Epilogue!
Any reviews left here will be answered in the first chapter of my oneshot series
Forgot to mention that the previous chapter was the last one. Oh and in the few hours it took for them to translate the inscription everyones favourite trio of cops showed up...

DemonGuest:Tomorrow won't remember for a very long time. Yes it's getting interesting...it's also finishing.
"Could it be,Could it be,that you're joking with me?"-Ruby,The Kaiser Chiefs
The Slither Pit
"So what exactly does that mean?" Asked a confused Bob. At this point in time he was pretty much voicing the thoughts of everyone at the table.
Tomorrow took a deep breath, "The Sword of Sanctuary was the only known weapon to be used by the First Spinjitzu Master... It's like,one of his trademark weapons. It was supposedly lost when he died,leading many to believe it was buried with him.(A.N. no it wasn't! But they don't know that,do they) But what I don't understand is why it appeared for me. I'm not the one who's descended from the First Spinjitzu Master." He said,glancing at Lloyd,who muttered "supposedly".
"Wait... Who's descended from the First Spinjitzu Master?!" Cole demanded.(a.n. this was nearly Kai...till i remembered continuity. Kyle was there)
"Me... Supposedly." Lloyd admitted, "It's the only explanation for my red eyes. FSM was part Oni,a demon of Destruction from the first relm. For my eyes to be red,but not permanently red I'd have to be at least his Grandson. But his grandson is supposedly the Green Ninja..." He received a few confused looks from his newer friends. "My eyes used to be chocolate brown."
There were some surprised looks,but not many.
"But," Lloyd continued, "The way the Sword appeared to Tomorrow reminds me of how the mask appeared to me."
This got the attention of everyone,and they all started conversing,stringing together,unraveling and shoehorning together theories.
The theory they eventually managed to put together was as follows:
Something happened. Something big. It wiped the entirety of Ninjago's history. Leaving only figments and artifacts.
Someone or something,the popular opinion was the FSM himself, had chose this particular group,along with their informants,to help Ninjago's history to be restored,so he gave them masks,laid out the trail of weapons and gave the best history blogger his sword.
The masks were the clearest thing.
They were given to a person (a.n. they don't really remember elemental masters whilst on the island of Ninjago) when they believed that they could do/be something more than they already were. For example Lloyd took a leap of faith and believed in the possibility he could be descended from(or actually the green ninja) the most powerful being in all of history.
Nya believed she could get a job,despite the fact that she'd had many failed job applications,and finding her lost brother (A.N. Lloyd remebers being caged. Morro remembers his deaths. Nya remembers Jay/James is her boyfriend and that she has a brother...she just doesn't remember his name or what he looks like)
Jay believed in the possibility of a future with Nya.
The others...well it's most likely something just as big(A. . can you give me suggestions for the others).
Tomorrow. He was the only one not buying this theory. Lloyd insisted that this was how they'd been given their masks.
Eventually they gave up on convincing him. They'd try again another day. They all went home because it was late.
The Inconscient Apartment.
After dinner,Lloyd and Rick were sitting opposite each other on the sofas. Pix was now living with Zane above his cake shop,and everyone else was at their respective places.
After a comfortable silence,Rick spoke up.
"Hey,Lloyd."
"Yeah" Lloyd replied.
"D'you remember when I was telling you about my past."
"Can't exactly forget it, Richard." Lloyd smirked
"You remember I mentioned a girl my brother,Robin,went off to find."
Lloyd was serious now,no more smirking,no more joking. He understood what was going on. It was no joking matter. "Yeah,she'd been kidnapped 3 years ago,assumed dead. Right?"
"Yeah," Rick said bitterly. "Well,I think I'm ready to tell you about her now..."
A.N. this is the official end of the story. But,as promised,there will be half the prologue to the next story below. Just wanted to say that one of the reasons it's ending here is found at the very start of part 4 of Brent Miller's interview with Tommy Andreasen.
The story below is entirely from Her point of view. And DemonGuest,she's being introduced now.
An unknown location right now(half a month before Rick meets Lloyd,half a month after the mass memory loss)
She ran through the forest,she'd been running for what felt like hours. She risked a glance over her shoulder, apparently she'd managed to lose Her pursuers. They'd kept her prisoner for too long. Possibly even years. She had no idea of the progress of time. She ran for how long? She didn't know. She was in almost constant pain due to Her injuries they'd inflicted upon her. Eventually she came across a cave. It was well hidden she'd nearly missed it,but she went in to hide from those chasing Her,and to rest. She eventually passed out from exhaustion,she'd escaped the facility they'd kept her locked in for possibly years. Her last thought before drifting into unconsciousness was about Her twin...
A Cave. The Dark Island,The Relm of Ninjago
She woke up on an unfamiliar squishy surface and the first thing she noticed was that for the first time in forever(A. Disney music) she felt absolutely no pain in her body whatsoever.
The second thing she noticed was the boy leaning over her. He had blond hair and glowing green eyes. Well,he appeared to be a boy for the few moments after she woke up. Then,with no warning,his form flickered to a swirling mass of green glowing substance,exactly like his eyes.
This made Her back up in fear. The boy noticed her fear.
"Miss,please calm down I'm not going to harm you."
The boy appeared to be about 14,he had an oversized black hoodie,with a white skeleton ribcage painted onto it. Where his heart would've been,had he been human,was a number 5,the same glowing green as his eyes.
"W-what are you?" For Her speaking wasn't easy,she hadn't been around anyone who'd talk to her for almost her entire life in confinement.
"I'm what's known as an Elemental." The Elemental explained.
"Like Elemental Masters? My twin used to read about those people alot." She asked
The boy thought about it for a few moments.
"Yes...and no. I'm just the Element. I'm able to take a physical, but unstable,human figure because I'm made up of my Master's memories and elemental power. I'm unstable because my Master is remembering who he is. The masters don't have their memories,you see. We're all very unstable... Except for Wind... His master is refusing to remember..." The Elemental trailed off.
She ran a hand through her knee length brown hair trying to process this. But all she could think about was how it hadn't been cut since the day she was taken... How long ago was it?
"How old do you think I am?" She asked him suddenly.
"Hm?" The Elemental looked up.
"They kidnapped me,I don't know how long ago. How old am I?" She repeated and explained
"About 17? I'm not very good with human ages. My Master's age is kinda messed up,so I can't really be sure." Her new friend replied, "My Master's Chronology dictates he's 14. But his usual Biology,with me,is 19. Without me he's most likely stuck at around 16."The Elemental was rambling,she wasn't really listening.
She let out a groan. THREE YEARS! They'd held her captive for 3 years?
After a comfortable silence the Elemental spoke up.
"Hey, by the way,I'm Energy" Energy introduced himself,holding out a hand.
She was confused by his sudden introduction,but grateful nonetheless,because now she had something to refer to him as.
She supposed she'd better return the favour.
"It's nice to meet you Energy." She said,shaking his hand. "I'm Ruby. Ruby Inconscient."
