Switched!

AN: This is an AU story in the Lego Ninjago show verse and movie verse that EMPFangirl02 and I came up with together and we each worked on different chapters, so you'll see that our writing styles are different. We tried to keep everyone in character, but also took a little bit of our own take on the characters too. As a reminder, we DON'T own Lego Ninjago at all. We hope you will enjoy our story.

Prologue

"Cole, I can't believe you gave away all of our secret hideouts!" Kai yelled.

"Now what are we going to do?" Jay cried.

"I'm sorry, guys, okay?" Cole said for the hundredth time. "I accidentally drank the tea of truth! I couldn't help it! But at least we know where they are."

"Yeah, but what if they catch us?" Jay demanded.

"Guys, it'll be okay," Lloyd broke in. "I'll go scout another place for us to hide. Meanwhile, you guys scout out Laughy's."

Kai glowered but he agreed to the plan with everyone else. Lloyd summoned his elemental dragon and flew off the Bounty.

Meanwhile…

Kumori ran through the halls of the Cloud Kingdom, nearly tripping on his own feet. He had graduated at the top of his class, but now that it was his first day of writing a real person's destiny, he was scared out of his mind. What if he messed up? What if ruined someone's life forever?

He was so worried; he didn't see his superior until he crashed right into him. Kumori's head pounded, but he dropped into a quick bow.

"I'm so sorry, sir!" Ever since Fenwick had betrayed the sixteen realms, a new Master Writer had taken over, and he had really cracked down on the Cloud Kingdom.

"Get up," The man snapped. Kumori instantly stood up straight and held his breath as his new boss stared him up and down.

"So," he said at last, "You're the new person they sent?"

"Yes, sir!" Kumori replied.

The man sighed, then glared at the new recruit. "Listen up, destinies are not to be trifled with! You will do exactly as I tell you, or the fate of all sixteen realms will be compromised."

Kumori swallowed. "Y-yes, sir!"

"And another thing, enough with this sir business. My name is Shen, and if you must be so formal, call me the Master Writer."

"Yes s—Master Writer," Kumori corrected quickly.

Shen sighed. "Come on. The hero of Ninjago is going on a journey."

Kumori gasped. "The Green Ninja?" He couldn't believe it! Would he be writing the destiny of one the greatest heroes who ever lived? He started shaking.

Shen glared at him. "Sorry," Kumori muttered. "I won't interrupt again."

The Master Writer began again. "A storm will hit the Green Ninja on the way back. You will write, 'Lloyd Garmadon will arrive safely in Ninjago City'. Otherwise, he will spiral out of control and be stranded, messing up the fate of the realm."

Kumori gulped. "Okay, I'll grab his scroll write away, si—Master Writer."

He sprinted to the archives, and searched for the Gs. Gardner… Garfield… Garland… Garmadon! Now to find Lloyd. He looked around, but there were two of them. Kumori bit his lip. Which one was it? He grabbed the closest one and peeked at his destiny. It said he was the Green Ninja. Perfect.

Kumori sprinted back to the Master Writer.

"Well? What are you waiting for?" he snapped.

Kumori jumped and stumbled over to the nearest desk and grabbed a quill. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his trembling hand. He didn't want to ruin The Green Ninja's life with a messy character.

Ready at last, Kumori dipped his quill in the ink. Lloyd Garmadon will arrive safely in Ninjago City. He sighed in relief. Done.

Back in Ninjago City… L-loyd ate a quick breakfast, grabbed his backpack and slowly began his walk to the bus. He sighed. So begins another day where everyone would hate him. L-loyd was used to it by now, but it didn't make it hurt any less.

He took a step, but his foot didn't touch the ground. The world began to bend and shift until suddenly he wasn't in his city anymore. He blinked. Everything seemed a lot darker, as if a shadow had been cast over the whole place.

The buildings he had grown up with his whole life were gone, and Ninjago Tower, the tallest building where the mayor had been was replaced with a funky building with a hole filled in the shape of a C. L-loyd didn't recognize anything around him, which worried him. As the Green Ninja, he knew every street of Ninjago City like the back of his hand.

So, where was he?

AN: Sorry for the short introduction-the next chapter is the real thing and will be longer. We hope this whets your appetite for more! To distinguish between the two Lloyd's, movie verse Lloyd is L-loyd and show verse Lloyd is just Lloyd. Hopefully, that's not too confusing. We plan to post twice a week! Reviews are always welcome!
