AN: A Random one-shot of an AU that deals with killing off of characters. This is more of practice for what I plan on writing in the future. Please tell me what I can improve on. Please mind that I wrote this at one in the fucking morning.
Also see if you can find a reference to a different show.
Disclaimer: I do not own Ninjago or there would be a lot less plot holes (Like how old freaking Wu is) and more death.
Power.
It's what kept him alive.
There was always the down side at being a hero, and here is Lloyd's. When he has no power, he shuts down like a machine. Though you can't just plug it back in have it turn on, not, this is different. He dies.
Death. Is that just a fate that everyone faces? Or is it a simple mess up by the writers when the tear the paper?
This time. The pen ended up in the wrong hands. Everything written in simple detail. It explained the fall of the savior.
Lloyd silently cursed as Chen through another blast of power at him. How dare he steal the powers of other elementals. Power is earned, it shouldn't be stolen. Chen was one of those who didn't know the consequences of messing with power that is not your own, and he was the only one left to teach him.
Lloyd ran. Dodged. Hid. Jumped. Fought back. But what could he do against someone who has all the power but his own. What could his energy do against fire, ice, earth, lightning, mind reading, nature, speed, and so much more. What could he even do against that!? Nothing. He just needed to last enough in case they find a way to escape. He could only buy time, he couldn't defeat him. Though escaping was very slim, none of them had power, and Kai helped Chen... He was alone. The final hope. Why did this have to happen again?
He remembered when the Overlord was after his golden power. He felt like he was dying. His breath left him. His heat beat felt oh so slow. His head spun worse than what anyone could feel on a merry go round. His limbs didn't listen to him. He was so close to losing it all. Thank the gods above that he lived to fight another day. Giving up his Golden power did hurt, but it was much better than near death.
Now he had another lunatic after him, but not just him, he was after everyone. He was after everyone's power, and the rest of Ninjago... He couldn't allow it. As the last person who had a chance at doing this, he had to do it. He had to defeat him... But it turns out that he was wrong.
He felt an impact of ice and when he fell to the ground, the ground shook. That's not all, gravity shifted for him and he was thrown into the game board. The last thing he remembered was Chen's annoying laughter as everything went dark.
When he woke up, he felt these cuffs on him. He hated that it was that special stone that rendered his power useless, whoever found out that rock. Lloyd just hoped they were burning in the cursed realm for screwing over Ninjago.
He struggled against the things that binded him, what compromised him. What kept him from helping everyone. What kept him from keeping Ninjago safe. What would would be holding him as he died. He didn't want to think of that... How hopeful could he be? Everyone was captured. And he was about to die. He knows there's always hope, but the cave of darkness closed off the light at them end.
He was slowly being dragged these two bumbling idiots. If he was able to move, he would be able to free himself.
He cursed at himself. The time everyone counted on him. He had to lose. He had to fail, and now his consequence for failing is death.. A least he doesn't have to watch Ninago go at the hands of Chen.
He was dragged down a set of stairs that lead to a huge cavern like room. He wanted to at least die in some place at least, but heroes rarely ever get that luxury.
He was then pushed to the ground as he felt his arms shackled to the ground. This was one sick cunt, and it must have been planned for years. He took one long glance around the room. Chen's minions bowing to Chen, all of them covered in tattoos, skulls, what what they called clothing. He then glanced up at Chen, he had a smirk plastered on the idiotic face. Right next to him were the traitors. Skylor and Kai, but then Kai made a gesture that showed he had a brought a small glimmer of light to the caves of darkness in his now not as hopeful mind.
"Now the power shall be ours!" Yelled Chen as his daughter stood in front of him.
"Father, please take my powers." Was all the redhead said as the staff took what powered her, all of that magic into that staff.
"Now it's time for our guest of honor, doesn't everyone agree~?"
He then felt the pull. He felt like a part of him was being ripped from his being. He felt he was dying. No. He was dying. His green power flowed freely to the orb in Chen's staff. His life blood. His life power.. Slowly disappearing. At least he tried was what he told himself. Though he knew this shouldn't have been the end for him, it was happening anyway. Fate had to be cruel. Made him the Green Ninja. He held the power, he held the responsibility, but now with it gone. What did he have left?
His eyes fluttered closed as the last of his power left him. He fell onto the cold hard stone floor. It did't mattered now. His heart didn't beat. He didn't breath. He was now free.
The fall of the green ninja.
As soon as Skylor got close enough to the staff, she grabbed it and threw it to Kai who broke it quickly. The both of them merely thought Lloyd was just playing along.
The power flew back to their owners, and the owners that weren't there quickly blasted their way in and crashed the party.
Every person that followed Chen, had ran away with him. They all escaped... But that now left our heroes to have a moment of bittersweet victory.
"Hey kiddo," Kai gently shook Lloyd, "They're gone." Kai was rather confused with the no response as he quickly broke the chains keeping Lloyd down.
He then realized something. There was no steady rise and fall of Lloyd's chest. He then quickly checked for a pulse, "G-guys.. Guys!"
Just about everyone hurried over and Zane was the one to break the news.
"There's.. No life signs..." Zane said as he ran a scan over and over again, hoping it was just some glitch.
Jay just stared as did Cole, this was like Zane all over again. This time, there was no way to fix it this time.
"No! He can't go like this!" Kai refused to accept this information as he continued to shake Lloyd, but he stopped when Garmadon came to his little boy. He just stared and stared and stared. He then fell to his knees, sobbing, after all he did to keep him safe... It was never enough.
It was reality.
Everybody knows that everybody dies.
