his return, the Ninja gain a second wind and continue the battle.
To fight The Omega, Garmadon embraces his full Oni side and takes him on, though he's still overpowered.
"You are Oni" the Omega whacks Garmadon away "But only in form. In your heart, I sense uncertainty and doubt." she strikes the staff at him, flying him back up the steps. "Part of you longs to understand these pitiful beings." The Oni walks up to Garmadon "To be one of them. Your hopes weaken you." she whacks Garmadon again.
Garmadon loses his Oni form, and lies on the steps, weakened. The Omega throws her power at him. It hits him against the monastery doors.
"Sensei!" Reika runs over to him. She helps Garmadon up as the Oni push the ninja back towards the monastery. "Fall back! Everyone, fall back now!"
The Ninja, Faith, and Master Wu run back to the monastery.
Nya kicks an Oni before leaving "Copy that!"
The Oni chase after the Ninja who close the doors behind them. Cole uses his Lava Arm to put up the barricade on the door. Faith and P.I.X.A.L. take up a stance in front of the citizens. The door rattles, under the banging of the Oni.
"That's not going to last forever" Cole says.
Cole's last word echoes in Jay's mind as he glances at Nya "Nya" he turns to her and takes off his hood "I have to ask you something important."
"What? Now?" Nya questions as she throws off her hood.
"Yes, now" Jay gets down on one knee, puts his nunchucks on the ground, inhales slowly, and starts talking rapidly. The rest of the Ninja and Master Wu turn to look at him.
"Nya, you make me so happy everyday" Jay says, Nya shakes her head and stares at Jay, confused "When we're not together, I miss you so much that it feels like part of me is missing" Pulls out the token, and splits it in half, holding one half out to her "Will you be my Yang?"
Nya gasps, taking the token from Jay.
Cole comes up behind Nya "Now you're asking?!"
Kai joins Cole "We seriously need to talk about your sense of timing, Jay!"
"You bring a new meaning to never put off till tomorrow what can be done today," Reika mutters.
Nya looks at Jay, and throws her spear away "Yes!" she jumps into Jay's arms and hugs him "Of course! Yes, yes, yes!"
The doors and the barricade slowly breaks down. Jay picks up his nunchucks.
"Nya, Jay, it's been fun, guys" Cole says.
Zane nods "It has been an honor."
The ninja all smile as well.
"We're gonna go out with a bang" Jay jokes.
Darkness climbs in over the walls of the monastery.
Kai laughed "Alright let's give 'em—"
"A tornado!" Reika suddenly shouts.
"Yeah! Let's give 'em a tornado!" Kai starts to run, comes back, and then looks at his sister "Uh—wait, what?"
"What's the opposite of destruction? Creation!" Reika points to the Pilot Episodes painting "Don't you get it? Creation—the Tornado of Creation! It's the one thing that can overcome darkness and defeat the Oni—the power of Creation! But all of us this time, or it won't work."
"How do you know?" Jay questions.
"Yeah. It was a miracle it worked the first time!" Kai shouts
"All of us together, it's gotta work" Reika says "we got nothing else to lose..."
Jay holds out his hand to Nya "We're one now, Nya. Care to join?" She takes his hand.
"Wait, it has to be all of us" Reika looks at Garmadon.
Garmadon crossed his arms "I am not one of you."
"You're as much a part of the elements of any of us," Reika tells his "there can't be light without darkness. You told me that more than anybody else."
Garmadon walks away, the Oni break down the doors and step into the monastery.
"Here goes nothing!" Cole shouts
"Ninja, GOO!!" They all spin except for Garmadon
Garmadon watches the Ninjas' Spinjitzu as the Oni march in. He sees the darkness cover up Reika in the Sons of Garmadon painting, and he looks back at the Oni. Garmadon sighs before doing Spinjitzu and joins the group. Everyone's Spinjitzu tornadoes merge into one, forming the largest Tornado of Creation. It creates a light and explodes.
The darkness clears up in Ninjago City and The First Realm. The citizens of Ninjago wake up from their trance and move around. The Golden Weapons' lights die out, de-powering them. The Ninja groans.
"Ow" Nya runs up to Jay and hugs him, he looks around "We're alive" Jay laughs "We're alive!"
Cole picks himself up, grunting he looks and sees Kai under a piece of the door "Kai!" He throws it off of him and helps him up.
"Where's Reika?" Kai asks worriedly.
"Dying a bit," Reika replies sarcastically.
"Reika!" the ninja shout, seeing her under pieces of door.
"I might be dying," Reika comments.
"Not the time for jokes sis!" Kai shouts.
The ninja quickly hauls the pieces off her before Kai helps her stand.
"That was the biggest yolo move in history," Reika jokes.
"But it worked!" Cole smiles.
The Ninja walk away, chattering happily, relieved. Wu looks at Garmadon and smiles. Garmadon looks back at him and walks away.
Wu sighs sadly "Goodbye, Brother"
At Kryptarium prison, Lloyd sat in his cell staring up at the ceiling with one hand over his empty sheath. Lloyd closed his eyes.
"A knight should never drop their weapon Lloyd, perhaps, this will entice you to keep it."
"I could never accept such a thing,"
"You will and you must, what will my great knight ever do without his own weapon."
"I swear, with this sword, I will always be by your side to protect you your highness."
"I have no doubt you will."
"I failed you," Lloyd mutters as he opened his eyes "Aria."
The alarms suddenly started blaring, Lloyd shot up at attention looking up at the red flashing light.
"Stop right there!"
Lloyd heard a lot of noise outside and walked closer to the door of his special cell, staring at the other side of the pathway. The door was busted open, and his eyes lit up at the sound of heels clicking, a noise he knew by heart.
"Oh, my darling," the dust cleared and there stood his princess, alive and well. "Did you miss me?"
Lloyd smiles "Yes."
