Kai's Vision In The Phantasm Cave Was Simple. Very Simple. All There Was Was A Mirror, About The Same

Kai's vision in the phantasm cave was simple. Very simple. All there was was a mirror, about the same height as him, with a black stand and body. It swayed a little in the wind, the wood creaking, maybe due to age or decay. At first, he was confused. Maybe he looked around and couldn't see anything. Maybe he just shrugged and cracked a joke about missing his reflection. Besides, what's so bad about a mirror?

Then the air changed.

Maybe it grew thicker or carried something more foreboding. Deadly. Maybe the ground felt slightly rougher, jagged rock digging into his soles more evidently, harder to ignore. Maybe his skin felt itchy, like something was crawling under it.

Maybe everything suddenly became familiar.

Then he looked back at the mirror.

And it was him.

No, not him. Him. Not the Kai, who was reliable and strong, the Kai who was everything a ninja and hero should be. It was the ugly, dirty part of him. The one who gave up their morals in order to survive. The one who he'd long thrown away and pretended never existed.

The real him.

Back in his leather robes and monster fur coat, the smell of dirt thick on his form, the katana he forged with his blood sweat and tears attached to his side. Like it always was. His face was covered, his hat planted firmly on him. It was like he never left. Or it never left him. Something wet coated his arms as his reflection stared back at him, unblinking.

And maybe Kai thought, painfully, that it was over.

Then, as suddenly as it started, everything was back again.

The whiplash was strong, but years of resilience made him good at hiding those things. He quietly looked around, maybe pinched his arm, making sure he was back. For real this time.

He could hear Nya behind him, telling Lloyd that she broke out because she knew it wasn't real. And she's right. She knew Jay could never forget her, and because of that she knew her vision wasn't real, just a fake scenario made to test her.

But Kai's vision was.

It was real.

His fear wasn't becoming a monster,

It was returning to being one.

Thinking About How Zane Just Came Up With A Plan To Gain The Trust Of The Sons Of Garmadon, That Involved

Thinking about how Zane just came up with a plan to gain the trust of the Sons of Garmadon, that involved letting Cole get captured. (Yes, in case it wasn't clear, it was part of this plan to get Cole to sing and put on the "wrong song" to get the spotlight on him.)

And the best part of that plan was... Zane had no plan for rescuing Cole. Zane, the calculating machine, didn't bother to map out an escape plan for Cole. He just fully believed that Cole would be able to escape on his own.

And you know what? Cole did escape on his own, using nothing but his own wit and strength (and terrible singing). And he never bore a grudge against Zane for using him and putting him in danger without even telling him first.

These guys just have 1000% trust in one another and I am here for it.

The ninja and the mech and the dragon having to hang out with each other without Kai is so funny in a tragic way.

Lloyd: What’s your name?

Mech and Dragon: …

Lloyd: How do you know Kai?

Mech and Dragon: ….

Lloyd: Great talk. Okay. Yeah. Nice to meet you, guys?

We also know very little about them other than the fact they are probably not the most upright moral people just because of their circumstances. But I feel like the only information they’d give out is that Kai did everything he could to get home to them. Everything.

Ominously said. But they mean it kindly.

(Context here)

YES YES YES YES YES this is exactly what happened. They would be quiet not out of disrespect but out of awkwardness. Maybe because they were the people Kai was blabbering about while on their journey to the city of temples, and his descriptions of them were a little... overdramatic. Then again, you can't really stop Kai "family man" Smith from bragging about his family (and trying hard not to forget them)

Kai: Oh and don't get me started on my sister, Nya. She's strong, confident, the second best looking in our team if I must say, and did I mention she was the original samurai x? She was able to build all those intricate and complex gadgets at such an early age, and managed to keep it a secret too! Her power over water is also great, and even though she could do better in terms of love interests, I guess Jay is good enough. Oh, and don't forget, she even beat the preeminent when she unlocked her full potential! She's amazing, isn't she?

Rusty and Daidan, not knowing half of what the fuck he's saying: Sure, that's great sweetie.

Kai: It is! Then Lloyd is—

Rusty: O-oh, isn't that the city? I think we're getting close. So. We should focus lest we get off course.

Kai: Ah. Right. I'm sure I can multitask. Lloyd is the green—

You hardcore started cooking with oddy!Kai I just imagine how Nia and Lloyd would be freaking out/worrying about Kai especially by his appearance and entrance

(Tips hat) Oh, why thank you, Anon! My brain has also become fried by this au. I can hear it sizzling.

Context here ok go read it first!!

THEY WOULD PANIC. HEAVILY. Imagine seeing your supposedly dead brother walk in with a dragon and a sentient mech while just being oddly violent out of nowhere, looking completely different—scars, darker outfit, flinchy—and Nya’s first reaction is pure shock before she goes into full panic mode. Lloyd’s trying to stay calm but he’s internally freaking out because Kai was his first sensei and now he’s like this?? looking like a very dirty feral cat??? It feels like the start of a bad pun.

Thanks so much for the ask! The worms rejoice!!

Oh My Fuck.

Oh my fuck.

It's a loop. And the masters of fire are in the middle of it.

You can see at the start that the centipede eats who I assume is a fire elemental, who then goes through a cycle to become one of the centipedes. Then, right below it, you can see a cluster of EGGS that look eerily similar to the ones inside the centipede. Basically:

Centipede: Eat

Person: become centipede

Personpede: lay egg

Egg: become person

Repeat

Imagine Kai, after finding this out, just looks at his hands and arms and face.

And sees a monstrosity.
