So, I watched season ten and was unsatisfied with it. The leader of the oni totally ignored Lloyd, even though he is part oni too. So, I came up with this. Just read and be surprised. 😊
Up on the stairs to the big monastery, the ninja and the oni warriors stood on opposite sides. The sky above them was still blue. Probably the only blue sky in whole Ninjago. Clouds were slowly passing by, ignoring the fight that was about to come.
"Alright this is it guys. Pick your targets" Lloyd announced.
"I'll take the big one" Garmadon said, narrowing his eyes.
"He's all yours" Jay grinned. Lloyd knew that the others still had problems trusting his father and he had doubts himself. But they needed his help, if they wanted to win this fight.
Even though the golden weapons were back, the ninja still had to fight off an entire army of oni warriors. Their only goal was to control the world and destroy it. Garmadon was oni himself and the leader had asked why he didn't control this world. In that very moment Lloyd was scared that he would have to fight his father again, for the sake of everyone's safety.
But he didn't turn against him, not this time and he had saved him too. Even though he would never admit it, Lloyd knew that his father still cared for him, he wouldn't have done it if he didn't. Garmadon claimed that he only cared about himself, but it wasn't true. That moment proved it.
And in just a few minutes he would have to prove himself again.
The oni leader grumbled something and the others started attacking. Garmadon jumped down a few stairs, powers activating. The burst of dark energy forced a few of them away.
Jay made a flip an held the golden nun chucks in front of the oni, which made them stop. Some of them ran past Jay, right into Kai.
The red ninja used his sword to block the weapon of he warriors.
Everyone was fighting. Even faith, though she was still hurt. Lloyd was standing near her. Zane used his ice powers to freeze the oni warriors. One fell down the hill, but more kept approaching and there seemed to be no ending.
Garmadon shot the leader, using his power to throw him to the ground, but he stood right back up.
"Nya look out!" Kai yelled at his sister. She turned around just in time to stop a warrior from stabbing her in the back. This fight may be the most dangerous one they ever had to face.
Lloyd appeared in front of her, spinning in his tornado and knocking the oni away.
But the next one was right behind.
"Nya, use the scythe" Lloyd yelled.
"I'm trying" she yelled back "but I'm not the master of earth. It's not responding" the water ninja was getting frustrated. The oni thrusted her back into Lloyd, both falling to the ground.
"They're too many" Lloyd exclaimed. The warriors were closing in on them, leaving no way to escape. Wu spinjizued himself in front of them, knocking the warriors away. Suddenly the whole ground began to shake.
A large mech burst from the ground, leaving a big hole in the ground underneath it. The top opened and Cole came out of it, leaning against a seat.
"Hey guys" he greeted grinning. "Couldn't wait for he huh?"
Nya gasped and the others had similar reactions.
"How- uh- where did you-" Lloyd stuttered only for Jay to run past him.
"We thought we lost you, you jerk" Jay yelled. Everyone was happy to see Cole still alive and well, when they thought he was dead.
"Can't get rid of me that easily" he joked, and everyone had to laugh.
Suddenly Cole saw his old weapon in Nya's hands. "Is that my old scythe?" he asked.
"Yes, and you can have it back!" Nya threw the scythe to Cole, who put on his mask and jumped up, catching it. He knocked it in the ground, throwing more oni warriors away, a cloud of smoke following.
In that moment everything went well again. All ninja used their powers to fight against the oni.
While that was happening, Garmadon was still fighting against the leader. He used his powers, knocking the leader against a single tree. But before the power hit him, he absorbed it into his staff.
"You only delay the inevitable. We can not be defeated!" the leader spoke in his deep dark voice. He sounded like a demon, close to the overlord's voice.
The leader jumped, throwing Coles machine down from the hill.
"This grows tiresome. I think it's time we evened things out a bit" Garmadon retorted. He called upon his powers once more and changed his form. Now he looked almost like the leader, with horns and a staff. He threw himself at the leader, making him fall into the depth.
He chuckled. "Now that I have my own stick let's try this again."
He began fighting the oni again, beating one after the other.
"They just keep coming" Jay yelled. And it didn't take long for the oni leader to come back either. Once thrown down, the oni just climbed up again.
"The weapons! They are not enough" Zane yelled in disbelieve. For once the weapons of Spinjitzu could do nothing but stall the enemy.
"You are oni" the leader said, throwing Garmadon backwards. "But only in form" he continued.
"In your heart I sense uncertainty and doubt" he explained, walking forwards, towards Garmadon.
Garmadon was tempted to look away. He certainly would not make this conversation. He made his own choices and not even his son could control them. He was thrown back again, landing on the ground.
Lloyd looked at his father, seeing him on the ground, weapon out of hands.
"Part of you longs to understand these pitiful beings… to be one of them" he struck Garmadon again.
"Your hopes weaken you!"
"Father!" Lloyd yelled, running towards him. By the time Lloyd reached him, Garmadon looked like his more or less old self again.
The leader sent a burst of energy towards Lloyd, making him crash into the monastery door. He gasped, standing up again.
The leader and Lloyd stared at each other and for the first time he seemed to notice something.
"You are a partling" he meant walking closer. Lloyd himself had nowhere to go.
"Part oni part human. Your human side seems to be stronger though" he mused.
Lloyd became uneasy. He was both yes, but he was also dragon. The leader would know that too, if he could sense just a part of him.
"I am part human, part oni and part dragon" he explained slowly.
"Yes, that must be it. That is the reason you are good" he mused, walking even closer.
"Stay back" Lloyd hissed, drawing his sword and pointing it at the leader.
"That sword can do nothing to hurt me boy. This man" he pointed at his father "has no right to be oni, if he is not willing to fulfil his purpose".
"And?" Lloyd asked. "he's not exactly doing it because he wants to. It's this or prison" Lloyd narrowed his eyes. He didn't like where this was going.
"You seem to be more fitting" he grunted.
"What!" the young Garmadon was shocked to hear this. This was not what he expected.
"You are oni and dragon. The most powerful of all. Perfectly fitting to rule this world" the purple eyes of the leader glowed more, and Lloyd couldn't believe his ears. Why would he rule the world? Ninjago?
"Never!" he yelled angrily. He was not going to be what he never wanted.
"Seize him!" the leader yelled. Some of the oni came and some remained, keeping his family away. The others noticed something happening and fought their way through, but there was no escaping.
Lloyd fought the approaching oni but he couldn't handle them all. Soon they grabbed him by his arms, forcing him onto his knees. Lloyd grunted and struggled, but the oni's grip only tightened.
The leader took his staff and put the purple crystal end onto the chest of his father. It glowed brightly and things began to change. Instead of Lord Garmadon lying on the ground there seemed to be the good version of his father, Sensei Garmadon.
Lloyd starred in awe at the crystal. It had the power to extract the oni genes out of someone. And by the looks of it, it could also transfer it into someone else. And he was going to be that someone.
The leader walked closer, staff ready to strike. The black smoky tentacles, that covered the city held his legs down, making an escape impossible. How was he supposed to get out of this one? He couldn't move and the others couldn't get to him. His father was unconscious.
As the leader came closer, one of the warriors pulled his uniform down, exposing the skin around his heart.
"It may take a while for it to show affect, seeing as you are more than just human and oni" the leader explained, raising his staff.
And thrusted it into his skin, right above his heart. Lloyd gritted his teeth and clenched his eyes closed. Tears were forming. The pain was intense, and he was sure he would pass out, but before he could, the staff was taken away, and he was released.
Lloyd fell to the ground, gasping for air. His whole being was screaming in pain, his ears were ringing.
He could barely hear the leader saying something and disappearing. All the oni followed and the fight was over for now.
"Lloyd!" someone screamed, and Lloyd forced his eyes open. What he saw still surprised him. It was his father. But not the evil oni, but the loving and caring father he had missed. Lloyd smiled a little.
Garmadon looked at the wound the leader had left on his skin and it didn't look good. Even though he had no idea how he came here and what had happened, he knew that symbol. It was the symbol of oni awakening.
"Lloyd!" the others screamed, running over to the two. Lloyd grimaced and twisted in pain.
"Hold it" Wu said, holding out his staff, stopping the ninja. "Brother what happened?" Wu asked.
"They marked him" Garmadon said, finger brushing against the mark.
"Marked him?" Cole raised an eyebrow.
"The leader took the oni part out of Garmadon and transferred it to Lloyd. Where was he hit brother?"
Garmadon looked at the mark again, Lloyd was panting hard.
"Heart" he finally said.
Wu stroked his beard. This was bad indeed.
"Well why did they just disappear" Nya asked, looking around. All oni's were gone.
"They left because they wait for Lloyd to wake up. They left a warning of sorts" Garmadon said. He put a hand to Lloyds head and felt the temperature.
"He needs to get inside. He's burning up" Garmadon stood up and walked into the monastery, carrying his son.
Misako gasped, when she saw him, and both stopped for a second.
"We will talk later, Misako. Right now, Lloyd is more important" he said and walked further inside.
Garmadon put Lloyd in his bed and covered him.
"Dad?" Lloyd looked confused.
"I'm right here. You need to sleep" he answered.
Lloyd reached for the marking on his chest, but his father stopped him. "Don't touch it. It will only hurt" he explained and left go of his hand.
"What will hurt? What happened?" he couldn't remember what had happened. His head was pounding, and his chest hurt.
"I will explain later. Now you need to sleep. Just call, when you are awake" with that he left and Lloyd closed his eyes, trying to sleep.
Everyone sat in a room in the monastery.
"So, what is going on?" Zane asked.
"Right now, the different sides of Lloyd are fighting against each other. He is oni, dragon and human. Now that he was infected with more oni genes the fight is uneven. Normally all sides are the same but now the oni side is growing stronger and is trying to win the fight. Lloyd is hurt by it. It feels like his body is being ripped apart and it will stop when the fight is over" Wu explained.
"So, the leader took the oni genes from you and gave it to Lloyd?" Jay asked. Garmadon nodded.
"Why?" Nya asked.
"Because Lloyd is what the oni call a partling. He hast three parts, which makes him the most powerful being. I am human and oni and Wu is human and dragon. Lloyd got both. It is rare and very destructive" Garmadon said.
"But Lloyd wouldn't destroy anything" Kai said.
"Not now, no. But if the oni side wins, he will have access to all his powers. His mind would change and that is why they want him. That is why h can control the golden power" Misako said. She was still in awe that her husband was sitting beside her.
"But what will be to them?" Zane asked.
All three looked at each other. This was something they hoped to prevent.
"They want a king."
So yeah this is what I came up with and I will continue this. Please tell me what you think.
