Dark Races

by KitaLoki

Trua, a mustang and Lloyd's companion since the days of the Final Battle, lives with him after the events of Zane's death. However, Ronin manages to import him to Chen's Island where he is confined and trained to race in the tournament of elements. But because of his wild and sometimes deadly demeanor, he eventually teaches everyone to never play with an animal they can't control.

1. Backstory

Hi. I will be starting this story for you but first you must know about the backstory behind this story.

So to get you guys started, the story is told from a horse's point of view. Trua was born on the dark island and lived with his herd along with other herds that had been inhabited there. He is a mustang-arabian cross (mustang x arabian) with a palomino pelt. He is wild, free, headstrong, and powerful. Nope, he's no dummy and is aware if that XD. WHen he's five, he notices something unusual and senses an intrusion to his homeland. His mother informs him that it is man. Garmadon captures him and relizes horses could pull stuff and be ridden if tamed and so the stone warriors try to handle him. Trua beats them all and escapes the camp, thinking of his herd. They are gone when he arrives back and his mother is killed by Kozu. The ninja arrive on the island to prepare for final battle and he watches them from a hidden spot. They finally see him and Zane is the first to "make friends with him." They all try to ride him but he throws them off but is a bit indecisive about Zane because of his calm nature and the fact that he seems open to him. Lloyd wants to try so he gets on and Trua thinks about tossing him until Misako calls them in. Over the days, Lloyd gains his trust and manages to get on him for a short while. Trua likes the company but on their way back to the temple of light, the stone warriors catch him again and put him to work pulling and hauling carts of dark matter. He realizes that his herd was taken for the same reason and meets up with them and finds out of his mom's dying. He is determined to get out of there but is broken because of the loss. (his dad was killed earlier from unknown reasons but that was when he was younger) Next day, he fools them all and turns loose on the warriors and gallops off causing confusion while at the same time, Misako steals the helmet. Trua meets up and ventures to the clock from command and finally accepts Lloyd as a friend. Later, the ninja train for the battle after the clock blows its horns and Trua tries to join. They dump him except for Lloyd who promises to return. He doesn't return in the evening so the horse goes out to look. He gets into a fight with Garmadon/Overlord once he watches him defeat the green ninja and ends up hurting himself. the next day, they all leave, but Trua finds a way to get to Ninjago city by way of a low tide and a "land bridge." Despite Dr. Julian's orders to not stress himself, he begins to gallop down the beach and finds Lloyd. Jay gives him a makeshift bridle he had been tinkering with previously because of them wanting to all ride him and gives it to Lloyd who rides him up midway the stairs. The Overlord is defeated and Trua is reunited with his herd in Ninjago city. Lloyd gives him the name Trua, which means Believe (its true. it means believe in Icelandic) after their phrase "Ninja never quit and horses always believe." Garmadon apologizes and both father and son hop on him and they race off down the beach.

And now on with the story my friends.
