Okay, okay, s o -
What if one plopped the dear ol Green bean (Lloyd) into Sifu?
For example, let's say Lloyd is still a kid and he's being raised by a crime boss; the one and only Garmadon!
Wu has gathered the Elemental Masters of Earth, Lightning, Ice, Fire, and Water. They all make their way over to Garmadon and try to defeat him (still debating on whether or not Morro could be in this).
During the battle, something happens and it causes Lloyd to die. Maybe he accidentally got caught in something? Maybe a blast?
So, Lloyd gets caught in something and dies! :D But the power of Green revives him (not everyone dies when they are killed)!
HEADCANON: Lloyd's power is related to life. All living things require energy to live. Also, he's green, the color that symbolizes life (not in the Departed Realm pfft-).
So, lets say the blast or whatever makes the building they're in crumble. Wu and the gang leave so they won't get caught in it.
When Lloyd eventually revives he rushes to his father to see if he's okay butt (I'm so immature-) Garmadon's body is all mangled. See, Lloyd's Green isn't all powerful. The element comes with risks and it can't heal everything. The state Garmadon's body was in would cause problems; if he were to be revived, he'd just die again. For example, if someone's body was sliced in half.
Lloyd tries to revive his father anyway, but it doesn't work. Whether that's because he can't automatically control his death defying powers or the state his father's body is in, idk. I think it would be a little bit of both.
So... Lloyd's dad is dead! :D
Fast forward to Wu and the gang coming back to the destruction to see if they could find Lloyd. They don't see him, though, and assume he's dead.
Aaaaaaand we time skip once again to the future with an older Lloyd, who has more mastery over Green.
I'm thinking Lloyd probably wants to kill the ninja and Wu for killing his father. Because 1) they killed his father. 2) Because Lloyd was raised by a crime boss, he'd probably be more prone to doing morally, uh.. dark (?) things. 3) *Insert more backstory for Lloyd so the readers can be more sympathetic or empathetic*-
NOTE: The idea of Lloyd hunting down the ninja is intriguing. But it's even more interesting if he already knows them. Why? Because the other ninja will be shocked and hurt by his true intentions. Idk whether or not he'll get to know them and then betray them in this scenario. Pulling a Harumi is also interesting, but Lloyd was raised by Garmadon. I feel like Garmadon's style is more of uh... you-made-me-mad-so-I'll kill-you- Then again, Lloyd isn't Garmadon, but he was raised by him. Hm... what about a charming mixture of both revenge styles?
So, let's say Lloyd's first victim is Jay! He beats the Master of Lightning down, but doesn't kill him immediately. Once Jay is down, in big pain, and less likely to get up, Lloyd uses Green.
Lloyd sucks all the energy out of Jay! :D Having your life being sucked out of you must feel beyond painful. I can imagine the room lighting up in blue and green as Jay cries out in pain. The surrounding area is being destroyed due to Jay's power becoming erratic!-
But one thing Lloyd doesn't know is that there's a perk to sucking the life force of an elemental master. :DDDDDDDDDD He gains Jay's element! *Insert party popper gif here*
I imagine this scene where the ninjas are watching a video recording of the room Lloyd was in when he killed Jay. As Lloyd violently sucks Jay's life, the feed buzzes in, and out but eventually stills itself. After Lloyd kills Jay, he looks up at the camera, but right before they can see his face the feed buzzes out because of his new powers uh... being powers-
I know, I know, that's cliché- Still cool tho-
HEADCANON: I noticed that we've seen almost all the ninja manipulate their elements. For example, Kai can manipulate fire and Nya can do the same with water. But what about Lloyd? I don't think I've seen him move energy before. So I figured just like how Kai took that dragon's green fire in the Virtues of Spinjitsu, Lloyd could suck the energy and life out of things. Or he could give life and energy.
NOTE: I imagine Jay's lightning being blue, but as it's transferring to Lloyd it becomes green.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention something. What if Jay can be brought back to lifu? I think Wu, being ass (I'm so immature-) all-knowing as always, may be the one to tell the ninja that Jay could be brought back. Buuuuuuuuuut... Lloyd would have to return Jay's life force...
Yeaaaaahhh, I think you're s out of luck on that one- BUT that opens up a potential reason for the Elemental Masters to hunt Lloyd (besides the fact that he killed Jay, ooof). The ninja and Lloyd end up crossing paths or something. Oh, and they're prepared for when Lloyd comes.
I feel like Lloyd would prefer to get each of them alone. I'm not saying he couldn't handle more than one at a time, though. I'm pretty sure he could. Buuuuuuuuuut having an audience that can't do anything about their friend dying doesn't sound bad either.
BONUS: I actually have another concept where I imagine what the ninja would be like if they stayed with Asspheera's staff for too long instead of Zane. That's where I first came up with the idea of Lloyd sucking energy. Imagine him sucking the energy out of everything in Ninjago, becoming more powerful because of that, and traveling to other realms to get more power once he drains the previous one. I even imagined him trying to take energy from the sun, the f*cking sun- lmao- Idk why. I kinda feel like a Staff!Lloyd would become super power hungry.
BONUS: This takes place when Lloyd isn't an adult, but he isn't a kid either. He's roaming the streets of Ninjago when he comes across an alley. He hears mewling and decides to follow the sound. What he finds is a fatally wounded kitten. He chooses to heal it and takes it in. Lloyd now has a new buddy!
One of the reasons why I love this idea is that it shows Lloyd still has some good in him. Also, it's just plain adorable.
Originally, I spaced out the word "green" but for some reason, on the website, spaced out words don't appear correctly. It was supposed to be a funny reference to the movie, but oh well. ToT
