Before the chapter starts, I want to answer a question from the comments. Lloyd isn't gay in the story. He's trying to get everyone to believe he's straight by dating a girl. The reason why everyone thinks he's gay will be explained later in the story. I hope you enjoy this chapter.


Previously on Ninjago

Lloyd: Well fuck.

Episode 76: The Jade Princess


The next day during training

Nya: So Lloyd, do you mind telling us what happened last night? *dodges Jay's attack* We heard that you and the princess were in town. What's up with that?

Lloyd: You know. *deflects Cole's hammer* The Princess and I went out together. Alone and I think she likes me.

Kai: What? *gets punched in the stomach by Zane* I wasn't ready!

Zane: Sorry.

Lloyd: I'll just explain it to you guys.


Lloyd: I heard a crashed from Harumi's room and went to go investigate it. No one was in the room and the balcony doors were open. I saw someone on the roof with a large bag and I was like.

Lloyd: Oh hell no! You ain't taking the princess away from me!

Lloyd: So I chased after them and surprisingly it turns out to be Princess Harumi. She was like.

Harumi: Hey Lloyd, I was just on my way to do innocent things like give food to the poor, rescue cats from trees, and worship Lord Garmadon.

Lloyd: What was the last part?

Harumi: Nothing! Anyways since you're here, you want to join me.

Lloyd: Sure, Harumi.

Harumi: You can call me Rumi.

Nya: Did she said "Worship Lord Garmadon?"

Lloyd: I don't think she said that. Anyways, we walked through town, got to know each other a little bit more and I saw a knife in her pocket.

Nya: Why the fuck did she had a knife on her?

Lloyd: Harumi probably had it to protect herself from danger.

Nya: *rolls her eyes* Right.

Lloyd: Then Hutchins came out of nowhere and ruined everything.

Hutchins: Harumi, what are you doing with this peasant!?

Harumi: First, he isn't a peasant. He's the green ninja who has protected Ninjago for who knows how long. Second, I'm in love with Lloyd and you can't change it.

Hutchins: You can't date someone you just met.

Lloyd: You can if it's true love. Besides, you don't know anything about love.

Hutchins: This is unacceptable! I won't allow it because I'm an old fart who doesn't understand what true love is. All I know is that once you're in love, your 'lover' will lose interest in you and date your fucking best friend behind your back! Then when you propose to her in front of a crowd of thousands of people, she'll dump you and run off with your friend like the damn thot she is! Leaving you heartbroken and humiliated, because that's what thots do! I KNOW FOR SURE WHAT TRUE LOVE IS! *starts crying*

Lloyd and Harumi: ... Are you okay?

Hutchins: *stops crying* NO I'M NOT! I will not allow this to happen!

Lloyd: *grabs Harumi's hand* You'll never take her! If she wants to be with me, then she will. You can never stop the power of love!

Hutchins: Watch me, bitch! Come on, Harumi. Let's go back to the palace. *walks away*

Harumi: *let's go of Lloyd's hand* I'm sorry, Lloyd. *walks away with Hutchins*

Lloyd: Harumi...

Lloyd: And that was it... I never saw Harumi after that night. Our love is strong for each other, but destiny tries to separate us apart. We may never see each other again. *whispers* So tragic.


Jay: Are you lying?

Lloyd: No! Why would you think I made it all up?

Zane: Hutchins wouldn't say something like that and Harumi wouldn't say that either.

Lloyd: Okay. Maybe some of the things are made up except for Hutchins's ex-girlfriend. All of that doesn't matter, because I think she loves me and who knows. Maybe I could be more than a friend to her.

Kai: So like a gay best friend?

Lloyd: *points his sword at Kai* Kai, just shut up! I'm getting extremely tired of this.

Zane: We just started training.

Lloyd: *puts his sword down* Not that. It's just-

Jay: You like a guy, but you don't know how to get him to like you.

Everyone: WHAT!?

Lloyd: Where did you get that?!

Jay: You talked in your sleep last night. You keep saying 'Senpai, I love you! I need you in my life.'

Nya: So you finally like a guy! This is the best day ever!

Lloyd: No! That's not it! I like Harumi!

Kai: You don't have to be shy about it. If you want to impress him, you act like you don't give a shit about him. If he's dying, let him die.

Zane: That's terrible advice.

Cole: Yeah. Lloyd, you have to act tough. That always gets ladies wanting you more. Or guys since you're gay.

Kai: Says the guy who doesn't have a girlfriend.

Cole: *glares at Kai* I went on dates, Kai! It just that they don't see me as boyfriend material. Except for one, but she's crazy.

Jay: Lloyd, You should like what he likes. I found yaoi very interesting ever since I dated Nya. *whispers* I still don't understand how girls are into that stuff.

Nya: I heard that! Lloyd, guys like you want a man to be true to themselves. So just be yourself. If he doesn't want you for who you are, then that's his problem. *smiles at Lloyd* There's always someone out there for you, Lloyd.

Lloyd: Thanks. That made me feel good.

Nya: So you finally admit you like a guy.

Lloyd drops his sword he was using for training and starts walking away. Before he goes, he looks at Nya with a serious expression on his face.

Lloyd: One day, Nya. One day I'll get a girlfriend and prove you wrong. *walks away*

Nya: *smirks* You can't run forever, Lloyd.


Later in the palace, as Lloyd walks around the palace, he hears the Emperor, Empress, and Harumi talking in the throne room.

Emperor: What were you thinking!? Going outside with the ninja just so you can do kind things like helping the poor!

Empress: You could've got hurt.

Emperor: Or killed!

Harumi: I wasn't doing anything wrong like running a cult. I was doing kind things like any Disney Princess would do. Therefore, I'm innocent and-

Emperor: We're not owned by Disney.

Harumi: What?

Emperor: We're owned by Lego. Not Disney.

Harumi: Oh shit. Well I... *runs away but stops when she sees Lloyd*

Lloyd: Hi. I-

Harumi: *runs away again* I did nothing wrong! I'm innocent!

Lloyd: Wait!

Hutchins: You know if she was killed by a homeless person while you two were in the city, I would have killed you and your family. *walks away*

Lloyd: Where did you come from?

Nya: *walks up to Lloyd* Let me guess. Harumi's life has been a lie to her.

Lloyd: Yup.

Nya: I feel a little sad for her. Just a little, because I like soap operas.

Kai: *runs up to Nya and picks her up* I FOUND THE SECRET! *throws Nya at a wall*

Nya: Ow! My back!


Later outside of the palace

Kai: *sees the Postman surrounded by guards*

Postman: I'm just here delivering mail. You see me every day!

Guard 1: Don't take another step.

Postman: *whispers* Watch me. *takes a step*

Guard 1: What did I fucking say!? *pulls out his sword*

Kai: Guys, calm down! I know him. Sorry, Mr. Postman. I'll deliver the mail.

Postman: Thanks. *hands the mail to Kai* See you next season.

Kai: Mr. Postman, did you just break the fourth wall?

Postman: Maybe. Maybe not. *runs off*


Meanwhile, Cole's climbing up the palace while talking to himself

Cole: *gets to the top and looks around* What a lovely view... You know. This strangely reminds me of the time when I met Wu.

Cole climbed a mountain and when he gets to the top he saw an old man drinking tea

Cole: …

Sensei Wu: … *notices Cole* What the fuck are you doing on my mountain?

Cole: What?

Sensei Wu: Go climb a different mountain! This one's mine.

Cole: You don't own this mountain!

Sensei Wu: I got here first. So piss off!

Cole: You know what?! Fine! I don't even want to be here with you and your stupid beard!

Sensei Wu: How dare you say that about my beard! Just who do you think you are?!

Cole: Cole Brookstone! That's who I am!

Sensei Wu: Oh… Well, this is awkward.

Cole: What's awkward?

Sensei Wu: I've been waiting for you, Cole Brookstone... For too long! Where the fuck were you! You were supposed to be here yesterday! I had to sleep up here last night and then a bird attacked me!

Cole: Sorry. I didn't expect someone was waiting for me up a mountain. Why are you even here?

Sensei Wu: I need you to become a ninja so you can fight my brother. It's a dangerous task and I understand if you-

Cole: I'll do it.

Sensei Wu: Are you serious?!

Cole: Only because my dad won't stop talking about how Footloose is the 'greatest film'. Also, my mom died so I'm still pretty sad about that.

Cole: He was kinda a d- *sees Hutchins going through a secret entrance* Where's he going? *follows him*


Later with Kai and Nya at the entrance of the palace

Nya: So then I was like-

/Cole: Guys, the palace is about to explode!/

Nya: What? *sees the palace explode*

Kai: *sees the palace on fire* Holy shit! *sees another explosion* What can get worse than this?!

Kai and Nya turn around and see the Sons of Garmadon, Mr. E, and Ultra Violet in front of them.

Mr. E: *waves*

Ultra Violet: Sup MOTHERFUCKERS!

Nya: You just had to jinx us, Kai.

Kai: Oh come on! *gets run over by the Sons of Garmadon, Mr. E, and Ultra Violet*

Nya: You'll pay for that, bitch!


Meanwhile, with Lloyd, he's in the palace and sees everything inside burning down like hell. Everyone is either running or fighting for their lives.

/Nya: We're being under attack!/

Lloyd: I can see that. *sees Hutchins* You!

Hutchins: Who me?

Lloyd: Yes you!

Hutchins: Couldn't be.

Lloyd: Then who- You know what I'm talking about! Cole said he saw you in the tunnel with the explosives.

Hutchins: I didn't start this!I'm innocent and would never- *sees Ultra Violet coming straight towards Lloyd* Watch out! *tackles Lloyd*

Lloyd: What was that for!?

Hutchins: Do you really want to get run over by a maniac on a motorcycle?

Ultra Violet: *sees that she didn't hit Lloyd* Oh come on! You gotta be FUCKING kidding me! *gets knocked off of her motorcycle by Lloyd*

Hutchins: Does anyone know where the princess is!?

Zane: *appears out of nowhere with Harumi* I already saved her.

Harumi: Hey.

Hutchins: Oh... Did you find the Emperor and Empress?

Zane: I heard them screaming for help, but I was too busy saving Harumi.

Hutchins: You left them to die!?

Zane: Well... Oh shit.

Ultra Violet: Oh my god! *pulls out a sai* WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY!? *about to stab Hutchins*

Zane: *uses spinjitzu to freeze Ultra Violet* You need to chill out you crazy bitch.

Lloyd: Thank the First Spinjitzu Master you're alright, Princess Harumi. I wouldn't know what I'll do without you because-

Harumi: Who's protecting the mask?!

Lloyd: Okay. Guess I'll go fuck myself then.


Meanwhile, with the rest of the team, they're standing in front of the Mask of Deception

Mr. E: Uv. Zl anzr vf Ze. R naq V jnf jbaqrevat vs V pbhyq obeebj gur znfx sbe n juvyr. V'yy tvir vg onpx gb lbh jura jr erfheerpg Ybeq Tneznqba.

Jay: Alright, sir. You better not take another step towards the mask or else my boyfriends and girlfriend will stop you.

Cole: Yeah- Wait, what?

Jay: I meant best friends! Not boyfriends.

Mr. E: *grabs the Mask of Vengeance from his pocket* Jryy, V thrff jr'yy qb guvf gur uneq jnl. *puts on the Mask of Vengeance on and gets four arms*

Jay: You gotta be kidding me. Four arms? So unoriginal.

Kai: Let's kick his ass!

Mr. E: *picks up Nya* Guvf ovgpu rzcgl. LRRG! *throws her at the ninja*

Nya: I'M GETTING TIRED OF THIS!

Mr. E: *grabs the Mask of Deception* Lrf!

Kai: Oh hell no! *shoots fire at the mask*

Mr. E: *sees the mask get destroyed by the fire* Jung gur shpx!?


Meanwhile with Lloyd

/Nya: You know The Mask of Deception?/

Lloyd: Yeah.

/Nya: It got destroyed/

Lloyd: WHAT!?

Hutchins: Don't worry, everyone. I have the real mask right here. *pulls out the Mask of Deception out of nowhere*

Harumi: You made a fake one?!

Hutchins: Well it's the Mask of Deception, after all, princess. I can't trust anyone with it. Especially you.

Harumi: Wha- What do you mean by that?

Hutchins: You always stare at it with a creepy smile. It's very uncomfortable.*pushes a chair that reveals a secret exit* Lloyd, I need you to get the princess and the Mask of Deception out of here. *hands Lloyd the mask* Go!


Later outside

Lloyd: *steals a motorcycle* Let's go, Rumi!

They got on the motorcycle and head off to the highway. On the highway, they're being chase down by Ultra Violet and the Sons of Garmadon on their motorcycle.

Ultra Violet: Come back, little ninja! Give me the FUCKING mask!

Lloyd: I don't think so. *goes to a different lane*

Ultra Violet: God dammit! I've been easily beaten!

Biker 1: We could just follow them.

Ultra Violet: Shut up!


Later

Harumi: I think we lost her.

Ultra Violet: *appears out of nowhere* BITCH, you thought! *drives past Lloyd*

Lloyd: Ha! She missed us. *sees the mask missing* Harumi.

Harumi: Yeah.

Lloyd: Where's the mask?

Harumi: I think I dropped it.

Lloyd: *sighs* You're so lucky I love you.

Ultra Violet: *holds up the Mask of Deception* FUCK yeah!

Harumi: We have to get the mask back.

Lloyd: You're right. Let's- *sees the Sons of Garmadon behind Ultra Violet* How about another day?

Harumi: Sounds good.

Lloyd: *drives off to the Destiny Bounty* This way!

Once Lloyd and Harumi get there, they run inside.

Harumi: What are we doing here?! We can't escape on a boat.

Lloyd: Don't worry. I got a plan. *turns the machine on* We'll just- *sees the machine turn off* Come on! *repeatedly kicks it*

Harumi: *looks outside and sees the Sons of Garmadon coming closer to the Destiny's Bounty* They're getting closer, Lloyd.

Lloyd: *walks over to the power generator and smashes his fists on it* Work already! *sees the ship finally turn on* Finally. *runs to the steering wheel* Let's go.


Meanwhile outside

Ultra Violet: *sees the Destiny's Bounty fly away and throws the Mask of Deception to the ground* FIRST SPINJITZU MASTER FUCKING DAMMIT!

Biker 1: At least we have the mask.

Ultra Violet: Shut up, Brian!

Jeff: My names Jeff.


The next day on the highway with the rest of the ninja

Zane: Is everyone alright?

Jay: *falls to the ground* I think my everything's broken.

Nya: It's no fair Lloyd didn't have to fight that guy. *stretches her back*

Kai: Speaking of Lloyd, where is he?

Cole: *stretches his arm* I don't know. He left with Harumi with the Mask of Deception.

Jay: *points at the Destiny's Bounty coming towards them* There he is!

Lloyd: *arrives with Harumi on the Destiny's Bounty* …

Everyone: *gets on the ship* ...

Zane: You lost the mask, didn't you?

Lloyd: Yeah.

Harumi: What happened to everyone?

Cole: I'm sorry to say this but-

Nya: They died in the fire. Everyone's dead… Even Hutchins and your parents.

Harumi: *tries not to cry* Oh...

Lloyd: *puts his hand on her shoulder* Don't worry, princess. I'll make sure whoever did this pays. And by that I mean die because no one hurts Senpai.

Nya: Your crush got hurt in the fire?

Lloyd: No! That's not true.

Harumi: Lloyd has a crush on a boy?

Lloyd: Damn it!
