~~~~~
Everyone was in the dining hall, waiting for Lloyd. They were quiet, until Harumi spoke up. "Does anyone know where Lloyd is?" Harumi asked in concern. Where would Lloyd be? "He's around here somewhere." Nya replied. "He actually told me about your past adventures." She continued and bit into her toast. The white-haired girl smiled at that. "Trying to escape that building was insane.  Lloyd's grappling hook snapped and he fell down to the ground." she sighed. "but we did manage to find you in the end." Harumi finished. The water ninja's smile grew brighter. "Yes you did. Say where's garmadon?" She questioned. Pythor shrugged. "I haven't seen him. Do you think he left?" The anacondrai suggested. "Maybe Lloyd has seen him?" Scales told her. "It's a possibility, I mean he's pretty hard to miss. With his four arms and all." Fangtom joked. They all let out a laugh.

Meanwhile, outside Lloyd trained using his sword. As he attacked a dummy, he knew he promised his father he wouldn't train so much. But this case was important. He continued attacking, he realized someone was behind him. Lloyd's focus was attached to the dummy until now. Unaware, the person behind him was about to strike. But the enemy lost the element of surprise thanks to a certain warlord. "LLOYD LOOK OUT!" Garmadon's voice called out to his son. Lloyd turned around, before the weapon hit him. Lloyd turned around and saw Twelve SOG guards. The green ninja was overwhelmed when he realized how many were circling him. He turned and saw his father was on the upper deck, with a worried expression. It was unlike his father to warn him of an enemy's presence. He was surprised. Wasting not much time, he got his weapon ready to fight. "Why are you here?" He questioned, eyebrows narrowed. The SOG soldiers didn't answer. Instead, they rushed towards the blonde, ready to attack. Lloyd scanned around his battlefield and surveyed the people around him. Reassuring him that no one was in the sights, Lloyd started to attack. A guard surprisingly took hold of his foot. In the enemy's grip was my foot. After they  attempted to land a strike on me from behind. But I had to give them credit for trying to throw a sneak attack on me. Lloyd thought. The guard noticed that Lloyd has gotten lost in his thoughts, so he took this advantage to give him a strong kick to make Lloyd's palm sting a little.

Lloyd glared at them while remaining in his stance with his foot still held above the guard's chest. The guard grinned a bit and to make matters worse, grasped the green ninja's foot and twisted it, only to hear Lloyd wince. What a sadistic desire coming from someone was low as an SOG guard. The person kept his little show up, causing Lloyd to become even more unbalanced and felt a sharp pain through his bones. "If you're the powerful Green Ninja," The man smirked and paused to twist the stick-like limb in his hands in the wrong direction ever so slightly. "Then fight us and see if you can defeat us. We are more powerful than you think." The guard taunted, desiring for a real battle. Lloyd growled lowly, letting out pained screams afterwards. The guards around the two boys that were at eachother's throats, watched the green ninja jump away from their ally, his hand was grasping his twisted foot. The guard got off the ground. The next thing he felt was Lloyd's heel strike him on the cheek to cause him to stumble. Even the guard was surprised at his quick recovery.

Lloyd landed in a crouch to seem wary of his next attack. "Well this is new." The SOG guard shrugged. The blonde growled at his comment and cracked his knuckles, curling them afterwards into solid fists. He got into his usual battle stance as well. But instead of fighting, Lloyd quickly turned and ran. It sure surprised his opponent. "Oh no you don't!" The man deformed from his stance and chased after the fleeing boy. Lloyd gulped as he noticed the man catching up to him, he aimed at the guard's unguarded side to swing his foot at him. But the guard saw it coming, he quickly jumped out of the way, repaying the favour afterwards. He charged at Lloyd with his foot out. In an instant response, The guard caught Lloyd's arms and pushed him back to have him lose his balance. The green ninja blocked with his forearms against a strike caused by his opponent. But, the guard shot back with a quick hand, He threw a strike against Lloyd's right shoulder. The ninja screamed a bit and retreated to cradle his aching shoulder. The man smirked, seeing him do such a thing. "What's this?" He cooed darkly. "A weakness? For shame, the mighty green ninja has a weakness!" He mocked and turned around to inform his comrades.
~~~~~~
Lloyd continued to growl at him and refrained himself to scream in anger. He moved his nursing hand away from his shoulder and got into his battle stance. Lloyd charged at him and leapt off the ground. The guard saw him getting off the ground and he raised and swung his left leg out at Lloyd. The man felt his foot make contact to his chest to push him back and landed back. He winced a bit as Lloyd figured he may of rolled his shoulder in the process. He gritted his teeth to hopefully cope with the pain. Finally having his prey knocked to the ground completely, the man brought his sword up to end the green ninja once and for all. The blonde closed his eyes. Soft winds wafted across his face as tension grew between the two . That was when he heard a thump, his black pupils snapped open. He saw his father in front of him. " D-dad....? " Lloyd muttered slightly confused. The Oni lord helped him up. Garmadon then jointed Lloyd in battle. Relieved that his father joined him, it didn't take long for the green ninja to realize he was losing focus and felt himself getting pushed off his feet. Lloyd looked over his shoulder to see the wall behind him. Lloyd planted his foot firmly on the ground while tensing his body to turn. He twisted his body to start running along up the wall, thankful his shoes had traction to grip on the rough wood and twisted his body yet again. Yet with a powerful push with his right leg, He threw himself toward his enemy to tackle him. The man got afraid, pushed Lloyd off  and they all retreated out of cowardice.

"You okay?"  Lloyd questioned. Garmadon nodded. "And you? Are you okay?" Garmadon returned the question. "Yeah I'm fine." Lloyd pursed his lips, taking a minute to breathe. Garmadon was about to ask something when the other members of their team rushed out onto the deck. Harumi rushed over to Lloyd and gasped, upon seeing his arm." Lloyd are you okay?" She asked worriedly. Lloyd nodded, not bothering to repeat himself. "Some SOG decided to attack us. But they ran away."  Lloyd briefly explained. Harumi tilted her head. "What? My organization attacked you guys?" She questioned. "I'll explain when we are inside. But besides, don't start blaming yourself now. The SOG no longer below to you." he told her and stood up. She nodded unwillingly and they all headed inside.  After Lloyd explained what had happened: "Why would they try to attack?" Pythor questioned, rubbing his chin with his long snake rattled-tail. Lloyd shook his head as Nya wrapped his arm with a soft fabric. It was a cast. "I was training and suddenly my attention was brought to my father screaming. I turned around and saw twelve SOG members. I had no idea what they wanted but they're gone now." He paused to answer to Pythor's inquiry. He turned to the black-haired girl in the room. "But anyway, Nya wanted to show you all some weapons." Lloyd told them on the water ninja's behalf. It certainly caught her off guard as a new rejoicing smile formed on her lips. Though, the smile didn't last long as she noticed quite the issue. "Wait someone has to look over garmadon?" Nya mentioned.

Not seeing him anywhere: "I'll do it." Lloyd offered easily. It was quite the job for him, he was his son so he thought he could get along with the four-armed man easier than anyone. Afterwards, he ran to go find his father. Avoiding any retorts and disagreeing expressions from his comrades when he made his choice. Nya sighed as she headed to the weapons room. He gestured the rest of the team to follow her, when Nya  opened the door letting them inside, everyone was amazed at the sight. "Wow!" Harumi squeaked, amazed.  The entire team was stunned. The creator of the weapons walked over to the tool she used to smealt down the ores. The furnace was well heated and inside contained a whole new batch of weapons. " Alright let's see If they are ready."  Nya whispered as she pulled out the trays. Fresh steamed weapons were glowing on the tray. She set the heavy plaques on a nearby wooden table, she took off the gloves afterwards. "Careful to not touch them directly. Let a 10 minute grace period go by before wielding them or else it will burn your skin." she warned Dareth, who was the closest to the table in a small amount of time. He backed away, frightened at the potential injury he might receive if he touched the weapons already. After those promised 10 minutes, The blacksmith could tell they cooled down. "Alright Dareth, here try not to hurt yourself."  she told him, handing him a small metal holder.

The brown haired wannabe ninja was confused. After all his participation in the resistance, this was all he was getting? He was about to ask something when his fingertips did the talking and unsheathed the weapons inside the holder. A knife- height blade came out. Its fresh reflection pierced through his brown pupils. Dareth let out a scream and ended up dropping the knife on reflex. Nya crossed her arms and shook her head in disappointment. She decided to move on to her next comrade. "Alright, Skylor. Here. " Nya said as she carefully handed her a Kama. It was a scythe-like weapon used to wack her enemies out of consciousness. The master of amber smiled as she twirled it around. She could definitely work with a weapon like this. "Here, Harumi ." Nya picked up a katana, that had a button on it. Nya passed the weapon, to her. "What does this button do?" Harumi asked curiously, grasping the weapon in her hands. As if she was already used to wielding a weapon like this in her old days. Yes, how could she forget? Back when she was still in the jade palace, she would careless twirl and turn along with her shiny jade-coloured katanas back in the sacred gardens of the palace. Much to Hutchins' disappointment. Saying that playing with swords was so unladylike. However, her adopted parents seemed to tolerate the idea. Saying that it would be useful for her since she could easily defend herself whenever she was attacked. Not the best memory she had but it couldn't be helped. Nya smiled. "You'll find out."  She turned back over to the weapons.

"Ultra Violet!"  Nya started as she picked up a weapon. "I took your sai's and I upgraded them." Nya explained. As she she passed them to her, "I hope you don't mind." she already started to form an apologetic frown. Ultra twirled the sai's  as she noticed it was like her old ones but much better. "Don't worry, they're not too shabby for a ninja like you, water lily. " she teased Nya, as she stayed sat on a wooden crate and the most mischievousness of smiles was on her purple lips. Nya passed her and moved on. "Killow." Nya started as she picked up a Kodachi. It was a short but sharp sword originally created in Japan. She passed it to the big man. "Here try this. I know you're used to different-looking weapons. Like the mask of deception for example." she told him. Killow started to wield it and he gave a satisfied smile. "It's not too heavy either. I can work with something like this." He commented when she left.

"Pythor, here." It was the anacondrai's turn. She handed him a Chigiriki. It was shaped as a fishing rod but in reality it was a whip with a spiked rectangle edge as the main damaging part of the weapon. Pythor looked at it and hissed. "Fangtom." she called, handing him his weapon. That was Ninjatō. It was a regular katana. "Skalidor." she called handing him the next weapon: Nunchucks. Two karate sticks that were absolutely not wooden made. "Adicus." she said as she handed him a Kakute. It was a rubber-made ring with sharp spikes on the top. "Scales." she said and she handed him throwing stars. Metallic star-formed weapons that were used to damage your opponents. "Mrs.Stella, here." she said as she handed her a kakute as well. "Scales, would it be okay if I gave your son a weapon as well?" She questioned. Scales looked at his wife who nodded. "Scales Jr. Treat this one with care, alright?" Nya started as she handed him a Tantō. It was a dagger in a cylinder holder. "Use this when your life is in danger." She advised him. She clapped her hands when she finished handing everyone their weapons. "Alright, I'm gonna find Lloyd and Garmadon. I hope you all like your weapons." she told them with a warm smile.  As she headed out of the room, everyone followed her out of the room. They wanted to help her find them as well.

" So what are these? " Garmadon questioned. The two were in Lloyd's bedroom. Unaware that some people were watching, the two boys continued their conversation. "I think we found them." Skylor whispered with a skeptical look as she told everyone that the coast was clear. The members of the resistance walked towards the room. Going in sneakily, trying to be undective. "These are pictures." Lloyd explained. "Who are these people?" Garmadon picked up the photo of Misako, himself and his baby. "That's you and mom after I was born." Lloyd smiled at the explanation. "If, me and your mother had brown hair then how do you have blonde hair?" Garmadon inquired, slightly disgusted at the world's logic. "I dunno. I think I got it from Master Wu."  Lloyd shrugged and only assumed. Garmadon places down the photo. Before looking at the photo of him, and kid Lloyd.

"Who are these two?" He asked Lloyd again. The boy smiled again. "That's me and you. When I was still a kid."  Lloyd pointed at himself in the picture. Garmadon flinched. "I look..... different." Garmadon remarked, unaware if he should like his appearance or not. "I know. You look different because of the time twins and that's why I look different."  Lloyd reassured him. "Those two idiots?" Garmadon questioned, it surprised Lloyd that he remembered who they were. Lloyd nodded. "We had a battle with those two. Master Wu got lost in time." He explained sadly. Though Garmadon didn't bother to make a comment about his younger brother's disappearance. Instead moving on to another picture. "Who are those two?" Garmadon asked the same question. It was picture of him and the ninja that were posing after the defeat of the overlord. "That's our family. Dareth and the ninja." Lloyd's eyes widened at the memory. "Then who are they?"  Garmadon pointed at a picture right beside the one he asked about earlier. "That's me and the other ninja. it's what we look like now." He said. Garmadon narrowed his eyebrows. " Tell me who are these two?" the man didn't seem to have good memory. He couldn't even remember faces despite looking at the pictures awhile ago. He has so happened to have picked up a photo of Lloyd and harumi. "That's me and Harumi before I knew who she truly was." Lloyd rubbed his cheek slightly. Garmadon shook his head and placed the picture back down. "Ah, the girl I almost......." His father stopped himself for obvious reasons. They both went silent.

"Say, do you remember? Bringing back the grundle? Using the mega weapon to make the bizarro ninja?" He asked out of the blue. Making the last thing Lloyd asked. On the contrary, it made garmadon growl. "Those idiots." garmadon instantly responded. "Yeah I remember clearly. How they hurt you badly. "Garmadon suddenly got defensive over Lloyd. The boy bit his lip. " I remember that as well." Lloyd replied. Garmadon sighed. "Do you want to go train?"  He asked, wanting to get Lloyd's tense mind off of this topic. The green ninja agreed without a doubt.
~~~~~
It was now nighttime. Lloyd and harumi were on the deck hanging out. The ninja and his father trained all day and the rest of the resistance kept a close eye on them. However, these were the only times where they were together  talking, looking at the stars. Lloyd was teaching Harumi about all the stars and constellations. His father taught him when he was a little kid after the whole almost dying in a volcano fiasco. He signed as the two stared up at the starry night sky, it was beautiful. But not as much as harumi, he blushfully thought. "So right there is...i believe...it's called Aries."Lloyd tried his best not to give her false information. As he pointed to the d'installation in the skies. "Wow all of these stars are so amazing and bright."  Harumi remarked with an overjoyed smile. "Haven't you seen stars before?" Lloyd chuckled at her excitement. Surprisingly, Harumi shook her head. "At the palace, I wasn't even allowed to go outside because it was 'dangerous', and not 'safe for a princesses'. The only times I got to see them was from my window. But the view sucked. "Harumi explained. "I mean you couldn't even understand how overprotective they could be."

LLoyd let out a small laugh. "Actually i think I do. When  i was younger and became the green ninja, the guys  wouldn't let me use weapons because they were too sharp. I mean, after the tomorrow's tea incident, and I turned from an eight year old to a thirteen year old, I needed to save the ninja's from the grundel." He paused to swallow. "They still didn't let me go on missions with them because i was still too young. Whatever that meant. "  lloyd rolled his eyes in annoyance. As he turned to her, he saw the shocked expression on her face.  "Wait, What?!" Her jaw was dropped. She was surprised at that. "You um, turned older?" She inquired much to a nod from Lloyd. She thought all of this happened naturally. That he didn't cheat his way into teenhood. " I didn't care what the risk was. I wanted to save the ninja." He responded determinally. Harumi was still shocked, she didn't know about that. "Did your father know that happened?" She questioned. Wondering how Garmadon felt when his only son, did sacrificed as important as his childhood. Lloyd shook his head. "No he didn't. You should've seen the look on his face when he saw me. He looked shocked." He rubbed the back of his head. Harumi laughed. "I'm not surprised." She then crossed her arms. Then a thought came into her head. Where was Garmadon? Wasn't her comrades supposed to be watching him?

Worried of that thought, she turned to Lloyd. "Hey, Where is your father?" She asked him, looking around. Lloyd looked around as well, but didn't see him. "He's probably fine. Nya should be watching him" Lloyd assured her. "I hope so." The former quiet  one replied, unsure. "But anyway, when you turned older, they still were  protective of you?" Harumi was in awe. The blonde nodded at. "It was kind of annoying. Why couldn't they take me seriously? Why couldn't they be assured that I knew how to protect myself? " Lloyd sighed. Harumi was about to reply when a call was heard: "Harumi! Lloyd! Come on inside!" Mistaké called from the control room. Lloyd got to his feet. When he did, he helped harumi up. She almost fell down. But Lloyd caught her. "You okay?" He questioned. She nodded. "Yes.Im fine. I'm probably just half asleep. I'm all good though." she assured him.

The two then walked to the dining hall. It was time to eat. As everyone sat down, there were a few people missing. First was Garmadon then Nya. However, to relieve the table a bit. Nya was cooking, so she was probably in the kitchen, finishing up the last meals.  But where was Garmadon? Did he escape? Where was he? "Where's garmadon?" Skales hissed and addressed everyone. Lloyd shrugged his head. "i dunno. Do you think he escaped?"  he questioned. Ultraviolet shrugged as well. "I mean, it is possible."  she agreed with him. However one disagreed completely. "I don't think so. I mean, who was watching him?" Stella asked the group. Everyone was silent, not knowing who it was the one left in charge with him. That's when Nya came in with the last pates and served them. Ofcourse after she placed down the placemats. After she was finished, she noticed everyone's worried expressions. "What's wrong?" She lifted a brow and placed a hand on her waist. "Do you know where garmadon is?" Skalidor asked. Nya's cerulean pupils flared. "You...You lost him?!" She raged. Lloyd nodded in Skalidor's place.
~~~~~~
"Everyone to the control room! we can see if he's still on the ship." LLoyd instructed them. Everyone ran there and Nya quickly turned on the cameras,  to see: Garmadon was in the brig, sitting there staring at the ceiling. "What is he doing?" Fangtom asked, very confused. Lloyd shrugged.  As he sighed, he decided: "I'll go check on him." he told the group. As he headed down, when Lloyd walked into the cell. "Dad? What are you doing?" he questioned. The man shrugged. "I don't even know. Relaxing?" he answered. "Alright."  Lloyd said and he sighed a second time. "Lloyd, are you and your father coming?"  Nya's voice was heard from the top level. The blonde nodded, addressing to no one in particular. "Yeah."  he called back. As he walked, Garmadon followed. When they were back  in the kitchen, they all sat down. "So, what is your favorite memory?" Lloyd asked everyone. " Hmmm.."  harumi was the first to reply to that. "That's tough." harumi replied. "I know how that feels." The blonde responded afterwards.

Soon, dinner was done and everyone followed Garmadon and Lloyd onto the deck.  Garmadon and Lloyd were on opposite sides of the deck. Everyone  watched. "Ready?" Lloyd asked as he held his swords. Garmadon nodded. Lloyd gripped his swords' handles tightly and charged at his father. Garmadon charged at him with two blades skidding on the deck and the other two were ready to strike. When the two blade wielders were face to face, Garmadon swung his upper arms at Lloyd and were blocked then the dark lord swung his lower arms at Lloyd. The green ninja saw the blades and jumped back. But the tips caught his gi and he felt a thin graze on his abdomen. Feeling adrenaline course his veins: "Lloyd don't use too much power. Channel it into your attacks instead." His father advised him. Lloyd looked at the dark lord with his fury levels building up. Metal clanked against one another as the ninja and dark lord fought against each other in rage. Lloyd parried his father's lower left sword and twirled his body afterwards used his hidden strength to knock the sword out of his grasp.

"Very good Lloyd." Garmadon complimented. "Now get ready because this might be dangerous!" Garmadon growled through his teeth and continued to fight with the remaining swords. Lloyd kept blocking his fathers' swords and parried another attack. He swung his right leg as his fathers' left unprotected side to make him grunt in pain and twirled his body to knock another sword away. "Good job Lloyd. Now remember, fight not with your mind but with your heart." The Oni lord reminded him. Garmadon growled in rage and parried an attack from Lloyd and swung his lower arms at his  son's face and made contact. Lloyd let out a small gasp to a surprise attack and had his back turned from the momentum of the punch on his uncle. Garmadon held out his free hand and fired a purple bolt at Lloyd's' back.

Lloyd flew forward and grunted in pain as he made contact to the deck and prompt himself into a crouch and spat blood from his mouth. "Lloyd, you're thinking too much. Try to fight without thinking. A merciless run." Garmadon narrowed a brow. Lloyd gripped his swords tightly, getting back to his feet and he charged at Garmadon. he sent attacks at Garmadon while he blocked them. The green ninja swung a low kick to the dark lord's thigh and stood on his hands to swing his legs to kick him in the chest. The dark lord stumbled back and charged back at Lloyd and surrounded himself in a dark purple tornado: his spinjitzu. Lloyd saw the threat and surrounded himself in his green spinjitzu and both collided. Garmadon's tornado spun strong and Lloyd's spun weakly. Noticing that, Garmadon stopped and sent a powerful kick to make Lloyd stop and flew him back. "Remember, Lloyd you may be small, but you're  powerful." He reminded his son. Lloyd nodded as he landed safely on the deck.

He focused his attention back on his dad and the two began their duel over again. This time, Garmadon performed the first swing of the blade as he unsheathed it and almost took off a chunk of his son's blonde locks. Lloyd gritted his teeth as he glared and began slashing his sword against his enemy's. They both attacked with full force as they hopped from place to place. They spilt debris in half with the sheer force they were using. They screamed and cried at each other in rage and pain as they tried to wear each other out and make the final blow. As they fought, they ended up underneath of what remained of a concrete building. The ceiling was cracked as the beams holding them up were falling to bits. "Give up Garmadon!"  Lloyd seethed, as their swords continued to clash. "You won't win!" the ninja snarled at him as he tried to kick the man in his side. It backfired however, as Garmadon's free hand shot out and lifted him up in the air before slamming him into the ground.

The boy could only gasp as pain shot through his body. The warlord proceeded to pick the boy up by the neck before throwing him back on the ground again. This time he slipped across the gravel and the stones scraped against the teenager's back. He cried out in pain. Garmadon lunged forward, punching the ground. The blonde jumped back with a small yelp of deconcentration. The warlord concentrated, forming a powerball. The black-coloured creature sent several orbs at his son. But Lloyd skilfully dodged them all. He jumped behind his father. The blonde dodged the incoming punch. Garmadon's fist collided with the ground. Lloyd's opponent sent two more balls of energy at him.  Lloyd ran towards his father, his fists sending out a pack of punches several times.

Lloyd reached out and stopped Garmadon's arm. He pushed Garmadon back a step back. But the oni lord grabbed the ninja and sent him flying at the glass window of the control room. Lloyd, who tried to get up, only groaned in pain as he felt something wrong with his leg. It must be from the fight earlier with the SOG, he thought. The ninja tried to fold it though only he recited was a sharp pain making him wail out in agony. Garmadon kicked Lloyd against the wall. Seeing that he was weak from the fall, he used this advantage to grab the ninja's arm then formed a ball of purple energy in one of his four-palms.  Sending it toward Lloyd. Lloyd slid on his back and friction stopped him. " Alright, let's take a break." Garmadon cracked his knuckles and yawned. Nya nodded at Lloyd as well. Lloyd, walked towards his friends. "Whew" Lloyd exclaimed as he leaned against the wall.  "You're certainly getting better."  Harumi assured him. He smiled. "Thank you."

The white haired girl nodded. Lloyd walked over to mast, leaning on it afterwards. Lloyd chuckled as he thought when his father called him a leprechaun. "What's funny?" Pythor was curious to why he was laughing all alone. Was there a joke he was missing? "I was thinking about when my father called me leprechaun." he explained, recovering from his after giggles. "Why, you aren't short anymore." Skalidor mentioned. Lloyd shrugged.  "why don't you ask hi- " The green ninja completely blanked out afterwards. He suddenly felt as if he got hit. His pupils were still opened and felt like he was wobbling. He saw his friends and family. Saw, and started to walk over to him, that is. "Lloyd!" Harumi cried as Lloyd was wiped off entirely. He once again fell into a state of unconsciousness.
~~~~~~
Garmadon was on the deck looking at the scenery of Darkly's boarding school. Where he sent his Bizzaro ninja after the real ninja. As he continued watching, he heard new voices come into view. "Lord Garmadon."  Bizzaro Kai started as him and all the other fake ninjas bowed. Garmadon turned around. When he did he saw a bag that was moving. "What's in the bag?" He questioned. The evil ninjas smiled. " we brought you back a ''little'present." Bizzaro Jay explained. Garmadon smiled. "Which ninja is it?" He asked impatiently. Jay,Cole,Kai? He couldn't wait to find out. He was  like a little girl on Christmas morning. Which dolly would she get? It was then the bag started to move even more. Bizzaro Kai  growled. "Stop!" He yelled. "don't make me use my sword once more."  he threatened. The person in the bag stopped out of fear. Garmadon raises an eyebrow. He never remembered the ninja backing down that easily. Bizzaro Kai must have had some nerve to threaten someone like that. Garmadon then remembered: Well except his son when he was very damaged. But no, his son is safe. He's with the ninjas so he's fin- his thought was cut off when Bizarro Zane carefully dumped whatever was in the bag out. Garmadon got angry when he saw the person he least expected get out of the bag. It was his son.

Without any hesitation he ran over picking him up. "Dad!" Lloyd croaked as he was picked up. "Shhh..it's okay... it's okay." His father comforted. Lloyd buried his head in his father's chest. Garmadon's hands went through his son's blonde haired. He turned towards the ninja. "I didn't ask you to capture my son, now did I?" He growled angrily. "Sir! we captured a ninja and roughed him up a bit!" Bizzaro jay reported. "Correction, you captured my son!" He snapped back. The fake ninja that didn't see, to care much: " So what?" Bizzaro cole asked. "You told us to get rid of all the ninjas and he's a ninja. So?" He asked again. Garmadon was about to say something when he stopped himself. He refrained himself from getting even more angrier. "You know what? you are dismissed."  he told all of them grouchily. The fake ninjas understood your orders and they walked away. Garmadon was about to ask someone to do a favour for him however  Bizzaro Zane beat him to it. "I'll heal his wounds." Zane told him. The father was naturally skeptical, but he handed his beloved son anyways, to the fake Ninja. Who walked off after promising to heal his wounds.
~~~~~~~
Lloyd woke up and he realized he was in someone's arms. He wanted to see who it was but his vision was very blurry at that time and he couldn't see anything. He started to get worried that he was about to get pounced on or something. But as he thought about it, someone noticed his tensed state and calmed him down. By  humming a tune that little Lloyd could surely remember. It actually worked. Once Lloyd stopped, the person who was holding Lloyd, looked down and Lloyd recognized them straight away. "Dad?" he asked, half confused, half relieved. Garmadon kissed the top of his head and Lloyd giggled. "Dad!" He chimed, realizing that he was in fact right. "How do you feel?" Garmadon inquired and stroked his beautiful blonde hair. "Better than before." The boy told him. "Good." His father smiled.

Garmadon looked at the clock and saw it was almost time for Lloyd to go to sleep. "Alright son come on." garmadon told him. As they both walked to a bedroom, Lloyd was confused on what had happened since he just woke up. But his questions was answered when the two arrived at the bedroom. "I have to sleep don't I?" Lloyd began to pout. Garmadon nodded. "It's the only way for you to get better." His father replied. As he set Lloyd in the bed, He went back over to his dresser. Lloyd was confused by this action. Until garmadon turned around and Lloyd saw, a shirt and sweatpants in two of his hands. Lloyd titled his head in confusion. As his father picked him back up. Lloyd understood what was going to happen. He started to struggle in garmadon's arms. Not wanting to proceed with this action. Garmadon grabbed his foot to keep him from getting away.

Afterwards, he placed his boy on the bed. "Lloyd you will feel more comfortable when you're all changed. So stop it." garmadon instructed. But Lloyd still struggled and complained: "No!" Lloyd shook his head and deceived him. "You're  making this so much more difficult than it needs to be..."  Garmadon muttered as he was forcing the shirt down on Lloyd. "Why can't i do it myself?"  Lloyd whined. "You just had surgery and need time to heal."  garmadon told him, trying not to harm him. That caused Lloyd to falter and his father had  the advantage to get the sweatpants on him. "Ah ha!" Garmadon cheered.  As he backed away from his son, who was, take note, now angry, but tired after that little struggle. Lloyd tried to hold in a yawn. Garmadon smiled. "Alright Lloyd. Time for a nap."  he said as he picked him up again. Lloyd tried to get out of the embrace. "Dad! Let me go!" Lloyd called out to him. Garmadon knew what would calm him down and take a nap. As Lloyd was struggling, his father headed out off the room. Lloyd was confused as they walked. As they walked they ran into those guys again. "How is your son after the surgery?"  Bizzaro Zane inquired. Garmadon shifted Lloyd so he was facing Bizzaro Zane. "He's fine I'm having a little trouble but it's fine."  The Oni lord told him. "With what?"  Fake Zane asked. "Putting this little one to sleep."  The man answered impatiently, the little one Ofcourse being his son. Lloyd got slightly afraid when seeing Bizzaro Zane. He didn't know why but he freaked him out. "Hmmm...What would put him to sleep.."  Zane questioned. Garmadon thought the same then responded: "sometimes he goes right to sleep" he informed Bizzaro Zane. The fake ninja then asked.  "Does, he have any lovies?"

Garmadon thought about it. He thought about it, and nodded. Bizarro Zane smiled. "Do you have a bottle of water?"  he asked. Garmadon nodded confused. "Yes. Why?" Garmadon asked. "If you hand me your son, and the water I will show you." he assured the dark lord. Garmadon agreed and thus, he carefully handed his son to Bizzaro Zane. Lloyd's heart skipped a beat. His heart was beating so fast. He was so scared. As he was given to bizarro Zane, he just stared at his red eyes. "Alright, little one." Bizzaro Zane said as he placed the water bottle in Lloyd's mouth. When it was in completely, he titled it and the water sprayed into Lloyd's mouth. When it did, Lloyd's eyes started to flutter close. It was warm water. "See Lord Garmadon?" Bizarro grinned. "I can't believe that is actually working." His lord was in awe. Bizarro nodded. "I'll leave you Lord Garmadon." Bizzaro Zane answered and left. Garmadon smiled as he and his son headed to a room. Lloyd got more confused, and he was scared. "What was going on?! Dad?" He shakily choked out. Garmadon didn't answer as he sat Lloyd on the floor. As he headed to a chest, Lloyd moved to stretch his legs when he cried out. He then remembered what happened. He sighed. It was then his father finally turned back around. When he did, Lloyd's eyes widened. He couldn't believe it. Was it really them? Garmadon walked over and picked Lloyd up. The boy looked at them as they headed back to the room. When they were back, Garmadon smiled. But his son yawned. The water surely made him sleepy. Garmadon chuckled lightly as he went over to the bed.

When he was untucking the covers and setting his son gently down, Lloyd rubbed his eyes with his hands. After, he looked at his father. Garmadon chuckled at how cute he looked. "Some people want to see you." Garmadon mentioned to him. He pulled out: a stuffed puppy and an elephant. The puppy was: white but had a red spot on his back,his paws, ears and nose were also red. For the elephant, it was: blue with big ears and pink on the inside of the paws. Lloyd was stunned that they were still in tact. It had been so long since he last saw them. Garmadon handed his son the stuffies. Lloyd giggled a bit. He took them and held them out to his father. " D-dad!" he called him.  Garmadon shushed him. "Shhh, son." He patted his head afterwards. Lloyd felt his eyelids closing. Garmadon smiled. He leaned down to kiss his forehead. The blonde smiled. "I love you." The small child muttered before he fell asleep. The Oni lord nodded after hearing those words and he left his room leaving his son to rest. Little did he know, trouble was coming. "I'm telling you! His son is making him weak. Bizzaro Kai told Bizzaro Jay and cole. "What are we supposed to do through?"  Bizzaro Jay asked him. Bizzaro Kai smirked.

"What are you thinking?" Bizzaro Cole questioned, carelessly.  "I'll tell you later. For now, let's get ready for tonight." He stepped away from the two other comrades of his. Later that night, Lloyd was still sleeping soundly until a noise snapped him out of his dream realm. He began getting scared like any natural child. "H-hello..? is someone there?" He questioned, trembling slightly. When he got no answer, he looked around, "who's there?!" Lloyd asked now terrified. "Dad is that you?" He called out to his father. But before Lloyd could blink, he was snatched up into a sack. "This isn't funny! Who are you?" All was audible were his muffled screams and pleads to know his abductors' identities. The ninja received no answer and him along with the person left the room. Running into the halls, Lloyd panted heavily. He didn't like this one bit! and he's been captured already multiple times. Just great! Or should he say a million times already? But in the end, his father always saves him. He awaiwated for his father to rescue him again.

Back in the room Lloyd was in, Bizzaro Zane walked in to check on to check on how he was doing. He carefully opened the door, mindful not to wake him. When it opened, he walked in and he saw Lloyd wasn't there. He knew it was strange because Lloyd would never leave the room. He went to go get Garmadon after this strange occurance. When he did, and reported to him what was he witnessed, Garmadon ran to the room to check for himself. When he opened the door he saw, Lloyd's bed sheets were a mess and that his boy's stuffies were still there., untouched. The father began getting worried. As he turned to fake Zane: "Come with me. So we can find out where my son is." he requested. Fake Zane agreed,being the most reasonable and kind one out of the three other fake ninjas. Both ran out of the room and into the hallway.

On the deck, the abductor held his prize and he smirked. As he was about to get off their current location. "You stop right there!" Garmadon commanded. The person jumped when the loud voice rung in his ears. That caused him to loose his balance and fell off the bounty himself. Luckily, the sack only dropped on the deck and not over the edge. The captured victim inside grunted when his small figure hit the wooden flooring. The Oni lord ran over and grabbed the sack, pulling out his son. Lloyd was nervous until he saw his father. "Dad!" Lloyd chimed as he raised his hands to hug him. "Oh Lloyd, you're okay... I'm so happy." Garmadon reassured himself  and he hugged his son back. "Come I'm going to have you sleep with me tonight. I wouldn't want something like that happening to you again." Garmadon told the boy. "I hope you don't mind." His tone died down at his final request for tonight. Lloyd didn't object for he wanted to sleep with his father tonight as well. As they walked to the previous room to firstly grab Lloyd's stuffies then his pillows. They walked to Garmadon's chambers right after. But Fake Zane remained and even someone like him wondered who had the guts to kidnap their boss's little boy.

"Lloyd? Lloyd? Green ninja? Lloyd Montgomery!" Garmadon yelled at Lloyd. Lloyd groaned walking up. When he was fully awake, he saw his family was around him. "Guys?"  he asked. "Oh, green ninja you're okay..." Killow smiled at him. Lloyd tried to sit up. "What happened?" He questioned. "You were talking then you smacked right into the mast." Harumi shrugged with a small laugh. Oh. he thought, a tad disappointed in himself.  Then a thought occurred to him. "Why did you use my middle name? Dad?" Lloyd asked. Garmadon was confused. "What's wrong with your middle name?" he asked. Lloyd Bit his lips. "It's embarrassing.." Lloyd whispered sheepishly. Garmadon chuckled. "Can you stand up on your own, my boy?" he asked.  Lloyd groaned as he tried to get up. But couldn't.

" Here." garmadon said as used his arms to scoop Lloyd up. The green ninja naturally, felt dizzy. He emitted a soft whimper and held  his head. "You okay Lloyd?" Ultra Violet asked. Lloyd shook his head. Honestly, he wanted to reply with a nod  but he really, really wasn't feeling well. "Here Lloyd, let's get you to your room."  Garmadon suggested to him. Lloyd nodded, agreeing with the idea. As garmadon helped Lloyd walk, they both left rather quickly. "It seems like he really cares about Lloyd?" Harumi inquired. Killow nodded. "I hope young Lloyd's okay." Mistaké mentioned. Skalidor nodded. "I hope so too. Now come on, let's all head to sleep." the snake advised. They all nodded. Heading to sleep.

Although Garmadon seemed to be in quite the change, something in Harumi's heart didn't make her trust him. Even after what he did to her. "Never again." she promised herself. "Never again will I ever work for him ever again." she whispered bitterly and headed to her room. Garmadon tucked Lloyd in. Pulling the blanket up to his chin. "There I'll see you in the morning." Garmadon told him. As he headed towards the door, he heard the quietest of croaks. "I'm happy that I can call you dad again."  Lloyd called to him with a smile. Garmadon turned towards Lloyd, a smile on his own face. "I love you, son." he whispered to Lloyd. Lloyd smiled, "I love you too." he replied to him. "More than you'll ever know soon, I'll always love you, no matter what." His father whispered to Lloyd. "Night." he told  Lloyd. "Night, Dad." he replied to his father. Garmadon gently kissed him on the forehead. Lloyd smiled a bit on that. As he saw his father walk out the room.It seemed all too good to be true. Did Garmadon really remember how important Lloyd was in his life?
