Garmadon's POV:
"The clock has nearly reached the end of its countdown. Garmadon, what's bothering you?" The Overlord questioned.
I was very upset, hurt and conflicted. "You don't understand just how much Lloyd means to me. He's my only son. I love him very dearly and I am not willing to kill him, despite the fact that I have evil literally running through my entire being."
Suddenly, I threw my arms up and exclaimed, "Actually, you know what?! I'm done with this! I just can't take it anymore! I give up! I surrender!"
Taking off and throwing my helmet aside, I ran down the mountain, straight towards my son's base.
"Lloyd!" I cried out desperately.
Suddenly, the ninjas appeared, preparing for battle. Then my son appeared, approaching me, but then backed away.
Then I sighed, putting my hands out, firmly saying, "No. Don't attack. I'm not going to hurt you. I surrender."
Lloyd approached me yet again, slowly and cautiously, as I opened up my arms to him. We embraced each other tightly. Moments later, I pulled away taking his hands into mine.
"Lloyd, please. Hear me out. I will never harm you, or anyone else from now on, okay?"
I noticed Misako and my brother come out, but I continued conversing with Lloyd. As I spoke to him, my voice became softer, but it still held that same serious tone from before.
"I really don't want to hurt, let alone actually killing you. I wouldn't have been able to live knowing that you died because of me. You're the only child that I will ever have. I just want you safe, Lloyd. Nothing more, nothing less. I truly, truly love you." I said.
Then I added, "And, yes. I know. The Overlord will be very angry at me for betraying him, but it's for the best. For the both of us, our family, and for everyone else in Ninjago."
The Stone Army came. Wu, Misako and I stood together.
"Just like old times." I said.
My brother and wife nodded in agreement, and Wu replied, "Yes, Brother. Very much indeed."
"Ninja, Go!"
We launched into a spinjitzu attack, the rest of the ninjas joining in. Nya somehow managed to conjugate a water tornado, changing into a ninja outfit, like my son and the other ninjas. Then the Overlord arrives, with a massive weapon and Kozu fires it twice.
"GARMADON! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! I TRUSTED YOU AND YOU BETRAYED ME! NOW YOU WILL PAY!"
Then, without warning, he possesses me.
"NO!" I screamed.
Lloyd's POV:
I've had enough.
"Overlord! You will pay for what you did to my father!" I exclaimed.
I launched into battle, summoning a golden dragon, and changed my ninja gi into a golden color.
"I am the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master." I said boldly.
I pushed my powers to the limit, and managed to defeat the Overlord.
Moments later, light returned. I began to cry. I thought my father had gone for good.
"You did it, Son." I heard someone say.
"DAD! You're alive! And you're not evil anymore!" I exclaimed in pure happiness.
I ran into his open arms, tears freely flowing from my eyes.
"Lloyd! Oh, it feels so good to be normal again! Shh... Don't worry. I'm right here." My father consoled me. "Come. Let's go home."
We made it to the Bounty, setting off on the way back to Ninjago. Me and my father sat alone on the deck at the back of the boat. I sighed in relief.
"Son, are you alright?" my father asked calmly.
"Yeah. I just still can't believe that you're back to normal after so many years. I'm not sure what to do next, really." I replied.
My father sighed softly. "I'm not exactly sure either. For now, though, I really just want to spend time together with you and the rest of our family."
I leaned into my father, who tightly embraces me, and closed my eyes.
"Lloyd, I love you."
