Wu was staring at the Golden Weapons, thinking about the prophecy his father told him before he passed. He had been thinking about whether to start looking for the prophesied hero now, especially since he felt a disturbance for the past few months.

Garmadon, meanwhile, was watching Lloyd, his newborn son, while his wife was out running errands. He sighed, remembering the day before, when Kozu, a servant of the Overlord, actually tried to kill his child. He remembered being absolutely furious at the general, using his powers to annihilate him. He vowed to protect Lloyd more conscientiously from then on, and had hardly left his side since then.

He was brought out of his thoughts by the whine of his son, wanting his father's attention. He looked at his bundled-up baby, and smiled at his innocent, chubby face. Lloyd smiled back, happy to have his father caring again, and reached his stubby fingers to Garmadon's face. The father chuckled and gently took a hold of one of his son's fragile hand carefully. Who in their right mind would want to end the life of someone so innocent and pure?

"Come on, my little one. Hold onto me..." Garmadon cooed, bringing his child in for a tight yet gentle embrace. "I love you, my dearest..." Those same words caused him to softly cry in response. "I love you..." He made the mistake of putting him down and glancing away.

Unbeknownst to the brothers, Lloyd was looking at the Golden Weapons with curiosity. He reached his pudgy hand at the Sword of Fire, and all of a sudden, a green spark appeared in his fingers, scaring the baby.

"Lloyd!" Garmadon gasped, pulling his boy away from the weapons as far as he could and close to his chest.

Lloyd, on the other hand, started bawling out of fear. He was scared of what just happened, and he didn't understand what was happening at the moment.

"My child..." Garmadon whispered in concern. "Shhh...I'm right here...right here...right here..." He pressed tiny kisses on his redden face and whispered sweet nothings to his little boy.

Wu, on the other hand, was completely shocked. The energy Lloyd created...was green?! Then it must mean...

"Brother," Wu whispered to his big brother, scared of how the overprotective father would react. "Did you see the energy emitted from your son's hand? It was green... I think...he's the chosen one." The younger brother braced himself for Garmadon's reaction, which wouldn't be pretty.

"I-It can't be..." Garmadon gasped in shock, looking down at his son. Lloyd had calmed down now and looked up at his father's eyes with his green ones, then let out a cute cry. The father couldn't help but let out a sharp sob in response to such an innocent noise. He tightened his hold on his precious child as he started to break down into tears. "What if..." Garmadon shook his head, not even wanting to go to those thoughts. He began to rock Lloyd as his sobs grew stronger. "D-Don't leave me..."

"Brother...I am so sorry..." Wu whispered to Garmadon and pulled him into a gentle embrace while not disturbing his nephew. He knew how much Lloyd meant to his brother. He heard about the attack yesterday, and he also promised to protect the infant with the father as well.

"H-How is m-my son the c-chosen one? H-He was just b-born...a few d-days ago..." Garmadon asked, completely overwhelmed at the revelation of his own child's destiny. "I-I can't accept this..." His body started trembling uncontrollably, almost stirring the baby. He handed Lloyd to Wu and rushed outside to have a moment to himself.

Wu sighed, knowing how emotional his brother is. He couldn't blame him for being upset about this revelation. Being the chosen one meant that many enemies would come after Lloyd, and Garmadon had always sworn to protect his child the moment he was born. The very thought that more villains would come after the child must be terrifying Garmadon.

The creation master was brought out of his thoughts by the whining of his nephew. He was confused on where his dad went, and wanted attention on himself again. "Shh...don't worry, Lloyd. Your daddy just needs a moment right now...he'll be back..."

Meanwhile, Garmadon was sitting on the steps of the monastery, his head buried in his hands. His shoulders were shaking as he silently cried over what just happened.

"My child...I can't lose you...I swore to protect you the moment you were born, and now..." Garmadon couldn't say anymore. It was just so overwhelming. His cries became heavier, now being heard by someone who was also still in the Monastery.

Morro, an eight-year-old child taken in by Wu, was in his room playing when he heard crying outside. Curious, he left the indoors and stepped out to see his adopted uncle shattered and heartbroken. He rushed right over and wrapped his small, thin arms and laid his head on the broken one's shoulder.

"Don't cry, Uncle Garmadon..." Morro whispered empathetically, even though he didn't know what was going on. Garmadon wrapped an arm around his nephew and sobbed into his shoulder.

As much as Garmadon tried to deny and tell himself this wasn't true, destiny had spoken. Lloyd was confirmed to be the chosen one. "Wh-Why did it have to be you, Lloyd...? I can't believe that you're...th-the one to take on Yakunan in the Ultimate Battle..."

"Wait...are you saying...Lloyd is...the green ninja?" Morro asked, confused and shocked over what his uncle said.

Garmadon nodded softly and sobbed more. He held Morro close to his chest, who was starting to become distressed as well.

In the short time he got to know the newborn, Morro was already seeing Lloyd as like a cute little brother to him. And now he was gonna become a target for the rest of his life. The very thought made the wind master leak a few tears from his grey-green eyes. "B-But...wasn't he just born a few d-days ago?"

"Y-Yes, he was." Garmadon tightened his hold on Morro, feeling so much anguish in his heart. "B-But destiny had to be cruel and choose my son t-to be...the chosen one?" Garmadon's eyes glowed purple for a second, feeling angered at fate for putting Lloyd in harm's way. "I-It's just too much..."

A loud cry broke through Garmadon's thoughts, and he quickly whipped his head around to see Wu coming up to them. Lloyd was in his uncle's arms, crying and squirming around.

"Brother, I can't seem to get him to stay still... He wants you..." Wu's words seemed to be true, because when Lloyd saw his dad coming up to him, he reached his tiny arms to him.

Garmadon smiled in tears, gently taking his son into his arms. Lloyd finally stopped crying and looked at his father with tired-looking emerald eyes. The master of destruction was forced to push his internal emotions aside to care for his child. He rocked the distressed baby carefully, cooing ever so softly.

"Shh...it's okay...daddy's here...daddy's better now and here for you..." Garmadon tenderly whispered at his sleepy little boy. And it was at that moment, he finally came to terms with his son's destiny. "I promise I'll be here beside you... I promise... I love you so very much..."

Lloyd yawned tiredly, his tiny eyelids fluttering as he snuggled closer into his father's comforting grasp. His tiny body began rising and falling in a rhythmic beat. Garmadon breathed out a sigh of relief, happy to have his little boy in his arms once more.

"It's going to be alright..." Garmadon continued to whisper soothingly. "I'll always be here to protect you, my child... Nothing will ever tear us apart..." He couldn't help but cry softly as he held his precious child close.

"I love you, my little angel..."
