Mission: Green

" no! Yes! Wait no! Lloyd get out of here! They're going to kill your friends! They're going to hurt you badly!" Armen suddenly speaks out. He no longer wanted to play this game. Lloyd had been his friend... why should he betray him like this? No.
This wasn't right.
" Lloyd? And what's really going on Armen?" Lloyd pulls out his sword, pointing it at the younger red haired boy.
" I meant 77! They're going to kill you! They're many! Please.... get out of here while you still can...» Armen now tries to free himself from the ropes that was holding him back with the other league agents.
Lloyd looked at sensei Wu for a sign of what to do. He knew Armen better than the others and knew, or at least used to know when to trust him or not. And right now... he seemed real about what he had just told them.
" he is telling the truth " sensei Wu confirms and unties the boy. But the boy only.
" you're coming with me child.." Wu spoke with soft words, meaning no harm.
Lloyd however kept an eye on Armen, knowing he also was a talented pranker.
Armen shyly nods as he had never been held captive by the enemy nor had he been treated nicely by them, so this was unusual.

" do not go outside! They have spies everywhere... you should go through the caves!" Armen speaks up when Wu was about to open the door. Wu backed away and his eyes got eye contact with Cole. " is there a way to get out of here under ground?" He asks him.
Cole closes his eyes and reaches out his hands to sense the earth beneath him to see if there was anything. And yes... he could see lots of deep tunnels down there.
" yes sensei, he's right about the tunnels, we should hurry before it's too late." Cole responded and they all moved towards the basement door that had been a secret entrance to the hidden caves.
" hurry! Everyone! Let's get out of here! Cole, you hold onto the boy!" Wu commanded and handed Cole Armen. Armen obedient followed Cole who was holding onto him as he followed the others down the staircase to the basement. Jey was in the back and closed the door behind them, making sure it was locked.
" this way! " Cole pointed in a direction he knew would lead them to a safer place. Nya took the lead and the rest followed her as she went in the direction of where Cole had pointed.
The cave was lit up by small lanterns, following every path the cave went. The walls were rocky and it was wet from all the water that soaked through the small passages into the mountain from the storm outside.
" is it far?" Kai ask as it seems like there would be no end to the hallways.
" it's a while... but we can't stop. And we should keep quiet " Cole replied.
" hand the boy to me, I can take him while you help Nya lead the way, you're the one who can sense this cave." Jey offers Cole and he except it. He handed Jey Armen and he went in front to Nya.
Lloyd looked at him. Yeah, he had grown a lot since last time he had seen him. Armen had gotten quite tall, and his face had more of a grown up form. It being a bit more slim that he remembered.
" how are you...?" Lloyd smiled down at him, and Armen shyly smiled back.
" I'm .. alright... it's been a while " Armen replies .
« it sure has been... what happened to you guys...? After I saved you from the ice braking incident, you all were suddenly gone, sent away..."
Armen quietly nods.
" yeah... they said we had to move, because there was a new place where assassins like us were supposed to train and reach our full potential. But when we asked about you. They wouldn't say anything.... I actually thought... they might have killed you... they used to punish you had for almost everything you did..." Armen gave Lloyd a sad face.
He had truly been worried for him. They all had. Or, maybe not Morro, but he didn't count.
" what happened?"
Armen asks. Wanting to know.
" well.... I was brought to a dark room where I waited for.... I don't know... some few days, and then I was brought to overlord... I was given the title Renegade and I began doing missions for them...." Lloyd answered honestly. He couldn't remember much, but he told him what he did remember.
Jey looked at the two of them as he was listening to their conversation.
" did they really hurt you ...?" He asked, sounding sad and concerned.
" well... yeah... I guess they did..." Lloyd mumbled. He hadn't really been telling the others so much about his past. Only Garmadon had been the one he shared these dark secrets with. It felt more safe, and Lloyd felt like he understood him. He could relate to his own dark past.
" i wish I was there to protect you. I would never have let anyone hurt you. Neither you" Jey rubbed Armen's hair.
Lloyd had to smile at that. Jey was actually being nice to Armen, treating him like a younger brother. Seems like he now was going to trust people more easily, not jumping to conclusions right away.
" ouch! Stop that!" Armen complains, but Lloyd could see him trying to refuse a smile.

" going somewhere?"
A voice suddenly spoke and a dark shadow appears in from of them, blacking off the way.
The ninja suddenly stops and pulls out their weapons.
" who are you!" Kai burst out without thinking, as he always do.
" me? Why does that matter?"
That voice. Lloyd though to himself. It seemed utterly familiar.
" well I don't know! Maybe because this is your last time to let yourself be known before you get your ass kicked by us! One against 1... 4... 6 many ninja! You have no chance!" Kai spoke, proudly standing up to the stranger.
" who said I was alone?"
The voice spoke and suddenly they noticed the people hiding in the shadows.
" you spoke to soon Kai..as you always do!" Cole growls at Kai.
" well ... yeah" he mumbled and kept and eye out for everyone.
The first shadow, who obviously was the leader chuckles darkly at them. He slowly steps out of the shadow and this suit is being reviled.
Lloyd gasps at the sight.
" wait!?... you're...."
" the new Renegade, yes. I'm glad you noticed. It's been a while hasn't it, Green?"
" 45...." Lloyd whispers as he finally released who he truly was.
" Morro. It's Morro now. " Morro informs him and slowly takes off his mask. Revealing his face.
" and here before us, stands the Infamous sensei Wu, old and pathetic like I remember."
Wu stood there, staring at Morro in horror.
He remembered this boy. It was many years ago, not long after the disappearance of Garmadon's son, Lloyd, Wu had found Morro, searching in trash cans for anything to eat. He had felt so bad for the four year old that he had been so kind enough to bring him home to himself, trying to feed him anything, trying to do anything he could to help him. He took him in and trained him. Being careful of course, the boy was only four, but he had came dare to him.
But one day... when Wu had gone out to buy the boy some new clothes, he had returned to an empty house. And he never saw Morro again... until now.
" Morro... so this.. is what happened to you..." Wu whispers sadly.
" you know him sensei?!" Kai was shocked at this sudden revelation.
Wu only gives a short nod as confirmation.
" I took him in at the age of four... found him on the street... " Wu explains.
" weak old man" Morro replies, not caring.
His attention now turned to Lloyd and Armen.
" Armen.. you're free to go. Move away from them so I can kill them all off." Morro commands him.
Armen very quietly looks up at Lloyd, not knowing what to do. He was scared. He... he didn't want to go back.
" A...Armen what are you doing bro!?" A new voice appears from behind them.
Damon, Armen's twin brother removed his mask, looking over at him.
Armen didn't move. No, he wanted to stay with Lloyd.
" Armen get away from them! It's an order" Morro's voice grows darker. He didn't like where this was going.
He wanted to kill his greatest rival here and now. He wanted Lloyd to watch his new 'friends' die and suffer. He deserved that after betraying the league.
" Armen... don't..." a soft female voice spoke now, and this voice, Lloyd recognized right away.
