EntityEndDragon: *dabs*

Jayden: I will at some point. But currently I'm trying to update 3 different stories (This, Haunted, and I'm Not Sick) on a fairly regular basis, so I won't start it just yet.

PastelninjaMonile: Lloyd is super trusting. Which is probably going to eventually get him in trouble.

Chantelle: I'm good at that ;)

Ebony: He needs to take a logic class. Like tumblr.

Nicktastic: Tori and Lloyd 2 have been hiding in a closet hanging out for like 3 chapters now

Samantha: Oh Samantha, Samantha, Samantha... it's always been weird.

Windy: Indigo needs to chill.

Slam. Morro was startled half to death by his room door being opened, flung against the wall, then slammed shut. Turning around with wide eyes, the ghost boy watched with blurry vision as Indigo stomped through the room and threw herself face-first onto Lloyd's bed with a loud groan.

"Uh… Indigo?" He spoke up after a few moments. "You okay?"

"Lloyd." She said flatly, her voice muffled by the mattress.

"Um… what about him? And which one?"

"Our Lloyd. Guess where I found him."

"…where?"

"In the jail. In evil Morro's cell. Cuddling with him."

"What?" Morro frowned. "That… honestly doesn't surprise me too much. It's in his nature to be forgiving, it's just… I'm surprised the other me let him do it."

"But he knows what a slimeball he is! He knows what he tried to do to me!"

"Wait, what do you mean?" The wind master narrowed his eyes a bit. "'Tried'?" Indigo was silent for a few moments.

"Oh, I guess I never got around to telling you."

"Telling me what?"

"The other you tried to rape me."

"WHAT?!" Morro sat bolt upright, staring at her in shock and horror. "Wh- why? And when?"

"Right before I broke out and came to find you and Bansha." His girlfriend replied, her voice monotone. He kept making threats, offhanded comments about having some fun with me, or me joining him in bed. When he actually tried to do it, we didn't make it ten feet towards his bedrrom before I drained his energy and ran. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you while you were recovering, but I did tell Lloyd. And he doesn't care." Morro stared at her blurry form silently for a few moments before stiffly getting to his feet.

"I'll be back in a little while."

"Where are you going?"

"To teach my counterpart a lesson." Indigo gave an approving nod, then walked him stalk out of the room. Lloyd had better not be there. If he was, he would have to lie to distract him, or forcefully get him out of the way. Fortunately, he noted as he entered the jail, he wasn't. The other him was alone, tracing patterns on the floor with his finger and looking up with a slight frown as he entered.

"What do you want?" He asked – not a in a hostile tone, just a confused one.

"My girlfriend told me about what you tried to do to her." Morro replied coldly.

"Tried to do to…" His double trailed off, and the first didn't need good vision to see the expression on his face. Fear. "O-oh…"

"I'm here…" Morro grabbed the keys and stepped forward to stand in front of his door. "…to settle a score."

"N-no, please." The other him stammered, standing up and backing against the far wall of his cell. "I'm sorry, I was wrong to hurt her, but I've… I've changed, please."

"'Sorry' doesn't cut it." The wind master snapped, fumbling to unlock his door. "You locked me up and beat me, broke every bone in my fingers, then tried to rape my girlfriend. You tried to kill Lloyd's father, then possessed him and beat Lloyd mercilessly in his body. Then you blinded me, and then hurt an innocent child to try to capture Lloyd. And you think you can just say 'sorry' and think we'll leave you alone? No. You deserve pain. You deserve to get back what you've done to everyone you've ever hurt. And more." The other him shook his head as he pulled the door open, his breaths coming short and fast as he stepped closer.

"L-Lloyd!" He yelled. "H-help!"

"Don't you dare call to him for help!" Morro punched him in the stomach, then slammed his head against the wall as his knees buckled, smirking at the sickening crack as his head hit the wall. As his double collapsed with a groan, he stomped on his hand, and former king let out a pained cry. Morro kicked him in the side as he curled into a ball, the injured ghost cradling his hand to his chest as he whimpered in pain.

"MORRO!" The scream from behind him made him pause, and the ghost boy turned around to see Lloyd staring at him in shock from the doorway. "What are you doing?! Stop!"

"He deserves it." Morro hissed, giving his double another kick to the side. The weak cry of pain it elicited from the former king only served to upset Lloyd further.

"Stop it NOW! We're the good guys! We don't hurt people like that, no matter what they've done!"

"I'm not like you, Lloyd. I don't have infinite patience." Morro started to pull the cell door shut – if it was locked, Lloyd couldn't stop him – but the blond dashed forward and yanked it open. "Lloyd," he said in a warning tone. "Don't try to stop me."

"No! I'm not going to leave and let you hurt him!"

"L-Lloyd…" His double choked out. "…m-make him s-stop…"

"How dare you ask him for help?!" Morro snarled, aiming a kick at his head. Before he could execute it, though, his feet were kicked out from underneath him, and he landed on his back with a grunt. When he looked up again, Lloyd knelt on the floor in front of his double, arms out to block him from reaching him.

"If you want him, you'll have to go through me." He said stubbornly. Morro slowly got to his feet, staring down at him in silence.

"I thought you were my friend." he said at last.

"I am your friend! But that doesn't mean I'll just stand by and let you beat him!"

"How can you even defend him? He hurt you! He hurt me! He hurt your father! He hurt everyone!" Morro hissed. "He hurt Indigo!" Lloyd frowned.

"So, that's what this is all about?"

"Everything is what this is about." The wind master snapped. "He deserves this. He threatened to do horrible things to you, and did do horrible things to the other you. You think he's changed? You didn't see him gloating after he beat me to a pulp, threatening to do the same to Indigo if I didn't give up the location of our base. You didn't see him use an image of you, created by some henchman, threatening to kill you if I didn't surrender.

"He is crafty. He knows how to hit you where it hurts, how to manipulate you. And he will do anything. He will beg and plead for mercy, then stab you in the back when your guard is down. Cry and pretend to be sorry, then slaughter us all when we turn our backs. Want to know how I know? Because when I was evil, I lived the exact. Same. Way. Now get away from him and let me have my revenge."

"So when I saw you in an alley, I should've just left and never come back?" Lloyd countered, his eyes narrowed into slits. "The other ninja told me the exact same thing you just told me. That you could never be trusted, and that, given the opportunity, you would stab me in the back. And they had reason to think so. You possessed me, tortured me, and threatened to kill me. Why should I give you the benefit of the doubt? You didn't even apologize, or admit you were wrong. The most I ever got was an occasional mumbled 'thanks'."

"At least that was in character. It makes no sense for him to have a sudden change in heart." Morro crossed his arms.

"He didn't! He was angry at first, hurling insults and hate at me. He was sad, upset that the Preeminent had replaced him. Then when he tried to kill himself, the Preeminent told him he was foolish and worthless. Crumbling the last bit of resolve he had left."

"And how do you know he wasn't lying about that, hmm?"

"I've seen you cry enough times to know real tears when I see them." The blond rolled his eyes. "And he hugged me readily enough. That wasn't faked either. Look, I don't care if you like him or trust him. Just don't hurt him. Don't stoop to his level. If you start beating people because you think they've done the wrong thing, are you any better than he is?"

"'Think'? He-"

"That's not my point! My point is, he thought you and I were in the wrong. We wronged him, so he used that to justify hurting us. If you do the same thing, you're not better than he was!"

"But-"

"No. Just stop talking." Lloyd cut him off. "Go read a book. Go for a walk. Violently destroy some training dummies. I don't care what you do, just get. Out." Morro stared at the two in silence for a moment before stepping out and slamming the cell door shut.

"Fine." He locked the door with them both still inside, then stalked out. "But don't come crying to me when he betrays you." With that, he slammed the door shut and stomped off down the hall. Lloyd was a fool. He was naïve and gullible, falling prey to the simplest of his double's tricks. If he didn't get some common sense soon, he was going to get hurt.

Maybe it would teach him a lesson.

I'm pretty sure the entire cast of these stories needs therapy.

Morro TAKE A CHILL PILL GEEZ
