Aspheera's p.o.v.

Curled around my brothers, I watch as we enter a warehouse. The female holds us gently for Morro's hand is broke, along with a fractured leg. "More humans, and what is that." I see a teenaged girl walk over as the bot lowers us to the lift. I get off first, Lloyd supports Morro as he lemps off, getting on his other side, we help Morro to the couch. Morro sits on it as a woman walks over, nurse bag in hand. "What's your name." She asks. "Mor....Morro " I can tell Morro's hurting. I go over, nuzzling his cheek. He pats my head "Thanks Aspheera." "Anytime, brother." I say. Lloyd leans on the rail beside the couch, giving the nurse...

"What would your name be, miss." I ask. "June. June Darby, and your Asphrae." She asks. "Assspheera A-s-p-h-e-e-r-a. Assspheera." I say. "And I'm Lloyd Garmadon. Double L-o-y-d G-a-r-m-a-d-o-n. I'm Morro's younger brother, by blood." Lloyd said. June nods as she looks Morro's hand over. "What are you. Are you a snake-human hybrid. Do you listen..." "little girl. I'm not about to have you talk my earsss off. Asssk one quesssten at a time. I'll gladly anssswer." I say. The boys and bots start chuckling "Miko met her match." The younger boy leaghs. I go over, wrapping around hem like I did for Lloyd.

He hums, the warmth of my body relaxing hem. I can tell when he sighed, he was letting go of built up tension. My scales begin to viberate, easing hem more and his eyes begin to close. Curling into my belly, his breathing gets heavy, he falls asleep. "Three days since starscream tried to kill us, your the first person Raph has let near hem, must less do that. I'm Jack, June's son." I nod, tail curling tighter around Raph, he grabbing the tip. My scales still viberate as June sets Morro's leg and hand. A black and yellow bot walks over, he strokes my head. Humming in content, I lay my head on Raph's legs, Lloyd leans on my back as Morro joins hem. As one, we four fall asleep.

Optimus' p.o.v.

Watching the three, especially the serpent, around the children, I know, they are friendly. The serpent, Aspheera as she called herself, had curled around Raphael. She managed to do what we all have been trying so hard to do. She got Raph to relax enough that his body just said 'I need rest' and he is now asleep against her body. The brothers, Lloyd and Morro leaned against her body and now all four are in recharge.

Ratchet is keeping an eye on them. "Relax, old friend. They mean no harm." I say. "How do you know, commander." Ultra Magnus asks. "If they ment harm, do you think that Aspheera would be curled around young Raphael, or he asleep on her body. They are harmless." I tell hem. The day goes by, it soon gets dark. June lays blankets over the four.

The next morning we come in, Lloyd and Aspheera are circling each other. Suddenly, Lloyd charges at Aspheera with blinding speed. She douges, using her tail and trips hem up. Lloyd swings his arm, ice comes from his hand. Aspheera's body ignights in flames, the ice melting. She charges, than, to our shock, a blue tornado surrounds her. It hits Lloyd, he flys back, flipping and slides to a stop. Lloyd's hands flame purple, he shoots balls of it at Aspheera. She moves away in time.

"Imagine a river, let it flow." Morro calls from the rail. Lloyd closes his eyes, Aspheera charges. At the last second, Lloyd slides to the left, Aspheera slams into the create, Lloyd and Morro cringe as it busts open. Aspheera pulls free, blood coming from a gash above her eye. Tounge flicking, Aspheera charges, Lloyd follows. They meet in the middle, fists, feet, tail, and powers clash. After a bit, Aspheera manages to pin Lloyd down. He struggles but can do nothing.

Aspheera let's hem up, even offering a hand. Morro is clapping at the display. "You need some work." Morro said. "I'm out of practice." Lloyd calls. "Yeah, you out of practice alright. I wonder why." Morro says. I wonder why Lloyd is out of practice, as they said. "When you going to drop that." Lloyd says, walking up the stairs. "When Kai and Cole forgive you. You hurt them both." Morro says. "I screwed up big time. I should have stayed, ten years, we left them for ten years and we just show up, expecting a big welcome home party." Lloyd sighs. "Not what you imagined, wasss it." Aspheera said, curling at their feet. "The opposite, Cole almost choked me." "I wonder why. Numb nuts here told Cole's daughter to can it when she was telling hem off." Morro says to us. I'm amazed he knew we were there. "We heard y'all before you came down the hall. We ninja are trained to know our surroundings." Lloyd says. A flash is seen, a hole rips where the ground bridge opens up. "Ah yeah, they found us." Morro cries out as a bridge opens.

And elderly man followed by a young black haired man walks out. "You know how hard it is to track you three across two realms and three time lines." The elder said. Lloyd scratches his head "Sorry dad. Hey Cole." Lloyd said. "Its good to know y'all are safe. Ready to go home." Cole said. "Can't, the crystal needs to recharge." Lloyd's sire said. "Right, it bearly got us here. It'll be about three days, guys." Cole said. "Thatsss fine. Morro needsss to recover. He broke hisss hand and fractured hisss leg." Aspheera states. Black wings flair out from the sire, he goes to the lift. Cole follows, wings made from earth folding close on his back. "Morro healed Lloyd the other day, can you heal Morro." I'm intrigued as the sire kneels before Morro. He ghosts a hand over the wraps, a smile crossing his face. "This is simple, even something Lloyd could do, if he could use black magic." A black ball shoots at the sire. "If I remember, I put you on your ass after you tried using the megaweapon on us, Lord Garmadon." Lloyd said. Cole smacks his head, a resounding creak is heard. "Oww, really, your earth power. That hurt." Lloyd said, rubbing the spot. Garmadon smiles, his hand glows in the black fire.

Morro's face goes tence for a minute, than, a sicking creak has hem yepping as his arm and leg snap back, the bone healing. He stands, going a hand and a tornado of air shoots from his hand. "That's better. Hey, dad, Lloyd found his magic." Morro says. Lloyd activities it, hair turning white with blond tips and his eyes going silver. Morro does the same, samething happens to his hair but the green streak remains and his white hair is tipped black. Garmadon and Cole start clapping. "You have the mark Lloyd." Cole asks. Lloyd turns, pulling up his shirt to revile a snake tattoo on his back. "So that makes Garmadon, Morro, Kai, and finally you Lloyd." Cole says. "When we came out the first portal, Morro phased into me to save me, I was unconscious. Than Morro saved me again when we ended up fourty years in the past, where you and uncle Wu were younger." Lloyd explains. "But, during the first realm, Lloyd came terms about what the others did.." Morro begins. Garmadon and Cole look at Lloyd, Aspheera moves back. "What did you learn." Cole says.

"I should have stayed, I should have helped protect Ninjago but I was only wanting to get stronger. I'm near the same level I was when we left. No amounts of sorries can begin to express how I've hurt y'all. If you choose to forgive me, great. If not, I can live without it." Lloyd says, head down in shame. We all watch, waiting for one of the two to move, and one does, Garmadon. He walks to his son, lifting his chin up and pulls Lloyd into a hug. Lloyd clutches Garmadon's coat, sobbing into his shoulder. "I'm sorry, father. I wanted to stay but I wanted to get stronger, to protect Ninjago better. I've gained nor learned anything. Can you teach me, teach me the right way. I'm sorry." Lloyd just sobs into Garmadon's chest, the weight of his actions now proving too much. Garmadon rubs his back, shhing hem softly. Morro joins his father and brother. In all honesty, my spark hurts, you can tell so much has been placed on Lloyd's shoulders.

He's almost like bumblebee when the war hit. Lloyd slowly pulls away, Garmadon wrips his eyes. Cole kneels beside them, he rests his hand on Lloyd's shoulder, Lloyd looks at hem. "I don't know till we get back, but, I for one, I forgive you. Now, it's just a matter of if Kai forgives you." Cole says.

The day goes by and the family reconnect. It soon gets late, we turn in while the group stays up a little longer. Little did we know, we're in for quite the show tomorrow.
