Chapter 2:
Lilly sat on the cough, curled up in the corner, hugging a pillow when Lloyd walked in,
"Hey Lil." Lloyd stated. Lilly sat up instantly,
"Hey." Lilly replied,
"Did I scare you?" Lloyd asked, seeing his sister's reaction,
"Me…scared? Ha!" Lilly replied but Lloyd raised an eyebrow, "You just…startled me." Lilly corrected,
"You don't have to act tough around here you know." Lloyd reminded, "What's wrong?" Lloyd asked. Lilly remained quiet as Lloyd placed a hand on Lilly's shoulder. Lilly let out a sigh before,
"Everything's so different now. We got kicked out of Darkley's, got separated, dad came back to defeat the great devourer, dad disappearing again, being on my own and now, finding out you're all grown up without me." Lilly admitted, tears in her eyes. Lloyd wrapped his arms around his sister, who allowed it as she curled up to Lloyd, "Don't go again please." Lilly muttered,
"Promise." Lloyd replied. They then noticed a flash and looked to see Kai, taking a photo on his phone,
"Did I leave the flash on?" Kai questioned,
"Delete it!" Lilly demanded,
"Nah. It's too cute." Kai stated as he winked at Lloyd who blushed. Lilly noticed this exchange,
"Are you 2 dating?" Lilly asked,
"Yeah." Lloyd admitted,
"Well I was the only girl you like to hang with so you'd never make it anywhere with a girl." Lilly stated. Lloyd and Kai's jaws dropped at the burn,
"I am so glad I was recording." Kai admitted,
"You're recording?" Lloyd asked as he threw a pillow at Kai.
At dinner, everyone was serving themselves and Lilly was about to grab some salad when Lloyd stopped her,
"Hey!" Lilly scolded,
"That's chestnut salad." Lloyd simply stated,
"Oh." Lilly rolled her eyes and grabbed some roasted veggies instead,
"1, she actually eats veggies? And 2, why can't she eat the salad? It's great?" Cole asked,
"1, we're opposites and 2, I die if I eat nuts." Lilly explained,
"Allergy?" Zane asked,
"Yeah. Last time I ate a nut, I had to stay in hospital for a week." Lilly explained.
((Time skip a cos I don't know what to write))
Lilly was walking around the temple, she really gotten to know the others and had learnt so much,
"Hey Nya." Lilly greeted,
"Hey." Nya replied. Lilly was about to turn the corner when, "Hold up." Nya stated as she rushed over to Lilly,
"What?" Lilly asked. Nya looked at Lilly's eyes, "What?" Lilly asked again,
"Nothing. I just thought I saw something." Nya replied and walked to the control room, "Lloyd." Nya stated,
"What's up?" Lloyd replied,
"I think something's wrong with Lilly?" Nya stated,
"What makes you say that?" Lloyd asked, Zane and Pixal tuning in,
"Well she has…" Nya started when they heard a high-pitched scream,
"Lilly!" Lloyd called as he rushed out of the control room, with the other 3 hot on his heels, to the games room where Lilly was being held in the air by a shadow,
"Lloyd!" Lilly screamed,
"Calm!" Wu called,
"What?" Lloyd asked,
"Lilly calm!" Wu replied,
"Lilly listen to me, you need to calm down!" Lloyd called,
"What?" Lilly replied,
"Calm down." Lloyd repeated,
"How?" Lilly asked. Lloyd ran through all his memorises when 1 hit him,
"Remember prank 105?" Lloyd asked,
"You promised never to talk about that!" Lilly replied,
"Just go over what I told you to do then!" Lloyd instructed,
"That was different!" Lilly stated,
"If you focus, that detail won't matter!" Lloyd replied. Lilly closed her eyes for a minuet,
"It's not working!" Lilly stated,
"Lloyd are you sure we shouldn't be helping?" Kai asked,
"She has this. Relax! You're focusing on your situation!" Lloyd explained,
"I don't want to get hit in the head!" Lilly replied,
"You won't! Now only focus on what I told you!" Lloyd instructed. Lilly closed her eyes again and after a bit, the shadow placed Lilly on the floor. Lloyd rushed over to his sister, "Are you ok?" Lloyd asked,
"I think. What was that?" Lilly asked,
"I don't know." Lloyd replied, "Did something happen before the shadow came?" Lloyd asked,
"Yeah. I was walking here when Nya said she saw something so when I got here, I looked in the mirror and saw that…" Lilly trailed off,
"That?" Lloyd asked when he noticed something. Lloyd moved Lilly's head so he could look at her eyes when,
"They're still red aren't they?" Lilly asked. Lloyd saw that the outlines of Lilly's irises were red, "And don't lie to me." She added
"Just the outline." Lloyd admitted,
"What's happening Lloyd?" Lilly asked, tears pricking her eyes. Lloyd noticed as Lilly got upset, the shadows in the room began to move,
"Lilly, I don't know but I need you to stay calm." Lloyd stated,
"Why?" Lilly asked,
"If I tell you you'll freak." Lloyd explained,
"Why?" Lilly asked when Wu looked like he had an idea. Wu ran over to Lilly,
"Garmadon." Wu stated as he placed a tiny hand on Lilly,
"What?" Lilly asked,
"Oni." Wu stated, hand still on Lilly,
"What's an oni?" Lilly asked,
"Misako. Dragon." Wu stated, moving his hand onto Lloyd. Lloyd took a second to process this, when he got it,
"Were opposite." Lloyd murmured, Wu nodded,
"What does that have to do with this?" Lilly asked,
"I'll explain outside." Lloyd stated as he led Lilly outside.
Lloyd and Lilly sat outside in the sunlight,
"Why are we outside?" Lilly asked,
"Because after all that excitement you could use some fresh air." Lloyd explained,
"Ok so what does use being opposite have to do with what happened inside?" Lilly asked,
"You know how Wu point to you with oni and to be with dragon?" Lloyd asked and Lilly nodded. Lloyd then explained the story on the oni, the dragon and the 1st spinjitzu master,
"Ok. So what does that have to do with us now?" Lilly asked as Cole walked Wu to them,
"What's up Cole?" Lloyd asked,
"Wu wanted to come to you guys." Cole explained as Wu sat next to the 2,
"Ok. So as you were saying?" Lilly asked, wanting answers,
"I think he was saying that you inherited more of dad's oni genes and inherited more of dad's dragon genes." Lloyd explained and Wu nodded,
"Ok but how does that relate to in there and mum?" Lilly asked,
"The oni is darkness like shadows and dragons are light and I think Wu used mum as an example of goodness." Lloyd explained and Wu nodded. Lilly took a moment to process all the new information,
"So we are really opposites." Lilly mumbled,
"Yeah." Lloyd agreed,
"Lloyd, Cole, Nya and Kai wish to speak to you in the control room." Zane informed,
"Ok. Do you want to come Lilly?" Lloyd asked,
"No thanks Lloyd. I want to be alone for a bit." Lilly replied,
"Ok. I'll check in after." Lloyd stated as he stood up. Lloyd, Cole and Wu went inside and Lilly sat in the sunshine. She didn't usually like sunshine but recently she has been finding it relaxing,
'So why am I the dark one? What does this mean? Does this mean I have to be like dad?' Lilly though, getting more and more scared with each thought when she heard footsteps. Lilly turned to see Misako walking towards her,
"What are you doing here?" Lilly asked, looking back out to the edge of the floating chunk of land,
"Lloyd told me everything and I came to see if there's anything I could do." Misako explained,
"There's nothing you can do." Lilly replied, "But thanks anyway." She mumbled, not wanting Misako to hear, but she did,
"Well if there's anything you want me to do, tell me. Ok?" Misako offered,
"There is 1 thing?" Lilly stated,
"Yes?" Misako asked,
"Why did you leave us?" Lilly asked,
"Well, at the time, I was doing some research that was pretty dangerous but I couldn't let it go and it meant I couldn't take you 2 with me. So with the absence of your father and your uncle busy with keeping Ninjago safe, the only other option I had left was to leave you both at Darkley's, but I've regrated it ever since." Misako explained, tearing up at the memories,
"What was the research and why couldn't you drop it?" Lilly asked,
"The green ninja and if I could find what I needed, your brother and your father wouldn't of had to fight." Misako explained. Lilly thought about this for a minuet and saw tears in her mother's eyes, then, Lilly hugged Misako. Misako took a moment what Lilly was doing and returned the hug, "I'm sorry I couldn't look after you for all those years." Misako apologised,
"I forgive you." Lilly replied. The 2 girls separated as Kai walked up to them, "That was fast." Lilly commented,
"What was fast?" Misako asked,
"Zane came out earlier and told Lloyd and Cole that Nya and Kai wanted to talk to them." Lilly explained,
"Yeah it was quick." Kai replied. Lilly started to get suspicious,
"As long as nothing bad happened other than earlier." Misako stated,
"What happened earlier?" Kai asked,
"I choked." Lilly quickly replied,
"Oh, as long as you're ok now. Chocolate?" Kai offered, pulling out a box full of chocolates that any other kid would've died for. Lilly smacked the box out of Kai's hand and pushed her mother back,
"What?" Kai asked,
"YOU'RE A FAKE!" Lilly shouted as Misako put her arm in front of Lilly. The fake Kai glitched until it was revealed to be Mr E from the bike gang, Sons of Garmadon. Mr E was about to attack when he got frozen to the ground. The girls looked to see Skylor, fists already on fire before hitting Mr E with a fireball which sent him over the side. Skylor rushed over to see and small plane flying away with Mr E on the wing,
"Are you 2 ok?" Skylor asked,
"Yes thank you Skylor." Misako replied,
"So you're Skylor. Kai's girlfriend right?" Lilly asked,
"Yes, and you are?" Skylor asked,
"I'm Lloyd's twin, well technically now I'm his little sister thanks to tomorrow's tea." Lilly explained,
"Makes sense. Where are the others?" Skylor asked,
"They were inside." Lilly pointed out. The 3 rushed inside,
"Do you where inside?" Misako asked,
"Zane said they were wanted in the control room." Lilly replied. They headed to the control room to see that it was blocked off with some sort of metal,
"Guys?" Skylor asked,
"Skylor! It's shut with vengestone!" Kai replied,
"Pfth. I got this." Lilly stated. Lilly climbed up the near by bookcase like a ladder until she was on top of it, then she pushed on the roof and a square of it lifted off and she moved it to the side before climbing into it. She crawled a few steps before lifting another square from the roof and moved it the side before looking down at the others,
"You lot can make it up here right?" Lilly asked casually,
"Yeah." Jay replied,
"Good. I'll wait in here so I can close the gaps." Lilly explained. The others climbed through the gap and let themselves down out the other one before Lilly put the roof gaps back where they were before she let herself down onto the bookshelf, placed the roof back to normal and was about to climb down when a cheeky smirk spreaded across her face,
"Hey Lloyd." Lilly called as Lloyd looked up at her, "Trust fall!" she announced as she launched herself off the top of the bookcase. Lloyd caught her,
"You shouldn't do that." Lloyd warned,
"Pfth. We both know I've done worst." Lilly replied,
"What?" Misako asked,
"Nothing." Lloyd and Lilly replied at the same time.
