SPOILER WARNINGS:
SEASON 8 SPOILERS (KIND OF)
CRYSTALIZED SPOILERS
The first time that I 'unleashed' my Oni side, was when Harumi told me that my friends had died (It turns out they didn't). It felt… odd.
Nothing remotely like it had ever happened before. Harumi just… got on my nerves a bit too much, and I let go of some of my anger. I felt more powerful than ever before. I also seemed to use purple energy. It was a lilac color. I realized that it resembled the power my father used.
I was using my Oni side. I remember thinking.
I stopped myself from going any further, afraid of what I had done.
It felt like Harumi had awakened something hiding deep inside of me.
I haven't told anyone about that experience, and I hope that nobody ever finds out. After all, wouldn't they be afraid of me? I don't want that to happen…
It feels horribly wrong to hide this important information but I guess it must be done.
The second time was when Garmadon was trying to get me to unleash my Oni power so that we could defeat the overlord. But, it didn't work…
Not because I couldn't, no.
But because I was holding back, I didn't want to show that side of me. After all, aren't all Onis horrible and evil?
And I'm the green ninja, a symbol of hope and peace. So I don't want to succumb to the anger inside of myself that I have been holding back for years.
But then, Garmadon brought up Harumi. His 'adopted child'. Many memories arose at that moment, the most prominent one being when I fought him alone... when he stated that he had no son. I remembered the sadness, the feeling of not being enough…
The feeling of grief for my old father who was now dead.
At that moment, I felt power, surging through my veins.
I was so caught up in my emotions that I didn't realize what was happening until my friends pointed out that my hands had a purple aura surrounding them. They seemed concerned. I shook it off, I didn't want my friends to see me like that…
I didn't want to seem like Garmadon.
And then there was this one time…
While fighting the crystal king, I thought that Garmadon had died (it turns out it was a ploy to get me to transform). I let it… break free
I let my emotions run free.
I transformed into a golden Oni. I couldn't hold back, there's only so much you can bottle up and hide… right?
It felt… refreshing. To… let go and unleash it.
But then, upon seeing my reflection I got scared of what I had become. Of how much I looked like my father. Of what my friends would think. I was a four-armed freak.
I knew that I had this inside of me, but I didn't want the entire world to see
I haven't told anyone about this, but my father knows. And so does Harumi. I don't know if they've told anyone, but I hope not.
