A/N: This is my first Ninjago story I've written. I do have a few others in the works right now, as well as one that will take place where the 23rd episode of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu leaves off. You can follow me if you want to keep in touch with those so you'll know when I publish them.
Warning! This story will contain spoilers for lots of the episodes of Lego Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. Read at your own risk if you have not seen all the episodes up to the 26th one. It also would help if you did so you'll understand what is happening.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Lego. I only own this story itself and the theories that go with it.
IMPORTANT! You need to read this! This story will take place from when Lord Garmadon is two years old to how old he is now. There is a few things I need to explain first in order to help out the readers. The Ninjago Timeline and ages of the characters is a subject of debate and is very controversial since the show doesn't really line up. Here is one of my theories I've came up to help explain this.
The first Spinjitzu master was blessed by the Golden Dragon when the world was still young. On top of being given the Golden Weapons by it, he was also given the Dragon's power of long-lasting life. This causes the first master to age very very slowly, appearing much younger than what he actually is. Also, when the Four Weapons are kept together and a person with the Dragon's blessing is near, they age even slower causing him to seem immortal. This blessing was past down to his kids, Wu Garmadon and Lord Garmadon (Lord isn't his first name, but no one knows what it is, so...). However, the blessing lost its strength so it caused them to age slow as well, just not nearly as slow. The Golden Weapons also affected them too, since they had the Dragon's blessing in their blood.
Lord Garmadon: When Lord Garmadon was 10 years (appearing 2yrs) Wu was born (So Wu is suppose to look 2yrs younger than his older brother). When Lord Garmadon was around 50 years old (appearing 10yrs), he was bit. The venom caused him to start aging even slower, and the longer it was in his system the even more slow he would age so Wu eventually looked older than him. When Lord Garmadon was around 150 years old (looking around 26) he met Misako. Five years later, Lord Garmadon's (who now looks 27) father dies. A year later, Lloyd will be born. When Lloyd was three years old Lord Garmadon (now looking 28yrs) gets banished to the Underworld. Now, he is around 170 years old and would look around 45 years old if he wasn't tainted with evil.
Wu: Currently is around 160 years old, looking around 60 years old. The reason he aged faster is because after his older brother was banished, the grief caused some of the blessing to wear off. On top of that, the Golden Weapons were hidden so their blessing was lost completely. You'll see that what happened to him is very similar to what happens to the first Spinjitzu master.
Misako: Was around 28 when she met Lord Garmadon, 34 when she had Lloyd, and 38 when she left Lloyd. She now is 47 years old.
Lloyd: Was three when his dad left, four when his mom left, and then was 13 years old when he left Darkley's and released the serpentine. He then got turned into an 18 year old during the episode Child's Play. The Dragon's blessing was not passed down to him from his father, so he ages normally.
Cole, Kai, Jay, Nya, and Zane: 20, 19, 18, 18, and 19 years old respectfully. Zane's age is just what he was made to appear like, not his actual age. I'm not sure how old he actually is, he could of been made 10 years ago or 30 years ago. The show never really clarifies it.
- Chapter 1: Memories of the Past -
Lord Garmadon sat on his throne in the Underworld, head on his hand, as he looked around indifferently. The skeleton army had left long ago to fetch the weapons as he had commanded, since he himself was unable to travel to the Overworld and obtain them himself. Finally, after 10 long years of waiting, the Golden Weapons at last would be his. He spent ten drawn out years struggling to try to work with the Skeleton Army. The Army was stupid, pathetic, and rusty in battle when Lord Garmadon first fell into the Underworld, effortlessly defeating Samukai and taking the position of leader. He had trained them the ways of battle and how to follow orders since then. True, they still were stupid, even easy to defeat, but they were stronger then before, and in larger numbers.
Now he sat alone in deathly silence. It was one of those rare times when he was allowed time to think with out being pestered by the skeletons. This time though, his thoughts wondered to a different time, a different place, from before he was casted in the Underworld...
A/N: This is just an introduction chapter of sorts, so don't fret. I realize the author notes are longer than the story itself, but that's because that's just how it has to be. From now on, each chapter will take place at different times. They'll probably be relatively short because of that. They'll start up when he was young, then actually go into the episodes and then each chapter will likely be about an episode or two. I should be posting them quickly though to make up for their shortness.
Hope you enjoyed reading! Please show your support by reviewing, faving, or following! Better yet, do all three if you feel the story deserves it! I'm open to constructive flames, even though I didn't put all of my effort into this story so it isn't my best work. You can do hate reviews to I guess since it won't bother me because I really won't care. I just wouldn't waste my time with those, but eh.
Lastly, I would like to finish by saying something that's been bugging me big time. Why does everyone seem to think Ninjago is over? The commercials say the final episode because it is the final episode for the season, not the series. I even emailed Lego about the rumors and from what they said it sounds like there will be another season at least. If anyone is interested at all, I can actually put the their reply in the next chapter if you like. Just let me know if you want me to post it, so you can interpret it yourself. What's you though on the rumors of it ending? You believe it or not?
Thanks again for reading!
