Who looked at the list of the main story and pointed out a problem with the Garmadon X (Y/N) X Wu ending.
This lead to a cute story about a young Morro and (Y/N) to being longer and adapted to solve the problem :D
(Third Person P.O.V)
____ The Past ____
Morro had decided his Sensei needed a rest and took up vidual by (Y/N)'s side. Morro had also decided he would continue to work on his surprise for her.
He'd painstakingly sown her grey jacket back together, pricking himself a lot in the process but it was a labour of love. Shown not only in his work but the bandages around his little fingers from pricking them so much.
Although Morro tried his best. The jacket had to go through some cosmetic changes. Mostly due to the fact Morro hadn't been able to find the same colour grey for the jacket.
So the spiked jacket still looked as though it had been clawed thanks to the lighter colouring of grey also the fact that Morro had been unable to fix the insignia on the back of (Y/N)'s jacket so her jacket now bore the insignia of a dragon instead.
Morro smiled to himself at his handy work. After all (Y/N) did say she was supposed to be proud of it. The 'it' being her dragon-shaped birthmark.
(Y/N) opened one of her eyes and the whole world pitched forward. (Y/N) coughs, then chokes, then rolls over and heaves up the contents of her stomach, her entire skull was now throbbing as though it would split open at any moment.
"(Y/N)!" Morro exclaims in terror as he watches her be violently ill. "Sensei Wu!" Morro screamed for his Sensei. Wu came running in and caught sight of the deathly white hue of (Y/N)'s skin.
(Y/N) continues to convulse and vomit. While someone wipes the vomit from her face with a cool cloth. And a hand guides her to lie down on her side. "Shhh-shh. Can you open your eyes and try to focus on me?" Wu asked as (Y/N) shrinks away from the hands holding her.
"Open your eyes, (Y/N)." Wu pleaded but (Y/N) does not open her eyes. "Sensei just wants to make sure you're okay, (Y/N)." Morro also pleaded with her. But (Y/N) didn't respond to his pleas either.
Biting down on his lip in frustration, Wu uses his thumb to gently open each eye in turn and the throbbing sensation in her head redoubles for (Y/N).
"They're definitely more dilated than they were." Wu says out loud "Morro, could you grab a clean cloth?" Wu asks his young student.
Everything was too much for (Y/N) causing her to vomit again.
"Do you know where you are, (Y/N)?" Wu asked. Unfortunately (Y/N) was only somewhat aware of the pair moving around her, fussing, sometimes soothing but she wasn't sure what they're saying to her.
(Y/N)'s eyes slide shut again. "No, (Y/N). Stay with me." Wu urges, jostling (Y/N)'s shoulder in a frustrating way. (Y/N) moans and Wu's face crumples as if the sound were a physical blow.
"I'm sorry that you're in pain, (Y/N). I need you to stay awake." Wu pleaded with her. (Y/N)'s only reply was a painful whimper. "Sensei Wu, is it serious?" Morro asks with a worried expression on his distressed face.
"I can't tell, Morro. The fact that she's so confused isn't a good sign." Wu answers honestly. Tears started to appear in Morro's eyes. He didn't want to lose (Y/N) and definitely not like this. She was only this way because she rushed to save him. She couldn't go. Not like this.
"Why did she get better, then worse all of a sudden?" Morro demands, his voice unsteady. "There might be internal bleeding or internal infection that we can't see." Wu speculates.
Biting down on his lip Wu turns to Morro. "Morro, listen closely. I need you to go into town and get help from Mistaké." Wu said with a stern look on his face. Morro nodded intently.
(Third Person P.O.V)
____ The Past ____
Morro bolted from the temple and headed toward Jamanakai Village at top speed message in hand.
He wouldn't let them down either of them. Not his Sensei or his (Y/N). They were good to him. So he would be good to them. He couldn't lose either of them. (Y/N) wasn't going to die. He was going to get help. Everything was going to be ok. Morro told himself over and over again as he raced down the steps with tears in his eyes.
Morro misstepped catching the hem of his own pant leg and went tumbling. Morro yelps and screams as he tumbles down the steps. Morro braced himself when he was about to land but was caught in mid-air by something.
Morro blinked his eyes in confusion just a second ago; he'd been falling now he was flat on his feet at the bottom of the monastery's steps.
"Are you all right? That was a nasty fall." A voice asked Morro.
Morro turned to look in the direction of the voice. Standing there were two strange men in matching yet equally strange armour. The only noticeable difference between the pair that Morro could see was that the one on the left had a soul patch beard and the other on the right had a thin moustache.
"It's all right little one." The one on the left said. "I am Acronix, one of the Masters of Time." He said introducing himself. "And the one on your right is my big brother Krux." Acronix said, introducing his brother.
"Thank you, Masters." Morro said politely bowing to the pair. "But I can't stay. I have to help Sensei Wu save (Y/N)." Morro explained rather urgently as he turned to run but Krux stopped him.
"Wu? As in the first Spinjitzu Masters son?" Krux questioned the small boy. Morro nodded and pointed at the monastery. "Yes, that's him." Morro affirmed. "But I have to see Mistaké." Morro quickly added.
"We'll go with you." Acronix offered. Krux pulled a face but said nothing. "Then quickly (Y/N) is very sick." Morro urged.
Mistaké was angrily packing up some of her teas when Acronix and Krux walked into the remains of her destroyed shop with Morro in tow.
"Miss Mistaké! Miss Mistaké!" Morro shouted for the old woman. "Yes, what is it?" Mistaké said in her signature grouchy tone. "Wu sent me to get medicine for an infection from a grundle attack." Morro shouted, making double sure that he had read it right.
Mistaké sighed in annoyance and trudged off to what was left of her back room to fetch a bag of medicine for Morro to take to Wu.
"What do you think happened here?" Acronix asked Krux as the pair inspected the damaged store while they waited for Mistaké to return.
"That girl, Morro and Wu live with. That's what happened." Mistaké said, returning with the package. "Why? What did you do to her to make her do this?" Morro questioned as he reached for the package.
Mistaké let out another annoyed sigh when she noticed that the Elemental Masters of Time were the ones with young Morro when Acronix picked up Morro to carry him.
"Oh, Wu finally sent for you two. About time." Mistaké snorted and returned to her work. "Why would have Wu sent for us?" Krux questioned the old woman.
"Well, it's not surprising considering the girl is most likely the Elemental Master of Karma from the future." Mistaké said with a huff.
Acronix and Krux looked to one and other and in a flash, they were running towards the monastery with Morro and the much-needed medication in his tiny hands.

____ The Past ____
Acronix and Krux came crashing through the monastery gates with Morro all the while shouting. "Sensei! Sensei! I have the medicine!"
Wu rushed to see Morro but was shocked to see two unexpected guests.
"Wu is it true!?" Acronix shouted with glee. The younger of the two had always been rather excitable.
"Acronix? Krux?" Wu said in surprise that the two current Elemental Masters of Time had arrived with his student.
"Well is it?" Krux demanded. He'd always been rather stubborn and cold in his demeanour compared to his younger brother. "Sensei, the medicine." Morro implored holding up the package to Wu.
"Right, we must treat miss (Y/N) first then I will answer your questions." Wu informed the twins and proceeded to hurry to (Y/N)'s side.
"Someone from the future! Can you believe this Krux." Acronix said practically bouncing in place thanks to excitement.
"Calm yourself, little brother." Krux scolded the annoyingly excited Acronix. "We don't know that for sure." Krux warned his little brother to temper his expectations.
"Oh, come on. Krux." Acronix whined. "You can't tell me you're not a little excited to meet someone from the future?!"
"I like things just the way they are." Krux stated rather grumpily.

"It won't be long (Y/N), I promise. Just... Just hold out all right? For me." Wu pleads with (Y/N) as he mixes the medicine. Morro was perched on the edge of the bed near (Y/N)'s feet.
Krux and Acronix walked into the room. Though Acronix just walked in and Krux respectfully knocked before entering. Acronix's joy, however, was short-lived when he noticed with pure horror the giant crimson stain on the dressing on the girl's hand and just how sick she truly was.
Krux sank to his knees next to her and quickly held his fingers to her neck. He sighed with relief as he felt her pulse under her cold skin. Though it was very weak. She was still alive.
"She has claw marks down her back." Morro said sadly and held onto (Y/N) jacket for some semblance of comfort.
Acronix took to comforting Morro while Krux hesitated momentarily before gently lifting up the bandage to expose what surely must have been a claw slash, deep and bloody.
"Poor thing." Krux said softly and stroked her face with the back of his hand. "It will be ok." Although, it felt as though (Y/N)'s soft breaths were only confirmation that she was still alive.
