A Werewolf in Ninjago
It's that time of year again! Instead of a generic Halloween special, I'm making a short story this year but with werewolves so it's still in the spirit of Halloween! This is an AU set between the time travel episode and when the Stone Warriors come along so expect some big differences. As always, the disclaimer: Lego owns Ninjago, not me. Quelle surprise. Now on to this year's Halloween story!
Prologue: Primal
Ninjago still had its secrets that even the ninjas haven't discovered yet. The Serpentine were far from the only threat to the world the First Spinjitzu Master created eons ago. The evil creatures that are now sealed in the underworld left behind their dark arts and some have surrendered to their evil desires and sought out these hexing rituals for their own gain, especially one man…
Wu and Garmadon, who had yet to succumb to the venom flowing in his veins, came across the bloodthirsty man who was filled with an obsession with bringing humanity into a primal state.
His name was Beowulf.
By the time the brothers encountered him, he had already mastered the dark arts and used it to change his form. Before their very eyes, his human body mutated into that of a hideous hulking beast who thought of nothing but sating his bloodlust.
A werewolf.
The young men and the monster clashed for what felt like an eternity before the former were able to defeat him. Garmadon, under the influence of the venom, vied to end his life right there but Wu, the more softhearted of the two, didn't want to take a life so swiftly. Eventually, both brothers settled on banishing Beowulf to the barren Forgotten Lands and placed a seal on him. If he ever attempts to leave his prison, the seal will activate and destroy his body and soul.
Ever since then, Ninjago had never heard from Beowulf again…
But looking back now, Wu wished he had listened to his brother…
Okay! Backstory's done! Now it's time to get to the actual story if Lady Luck will be on my side & my laptop doesn't do anything funny. Also, the end chapter notes will have some optional headcanons & confessions concerning the canon in the show if you're interested. For now, please review & I hope you're looking forward to this story as I am writing it!
