Garmadon embraced his son close and sobbed more. He barely had a chance to say goodbye. The tears wouldn’t stop. It hurt so immensely. It was as if his whole world was falling apart right in front of him. In a way, it actually was. Even to this day, Lloyd was always one of the most important people in his life.

As he continued to grieve, a low growl from the Overlord snapped him back into reality.

I have to avenge him. It’s MY TURN. He got up, glaring violently at the Overlord, now fueled by rage, vengeance, and determination.

"YAKUNAN, HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!?!" He was on the very edge of losing his sanity. Keep it together! Lloyd needs you more than ever now! It’s time to finish what he started! “You were the one who took my son...MY CHILD...away from me! You’ve caused far too much damage to my life now! I won’t stand for this any longer!”

He summoned a purple and gold ball of destruction energy, preparing to launch it at the Overlord. His eyes glowed a dark purple. The memories he shared with Lloyd came flooding back, now empowering him.

He had begun to rise up into the air. Summoning all his strength and willpower, he created a huge dark purple energy ball, nearly twice the size of the Overlord. With a cry, he launched it. The Overlord screeched demonically and was enveloped in a golden and purple light.

He had done it.

Garmadon had used his true potential to destroy the Overlord for good. He was glad for that, but his happiness quickly faded away. He glanced back to Lloyd, his heart and mind now fully overcome with grief and sorrow over the loss of his only child. He sprinted over as fast as he could, then reached down to stroke Lloyd’s cheek, his hand shaking slightly. He couldn't believe it. “Lloyd Montgomery...w-why did you have to go…? W-Why did y-you have to leave m-me…? I wish- If only-”

It was at this time when the Destiny’s Bounty finally touched down. The other ninja stood silently as they saw Garmadon breaking down in tears, utterly devastated by the sacrifice Lloyd had made.

“I-I miss you… Come back…” He wanted all the pain to just go away all at once. You were so young...so sweet...so innocent...And I loved you. “Please… I wish this didn't have to happen to you… I just-”

Kai knelt beside his elder Sensei. “I'm so sorry… He meant so much to all of us… He'd want his memories to live on through you. Through all of us.” He wrapped his arms around Garmadon and shut his eyes in remembrance.

It would be extremely difficult for them all. Lloyd was the heart of their team. Without him, things would be very different.

Garmadon let out a sigh. “Let’s go home.”
