Chapter 36
Finale

The ninja, Sensei, Dr. Julien, Misako, and Sky arrived in Ninjago City to see it was in ruins. Everyone in Ninjago was affected by dark matter. Basically... Everything was darker and duller.

"Is that another dragon?" Sky asked.

"It's the overlord, isn't it." Kai looked to Misako. She nodded and looked up again.

"What's that?" Jay asked.

"Garmatron." She replied.

"It's a fortress?" Jay asked.

"No Jay," Annalise said, "it's a puppy." He stuck his tongue out at her. She rolled her eyes and smiled. They continued talking and the ninja soon left to fight off the stone army. The others went to find the helmet overlord was wearing. They found it. Just on a brown-clad mans head.

With the ninja

They fought hard, using any and every technique they knew, but they were outnumbered one to one hundred. They were about to lose hope when... The army stopped moving.

"What happened?" Kai asked.

"They are Frozen." Zane replied. Kozu spoke.

"All hail the brown ninja! What do you command!"

"Brown ninja?" Jay asked. The ultra dragon flew down with Dareth on.

"What's up fellas? Look who's in command now?"

"The helmet controls the army!" Cole said, "Well done!"

Annalise looked up at the overlord. She attempted to read his mind, but it just made her shudder in disgust.

"Now we stand a fighting chance!" Jay yelled.

"I need to get to the top of that fortress" Lloyd yelled, "I may not be able to make it on my own, but with your help I can face him!"

"Ninjago!" Dareth walked over.

"Where'd you get those? I want one." Kai looked at him.

"You too brown ninja. Today, your one of us. Should we do it once more? Just for old times sake?" Kai asked. Dareth looked at the blade and held it up.

"Ninjago!" He looked at his new army.

"Stone army, go!" They charged up the steps and were shot down by Nya.

"Better give this back." Kai ran to the others and started up the stairs. Cole and Kai helped Lloyd up and the others stayed either in front or back.

Everything was going smoothly until overlord breathed a dark matter fire and it blasted Cole, who pushed Lloyd away.

"Cole!"

"Go!" The rest of the ninja left through hesitation. Jay was next. He scared Lloyd even more, only because he didn't want to do this alone.

"The odds of the rest of us making it up there is zero to one!"

"We have to make it!" Cole and Jay were walking up the stairs again. They were darker in comparison to Zane, Kai, Lloyd, and Annalise and had purple-shaded eyes.

"I'll hold them off. Just make sure Lloyd gets to the top." He faced the two darker ninja. Annalise hesitated, but continued. The overlord fired again, but in front of the three remaining ninja. What appeared from the smoke shocked the ninja.

"It is... Her..." Annalise whispered. She felt something click, literally, inside of her. It was her fear switch.

"Isn't that better? Now, I don't think I properly introduced myself. I'm Corra, your worst nightmare." She charged after Lloyd and, ignoring her fear, Annalise stopped her with her blade.

"But... Annalise! You were supposed to help me defeat the overlord!" Lloyd yelled.

"I am" Annalise replied, "I'm holding her off so you can get to him, to defeat him!" Kai had to drag Lloyd up the stairs after that. He soon had to stop Nya. Lloyd was left alone to fight.

With Annalise (just because I'm sure you know what Lloyd does)

She stood in front of her opponent, blocking any way to get to Lloyd. Her blade was out in front of her and she was shaking. Corra hissed and lunged at Annalise. Her claws were sharp enough that they could be lethal weapons.

Annalise looked behind Corra and saw her brothers. Racing toward the fighting duo at alarming speeds. Annalise made a wall of water between her and Corra and shoved her off the side.

But Corra wasn't going to go down easily, if that's what you thought. She grabbed Annalise's shoulder before she fell, causing both of them to fall to the ground below.

"With that speed and height, she'll be killed for sure!" Dr. Julien yelled in fright and concern. Corra tried choking Annalise with her own hood. Annalise kicked Corra in the stomach and sent her flying to the ground even faster.

Everyone on the ultra dragon thought all hope was lost for the youngest android. But lucky for them, Zane had told her about finding the falcon, whom was perched on Julien's shoulder, and how they used their hoods as parachutes. And while Corra fell to her death, Annalise floated down safely.

There was a sudden flash of light, and Garmatron had disappeared, along with the overlord and Corra. Everyone who was affected by dark matter was awakened by the light. Kai and Jay woke up next to each other and ran to Nya, who had woken up seconds after. Cole and Zane hugged (brotherly). Lloyd and Annalise kissed. The ultra dragon flew to the ground and everyone reunited.

Lloyd was saddened, but the look in Annalise's deep blue eyes gave him hope. A figure emerged from the rubble.

"Lloyd?" Everyone looked over. A man was standing in the rubble, slowly climbing down.

"D-dad? Dad!" The golden ninja ran over to his now pure-hearted father.

"All the evil and venom is... Gone..." Misako said. Wu smiled.

"Brother..."

"Wu... It's been so long..." The brothers hugged and the rest of the family walked away to catch up.

"Where there's trouble, there will always be a need for a ninja..."
