Me imagining what would happen if they locked all the best fanfic writers of the fandom in a room & made them write a season.

How many people at school or in general tried to befriend hellspawn just so they could get to meet the ninja or have the ability to boast about being connected to them through hellspawn? Cause, like, there is no way this won't ever happen.

A lot, unfortunately.

They'd ask all sorts of questions like what the inside of the monastery looks like and whether she can teach them Spinjitzu. (Well she can't. Blame Lloyd for saying she's too young for anything) Cue them later asking what the ninja are really like and whether Kai's hair is actually real. Does Zane need to be charged before battle? Is Nya still with Jay? What does Cole do in his spare time? Why are Lloyd's eyebrows suddenly so different? Is Wu really that old? Are they allowed to come to the monastery?

You'd think getting that amount of attention and interest would be fun for someone that young but it's the opposite actually. It's great at first but starts sucking after a while. No one really cares to ask her about her after she told them she doesn't have Lloyd's powers or anything like that. A conversation with those kids almost always involves someone asking something about her dad or Uncle Zane or Uncle Jay and she gets bored. Speaking of which, what's so interesting about her dad, anyway? He picks his nose, he burns tea—

And then there's this boy who basically worships Kai and all hellspawn's thinking in her head is the last time there was a fire in the courtyard and her Aunt Ni looked like she wanted to murder someone. He says he really wants to meet Kai someday cuz he's cool, and definitely should've been the Green Ninja instead of Lloyd who barely deserved it. As soon as hellspawn heard that she was like: what did u say.

To spare you the details, she got into some *cough* minor trouble — which Lloyd freaked out at because when he was at Darkley's, he was the one being hit and the last thing he wants is for her to end up like one of Gene's goons at the age of only fIVE.

So naturally, he spent at least twenty minutes giving her a whole lecture about why she should never hit others and how wrong it is, causing her to sulk and tell him what the heck happened.

Silence.

Lloyd: He's right.

Hellspawn, blinks: What?

Lloyd: Kai should've been the Green Ninja.

Hellspawn: But—

Lloyd, shrugs: Well he trained, he worked hard — he wanted it a lot more than anyone. I was just some dumb kid that ended up with it. *forces a smile* Destiny's weird, don't you think?

Hellspawn: ...

Later, she finds Kai who's in the middle of sharpening his sword and asks him about it.

Hellspawn bites her lip: Do you still wish it was you?

Uncle Kai, stares at her incredulously: Of course. I could've FIXED Lloyd's whole life—

really embarrassed to say that before watching dr i actually thought wyldfyre was kai & skylor's kid.

bye i'm gonna go hide in a hole questioning my judgement rn.

How does Hellspawn handle the idea of her dad dating?

Harumi? Horribly. That woman could drown in Great Devourer bile for all she cared. Akita? She's cool. Great temporary therapist for her dad but Lloyd doubts he'll see her again.

But the idea of her dad dating? It's...weird to be honest. Two of her teachers seem like they have a crush on him and she's really hoping he doesn't ever date them. That, and she can never really understand what people see in him. He's just normal???

(Lloyd didn't quite enjoy that comment so Kai used it as an excuse to get him to get more sleep)

Hellspawn would totally ask Lloyd where her mother is especially at a young age. He chokes whenever she asks.

Absolutely, lmao.

It's bad enough that it was her favorite kids show that started the question. And after her young mind pieced together that a 'mother' was basically a female version of someone who took care of you & spent time with you like your dad, she wondered who that was to her.

Obviously Misako was too old, and Pixal didn't have a physical form yet so she never really interacted with her often. Only Nya was left, but then she remembered that Nya was Aunt Ni and not Mommy.

So one day while they were all having lunch on the bounty...she decided to ask Lloyd.

And boy was he unprepared for that question.

Eventually, Cole just decided to awkwardly tell her that she's a special case and her dad is literally also her mom—which led to her soon asking why she doesn't call him mommy. Kai cheerfully told her that she could if she wanted to and Lloyd immediately kicked him under the table after that one. Zane suggested that Lloyd just tell her the complete truth and after a "I'd rather get possessed again" and some convincing, Lloyd finally agreed to tell her he made her with his powers.

After somewhat absorbing that, she asked whether she could have a little sibling—no surprise there. The rest of the team spent at least fifteen minutes laughing at the look on Lloyd's face.

Man... having the talk with her one day is definitely gonna be something.

When Lloyd and hellspawn go out do they have to put on disguises? Do they also put on like contacts or something? Does hellspawn love dressing up or does she hate it?

Initially, Lloyd never really saw any need for that because he never once took her out with him after she was made...spawned?

Keep in mind this was after the Final Battle — a.k.a back when Lloyd had to show up to ceremonies all over Ninjago and was busy as heck. On the days when he was on break, he always spent them at Garmadon's monastery and never left because he was desperate for some peace and quiet while trying to take care of her. The furthest he even went with her was just outside the monastery.

And yeah, maybe also because the thought of wearing a disguise didn't cross his mind at the time. Sigh.

(Garmadon, teach your son how to shapeshift. i'm begging you.)

At Zane's funeral, they just passed her off as a distant cousin of Jay's from Edna's side of the family. And then the team split, leaving Lloyd to spend nearly all his time at the monastery during the first few weeks contemplating things to the point he really needed a distraction.

So the only one he was left with was Nya, who was basically like: Put on a hoodie and take her out to the park. The weather's good.

Lloyd: But you guys told kid me i looked terrible with my hood up.

Nya crosses her arms: That was Kai.

Lloyd, sniffs, looking away: Whatever. Still hurts a year later.

Nya, lets out a sigh: Lloyd—

Lloyd: Not happening. It'll make me look like a kidnapper.

Nya looks at him warily: What kind of movies have you been watching, again?

Lloyd pretends he didn't hear her: Or maybe I could grow a moustache.

Nya stares at him: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.

Lloyd: But I'll look good—

Nya: I'm disowning you.

Lloyd: I was joking!

Nya: Just wear a hat. I'll even buy you one.

And so, Lloyd went with a fedora and green contacts to cover his red eyes & started taking her out more often — with Nya occasionally tagging along. It's mostly just walks in a stroller in which he just pretends to be his kid's older brother who's supposed to be watching her. Overall, it's fun. One day there were old ladies who came up to them commenting on how adorable the baby was, causing Lloyd to be like: there's no way i made this.

And fortunately, she was asleep at that moment, so her eyes didn't give Lloyd away.

When Nya isn't there with him—and it's also one of those days he blames himself for Zane's death, Lloyd finds himself spilling everything to hellspawn and then feeling really bad about it later. His only comfort is that he knows she won't remember this—he really hopes she doesn't.

After s4 and pre s5, Lloyd started getting sick of having to pretend to be his own kid's brother instead of her father so he decided to dress more maturely to look older, even putting on a fake moustache & goatee to complete the look and took her to other places to not be recognized. Kai could no longer see his baby brother anymore & was sad for a week.

But after s5...well that was where the real challenge began.

After the press found out the Green Ninja actually had a child, Lloyd was hysterical. They'd been so careful, so careful and now it was all gone. Great. She's gonna go through the same thing he does now all because she's stuck with him for a dad.

She's only two. Lloyd can't make her wear contacts every time they're out and Zane says that isn't advisable either. And considering he can't keep her isolated on the bounty for the rest of her life, he decided to get some wigs, hats and literally anything else to make her as unrecognizable as possible.

And she hates it.

Well the good thing is, her eyes look more brown from afar instead of red, so there's no need to worry about that. She really despises wigs though. Lloyd eventually decided to just dress her in toddler hoodies — which he made — or cover her face with a blanket after finding that out the hard way.

And before s8 and some time after Lloyd's eye color changed completely, she started taking an interest in green colored contacts just to match him because his eyes weren't red anymore.

Oh this is a horrible idea

What if Kai taught Hellspawn "self-defense" or whatever these kids did to the Kalamaar cut out during the time skip?

No it's a GREAT idea.

It wouldn't happen during the time-skip though but I can see it happening throughout the time between s11 & seabound, when Lloyd isn't looking.

I just think the ninja were estranged from some point after seabound, so during the time-skip to crystalized, hellspawn didn't really see the rest while Lloyd cleaned windows.

And after finding out, Lloyd asked her to put some moves to use the next time they see Dareth. He still remembers the bruise he got when Dareth taught her one of his own.

What is hellspawn's favorite thing to do with each member of her family and her friends?

Lloyd

- Depends on the day, really. It usually alternates between chewing on his hair and burying her face into his neck. But mostly, it's the first one.

- Dragon rides work too, I guess.

Nya

- Swimming — if they ever get a chance to go somewhere. Both of them agree that the hot tub doesn't count, unlike Kai.

- Pranking the rest.

Kai

- Listening to the 'Long Tales of Little Lloyd Garmadon', some of which Kai completely made up to damage his little brother's reputation.

Jay

- (Tragic) Tag

- Smuggling Starfarer comics from Lloyd's room to Jay's because Jay sacrifices some of his candy stash in return.

Cole

- Sitting on his shoulders because it's a lot higher up compared to the others.

- Piggy back rides.

Zane

- When she got older, she started enjoying watching him cook because that's when she gets to debate with him about whether or not that dish even needs vegetables. Somehow, Zane doesn't mind it and finds it amusing and just explains why vegetables are necessary for a healthy diet.

Pixal

- Passing her stuff in the underground base when she has nothing to do.

I think it would be funny if after crystallized hellspawn gained some level of respect for harumi but still hated her guts, and especially the idea of her dating her dad. And even after constant reassurance that it ain't gonna happen she still would not take any chances whatsoever

Oh they dosing off kinda close to each other? Cue hellspawn climbing on the couch literally kicking harumi off and snuggling into her dads side and other shit like that.

Everyone thinks its adorable

Also sorry i didnt do the get to know me thing, truth is im too anxious to post things on social media, even starting to comment and send asks took me a while to gather courage to do. But hey, maybe one day

The couch scene is automatically canon—it would be a crime not to put it in considering I can now not remove the image from my head LOL.

But she respects her...a bit. There's a tiny bit of respect for her considering the only reason she died was because she saved a family—but there's none for what she did to or is currently doing to her dad. Her great grandfather forbid there to be.

And hellspawn recruited Luke to help her make Harumi's life as miserable as possible. Kai & Nya know what she's doing but say nothing to Lloyd about it. They love the fun—plus, Harumi deserves it.

Right, this is gonna sound really fucked up — and you're all going to hate me for this — but I actually want Lloyd to die at some point in the show.

And that...is because of these two:

Give me a dumb scene about Kai and Garmadon yelling at each other because of each other's grief and eventually having this moment of clarity where they realize that Lloyd wouldn't want them to do this and all that shit. Give me Kai spitting out "he was my brother" and Garmadon replying with an anguished "he was my son" and them connecting with one another through their grief. Give me a plot of a season that doesn't end with them bringing Lloyd back. Get Garmadon and Kai to sort out their differences throughout their shared loss or whatever. Y'all don't understand how much I need this.

Wouldn't it be funny if when hellspawn... well spawned garm/misako called wu and the ninja to try and tell them to come over (and bring baby stuff while their at it) but the situation was so chaotic that the ninja only understood a small part of it and, with the little info they had; concluded that lloyd was turned into a baby?

Takes place sometime before s3.

Don't get him wrong. Cole had always been someone who liked kids.

Just...just not these kids.

"Being a teacher is hard work," Kai complained, plopping down a nearby chair as soon as he could step into the break room. His usually well-gelled hair was beginning to droop miserably. "If my work of art gets another spitball when my back is turned again I swear I'll—"

"Work of art? FSM, who told you that lie?" Nya snorted, only to receive a very nasty glare from her brother at that comment. "That's a mess."

"Those kids are the mess," Kai grumbled, hands reaching up to comb through his hair to find any remaining atrocities. "They're even worse than the baby gremlin version of Lloyd. Can you believe that?"

"You're telling me," Cole rubbed his eyes. "I come in ten minutes late and someone lets Ninjago's most poisonous scorpion walk around the classroom."

"How did they even bring one in, again?" Nya sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose wearily. "Enough said. We need stricter rules."

"As if that'll stop them," Kai huffed, chucking his file across the room. "Keep dreaming."

" 'Educating the future of Ninjago' my butt. Wu definitely hates us."

"Bad day too huh, zaptrap?" Cole winched sympathetically, watching Jay's head dip in a depressed nod as he made a beeline for the freezer.

"We went from saving Ninjago to needing to be saved," Jay stressed, eyes scanning through the contents of the refrigerator before then widening. "Hey. Who took my pudding cup?"

"You had a pudding cup?" Cole blinked, his gaze briefly falling on the empty plastic container in front of him on the table. At that, Jay's eyes locked on it as well. "Um...sorry?" He tried, grimacing at once.

"Bullied by my students, and now bullied by my friends," Jay said miserably, slamming the fridge door shut at once. "This is just great."

"Perfect for a villain arc," Kai said helpfully, only to receive incredulous looks from everyone else in the room. "What? Literature is finally growing on me."

"I can't believe I got stuck with history," Jay groaned, sounding as though he was tempted to bang his head against the table. "Zane's the walking textbook. He should be teaching history."

"Unfortunately, that would leave a vacancy for the science teacher position," Zane replied, walking into the room — weirdly percent timing, Cole thought suspiciously. "I believe Wu does not wish to look elsewhere for a replacement."

"Yeah," Kai rolled his eyes. "So he can continue to pay us like—"

"But Nya could teach science," Jay suggested, looking at her pleadingly. "Right, Nya?"

Nya seemed to contemplate that thought. "I guess I could—"

"See?"

"But you're gonna have to take over math," Nya told him, chewing on the inside of her cheek. "You have to spend the rest of your life hearing those kids talk about how much they hate you and—"

Jay blinked. "Wait, what—"

"Yeah," Nya shrugged. "And then, they start debates with you asking why the heck do we have to learn this—"

"Well that's normal for me," Jay said, and then frowned. "Anyway, why are we forced to learn math, again?"

"I often wonder that myself," Sensei coughed.

All of them nearly jumped at that, not having seen him enter. The old man merely shook his head.

"You five have become less vigilant," he stated exasperatedly, the bottom of his bamboo staff colliding with the floor as he continued to step forward. "Such carelessness could be your downfall."

Kai just stared at him in disbelief. "So is that why those brats keep scheming against me?"

"Probably," Jay suggested, only to earn a scowl in response. "And by the way Sensei, I kinda have a teeny, tiny little request as a teacher—"

"Oh, I've already heard that," Sensei replied, giving him a brief knowing look. "As long as Nya and Zane are alright with this new arrangement, I don't see any reason to refuse you."

"I have no issue with this," Zane chimed in, and Nya nodded in agreement.

"Oh, those kids don't know what's coming, alright," she grinned mischievously. "I can't wait for the experiments—"

It was then when the sound of ringing cut the air.

Cole's eyes immediately fell on the telephone.

"I will get it," Sensei told them, before any of them could bother getting up. Cole felt his eyebrows knit into a frown. Hang on, hadn't the last time that phone had gotten a call been when—

Jay's face was suddenly as pale as a sheet. "Please tell me they aren't going to enroll in another—"

"Hello. This is Darkley's Boarding School For Great Children how may I — brother?" Sensei blinked, sounding genuinely surprised at the fact the former dark lord was calling him at this point of the day. "Is everything alright?"

Cole watched questioningly as the old man's expression suddenly tightened, before then proceeding to take the deepest dive into confusion in the history of Ninjago.

"What do you mean?" Sensei asked incredulously, both of his eyebrows rising high enough to be concealed by the shadow of his straw hat. "Brother, of all the methods you could use to antagonize me—"

"What the heck is going on?" Jay whispered.

"No idea," Cole mouthed, continuing to listen intently with a deeper frown. Had Garmadon sprouted another pair of arms again or something?

Then, suddenly, the old master stilled, his golden eyes far wider than they had ever seen them. The knuckles of the hand holding the phone were visibly white with how tightly he was gripping it.

It was a while until he managed to bring himself to speak once again.

"A baby, Garmadon — what was he thinking—"

"What?" Nya gasped, and Kai's jaw dropped open at once, the hothead looking as though he was about to faint. Even Zane was no different.

What. On Earth. Was Going On.

"He is more like Father than I thought," Sensei lamented miserably, as though he very much regretted that fact.

He, Cole realized, taking note of that detail immediately. That could only mean Sensei was referring to—

"Alright, alright," Sensei sighed, his grip on the phone faltering slightly. "We'll be there, brother."

Then, he placed the telephone back on its holder, pushing it away immediately.

"What was that about, Sensei?" Nya asked.

The old master met her gaze tiredly, appearing as though he regretted hearing the sound of ringing in the first place.

He heaved out a sigh. "Garmadon has called."

Kai shot him a deadpan stare. "Yeah. We could tell—"

"I'm afraid we will need to leave the academy in the care of Dareth until we return," Sensei said, running a hand over his face wearily. "Garmadon requires our presence. As soon as possible."

"Well care to tell us why?" Jay crossed his arms. "And what was that about a baby?"

"You also used the third person pronoun 'he' at the three minute and thirty one second mark of your conversation," Zane pointed out, sounding genuinely curious. "That would most likely mean—"

"—that this is something related to Lloyd," Cole finished, unsurprised that the others had pieced it together too. "Master," he then asked hesitantly. "is Lloyd okay?"

"What the hell is happening?" Kai yelped.

Sensei closed his eyes, raising his head as though to stare at the ceiling in despair. "Dear First Spinjitzu Master."

"I think we broke him," Jay whispered mournfully. For the first time in his life, Cole was forced to agree.

"I believe this will be easier to explain once you have seen it for yourselves," Wu finally admitted, his voice painfully strained. Cole held back a grimace. "In the meantime, gather as many items that can be used to care for an infant as possible—I'm sure Garmadon will greatly appreciate it," he told them, giving them all a weak smile. "Now excuse me, I must go find Dareth."

Jay looked at them all in bewilderment after the old man had turned around and left. "But we don't even have baby stuff—"

"Exactly, so screw it," Kai hissed, something in his eyes now ablaze. "I'm going to head there now and storm the place until I find out what's going on. Who's with me?"

"Me," chorused four other voices without hesitation. After that, Nya suddenly furrowed her brow in concentration.

"I just really don't understand the baby part," she muttered, her forehead creasing as she continued to ponder on that thought. "You know, at first I was convinced that Sensei G and Misako had welcomed a baby — but then, that thing about Lloyd came along."

"Or maybe Lloyd's the baby?" Jay offered.

Cole's mind went blank.

"What?"

"You're kidding me," Kai said, his tone edged in disbelief. "No. There's no way."

"But what if there is?" Jay begged. "I mean, didn't Sensei mention something about Lloyd and the FSM?"

"He is correct," Zane confirmed with a nod. "There was a moment where Sensei expressed regret at their similarities — thus hinting that the current matter at hand is something the First Spinjitzu Master experienced himself."

"And what does Lloyd have that the FSM did, again? Power," Jay said, flailing his arms for emphasis. "We're not talking about just any power here — the golden shit."

"So you're saying Lloyd turned himself into a baby," Nya actually sounded more amused than scandalized at the suggestion. "Actually now that I think about it, that makes sense."

Cole stared at her like she'd just conjured a dragon. "Sense?"

"Yup," she hummed, and then gestured to Kai as though she was showing all of them an artistic masterpiece. "Just look at who's his mentor."

Kai let out a pained groan as all eyes fell on him. "Why is it always me—"

"I had hoped you would have an explanation for that," Zane said dryly. Kai buried his face into his hands.

"My baby brother, here I come," he mumbled, shaking his head.

Wu to Lloyd later : There is something I haven't told you—

Thanks for the ask!

Headcannons for the Hellspawn AU

The Kid

Basically just like Lloyd. Pale blonde hair, red eyes. Kinda has her dad's fangs.

Has a sweet tooth even worse than Lloyd's and Cole's. Lloyd used to give in to her demands until Zane knocked some sense into him about why not to give too much sugar in children.

Of all the ninja and other than her dad, Cole's her favorite. Just look at his interactions with little Wu and you'll see why.

As a toddler, she was a mischievous little runt, and once when lloyd was trying to take something from her, she bit him. Yes, she bit the guy who GAVE her the fangs.

She drove Lloyd crazy when she was an infant. Greenie was literally about to burst into tears when Sensei G noticed one night and decided to help him. In the end, Sensei G had two kids to console. One was his crying grandchild, and the other was his stressed out son.

Her first word wasn't papa or dada. It was sugar. Lloyd still hasn't forgiven her for that, but the others find it hilarious, considering that he'd once said he couldn't love anything more than candy.

Once, she got her hands on Lloyd's sword because of amazing parenting. Yeah...just thank the fsm that Kai was there before she could get other ideas.

But on another occasion, she managed to get her hands on Nya's knives by sneaking into her room on the bounty. The first thing she did when she toddled out was chase a shrieking Jay while holding them. My poor man was hysterical.

Because of her father's request, she was kept out of the spotlight all her life. The media didn't know Lloyd had a kid until after Stiix. And yup, that just means the fan girl craze in S6 was even worse.

She used Montrositea on a plant during Wu's Teas. And it also went after Jay.

Lloyd

Poor bean suffered some minor hair loss in S3-pre S5. Half of it was because his kid kept pulling it while the other half, was actually the result of him often pulling at it in frustration at how hard it is to raise a mini version of himself.

But don't worry, he's fine now. (Kai just threatened to kill him if he even dared to touch his hair for no reason, and Pixal recommended some other ways to help him calm down)

At first, he was really hesitant to let her ride with him on his dragon because of the fear of her falling off. However, when he saw Cole give her the ride she'd been asking for quite a while and nothing happened, he finally stopped being paranoid. (It totally wasn't because he was jealous of Cole)

Funnily and sadly enough, the first bedtime story Lloyd ever read to her was Jack the Rabbit — a.k.a, the book Wu read to him in Season 1 in Never Trust A Snake — a.k.a the one about not trusting snakes. Well to be fair, she could've also inherited his brain cells and stupidity and do the same thing his nine-year-old self did so.....yeah, this is completely warranted.

He sews his kid her own clothes when he has the time — we all saw his sewing skills in that Darkley's episode — he's good at it, guys.

Sometimes, he wonders if there will be a day she'll inherit his element and he'll lose his powers. Not that he's being selfish — he's just worried about how he's going to continue being a ninja without his powers. He had a kid young so he's going to lose his powers young. That's kind of a tough pill to swallow, especially considering how he was at the beginning of S9.

He often thinks that he's the worst choice of a parent but despite that, he still tries his best. Even if he knows he's still trying to figure out things.

Nya

Hellspawn usually calls her Aunt Ni, because when she was younger, "NI-YA" was a lot harder to pronounce. So Ni just stuck.

She's the best aunt — who also won't hesitate to reprimand her little brother's offspring when necessary. And give Lloyd a piece of her mind for enabling her on some occasions too — which are a lot of occasions, actually.

Nya loves dolling her up, you know? Helping her do her hair, buying her clothes etc. And she teaches Lloyd different styles to do it himself when she has the chance (cuz this dude was panicking the entire time of not knowing how tf to do hair)

She taught hellspawn swimming when she was really young. Kai thought she was trying to kill her lol.

Also, she constantly loves cheekily comparing how raising S1 Lloyd was to helping to raise his hellspawn. Lloyd's daughter is a little better behaved than the 'lil terror Lloyd was, so she guesses somebody must be doing a good job, then.

Kai

Kai often gives Lloyd some tips about childcare since he practically raised Nya himself.

He told his honorary niece about the time Lloyd had a wannabe overlord phase and demanded candy from an entire village, so Lloyd put green dye in his hair gel.

Ever since he made Lloyd a sword, hellspawn's been pleading for him to make her one. Jay always begs Kai to not do it each time (well to be fair, the poor guy's still traumatized from that one game of tag. we can't blame him)

She spends the most time with kai during winter because that's when this man feels like a fucking furnace. Like, she'll just lie in his arms with no intentions of leaving them until the season's over and not even Lloyd can take her from him.

Jay

Jay, being the Master of Lightning, was the one who comforted her when she was afraid of storms.

Just like Lloyd, I believe this man has a candy stash...and one day when she couldn't figure out where her dad hid his candy after she found it the night before, she decided to go after Jay's.

Jay and Nya teamed up to build her a little toy for Christmas once. She loved it so much that she threw it at Lloyd to show it to him and it hit him squarely on the face. (ouch) But the toy survived though!

Cole

The favourite uncle, self-explanatory.

Won't hesitate to pick her up when she asks. She really likes sitting on his shoulders since it's higher up than the others.

She actually likes it when Cole sings, and the Glow Worm song is her favorite. Jay's just convinced that the song had damaged her hearing at some point which is probably why her ears love Cole's singing. Oh well.

When Cole was a ghost, she was sad that he couldn't hug her like he used to but she eventually got used to it. She then ended up loving running into Cole and phasing through him whenever she could and since Cole was a ghost for more than a whole year, it was hard to make her remember the fact that running through him right now wasn't such a good idea.

Zane

Zane taught Lloyd some tricks such as the one where parents blend vegetables into smoothies so kids don't taste it. Lloyd's first thought was that Zane had definitely done this before when he'd been younger, while Cole remains horrified to this day that his favorite cake contains beetroot.

Zane often helps her with her homework when she doesn't understand something.

During summer, she does the same thing she did with Kai during winter. And Nya's the only one who can get her off him, mostly because hellspawn can just ask her to splash her instead.

I see y'all with your Quiet One Lloyd AUs and I raise you:

AU where Lloyd never met the Ninja again after their initial encounter in Jamanakai Village. He ran off before he could fall into the Hypnobrai tomb, so no one, least of all the Hypnobrai themselves, have any idea how or why it opened.

Couple years down the line, the Ninja (who still have no idea who the Green Ninja is) are getting their butts handed to them by a mysterious masked stranger, wielding an unknown element in the form of some sort of destructive, green-and-purple energy. An out-of-breath Kai angrily demands to know who this guy is, prompting the assailant to dramatically pull off his hood and mask and say,

"What, you've hung so many kids from roofs you can't even remember all of them?"

Hellspawn's birthdays throughout the seasons/years?

1st birthday

pre s4

Sensei G's monastery

unfortunately, it wasn't really a good one, because Zane wasn't there — we all know why :( — and the team was pretty much a split up mess. It was fortunate the other three at least made an effort to show up, but it really felt like there was something missing.

Kai bought his honorary niece some baby hair clips — cuz hair is priority — and Lloyd sucks with his own hair, so he's trying to help the kid out.

Nya, on the other hand, was like "I'm gonna turn this kid into a future builder" so she got her some blocks.

Cole and Jay each got her an onesie...the same one. (sigh) They ended up bickering about it during the entire party.

Sensei G and Misako gave her a stuffed dragon that... looks familiar to Lloyd in a way. Wu just nods at Lloyd knowingly.

Meanwhile Lloyd wanted to make her first birthday as special as possible even though he knew she wouldn't remember it so he made her a mini version of his gi. Sadly, it didn't take long for her to grow out of it and that gave Lloyd some grief....well, lots of grief.

2nd birthday

This one was shortly after Stiix

a whole lot better than the first. They celebrated on the bounty

Zane was there (Yay!), and baked the cake. He (and Pixal) also got her some of those sortable shape toys to exercise brainpower. Nya just says it's because no one wants hellspawn to get Lloyd's iq and... Pixal agrees.

Lloyd bought her some finger paints...which she loved so much that she used them on his hair and face. Her excuse was that Unca' Zane had taught her that paper was bad for trees so naturally, she decided to go for another green source.

Jay got her another version of Mister Cuddlywomp, while Cole showed up with a toy piano — his dad's idea, actually. "Introducing kids to music at a young age is a great way to encourage brain development"...(and turn them into musicians, goes unsaid)

Once again, Kai was like "my niece better be stylish and not have little gremlin Lloyd's horrible taste" and got her a leather jacket — toddler size, of course. This guy even brought some sunglasses and a hat. Nya thinks it looks ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Nya came with some bath toys — which she designed herself to be durable enough against the strong waves of the sea. (She's still not over her new Master of Water status)

Misako got her a book full of children's stories — maybe a collection of legends would be more accurate. She's the historian of the family for a reason.

Dareth gave her a mini plushie of himself and she kept pointing out how much the plushie's eyebrows don't even look anything like his real ones.

3rd birthday

some time before Day of the Departed

on the destiny's bounty

Hellspawn wanted to learn airjitzu but that was quickly out of the question — she's too young. And for FSM's sake, she hasn't even learned spinjitzu yet. So that was instantly a no.

So, Misako was like: just do what your father did with you. He didn't listen to me, but you turned out just fine — I still do not understand how you even turned out just fine!

Which was why Lloyd decided to put her on his shoulders and spin around until they were both surrounded by green. Mission accomplished.

But it is only that he realizes that he'd forgotten the fact she'd just eaten some of the cake earlier and has the stomach of a nauseous toddler. Too bad it's too late to do anything. Lloyd ended up needing a shower shortly after that. Jay got a picture :(

4th birthday

pre s8

The apartment Lloyd was stuck living in during the year they were looking for Wu.

Dareth decided that she was already old enough to learn a 'sacred' karate move he personally invented. After learning it, she ran to use it on Lloyd.

Misako couldn't show up because she was too far away, but the others managed to come. Except Nya, but she still joined via face time and sent a parcel.

Lloyd made a cake himself instead of relying on Zane and it actually turned out to be edible. Kai was wondering if they'd entered the apartment of an imposter.

But actually, Skylor helped. So yes, the real Green Ninja has not been kidnapped by aliens. Lloyd can be trusted living on his own. A new invasion isn't coming, So Kai, stop setting chopsticks on fire, Nya can't save your ass—

5th birthday

At the monastery, post MoTo

Unfortunately, there's a reason Garmadon isn't here (I've added it in that post about how the ninja managed to take care of hellspawn)

That morning, Wu finds a strange package left outside, with a note that just says Happy Birthday in messy, familiar handwriting. He knows very well who it's from and opens the package to find a plushie of a plant...an unusual choice from someone like him.

Wu then just lies that it's a gift from a fan and the ninja believe him. So Lloyd lets hellspawn have it.

He ends up despising the gift during Crystalized. 😭

6th birthday

pre s13

celebrated in kindergarten. Which Jay jokes was merely done because Lloyd doesn't want their presence.

But actually, Lloyd does. Because he's getting too many stares and questions from the other kids and he's only doing this because hellspawn wanted to after she saw her classmate do something like this. They celebrated again at the monastery hours later.

And Lloyd gets to meet the boy hellspawn made immediate friends with and finally has confirmation that he's being overprotective over nothing.

Does hellspawn make new friends at school?

Do they go on cute misadventures together?

So far, the idea is that she'll be friends with a boy named Luke, and they'll cause a lot of shenanigans as she ages...and give Lloyd some well-deserved heart attacks (Kai's laughing about karma right now)

One time she and Luke basically just snuck off during a field trip to the zoo and they freed a baby elephant, which made its mother go vicious mode — to this day, Nya is still wondering how the heck did they even do this. I mean...to be fair it isn't as bad as her father releasing tribes of snake people but...really? I can't have even ONE rational person in this family?

And at first when she joined her class, there were a few kids that pointed a lot at her red eyes and found them creepy. Well...Lloyd actually showed them red eyes when he found out and basically just showed them a younger pic of himself to tell them that yeah, the Green Ninja they idolized used to have red eyes too so it doesn't mean that she's the spawn of Satan who eats children for lunch. ( "cries as I remember that she is still called hellspawn" )

Would hellspawn eventually go to school or is she homeschooled?

If she is how will her first day go?

How would the fam react?

How would lloyd feel?

Needless to say, at first, that wasn't even a possibility...because Lloyd here had absolutely no plans of doing such a thing.

After having missed out on 90% of his education and being sent to a school for future overlords, Lloyd didn't really see the need for school. I mean, it wasn't like anyone would even use anything they'd learned from there either.

But actually, his excuses are pure bull because what's actually going on is that this idiot still has Darkley's trauma.

Which is why it wasn't until Nya raised the question to Lloyd one night during dinner — at some point after MoTo — that it finally crossed everyone else's mind that this already-five-year-old-fetus should already be in a classroom.

Well Lloyd immediately pushed for her to be homeschooled because he's not planning on doing what his mother did, but of course that didn't work out. Nya and the others weren't planning on holding back. "She should be making friends, Lloyd— no, Dareth and us don't count, I mean friends her age, and NO you idiot, you are definitely not her friend!"

So yeah, she actually goes to kindergarten one day after a bunch of protests from her aunts and uncles — and after a LOT of research about the school by Zane & Pixal. (at Lloyd's insistence)

Her first day is basically like this :

Everything is fine until the two of them enter the building, and it's time for Lloyd to leave. Hellspawn starts begging him to stay and then Lloyd gets Darkley's flashbacks. For a moment, it's just like that day again — Misako finally letting go of his hand, Misako murmuring promises that she'll come back for him, him starting to feel that something was off, him being told again and again over the years that she hadn't wanted him.

But in the end, he manages to do it. Even though he ends up feeling like a massive jerk for the next few hours until it's time to pick her up. And surprisingly, she had a pretty good day.

What does the public thinks of little hellspawn after her existence is reveled?

Also did the ninja explain everything at the start to nip every future problems in the bud or did they lied about where she came for?

Is she meme'd in amy way maybe or something?

no words can explain how much I love this rn :D

So the idea is that the public finds out about her some time before the beginning of Skybound — when she's about 2. And since this is also during the time the ninja were chucked into as many interviews as possible, the team gets these type of questions a lot. A.K.A; every single blasted time.

It also doesn't help that the number one theory these interviewers have is a teenage pregnancy.

Gayle Gossip: So Mr Garmadon, (insert shocked pikachu face on Lloyd and all the other ninja), what do you think of the current... widespread interest surrounding the identity of the mother of your child?

Lloyd starts choking: W-Wha—

Kai spits out his water at Jay's face : Are you fucking kidding me?

Gayle Gossip ignores him : Also, a great number of your fans have theorized that your daughter was conceived with none other than the Master of Form — whom you have begun a relationship with ever since the Tournament of Elements. What are your thoughts on that speculation, Mr Garmadon?

Nya (groans) : Oh hell no.

Lloyd, panicking : What the heck is it with you and the 'Mr Garmadon' thing, again?!

Gayle Gossip: My apologies. I did not realize that your father's surname was still a rather sensitive topic.

Lloyd stares at her in shock : That's not tru—

Gayle Gossip (coughs) : Now back to our question. Is the current Master of Form truly the mother of your daughter?

Cole looks at her in disbelief : Excuse me, but does she even look like her to you?

Gayle Gossip : I do not recall asking you the question, Earth Ninja.

Lloyd then raises up a hand, finally fed up : Actually, I made her.

Gayle Gossip blinks in surprise : Why...of course. But surely you did not do such a thing alone, Mr Garmado—

Lloyd cuts her off : No. I mean I made her. As in I made made her. *looks at the others for help but gets none* Uh... It's a long story, really.

Gayle Gossip:

Lloyd:

The ninja:

Then, about literally three seconds later,

Gayle Gossip, pretends as though she actually understands: I see...but who is the mother?

And she is memed. A reporter managed to get a picture of her while she was being held by Lloyd and sticking two of her fingers up his nose. The thing is, both of them are middle fingers, so it really looks something like: fuck you for not putting me down for a nap — it's not my fault you just had to go check out the latest Starfarer comic and couldn't find a competent babysitter. And the caption of the meme is literally 'Your honor, I have every right to choose violence' , which is kinda just how the average day looks like for Lloyd.

Hellspawn au because i refuse to let it die

In s8 was hellspawn also needed for the ritual?

I imagain so

And if so, how did they get her did the sog took her in the midst of the crabby fight? Maybe even used her to lure lloyd to the bounty to capture him (even tho we know he would have done so anyway)?

Makes you think how much darker it would make everything from the way back to the castle to the ritual itself considering the fact that this poor, tiny, 4-5 year old girl was there for the whole thing, probably scared out of her mind and threatened constantly with her dad and grandma only being able to watch and not able to actually comfort her on top of everything else thats happening and OMG this is some real angst material

...why didn't I think of that? I— I —

And yes, hellspawn was involved in the ritual. It wouldn't make sense if she wasn't involved in it otherwise — she's literally Garmadon's grandchild. I don't know why my brain even forgot that crucial detail.

So timing-wise, she was taken during the giant crab fight — when the crab burst out of the river in the first place. The commotion was enough for Ultra Violet to grab her on Harumi's orders. Kai notices it, and yells at everyone to stop her, which of course, leads to one-brain-celled Lloyd Spinjitzuing his way onto the bounty — which then leads to his inevitable capture. Harumi successfully kills two birds with one stone...everything is going according to plan.

They reach the Palace of Secrets with two hostages. Lloyd begs Harumi to keep the girl out of this but of course, Harumi doesn't give a shit. Lloyd gets put into his cage like he originally does, and Misako is horrified that her granddaughter has been captured as well. So since Harumi's insurance policy only has room for two cages, hellspawn gets put somewhere else; in one of the secret passageways that survived the SOG's attack on the palace. It's a small space with pitch black darkness. Really a one-way ticket to claustrophobia.

Lloyd doesn't shut up for even a second during his stay in his cage, shouting himself hoarse as he demands to know what the hell they've done with her. The same goes for Misako, but of course, Harumi's a sadistic bitch. It doesn't matter to her.

What if Harumi decided to torture Lloyd, unhinge him, before speaking to him and explaining everything to him in Crystallized? And what if she decided to do that by playing out on his biggest fear—becoming his father?

Just a quick trigger warning: blood, dead bodies, and mentioned cannibalism

_________________________________________

It felt like an eternity had passed before Lloyd finally opened his eyes. Shapes and figures were blurred—colors mixed with no distinct outlines—and he instinctively covered his eyes to block the harsh light. But when his vision adjusted, oh how he wished he could return to the previous moments of visionless bliss. With his vision, the rest of his senses suddenly appeared—something he didn’t even notice was gone in the first place.

He wasn’t sure how he could’ve missed the stench of blood that hung in the air or the deafening screams of unseen citizens. Fog hung low in the air, and greedy fires emitted the harsh light he was just covering from, eating his city away. He stepped back, only to have his foot splash in a pool of blood, triggering his gag reflex.

As he tried to take in his surroundings—to comprehend what he was seeing—a woman stumbled in front of him, snapping him awake. Her clothes, or at least what wasn’t torn, were caked with mud and blood. Her hair was torn in places, and her clear scalp was covered with scratches, just like the rest of her body. He reached out a hand, but, to his utter confusion, she screamed.

“PLEASE NO! Spare me, my lord,” she faced him, eyes brimming with tears, “I have kids! Four of them! Please don’t kill me!”

“Ma’am, I’m only trying to help,” he raised his hands in an assuring manner, “You can tell me where your kids are, and I’ll help you get back to them. I promise.”

She slowly crawled away from him, her whole body shaking like a leaf, repeating, “Not my kids,” over and over again.

“I swear I’m only trying to help!” He took a deep breath, “You might be new here, but I’m the Green Ninja, you know? Helping people is my thing.”

He took a step forward, and, God, if he stabbed her, she wouldn’t have screamed as much as she did.

“PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!”

“Alright, lady, calm down,” his frustration grew with every passing second, and he was barely keeping it in check, “Listen, I’ll leave you, alright? I don’t see any dangers in our immediate surroundings; just stay safe, find your kids, and leave the hell out of here. Sounds good?”

She darted off as fast as her legs could carry her, and he took it as a yes.

Confusion and guilt swarmed his brain as he walked through the streets. The few people he met—all ragged and wounded—reacted similarly, screaming and running left and right. And his friends were nowhere to be seen.

Man, he thought, they sure would be a great load of help right now.

Before he turned onto the next street, the horrible odor intensified, striking his nose strongly, but it was mixed with something else this time. Rotten bananas? No, he pulled out his weapons as realization hit him, It was the smell of bodies; thousands of them concentrated in one place, and a quick look proved his suspicions.

What the hell?

He was about to turn his back to that horrid street, but another realization took control of his limbs, first walking, then running to the heap. His friends…

He scanned the pile for any sign of the—red hair, scarred hands, their gis—anything. In desperation, he prepared himself to climb the heap, but one familiar voice dissolved his doubts, stopping him short. Kai’s.

“What, did you turn to cannibalism already?”

“If you’re searching for something fresh, check the other street; those are days old,” Cole added.

With these remarks, Lloyd expected to see a smile or a smirk on his friends’ faces—not the disgust deeply engraved there.

“Guys, thank God you’re here! Where were you? What happened here?” Shock laced his voice as he studied their torn gis and their fresh wounds, “And where are the others?”

“Not that you care anyway, but they should be coming soon—wouldn’t wanna miss that,” Cole tightened his grip on his hammer, “Now, do you want the easy way or the hard way?’

“What?”

“Dude’s obviously hungry; he probably wants the easy way,” Kai said.

Lloyd put down his sword, shaking his head, “Ha ha, real funny. But can either of you explain what’s going on?”

“Maybe ask yourself, master of destruction,” Nya’s voice, thick with hatred, echoed from behind him before he felt her trident against his back, “Move, and another body will be added to the pile.”

“Nya!” he exclaimed, “Are you OK?”

“That’s hilarious, Lloyd, or should I call you Lord Lloyd, now?” Jay walked into his field of vision, followed closely by Zane.

“You know, at this point, I’m sick of asking, but—”

“He appears to be trying a new strategy,” Zane interrupted.

“What’s it called? Acting all whiny and confused?” Cole’s voice dripped with sarcasm

“Not working so far,” Jay replied, “You need to work on your strategies, Lloyd.”

“Jay, dear, how about we don’t give him any suggestions, mhm? He already conquered Ninjago in less than a week,” Nya said.

“This isn’t funny, guys!” Lloyd protested, “Cut it out!”

He searched their faces for any hints of their condition; whatever caused this might have corrupted them against him, somehow convincing him that he was the root of all this chaos. Their faces, however, showed nothing but anger, hatred, and… was that fear on Jay’s face? And pain in Kai’s eyes?

He held Kai’s glance, trying to speak to him without words, but Kai, who was uncharacteristically quiet, said, “Let’s get it over with.”

“What?!”

Nya struck Lloyd on his head, disorienting him, while Zane froze his feet to the ground. With a quick strike to his wrist, Lloyd’s sword dropped from his hand, and Nya quickly kicked it out of his reach. His other friends encircled him, pulling weapons from pouches on their backs.

Not any weapons.

The Golden Weapons.

An inhuman growl escaped his throat as his heart burned with hurt and shock; his limbs elongated, sending sears of pain through his bones. A new pair of arms sprouted above his waist, sending him into a panic. His eyes filled with tears, refusing to accept what they saw—his Oni form.

No! There’s no way!

It can’t be!

“NOW!” his friends shouted, before jumping at him with weapons directed at his body.

He woke up, gasping, with tears running down his cheeks. His sweaty hands grasped his body, almost expecting himself to be wrapped in bandages but feeling the cloth of his gi instead. The chains around his waist stopped him from sitting up, and the fabric around his eyes prevented him from seeing his surroundings.

A weird laugh, some sort of evil cackle, erupted next to him, “Well, that went better than expected.”

Harumi.

A mixture of feelings squirmed in his gut—panic, sadness, confusion, and, yes, some longing—before finally settling on anger.

“What was that?” His voice rose with every word, burning his throat.

“Oh, nothing, just a little fear serum we wanted to use before you meet the Crystal King.”

With his track record and absolutely terrible excuse of signature luck, you would've thought that nothing could surprise him at this point. But in his defence, Lloyd supposes that not ever expecting this warranted an excuse at least. Especially during a time like now.

...all he'd done was gone to sleep. For crying out loud—that was basically it, so how the hell—

Or; Five days after witnessing his brothers' deaths at the hands of the Colossus, Lloyd gets a chance, a chance to go back, live again and fix it all, while in the body of the kid he hates the most.

And surprisingly, it soon turns out that he isn't the only one with such luck. .

Whats hellspawn's relation ship with the rest of the EM's and other side characters?

Skylor

- Hellspawn hates Lloyd's favorite noodle dish on the menu, and Skylor won't let him live it down.

- She loves the fortune cookies though, which Skylor lets her have on the house. And after she opens each one, Lloyd snorts and calls out how ridiculous the fortune written is and Skylor just rolls her eyes before telling hellspawn that he's just jealous that his destiny is always the worst.

- Getting hellspawn to eat veggies is a struggle and Skylor immediately tells Lloyd it's his own fault for that. Lloyd can't even bring himself to argue because she isn't the first person who's told him that.

- Hellspawn also often questions Skylor about when she's going to marry her Uncle Kai and Skylor literally chokes. Lloyd doesn't completely stop cackling about it until a whole week later.

- She's the first person to question Lloyd about his daughter's elemental power and Lloyd just goes blank, not even sure of it himself. He isn't ready for her to inherit his and for him to lose his powers yet so he just tells Skylor that she's too young for them to be sure of anything yet.

Karloff

- I think Karloff would be this really big burly uncle that seems kinda intimidating at first, but is actually really sweet and is absolutely capable of crushing her when picking her up for hugs.

- During Garmadon's rule she often ran into Karloff and spent time with him because Lloyd wasn't feeling himself. (This was during Hunted, mind you, Lloyd wasn't fine at all)

- Hellspawn is fascinated by Karloff's 'mittens' and often played rock paper scissors with him while at the base. Thankfully, Karloff was all too happy to entertain her.

Tox

- She made hellspawn want to have green hair and Lloyd and Nya flat out told her no. (This was just after Hunted ended btw)

- Well the girl sulked about it for quite some time. When Nya told Kai about this, he almost had a heart attack.

Griffin Turner

- This guy lost his sunglasses at the Resistance's Base and was forced to play tag to get it back. Needless to say, he didn't sign up for this when he decided to help Lloyd & Nya in S9, but he bears with it. Maybe she's growing on him.

Neuro

- when Griffin moaned to him and Paleman that his sunglasses were missing, Neuro played dumb and encouraged the narrative that he probably left them somewhere, instead of telling him that Lloyd's daughter was the one who took them. He's already seen into her mind and found out what she plans to do, so he's just gonna let Griffin endure it to fuck with him.

Paleman

- Dude's the best person to play hide and seek with and hellspawn really wants to take full advantage of that. The only problem is, this guy keeps disappearing because he's learned from what happened to Griffin, so it's a bit of a struggle. The only time he actually agreed was after she asked him why he was called the Master of Light when all he can do is just disappear.

Shade

- Paleman wasn't happy that she showed no sign of making Shade play with her so he dragged him to join them. It was a fun game, surprisingly.

Camille, Ash, Bolobo, Gravis & Jacob.

- Since they weren't present in Hunted, hellspawn's never met them. (I'm not counting the tournament of elements season because hellspawn didn't even participate in it)

Mystake

- She met hellspawn for the first time when Lloyd took her to the tea shop, not knowing what to do since she was severely sick. Fortunately, Mystake had a tea for that, but didn't tell Lloyd that the virus hellspawn had only affected Oni children, which was why the medicine from the pediatrician Lloyd usually took her to didn't work.

Dareth

- Aside from Skylor, logically, this is another character that really interacts a lot with hellspawn. He even had to take care of her for a short period of time during Skybound after the ninja broke out of prison...but he doesn't remember this because of Jay's final wish.

- One day before S8, Lloyd lost her while going grocery shopping and she ran into Dareth, who brought her back to a panicking Lloyd.

- There should be a lot more but I can't think of anything else. 😅 You can add some if you want.

Ronin

- Hellspawn loves pulling his hair whenever she can reach it and Ronin curses Lloyd everytime she does. Whenever Jay sees this, he just lets it be for the fun of it.

Ray & Maya

- These two couldn't believe that their friend's kid now has a kid of his own so Misako had a pretty hard time explaining things to them.

- Maya : Okay, so not only are now my two children nearly adults but YOU'RE TELLING ME WE'VE BEEN IMPRISONED LONG ENOUGH FOR GARM TO HAVE A GRANDCHILD???!

- They really love having hellspawn around though. Ray often remarks on how much she looks and acts like Lloyd and he'll smile, and then Nya will chime in by saying she's actually much worse than Lloyd. Just give her a bit of candy and you'll have an absolute nightmare.

What would have happen if Hellspawn was on the bounty at the end of S8?

Well, first of all, this would make Lloyd despise Harumi (and maybe even Garmadon) a lot more because it's partially her fault hellspawn & the guys just got crushed by the Colossus. The beginning of season 9 would also be well...more depressing, I guess. Nya, Misako & the others know deep down that nothing they ever say will console Lloyd — she was his kid, for FSM's sake. She was his kid. And now, he's lost her along with his brothers and uncle all because he was too trusting.

And as for hellspawn, she's having the time of her life, aside from missing her dad. (Poor Cole tho — he's got two kids to babysit) I think she would've gotten along really well with Faith and child Wu, but she'll be a little disappointed when teenage Wu comes into the picture because he barely pays any attention to her. (Not that he hates her, he's just too focused on finding Faith and the dragon armor, that's all) I also think that Iron Baron would've scared the shit out of her (to be fair, that guy's fucking creepy) and other than that, she finds Kai's S9 stress episodes absolutely hilarious, which is odd considering Zane had tried to get Kai to calm down because he was worried Kai was scaring her.

Back to what's going on in Ninjago, I'd say Lloyd and the others remain in their depressed states until they find out the guys are alive when they see the Traveller's Tea at the bounty's wreckage. Hunted then ends as it originally did.

After the events of S11, the ninja are back to being whole once more. With Zane once again himself and Aspheera having been locked away, they're ready more than ever for whatever that'll come next. But to be fair, being ready for THIS was impossible.

Please, how were they even supposed to know that a teenage Lord Garmadon would end up at the monastery?

Wilted... 👀👀👀

A.k.a an attempt at writing dysfunctional Lloyd & Misako content 🤣.

This takes place some time after Prime Empire. The ninja begin noticing that Lloyd's been acting a little off for the past few days, and he's a lot more distant than usual. Nya immediately assumes that he's hiding the fact he's sick or something but when she checks on him, she soon realizes that he isn't. Kai and Cole try talking to him as well, but Lloyd keeps assuring them that he's fine—that he's just tired and every other unbelievable excuse in the book. Jay suggests to the others that the kid might've had a secret break up that none of them know about, while Zane & Pixal decide to do some detective work.

Eventually, it spirals into Lloyd actually losing control of his powers — something that really takes the team by surprise because this hasn't happened ever since Lloyd was literally a child. (It's kind of like what happened to Nya in the beginning of Seabound, but just replace Water with Energy) That means flickering lights, breaking bulbs, exploding toasters, blowing up transformers and Lloyd himself being more exhausted than ever because most of his power is unintentionally being used in excess. It's around this time everyone realizes that there's something seriously wrong.

Of course, when they ask green bean about it, Lloyd keeps denying it and says that maybe it's because he hasn't been training with his powers that much recently. Everyone around him knows that's pure bull, because 1) how on Earth does an Elemental Master who spent years mastering their element suddenly forget how to control it, and 2) it's Lloyd talking. Even Wu's already had enough with his nephew at this point, and sternly tells him to stop playing games with the team because this was clearly serious. There's even a moment when Wu loses his patience by threatening to strip him of his element with Chronosteel if he doesn't explain at all, but Lloyd still doesn't tell him.

However, the ninja really have to do something about his powers blowing up every nearest electrical appliance so they make the decision to put a vengestone bracelet around his wrist that he himself can't remove. This pisses Lloyd off so much, but at the end of the day, it was definitely necessary. And considering that green bean's still not saying anything, it's gonna be a long time until they'll take it off because they can't solve his issue right now.

So this goes on for a while until Nya suggests something that just might work; finding Neuro. (Honestly, you would've thought this would be the first thing they would've thought off) The ninja and Wu waste no time doing this, and soon, they find out what's going on.

Needless to say, it's something that is definitely the most unexpected, but at the same time, it's not surprising.

So apparently Lloyd has some unresolved abandonment issues with Misako which have recently worsened for reasons they do not know yet. And yeah...she isn't here right now either.

Kai & the others aren't really happy with Misako after finding out about this, while Wu is kind of in denial because he thinks Misako's been quite present after reuniting with Lloyd in the museum. It takes him a while to realize that the answer is actually... no, just no.

So unbeknownst to Lloyd, the ninja & Wu start trying to get hold of Misako to get her to come back to the monastery. That's easier said than done by the way, but after a while, they manage to do it. They don't tell her about what they found out from Neuro though.

As for Lloyd, he's like really surprised that his mother finally came home after like...(2 seasons) And he's also not stupid either. They all know — that's why she's here — it's as simple as that. The ninja don't admit it when Lloyd confronts them, which frustrates him. Thankfully, Wu interrupts the argument and tells Lloyd to make the most out of what his friends have done for him by finding Misako, and leaves. Lloyd utterly hates that.

Then the next few days are literally just the ninja trying to set up Lloyd with his mother. (Imagine your friends setting you up despite your protests, but instead of a date, it's bonding time with your parent) This goes on for like multiple chapters until Lloyd's powers go back to normal, and him and Misako have a relationship as close as the one he had with Garmadon.

And that's literally the wip.

Nya: Hey, Lloyd, what’s the new mayors first name?

Lloyd: His cat’s name is Mister Fuzzly Fuzzly

Nya: …

Lloyd: …What?

With his track record and absolutely terrible excuse of signature luck, you would've thought that nothing could surprise him at this point. But in his defence, Lloyd supposes that not ever expecting this warranted an excuse at least. Especially during a time like now.

...all he'd done was gone to sleep. For crying out loud – that was basically it, so how the hell –

Or; Five days after witnessing his brothers' deaths at the hands of the Colossus, Lloyd gets a chance, a chance to go back, live again and fix it all, while in the body of the kid he hates the most.

And surprisingly, it soon turns out that he isn't the only one with such luck. .

Yesterday's Tea: A wholesome Prompt

The boys get some Yesterday's Tea and gives it to Lloyd acting like it's some normal tea. The next day, Lloyd comes out of his room being tiny as heck in his gi and being really short. Everyone started to reminisce with the good old days, Jay wanted to hear his evil laugh, Kai got him back in his old sweater, Zane even went as far as dying his old Gi pink. The tea doesn't last more than a week because it wasn't as powerful as the real thing but they were able to finally give Lloyd a childhood, teaching him how to catch, bedtime stories, slumber parties, bringing him and picking him up from school. Everyone enjoyed their time, giving Lloyd the childhood he deserved. Then, the week passed and he eventually grew back to fit into his gi again but atleast he got to experience what every kid should have experienced in their lives. A wonderful, childhood.
