Falling (Lloyd X Reader)

Dark Bounty:

Garmadon stood in the bridge in front of the giant screens. Now that the dojo will be destroyed, we'll crush them before Lloyd ever becomes a true ninja. 

Then on another screen the footage of the Ninjaball Run was playing. We're here live at the Fourteenth Annual Ninjaball Run, where it looks like the Ninja are back in the race, and now have a long shot at winning this year's massive cash prize. 

They're trying to save the dojo? Will they ever quit? Argh! Set sail for the race at once. We can't let them win.  With that the Bounty took off for the race and soon the ninja would have another competitor. 

Jay's parents still had the lead in the race and were approaching the canyon quickly, they dropped their massive ball wheels to better suit the terrain. And hit the mailman with one of them as the wheels flew backwards. They took off, as the other competitors started fighting each other approaching the canyon. The Darkly's boys managed to knock the pirates out of the race. 

Why do I let you drive?! Soto complained. The royal blacksmiths continued to sing as they passed and the ninja quickly joined the race. But, the ninjas' luck wasn't changing that fast as a shadow appeared over them. 

OH, NO! GARMADON!

WHAT?

Lord Garmadon, are you going to use the Mega-Weapon? 

What's the point? Look at them. They're trapped like rats. Set all cannons to fire. Now that they're in our sights, they have nowhere to run. Garmadon smirked as the snakes prepared to aim one of the cannons. And they lit it on fire. 

AHH! We're sitting ducks! There's nowhere to run! 

And are those cannons? I would not want to be in the ultrasonic radar right now. 

Ugh, I can't watch. But you, the fans, can! In glorious high-definition! 

They can't get out of the way. 

I can't bear to look. 

Goodbye, Ninja. Garmadon said creepily as he aimed the cannon despite the speed each vehicle was moving at. Garmadon laughed. But, his son wasn't going to make things to easy for him.

[name] was terrified as Lloyd didn't have control of the dragon at the moment, he was holding on for dear life. 

Lloyd shouted at the Bounty not realizing what it was as the dragon flew straight into the ship. Allowing the cannonball to miss the ninja completely as they flew out safe and sound.

Lloyd, we helped the ninja! That's the Bounty, your father must've joined the race!

What? No way... he'll be after them this entire race.

Lloyd, [name], and the dragon got in front of the Bounty.

Nice going, Lloyd! Kai complimented.

Lloyd leaned forward to try to re-grab the reins but got flung forward off the dragon. He clung to the reins in front of the ninja.

You saved us! Cole told him.

I did? I mean, I did! Hey, what do you say we work together? 

Yeah! I say let's show them what we Ninja are all about!

NINJA, GO!

THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!

Uh, why don't you use your Mega-Weapon? 

Because I can only use it once before it saps all of my energy, then who's going to slap you around to get this ship moving?

OW!

GET THIS SHIP MOVING!

Okay, you heard the evil lord! Full speed ahead! 

No one shall defeat me. Even in competition. I will win this race. The crowd cheered as the ninja now had a chance in this race.

Looks like our leaders are just about to enter the second leg of the race...into the Birchwood Forest. 

The Royal Blacksmiths would hit a tree edge and go into a snow bank but they would keep singing even as they crash.

Oh, man... Cole said as the ninja passed his father.

We'll never get through those trees to catch up. 

We'll find a shortcut. Lloyd said. Up, boy! WHOA! Ha, ha! You actually went up! Ha, ha!

Lloyd! We don't have time for games, we're already behind!

Right, sorry! Let's do this! FOLLOW ME! Lloyd yelled as we dived through a clear path, the ninja took off after us. 

Lloyd whooped as we rushed forward, he leaned his head back and I swear I could feel his grin. Just a silly boy. I smiled, it's like last night except it's cold air right now.

Wow, ha,ha! He's getting the hang of it!

And it looks like we've made up the lost time! Cole said as they were now level with some of the other racers.

However, the skullkins noticed the similarity in the ninjas path and put it together. They aren't as dumb as they look. 

Working together... He commented. 

Not if we have anything to say about it. The other said.

And they grappled one of the paws of the dragon. They took a sharp turn and pulled the dragon down spinning. [name] held onto Lloyd for dear life as clung to the reins. The skullkins laughed as the dragon crash but forgot they were still attached and got caught on a tree as they came level with the dragon's crash spot. They wrapped around the tree, and the announcers commented on losing more racers. 

The skullkins started bickering as Lloyd and [name] checked on the dragon.

You okay there, fella? The dragon nodded. We got them back in the race. Lloyd said.

Let's just hope that they can continue the catch up without us. [name] told Lloyd as they slid down the dragon's side and huddled close. Who knew how long they'd be there.

Excuse us, but you're all friends for the boy dragon rider, aren't you? One of the announcers asked Darreth. Tell us how you feel.

I feel terrible. This is all my fault. The only reason he and the Ninja entered this race was to help save my dojo. If they don't win, developers are gonna tear it down, leaving all my poor kids without a training center to help enrich their tiny little lives. 

The crowd started to cheer NINJA and DOJO after they had heard Darreth's story. 

I don't know if you can hear it up there in the booth, but down here it appears the crowds have found their favored racer, the NINJA!

Oh, oh, I feel it alright. But they better buckle their seat belts, because up next is the most dangerous part of the race-- the Glacier Barrens!
