I am so sorry it took me so long to update. I had a lot of exams in school that I had to study for. Luckily, I got good grades so I can update more again. (Hopefully). Originally, I had planned to update during the holidays but then my Laptop broke and when it was fixed Internet didn't work. So I had the chapter, but no way to update it. I'm so sorry guys. I really hope you like this chapter. It's a little shorter than the others but I hope you'll like it.

Lloyd watched as Morro flew away on his dragon. Hitting him would be easy, but where was the fun in that? Someone had to deliver the message, right?

The blond looked around the crumbled town. Everything looked different now. It was as if his eyes were working in a different way. And how wonderful it looked. He was surprised at how he was unable to see it before. Chaos and destruction could look so beautiful. For the first time he understood all those villains he had faced.

How right they were to try and form Ninjago into their own image. Well, this was his image. The one his father failed to create. The one not even the overlord could form. No, this one was his and his alone. No one would take it away from him.

Slowly he began making his way back to his castle, looking at his new kingdom. There were still a few things he had to change. First, he needed a queen. Everyone needed one, right? Second, he had to get rid of the ninja and his family. Maybe let those live who were ready to follow him.

He would think about more when the time came, but for now he just enjoyed the silence of the once joyful city.

Just for fun, he tested his new powers. The once green light was now a shining but dark shade of purple. It had almost the color he wanted. Black would be better. Maybe if he trained it enough and concentrated it would work. But for now, he had to live with it.

Finally, he reached the castle. The entrance opened and he walked inside. This time it felt right to be there. Arriving there with Morro had been weird and uncomfortable. Now, it felt more like home than anything else. Of course now, he was different. Yes, it was manipulation, but by now he was fine with it. The blond had never felt so powerful in his entire life. Not even the golden power could match it.

Lloyd walked down the path to his throne room and sat down. Ah yes, the golden power. He had to stop the others soon if he wanted to keep his kingdom. They, after all, were trying to give him his golden power back to 'save him', but he could see the truth now.

All they wanted was for him to work for them to save Ninjago from all those villains. But he was having none of it. This was HIS kingdom now. Nothing would stand in his way.

And he was determined to destroy every single thread he saw.

The second Morro crossed the borders of the monastery walls, his dragon disappeared, leaving him falling to the ground. His whole body hurt and for a second there he missed being a ghost. They don't feel pain.

He forced himself onto his back, breathing heavily. The large wound on his arm hurt like hell, but he had a feeling things would get much worse. He shouldn't have allowed Kai to beat him up, if he came back without the blond teen.

But why? Why did it go so fast all of the sudden? Lloyd had said it had been a few days since the incident and it was fine. But then, within seconds, time seemed to be against them and just claimed him.

He stared into the sky when a familiar face came into view. Morro blinked a few times, trying to focus his vision. Wu. His dragon must've roared for the others to come before it had disappeared.

He looked worried as he kneeled down beside him, looking at the large wound on his arm. He lifted it lightly, earning a hiss from the wind master. God, that hurt like hell. It burned and stung like thousands of tiny needles pinching into his skin at the same time.

Then he noticed the others behind him. Nya stepped forward. He remembered that she was kind of a healer in the team. Used her water to clean wounds. So she did. The small amount of water that appeared in her hand was enough to cleanse the wound.

When she touched his arm, he had to bite his tongue to stop himself from screaming in pain. Eyes clenching shut. Nya worked fast and took her hand away as quickly as she could. It wasn't healed, but at least it was clean now.

"Morro what happened? Where is Lloyd?" Wu asked, after seeing his student on the verge of passing out. The old master didn't want it to look like he only cared for Lloyd, but he needed to know now, before they all had to wait for hours ´till he woke up again.

The wind master took a deep breath, shuddering a little while he did. The thought of Lloyd doing something so cruel was unbelievable. It was weird and wrong in so many ways. He had seen inside the teens head once, and yes, he saw what Lloyd did as a child. Being honest, he could remember using it against him to get the blond to help him. Thinking back, he regretted it. The pure defiance in those green eyes was astounding and nothing could break this look.

He took his time to answer but ignored Wu right away. Instead he looked over to Kai. "I think I owe you a promise" he chuckled.

The brunet took a deep breath. His promise to allow himself to get beaten up if he didn't come back with Lloyd. If Lloyd lost against the poison before they could help him. For once though. He held his temper back. In his eyes, the other had already gotten enough for now.

Reaching inside his Gi, Morro pulled out the pieces of the realm crystal.

"You got the crystal! We can still win this" Jay cheered.

"Not really. Lloyd got the last piece. Without it, we have no cure" the wind master explained. Cole cursed.

"Then we have no choice but to fight" Wu sighed.

Garmadon looked over at his brother, along with Misako. "I will not attack my own child. Not again" he said.

"I don't like it either brother, but what choice do we have?"

"Do we really have to fight?" Everyone turned around to look at Harumi. She was standing behind everyone else, observing everything.

"I mean we just need the last piece, right? Maybe we can sneak in and get it or something" she suggested.

This time, Kai didn't care holding back. "There is no ´we´. There is just us. The only reason you are here is because of the stupid flower. I don't trust you one bit" he hissed.

Harumi looked surprised. She shouldn't be though. She hadn't expected them to trust her, and Kai was apparently smart enough not to.

Cole crossed his arms. "I don't trust her either, but she's right. We need the whole crystal to help Lloyd. There is no way though that we can get in. Lloyd will probably have informed them about us by now."

Zane nodded. "Indeed. The chance of us getting in and remaining unnoticed is almost zero."

"Then what do we do?" Nya asked.

"For now, all we can do is make a plan. Morro's wound needs to be wrapped up before it gets infected. Then we wait. All of us should get some sleep. It's been some tough days" Wu said.

Kai narrowed his eyes. Wait? He couldn't wait anymore. He had waited enough. Lloyd was turning into something fate had already decided he wasn't. And that was a long time ago. Probably even before he was born. His history showed how bad he was at being evil. And now some blood was supposed to change that? Oh no!

"I have waited enough! I refuse to wait for one more day. He needs out help now, not tomorrow!" he yelled.

Wu sighed. "Tomorrow is a new day. A day where we can make better decisions. As much as it pains us all, we have to be patient now. We don't know what Lloyd is capable of right now."

"Capable of?" Jay yelped.

Cole joined in. "This is Lloyd we're talking about. He could never hurt a fly. I have never seen him hurt anyone if there was another way."

"That is not Lloyd anymore" Garmadon said. "It is a being created with Oni blood and magic. There is a reason that Partlings are dangerous, especially when the wrong side wins. For the Oni, it is good but for us…" he trailed off.

"How bad can it get?" Morro asked. He had stood up, leaning against a wall.

"By the amount of power Lloyd is able to have access to now…. Winning against the overlord would be easier."

So there we go the new chapter. Like I said I will try to update more, o n the condition that everything works. Until next time

Bye
