Kai P.O.V.

I could hear the rain softly padding against the window. The sky was stormy, and each time lightning struck, the thunder roared over Nya's harder cries. It was all my fault. I was with him when it happened. We were fighting some skeletons. We see those losers all over town, and when they see us they just retreat. We had a reputation of stopping the snakes and stone army, as well the Overlord, so why wouldn't they run? But that day was different. There were more then just a few.

Flashback

"Common, Jay. I saw a skeleton over there! Let's knock down that bag of bones!" We walked over to the spot the skeleton had been. He was gone. Jay spoke, "What the-" but a bag was thrown over us.

The next thing we knew we were in the Underworld surrounded by the whole army. We tried our best to fight, but they were surprisingly strong. After a drawn-out battle, we won. Just as we we're going to find a way back home, something happened. Jay, who was in front of me, stopped moving. "Jay?" I had said, curious to why he had stopped. He dropped to his knees. I ran in front of him, and noticed it. A bow had been placed in his chest.

I didn't even care about getting the guy who did this. They would suffer at one point anyway.

I did my best to heal the wound. Took off my shirt and used it as a bandage, carried him a while, but it didn't work. I managed to get us out of the Underworld by making a vortex with our elemental blades. I had placed him under a cherry blossom tree at the outskirts of Ninjago City. In a small park with no people.

The tree was one with great importance. A few years back, Jay proposed to my sister under it. They had gotten married a few years later. Just earlier that day Jay and Nya were discussing children, deciding they wanted some.

He had looked at me with his eyes meaningfully. "K-Kai. I have some messages f-for you. Lloyd. J-just tell him he was my best friend. Always made me feel in reality, and important. Tell Cole I was glad to be his brother, and happy he was the leader, since he was a great one. T-tell Zane I was proud to fight along side such a wise nindroid. A-and Sensei. T-tell him he taught me so much. He made me who I am today. M-my parents. They where there for me. T-they raised me, and are amazing.

And Kai, you, just, you were always there. Even if you didn't want t-to be. Like when I married Nya. You were my best man, and I made the right chose. This isn't your fault. I know you think it is. But promise me two things." I nodded my head quickly.

He spoke again, "Never give up. O-on anything. I know you must think that sound stupid but I gave up on a lot of things, and I regret it. Even stupid things. Inventions. But I really do regret it. And lastly, tell Nya she meant every thing to me. If I could, I would renew our vows everyday. Making them better. S-she must carry on. Tell her I love her. Promise me. Promise you'll tell everyone what I wanted to tell them. Promise me. Promise me, Kai."

I was unable to talk, but nodded quickly. He smiled one last Jay smile, and I watch as his eyes glossed over.

End of Flashback

I was brought back to reality with another streak of lightning and sob from Nya. My nose and eyes began to burn and my vision blurred up. I quickly wiped my eyes with a sniffle and straightened my tie, thinking that would keep my mind of of things.

My tie was a velvet red one with vertical blue stripes. My suit was black, as was my pants, and my hair was stuck up as usual. I felt guilty. I haven't had it in me to tell the others what Jay had said. It would make them more sad. I just, couldn't. But I had to at one point. I mean, I promised!

Lloyd walked up to me and patted me on the shoulder. I spun around to talk to him. He looked handsome. His light blond hair wavy in the front as usual. Green bow tie with a blue middle. Black suit and pants, as well as shiny black shoes. He looked at me with a sincere look, but his eyes were bloodshot like he had been crying for days.

That was it. I had to tell him what Jay said. "How you handling things?" He asked me. I shrugged. "Not like anyone's taking it good. But I have to tell you something." He looked curious and met my gaze. "What? What is it?" I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. "Before he, you know, passed he told me-" the door click and in the door frame was Cole. Standing tall trying to hold back tears. "It's time," he said in a deep, solemn voice.

It was still storming. Jays' favorite weather. I had my arm around Nya as she allowed tears to stream out of her. We were the last to go up to say our final words to him. It had been a long wake, and tomorrow wouldn't be much better at the funeral. My tears weren't close to running dry. I saw Cole shed a few tears, and Lloyd still acted like a child and sobbed, wiping his nose with his sleeve when he thought no one was looking.

Zane's hard drive over-heated and half his face fell of. The tears and metal mixed and he had to leave for a minute to stop his glitches.

Sensei really just stroke his beard in the corner, but some tears squeezed through his closed eyelids. I felt bad. He didn't just lose a student, he also lost a son.

I just stayed sitting. I kept replaying his death in my head. My promise. His eyes.

Then I broke. I screamed and fell on the floor crying. No one came to my side to help me. I looked around and realized the place was closed. It was dark, but still well lit from outside light. I walked over to Jay's closed casket and slowly opened it. There he lay in the same outfit we all saw him in on his wedding. A dark blue tux, with a bright blue tie he also wore on his and Nya's first date.

I inhaled a shaky breath, and let it out with some cold tears not nearly as cold as Jay was now. "Jay. I-I'm sorry I haven't told them yet. I-I will, just not now. But I'm promising you more then that. Whoever killed you will pay. I will find them, and make them pay for your suffering. Our suffering over you. Everything. Jay, I promise you that. And when I make a promise, I keep, that promise. I love you Jay. Your my brother forever. Dead or alive."

I slowly closed the casket. I had a goal. More then one. I will tell the others what Jay said. What he needed them to hear. Everything that was his, 'last words.' I'll tell all of them the message Jay sent to them.

But secondly,

I was going to find and destroy who did this.
