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.

15. Walking in his steps

I didn't know where to go from last chapter so let's just say that they all got home safely.

Callista also gave the Ninja info on Lloyd's last whereabouts, so yeah.

I know it's a lot to be missing but I just couldn't do it sorry.

Chapter 15: Walking in his steps

Kai got up and made his bed. All the information that they had gotten about Lloyd, that was going to be useful. His arm was better now and as much as his head hurt it was doing fine.

"Kai, I require you on the main deck." Said Zane, holding the doorway. "Your assistance is needed."

"Right away Zane." He said, grabbing his katana and leaving his room.

Everyone is circled around a map in the centre of the Bounty, chatting and pointing.

"Kai, there you are!" Says Nya, smiling. "We got more info on Lloyd! We even got some locations to check out!"

"That's great! Should we leave now then?"

"No, you're not going anywhere." Says Misako, shaking her head. "Not until your skull fracture is healed anyway. I'll stay with Wu, and the rest of you should split up and try to find Lloyd. Or at least, any traces of him."

"Are you sure? That seems kinda risky." Says Jay, crossing his arms.

"If we spilt up, we'll have a 24% of finding Lloyd, compared to the 6% before. Out of the three locations, I suggest that we spilt into half and leave Kai and Misako here to take care of Wu, and then go to our agreed locations."

"Right, what Zane said." Mumbles Cole.

"Sora, do you think you'd be able to get us here?" Says Skylor, pointing to a city on the map. "What's it called?"

"Uh, sure. That's King Aurelius' Stronghold, it's pretty far from here."

"That's fine, how long do you think it would take for us to get there in the Dragon Cruiser and the Rock Cycle?"

"At least 6 days."

"And what about here?" Asks Zane, his mechanical joints clanking as he points to another spot on the map.

"The River of Fire? Yeah, that's a 2 day walk from here."

"Great. Garmadon, Cole, Jay and I will go there." Says Zane. "The rest of you, go to the Stronghold. Try to get in and out without getting caught, we can't risk anyone finding us."

"I'll stay here too. I can hack into one of the guards there and maybe even get you guys some data."

"Perfect, then we all know what to do. Lloyd can't be far."
