Chapter 36

Lloyd slammed a ball of golden power against the glass in front of him, silently willing it to break. To his dismay, it only bounced off, dissipating as it hit the opposite wall. Outside the wide, glass tube, the Overlord let out a raspy laugh.

"Isn't it good to be back, Golden Ninja?" the creature of darkness hissed. "We've missed you."

"Can't say I return the sentiment…" the blond boy muttered, trying to find a way out of his glass prison. It was a perfect replica of the machine that had drained his golden power the second time they fought the Overlord, undoubtedly to be used for the same purpose. But why? What did they even need the golden power for?

"I assume you're wondering why I haven't infected you yet?" the Overlord rasped. That hadn't actually occurred to him, but he was curious. He didn't answer, though, choosing to glare silently at his captor instead. The villain chuckled again before saying, "Your tough act doesn't fool me. I know you're afraid. I can feel your fear. But it won't change what I'm going to do to you." Lloyd couldn't stop a shudder from going through him, and his enemy's grin widened. "Well, go on. Guess why I haven't made you my slave." The green ninja was silent for a few moments before it became evident that the Overlord wasn't going to explain until he guessed.

"You… want me to be afraid." He guessed at last.

"You're close." The monster said with a raspy laugh. "I want you to know that you're helpless. I want you to watch as we destroy your friends with your own power. And then I want you to watch your best friend kill you." Lloyd's face paled, and he quickly turned away, but the Overlord saw and began to laugh. "You can't escape from me. Neither can your friends. They are outnumbered. Outmatched. And now, their greatest weapon is mine. Ninjago will fall without you. And there is nothing you can do about it."

"Save the gloating." Lloyd looked over his shoulder to glare at his captor. "It can only be used against you by your enemy." The Overlord looked stunned, and the room was silent until Chen yelled,

"Oooooh, you just got BURNED!"

"Shut up, scum!" The creature of darkness snapped as Master Chen snickered. "Stop laughing and ready the machine. I want this brat put in his place." The Overlord muttered as he stomped off. Lloyd waited for him to leave the room, then drew his fist back and punched the glass with all his strength. He hissed as his knuckles met the unyielding glass, a wave of pain going through him as he yanked his hand back. He heard Chen let out a bark of laughter as he watched dark bruises form on his hand, and looked up to see the former noodle tycoon pressing various buttons on the dashboard in front of him. Lloyd could hear him muttering about buttons, but his already-quiet voice was muffled by the glass too much for the blond boy to understand. Finally, the red-haired man looked up and grinned at him, flipping a final switch. Then, out of nowhere, the drain of his golden power hit him like a bag of bricks. The green ninja gasped, stumbling forward to brace his hands against the glass. It wasn't that it hurt, exactly, but this feeling was almost worse than pain. It felt like the wind getting knocked out of him, only ten times worse. He could barely stand up. He could barely breathe. It was pointless to fight it; he knew that from the first time this had happened. Sliding to the ground, he closed his eyes, desperately hoping that he would black out and be free of this feeling, at least for a little while.

ReturnOfTheOverlord

"…see when he blacked out?"

"Only a couple minutes in."

"Pity. Perhaps next time I can shock him to keep him awake." What happened? What was going on? Groggily, Lloyd opened his eyes, lifting his head and looking around. He was still lying in the center of the platform, but the machine was off and the glass shield previously around him was raised. About ten feet away, he could see five or six black cylinders with bands of glass around the center, displaying the golden power stored inside. So they were storing it for some reason. "You." The Overlord snapped, and the blond boy looked up, wondering if he was talking to him. He wasn't. Lloyd watched as Morro crossed the room, stopping next to his master. "Take these to the storeroom." The creature of darkness ordered. The infected ghost obeyed silently, stepping over to the nearest container and picking it up. As soon as he touched it, though, a bolt of golden energy leapt out at him, and Lloyd watched in shock as his brother's skin changed back to green in a flash, his eyes' purple glow fading and revealing the pale-green irises underneath.
"M-Morro!" the blond boy stuttered in shock as the ghost stumbled backwards in confusion.

"Lloyd? What happened? What's going on?!" the wind master demanded, his eyes widening as they fixed on the Overlord.

"M-Morro, run!" Lloyd shouted as he spotted Chen running up behind the ghost. Morro spun around, but it was too late, the former noodle tycoon snapped a pair of vengestone cuffs on his wrists and yanked him off balance as two of Soul Archer's ghosts ran into the room and grabbed the wind master's arms.

"Lloyd!" his brother yelled helplessly as he was dragged away.

"Infect him again." The Overlord ordered. "And find that djinn for me."

"I have a name, you know…" Lloyd startled as Nadakhan appeared next to the Overlord in a puff of smoke, all four hands on his hips. Four hands. Teleporting. He was the one who had snatched him off his dragon and brought him back here.

"There you are…" the creature of darkness muttered. "Take these," he gestured to the canisters of golden energy. "to the storeroom. Then take the brat to an empty cell."

"Fine." The djinn muttered, taking one of the cylinders and vanishing with it. A moment later, he reappeared empty-handed and took another. As he repeated this process, Lloyd lifted his hand into his field of view, trying to summon a ball of golden power. All he managed a spark, a tiny bolt of energy that leapt from one finger to the next with a tiny burst of light. The Overlord chuckled.

"You're not quite as powerful as you thought, Golden Ninja." His captor gloated. The blond boy lifted his head to glare at him, but he didn't have the strength to talk back. "Aren't you looking forward to when we do it again?" Again?! They were planning to drain his energy more than once?! What did they even want with his power?! Unless they were just doing it to hurt him… he wouldn't put it past them… "Take him to a cell." The Overlord ordered Nadakhan, who had finished transporting the canisters. "And see to it that he rests up."

"Right…" the djinn muttered, floating over. He grabbed Lloyd by the arm, then the room changed around him and he found himself in a dark cell. Looking disinterested, Nadakhan let go of him and started to move away, but the blond boy spoke up.
"W-wait…" the djinn turned back, raising an eyebrow.

"What?"

"I-I want to make a wish." Lloyd pushed himself back up against the wall, sitting up and leaning back against the wall. The orange-skinned man's mouth curved into a smile as he folded one set of arms over his chest.

"By all means, go ahead." Nadakhan encouraged him. Lloyd hesitated, thinking through exactly how he wanted to word this. After a moment's thought, he spoke.
"I wish my father was invincible." The djinn stared at him blankly, and he quickly went on. "That he can't be hurt by any physical thing. That includes illnesses. But he stays a normal human, just unable to be hurt." Nadakhan's smile slowly faded, and he uncrossed his arms.

"Your father." He repeated.

"Yes." The two locked eyes for a few moments before the orange-skinned man shrugged and said,

"I see no harm in that." Nadakhan snapped his fingers, and Lloyd's face lit up.

"You couldn't twist my wish?"

"I could twist it; I just chose not to." The djinn rolled his eyes. "It doesn't affect out fight. I understand your affection for your father." The orange-skinned man stared into space for a moment before shaking his head and vanishing. Lloyd exhaled slowly, letting his head droop onto his chest. He might die, or be tortured, or whatever the Overlord planned to do to him, but at least his dad would be safe. And maybe, just maybe, he had found an ally in Nadakhan.
