Ah, I've returned with the next chapter, this is in Kai's Point of View. Just saying, Lloyd shall be back in the next chapter.

This took longer than I would've liked, but I had a challenging time with Kai.

I'm sorry that this chapter is slightly shorter, Kai proved to be harder than I thought.

Other than that enjoy.

That damn kid. What was Lloyd thinking!? Why did he think it was a good idea to hurt people?! Why did he run from us?! Why did he lie to his parents!? Why!? Why!? Why!? Thoughts continued to go throughout my head. I was currently sitting in the living room of Garmadon's Monastery.

The first floor was for teaching while the rooms above was Garmadon's, Misako's, and Lloyd's home.

I didn't really listen as the others were throwing out reasons Lloyd could've been acting this way. All of the ideas they had were stupid. It probably was because I wasn't actively listening.

That's when I felt a firm hand on my shoulder, Sensei Wu.

He looked out upon us before speaking, "It would be best if we stopped making assumptions and ask Lloyd himself when he wakes up." He then took a deep breath, "And my brother thinks he knows why, I hope he is wrong."

I frowned as I looked up at him, what logical answer could explain why Lloyd did a bunch a havoc upon towns. He hasn't killed anyone, but overall, he has messed up things that would be very hard to fix.

Zane was the one to ask, "Sensei, what does Sensei Garmadon believe?"

Wu just shook his head, "He wants to confirm before he shares that information."

"Well, do you know?" I asked him, keeping my anger down.

"He did not want me to tell the four of you till we officially know, but if he is right, this is not Lloyd's fault." He said simply as he walked out of the room.

Once he left the room Jay piped up, "Well, what do you think he's hinting at guys? He's making us wait or fill in the blanks!"

Zane just frowned, "If it's not his fault… Does that mean he's being controlled?"

"But who would have that power?" I asked, if he was controlled, somone is going to have a bad time. He is the youngest of our group, our younger brother, no one just gets away with hurting our makeshift family.

Cole was thinking deeply, he was the leader, stable. He was the stable one. It makes me wonder what he was thinking about.

Then Jay popped up, "Could it be like the great devour?"snakes hanging around, right?" He then glanced at Zane who just shook his head.

Cole just shook his head with a sigh, "Jay, there's not a chance of that. There's no more giant "But… There are other possibilities rather than just being controlled. Sensei just said it wasn't his fault, doesn't mean it can't be some poison,"

I sigh, was he in pain besides his broken leg and more than sprained ankle? "Who's be brave enough to poison him?"

Cole nodded in agreement with me, "Who would? No one is."

Jay huffed with a loud sigh, "Then what else could it be!?"

Cole shot Jay a look for being a little louder than liked.

Zane frowned, "Let's go through everything we know. We got a phone call from Sensei Garmadon that Lloyd should be coming soon. Though he never came."

Cole nodded, "Later, a report coming in that a young adult, male attacked a village near here. Which was Lloyd. From what the police said as that he assaulted a woman, the police, and broke every neon light and widow is town."

I groaned unhappily as I added on, "The series of towns leading to Stiix had sightings and/or him actually attacking them… But would could possibly made him do that? He isn't just some damn monster that enjoys human suffering."

Zane nodded again, his hand scratching his chin, "Well-" Jay then interrupted Zane, "But at least he hasn't cause any deaths!"

Cole sighed as he looked at Jay, "Learn when to stop speaking."

Jay looked quite offended by that, before he could defend himself Cole spoke again, "Zane, please continue."

Zane nodded as he spoke once again, "Didn't the Overlord possess Sensei Garmadon?"

I piped up, "He did, but it's no way it's the Overlord. He's dead! Plus Sensei G was evil."

Zane did agree with me,"But we may have beaten him, but we do not know about destroy."

Jay waited till Zane was done talking before he started to speak."But Lloyd is the light in a way! Wouldn't it destroy the Overlord if he did go into him? If he somehow survived."

I sighed as I got up, "Whatever it is, we'll know when he wakes up. If someone did hurt him I call dibs for first punch." I stretched and began talking again, "I'm going to go check on him."

Jay was about to get up with me, but Zane stopped him. He didn't give a reason why. He just made sure he was sitting as I walked out of the room.

I started to go through the hallways, and as I made my way to Lloyd's room I heard Garmadon and Misako talking to Lloyd. Something hit me right before I reached the door, that voice was not LLoyd's at all. I knew I had the name on the tip of my tongue. I stayed right outside as I listened in.

"Oh Garmadon~, don't you see? I will always be here. I will always ruin you and your family for resisting me. I must say, your boy has much more satisfying results when I mess with him. His memories are also very fun to poke at. How would you like to know how you two failed at being parents? This boy has a whole list in his head, but he thinks that you being here will make it up for all the suffering of childhood." The voice was deep, harsh, and had much intent to cause emotional hurt.

I didn't hear Garmadon reply for a few seconds, the person who replied was Misako. "You get out of my son right now."

"Why on earth would I do that~? He's powers, strong, but he's mentally weakening. He's giving into me much quicker, I think I know why. He's a mere child! I may have been defeated but I've only come back worse. You see, revenge only works when it comes back much worse. Isn't that right Lloyd? Oh! I forgot! He can't respond right now. He's in so much pain, and he just wants to rest. I actually think this is the first time he's actually rested. Strange things happens when the boy turns into a wooden puppet."

"Get out of my son right now or else." Garmadon said simply, commanding whatever it was.

"I shall be staying. Lloyd knows how it can be done, but he knows you won't allow one and he won't allow the other. So I shall be here, whether you like it or not Garmadon."

That's when it hit me. That son of a bitch survived. That fucking asshat. How the fuck did the Overlord get into Lloyd!?

I then walking into the room, I was more than just 'pissed' to say the goddamn least.

Garmadon seemed like he was going to say something but I beat him to it.

"How the hell did you survive the final battle?" I asked rather forcefully. All I got was an eyeroll.

"It said I would be defeated, not killed fool." A smirk played on Lloyd's face. A smirk that would never belong to him. "So here's the 'big brother'? The child needs to pick different role models."

"What? Big brother?" I looked at him with a rather confused face. I will say I was still pissed as fuck, but that is besides the point.

"You're that dense? You don't know how much this child aims to make you of all people proud? You can't tell? He knows that you'll be there for him, but now!" The Overlord gave a sickening snicker, "He feels as if he can't look up to anyone. Oh so alone, he knows he's beyond help. He knows he can't be helped by anyone." He looked straight at Garmadon who looked angrier by the minute. "He fears of being alone, but he knows it's going to happen. He feels like you are all going to abandon him in the end. He was abandoned in the beginning, so why not the end? Hmm?"

I wasn't stupid enough to ask about the whole Abandoned part. It was obvious, Garmadon was in the Underworld and Misako was away trying to stop the final battle.

"How is he beyond help you bastard?"

"Do you think I'm leaving anytime soon? This boy gives me the power beyond my wildest dreams. He knows who he must serve, he hasn't done much to stop me… He can't fight himself."

"Lloyd is strong, and he can easily beat you like he did before!" I yelled at this asshole.

"He would've broken away by now~! And Kai, put up a fight when we kill you. Be entertaining,"

"This isn't just some sort of sick twisted game!"

"Oh? But it is! It's just a high stakes game! I picked my game piece! I may be cheating, and I am loving every second of it."

I glared at him, the need to cuss had risen, "Asshole."
"Same to you hot head, but it appears I have to go back now. Have fun while it lasts." That's all he said as Lloyd's body fell back into the bed.

The three of us just stared at Lloyd, I didn't know what to even say. The Overlord was in Lloyd. He was messing with him. He was unwinding him. He was mentally hurting him. And how could I stop it?

Misako was the one who made the next move, she checked Lloyd. She checked for a fever, anything that wasn't the Overlord. Kai could tell.

"... Should I tell the others?" I asked, god, i sounded so weak.

"That would be best Kai, we will join the team in a few minutes." Garmadon respond to me, his eyes still on Lloyd.

I just nodded and walked out, I was angry. I was pissed. Though, I was mostly worried for Lloyd. I was unhappy that he didn't tell us. That he felt the only thing he could do is run away.

I walked back to my teammates, "We know what's wrong with Lloyd" I states simply and I was bombarded with questions. I simply wasn't in a good mood to deal with them, mostly Jay.

"What is? What is it Kai! Tell us!"

"What if affecting our younger brother?

"What happened to the squirt?"

I just didn't answered them, I waited for Sensei Garmadon.

It took around 30 minutes, and they finally came down. Misako did not look good, I would be lying if I said she didn't look like she was crying.

They looked up at Sensei G.

"Kai won't tell us, what is wrong with our friend?" Zane asked Garmadon, who took a long sigh.

"The Overlord has possessed Lloyd."

And all hell broke loose. I just sighed as he got up and left the room. I did not want to listen to my team, much less a very angry team.

I slowly made my way back to Lloyd's room, I wanted some time alone. I knew my company was probably out cold.

I stood in the doorway, still hearing all of the yelling from the other room.

I finally walked into the room and sat on the side Lloyd's bed. I just stared him. His black hair was just awkward, it didn't fit him.

He was a good kid, he didn't deserve that. Hell, no one did. No deserved what pain Lloyd was going through, Lloyd most of all. Sure, he was a bratty kid but didn't mean he was a bad person.

I sighed as I looked at him, I knew I should've protected him better. I know I could've done something more. Now it's too late, he's already been hurt.

My hand picked up his, and much to my displeasure.

I started to cry.

I hope it was enjoyable~!

Goodbye till next time.
