Lloyd sighed. As he was on the roof of the bounty just sitting while looking up at the sky. Sure it wasn't the starry night sky but still, the light was better than the darkness brought on by garmadon. He sighed once more, as he heard a voice calling his name. "Lloyd? Where are you? It's breakfast time!" Nya called. Lloyd looked down and saw nya searching for him. He smiled as he skillfully came down, however the raven haired girl didn't notice Lloyd behind her. "Hey Nya." Lloyd greeted. The raven haired girl jumped in the air. When she got her breath back and saw Lloyd behind her. "Lloyd! What are you doing?" She questioned him. The blonde smiled.
"Sorry nya, I couldn't help it." he apologized. The girl couldn't stay mad and smiled, "you always loved playing tricks." she said with a small smile.

Lloyd's smile widened. "Oh yes, yes I do." he answered. "But shall we?" He asked. She nodded as they headed towards the breakfast area. As they were almost there, Lloyd smiled, "do you remember when I turned Zane's ninja suit pink?" Nya smiled at that as they headed in the room. "Of course I remember that. Although,I'm surprised they didn't think it was you." nya told him. "I mean you were eight so how could they not suspect you?" Lloyd shrugged at her question. "I dunno." he answered. As the two sat at the table. "What are you two talking about?" Jay asked confused. "Uh sorry we were talking about how Lloyd turned Zane's ninja suit pink." Nya answered. Zane smiled. "Oh yes. When master Wu was teaching us the power of rumors." Lloyd nodded. "You turned Zanes suit pink?" Harumi asked him.

Lloyd nodded. "I actually messed with Jay's sparring bot, messed with cole's cooking, best Kai's high scores and blamed it on cole. But it was actually all for a lesson. Master Wu let me do it and I didn't get in trouble." He explained. "Oh yeah. Lloyd I wanted to ask you, how did you mess with my bot?" Jay asked. Lloyd smiled. "Nya helped me with it." He explained the lighting ninja's case. Jay turned to his lover. "You did that?" He asked. She nodded, "hey you never let me go on missions so I thought it would be the perfect pay back." she answered.

"Whatever." Kai grumbled. "Anyway, you were a prankster back in the day." Lloyd smiled. "Yes I was." he answered. Lloyd sighed as he remembered the old days when he pranked the ninja. "Do you guys remember when Zane died?" Cole asked. Everyone went silent. "Yeah that was a sad time." Kai started. "We all went our separate ways, Kai was a wrestler, Cole a lumberjack and finally I although I hate to admit it I was a TV show host." Jay said. "What about Lloyd?" Harumi asked. "He remained a ninja and protected ninjago. It wasn't until he tricked us all to meet at Chen's noodle house so that we all see each other again." The blue-clad ninja affirmed.

"Yep that's when we were invited to the tournament of elements." Lloyd confirmed. "Oh yeah, that was crazy and insane but on the bright side, we meet the elemental masters." Kai said remembering when he met skylor. "Yeah that's when Kai fell in love with skylor!~" Cole teased. Kai's face returned to his 'trademark colour'. "N-no I didn't." Kai stuttered. "Yes you did." Jay told him. "Says you Jay, you're the one who fell in love with my sister without even seeing her." Kai retorted. It was Jay's face to turn red. "I-I yeah so what! Kissing Nya was how I found my true potential and Zane froze when he saw pixel. She asked him his name and guess what? he said a bunch of other stuff." Jay thought of a rebuttal. "Oh yeah well, Cole doesn't even have a lover." Zane told him. "Oh I do! it's cake." Cole answered. "I thought your body was a temple?" Jay asked. Cole smiled, "nope! My body is no longer a temple." Cole said. Everyone started to laugh. "Okay what's going on?" Misako asked. Cole smiled. "Back when Master Wu was lost, I gave up cake and other sweets to keep in check. But anyway If we are talking about lovers, when we went to protect the royal family, Wasn't Lloyd looking at harumi?" He asked.

Lloyd's face went red. He got up, "I um have to go." he ran out of the room. "Is he embarrassed?" harumi asked. "Kinda, he doesn't want you to think he's a creepy stalker because he was looking at you. You're actually his first crush." Kai informed her. Harumi blinked hmm. "I'm gonna go talk to him." She said as she got up, heading towards Lloyd's room. When she was there she knocked on his door. "Lloyd May I come in?" she asked him. As she waited by his door for an answer.

Lloyd opened the door and nodded. "Yeah sure come on in." he told her. She smiled as she came into the room. They headed towards Lloyd's bed and sat down, they were both silent. "Hey, I'm sorry if that came out creepy I didn't want you to think of me that way." lloyd started as he rubbed his arm. Harumi looked at Lloyd and placed a hand on Lloyd's shoulder. "Hey it's okay, I kinda saw you looking at me. But if I can be completely honest, I was staring at you first." she said as she looked away from Lloyd. Lloyd was stunned by this news, "you were?" He asked.

Harumi nodded. "I told you lloyd, I've loved you but I knew I had to go through with my plans so I had to push my feelings aside." she explained. Lloyd hugged her. "At least that's all behind us now right?" Lloyd asked as a hand grazed her shoulder. She smiled looking at Lloyd. "Of course it is." she told Lloyd her. He smiled. "I'm so glad I met you." he told harumi, who smiled back. "I am happy I met you lloyd, you brighten my life." harumi told him. "So I'm guessing you're nervous Lloyd?" Harumi asked. Lloyd nodded. "Honestly I am, I mean am I really ready for the truth? Inside I'm just a kid." Harumi smiled. "Whatever happens Lloyd, you have a family that loves you. Trust me." she told him. He smiled. "Thank you rumi." he told her. She smiled. "Of course." she told him. "I would feel the same way if I had to talk to my evil father." she said comforting him. He smiled, "I'm mostly worried about the truth about you, like what if he says something a-a-and..-" he stuttered. "Don't worry Lloyd." she told him.

He smiled. "Thanks rumi. Well, I should go get the tea from Mistaké." he told her. She nodded. "Alright you go and if garmadon gets out of line," She looks at him, as she places a hand on his shoulder. "Give him a punch from me." She requested in which he smiles to. "Of course I will rumi." He goes over to grab his green backpack. Picking it up, the green glad boy placed it on his bed. "So what are you packing?" Harumi asked him. Wondering what the boy was planning to pack for his little talk with his father. Lloyd sighed. "Whatever I feel like I need." he answered as he looked around his room searching for his things.

Harumi watched as the blonde went around. Lloyd grabbed his sword from his place on the ground. "Do you think I'll need these?" He asked harumi. She shrugged, "maybe he will speak more if you don't have weapons." He nodded placing them back onto the ground. He sighed. Soon enough he was packed he sighed. But there was few more things to pack before he zipped up the bag. He grabbed a few photos from his dresser and placed them in his bag.

"Alright." he said zipping it. "Let's go see everyone and I'll be off." he said to her. She smiled weakly. As the two headed towards the deck, "Lloyd please be safe." misako begged. Lloyd smiled. "I will mom. I promise, I'll be fine." He reassured her. "Lloyd please, if he tries to attack don't hesitate to attack back." harumi reminded. "I know rumi, don't worry." he told her. "Be safe lloyd, I've tried to protect you ever since this whole thing and I don't wanna lose you to this."Nya called over. Lloyd smiled at that. "I promise I'll be safe nya." More cheers were heard. "Good luck lloyd!" Uv called. "Bye green ninja!" Killow called. "Bye Lloyd!" Harumi shouted. "Good luck kid!" Ronin told him. "May the wind be in ye sails." Soto called to Lloyd. Lloyd hopped down. "Be safe." harumi said in a whisper.

〜〜〜ー〜〜〜~~~~~~~~~ーーーーーー~
"Nice masks. Hyah! You could almost pass as ninja." Lloyd told them as he gets into a fighting stance.The leader insists to the others to distract him while he gets the zipline. Lloyd chases them down a zipline but the leader cuts the rope to escape, leaving his teammate behind. Luke screams, "Ahhh!" Lloyd catches him and turns him in to the police. "Aw man." he said as he was caught. Lloyd continues to pursue the others, he said as he chased the person, "P.I.X.A.L., I need my car." he told her as he chased him. "Your coordinates, Master Lloyd?" She asked.

"Somewhere over...You know how to find me." He said as he jumped off, P.I.X.A.L. catches him in his car. "Ha ha. I could kiss you, P.I.X.!" He cheered. "I don't think Zane would approve." she told him. Lloyd chases down the leader.

"Who am I chasing?"He asked. He soon received an answer. "He or she is not in our database." pixel told him. "Whoever they are, they're good. I need backup." he requested as he chased them. "All of the others are on active missions throughout Ninjago. You are on your own." pixel confirmed.The leader, still in possession of the Mask, escapes with a parachute with the Sons of Garmadon logo on it. Lloyd looked up in awe. "Master Lloyd, are you all right? Are you there?" Pixel called. "Yeah, I'm here. It's time to get the team back." Lloyd said into the communicator.
〜〜〜ー〜〜〜~~~~~~~~~ーーーーーー~
Lloyd sighed as he went through the streets. This is how this entire mess started. He looked up, "Bizarro Zane where are you?" He asked looking at the sky. He missed him. He would always be so kind to him, make him laugh, like his father did. At times he felt like he had two dads. He smiled at that thought. As he continues to walk to where he was meeting Mistaké. He kept walking and he saw his city was in a terrible shape, he couldn't help but feel like this was fault. If he hadn't gone to face his father maybe...just maybe...- the city would be fine. He exhaled. He couldn't focus on that, he needs to focus on saving the city. As he looked around he saw smoke was seen around the city, he continued his walk. Soon enough, he was there and snuck into the old rickety building looking for the woman.

He didn't see her at first since the building was so dark. He continued looking for the women, he stepped on a rat and he shrieked. Thinking it was a spider, he was really actually scared of anything, until that spooky lullaby harumi sung. He sighed, he was sure that soon he wouldn't be scared of them anymore. But if you've been through what Lloyd had, you would be scared as well. He coughed as dust got into his mouth. Lloyd groaned, why did Mistaké want to meet here? why couldn't it be at her tea shop? or her coming to the bounty? He groaned. He hated this type of place. By being a prisoner of the serpentine and being trapped underground, he was left in the darkness when Pythor would put out the torches.

As he turned a corner, he was met with the 'Dark lord's face' "Boo!" came Mistaké's voice. Lloyd tripped over his feet and fell to the ground as a laugh was heard. Looking up, he was met with: "Mistaké?" Lloyd asked as he got up from the ground. The women nodded as she changed back into her normal skin tone. "I'm sorry young garmadon, I just couldn't resist." Lloyd smiled, "it's fine Mistaké. I promise. I know what it's like to prank people. I used to prank people when I was a young kid." Mistaké smiled. "Now then, are you sure you wanna do this?" Mistaké asked him. The blonde nodded, "yes we need to figure out how we can save the city. I'm willing to take this risk." The women sighed as she started to brew the tea.

"So how is everything going with the resistance?" She questioned. Lloyd smiled. "Oh everything is going good. We all came to a decision with this and I'm nervous about talking to my father." he admitted to the woman. "Don't you worry young garmadon, he's tied up there's no way he could attack you." the woman reminded.

Lloyd smiled as he looked at Mistaké, "you're right. I just hope I'm ready." he admitted to her. Mistaké placed a hand on Lloyd's shoulder. "I know you are ready, you've grown young master." Lloyd nodded. "Yeah, I know. I have, I know I had to endure but I've been used by my father to hurt the resistance and I hate myself for letting it happen." He affirmed. The woman frowned as a whistle was heard. "Oh it's ready." she told the boy as she handed him a bag. Lloyd nodded. "thanks." then headed to go back to the SOG lair.

Meanwhile back with the resistance, Harumi was in her room looking at an old scrapbook. She smiled as she looked at the photos of her and her real and adoptive parents. She sighed as she looked out the window, she really hoped Lloyd was okay. She wasn't kidding about killing garmadon if he hurt Lloyd. She laughed at her little joke. Sure she could try and attack garmadon but she would probably die. Although, she would get hurt to save Lloyd. Her thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on her door. "Come in." she called, as she continued looking at her book. Two voices were heard. "Hey harumi." Killow greeted. Upon hearing that voice, she looked up, "hey Killow, Violet." she greeted.

As she set down her scrapbook down on her bed. "What's up?" She asked the two as they walked in. "Not much, just wanted to see what you were doing since Lloyd wasn't here." Uv explained. Harumi sighed, "I hope he's okay. Garmadon is dangerous and you two saw what happened at the prison. He nearly died." Killow nodded at her statement. "I know, it's just.. what else was there to do? I know garmadon hates to admit it but Lloyd's his son and he was the most likely to get him to talk." The big man affirmed. The white haired girl nodded, "I know I know it's just.... what If garmadon does something to Lloyd? What if he kills him? I can't deal with losing someone else I care about."

Uv sighed as she sat down hugging her friend. "Harumi, Lloyd's strong. He's been through a lot but he's always pulled through. He is very strong, he can handle what garmadon does to him." She reassured the white haired girl. Harumi smiled. "You're right, he can do this. He's strong and plus, nya will probably kill garmadon if anything happens." she said with slight laughter. The two smiled knowing she was right. "So what have you been doing?" Killow asked as he was leaned against a wall, not wanting to break anything. Harumi smiled. "I was looking at my old scrapbook." She confirmed. "That old thing?" Uv asked, it was strange she would be looking at something from her painful backstory. She remembered harumi telling her about it in the past. Harumi sighed.

"Yeah it's pictures of my real and adoptive parents plus me. Pictures from the past she told them." The two smiled. "You miss them don't you?" Killow asked. Harumi nodded. "Yeah, even though they weren't my real parents, they still raised me like I was their own child. I feel absolutely terrible that I'm the cause of their deaths." She felt a little bit uneasy about the topic. "Harumi what if they're still alive?" Uv asked trying to make her feel better. Harumi shook her head. "Not possible. The palace was destroyed. There is no way they are still alive." She denied her theory. " Hey don't worry. It's in the past. It's like Lloyd said, it's how we learn. The things that that happened is a lesson for the future to help one come over a loss." Killow told her. She raised an eyebrow. "You're getting wise with being with Lloyd all the time." Uv teased. He smiled. "I guess so." He responded. " Harumi! Killow! Ultraviolet! You coming? it's lunch time!" Kai called. "Yeah be right up!" Harumi called. As the three headed out, "Lloyd please be safe." harumi begged. As she began to follow her friends.
〜〜〜ー〜〜〜~~~~~~~~~ーーーーーー~
The Resistance continued planning how to save Ninjago. "Even if we were to get 'em alone, none of us stand a chance against his power." Lloyd told the resistance as they tried to make a plan. "Then we keep thinking until there's a plan that works." Nya replied not knowing the Sons of Garmadon were climbing up the Garbage Depot's roof. Dareth Gasps. "Oh, no..." he said in worry as he tries to get inside. "We can't risk an all-out assault. My father is too powerful." Lloyd advices. "Mm.. We must..eh? how do you say? Strategize?" Karlof suggested.

As the SOG were getting ready to ambush them, they lost the surprise thanks to Dareth. "It's an ambush!" He cried out. "Protect the base!" Lloyd commanded as the SOG guards started to attack. As two guards were gonna attack Dareth, he turned around. "Sorry, boys. Welcome to Brown Town." he said as he uses his 'Elemental Power.' "Oh, not again.. Hold that thought." He goes outside. "And welcome to my foot!" Nya kicks them. The SOG were grabbing Lloyd. "Take the son alive!" Harumi commanded as she and more SOG came in. "There's too many. We need to get you out of here." Skylor told him. "No! We need to fight!" Lloyd told her.

Tox uses her poison, "Next time, warn me?" Neuro requested as he and some SOG were engulfed by her poisonous clouds. "Hello mama!" Ultraviolet cooed as she pushed a table towards misako. "I am not your mother." she retorted, pushing the table back. Mistaké watched sadly from her spot. "Get Mistaké." Killow ordered Luke, who wondered why. "But she's just an old lady." he told Killow. However, the big man chuckles. "She's more than that." he retorted. Luke goes to her room but it's empty. "How did she..." he asked as a rat went by. "We're losing!" Lloyd observed seeing Killow have two elemental masters in his hands. "We need to endure." skylor reminded him. A masked Harumi climbed on top of a ladder, two swords in hand. "I missed you." She taunted Lloyd. Shortly, lunging at him.

"And you'll miss me again!" he retorted as he struggled to get her off of him. Skylor tackles harumi. "Nya! Get Lloyd out of here!" She shouted. "Come on!" Nya leads him to an armored vehicle. Meanwhile, skylor tries to get the mask of harumi but fails. Uv tries to follow, seeing Nya and Lloyd. When the vehicle pulls out, it hits harumi. Lloyd sees his mother being taken. "Skylor, get in!-My mother! We have to go back!" he pleaded. "You are what's important. Go, son." misako told him. "We will hold off! Get Green Ninja to safe place!" Karlof told him. The vehicle went out, "Wait for me!" Dareth called as he gets on. Harumi sees them leave. "After them. After them!" She commanded, seeing them leave.

"We can't just leave them." Lloyd told nya. "They aren't my concern. You are." She denied his pleads. "Oh...This thing has everything. Heh.." Dareth gasps. "There isn't a bathroom in here, is there?" He called out to the gang. "We aren't out of the woods yet." nya said as they activated the cannons. "Nice work, you two." she told them.
"Uh, I know no one is going to take me seriously, but about that bathroom..." Dareth asked once more. "No!" Nya and Lloyd replied in unison. "Fine, I'll take it outside." Dareth accidentally hits a Son of Garmadon off their tank by opening the hatch. "Don't worry, I took care of the last one. We're all clear." He sees Garmadon on top of a building and went back inside. "Spoke too soon."

Lloyd and Nya looked at each other as garmadon activates his powers. "Did anyone else feel that?" Lloyd asked, feeling that strange aura. "We all did." skylor answered. Nya sees Colossus coming in their direction. "We've got company." she told them as the Colossus follows them. Soon, It steps on them, "Uh, I don't need that bathroom anymore." Dareth told them. "It won't hold!" Skylor warned nya. "Oh, yes, she will!l Nya said with determination sparking up inside of her. "We're pancakes!" Dareth exclaimed in fear.

"Please, Dad. Don't do this.." lloyd begged. However, P.I.X.A.L. attacks Garmadon. Thanks to the distraction, she managed to fly up and target the Oni lord. "The Resistance never quits." P.I.X.A.L told garmadon as she shoots him with her mech's canons. Garmadon fought her and the vehicle is freed. "Hold on!" Nya said as they dashed off. Lloyd looked up at garmadon. "Son." garmadon snarled. Harumi glances behind her to spot that Killow has Pixal.
〜〜〜ー〜〜〜~~~~~~~~~ーーーーーー~
Lloyd was on the train. It was heading to the SOG lair, he sighed. As he pulled his bag up unto the seat, he unzipped it and he smiled. He grabbed one of the photos. It was of him and harumi, it was a photo that was taken a few days go. He smiled tucking it safely back down into the bag then pulled out a photo that was also taken a few days ago after the victory of capturing garmadon. All of the resistance was in the photo, smiling. He and harumi were hugging. He smiled. Honestly harumi made him so happy, he couldn't start to express how much happiness he gave her in the first place and he knew it was the same thing with harumi.

"You can do this lloyd." he told himself. "You got this." The entire train ride was silent and he was the one caught in his thoughts. Soon enough, it stopped and the train lulled. "Here we go!" Lloyd told himself one more time before grabbing the green backpack and hopped out of the train. He sighed. He headed towards the gate. Once in the lair, he looked around. He headed toward Garmadon's and he got closer and closer. Soon enough, he was facing the oni lord.

"What do you want?" Garmadon asked rudely. Lloyd sighed as he remained calm, sitting on the ground. Garmadon raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing?" He asked. "Sitting down." he answered in the most simplest way possible. He saw garmadon had a look of confusion on his face. "Why are you sitting down? Is this an integration?" He asked. Lloyd raised an eyebrow. "Do you really think I would do that?" Lloyd asked him. Garmadon shrugged. "I don't know what you're capable of, boy!" He snarled. Lloyd rolled his eyes. "Geez are you always this intense?" Lloyd asked. Garmadon growled. "Whatever you little-" he started. As Lloyd clenched his fists trying not to let his anger get the best of him, he exhaled. "Do you want any tea?" He started to casually ask garmadon. "Why are you asking me?" Garmadon asked him curious of why he was doing this to his enemy.

"Does there have to be a reason?" Lloyd asked. Garmadon was gonna answer when Lloyd came into the cell, helping him sit up right, then sat next to him. "Why are you doing this?" Garmadon asked again. Lloyd sighed, "we are enemies but we can still be kind to eachother. But anyway, would you want some tea?" He asked once more. "I'm not that much a tea person." garmadon admitted. Lloyd smiled. "I'm not actually one either." He revealed. "You're not?" Garmadon asked half-surprised. Lloyd nodded. "I don't really like tea. I don't know how master Wu drinks it." he told him. "But anyway, here." he told garmadon as he set the cup on the floor. "Do you want me to help you?" Lloyd asked him. Garmadon then looked embarrassed. As he went down and drank out of the cup. Soon when it was gone,

Lloyd looked at him. Garmadon looked at him also. "Can I help you?" He asked rudely. Lloyd sighed. "Look Lloyd what do want with me?" Garmadon asked. Lloyd gasped, "you called me by my name and not green ninja!" Garmadons eyes' widened. "I- I wait what no I didn't-I ugh! What did you do to me?!" He stuttered. Lloyd looked at him. "The resistance, we all made a decision and you drank the tea of truth. You can't lie!" He rubbed his victory in the Oni lord's face. Garmadon groaned. "What's wrong?" Lloyd asked him. "You're evil! You shouldn't have feelings- I mean after you turned me evil! and against the resistance." He continued. Garmadon sighed.

"Lloyd I'm sorry, I didn't turn you evil for evil purposes minus the resistance thing. It was because..... I've missed you lloyd. I missed you because you are my son." Garmadon confessed, under the tea's influence. Lloyd blinked. "Wha? You do?" Lloyd asked. Garmadon nodded. "In this new form I have trouble expressing feelings. When you were leaving in the vehicle, I heard your pleas Lloyd. I couldn't crush you. If I can be really honest, It made me so sad when I had to break your heart like that. I watched when you looked up to the sky and asked why destiny hated you." He continued. Lloyd gasped. He didn't know garmadon saw the exchange or even cared. He knew he wasn't lying because the truth tea. No this couldn't be real it couldn't! It was a lie. Lloyd ran away form garmadon feeling like he was gonna have a break down. "Lloyd!" Garmadon called worried. He was scared, Lloyd was gonna get hurt.

Lloyd ran into the streets. Totally forgetting his backpack in the lair, he didn't care about that at all. He just wanted to get away. He knew he thought he was ready but he wasn't. His father had to be lying there was no way that could be true. His thoughts were interrupted when he smacked face first into a street sign, falling unconscious.

"Where is lloyd? he's supposed to be back by now!" Harumi asked as she looked at everyone. Kai shrugged. "I'm getting worried, he would usually text back by now. I hope he's okay." Sensei Garmadon started. Misako nodded. "I don't understand, but if he doesn't come back soon, we are going and searching for him." Everyone nodded at that plan. Harumi looked at the sky. "Lloyd please be okay, please." she begged.

"When do you think he will be up?" A female voice asked. Lloyd groaned. "I have no idea but I hope it's soon, he smacked right into the sign, I hope he's okay." a voice told the first. Lloyd's eyes fluttered open and what he saw shocked him. "your majesties? Mr.Hutchins?"
