Chapter 25: Conclusion Part 4 "We're very impressed with your determination and skills, Andrew." Wu said to Andrew kindly. The ninja were back in the temple, and things were beginning to feel normal again. Kai and Cole's injuries had mostly healed (they still had to tread lightly), Lloyd had been freed from possession when he was trapped in the cage, similar to Jay and Nya, who had also been freed from the Departed Realm to join their new prison, now freed. (Andrew suggested perhaps Camille wanted all the Elemental Masters in one place for a feeling of superiority - it was the best guess they had.) Meanwhile, Jay was working on repairing Zane, trying to get him back to the normal Zane. "I think I've got everything back to normal," Jay had said, "except for his speech. Now he only speaks in Fritz Donnegan quotes for some reason." "'For some reason?!'" Nya had quoted. "Jay, it seems like whenever something happens to Zane, you add your own little touches which annoy everybody but you! It's not fair!" "Fair?" Zane had repeated. "Fair isn't a word where I come from!" Remembering he was still standing in front of the ninja, Andrew regained his train of thought and replied, "Thanks. I couldn't have done it without your teaching." The ninja spent the evening celebrating their victory, the wholeness of their team, and the addition of a new member. They spent the evening laughing and enjoying each other's company, making Andrew feel for the team in a way he had not felt before. All laughing, all carefree, and some acting as if they had no common sense. The moon had been out for a while when the ninja decided they had endured enough partying for the night, and began to head to their rooms for bed. Andrew was beginning to head to his own when Lloyd asked him to stay. "Hey." Lloyd said.
Definitely the best and most exciting chapter part of the story so far. It's so exciting I'm bored!

Chapter 25: Conclusion Part 5 "Hi." Andrew responded. "How're things going now that you're a ninja?" Andrew figured Lloyd, who previously was very involved in his training, wanted to make sure he was doing fine. "I'm doing great." Andrew declared. "I feel like this is the home I never had." Lloyd smiled. "You said when Camille was going away that you considered us family. You really believe that?" "Yeah, why wouldn't I? I think there's a bit more to it than sharing blood. As I said, I feel like this is where I belong - thanks for letting me in." Lloyd seemed honored by his words, and began to reply. Suddenly, Jay peeped in. "We having some emotional chat over here or something?" He asked, smirking. "Oh, Jay!" Lloyd gasped. "Sorry - you surprised me. I was just talking to Andrew about -" "Yeah, I heard. Try not to make it too cheesy, okay?" He laughed, walking off. "I'm with him." Andrew agreed when he was gone. "I'll see you in the morning." Lloyd agreed to join the others and finally rest for the night. Andrew waved, saying he was just gonna do a couple things before he went to bed. Then, once he heard the door close, he ran off to the main room and squeezed behind the TV. He pulled out a small remote he had left there earlier. The remote controlled a couple Christmas lights - all he had to do was flip a switch and the lights were turned on. During the festivities, Andrew had left the party temporarily to "use the bathroom," but when he did so, he had different intentions in mind. The Christmas lights could be spread out and put in places most would not suspect. Bestowing an evil grin, Andrew flipped the switch on the remote. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh!! There's a monster in my room!" Jay's screech sounded not too far off. "Wha-aaaaaaaaugh!! There's something with glowing eyes in here!" Kai yelled. "Who are you, and why are your eyes red?!?" Nya yelled. Andrew, failing to stifle his laughs, ran to hide behind the couch as the ninja's screams of terror ensued. He was being honest when he said he thought of the ninja like family. Like true family, he was going to have fun with the siblings he never had - and who knew what tomorrow would bring?

Yeah like I said, it's a little darker in the show it seems. Actually when I was first starting to watch Ninjago I couldn't figure out whether his hair was supposed to be red ( orange ) or brown. But now I know it's red ( orange). But then they changed it to brown in the new season...
It's always looked brown to me. Wow. His hair was reddish? Mind-blowing.
Chapter 25: Conclusion In what form he struck, he didn't know. Andrew wasn't couldn't fully recall the full experience of the strike, but he knew it was strong. He knew there was power. He knew with that one strike, he had won. He looked at his sister, lying on the ground in shock and pain. She couldn't have expected this from him. She stood up, her face showing weakness, despair, and confusion. "Release my friends." Andrew growled. "Now." Camille knew for the sake of her life and limb, she couldn't keep fighting - but she couldn't give up so quickly. She stared blankly, trying to figure out what to do. "Release them." Andrew repeated. "Send those villains back to the Departed Realm where they belong. Leave New Ninjago City." Camille stared a moment longer, then turned to face her army. She then grabbed the Realm Crystal from her pocket. Before the vast, vile, villainous group could protest or retaliate against their condemnation, a blue-purple beam shot from the crystal to the sky above them, making a large portal open up in the clouds. Anacondrai, ghosts, and nindroids began to float upwards as if there was no gravity, all falling prey to the ravenous jaws of the glowing portal. She then directed her glance to the Skulkin, still standing in the remains of the army. "Skeletons," she directed, "leave this place. Your work is done. We have lost, and must end this battle for the sake of our lives." "Can we at least get a cookie for a job well done?" A Skulkin from the back asked. After realizing he was not to be rewarded with delicacies for his work, he and the rest of the skeletons began walking back away from the hill, heading back to the mines. Only the Serpentine remained. Camille took out a small tin can from her pocket, and removed the lid. She grasped a bit of the violet powder inside, then tossed it at the snakes. The powder clouded up into puffs of lavender smoke, making them cough and choke. Once the dust cleared, the Serpentine looked different, their eyes no longer red. "What jussssst happened?" Skales wondered, in a daze. "Facmalum!" Tox shouted from the metal cage.
Chapter 25: Conclusion - Part 2 "Facmalum!" Tox shouted from the metal cage. The ninja and Serpentine turned around to look at the green girl, who grinned with excitement. "My own invention." She explained, not able to contain herself. "Controls other people! I tested it on this one guy; made him try to hunt down this random other person - he seemed really into it! "Oh, and there was this other guy! I used it to make him fall in love with a chicken." She giggled. "It's a perfect invention of mine; anybody will do anything you want them! "Of course, she had to steal it." Tox gestured at Camille in her slightly battered, dark suit. "But it was still genius! I didn't know it could work on a whole army!" "Erm, we'll talk about this later." Said Lloyd, disturbed by Tox's schemes. "I ssssssuppose we'll leave now." A Serpentine said. All of them seemed to be in a state of stupor, unsure what to make of recent events, but began slithering back to their village anyway. Camille walked over to the iron-bar cage, taking a key and inserting it into the door. It clicked and opened, letting the Elemental Masters pile out, relieved to be free. "Thank you." Andrew said. "Now - leave." He stared at Camille, making sure she knew this was the only way. "You wanna know why you were orphaned, Andrew?" She asked suddenly. Andrew flinched in surprise. Somehow, it had not really been on his mind, yet when the question resurfaced, curiosity burned wildly. "They didn't want you." Camille said, a grin spreading across her face. "Our parents - they didn't want you." Andrew stood in shock, trying to resist showing his true feelings, but still aware how his emotions could easily be read.
Chapter 25: Conclusion Part 3 "They didn't have enough money to keep you." She smiled wider. "They thought you would be too much effort. They didn't want to use their precious resources on you - a waste. They cast you out like an object, a small thing of little value to be left alone in ruin." A sudden glimpse to the past flashed by his mind. There he was, wailing as the cold air bit him while the wind howled in anger, with only a small orange blanket to cover him. The cold air sliced and jabbed at his body, making him screech in pain and despair louder. Then, a face appeared. A long white beard fell from his wrinkled but caring face. His expression was something of that Andrew was unfamiliar with - love. The man's warm hands were placed behind Andrew's back, holding the baby with care and concern. Andrew's cries began to fade away as he felt a new feeling. Now back in the present, Andrew looked back up at Camille, this time with more confidence. "Maybe so." He began. "But I have a family now." Camille curved an eyebrow in mild surprise. "I've found friends who actually care for me." He continued. "I've found people who have my back when nobody else does. I've found a family - which is more than I could say for you." Camille, then turned around and began to walk away from the hill. Turning her head over her shoulder, she declared, "You haven't seen the last of me . . . brother." "Perhaps - but if you ever are foolish enough to wander into our lands again, you can bet I'll be ready for you." Camille then continued walking down from the hill, soon disappearing from sight.
