Your p.o.v
It has been several month since we have saved Darreths Dojo, and Zane becoming my new dad. Lloyd and I were on the bounty training with the ninja.
We were looking out upon a village that we were passing by. We saw some kids playing, we were envious of them. All we have ever done was train since the moment we had defeated the Great Devourer, we haven't had a chance to be just normal kids.
As we were watching the kids play, I hear Lloyd give out a sigh. I felt his pain. He has been really into comic books lately. He's been wanting to get the latest issue of Starfarer. To be honest, I have too.
"Lloyd?! (y/n)?!" We heard Kai calling out to us. We turned to face them. "Concentrate!" He yells. "Now that the bounty is in our possession again, we can train you two more effectively, but you guys will have to focus. One more time" Zane told us.
"Ah, but we've been training all day" Lloyd and I complain. "It's all to get you guys ready to face Garmadon. Now, in position" Cole commands us.
We walk over to our starting area as Lloyd and I sighed heavily. The ninja put on there masks as I hear Lloyd give out a fake yawn. The ninja then get in there fighting positions. "Ah, whatever" I said, Lloyd just faked yawned again.
Kai strikes first. Lloyd punched him, causing Kai to fly back towards the others. I too also gave out a fake yawn. Jay and Zane then came at us. Lloyd and I did Spinjitzu and they went flying back. Cole then came from behind, knocking both Lloyd and I to the ground.
We both laughed slightly, trying to get done with our training for the day. "That was fun" I said. "Are we done?" Lloyd asked. "Oh, come on, you two are better then this" Jay exclaimed. "What's on your guys mind?" Asked Jay.
"Well, uh..." I started. "The latest issue of Starfarer just came in at Doomsday Comics" Lloyd stated. "And it's a limited run" I told them. "So if we don't go out and get it" Lloyd continued. "It's gonna sell out" I told them. "Last they left off, intergalactic rogue Fritz Donnegan was surrounded by the Imperial Sludge" Lloyd said. "And if we don't find out if he gets out all right" I continued. "We might have our own doomsday" Lloyd finished.
The ninja looked at each other and then back at us. "The fate of Ninjago rest on your guys shoulders. As the Green and Purple Ninja, you two have a giant responsibility to hold. I'm sorry, but you two don't have time for such childish things" Kai told us.
We walked over to the railing of the ship, looking back out upon the children playing in the town. "Other kids get to play and have fun" I told them. "All we ever get to do is train" Lloyd told them.
We watched as the town slowly disappeared from out of sights. Nya then came bursting through the door. "Guys, there's been a break in at the Ninjago Cuty Museum of History. And the security cameras picked up you-know-who" Nya told them.

Yes I thought the same thing as I wrote that...let's just move on

"Garmadon" Cole said. "Hey We have to stop him before he uses the Mega-Weapon to start another one of his diabolical plots!" Jay complains. "Um..." Lloyd and I started, but we knew that they would never allow us to go and help them. We sighed in defeat, even before we asked. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. We can't go" Lloyd stated. "And it's safer if we stay here and train" I finished. The ninja nodded in agreement and then left.
Nya watch with us as we saw the ninja dive off into the city. Lloyd and I sighed once again. "Too old for comic books" I started. "And too young to fight" Lloyd finished. "When are they gonna make up their minds?" Lloyd and I asked Nya. "Come on pint-size's show me what you two got" Nya told us. This caused Lloyd to do, yet again, another fake yawn.
We had been showing Nya what we have been taught for hours, it started to get boring. We were all getting tired and decided to go to bed. I went to my room and fell asleep real quick.
***
I woke up to something shaking me. When I opened my eyes I saw that it was Lloyd. "Lloyd? What are you doing waking me up this early?" I asked him. He pulled out his comic book of Starfarer, I looked at him confused. "I'm gonna try and sneak out to go get the latest comic, do you wanna reread this with me before going to go get it with me?" He asked.
I smiled at him and gave him a big hug. "Of course! I love the comic!" I told him. "Alright, see you out on the training deck" Lloyd said as he left the room. I quickly got up and got dressed as fast as I possibly could.
I ran to the kitchen to grab a quick bite to eat. "Zane and them should be back already, I can grab a small something that Zane made and then head over to Lloyd and read the comic book with him" I thought to myself as I ran down the hall of the bounty.
When I got to the kitchen I saw that Nya and Sensei were the only people in the kitchen. "Where is Zane? And the others?" I asked them. "They are still out fighting Garmadon probably" Nya told me. I shrugged it off, grabbed a bagel and left. When I met up with Lloyd we started reading the comic book.
***
Hours have passed since the ninja had left, there was still no sign of them. Lloyd and I were still reading the comic book. It was taking much longer because we were starting to be sneaky and read it without anyone seeing, it didn't help that Wu and Nya kept coming to check on us. Lloyd and I didn't like it at all.
"Ah. They should be back by now" Nya said, a hint of worry in her voice. "Oh, I fear something horrible has happened to them" Wu claimed. Lloyd and I were reading when we heard his Uncle call us.
We switched the comic book for the ninja weapon book, that way it looked like we were studying. "You two are in charge of the Bounty, while Nya and I have a look around town" Wu said. "Uh...yeah, sure thing" Lloyd said as I looked at the book intensely. Wu then walked away and left with Nya.
Lloyd and I turned back to continue to read the comic book. "Ok, Fritz Donnegan. Looks like it's just you, Lloyd, me and the Imperial Sludge" I said out loud to no one.
***
After we had finished our comic we started to play some video games on the bridge. It was really fun. Lloyd and I kept getting ties. He would win, then I would win. It went back and forth.
Lloyd's p.o.v.
We were playing video games for hours when we heard the phone go off. "(y/n), can you answer that?" I asked her. "You answer it, you're closer" she told me.
I was reaching for the phone, struggling to answer it. I was trying to focus on the game. After it rang a few times I grabbed the phone, but then dropped it. "Destiny's Bounty" Lloyd answered. "Lloyd! (y/n)! It's Jay! Let me talk to Sensei!" Jay told us eagerly.
"Jay? Where are you? Why haven't you returned?" I asked. "Sensei is out looking for you" (y/n) yelled to the phone. "Ah! Apparently you need parental permission to take the bus and we can't seem to get out of the city" Jay told us. "Ah. What?" I said in confusion.
Jay was getting annoyed. "Never mind, it's a bit complicated. Just, meet us at Buddy's Pizza in ten minutes. And bring weapons" Jay demanded and then hung up the phone. "What do you think that was all about?" (y/n) asked. "How should I know" I told her.
We turned the game off and got up from our seats. "Let's go get the weapons" I told her. (y/n) nodded her head.
(y/n) and I ran over to the cabinet that held all the weapons. I grabbed the sword and scythe while (y/n) grabbed the nunchucks and shuriken's. Once we had them in our possession we headed out.
***
It took us about two hours to get to Buddy's Pizza, it took longer then Jay wanted us to get there. We were walking in the building and looking around for the ninja when we heard someone calling us.
(y/n) and I turned to face these four kids staring at us. "Beat it, brat. We're on a mission" I told them. "It's me, Kai" the kid claimed.
(y/n) and I looked at them and gasped. "Whoa, what happened?" (y/n) asked as we both dropped the weapons. "You're...uh, uh, small!" I yelled. This made everyone look at us for a bit.
"Keep it down. We're trying to lay low" Kai stated. "Your fathers Mega-Weapon not only turned us into kids, but unleashed a creature whose sole purpose is to hunt down ninja" Kai told us. "Typical Garmadon" said Cole. "And now, every time we try and tell someone, they don't believe us cause we're kids" Jay complained.
(y/n) and I laughed at the ninja complaining as we were picking up the weapons. "What's so funny?" Asked Kai. "Whoa. I guess you now know what it feels like to be treated different" (y/n) told them as we put the weapons on the table.
"Look, this is serious. If we don't turn big so we can use our Spinjitzu, we don't stand a chance against the Grundal" Zane said with worry. "Well, what about us? We know Spinjitzu" I told them. "Yeah, but you don't know the Grundal. We all need to be at full strength. What we need to do first is to find someone who might know more about how to defeat one of those things" said Kia
(y/n) and I then looked at someone reading a Starfarer comic book, that gave us an idea. "Lloyd, (y/n), focus!" Cole told us. "We are" said (y/n). "And we think we know just the guy" I told them.
***
It took us about thirty minutes to get to Ninjago Doomsday Comix. Once we walked inside I can see (y/n)'s face light up a bit, it was kind of cute. "You brought us to a comic book store?" Cole questioned us angrily. "Trust me. If there's anyone who knows how to defeat a monster that doesn't exist, we know just the person to talk to" I told them.
Kai turned me around to face him. "We're not gonna pick up your guy's stupid comic book. This is serious business" Kai told us. "Ah, look, a first edition Daffy Dale! I use to love that nut growing up" Jay said excitedly as he picked up the comic.
We then walked up to a desk with a guy sitting at it. "Fellas, meet Rufus McCallister, aka Mother Doomsday" (y/n) told the others. "Well, if it isn't Lloyd Hemorrhoid Garmadon and (y/n) (nickname) Overlord. Sorry, if you two came looking for the latest Starfarer. I'm all sold out" he told us. "Sold out!" I said panicking, this made (y/n) panic too.
We then looked back at Mother Doomsday. "Ah! Uh! Oh, uh, actually, Mother Doomsday, we need your help" (y/n) said. "Well color me intrigued" Doomsday said. "We have a problem. There's a Grundal on the loose, and we need to know how to deal with it" I told him.
"Ah, a theoretical question" Doomsday said. "Yeah, theoretical. Can you help?" (y/n) asked. Mother Doomsday then started to walk over to one of the comic books. "Dromaeosaurid Theropod Grundalychus. Whoo. Although extinct, there have been a plethora of film, television and comics exploring the mythology around the primordial predator. Supposedly, they always get their prey" said Doomsday.
"Sounds like he knows his stuff" Kai said. "Can it be stopped?" I asked him. "First thing you need to know is its thick shell-like hide is invincible to swords, scythes, nunchucks and throwing stars. So your imitations will do nothing to slow him down" Doomsday told us. "Swell" Cole said disappointed.
Mother Doomsday continued on. "Second of all, it's nocturnal and will only hunt at night" Doomsday finished. "Oh, good. It's still daylight, so we can relax for a bit" Jay said. This caused Mother Doomsday to look at him with a questioning look on his face. "Ahem. I meant, theoretically" Jay said with a small awkward laugh.
"And the only way to defeat it is with light. Like a vampire, with enough of it, it could potentially destroy him" Doomsday said as he walked over to a glass casing, opening it up. "If I had my weapons of choice, May I recommend the Illumisword. These are authentic replicas that would come in handy were you to live long enough to actually face a Grundal. And if swords are your thing, maybe I can introduce you in an authentic Ninja Gi, signed by the very ninja who saved the city" Doomsday said.
Kai walked up to the glass case, trying to grab one of the light swords. "Ah...we'll just take the light swords" said Kai. "Not so fast" Doomsday said, gabbing ahold of Kai's wrist. "This Starfarer combo pack can only be won in the Fritz Donnegan trivia battle-royale" Doomsday told us. We looked over towards the big group dressed in Starfarer outfits, there was a lot of people participating. "Do you have what it takes to be the best?" He asked. "You can do this Lloyd and (y/n)" Jay told us as he placed a hand on our shoulders. "Sign us up" I told them.
Off we went to join the games, we had confidence that we would win. Before we walked over to the games, we called and left Sensei a message telling him where we were and what had happened to the ninja. It was a quick message, but effective.
***
It has been a long and tough trivia game. (y/n) got out after the twentieth question, she was very disappointed and upset. She joins the ninja and I continued on. "It's down to the final two. This question is for Lloyd" said Doomsday. Everyone was chanting my name, even (y/n). "What is Fritz Donnegan's famous catch phrase?" He asked. "Fair? Fair is not a word from where I come from" I answered, it was a really easy question.
Now it was a tie between me and the other kid next to me, but I was ready to answer the next question and win. The whole crowd was cheering. "Final question. The first person to answer this will win" Doomsday said. I was ready. "In the latest issue of Starfarer, how does Fritz Donnegan escape the Imperial Sludge?" He asked us. "Uh, it, uh...but I haven't read the latest issue!" I told him.
"By reversing the polarity of the ship's gravity transducer" the kid next to me answered. "We have a winner" Mother Doomsday told the crowd, they cheered for the winner.
All of a sudden, there was a giant noise and the lights shook. "Who shut off the power?" Said Doomsday. The sign fell over, everyone started panicking. "It's here" Kai said. "What's here?" Doomsday asked. "You know that theoretical discussion we had earlier?" Jay asked, followed by a nervous laugh. "Not the..." Doomsday started to say.
The glass above broke a bit and we herd a roar, the Grundal was in sight. The crowd screamed and started panicking. "We've got to get out of here" I heard Zane yell.
We ran to the door, but it wouldn't open. The Grundal was running towards us. The glass shattered and the Grundal broke through the ceiling. Everyone was screaming, we had to save them. "Quick! This way!" Jay yelled as he ran over to the case where the ninja gi were at.
The ninja grabbed their gi and put them on, then they grabbed the illumaswords. "Hey mcnasty" Cole said. The Grundal turned around. "I thought ninja were on your menu" Cole told the Gundal.
They shined the light on the Gundal, it started to back away and freak out. Jay went to attack, but he jumped back and his light sword was damaged. The other three tried the same, but nothing worked. The Grundal went up to them, raised its claws, and smacked the ninja. The ninja then flew to the side.
The Grundal walked up to them and started to growl, it's teeth barring. The ninja screamed in fear. (y/n) and I got on the chair and slowly raised it up, the Gundal noticed us. "Not to worry!" Said (y/n). "We'll take care of this" I told them. I used my powers to shine a glowing green light, (y/n) made a bright purple fire appear in her hands.
The Grundal didn't like that. It hit (y/n) and I with its tail, knocking us to the floor. The ninja were about to be eaten when all of a sudden Nya kicked the door open. She yelled for everyone to get out of the building, they didn't argue with her and left in a hurry.
"Use this" my uncle told the ninja. He threw it over at Jay, he caught it. "What is it?" He asked. "It'll turn forward the hands of time, turning you old, and reducing the Grundal back to dust and bones!" Sensei told them. "But be careful. There's no turning back!" He warned them. "Grundal, prepare to be extinct" Jay told it. "Wait! But what will happen to Lloyd and (y/n)?" Cole asked. "They will grow old too" Cole told them as they looked back at us.
(y/n) was out cold, she wasn't waking up any time soon. "Just do it!" I told them. "You two will miss out on the rest of your childhood, dude!" Jay told us. "We can't do that to you two. It's not fair!" Kai told us. The Grundal growled and knocked the ninja down once again.
The elixir flew up in the air and landed on top of me. I grabbed a hold of the jar. I looked at (y/n), I didn't want anything bad to happen to her. I had promised her, since the moment we met, that I would protect her.
**flash back**
It's been about a few month since I've started Darklies School for Worst Kids. I was passing by a classroom where a bunch of kids were beating up someone. I ran over to see what was going on. "Hey! What are you guys doing?" I asked them.
They backed away to reveal a girl. She was covered in bruises. It also looked like her (h/l) (h/c) was cut terribly with scissors. She was crying on the floor. I felt bad for her. I helped her up and took her to the nurse to patch up what little cuts she had.
"I'm sorry that they did this to you" I told her as we walked around outside. "It's alright" she said, giving a small sniffle. "Hey, how about I show you how it works around here?" I asked her. "Really? You would do that for an ugly girl like me?" She asked.
I looked at her with a confused look on my face. "Ugly? Who said that you were ugly?" I asked her. "Some of the girls that were beating me up said that I was so ugly and it was the reason why my parents didn't want me any more" she told me. She started crying again.
I hugged her softly, as to not hurt her cause of the bruises. "You are not ugly" I told her. "Really?" She asked as she gave a small sniffle. "Of course not! In fact, I think you are the prettiest girl in the school" I told her. "Really? You think so?" She asked me. "Of course you are!" I said. "Thanks" she said as she looked down at the ground.
I looked down as well, then I thought of something. "Hey, how about you stick with me and I'll keep you safe. What do you say?" I asked her. "You mean...like friends?" She asked. "But I don't even know your name" she told me.
I stood up and put out my hand for her to grab. "Hi, I'm Lloyd. I would really like it if we were friends" I told her. She smiled, I felt my heart skip a beat. It was weird, but felt nice at the same time. "Sure" she said as she stood up and took my hand. We both shook hands.
"I promise you, from this day forth, I vow that I will not let anything bad happen to you. I will protect you till the very end" I told her. She smiled again, I had that same feeling. I have no idea what it is, but it didn't matter. "My names (y/n) by the way" she told me.
We never left each others side after that day. We stayed by each others side through thick and thin. And I would never do anything to hurt (y/n).
*flash back over*
I looked at the Grundal. "Fair? Fair isn't a word from where I come from" I said. I stood up and threw the elixir at the Grundal. The Grundal then started to freak out and turned back into bones. The ninja were turned back to normal, but as for (y/n) and I we were not.
We were teenagers. I looked at myself in shock. "I'm...older" I said. "The time for the Green and Purple Ninja to face their destiny has grown nearer" my uncle told us.
After that we grabbed (y/n) and left for home. It took us about three hours to get back, we had to walk all the way back home. It took to long.
When we got back we placed (y/n) in her bed. Her clothes were torn here and there, but nothing was exposed.
I looked at her and something inside me felt different, it felt way different then before. My heart was pounding so hard and so fast, it felt stronger then it ever had. It felt my palms sweating and it felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. I don't know what these feelings were or how to deal with it.
I kept looking at her laying there. I felt my face getting hot, it felt like it was burning. I don't know what or why this was happening. I ran out of that room as fast as I could.
Once I left the room the ninja found me and saw my face. "Hey, Lloyd, are you alright?" Kai had asked me. "Huh? Oh, uh, yeah I'm alright" I told them. "Are you sure?" Cole asked. "Yeah, why do you ask?" I asked them. "Cause your whole face is bright red" Zane pointed out. "I-it is?" I asked. "Are you blushing Lloyd?" Jay asked really slyly. "W-what?" I asked confused.
"Lloyd, do you...have a crush on somebody?" Jay asked again, he was giving me a weird look. I felt my face get even hotter. "W-what?! I-I don't a crush on anyone!" I told him. "Then why is your..." Jay started to say when all of a sudden we heard a scream.
Your p.o.v
I woke up on something very soft. I looked around and saw that I was in my room. I sat up on my bed. I placed my hand on my head where I was in pain. "Ow. What happened" I said. Then I froze. "Is that my voice? What happened to my voice?" I asked myself.
I let go of my head and looked at my hands. "They look normal" I thought. I got out of bed and stood up. "Uh..why is the room smaller? Did the ceiling come down or something?" I asked myself.
I looked at the mirror in the corner of my room. I ran over to the mirror and looked at myself in it. I stood there in shock. My chest got bigger, along with my ass. Not to mention my waste got smaller.
Everything was too much for me to handle. I had no idea what was going on or what on earth happened to me. My mind was racing with so many questions. It was so overwhelming that I did the first thing that came to mind. I screamed.
I ran out of the room and onto the training deck to see the ninja, but one of them I didn't recognize at all. I looked to my right and saw a fighting stick. I grabbed it and started to attack the strange man.
Lloyd's p.o.v.
(y/n) ran out onto the deck. "She looks scared" I thought to myself. (y/n) then looked to her right and grabbed a fighting stick. She ran towards me and started swinging it at me. "She must not recognize me" I told myself. I dodged every swing she gave me. "I have to calm her down" I thought.
She kept swinging it left and right, trying to land a hit. I knocked the staff out of her hands and kicked it away from her. I then tripped her and pinned her down. She looked really scared. "(y/n), calm down" I told her. "Who are you? And how do you know my name?" She asked. She was panicking. She kept trying to brake free from my grasp, but she couldn't.
"(y/n), (y/n), calm down!" I told her. "Let go of me!" She told me. She started crying, this made me feel bad. "Lloyd! Where are you?! You promised me that no one will hurt me again" Said (y/n) as tears were streaming down her face, she was very scared. "(y/n), look at me" I told her.
She did what I asked. "Who are you? Where's Lloyd?" (y/n) asked. "(y/n), don't be scared. I'm not going to hurt you" I told her. "That's what they all say. That's even what the kids in school said before they started beating me up" she told me. "(y/n), it's alright. It's me, Lloyd"I told her. "Lloyd?" she said.
(y/n) looked at my face. I could tell that she was studying my face, seeing if what I told her was true. "Lloyd" she looked at me with consent in her eyes. I let go of hers wrists and let her up. "Lloyd...what happened to us?" She asked me.
***
After I explained everything to her she gave me a big tight hug, I hugged her back. I helped her get a change of clothes. After I turned around, so she could change, I started to head to the door. Before I could open the door I felt a tug on my shirt. I turned to see that (y/n) had grabbed ahold of me.
"Hey Um...Lloyd" she started. "Yeah, what is it?" I asked her. "Could...could you stay here...with me tonight?" She asked. My eyes widened. "I don't feel like being alone tonight" (y/n) told me. I turned around and smiled. I placed a hand on her head and moved it side to side. "Sure thing (y/n)" I told her.
I had set up a spot on the floor for me to sleep on. I was about to lay down to go to sleep when I heard (y/n) speak up. "Um...think you could Um...lay in the bed with me?" She asked. I felt my face get hot again, my heart was racing too. "U-um...s-sure thing" I told her.
I walked over to the bed, laid down and covered myself up. As soon as I did, I felt sleep take hold of me.
Your p.o.v.
After Lloyd laid down in the bed with me I felt something strange happen to me. I felt my heart racing, my palms were sweating, my face grew hot, and it felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.
I heard snoring. I looked and it was coming from Lloyd. "What is this feeling? It feels stronger and different then before" I thought. With that, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
