Here's a snippet of I don't even know anymore.
"The Master of Wind, we meet again," Lloyd sneered.
Morro fiddled with his gloves. "What's with villains and their stupid dramatic words? It's really annoying, y'know."
"I don't suppose you would make a better one."
He rolled his eyes. "Please, there's no way I'd ever want to be a villain. Just watching you fail is entertainment enough."
"You're already speaking like one," Lloyd pointed out, tracing the vengestone bars with a smile.
"Excuse me for not being a goody-goody two shoes that tries to save everyone." Morro pulled up a chair carefully, sitting in front of Lloyd with a critical eye. "I know who deserves to rot in jail where they belong. Second chances are overrated. Just like your father."
"Just like your Sensei," Lloyd snapped at the mention of Garmadon, who had ended up staying good instead of evil.
The other breathed. "Wu was never anything to me. I was just an orphan he used for his own gain. When I wasn't the destined green ninja he threw me away like a broken toy. Told me I was worthless and unless I could prove myself worthy of the green gi, couldn't come back."
Lloyd sat forward, barring his sharp teeth as his red eyes glinted. "Sounds like a tragic villain's backstory to me, now doesn't it? Why don't you join me? We can make the world better. Fix all the problems."
"The only problem here is you, green ninja. You and your little friends and your teacher. That's all I care about, getting rid of you."
The blond crossing his arms. "You said you don't believe in second chances. Well, I do. You don't have to be running around saving people, put under the pressure of being a hero. We can help you."
Morro scoffed. "Look who's acting like a hero now." He leaned on the bars. "I'd say we'd probably do well if the roles were reversed, but you know I'm hell-bent on protecting this city. These streets raised me and I'm never gonna give them up to you and your little fan club. So why don't you go and find another sandbox to play in, kiddo?"
Lloyd clenched his teeth. "I'll stop you and your pathetic attempts at helping this place."
The raven-haired teen tiled his head, before turning away. "Our base is secure. You're not getting out. I have an army on my side. What do you have, ninja?" He smiled. "I don't quite think your elemental masters can stop thousands of snakes, nindriods, and ghosts. And don't you know something. The good guys always win, Lloyd Garmadon. So I hope you find a way to beat destiny."
