AN: Hope you like the first oneshot in this new series of mine. This story will be about the TV show instead of the movie.

Set before the pilot episodes

Lego owns Ninjago

The dark shadows whipped past the window, slightly illuminated by the soft moonlight. The car bumped along the gravely road, climbing a small hill. In the distance, Lloyd could see a dark form, like a building, sat on the top of the hill. Once again, Lloyd asked his mother where they were going.

"Somewhere you will like, l promise." Misako replied sternly, gripping the steering wheel tightly as they turned a corner. Lloyd sat back against the seat, scared by his mum's anger. Have I done something wrong?

The five year old fiddled with his seatbelt, anxiety clawing at his stomach. His mother had always been stressed, but in the past few days, she had gotten even worse. She would shout at him, and blame him for everything that went wrong. Lloyd was terrified that he had driven her to it, but he couldn't work out what he had done wrong.

The road rose steeply, pushing Lloyd back in his seat. He glanced out of the window and saw the dark forest falling away, to reveal a hillside of short grass. Up ahead, the large building was illuminated by the car's headlights. It was tall, and surrounded by a wall. It looked dark and foreboding. Lloyd shivered and looked away.

As the car slowed, stopping just before the entrance to the building's garden. Misako jumped out of the car, then walked around the side to open Lloyd's door. Scared, Lloyd stayed put. But his mum was at the end of her patience and grabbed his arm, tugging him out of the car. Lloyd stumbled as he landed on the gravel path.

He watched as his mum marched up to the front of the building. As he scrambled after her, he caught a glimpse of the sign that hung over the entrance. Darkly's boarding school for bad boys.

Lloyd shivered, both from the bitingly cold wind, and the meaning of the words. He panicked as he realised that he might get left here. He didn't want to leave his mum, he loved her. Why didn't she want him? Shaking, Lloyd reached the main door, where his mother was stood.

She paced by the door, wringing her hand nervously. Lloyd shivered and leaned against her leg, hoping for some comfort or warmth. But she just nudged him away, tapping her foot impatiently. Lloyd sniffed sadly.

Suddenly, Misako crouched down and placed her hands on the five year old's shoulders. Lloyd looked up a her, and was surprised to see tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Lloyd, you need to be a big boy now." She whispered in a nervous voice. "Remember to be good, and try your best. I love you, and I'll see you again one day."

"What?" Was all Lloyd was able to get out before his mother kissed him on the head and gave him a quick hug, then disappeared down the path. Lloyd stumbled after her, but tripped on a rock, hitting the ground.

By the time he had got back to his feet, the car was pulling away, and disappeared into the dark night. Lloyd cried out with shock and panic. Why has she left me? Confusion clouded his mind, but one fact remained clear, she didn't want him.

Sitting down on the damp, cold grass, Lloyd began crying. His body was racked with sobs as he sat there, head lowered. Thoughts ran through his mind, as he tried to work out why she had abandoned him.

He tried to be brave, tried to stop the tears, but they just kept coming. The child wiped at his eyes frantically, curling his legs up to his chest. Stop being stupid Lloyd, you're on your own now!

On his own. The thought scared him. How could he survive on his own, without his mum. He'd already lost his dad, and now he was motherless as well. A cold feeling settled in his stomach, chilling his whole body. Alone...

He didn't know how much time past, all he knew was that he was now alone, cold, and scared. After a while, he noticed that the area had got slightly lighter. He looked up, and saw the beginning of the sunrise. Where it might once have cheered him up, the sunrise now only signified the first day of his life as an unwanted child.

He wanted to cry, but he had run out of tears. Instead, he just sobbed dryly. I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone...

Because he was so lost in his thoughts, he didn't feel the hand that grabbed his shoulder until he was unceremoniously pulled up onto his feet. He batted the hand away, looking up to glare at his attacker.

It was a tall, stern-looking man, with dark eyes and even darker hair. The man scowled at him. Lloyd glared back at him, too frustrated to consider weather or not it was a good idea. The man just grabbed his hand and led him into the building. Lloyd tried to pull out of his grasp, but was quickly slapped for his efforts.

"Behave boy! You're a student now, and I will not tolerate any disobedience!" The man snapped angrily. Lloyd cowered back, lowering his head and staying silent. He received another, harsher slap. Confused, Lloyd flinched away and look at the man again.

"You must learn not to behave. This is a school for only the worse, most despicable boys. If you can't live up to those standards, you will be kicked out." The man hissed fiercely. Lloyd realised it had been a test. Lloyd almost nodded, but stopped at the last second. Instead, he spat in the man's face.

Surprised, the man glared at him, but didn't hit him. They continued into the building, stopping in the doorway.

"Welcome to your new home, Lloyd Garmadon." The dark man said, looking down at him. "This is the Darkly's boarding school for bad boys!"

Lloyd was scared, but he put on an indifferent face, looking calmly at the inside of the school. This is my new life now, I just have to deal with it!

AN: and that's the first one. Hope you liked it. Please leave suggestions for my next one, I'm bad at ideas.

As you can probably tell, I hate Misako. She had no real reason to abandon Lloyd. I think she was just to stressed to care for him. I also think she didn't know he was the green ninja, because why would you leave a future hero at a school for bad children. I think she just made it up to manipulate Lloyd into liking her. And then she spends her whole time flirting with Wu!
