A.N.-Why am I doing this?Anyway most people got ToMORROw's identity correct. This chapter will be mostly filler with some revelations on Liam's ,the other amnesiacs are the Elemental Masters and the ninja and their allies,just so you all know you were and Morro's hair is unnaturally black because he's dyed it... The green streak isn't visible. Do you all like the cover image I've added?
Guest: thank you,I'm glad you like it...also you forgot to put in a name,unless you're a guest reviewer who doesn't use a name...
Bookkeeper2004:(this will be quite sarcastic) yeah,sure,Ok...I'll just go check out your story... Oh,I've just realised that it's one of the many stories that I follow that I'm waiting for an update on because I'VE READ THE ENTIRE THING ALREADY... Sorry about that,will you update it soon? Also,I think it actually inspired this story a bit.
I don't know when I'll next update because I know what I want to do but I don't know how to do it...also I'm waiting for Hunted to finish before I get the story fully underway.
Just a warning: this chapter includes information from season 8,so there will be spoilers from here on out
Oh and there's alot in this chapter that you need to pay attention to,so good luck!

Slither Pit New Ninjago City -just after Tomorrow entered
(A.N. this is the conversation Rick was having with Jim and Kyle)
"So..err...I was wondering if either of you had heard about the so called Masked Gang that apparently has cropped up in the past few months (A.N. just got an idea for a one shot) have you?" Rick asked carefully(you never know who's in gangs and who isn't)
"You mean the one with all the members wearing crazy masks and outfits?" Questioned Kyle
"That's the one" Rick conformed
"They don't hang out round here,no gang does. I think they appreciate that this place is legal and keep away. However,underworld rumours (A.N. by underworld I mean the criminal underworld) about things like that find their way in here every so often" Kyle explained, "From what I've heard,they're just a bunch of strangers who found "Magical masks" that "allow them to see Ninjago as it truly is" and none of the members know each other. Also,whilst they used to claim they have no leader,there have been rumours that a leader is to be "chosen" soon,and supposedly this leader will bare the mask of an emerald dragon, but they also have no idea who it'll be and some members doubt this rumour. They also can't be classed as a gang because they're taking no territory... Liam's made a new friend"(A.N. we have now reached the end of the previous chapter)
The 3 men looked over at the two teenagers,they looked so different,yet so similar at the same time. Then,with no warning whatsoever,Liam practically jumped out of his seat and dashed off to the bathroom. The older teen just looked up,seemed to accept Liam's sudden departure from the table,and went back to whatever it was he was doing on his laptop. This annoyed Rick, but he didn't say anything to the black haired teen. Instead he got off of his stool at the bar and began to walk briskly in the direction of the bathrooms,he was planning on checking if Liam was alright,because after all the kid was his responsibility. However,when he was halfway to the door of the toilets the seated teen spoke up. "I wouldn't do that if I were you."
"Why? He's my ward,why shouldn't I check to see if he's ok?" Demanded Rick,who was wondering why he was even listening to this boy,he'd clearly upset his little brother figure.
"He's just checking something, he'll be back out in a minute,then he'll talk to you,and then I'll explain what I can,the best I can... I'm Tomorrow,by the way. I'm helping Liam figure some stuff out." The boy,Tomorrow supplied.
Sure enough,as soon as Liam exited the loo he made a beeline for Rick, when he reached his soon to be adoptitve father/brother,looking a little bit shocked,Liam asked Rick if they could talk with Tomorrow. At this point Kyle came over to the pair and asked if everything was alright. To which Liam replied that everything was not ok and that him and Jim may as well join them...
And that was how Officer Rick Inconscient found himself sitting next to the kid he was adopting and Nicole's boyfriend,next to Liam was Tomorrow (what kind of a name was that anyway?) who had his laptop out and was inspecting whatever file it was he was looking at in excruciating detail,on the other side of Tomorrow was Kyle... The table was quite small...
The Slither Pit bathrooms,when Liam ran off
Liam burst into the bathroom and immediately ran to the sinks that went from wall to wall,he leaned over the sinks,inspecting his eyes in the mirror that took up the rest of the wall. Liam had ran into the bathroom as soon as Tomorrow had muttered,"it's happening again,Red Eyes."
Liam silently hoped that Rick wouldn't walk in on him inspecting himself in the mirror,he didn't want his future father/brother to think he was obsessed with how he looked. But,just as his new friend had said,his eyes were a shocking crimson...It shouldn't have been possible,his eyes were chocolate brown,not blood red... What was happening to him? He didn't understand why his eyes were changing colour all of a sudden, but for the first time in the 5 months he'd been with Rick,he wished he had his old family with him,the boy welled up with tears at the thought of the family he couldn't remember, then he remembered what Tomorrow had said about there being over two dozen other amnesiacs in Ninjago... The boy dared to hope that his family weren't looking for him because they too didn't remember anything about their past. But if this was true then he should try to find them, a task he couldn't even dream of achieving simply because he had no idea how big his family was,and there was also the fact that he couldn't even remember his own real name,how was he supposed to remember what his family looked like?
Liam grabbed some toilet roll from the nearest cubicle and wiped his eyes... He looked in the mirror and remembered the first time he'd saw his reflection after his shower on his first night at Rick's apartment,he hadn't recognised the blond boy with crazy hair dye and chocolate brown eyes when he'd caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirrors on the doors of the cabinet above the bathroom sink... Now he was looking at the reflection of a boy with slightly longer hair and crimson eyes,he leaned forward to check if his eyes looked bloodshot after his unexpected crying fit,luckily they didn't. Not knowing what else to do,Liam got his phone out and ,using the front facing camera(the one people used to take "selfies" whatever they are) he took a video of himself,he'd put a toilet lid down and sat on it before beginning the video,after about 3 or 4 minutes of filming,Liam realised that his eyes had gone back to their normal brown. He stopped filming with a sigh,got up,walked over to the sink and ran his fingers through his hair that had been messed up when Liam,in his tearful fit of self doubt had gripped his hair and pulled on it,(and despite what Rick and Nicole said,Liam did actually care about his appearance). Once he was satisfied that his hair was okay,he pulled his hood up and left the bathroom,hoping Tomorrow had found something that would explain what was happening to him. But before he could find out,Liam had to explain to Rick about his eye problem, he'd probably let Kyle and James be involved because despite the fact that he'd only met Kyle less than 24 hours ago and had only mey Jim a few hours ago,both guys felt like old friends
The table,Slither Pit bar,New Ninjago City,Now
Tomorrow turned to Liam and asked if he'd like to explain what had happened, Liam nodded and nervously explained how his eyes had turned a deep crimson at least two times. Upon hearing this,Rick informed his young friend about the time yesterday that Rick had dismissed as his imagination at the time. Hearing this seemed to make Liam relax slightly,Kyle believed it because Rick had given more evidence. However Jim wasn't convinced until Tomorrow showed him a picture on his phone and Liam showed him a video on his. Then Tomorrow asked Liam how many of the theories of Ninjago's past he believed, at first it seemed like a slightly random question, but Liam answered honestly, saying he only believed in the relm theory,however he was still on the fence about: the FSM,elemental masters, Garmadon and Wu who were supposedly the sons of the FSM, the Ninja(especially the Green/Gold one),the idea that the ninja were elemental masters and the exsistance of: Dragons, ,androids with emotions and a "Dark Island". But Liam remained open minded when Tomorrow asked him to be becthe ause theory about what the hell is happening to the younger boy only worked if some of these things exsisted.
Tomorrow explained that his theory relied heavily on the exsistance of the relm theory,the FSM's rumoured past,Dragons,Garmadon and Wu,elemental masters and the Ninja (specifically the Green/Gold one). Tomorrow's theory was that Liam's eyes could only be turning red if he were part Oni,which he explained was a demon of destruction from the first relm, but the only way that Liam could be part Oni and not have red eyes the majority of the time was for the Oni blood in him to be diluted with human blood and dragon blood. Tomorrow explained that this would only be possible if Liam was descended from the First Spinjitzu Master,who was supposedly and Oni/Dragon Hybrid from the first relm, and for Liam to have diluted it human blood he had to be the FSM's grandchild or futher down the family tree.
Tomorrow summed up his theory by saying that Liam could possibly be the Green Ninja,or at least a descendent of him.
Liam's room(formerly the spare room),The Inconscient Apartment,New Ninjago City,that night
Liam was getting ready for bed,and was still processing Tomorrow's Theory.
How likely was it?
Either way,it was the only explanation Liam had had about any of his family,leaving him with no choice but to accept the theory. As Liam was getting into bed there was a glint of something shiny out the corner of his eye. Liam approached the desk. When he reached the desk he let out a gasp, then his hand flew to his mouth when he remembered Rick would be in bed by now.
There,in the middle of the desk was something Liam was absolutely certain hadn't been there before. In fact,Liam had never seen it before in his life.
Sitting in the middle of his desk was a beautiful masquerade styled mask in the shape of what appeared to be a dragons face. The thing that made Liam gasp was that it was beautifully designed and painted a metallic green with golden detailing. Liam picked up the mask,moved the lime coloured ribbons attached to either side out of the way and rested the mask on his face. Liam looked up into the mirror that was mounted on the wall above the desk,the mask covered from about Liam's eyebrows to the tip of his nose,leaving his nostrils exposed, Liam thought the Dragon mask made him look a bit like a superhero. Liam also noted that the mask seemed to be custom made for him,because it fitted his face perfectly.
The thing Liam noticed about himself when he'd put the mask on,and this is what frightened and intrigued him the most.
When he had the mask held on his face,Liam's eyes quite literally glowed green...
A.N.- Would you look at that,it's a cliffhanger,who put that there?
that's the longest chapter I've ever done for you people
I most likely won't be posting anything tomorrow because tomorrow is going to be kinda hectic for me. But there's no update schedule anyway,I've just had loads of ideas
I would like to make a HUGE shoutout to Steampunk Wilson,without them I wouldn't have even been able to begin this chapter,let alone end it! Also I would like to thank them for their amazing idea with Liam's internal monologue thing when he's panicking in the bathroom.
Also,why didn't anyone answer my question last chapter?
