“UNAGAMI WILL CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENT.”

“UNAGAMI WILL CHOOSE YOUR OPPONENT.”

Lloyd watched the screen in front of him flip through various characters for him to potentially face off. He was shocked to find that many of them were people he knew from his life, and more importantly, people he was reluctant to fight–either friends like Clutch, or especially bad enemies like Aspheera. He thought he even saw an image of Harumi flicker onscreen for a second, and his heart did a little leap as he feared what he would do if he had to fight her.

The screen froze and disappeared before he could have a good look at what opponent had been chosen for him. Rows of glowing blocks materialized in front of him and formed a person.

Lloyd took in a sharp breath. He felt so numb, he almost dropped his sword.

It was worse than Harumi. Much, much worse.

In a quivering voice, he softly called, “Dad?”

It wasn’t just Lord Garmadon. It was Sensei Garmadon–uncorrupted, with two arms, gray hair, and a friendly smile. His eyes were soft, unlike the harsh red glow in his oni form, and he wore the same robes he had passed on to Lloyd the night he sacrificed himself. The wrinkles around his eyes crinkled as he smiled at the green ninja.

“Lloyd,” his father greeted warmly.

Lloyd’s limbs shook. Many emotions flashed through him at once–pain, nostalgia, yearning–but he chose to focus on his confusion. “You’re supposed to be corrupted,” he said.

Garmadon walked toward him. Lloyd knew he should have been tense, but there was too much comfort in that warm smile, and in the slight limp in his gait that Lloyd had grown so familiar to in his years spent training in his dojo.

“That monster is not me,” Garmadon promised, then spread an arm out for a hug. “I’m sorry. We have a lot of missed time to catch up on.”

Lloyd felt a sob push its way to his throat. He knew it wasn’t very leaderlike, but tears welled up unwillingly in his eyes. He dropped his sword and embraced his dad, and suddenly he felt twelve years old again, hugging his dad after a long day of training to use his golden powers and fight without fighting.

There was a dull pounding on the forcefield around the arena. Jay was yelling something inaudible past the barrier, but none of that mattered to Lloyd. All that mattered was soaking up the soft silk of Garmadon’s robes, the warmth from his form, and–

A sharp pain flared across Lloyd’s back. He cried out and pushed himself away from his dad. Garmadon stood back, and in his hand was a dagger dripping with pixelated blood.

Lloyd gripped his injury and stared at Garmadon. “Dad…what…why?”

Garmadon’s expression didn’t change. He still wore that warm smile and those soft eyes, but paired with the dagger, they had become unnerving.

“I’m sorry, son,” Garmadon said, not sounding sorry at all. “I have to do this. Surely you understand.”

Lloyd looked up and finally noticed the red health bars that had appeared above both their heads. A pain squeezed at his heart, more painful than the injury in his back.

An opponent. He was an opponent.

Garmadon stabbed him again, too swiftly for him to see, just as skilled as the real Sensei Garmadon had been. Lloyd hissed. The health bar above his head shortened.

The green ninja hurriedly picked up his sword from the floor and held it aloft. The two fighters circled each other slowly.

“You don’t have to fight,” Garmadon said, his voice as smooth as running water, same as Lloyd remembered. “Just surrender and turn back.”

Lloyd glimpsed at where Jay and Nya stood, trying fruitlessly to pound their way into the arena and yelling something Lloyd couldn’t hear. He knew what they were trying to say now. This wasn’t the real Garmadon, and Lloyd knew it.

But it looked like him. It sounded like him. It even moved like him. The way the sun shone against his skin and made his hair look like glowing silver made him seem realer than any photo he had of him.

Garmadon lunged again, and Lloyd narrowly blocked his blade. He knew he should attack back, but the weapon felt heavy in his hands. The tears in his eyes were threatening to spill over.

It was cruel, as simple as that. Lloyd would have gladly fought harumi, or even his dad in his corrupted form, but this…

“I can’t,” he croaked, his eyes stinging and his chest sobbing. “I can’t fight you. I don’t want to.”

But the lines of code wearing his father’s face left him no choice.

I've Found The One

Lloyd, after finally giving dating another chance : Guys, I think I've found the one.

Kai (chokes on coffee) : W-What—

Nya : See? I told you that there's other fish in the sea.

Zane : Congratulations on overcoming your traumatic experience, Lloyd.

Jay : Why, won't you look at that! Damn I thought I'd have to set you up with the new Starfarer lead—

Cole : Wow. Who's the lucky girl?

Lloyd walks to the fridge while smirking at Cole : ....meet cake.

How did hellspawn react to Lloyd Oni form?

She's just...frozen. There's no way that thing attacking the Overlord is her dad even though she just saw him turn into it, right?

Sure, she's seen him angry before. She's seen him frustrated — she's seen him annoyed on several occasions. But she's never once seen the rage. Not from him. That's never been him.

Yet, it currently is now. And it's... quite a sight.

She ends up seeing it again after crystalized— apparently, one of her grandfather's awkward attempts to mend things with her dad just happens to be helping him further explore and control his Oni side. If Lloyd had his way he'd pull himself as far as possible from that part of himself and never think of it again, but Wu makes him do it with a "Face your fear before it faces you", a.k.a another dose of hated wisdom no one asked for.

In the end, he's standing in the courtyard with the father who made the fucked move of faking his death, and is now letting him help him.

And of course, there just has to be a whole crowd secretly watching even though he'd very much like it if they minded their own businesses but in his experience, nothing ever goes his way.

At some point, Garmadon voices his curious thoughts of whether hellspawn has an Oni form. Lloyd adamantly told him there's no way in hell he's dragging her into this and Garmadon kept quiet...for now.

One night, Lloyd got really violent—apparently Lord G pissed him off so horribly just to get him to turn into an Oni and as a result, he ended up destroying most of the courtyard while attacking Garmadon. His friends tried to step in to get him under control but that didn't work—nothing worked until hellspawn called him fearfully causing him to suddenly stop what he was doing and look at her. Realizing she's genuinely afraid of him, Lloyd turns back.

But as time passed, Lloyd started getting more in control of his Oni form to the point he has no problem whatsoever with walking around the monastery in it. Oni are a LOT more overprotective over their young—which is annoying to hellspawn but his fur and horns are nice.

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.

Where is hellspawn jawing dragon rising?

As much as I'd like to keep her with Lloyd throughout the entire time he was alone, it's uh...*sweats nervously*...it's not gonna happen.

(Fuck, this feels like commiting a crime, but I need to keep things realistic)

Does Lloyd deserve to be happy during his time alone? Well, yes. Is he going to be? Um, no.

:(

...I'm so, sorry green bean.

So she gets separated from Lloyd during the Merge and he hasn't been the same since, just staring at the damaged stuffed dragon in his hands as though that's gonna tell him where she is. Kai does his best to be there for him but there's only so much he can do. In the end, he makes a promise to himself to bring her and everyone else back to his baby brother and leaves with the bounty.

What's the time skip between crystalized and dragons rising again? 5 years? If that's actually confirmed, that would make her a teenager. FSM, how time flies.

And poor Lloyd. He knows he's missed it.

Every time he looks at Arin and Sora, he ends up thinking of her—especially when he sees Sora. He initially maintains a cheery teacher persona around his two students but it slips when Sora finds a photograph of a blonde haired little girl who's with Lloyd somewhere in the monastery. She calls Arin to check it out, and Arin—the ever obsessed fan boy tells her everything.

This is adorable. ❤️

Here is a full piece to celebrate me finally watching ºNinjago: Dragons Rising.” It was really good and so far my favorite is Arin❤️

Also don’t mind the little girl in between Lloyd’s legs, that is an un-named fan daughter I got him.(he’s doing her hair for her In pigtails)

Here Is A Full Piece To Celebrate Me Finally Watching ºNinjago: Dragons Rising.” It Was Really Good

Arin: SORA HOLD HIM BACK

Sora: : I CAN’T HE’S SLIPPING-

Arin: AHHHHHHHHH-

Bb dragon: Get ‘em Ryuu! Get ‘em!

Lloyd: *Ahhh, sweet sweet chaos… how I’d missed it…*

Under the cut there is the un-blurred version’s

Here Is A Full Piece To Celebrate Me Finally Watching ºNinjago: Dragons Rising.” It Was Really Good
Here Is A Full Piece To Celebrate Me Finally Watching ºNinjago: Dragons Rising.” It Was Really Good

I’m gonna be honest with you this AU was heavily inspired by @namelysane ‘s Hellspawn au, only that my un-named hellspawn was born during the merge where all the dimensional chaos caused Lloyd’s sealed golden magic to go haywire and create the dragon baby.

The idea for this au came to me while watching dragons rising and realizing that Lloyd spend a very long time alone in the monastery after the merge (I head canon in this au that it was give or take about 7 or 6 years?)

I thought that was hella depressing to be alone for so long with zero to very little knowledge of how your friends and family are(honestly a terrifying situation)

So I gave him a daughter who he will be able to put his attention and care into, who will help fill in the void left by his /now missing/ family somewhat, to remind him to eat, bathe, and sleep, someone who can help him live in and not just survive while alone.

IDK, I might be wrong about this and it might change but this is my au canon so you have to deal with it❤️

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?"

Got tagged by @manjirian !! Holy h e c k. I don't name my art stuff so this is gonna look wtf 😭 there's no description at all lmao-

(also most of these are probably WIPs that I'm never going to finish XD)

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs. I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DnD campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!
