"I guess it's a good thing Kai started teaching Lloyd how to fight." Jay joked quietly, trying to lighten the mood, as everyone was staring worriedly at Lloyd

"Jay, not a good time." Kai mumbled

"What..." Lloyd started "What does that mean?"

"What does what mean little guy."

"What's the green ninja? I am I the green ninja? What does that even mean." Lloyd's eyes filled with tears "Am I gonna die? Is someone gonna kill me? What's gonna happen? Do I have to fight someone?"

"Hey, hey, buddy calm down, you're gonna be okay." Kai tried to calm the small boy down

"Yeah, everything's going to be fine." Nya agreed as she sat on her knees next to Lloyd "No one's gonna harm you, not while I'm around."

The ninja, Nya, and Wu all sat for around fifteen minutes trying to calm the tiny blond down, but nothing would work. He was scared. I would be too if I found out I was something I didn't even know existed. The ninja slowly left the room, one by one until only Kai, Nya, and Wu were left sitting with Lloyd. "Uncle?" Lloyd began quietly, his were eyes pink, and his face was tear-stained

"Yes Nephew?" Wu answered

"What's gonna happen?"

Wu stared at his nephew, not sure how to answer. How do you tell a ten year old that he'll have to fight his own father?

———

"They said oh, teenagers scare the livin'-" A radio played just before a door flew open in the Ninja's room "Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me!"

"Cole!" Wu yelled

"Yes sensei?" Cole asked

"My nephew is ten, he doesn't need to hear that profanity!"

"W...What profanity?" Cole acted clueless

"TEENAGERS SCARE THE LIVIN' SHIT OUTTA ME! THEY COULD CARE LESS AS LONG AS SOMEONE'LL BLEED-" the radio blared as Lloyd poked his head into the room

"Oh, that... That profanity..."

"Holy shit turn that down Cole, geez." Lloyd said before he left

Wu stares at Lloyd as the tiny blond walked away "Look what you taught him!" The old man exclaimed angrily, not seeing Kai hand Lloyd ten bucks

There was a scream from the kitchen. "Nya?!" Kai exclaimed

"Nah I'm right here, that sounded more like Jay." Nya yawned as she walked out of the restroom. She paused for a second "Is someone gonna go check on him?"

Everyone rushed to the kitchen. "Stay close Lloyd, if there's real danger, we don't want you getting hurt." Kai spoke

"Hey, he probably just dropped a knife on his foot again." Cole shrugged as he rushed towards the kitchen so Wu couldn't scold him

The group arrived at the kitchen, and Kai peeked in. "Okay, no one panic, there's a serpentine, and Jay won't stop screaming."

Lloyd looked into the kitchen. "Oh hey it's Scales."
