One week later......

Lloyd's povs

I woke up not on the streets but in a warehouse. It wasn't just a warehouse, it was the one I hid with Nya, my mother, Pixal, and Dareth. I sat up, regretted it a second later."Lloyd?"Asked a shaking whisper. I looked to my side."Rumi."I whispered."I don't know what would of happened if you didn't wake up."She said with joy. She hugged me, which I gladly returned. But her joy did not last long."What in the name of FSM were you thinking?! You could have died!?"She demanded. I sighed."I don't really know. I just couldn't stand the Overlord hurting anyone else. And if that meant I had to die, then so be it."I said. 

She frowned."If you died, even if you protected the city, I would lose myself. And so would everyone else. You may think that you need to prove something, but you are wrong. Lloyd, you have done more for this city. And...that is one of the million things I love about you."She said. She smiled shyly."Thank you."I said."No, thank you. For not leaving me."She said. I then kissed her, which she returned. When we broke the kiss, Harumi said:"You should get some rest." I nodded."Will I be able to fight?"I asked."Not for a while. And Lloyd?"She asked."Yeah?"I asked."Don't do anything stupid."She said. I smiled."No promises."I said. I then closed my eyes.

The rest of the team, soon woke up."Hey Harumi,is Lloyd doing alright?"Asked Nya."I am fine Nya."I said. I started to walk toward them."Lloyd! Shouldn't you be resting?"Harumi asked."Relax Harumi. I've been through worse, and besides I am not going to let that keep me down. How long have I been out again?"I asked."A week."Said Zane. I sighed."But seriously, what were you thinking?"Asked Jay. I thought for a moment."I guess it's.......fighting my father alone all over again."I said."Yeah...that was very stupid of you."Said my father. Normally, I would yell at my father and say the only reason I did that was because I wanted my father back. My real father.  But I now know that this was my father, and I couldn't change him. At least he isn't going to take over the city. I took a deep breath.

"You shouldn't have gone alone to face him. You should have -"I know. It was a stupid mistake."I said. The Overlord seemed to want me on his side, like he did a year ago. But he seemed to want it more than before, did he know that I could become full blooded oni? Is that why he wanted me on his side? And how powerful would I be if I did become full oni? Even if it was really powerful, would it be enough to defeat the Overlord for good?"Lloyd? Lloyd? Lloyd?!"Called Nya."Mm?"I asked."Are you okay?"She asked."Yeah, just thinking."I replied. She stared at me. She was about to say something, then didn't. A few hours later after talking and training, we all went to bed. I didn't go to sleep until midnight.

I woke up around 4 a clock. The others weren't up yet. I decided to go up on the rooftop. I stared at the sky, then the city. I closed my eyes. Only hearing fear, rage, and screams. Ninjago. My home. Was in chaos. I felt like I needed to get out there and save the day. But I knew that if I did that, the city might lose hope, if I died. Like Harumi said, everyone would lose themselves if I died. I needed to do what was right....and for now, that was to stay put."Lloyd? What are you doing up so early? And with your-"I told you Rumi. I am fine."I said cutting her off."I just don't want to lose you."She said."I am not going anywhere, as long as the Overlord is still here."I replied. She put her hand on my shoulder."I-I-when this is all over....I like to start a future together. I like to come clean about us."She told me. I looked at her. I then sighed."Okay. But after we sort all this out."I said. She nodded."I love you."She whispered."I love you too."I whispered. She then kissed me, which I returned."Hey-WHAT THE FUCK??!!"Screamed Nya. Me and Harumi quickly turned around to see Nya and the others staring at us. Uh oh.

Nya's povs

"EVERYONE! INSIDE! NOW!"I screamed. Everyone rushed inside. When we were all inside, I turned to Lloyd. My body was filled with rage."WHAT WERE IN THE NAME OF FSM WERE YOU THINKING?!"I screamed."Nya! Wait! Lloyd and Harumi live each other from what me and Pix saw on the ship."Said Jay."EXCUSE ME?! YOU KNEW THAT THEY WERE DATING?!"I demanded in a harsh tone. Jay looked at me with horror."Pixal? Is this true? You knew about this and didn't tell me?"Asked Zane."GUYS! STOP! Look, I know that I lied to you all, but the only reason I did was because I knew that you were all going to freak out."Lloyd explains."Cough. Cough. Nya."Said Kai. I gave him an ugly glare."All I am saying is that: I love her. And if you guys think I can't make my own choices, then you are saying you don't trust me. I know you all don't want me to get hurt, but I still love Harumi. And I don't care what you guys think, I just know I want to be with her."Lloyd said. Harumi gave him a thankful look. He smiled."If you are happy, then we are happy."Said Master Wu. They all agreed."Well, Nya?"He asked."Fine! But if she-"She won't."He said. I turned to Harumi."Don't screw this up, or I will-"NYA!"Yelled Lloyd."Alright, alright, alright!"I said. We started to train after that(Expect Lloyd because he was hurt), then started to talk again.

Lloyd's povs

The others were planning again, while I was lost in my thoughts and wonders. When all of a sudden, I felt....his power. And......his voice in my head."Hello again. Son of Garmadon."A voice said."What are you doing?"I asked."Giving you one more chance. Join me. You can be my number two in command."He said."In what? You don't have an army."I pointed out."I will soon."He said."Wow. You really didn't plan this out."I said."That is the commander's job. That could be your job. Think about it: this city took everything from you. Now, answer me this: Why do you serve this city after everything it has done to you?"He asked.

 I didn't reply right away. "Because it is my job and duty to protect it."I replied."Do you want to protect it though?"He asked."Yes. It is my home. And you are destroying it!"I yelled."If what you are saying is true, then why did you almost take over the city?"He asked."I-it wasn't my fault! The oni in me was controlling me! I wasn't myself!"I yelled."No, you were your true self. Didn't it feel good to let all that anger out? I know the feeling. And you can feel that feeling all the time if you join me. I can teach you to unleash it."He said."N-no way! I can't! I won't!"I screamed."But do you want to? I will return, think about what I said."He said. He then disappeared. I didn't know that I had my eyes closed until I opened them.

 Nya asked if I was alright. I said I was fine. But the truth was, I wasn't. The Overlord was right, this city had hurt me. Fate had hurt me. So much. Was it worth fighting for? What am I saying? I can't join the Overlord! It is my job to protect this city....my home. There were painful times, but there were also good times. But what he was right about it feeling good letting all that anger out, was also true. AHH! What am I doing? I can't let the oni control me! I would hurt my friends.....or worse! I can't let the Overlord get inside my head again. But what would happen if I joined the Overlord? Would I be more...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! Maybe I just need to sleep on it. I excused myself to going to bed early. I then laid down on my bed, and tried to go to sleep. But all I could think about was the Overlord and his offer. I finally gave up, and went on top of the building. I looked at my hands."I am not a monster.......Am I?"I asked.
