I hope you enjoy this story
Lloyd enters the room where he told his friends to meet him. As he suspects, all of them are there waiting for him.
Lloyd: Sorry I'm late, guys.
Kai: Hey Lloyd. Long time no see, bro.
Zane: It's good to see you again, Lloyd.
Lloyd: I'm glad you're all here. It's been a while since we've seen each other in the same room. How's it going for you guys?
Nya: *summons water from a bucket* Don't fuck with me! I have the power of water and yaoi on my side!
Villager: What-
Nya: *shoots water at a samurai* AAAAAAAHHHH!
Jay: We came all this way for nothing! I knew we shouldn't have gone here.
Cole: Don't worry, Jay. We'll find him soon.
Jay: No! I had enough of this! It's already been a year since we started and we still can't find him. This has been a waste of time!
Cole: No it hasn't! We just have to try harder to find Sensei Wu.
Jay: Who cares about him! We're better off without him. He's a horrible teacher and he always tells me to shut up. You just want to find him so he can call you his favorite student!
Cole: Fuck you!
Jay: Fuck you too!
Kai: *struggling to fight the Mechanic* A little help, Zane!
Zane: *freezes the Mechanic* I think you two need to chill out. Ha! Get it, Kai? Kai? *sees Kai frozen too* Oh shit.
Nya: Nothing too important. So Lloyd, do you finally have a boyfriend?
Lloyd: Are you serious, Nya? I told you hundreds of times before that I'm not gay and you still believe it.
Jay: You don't have to keep hiding it, Lloyd. Ninjago already respects your interest in guys.
Lloyd: *sighs* Anyways, the reason why I called you all here is because of this. *shows his friends the Sons of Garmadon logo on his phone* Seventy-two hours ago, the Sons of Garmadon stole a mask from Cyrus Borg.
Kai: Sons of what?
Lloyd: You know. The Sons of Garmadon.
Everyone: …
Lloyd: The mysterious gang that's been terrorizing the people of Ninjago city for a year.
Jay: Doesn't ring a bell.
Lloyd: Wow. You guys really don't know who I'm talking about.
Everyone: *nods*
Lloyd: They're a group who- Nevermind. All you need to know is they stole a mask and it's very important.
Cole: So? It's just a mask. I don't see why we have to worry about it.
Hutchins: *enters the room* It's not just any ordinary mask. It's the Oni mask.
Kai: Who the fuck are you?
Hutchins: There are three of them out there in Ninjago.
Kai: Hello? Are you going to answer my question?
Hutchins: If someone unites the masks, they'll possess great power.
Kai: Hey! Answer my fucking question! Who the fuck are you?!
Lloyd: Kai, don't talk to him like that! That's Hutchins, the council of the royal family.
Zane: You never said anything about him coming here.
Jay: Wait, we have royalty in Ninjago? I thought we lived in a democracy?
Nya: How do you not know about the royal family?
Jay: I never heard anything about them. I assumed we had a president.
Hutchins: That's because they keep their lives private and have the Mask of Deception. The emperor will give a public speech tomorrow. I fear the Sons of Garmadon may try to steal the mask during this event. I would appreciate it if you keep a lookout for anything suspicious.
Lloyd: Don't worry. We'll make sure nothing goes wrong. Isn't that right, guys?
Cole: I'm actually busy tomorrow. So-
Lloyd: We'll be there.
The next day, the Emperor's giving out his speech to the public as the ninja are on the lookout for anything suspicious.
Lloyd: *stares at Harumi* She's perfect.
Cole: Is anyone noticing that Lloyd's been staring at the princess for a little too long? It's already been an hour and I think he hasn't blinked.
Zane: It looks like he may have a crush on her.
Kai: That's impossible. He only likes guys.
Jay: That's true.
Nya: I hope you're right. I don't want this to ruin my ships.
Zane: How would Lloyd liking a girl ruin a large boat that travels on the sea?
Lloyd: You guys know that I can hear you, right?
Everyone: …
Kai: So… Do you have a boyfriend?
Lloyd: *sighs* Let's just get this job over with.
All of a sudden, they hear gunshots and everyone starts panicking.
Lloyd: GET DOWN! *tackles the Princess and Empress*
Emperor: Calm down, everyone. *gets shot in the kidney* OW! My kidney! *falls*
Hutchins: *returns from the bathroom* What did I miss? *sees the Emperor on the ground bleeding* OH SHIT!
Everything's going horribly wrong. Nya gets push to the ground which leads her to cry for help. Zane hears this and starts shooting random people with his bow and arrows. While Cole, Jay, and Kai are trying to help out the Emperor, Hutchins calls an ambulance. Nya stands up and sees that a lit up firecracker is the cause of the noise.
Nya: False alarm, everyone! It wasn't gunshots. Their just firecrackers.
Lloyd: *gets up* Oh thank the First Spinjitzu Master.
Jay: Well I think that went well. So Hutchins, are we getting paid for this?
Hutchins: You injured twelve civilians.
Kai: That's not true-
Random Guy: *has an arrow in his leg* OH GOD MY LEG!
Zane: Oh dear.
Hutchins: Also you failed at protecting the Emperor.
Emperor: *getting carry away to the ambulance* Don't worry, everyone. I'll be okay. *gets shot in the kidney again* Who's doing that!?
Harumi: *hides the gun* I don't know.
Lloyd: Isn't that your job to protect him?
Hutchins: ... Anyways, all of you are invited to be guests at the palace for some reason.
Jay: Sweet! First, I found out that there's an emperor and now we get to go inside of the palace. This is so awesome!
Nya: It's not that special, Jay. We've seen better things than a stupid palace.
Kai: Who put salt in your water, Nya?
Later at night, the team enters the palace and they're pretty impressed. Except for Nya since she's still acting salty. They enter the throne room and see the Emperor, Empress and Princess Harumi. Surprisingly the Emperor survived the gunshots and is doing well.
Hutchins: I would like you to meet the Emperor and Empress of Ninjago. Also their daughter, Princess Harumi.
Emperor: It's nice to meet you all.
Nya: This place sucks and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Lloyd: NYA! I'm so sorry about her, your majesty.
Emperor: It's okay. I kinda agree with her. Anyways, I'm glad you all came.
Harumi: I've heard many things about you all. Kai, you're the hothead of the group and the womanizer.
Kai: She got that right.
Harumi: Cole, you're desperate to find a girlfriend. You would almost do anything to find true love, even if it means dating a man.
Cole: How do you know that?
Harumi: Jay, once someone speaks to you there's no way you can shut up.
Jay: Hey!
Harumi: Zane, the mother of the group. You look after your team as if they're your children.
Zane: That's true.
Harumi: Nya, the girl.
Nya: *glares at Harumi and almost flips her off*
Harumi: The girl who writes wonderful fanfictions about Lloyd being gay. I read many of them. Ones where Lloyd's dating either Morro, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, and many more guys. Your favorite ship is Greenflame.
Nya: *mutters* I guess you gain little of my respect.
Harumi: Last but not least, Lloyd Garmadon, the green ninja. The youngest but the strongest one in the group.
Lloyd: *smiles*
Harumi: Also you're gay.
Lloyd: *frowns*
Harumi: It's nice how your family loves you so much, like my real parents.
Jay: What?
Empress: We found her on the streets when she was little.
Emperor: She cost fifty cents and I thought to myself "Why not adopt her? She could be Ninjago's next leader when she's older".
Harumi: *mumbles to herself* Sometimes I wish you just left me on the streets.
Lloyd: Thank you for inviting us to your palace, your majesty.
Emperor: It was Harumi who wanted you all here. She's been dying to meet you all. She said, "It'll be nice to meet them in person, especially Lloyd. Also, they can protect The Mask of Deception."
Lloyd: I don't think we can-
Harumi: Please help us. We could be in great danger if the Sons of Garmadon take it.
Lloyd: Sure. We'll keep the mask safe, right guys.
Cole: I'm busy again tomorrow.
Lloyd: No one cares. We'll do it.
A few minutes later during the tour
Hutchins: I recommend you to not damage anything here because everything is very expensive and some might lead to places your not allowed to see. Especially the cake room we have for no reason.
Cole: Don't worry about me eating it all. I'm now vegan so I don't like cake.
Jay: What about the whole "if I don't end up with someone I'll marry a cake" thing?
Cole: Shut up, Jay! Everyone doesn't need to know that!
Zane: I'm confused.
Jay: I'll explain later.
Kai: So Hutchins, didn't you say there are secrets in the palace?
Hutchins: Yes. Why do you ask?
Kai: I was just wondering if there's… *sees a bookcase* A secret right here! *pushes it over and there's nothing behind it* What?!
Hutchins: That's not it.
Kai: *breaks a vase* Here!
Hutchins: Nope.
Kai: How about here! *flips over a table*
Hutchins: Not even close.
Kai: Here! *throws a book at the window*
Hutchins: *walks away as Kai destroys everything*
Kai: *picks up Nya* I think it's here, guys! *throws Nya at a wall*
Nya: Goddammit Kai! I'm not an object to throw at things.
Later
Hutchins: *shows the ninja the Mask of Deception* And finally, we have the Mask of Deception you must protect.
Kai: *looks at the mask* Woah... Now that's gonna give me nightmares for a while.
Cole: So if we have this mask and the Sons of Garmadon have The Mask of Vengeance, then where's the third one.
Hutchins: No one knows where The Mask of Hatred is, but it won't be missing for too long. You see…
Lloyd: *walks away to stalk the princess in her room*
Harumi: *notices Lloyd watching her as she's putting on makeup* ...
Lloyd: *whispers* Please notice me, Senpai.
Harumi: *looks away from Lloyd* (What the fuck?)
Lloyd: Okay. I'll go. *walks back to his team*
Hutchins: And that's why we need you to keep an eye on it so no one can take it.
Kai: Can you repeat that all over again?
Hutchins: No. *walks away*
Later on the roof of the palace with Nya and Kai
Nya: All clear.
Kai: Nya, I know Lloyd isn't straight, but why don't you want him to date a girl?
Nya: Kai, you know I write fanfictions about Lloyd dating guys.
Kai: Yeah. They're okay, but it gets really annoying when it's all you talk about.
Nya: Well I really want Lloyd to find a boyfriend and I don't care if he ends up with a guy who isn't you. If Lloyd dates a girl then people will tell me to stop writing stories about Lloyd being gay, because he's straight.
Kai: First, Lloyd's gay and he's not into girls. Second, you're overreacting. Third, everyone isn't going to say that to you. The majority don't really care and it doesn't matter. You can live without Lloyd having a boyfriend.
Nya: You're right. Thanks, Kai. That made me feel better. *hugs Kai*
Kai: *hugs Nya* No problem, little sis. Don't worry about it. It won't happen because he's gay. *pulls away and sees Hutchins on the ground* Were you listening to our conversation?
Hutchins: *wipes his tears away* No.
Nya: Are you crying?
Hutchins: I'm not crying! You're crying! *runs away*
Meanwhile with Cole, Zane, and Jay in the palace
Jay: *eating cake* Hey Cole, are you sure you don't want any cake?
Cole: *tries to look away from the cake* I'm fine. Like I said I'm vegan.
Jay: I think you can still eat cake while being vegan.
Zane: May we please discuss Cole marrying a cake if he ends up single?
Jay: Basically if Cole doesn't get a girlfriend or a boyfriend, he'll marry a cake.
Cole: JAY!
Jay: What?
Zane: Cole, that's very depressing.
Jay: I know right. He says he's vegan because someone heard about his plan.
Cole: Fuck you, guys.
Meanwhile, Lloyd hears a crash from Harumi's room and runs to there. Once he gets there, the room is a complete mess and the balcony doors are open wide.
Lloyd: Well fuck.
