(Show, between March of The Oni, and The Scrolls of Forbidden Spinjitzu)

Kai walked into the living room where Jay and Cole were playing video games, a cup of paint-y water and dirty brushes in hand. "Does anyone know where this came from?" He asked.

Jay glanced over his shoulder. "Lloyd's room, he left it in the bathroom and went out to get something from the store, said he'd clean them when he gets back."

"Since when does Lloyd have paintbrushes, or paint for that matter?"

"Hey, where'd the brushes go?" Kai heard Lloyd question from the bathroom, soon the blond was next to him. "Has anyone seen my-" He spotted the cup of brushes and paint water in Kai's hand "-oh you have them-" He snatched the cup. "-thank you." With that the blond returned to the bathroom, cleaned the brushes and went back to hiding in his room.

"What is he doing in there?"

"Painting probably." Cole shrugged. "I mean, what else would he be doing with paint and paint brushes."

"Good point but what? He doesn't have an easel or canvases, and I doubt he's using printer paper."

"Maybe he's painting on a piece of cardboard." Jay suggested. "I dunno, he probably wants to be left alone though."

If you think Kai is going to leave it alone when he's curious, you are very wrong. "Lloyd what're you doing in her- Did you paint on the wall?"

Lloyd, who was standing on his bed, looked at Kai, the blond had a paintbrush in his mouth, and paint on his arms, even a little blue in his hair. He looked at the wall, then back at Kai, and back at the wall, then at Kai. Then he nodded, set down the paper plate he was using to hold the paint he was using, and took the brush out of his mouth. "Don't tell my uncle?" He smiled nervously. "I've gotten away with this for a while but if he sees it, I'm kinda worried he'd kill me."

"I-"

"What in the world?" Wu questioned from behind Kai.

"Shit." Lloyd mumbled. "Hi Uncle Wu." Lloyd smiled nervously.

"Why in the world did you paint on the wall?"

"Uh.." Lloyd looked at his painting. "I.... Because.... I ran out of room on the wall behind the dresser?"

"You what?" Both Wu and Kai looked at the wall that had the door on it. It was in fact covered in a massive painting of a forest, Hiroshi's Labyrinth.

"Wow." Kai mumbled.

"Why? When?" Wu questioned.

"Well, at first, it was just because I found some paints, and painted on the back of the dresser itself, then I may or may not have had a bit of a breakdown in the middle of the night, and was trying to calm down so I didn't wake anyone up, and remembered that back when I was stuck at Darkly's I would steal paints from the old art classroom that they closed up a few years after I ended up there, and paint, and it made me really happy, so I uh, painted... on the wall..."

"And what are you painting now?"

"Uh..." Lloyd looked at the wall he'd been painting on, he didn't know exactly where it was he was painting, it looked like a field, with thousands of yellow flowers, and the section he'd been working on was a dragon. "I don't know if it's a real place, but I remember it being in a dream I had."

"Lloyd what is it you're painting in the field?"

"A dragon, it, uh, I think it was in the dream as well."

"This dream, when did you have it?"

"Uh..." Lloyd thought for a minute. "I think, when I was unconscious after the battle with the Oni." He explained.

"Kai, if you would leave for a minute, please." Wu requested, Kai nodded and walked a little ways down the hall. "Lloyd, I don't believe you were simply unconscious."

"Whaddya mean Uncle?" Lloyd questioned.

"Lloyd, when the other ninja, dug you out from under the monastery doors, you weren't breathing, and you. You didn't have a pulse."

Lloyd dropped the paintbrush he'd been holding. "So I was..."

"Did you see anything else in this dream Lloyd?"

Lloyd thought, trying to remember. "I think talked to someone."

"Do you know who?"

"I.... I think..."

"Because that dragon, was my father's elemental dragon."

"Him, I talked to him. I... I can't remember... Something about, facing destruction..." Wu began to leave. "Uncle, was I really.... Dead?"
