I'm not going to lie, this was terrible the first time I wrote it. This rewrite is to save myself from cringing each time I see this in my manage stories tab. And because it was my first fanfiction on this site so I couldn't just delete it.

Third Person Pov

As Lloyd settled into his bed on the bounty he let out a contented sigh, finally he was in control of his own body again. After being controlled by Morro for so long it was a relief to not be a prisoner within his own skin. And after relishing the feeling by hanging out with the ninjas earlier that night Lloyd had decided to call it a night long before the others. Choosing to rest as the adrenaline from the battle wore off the tired boy he settled in for the first good night's sleep he'd have the chance to have since Morro had possessed him. However, it seemed fate was not on his side for as Lloyd fell asleep his smile soon turned into a frown as his hope for a peaceful rest was ruined as nightmares quickly overtook his sleep.

His dream starting out normal enough as he found himself in a meadow. The bounty could be seen off to the side as he and the ninja trained in the grass with a game of tag. All of them laughing as the training turned into a game of tag that had everyone piled ontop of eachother by the end in an effort to not be 'it'.

However, while the ninja laughed dark storm clouds began to cover the once clear, blue sky. The happy mood ruined as the sun was blocked. Yet as the ninja all stood in order to return to the bounty the mood grew worse as Lloyd looked at his arms to see green slowly covering them. Before Lloyd could even scream he found himself once again trapped within his own mind as Morro took control. His willpower to fight the possession gone due to the sheer shock of Morro being back. Forcing Lloyd to watch as Morro began to attack the others, using the boy's skills to take down those he considered his family while Lloyd could only watch helplessly, unable to even scream at the horrific battle in front of him. The ninja being taken down one by one. His family being taken down one by one while Morro laughed in satisfaction, though he used Lloyd's voice to do it. Powerless, Lloyd watched as Morro set fire to the bounty as a final revenge act as the life Lloyd had grown accustomed to was destroyed.

Meanwhile, Kai had decided it was time to call it a night as the others were also getting close to retiring. Yet Kai was the first to leave the small celebration they had made after Lloyd, telling the others to not stay up too late as he headed for the bedroom the ninjas' shared. Planning to simply go to bed straightaway due to how late it already was and Kai deciding he didn't want to be a zombie tomorrow due to a lack of sleep.

Yet as he stepped into his shared room all plans of sleep were quickly dashing as he heard whimpers coming from Lloyd's side of the room. The red ninja heading over there without pause as his worry for the kid had increased exponentially since Morro first took the green ninja away. As he neared the bed he could see Lloyd was thrashing around as well as whimpering, his blanket tangled around his legs in his struggles as he was no doubt fighting against some night terror. Therefore the red ninja wasted no time in grabbing the boy's shoulders and giving him a fierce shake in order to wake him up from whatever was causing him distress in the dream world.

Lloyd awaking rather violently for as soon as his eyes opened he let out a heart-wrenching scream that could no doubt be heard throughout the entire ship. His eyes glancing around the room in panic before he noticed Kai, his instinct causing him to grab the red ninja. Burying his face in his shirt as he couldn't stop the tears that erupted as he remembered his dream. Kai simply hugging the green ninja as he rubbed soothing circled into his back. Knowing that Lloyd would need to calm down before he would be able to tell Kai what had him so worked up, though the red ninja already had an inkling as the what was the cause of the boy's distress.

"Kai? Are you two alright?" Zane questioned as he, Cole, and Jay were gathered at the doorway. The three ninja having heard Lloyd scream and come to investigate to ensure their youngest member was alright.

"Yeah, the kid just had a nightmare," Kai told them as Lloyd's sobs began to die down, the other ninja coming over as they crowded around the bed.

"Was it about Morro?" Jay asked as he sat next to Kai on the bed, Lloyd leaning away from Kai as he nodded his head, wiping his tears away.

"Are you okay?" Jay questioned, Lloyd giving him a blank stare in return, "right, obviously not. Sorry."

"It's fine," Lloyd spoke up, "I should be fine, sorry I worried you all."

"There's no need to be sorry," Cole interjected, "and we have a right to be worried about you kid. Because I doubt anyone would be fine after the experience you went through."

"Not helping," Kai interjected as Lloyd went silent.

"Sorry," Cole spoke sheepishly.

"What Cole means to say is that it's okay that you're still shook up. Morro was just defeated today, it'll take time for you to recover and no matter what we'll all be here for you while you do. There's nothing to be sorry for because Morro was not your fault nor was it your fault he possessed you," Zane spoke up in reassurance.

"But," Lloyd began to interject.

"No buts, it may have been your body Morro used but it wasn't you who was in control," Kai spoke, having guessed what Lloyd would try to say.

"That's true," Lloyd spoke hesitantly, " still, I'm scared that he might come back somehow."

"It's okay to be scared," Jay said, "but just remember that even if Morro does come back he'll have to go through us before he'll be able to even come near you again.

"Right," Kai, Zane, and Cole agreed.

"Thank you," Lloyd spoke earnestly.

"Don't mention it kid, "Cole spoke, "now try and get some sleep."

"But what if," Lloyd began before Kai cut him off.

"We'll be in the room with you the entire time, we'll wake you up if you have another nightmare." Kai told him.

"Promis?" Lloyd questioned, sounding more like the kid he once was than the teenager he was now.

"Promise," the four Ninja agreed together

And so Lloyd fell asleep for the second time that night, this time without worry as he knew he had his family there to protect him.
