Why thank you :3 I try
Thinking about Kai's fighting style in the realm of monsters, and how creative he had to get whenever he was (on the rare occasions) fighting without Rusty or Daidan to help him.
All of those monsters are impossibly bigger than him, and he needs to use something to hoist himself up in order to actually reach the head and neck. Him using his fire to heat his soles so it sticks to the skin in a mess of boiling flesh. Using daggers to anchor himself repeatedly to go upwards, then finishing it quickly with a slash to the back of the neck and hoping it falls forward instead of backward.
Then when other monsters gather around the new corpse, littered in a linear pattern of scars and burns, all in a line, same as the other few, a rumor spreads among the half sentient monsters.
A giant centipede of fire and steel, some say.
It finds a victim and coils around it, using its hundreds of legs to constrict it before finishing off in one strike, one says in awe.
It never eats it prey, leaving it to rot on the ground instead to show dominance, another says to its mate.
Even with its size, it's never been seen. It burrows underneath the ground, waiting for a chance to burst out and strike, a mother says to its young. Warning.
And the rumor grows, twisting into something more fantastical. Until one day, a lizard made of rotting wood and bone stumbles upon Kai, right on top of another monster, covered in black blood, catching his breath. The lizard scurries to its nest, and the rumor twists into something closer to the truth.
There is no centipede, it screeches. More gather around it.
It's small, and that's its way of trickery. It hides in plain sight, waiting for something to grow confident. To grow complacent and take its size for weakness.
It moves like no other. In flashes of red and orange and waves of blood and muscle. The fire and shadow are fond of this one, always hovering around it. Keeping it unseen.
Its eyes are as hollow as the abysmal ocean, devoid of mercy. Any it sees are guaranteed death, and those it spares are left mangled. Dying of their injuries. It never eats, never takes, only kills in slashes of flame and iron. It was never seen until now, no name it holds either.
After the rumor spreads further, more seeing the nameless monster in person, Kai develops a title. A warning for the ones who know it. There are many, some still calling it the fire centipede, another calling it the killer of giants, but there is one name that has gained popularity. That has made its way into the stories of every mother whispering to their young.
And now, when Kai pulls out his sword in a blaze of yellow and red, he finds that some scurry away. Screeching something he swore he could make out.
Fire Demon, they scream in fear, running off. Fire Demon, they cry out, warning others. Fire Demon, they think in horror, as none have survived it.
Fire Demon.
This is hilarious

Kai after he gets home, looking in the mirror and just. Practicing.
His smile. His laugh. His quips. Practicing how to seem like himself so Lloyd doesn’t worry.
This face speaks to me on a spiritual level
kai finally sleeping in his own bed back at the monastery but he can’t actually rest because he was so used to being alert constantly that his body refuses to let him
Monstrosity is a tragedy in disguise because Kai didn’t even know what the merge was. All he knew was that he went into a weird, glowing storm and landed in a little nightmares game. He didn’t even know if the others were alive because he didn’t know where they were even after weeks of nonstop searching. He didnt know there were more places to look. He didn’t know the realms had merged. He didn't know there was more than that. He didn't know. He was just trying to survive.
And if he wasn't busy scrambling to survive, he was probably thinking. Thinking how they were gonna win this. Thinking how they were gonna come out on top this time. He probably spent nights just wide awake strategizing like crazy. Wondering who was behind turning ninjago into a realm of monsters.
And it's just... sad. He fought everyday while clinging to the small hope that they were alive, somewhere. Somehow. And when he found the Bounty, found places outside of the hell he lived in for years, found Lloyd, found out about the merge, can you imagine his relief? Or horror? Or both?
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH "I have to endure." "I have to continue." "So I can see them again." "I can't lose myself." pfp creds to Kindaasrikal :)
