Ninjago: Echoes of the Fall

by Angsty Bag

There was always a hole in their hearts after Lloyd died, so very far away from home. Like a missing puzzle piece that had fallen out of its box and had been kicked under the fridge by accident. But half a decade later, they realise pieces can be found and the Green Ninja can survive almost anything, wherever they forgot about him or not.

12. Prince of Shadows

After Lloyd was taken from the base of the mountain he was put in the dungeons. He finds himself unable to move and choking in pain.

Lloyd looked around. He was in a jail cell, and long ragestone chains that been connected to every part of his body. He winced in pain before trying to get. Where the hell was he? He certainly wasn't on the mountain anymore. A electric shock echoed through his body and he screamed in pain. A person stood outside his door, smiling wickedly as a thin layer of smoke started rising from Lloyd's skin.

"You aren't going anywhere." They said.

"What the hell do you want from me? And where am I?"

"Well that's simple. I want you to come and work for me. And you're in the City of Echoes."

"Pretty uncreative if you ask me."

"Realm of Echoes, City of Echoes, it all fits into one piece beautiful picture. You however…" They shocked him again, and Lloyd screamed as every nerve of his body was set alight. "You don't fit here. You aren't even human."

"I'm half human!"

"And what else are you?!" They hissed, grabbing onto the barred window on the door. "You…you're a filthy Oniborn! You deserve to be sent to the Cursed Realm for all eternity!"

Lloyd sat silently.

"But, if you work under me, you'll be something better. Something the Ninja could never make you! You could save everyone, and make everyone happy! Isn't that what you want?"

Lloyd stayed silent.

"C'mon, it's better then being rat food here isn't it?"

"I will never, go with you. I don't even know who you are."

"Prince Sol, of Echoes."

"Tch, what a lovely title." Said Lloyd, rolling his eyes. Prince Sol pressed a button on his remote and Lloyd was shocked once again.

"You're so very undignified for a prince yourself."

"Prince? Sorry, I think you got the wrong person."

"No I don't." Prince Sol leaned forward, pressing his face through the door.

"You…you're the son of Garmadon. He was the king of shadows, so that makes you-"

"I am nothing like my father!" Screamed Lloyd, throwing dirt at the door. Prince Sol stumbled backed in panic.

"Feisty are we? Well, I'm sure we'll knock that right out once you've gotten used to things around here. Goodbye for now your majesty."
