It had been several months since the former princess ever saw the outside world, her only glimpses of it was the sun shining out of her cell window and the chatter of passerbys. She thought she'd be destined to be stuck as a prisoner until the day she died, while she did have company every once in a while, they would always be sent off for executions unless Lloyd had something to gain from them.

"You sure it wouldn't be too much of a bother with me staying here?"

"It's the least we can do, having spent who knows how long in that dirty cell. Bathroom's just down the hall, if you need anything don't hesitate to call.. Umm... Your majesty?"

"You can just call me Harumi, since it's not like I have any power with him taking my throne.. I still can't believe it, everything he did just blown off when he made his vows."

Not knowing what else to do, Skylor helped the poor princess into the bath. "We look around the same size, you can wear anything out of my closet."

"Thanks... As long as it's not green, I don't get what's with... Him and that colour."

"I remember my dad bringing up he had some rare element. Energy he called it, said it could become something even stronger called Golden Power, god knows what he could do with that sort of strength."

"Energy huh? I guess that explains all those green orbs he shot my parents with, I'd hate to see him with this gold stuff. You think he or that uncle of his know about it?"

"I really hope not.."

Down in the booth the two adults and the Serpentine visitors were waiting for the girls to come down. "Wu can't keep holding a grudge against our kind, it's ridiculous the way he thinks we're all like Aspheera. Why does anyone listen to him?"

"He's son of the First Spinjitsu Master, the guy who made this entire island and everything living on it, excluding the Serpentine. He retrieved them from some doomed land called Chima from what I've heard. But anyways, he and Garmadon inherited the unique elements of their father, Creation and Destruction." Clouse explained to the snakes. "Some time after the war, Garmadon had a son with Misako Nakamura."

"Well what happened to them? Why isn't Lloyd at least with his mother?"

"I.. No one knows where either of them are, believe me. Chen and I have searched all over town, the nearby villages and even out at sea. There's not a trace of them anywhere."

"Don't you have some kind of spell that can show it? Like that orb where you shown Skylor the end of the war and her mother."

"Hm, I suppose it's worth a try. Give me some space."

Murmuring his spell, an even larger purple orb appeared. "Ah, there he is. And it seems his wife and child are there too."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Little baby Lloyd was cradled in the arms of his father, keeping him close to his chest. "Oh Misako, he's perfect." He cooed.

"He is isn't he? A splitting image of his Daddy."

The soon to be prince just babbled, his eyes bright green and full of joy. "I wonder how he got his green eyes though, both of ours are brown. Do you think he might have any power like yours? I know you told me Creation and Destruction can't be passed down, since they don't come from humans."

"Ah yes, they come from dragons and oni respectively. Our father was born of both, while mother was a kind oni who betrayed her leader when she discovered how beautiful Ninjago was. Together they had Wu and I, but it seems he takes more from his Oni side."

"I guess that Serpentine pharaoh pushed him over the edge, do you think he might be able to see the rest of them as who they really are?"

"I do hope so.."

What they didn't notice was that someone they know all too well was spying on them, in hand was a vial of bright green liquid. "Oh brother? Mind if I come in?"

"Wu? I didn't expect you to be here. What brings you back to the monastery?"

"I just thought it's been a while since we talked, how have you and the wife been?"

"No words can describe my happiness, I now have a son! Why don't you come in and have some tea? You must have come a long way."

"Why I have." Smirking, Wu poured the liquid from the vial into two cups of tea when the couple wasn't looking. "A toast to you both, for such a wonderful son."

As they drank, the blonde man grinned as he saw his brother turn pale, hunching over he began to vomit.

"Garmadon?! What what did-" But it wasn't long until Misako's vision faded, she collapsed to the floor along with her husband.

"Someone who sided with those filthy reptiles doesn't deserve a master of Energy." Looking over at the sleeping Lloyd, he picked him up and carried him away. "I'll raise you, you'll be a powerful man with me by your side."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In modern times, Wu was meeting with his nephew about the prison break. "I wouldn't worry too much about your wife. It's the Serpentine that you must eliminate." He explained. "Besides, it's because of their deity that your parents are dead."

"Grr, those snakes think they could trick them into thinking they're good just to pump them full of venom?! I ought to deal with them myself!"

"As powerful as you are, Energy alone won't be enough to drive the Serpentine underground where they belong. Tell me Lloyd, have I ever told you about the Dark Island?"
