"Again!"

"Hai!"

"Again!"

"Hai!"

"Again!"

Lloyd stares blankly at the room's door, hoping that something happens. Something to get his mind off of his boredom. It's been days since he's been outside of his cell. Weeks since he's seen the outside world and his family.Spinjitzu... This is boring... Who knew being a captive would be so boring... I wonder when I'm finally going to be freed.

The only thing she got for entertainment was a stick, so he's been drawing on the ground random things. Eventually, though, he hears some heavy footsteps scurrying outside of the room. "They must've found another Fangblade if this is happening again..."

A loud bang hits the door causing it to slam open, frightening the young boy. A snake falls into the room before getting back up and running out of the room. "If they found it then it's gotta mean that the Ninja is soon to follow! You have to go with them just like last time... How did I convince Pythor last time?!"

What would Y/n do?! I take a breath. Calm down. That's the first step, right? So just calm and try to remember.

"Uh! Hello! Someone get me Pythor! Please!"

After some time of shouting out to the snakes, somehow, someone hears him and the purple snake slithers in. "What do you want now boy? Don't you see I'm busy! I'm currently planning the next raid to get the Fangblade!"

He gulps nervously, trying to get his head straight. "W-W-Well you should bring me along! You m-m-might need me like last time!"

Pythor sighs in frustration, holding his head. "Fine! We'll take you along so you can quit your whining!"

Lloyd smiles brightly, knowing his plan worked. "I-I-I okay! Uh right!"

The snake rolls his eyes before slithering out and slamming the door shut, leaving the child in the room alone again.

"I-I did it! I'm going with them!"

His eyes widen, having flashbacks to the last time he went with them. "I'm going with them..."

~

Ever since the trip to the flower field, we haven't talked much about it. We took time to let me get my emotions out about everything and explain everything I saw, but... The fact that I was friends with the First Spinjitzu Master is... I was alive thousands of years ago... I died... I- Stop it Y/n! Not right now! We have to get the Fangblade! That's what's most important right now!

I watch my brothers carefully, training ever so diligently to make sure the snakes don't overtake them. We have to get at least one Fangblade to stop the awakening of the Great Devourer. Just one. And save to save Lloyd as well from this crazy life.

Ever since Sensei left, I had to uptake the training sessions without forgetting my own. But, with everything going on, it's not been easy. At least everyone, including Nya, is training hard to make sure we get one and making it easy on me.

Well, all except one.

Kai.

Wherever he is, he's going to be cleaning the entire deck for missing this.

I soon stop them and smile at them. "You all did well! Your powers are getting stronger and so are you! Sensei Wu would be proud of us."

They breathe heavily, taking off their masks and drinking from their water bottles. Zane smiles. "Thank you, Y/n. But where is Kai? Isn't he supposed to be here to train as well?"

I sigh. "He is, but I think I have an idea where he is."

~

We all walk to Sensei's room, knowing full well he's going to be there and trying on that gi. After all, he's still obsessed with becoming the Green Ninja for some reason. We stop ourselves from going inside, standing by the doorway, and looking at Kai do some interesting things.

"I'm going to smack him."

"Do it, I'll pay you five coins."

"Uh please don't do that, Y/n. And don't encourage her Cole."

Before Zane says anything else, Kai starts shouting the craziest things.

"Fire Punch! Unlock Fire! Uh, Fire go! Shoot flames! Oh, come on. Everyone else can do it. So can you. Bring the heat!"

We couldn't hold it anymore, we just burst out laughing. Kai gets startled by our laughter and looks at us panicked.

"Very nice. Perhaps if you tried the phrase "Fire dork," maybe it might work." Cole says as we enter Sensei's room.

Kai takes off the mask, his voice squeaking. "How long have you all been watching?'

"Long enough to see you acting like a dork," I say to him while trying to hold back my laughter.

Jay circles Kai, staring at the Green Gi in awe. "The suit. That's awesome!"

"W-Well, I was looking for some kind of clue from Sensei about my true potential and then I-I found this."

"You can't be wearing that though. The person hasn't been revealed."

"And you know only he who is foretold to face is destined to be the Green Ninja, and only he should wear the Green Ninja outfit. So Sensei would most likely be very—"

Kai quickly interrupts Zane. "I know, I know. But I thought if I just tried it on, it might help me see my true potential. It's not fair that you guys have unlocked your cool powers and I still haven't. Besides, Sensei's gone and we don't know when he's coming back —"

His rant is interrupted when we hear a door open, leaving us in confusion.

"Who could that be?" I ask.

"Hello? I'm home." A familiar voice calls out.

Our eyes widen in realization, smiles gracing our faces.

"Sensei!" We all shout out in excitement, besides Kai who is freaking out.

We start running to go greet him after him being gone for so long when I stop myself. What will Sensei think about me if I tell him?... What's going to happen if I tell him I was alive thousands of years ago and was friends with his father?!... Can I even tell him?...

Kai runs past me, trying to catch up with everyone to greet Sensei. Get yourself together Y/n. Things won't change. Hopefully. I shake my head, shake away my thoughts and follow behind him.

"Hey! Wait up!"

We run up onto the deck, hearing Sensei ask about us. " But, where is Kai? And Y/n?"

We pant loudly, holding our chests. "Right here. We're so glad you're back safe."

I go up and hug him tightly. "Thank Spinjitzu you're finally back! You've been gone too long! You left me alone with my brothers! At least Nya was there for me."

Sensei Wu chuckles but I hear a deeper chuckle coming from behind him. I look behind him as my eyes widen in horror.

Garmadon.

Everyone panics as they struggle to figure out what to do, one protecting Sensei, and the others trying to separate the two.

I let go of Sensei and quickly pull out my fans, pointing them at him. "It's Garmadon! I didn't think the final battle would happen so soon!"

Kai glares at Garmadon, getting into a fighting stance. "Ugh! He's got four arms."

"So we meet again," He says smirking.

"He must've followed you, Sensei!"

Sensei Wu shakes his head and looks at everyone. "He is the reason I left. For so long as Pythor has Lloyd, he will be our guest."

Our eyes widen. "Huh?!"

We're all just shocked.

"We have to live with this guy?!"

"But Sensei, he has four arms!"

"Uh, must I remind you ever since he turned evil, he's been trying to get our Golden Weapons!?"

"You can't be serious!"

He gets ambushed by yells and shouts when finally, he has had enough.

"Enough!" He shouts out angrily.

We quickly shut our mouths and bow before apologizing. "Yes, Sensei."

"This isn't about the weapons. It's about my son," Garmadon says. "I just want to get my son back and see he's safe again."

"From here on out, you will obey me and you will respect my brother."

We sigh before accepting the situation we're in. "Yes, Sensei."

Sensei nods, knowing that we finally understand. "We must put our attention to more pressing matters. So, where are we at with the four Fangblades?

Jay starts filling him in. "Oh, Pythor's managed to take the first two, but there's still two left."

"And we only need one to prevent him from unleashing the Great Devourer," Cole interjects.

"Any luck finding their whereabouts?" Wu asks.

"No, but the Falcon is programmed to alert us if he sees any suspicious activity," Zane informs.

"Good. If we find the Fangblade, we find Lloyd. Kai and Nya, prepare the deck and double-check the anchor. We need to be ready when we first get word of the snake activity."

Kai and Nya nod. "Yes, Sensei."

The two leave for the Deck as Kai glares at Garmadon. Sensei then turns to Jay. "Jay, did you say the Falcon was...programmed?"

"Haha. Okay, Sensei. I don't know where to start. It all started when we saw the Falcon, and then we ran after it..."

I start zoning out the two and turn to Garmadon. I never thought that Lloyd's father would actually be him.

He eventually notices I'm staring at him. "Aren't you going to attack me? Like your siblings tried to?"

"Nope. I respect Sensei's wishes even if I don't agree with them. But, it also has to do with the fact you're Lloyd's father."

"So you're Y/n? I heard a lot about you through my brother." He kneels down to my level, patting my head, and smiles. "Thank you for being there for my son. I appreciate that a lot. I know we'll get him back. I want to get back my son too."

"O-oh heh well I'm glad I could help." I smile. "Seems like we have a common goal then."

"It seems like it. Let's continue talking inside." He smiles and holds my hand as we walk inside with everyone else.

I have a feeling that although he's an evil overlord, he's not that bad of a guy. These next few days are going to be something else.

~

We are brushing our teeth together but, brushing my teeth with my brothers is a nightmare. Sure, we like to brush our teeth together but it's always a fight to get a spot in the mirror. Being the shortest though, I never do.

Garmadon walks over to where we are and starts brushing his teeth with a dagger. The boys just stare at him in confusion while I just keep on brushing my teeth because it's not bothering me. I just gotta finish what I'm doing then off to bed.

But, the Chaos Lord notices the position I'm in and decides to take it upon himself to help me.

He picks me up and places me on his shoulder. I'm taken aback before going back to brushing my teeth. He smiles and continues as well.

Garmadon may be evil, but he has limits.

~

We're all sitting at the dinner table together for the first time in forever. I sit in between Kai and Cole like we used to. It finally feels like we're a family together after all this time being apart. Even if Garmadon is making everyone feel awkward, he just needs a different diet than us, I guess.

I just keep on eating though while Cole and Kai are just staring at him. "What's he eating?" Cole asks.

"Condensed Evil. Supposed to be low in fat."

Something crawls out of Garmadon's plate and crawls its way towards us, freaking me out. Kai quickly flings it away before pulling me close to him.

He glares at him before we continue to eat. This is something else.

~

Jay, Nya, and I decided to watch our favorite drama show, and let's just say it's an emotional scene. All three of us have started crying because the man had to leave his darling and it's just so emotional!

"It's just not fair!" I say in between sobs, blowing into my tissue.

Suddenly, we hear laughter come from next to us. We slowly turn to the person and to say we weren't surprised would be an understatement.

Garmadon just laughs before changing the channel.

Jay throws his hands up in the air before dragging Nya and me out of the room in anger.

~

I run into the Bridge, trying to protect myself from the harsh rain happening outside. "Dear Spinjitzu! It's so bad outside!"

"I know! Do you know how hard it is managing the Bounty through this storm?!" Kai shouts out in frustration.

Zane walks into the Bridge, drying himself off. He looks around noticing not everyone is there. "Where's Garmadon?"

Kai just says deadpanned, "Sunbathing."

Zane and I look through the window and sure enough, in the middle of a fricken storm, he's sunbathing on the Deck.

"Are we sure he's Lloyd's dad?

~

I stare at my siblings from the doorway, finally figuring out where all the light is coming from. Garmadon is conducting electricity, just to annoy them.

He sure is the son of the First Spinjitzu Master if he's able to do that. Now I know why Sensei doesn't want his brother in his room.

"Do you have to do that? We're trying to sleep! For Spinjitzu's sake, it's even bothering Y/n!" Kai shouts in anger.

Garmadon, being Garmadon, simply ignores him and only laughs as he continues but lowers the light of it slightly.

They all groan as the four cover their heads with their pillows while I head back to my room. "At least it's only for a while... And he's bothering them, not me."

~

We're in the living room playing video games, well except me of course, trying to get the high score when you know whowalks in and takes Jay's controller. Jay, of course, is angry but rather not get destroyed by Garmadon so he just puts in silence. We just stare at him in confusion when he starts playing the game but not the way we expected him to.

"He's not even playing the game right. He's just shooting and destroying things."

Zane ignores Kai's whining as he studies Garmadon. "I've noticed when he isn't so focused on trying to turn Ninjago into his own image, he's actually quite fascinating."

"Sure, four arms are freakish, but all in all, he doesn't seem that bad of a guy," Cole adds on.

"He's pretty nice. I don't think he wants to hurt anyone unless they get in his way. If he was around more, I think he would've been a good dad to Lloyd."

Kai rolls his eyes at our comments. "He might be pulling the wool over all your eyes, but not mine. He's up to something. And I'm gonna be ready for it."

~

"After some getting used to our new guest, he's become quite enjoyable," I say to Nya.

"You're right. He's not that bad really. I thought he would be worse, but then again, he's Sensei's older brother so he must've set an example for him when he was younger."

We nod in agreement before Sensei grabs our hands and drags us to his room in a hurry for whatever reason. We both look at each confused but just follow. He's our Sensei after all. When we enter the room, Sensei closes the door and turns to us. We look at him confused as he gestures to the bed. That's when we notice all the weapons are placed carefully on the bed and the Green Gi is laid out before us. "Sensei, is this about the Green Ninja?" Nya asks.

He nods."I have come to understand the mysterious Samurai is no longer a mystery.

Nya smiles sheepishly. "Oh yeah, you heard about that. I guess I picked up a thing or two."

He then turns to me. "And you. You've come to finally realize that you were alive all those years ago. The friend that my father told me stories about."

My eyes widen a bit before sighing. "Yes, Sensei. It's true."

"I didn't want to tell you sooner child in fear it might affect the prophecy. And I apologize in advance."

"Wait you knew?!"

He chuckles before he caresses his beard. "It was foolish of me to think that a girl could not be the destined Green Ninja. So, I think it could be one of you two."

Our eyes widen. One of us could be the Green Ninja?! But that's... impossible! It can't be, can it?...

"When the four weapons are laid out before the destined one, the weapons will react, revealing the identity of the Green Ninja."

Nya turns to him, worried. "But, Sensei..."

He ignores her pleas. "Approach the weapons."

I watch her do so nervously. Though, after a few seconds pass. Nothing happens. So she decides to go touch them but when she does, they simply zap her, startling us. She sighs in relief that the weapons rejected her though. She knew she never wanted to be the Green Ninja and she was happy she wasn't. She's destined for something else after all.

Sensei sighs before turning to me. "Y/n. Approach them."

I gulp, walking to them ever so slowly. I've never approached all four weapons like this before... What's going to happen? Will it reveal I'm the Green Ninja?...

I take a deep breath before I take my final step in front of them. I hold my breath and I stare at the weapons.

No reaction.

I place my hand on them.

No reaction.

I let go of my breath and turn back to Sensei. "Seems like-"

A large purple light emits from them, filling the entire room. Our eyes widen and I quickly turn back to the weapons, seeing them float.

"Sensei what's happening?! Is this a part of the Green Ninja prophecy?!"

He stays silent.

Eventually, the light vanishes, and the weapons drop back onto the bed.

"Y/n/I'm the Green Ninja?!" Nya and I shout in unison.

Sensei Wu chuckles and shakes his head. "No, unfortunately. That light was something else entirely."

"What?! Sensei, what are you not telling me?!"

Before Sensei Wu says anything else, shouting can be heard from the hallway outside. We three look at each other and quickly decide to go investigate it. Nya swings the door open and we see Garmadon and Kai in a face-off situation. I facepalm while she questions them. "Guys, guys, what are you doing out here?"

Garmadon glares at the red ninja. "Perhaps you should be asking Mr. Snoopy Pants that question."

"Damn it, not this Green Ninja stuff again."

"Kai, were you spying on us?"

"What? No way! I was, uh, keeping watch. So are you the Green Ninja? Is Y/n? I saw that purple light!"

"What? Of course not. And neither is she. That was about..."

"My past."

Him being an idiot, ignores it and hears what he wants to hear while smiling brightly. "So the weapons didn't tell you. Ah, that means I still have a chance! But who is the Green Ninja?"

Sensei shakes his head in dissatisfaction. "Perhaps we will never know."

Before anything else is said, Jay comes bursting into the hallway and angry. "Kai, you were supposed to be in the Bridge! Zane's Falcon spotted them!"

Garmadon's and I's eyes widen.

This is finally our chance...

~

We quickly enter the Bridge as Nya takes control of the Bounty and starts pressing a bunch of buttons on the panel. She pulls up the holographic map and stares at it for a moment before realizing where they are. "Looks like Pythor is at the Temple of Fire."

"That means the Fangblade is there," Kai says determinedly.

Soon, the map shakes over to Falcon's vision, spotting the snakes entering the Volcano with Lloyd.

Garmadon looks at the monitor, seeing his son in a cage. "And Lloyd..."

"That's the same Fire Temple where Kai and Lord Garmadon first faced off," Jay voices in realization.

"Seems like everything is coming full circle then."

"If my memory serves me correct, I'd say one of us cheated back when we last fought."

"And I remember someone needing their Sensei to save them."

"Guys! For the sake of the Fangblade and Lloyd, can we please just get along?" Cole shouts out in frustration to Kai and Garmadon.

"Now is not the time to be fighting! We're on the same team for Spinjitzu's sake!" The two look away from each other in anger.
