Review replies:

Kat: Hmm, maybe. xD I have some things in mind.

Rosalina: Me too. :D Nope, I haven't. What's it about?

The Mayor of Ninjago City: Indeed it is. xD

ninjachief: You think Lloyd would be so calm at the sight of both his worst enemy and his lost father? I don't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know. xD I credit my sister Ally, she used to nitpick every mistake I made until I stopped making them. Other than that, writing just comes naturally to me. ^ ^ I started with one chapter written ahead of time, but now I have none and I'm falling behind some. :P That and I get distracted by other stuff whenever I get on the computer to type it in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ebony: Sort of... I mean, he probably doesn't really appreciate it now. xD They never defeat the bad guy instantly, they have to lose first so it's more intresting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nicktastic: Yay! :D

NinjagoMLP: Sure thing! You can either enter them in a review or in a PM :)

TheAmberShadow: I mean she's so big that there isn't really much room for her in the city. xD

Samantha: ;D

Glacier: Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

Dreamcatchers: Sure, I can make that happen. ;)

Windy: xD I know how that feels. Even though I still don't really know how to use Wattpad. That's awesome! I wish I knew sign language, but I'm bad at learning languages. :P

A/N toooo looongggggg

Chapter 4

"Well, Andreea, this wasn't exactly what I imagined when you said you'd found help." Lloyd lifted his head to find himself staring into the familiar, grey eyes of his Sensei.

"I guess not." Andreea hopped to her feet, dusting herself off. "Sensei, this is Indigo, Gin, and Jessica." She gestured to the four girls in turn. "You know the rest. Anything happen while I was gone?"

"No, nothing." Sensei replied, his eyes skimming over the group on the floor as they began to get to their feet. Abruptly, his eyes widened as they stopped on Lloyd's father. "Brother…"

"Hello." The grey-haired man smiled as he slowly got to his feet. "Not your Garmadon, I'm afraid, but it is me." After staring at him for a couple moments, Sensei stepped forward and hugged his older brother, an embrace that was quickly returned.

"Can't wait until we see the other Lloyd's reaction." Jay whispered in Lloyd's ear.

"Heh." The blond boy cracked a faint smile. "To be honest, I'm a little nervous about seeing the other me. And… seeing what Morro's done to him." Lloyd cast a glance at Morro, but the ghost apparently hadn't heard him, since he was watching Wu and not paying attention.

"It is good to see you." Sensei said at last, pulling away. "And you, Morro."

"Me?" the wind master asked in surprise. "But… here I'm evil."

"Exactly." The bearded man nodded. "I've missed you as my student. I would give anything to bring this world's version of you back to the light, but…" Sensei bowed his head slightly. "I fear he is beyond saving." He was silent for a moment before raising his head again. "Come, you should meet the others." Andreea took the lead, heading towards the exit of the room, which, upon further inspection, appeared to be some kind of workshop or laboratory. Pushing through the door, Andreea held it open to let them file through. Lloyd, who had been jostled to the front of the group, entered first, and therefore got the first look at… himself.

Lloyd almost stopped in his tracks at the sight of the teen sitting across the room from him, who looked just – if not more – as surprised as he was. The other Lloyd didn't look exactly like him – his hair was a little shorter, and his clothes were different, not to mention the metal leg – but his face was the same. Stepping out of the way of the door, Lloyd glanced at the other occupants of the room. Kai, Cole, and Zane. The latter two looks mostly the same, it was going to be hard to tell them apart. Kai, however, looked pretty different. His hair was more… limp? And he looked sad. That must be because of Nya. The four other ninja stared at him for a few moments before turning their attention to the others entering the room. After a moment, the other Lloyd's eyes widened and he shot to his feet.

"Dad!" he exclaimed. In the middle of the group, Garmadon looked up at him with a smile.

"Hello." The other Lloyd looked like he wanted to dash towards him, but his casted foot prevented it. Instead, he balanced himself on his crutches, picking his way across the room as Garmadon pushed his way out of the group, meeting the blond boy halfway and letting him wrap his arms around him tight.

"Dad…" he grinned, burying his face in the older man's shoulder as Garmadon hugged him back. "I mean… I know you're not my dad." The other Lloyd said, pulling away slightly so his voice wasn't muffled. "But I've still really missed you."

"Wait, we're allowed to hug alternate versions of our loved ones?" The other Kai raised an eyebrow. "Count me in!" Jumping to his feet, he ran across the room, tackling her in a hug that she gladly returned. "I've missed you, lil' sis." He mumbled. Nya just smiled.

"I guess we're going to need a couple introductions." The other Cole said, glancing at the girls. Lloyd nodded.

"This is Indigo, Jessica, and Gin." He named them, gesturing to each one in turn. "Indigo and Gin are elemental masters, and Jessica is a gymnast. And you all know Morro." The green ninja gestured to the wind master, who lowered his eyes to the floor as an uncomfortable silence descended over the room. "He's nothing like he is here, I can assure you." Lloyd added after a moment.

"He's right." Andreea spoke. "This one's a good guy."

"If you say so." The other Lloyd said at last. "Bansha too?" The pink ninja nodded. "Alright. There are gonna have to be some introductions on our end too. Jay?" He raised his voice on the last word.

"Why didn't you just have them here to meet us in the first place?" Cole asked.

"They're a bit… rash." The other Lloyd ran a hand through his hair. "I didn't want them attacking any of you, especially Morro." Morro seemed to relax a bit at this. A moment later, the door on the other side of the room opened, and Jay marched through, followed by a teenage boy and a young woman. The blue ninja's eyes – er, eye – instantly locked on Nya, while the two others narrowed their eyes at Morro. "Everyone, this is Dyana and Harry." The other Lloyd gestured to them. "Dyana controls darkness, and Harry is a telepath." Harry nodded at them, while Dyana just glanced at them without acknowledgement. Jay whispered something to them, and the woman rolled her eyes, but nodded along with the boy.

"Well, if we're finished getting introduced…" Cole said, pulling a remote out of his pocket and pressing a button that lit up the screen on the far wall. "Let's get to taking back our realm."

Well this'll be fun
