Once the two humans and the spirit head back, Cole head off leaving Jay and Nya alone. He soon found Kai in the living room, watching T.V.

"Hey Torchy. So how did it go?" Cole said as he sat beside his friend.

The ninja of fire glanced and replied "Lloyd's fine, he's just been too hard on himself."

"Way to go, Kai." Cole thought to himself before Kai asked "How did the date go?"

"Good. You know? I think those two are going to be okay."

"Cole?" A voice popped up that made duo turned behind them to see Lloyd standing with a perplexed face. It was at that moment that the two questioned if the blond could see the ghost, to which Lloyd responded.

"Uh ah, I thought you died?"

The red and black ninjas both didn't know what to say. How could they? I mean, this came out nowhere. It would be like if Jay suddenly stopped talking for no reason.

The silence continued until Cole walked through the couch and spoke up. "Look Lloyd? I-"

"You're a-what?" The green ninja interrupted. "You were still with us all this time?"

"I didn't want Kai to tell you in case I..." the spirit ninja down looked with a sadden expression. He didn't need to finish the sentence, he knew Lloyd would get it.

"So you were going to leave like nothing ever happened?" Lloyd said in slight angered tone as took and held out an envelope.

Yet another surprise that hit the black and red clad duo, however for different reasons.

"Lloyd, I-" Cole tried to defend himself and place a hand on his shoulder, but Lloyd stopped him.

"No, don't! Why don't you take your letter and just leave?" The green clad lad said as he thrown the paper to the ground and stormed out, leavening the sprit looking down with another sadden expression.

Kai soon gotten up and walked towards his friend. "Cole, I' am-" He uttered.

"It' alright. Why don't you go talk to him?" With that, the ninja of earth walked away.

A few minutes later, out on deck Lloyd sat looking at the clouds that they passed-bye. Soon footsteps were herd. Lloyd didn't to look back to tell Kai was walking towards him. The blond sighed.

"What is it?" He muttered.

"You should apologize to Cole?"

"Wait?" question in a shock voice as turned to face the mater of fire. "You saw him too?"

"Look it's long story." It was this moment that Kai took a seat next to his little brother-figure. "We might not like it, Lloyd. But we all need to move on? He can't stay here forever."

"I know" The younger ninja let another sigh before looking back at the clouds. "I finally got to see him again and now..."

Hours after leaving Lloyd alone, Kai realized something; where's Cole? The ghost was now where to be found. Kai looked around, but came up with empty results.

He went into living room and found Lloyd sitting in the chair.

"Oh, hey Kai?" Lloyd greeted taking noticed to the master of fire's presence.

"You haven't Cole around?"

"No, why did he go yet?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him since-."

"Hey guys." A familiar voice cut-in.

"Cole!" The Christmas colored duo uttered in surprised.

"We thought you left." stated Kai.

"I never left. I couldn't leave Lloyd like this."

"Why was it so hard to find you before?"

"I needed to be alone." It then that the master of earth sifted his direction at Lloyd. "Hey? Sorry about not telling you squirt."

"It's fine, just... I wished you didn't have to go?"

"Me too."

"So, I guess this is this good-bye?" Lloyd questioned sounding like he was at break point of letting tears slide down his cheeks.

"Well, I feel like as soon as everyone know what's in the letter I wrote; I 'am gone." The ghost ninja hanged his head looking sad as the green ninja.

Just then Kai added in. "No matter what happens, you won't be forgotten."

"Thanks."

It took a bit, but Kai gathered everyone in one area before he started to read the letter out loud.

Before he did however, "Uh, are you going to be okay?" Lloyd asked in another room turning from staring through a crack in a door.

Cole, who looked kind of sad, replied "Yeah." in a soft tone.

"Maybe, we could wait?"

"No. I 'am ready?"

"It looks like its starting?"

As the ninja of earth looked at the lad, he turned his attention a hand he held out. This was it. He knew, Lloyd and Kai could handle things in his absence. Everything's at peace. He's no longer needed.

Just then, he saw balls of light floated up and dissipated, like snow in the winter. It was this moment that Cole peered up to see Lloyd Looking back at him. "It looks like this is good-bye?"

"Yeah. Good luck and finding your mom and all."

"Will do." Cole stated in proud and confined tone. "Don't forget you've still got everyone to help you."

"Sure."

"Good. Now why don't you go and joined the others?" The spirit suggested with a smile on his face as he place a hand on Lloyd's shoulder. It only matter of now, better make any more of a struggle then it was.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, go on. They'll want you to be there?" The lights increased moved faster out of the ninja of earth's body.

"Thanks." was all Lloyd said turned and was about the door. That's when Cole's vision turned to light.

Lloyd noticed a bright light flash behind him. He turned, but saw nothing. Cole was gone. He was going to miss earth wielding brother, but he was sure could handle it. The fallen comrade was not going to be forgotten. He'll make sure of that.

The blond hair teen soon head out the door and joined the others.

A year later, Kai went to Cole's grave. Everything's was still okay, they beat their enemy, Kai is still leader, Lloyd's better and being the second in command, Zane's alright, and Jay and Nya are talking about getting married. Things were going to get interesting.

"Hey Cole." the ninja of fire greeted the tombstone. Lloyd told him what happen. He wasn't too upset-sadden maybe. It just felt lonely at the begging. "I hope things are going well for you." Kai kept coming here on occasion, while the others shown up at random times or the found time in their schedules. He didn't if Cole could hear, but diced to do, by the off-chance his friend could. "Things are doing good over here."

"Good job, torchy." A familiar voice sprang up. He turned to see said friends standing a distance away with a lady who looked like him standing next to him, for a second before disappearing.

Kai soon gained a grin. "Thanks Cole."
