In case you don't remember, in the last chapter focusing on Lloyd he was trying to reboot a broken motherboard by shocking it with his lightning. Instead he electrocuted himself and woke up in some sort of woods, where his powers were stripped from him, and he's not getting them back until he completes the last test. The Test of Will.

Chapter XX: The Test of Will

Lloyd looked around himself to see that he was on some sort of floating pirate ship. It was nothing like the Destiny's Bounty, though. This ship was smaller, but it had more weapons. It had orange sails with a skull symbol on it, as well as the black flag that sailed above.

Lloyd looked around the ship for a while ready for whatever was going to come next. He started looking in the cabins for any sign of life, but he couldn't find anyone. That was until he saw a strange puff of orange smoke out of the corner of his eye. Lloyd turned around to see something that looked a lot like an orange genie. He was with a huge orange person with yellow eyes and a green helmet, a man with a bushy black mustache, a green serpentine with a peg leg, and a mechanical monkey.

"So, cap. What's the plan?" the guy with the mustache asked the genie.

"We take the ninja! They will help us rebuild my home!" the genie replied.

Suddenly, Lloyd heard the sound of a monkey behind him. He turned around to see the mechanical monkey yelling and pointing at him.

"Uh-oh," Lloyd said.

The genie disappeared in a puff of spoke and reappeared right in front of Lloyd.

"What do we have here?" he said in some sort of accent.

"Get on the deck with your hands in the air!" the guy with the moustache said with his gun pointing to Lloyd's chest.

Lloyd immediately raised his hands in the air and stood up straighter. "Ok, ok!" he said as he was walking to the deck.

"I have never seen the likes of you before," the genie said.

"Me neither," Lloyd replied.

"Wh-wh-what are y-y-y-y-you," the snake stuttered like crazy.

The genie held up a green, glowing sword and held it to Lloyd's neck.

"This is the Sword of Souls," the genie said. "It belonged to my father and his before him. One slice of this sword, and you will be trapped inside."

"Why would you want to do that?" Lloyd asked.

"So, I can gain back what is rightfully mine!" he said. "My home realm was destroyed by you ninja, and your power is what I need to rebuild it!"

Suddenly, Lloyd heard the sound of a scream from the sword.

"Kai?" Lloyd asked.

"Yes, I trapped the fire ninja already. He was pretty tough, for a ninja."

"It's not real. It's just a test," Lloyd whispered to himself.

"Of course, I could just take you away with the sword, but that won't give me enough power," the genie continued.

"Then what will?" Lloyd asked.

"I will give you three wishes," the genie said causing two chairs and a table to appear. The genie sat in one while Lloyd was in the other, "by the time you have completed said wishes, you will have given up on everything. You will want everything to go away, and your agony will give me enough power to build Djinjago!

"That's what you think," Lloyd told him. "By the way, do I get a name for the one who wants to kill me so bad?"

"Nadahan, and you?"

"Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon. I'm surprised you don't know who I am already."

"Do you want your wishes, then?" Nadakhan asked.

Lloyd thought about that for a moment. His life was great. Why would he wish for anything, but this genie was clearly evil, so he would need a weapon.

"I wish that I had your sword," Lloyd said.

The pirates could hear loud clanging from the cabins behind them before a sword came flying out one of the doors and into Lloyd's hand.

"What? I wished for the Sword of Souls!" Lloyd said.

"You have to be more specific than that. I own multiple swords. What kind of pirate would I be if I didn't?" Nadakhan gained a huge cheer from his crew at that.

Lloyd charged at Nadakhan with his new founded sword, but before he could get close enough to even hit him, he disappeared in an orange cloud of smoke. Suddenly, Lloyd heard a poof behind him. He turned around to see Nadakhan with four swords for each of his hands and just missed one of Lloyd's arms.

"How is it that so many people have four arms," Lloyd groaned. "I'm getting tired of this."

"Wanna wish it all away?" Nadakhan asked.

"Nope," Lloyd replied with a michevious grin on his face. "For my second wish, I wish to have the same advantage that you have!"

"Your wish is yours to keep," Nadakhan said as he granted it.

"What?" Lloyd said. Suddenly, he felt an odd pain in his side. He clutched it and started screaming in pain. Was Nadakhan getting lower or was Lloyd getting taller. He couldn't take it anymore. Lloyd tried to wish it all away, but the minute he opened his eyes he saw four arms instead of two. Lloyd fainted.

"Is he going to wake up?" Lloyd heard a familiar voice ask.

"I-I-I-I don't know, C-C-Cap," he heard a slithery voice respond.

"Why not just kill him where he is? There are still the other ninja," Lloyd opened his eyes slightly to see the guy in the bushy moustache talking. He was still on the pirate ship!

"Because the green ninja is the strongest! We get him, and all we'll need is the girl," Nadakhan explained.

"Also, I think this is supposed to be a test," Lloyd said as he sat up.

He gasped when he saw his four arms again. "What if this was a sign? What if this means I'll turn into my father?" Lloyd asked himself.

"Ah, so, you're awake," Nadakhan said as he floated over to the green ninja.

"I haven't been this surprised since the first time I shot a seagull when I was in the artic," the guy with the bushy moustache said.

"Y-Y-You said it F-Flintlocke," the snake said.

"Now that you're awake you probably want to make your last wish. I can get rid of your arms for you," Nadakhan suggested.

"I'll make the wish when I'm ready," Lloyd replied crossing his arms.

Nadakhan scowled, "Put him to work!"

Next thing Lloyd knew, he had a ball and chain made of vengestone on his leg and a mop in his hand.

"I k-know the p-p-poop d-d-deck is messy, but I-I-I enjoy my t-times here," the snake, which Lloyd discovered to be Clancey told him.

"How do you stand this?" Lloyd asked.

"St-stand what?" Clancey asked.

Lloyd nearly threw up when a bird pooped on his head.

"Ah," Clancey realized, "a-after a while the-the-the sea-seagulls begin to l-like you."

"So, stay here long enough, and I won't get pooped on?" Lloyd asked.

"Yep," Clancey replied.

Lloyd stayed on the ship for days. He never heard of his friends, and after a while he forgot why or how he even got on the ship in the first place. The seagulls eventually stopped pooping on him, and Nadakhan was getting more and more frustrated as he wasn't breaking the ninja dressed in green.

One day, as Lloyd was mopping the poop deck his hand started to burn. Thinking it was from the sun, Lloyd stared mopping closer to the shade, but the burning wouldn't go away. Lloyd looked down at his hands to see that they were turning black!

"Wh-what's happening?" Lloyd asked.

Nadakhan appeared in his cloud of smoke behind him and smiled.

"You asked for the same advantage against me as I have against you a while back, didn't you?" he asked.

"What does that mean?" Lloyd groaned. He dropped the mop and started clutching his hands to his chest.

"A human having four arms can only be from one thing. They let the evil in their heart consume them. No matter how hard anyone tries the evil is still there. Eating at you day and night, trying to find a way to hurt others. The evil is burning you, and there is only one way to stop it," Nadakhan explained.

"Wishing it all away?" Lloyd guessed.

Nadakhan nodded.

"Well, then, for my third wish I wish all of your pain to go away!" Lloyd wished.

"What?" Nadakhan asked. Suddenly, he began to shake he became sort of orange dot that glowed and glowed until it entered the sword.

Suddenly, everything disappeared, and Lloyd was put in a dark room where the only light was a glowing green orb.

"What's that?" Lloyd asked. His voice was suddenly much deeper.

"Have you forgotten?" a voice asked. "It's your power, and it's rightfully yours."

The green orb rushed around the room until it finally entered Lloyd's body, causing him to finally wake up in his own bed at the Temple of Airjitzu.

"Lloyd!" Skylor exclaimed. "Are you okay? What happened to your eyes?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," Lloyd replied. "What do you mean what happened to my eyes?"

"You-were-struck-by-lightning," Skylor said slowly, "I'm sorry. Did your voice get lower in like-a day?"

"I guess," Lloyd replied as he shakily stood back up. "Now what's this with my eyes?" he looked back at her.

Skylor handed him a mirror so Lloyd could see that his eyes were now glowing, and his hair was messed up from the lightning strike.

"I think I like the new hairdo," was all Lloyd said, and he never even bothered to remember that horrible experience with Nadakhan and his crew.
