"We have to do it now!" Pythor exclaimed.

There was no time to waste. Lloyd had already jumped off the boat, clearly frustrated and upset with the possibility of never seeing his father again.

Garmadon, now a snake, slithered to the edge, watching sadly as his son fought off the Anacondrai below him. He closed his eyes, tears slowly falling. Oh, Lloyd... I wish I could stay longer, but this appears to be the only option... I'm sorry... I'm really going to miss you... He took a deep breath then stood on the front of the Bounty.

Pythor recited the spell, a blue vortex portal appearing above Garmadon. Then, as the spell was completed, the once former Dark Lord rose up, then hovered above the flying ship.

"Misako, Wu, will you ever forgive me for the letter?" Garmadon asked.

The two of them nodded.

"Tell Lloyd I'm sorry..." His voice was sad, but he remained determined to stop what Chen had been plotting for years.

With that, the albino Anacondrai general completed the spell, and Garmadon rose up into the portal. Then the seven Anacondrai generals came out. They swooped down, cursing all the Anacondrai.

Lloyd knew it was over. At once, he summoned his dragon, flying back to the ship. He dismounted. He collapsed to his knees and sobbed. Pythor slithered over.

"I cursssssed him away..." he hissed solemnly. "I don't dessserve to be here... It's about time... Ssssend me off, Lloyd... Pleassse..."

The green ninja nodded in reply, wiping away his tears. He picked up the book, and the spell was read once more. Mini-Pythor rose up, then vanished into the blue and white swirl of a portal. Another figure returned.

It was Garmadon. His human form had regenerated, and he'd come back.

Lloyd couldn't believe it. Running forward, he embraced his father tightly, shrieking in delight. Tears rolled down his face, but he didn't care. The two of them were finally together at last.

"I'm right here..." Garmadon's facial expression softened as he returned the embrace. "I'm glad it worked out... I've missed you already..."
