with the fact that The Administration is canonically part of the realm of madness, it makes me wonder if Jay didn’t lose his memories in the actual merge. what if, after the merge, The Administration found him. what if, Jay, being SMART because he is smart, he just acts like a dumbass, decided to stay there because The Administration collects and captures and is essentially the center of all bureaucracy. what if Jay figured that would be the perfect place to try and find everyone, using The Administration’s VERY expansive system? Zane really was captured by The Administration, so it’s not a ridiculous thought. but…The Administration is part of the realm of madness. maybe Jay’s memories left him slowly. maybe one day, he couldn’t quite picture the monastery. the next, the bounty. the memories of their missions, slowly dying away, leaving him only with odd feelings anytime someone mentioned a wish or the sea. maybe one day he woke up and just…forgot. the realm of madness, taking another person.

Okokok, here's a thought Morro keeps DYING and can't seem to stay alive (even in death), and yet Lloyd can't seem to stay dead! I mean, seriously, how many times has Morro died? How many times has Lloyd died and then woken back up?

HEAD CANNON(ish?)

So... in Ninjago ghosts die in water, right? Like they touch water then sorta poof away and 'respawn' in the Preminient. If the preminient becomes submerged in water, it dies, and from dr we know it goes to the departed realm and yadda yadda.

Well, Sensei Garmadon was human and still alive when the Preminient went down into the water.

So... im guessing the Preminient 'poofed' away... leaving Sensei Garmadon in the water to drown?

...Why do I feel so sad all of a sudden...

In Ninjago, all the Ninjas are, like, addicted to caffine.

Lloyd: Reign, all the way. He gets some more from the gas station when they refuel the bounty, much to the other's dismay. (Fun fact, Reign contains nearly 2 times the amount of caffeine a Monster energy drink does.)

Zane: batteries 5hr energy, which he puts into his water to maintain something that symbolizes health. Thank you very much.

Kai: Monster, he keeps a few cases in his room too.

Nya: A Latte with wayyyy too much creamer

Jay: Legit any energy drink is fine, but he prefers Celcius (Don't let Kai and Lloyd know he steals from them).

Cole: dark coffee. Just straight up black coffee.

Pixal: she chases around the ninja, practically begging them to stop drinking so much caffine because its so unhealthy. What she won't admit is that sometimes she takes some of Zane's 5hr energy and dumps it in her water.

Dragons Rising Season 3 Spoilers.

About my favorite ninja (though they're all great) Lloyd!

I've seen a lot of posts about Lloyd seeming different and quieter in S3, and tbh, I didnt even notice until I opened Tumblr after finishing the seasons.

That being said, looking back, yeah. He seems... spacey. He's hanging back and letting Sora and Frak do the fighting, and he smiles one time in the first episode, and it looks... bitter? Sarcastic? It's when he's telling Frak about how similar he is to Arin.

I'm sure im repeating things people have already said, sorry, but just.... I think it's a trauma response. Like, we know that when faced with overwhelming things (*cough cough,* visions, *cough cough*) Lloyd tends to avoid and bury those things, and tbh I think all the trauma from... legit his entire life everything is catching up to him. It's so sad for me to watch like what are you doing to my precious ninja that I love care for so dearly?

And the thing with Arin' parents being dead? Lloyd has like no reaction at all and I just- can't. Like, what do you MEAN "Im sure Master Wu had a good reason?!" Poor Arin probably thinks Lloyd hates him for joining Ras.

I can't this season. I can't.

On a different note, I wonder what Lloyd's reaction will be to when/and/or/if he meets Morro. Some part of me would love it if Lloyd had a panic attack or something.

Also, wouldn't it be cool if Lloyd ended up saving Morro and in order to save Morro, Lloyd had to get possessed by him again?

[iluna-eclipse]

HEAD CANNON

In Ninjago after Lloyd is free from being Posessed, he goes out and buys hair dye in an outrageous color (not black or green) and refuses to wear green for a few months because he kept seeing Morro in the mirror.

(More details after the cut)

Durring this period of time, nobody says what they all know. Kais reaction to this is simple: "Nice hair, Lloyd, looks sick"

Nya is like "oh, you changed your hair, cool!"

Zane gives him a worried look, "the new outfit suits you."

Jay, knowing full well why Lloyd has made these changes (everyone does) invited him to play video games, and doesnt say anything as Lloyd changes his avatar to match his new color scheme/look.

Cole smiles, "I like the design!"

Pixal helps him find hair dye that lasts longer than the cheap stuff he grabbed from the store in a panic.

Wu frowns, but let's it go, knowing Lloyd needs time.

Nobody says anything about Morro, or the reason behind Lloyds sudden changes.

None of them admit it helps them too, because they kept seeing Morro in Lloyd.

After a few months, the ninja begin to grow worried. Lloyd has switched out the colors a few times, but never used green in anything. When they begin asking if he's okay, he brushes them off, irritated.

Finally, he gets so annoyed he lets the dye fade out and switches back to green. He avoids the mirror because he keeps seeing Morro. He still cries himself to sleep, but he's the green ninja, and he doesn't have a choice.

With the revert back to normal, the ninja are happy he's 'okay' again, and Lloyd doesn't tell them otherwise.

Chapter 4: Old things anew

When Victoria was little, Garmadon began to notice a few odd things with her in the land of madness. Like how anytime they sat down to eat, she would meticulously seperate the different food categories. Meats went with meats, vegetables went in another spot, fruit, dairy, starches, grains, all seperated. If it was a sandwich, she seperated the layers too. Later, they discovered she had OCD, with depression. The worse her depression got, the more she coped with the OCD behaviors. Slowly, Gramadon had helped his daughter overcome her issues, and their existence had been a peaceful one, dispite his yearning for power, she was the daughter he needed by his side, equally as vengeful. The Great Devourorer had poisoned her veins as well, and together they would rule Ninjago, and they would gain power in the realm of madness.

...

"She went a got drunk." Lloyd spat, walking into the Monostary with Victoria behind him. "Shes 17, not even an adult yet."

Garmadon turned his questioning gaze towards hers, but Victoria wouldn't meet his eyes. "Hm... well, thank you for finding her, Lloyd."

Lloyd huffed, but walked away, "im going to bed." He grumbled, sour because he knew he wouldn't be sleeping much due to nightmares.

Garmadon frowned. 'Good, if his eye bags say anything, he needs it.' He thought to himself. Garmadon turned to Victoria, "Victoria..." he placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Don't. I just -" she sighed, shoulders slumping as she ran a hand through her long silky hair. "I don't want to hear it." She carefully brushed his hand off. "It's fine." She got up, turning towards the stairs, "im going to bed." She mumbled. Cole walked in just as she disappeared around the corner. He had been crashing at his place more and more often ever since the battle with the crystal king.

...

Stair one, stair two, stair one, stair three, stair two, stair four, stair three stair five. Touch your doorframe three times, flick the light on, back off again, and then on, and lay down on your bed, get up and unfold the covers and-

"What are you doing?" Victoria jumped, letting out a yelp like a wounded animal and drawing her sword on the intruder. It was the black ninja... Cay? Cai? Cole. It was Cole... right? Cole spoke up, hands raised, "woah, calm down, calm down."

"What do you want?" She spat, keeping her sword raised, position tense and coilled.

"Chill, I was wondering what you were doing, acting like that."

She turned fully towards him, putting the sword away, but keeping her hand on its hilt. "None of your business." She growled out.

Cole looked at her for a long moment, then sighed, "listen, it might not be my business, but what you were doing seemed a lot like OCD like behavior... are you okay?"

Her eyes narrowed. "Im fine." She spat stiffly. "Get out of my room."

"Alright, alright, I'm going." Cole left, shooting her one last concerned glance.

Victoria took a deep breath, rolled over her covers, and layed down, plugged in, then unplugged, then plugged back in her phone, tapped the front camera on her cell 4 times before unlocking it. It would be okay, or at least she hoped.

...

Come the morning, she stayed in her room. She didn't have the will to get up, and what would she even end up doing anyway? Eating breakfast wasn't an option, and burning things wasn't either. No, she would stay right here in her bed. Scrolling.

Around noon, Garmadon came knocking at her door, telling her it was time for lunch. She just called "shut up." At him and threw her pillow at the door for good measure. She didnt feel like moving and had no reason to. Couldn't they just respect that?

By dinner, she hadn't moved all day, had a pounding headache, and was dehydrated, not to mention hungry. With a sigh, she got up, ignoring the way the room spun and brushed out her tangled hair until it lay flat against her back. She looked down at the pj's she wore. Whatever. Too much effort. She padded downstairs barefoot, yawning. Great. All the ninja were at the table, eating something the she vaguely registered as her Father's cooking.

The Ninja glanced up at her, some giving her small smiles. Pathetic. She should've changed her clothes... suddenly, she felt extremely self-conscious. She grabbed a roll off the table and decided to go back to her room. She wasn't that hungry anyway.

She followed the same process to get up into her room, highly aware of the stupid ninja watching her. Couldn't they mind their own business?!

Stair one, stair two, stair one, stair three, stair two, stair four, stair three stair five. Touch your doorframe three times, flick the light on, back off again, and then on, and lay down on your bed, get up and unfold the covers and get in, put the bread in your lap, put your phone in your lap, pick up the bread.

She carefully and meticulously peeled the crust off the roll, eating it before picking at the rest of it. Stupid OCD. Stupid habits she couldn't seem to shake. With a sigh, she threw the rest of it into the trash can, taping her phone camera 4 times before opening it and continuing to scroll.

The evening dragged.

At some point, Lloyd tried knocking on her door, but she just yelled at him to go away, not bothering to unlock the door. Not long after, Cole also tried asking her to just open her door. She buried her face in her pillow, not wanting to move or get up or respond, and ignored him until he left. At some point, she fell asleep again, her mind a foggy sluggish haze of boredom and depression.

...

*earlier that morning....*

Lloyd woke up, already feeling a pounding headache in the base of his skull. Weeks of sleep deprivation were leaving him more tired than ever, not that anyone seemed to notice or care.

With a yawn, he dragged himself into the shower, letting the warm water relax him. He'd woken up at least 6 times due to nightmares, and it was getting worse every night. He brushed his teeth and changed into his green Gi, trudging down to eat breakfast. Tonight for dinner, the other ninja were coming over, he recalled dully.

Walking downstairs from his room, he grabbed an apple off the table and sat down st the kitchen counter, watching Garmadon make a cup of coffee. "Want some? You look like you could use it, son."

Lloyd started blankly at his father, tiredness itching at him. "Sure." He responded dully.

Lloyd jumped slightly as his father placed a mug before him. "Oh." He yawned, "thanks."

Garmadons brows furrowed, "are you okay, Lloyd? You look quite tired."

Lloyds hand tigtened its grip on his leg underneath the table, anger causing through him before he relaxed. Garmadon was only trying to look out for him after all.

With a yawn, Lloyd finished his breakfast and began what would surely be a long day.

Chapter 3: Two halves of a whole

Lloyd stared at His father and... sister(?) Dumbfounded. "........what?!"

Victoria smirked. "Hey. Lil bro."

Lloyds head spun, and he turned to his father, "what's going on?"

Garmadon sighed. "I... never told you, Lloyd, you have a twin sister. You're the Green ninja. And she's the Red Warrior..."

Lloyd blinked. "How- what-" a million questions whirrled through his mind, but he settled on the least important. "but she looks my age, I skipped like, 5 years from the travelers tea...?"

"Two halves of a whole, Lloyd. When you aged, I did too." Victoria spoke up.

Confusion bled into rage. She (not his sister) had killed people and destroyed homes. "No! I don't care! She's not family! She killed people! Destroyed homes!"

Garmadon looked at his son, sadness and regret heavy in his eyes. "I have too, son."

Lloyds anger towards Victoria grew with every passing moment. "No. It was the devourer posin that caused that! That wasn't your fault! But she," Lloyd gave Victoria a rough shove backwards, advancing on her, "she is in control of her actions."

"Lloyd, that's enough. You don't understand the full picture." Garmadon said, voice gaining a slight edge.

"No! She chose to be evil! She's not my family!" Lloyd didn't understand exactly why he was so angry, perhaps too many sleepless nights fed into it, perhaps the news was too much to take.

"Lloyd-"

"No, I'm leaving." Lloyd snapped, running back towards the bounty, leaving Victoria's sword on the ground.

...

Victoria looked around Sensei Garmadon's monostary, taking in the lack of weapons and potted plants. It was... peaceful. "I, uh, missed you, Dad... you've changed." She spoke up softly.

Garmadon humed softly, "How did you even get back into the realm?"

"Mountian of madness."

Garmadon fell silent. "Im sorry I never went back for you."

Victorias gaze hardened a bit, "its fine. I'm over it... does... what happened with you... what happened to you, does that change my destiny?"

Garmadon sighed. "I dont know... I hardly remember my time as the Dark Lord."

Victoria shut her eyes, feeling the affects of the past days weighing on her. She had been obsessively trying to find her father, barely sleeping or eating for the past week.

"Vic, are you okay?"

Her eyes snapped open, brownish red pupils looking at his brown ones, before quickly flickering away. "Im fine."

Garmadon placed a gentle hand on hers, "You don't seem fine, Victoria."

She bit her lip, looking away again. Did she tell him about her issues? Did she trust this good version of the man she grew up with? "You're good now. You don't- I-" her eyes glazed with tears as she looked at her hands, pale, with a gray-ish hue. "Im cursed with this evil that runs in my blood, and somehow, you've been cured." She said finally. "I dont know how to trust you anymore."

Garmadon was silent for a moment, mulling over her words. "The great devourerors poisin may have left my veins, but my love for you was doubled, Victoria." He finally said gently.

"Hm." She responded, ready to be done with the conversation. After a moment, she got up, "im going out." She mumbled, and walked out the monostary doors.

...

Why, exactly, Lloyd was the one to be finding Victoria. He had no idea. Still, here he was trying to find his so-called "sister".

Upset- mostly at himself for caring about her- Lloyd froze as he passed by a bar, seeing her leaned over the counter. She was seventeen, and mentally like twelve. What was she doing?!

Lloyd huffed, walking inside. He had discovered a while back that his status as the Green ninja meant that people didn't care much if he had a drink or two.

"What are you doing here, Lloyd." Victoria's voice was dull, but suprisingly steady. From the glasses nearby, it was clear she had had a lot to drink, at least 12 drinks with 7 shots. Her eyes were dull and bloodshot, with her pupils dilated.

"Looking for you, come on. Let's go back to the monostary." Lloyd said, nudging her.

She jolted back. "Don't touch me." She snapped, then turned to the bar tended. "Another shot of your strongest, please."

The bar tended in question shot her an alarmed look. "Miss, you're going to get alcohol posining."

Victoria stared at him for a long, hard moment. "I dont care. I pay you, you give it to me."

Lloyd stepped in, "don't give it to her. Come on Victoria, lets go."

Her fists clenched, shoulders hunching, "would you leave me alone, Lloyd." She snapped, unclenching and clenching her fists several times.

"You're acting ridiculous." Lloyd snapped. "You've had more than enough alcohol- you shouldn't even be drinking- lets go back to the monostary."

She took a deep breath, and got up. "Put it on Iluna's tab. She's my... friend."

...

Once outside the bar, Lloyd rounded on her. "What are you thinking?! Going into a bar and getting drunk like that? You're 17!"

Victoria glared at him, fingers tapping out a rhythm at her side. "You're not my parent. Don't act like it."

"You're being stupid, Victoria!"

She sighed, shoulders sagging. "Whatever. Let's go back to the monostary."

Lloyd stared at her for a long moment. "Fine." He finally said, "but this isn't over."

Chapter 2: A new old sibling

Lloyd staggered in supise, gaping at her in shock. "That... that was an energy ball... a red one too..." he said round eyed, battle momentarily forgotten.

The red warrior gazed at him for a long moment, then finally sheathed her weapon. "Lloyd... take me to see your father..." she asked softly.

Lloyd looked back at where Zane and Nya appeared to be helping civilians onto the bounty for relocation, fires having been put out completely.

"Please." She said, struggling with the word a bit.

"Let me get this straight. You set nearly 20 fires to villages, killing nearly 100 people, and destroying hundreds of homes, and you want me to help you?! Are you insane?!"

"Maybe." She said, face falling. "I dont know."

....what was wrong with this girl?!

"Does it matter? I just want to speak to-" she cut off, face twisting for a moment "your father." She finished.

Lloyd frowned, "Are you... okay?"

She swallowed. "Just take me to see him."

Lloyds eyes narrowed, "alright... but I'm handcuffing you."

She shifted, moving her hands forward. "I just need to talk to him."

Lloyd grabbed some nearby vines that looked relatively thick, and bound her hands together securely, removing her sword. A shiver went up his spine. Her sword was so similar to his...

...

Lloyd knocked on Garmadon's door, The Red Warrior behind him.

Garmadon opened the door, smiling, "Lloyd, how did it go?"

Lloyd smiled, "well, I caught the red warrior," he said, moving aside.

Victoria froze. Garmadon. The Garmadon.

"...Dad?"

"....Victoria..."

Chapter 1: The Red Warrior

Lloyd rushed towards where he heard the child screaming. The little boy was lost inside the burning building, crying for his mother.

"Sh, it's alright kid. I've got you. Let's get outta here before the building collapses." Lloyd assured, gently picking up the crying boy, before beginning to run out of the building. The sun over the village was blocked out by smoke, as Lloyd worked to get the people to safety and Nya and Zane went house by house trying to put out the fire. Lloyd set down the boy by where the townsfolk had gathers, watching as the boy ran to his parents. The parents looked at him, tears of relief in their eyes. "Thank you." The father mouthed. Lloyd gave him a nod. As he turned back towards the village, he saw a long figure on the rocky crevasse overlooking the small town, a deep red shawl flapping in the wind. Feeling largely unsettled, Lloyd spoke into his mouthpiece.

"Nya, Zane, I'm going to go check something out. Keep getting people out of buildings and putting our fires." He said quietly, glancing back at the cliff.

The figure was sitting on the edge, legs dangling off. No.

Lloyd broke into a sprint, slowing as he approached behind the person. The figure didn't move, but spoke up, voice suprisingly joyful and content.

"Was wondering when you might show up..." she trailed off. In the dim, smoky light, Lloyd could make out that she had long jet black hair, and a silver sword, that looked....

Just like his. The only difference being color. Hers was silver with red, instead of his which was gold with green. She spoke up again, joy clear in her voice. "Beautiful, isnt it?"

....did she mean the fire? Surely she wasn't serious. "...what?"

She turns her gaze on him, and his skin itches, hairs on his neck standing up. Her eyes are brown but have a red glint to them.

He shifts uncomfortably, her face looks familiar, but he's unable to place who she resembles.

She ignores his question, "So. It's Sensei Garmadon now, for your father?"

Lloyd's gaze hardens, "Why do you want to know?"

Again, she ignores him.

She stands up, brushing dirt off her clothes. A warrior outfit. Lloyd tenses, placing his hand on his sword. "Well," she says, paying no mind to his defensive position, "I want to know how good your father has gotten."

"What kind of question is that?" Lloyd snaps, mind whirling. What did she want with his father? Did she want to take him away from Lloyd? She couldn't do that! He wouldn't let let her! A low growl formed in his throat, and he felt himself tensing more.

She sighs. "Obviously I won't get an answer from you." She snaps back. "Perhaps I'll speak to the man myself."

"I won't let you!" Lloyd growled, drawing his golden sword.

She draws her own, Silver blade, "Id like to see you try and stop me." She spits, falling into a defensive stance.

Lloyd notes that her blade is indeed the same as his, then lunges at her.

A solid clang rings out as their blades clash against each other. Lloyd smirks. He has elemental power, and she doesn't.

"You're the red warrior, aren't you?"

She grins, "and you're the Green Ninja. Nice to meet you."

Their swords clash as they battle against each other, Lloyd can help but feel her fighting style is horribly familiar. She meets him move for move, flawlessly parying and striking. So she was the one behind the fires. Interesting.

She barks out a laugh, "This isn't a battle you can win, Lloyd."

He smirks "oh yeah?" He let's lose a green energy ball, firing it at her.

His smile drops as she summons a red energy ball, and he has to jump to get out of the way as it whizzes past him.

Impossible.

Chapter 2

[iluna-eclipse]

Geen leaves, Red sun.

Prolouge:

Evil runs in her veins.

That's what Victoria tells herself, as she watches the village fire burn.

Evil is part of who she is.

She listens to the villagers as they scream and run for life.

She was destined to be Evil.

She smiles, watching the chaos before her...

She didn't chose this. Didn't chose to be Evil. No.

Evil chose her. Death chose her. Destruction chose her.

What was it her father said? She is the Red warrior, destined to throw the world into imbalance.

...

Lloyd is the elemental master of green. Green. Life. Energy. Hope. He's always felt his power, running in his veins. He's the green Ninja, destined to bring balance to the world.

But everything has its opposite. And Lloyd wasn't prepared to meet his.

When fires break out all over the outskirts of Ninjago, the ninja rush to aid the villages and uncover who is behind it all. Over and over again, the villagers speak of some "red warrior," all the while, with every new fire that appears, Sensei Garmadon seems to be getting increasingly nervous.

Lloyd strolled down the road towards "Sensei Garmadon's" monostary. After the fight with the crystal king, his father had once again been purified into the kind man who loved Lloyd as a son. Lloyd was overjoyed, and broke into a run, unable to ease the gnawing excitement within him. Sure, he had seen his father yesterday, but upon his father's return, Lloyd had been extra clingy, scared he might leave again.

Lloyd knocked carefully on the doors to the lesson room, bouncing on the balls of his feet.

Sensei Garmadon opened the door, looking pleased. "Lloyd, come in, I just finished with my last lesson." He said, smiling and wrapping his son in a tight embrace.

Lloyd smiled, "I missed you dad."

Garmadon smiled sadly. His son's behavior lately had worried him a bit. He had heard multiple comments from the other ninja saying Lloyd was anxious when he wasn't around, scared every moment with him would be the last. "I missed you too, son."

Lloyd stepped inside, placing his sword against the back wall. His father allowed it only because he knew how paranoid Lloyd had gotten over the years from constant villains. Little did Garmadon know the young Ninja was hiding a lot more than mild anxiety, paranoia, and a few nightmares. Lloyd could barely sleep anymore. Dreams plauged by snakes, the overlord, and Oni Garmadon. But that would remain a secret from his dad. He didn't want to burden him when any moment could be the last they spent together.

"Lloyd?" Lloyd startled out of his thoughts, focusing his gaze on his father's concerned eyes.

"Wha- Yeah?" Lloyd blinked, wondering what he mightve missed.

Garmadon frowned a bit, Lloyd had been spacing out a bit more frequently than he liked. "I asked you how your day went..." he murmured, eyes containing worry and question.

"O-oh, fine, just helping the city rebuild as usual." Lloyd chuckled, "if we're not saving it, then we're always helping them fix it back up."

Garmadon chuckled, setting his worry off to the side for the moment. "True, it does seem that way... what about the fires? Any idea who's been behind them?"

Lloyd sighed, running a hand through his short blonde hair. "Yesterday was the 6th one this week, and we still have no idea who's been behind them all." He sighed, "The only clue we've gotten is that there's always "the Red Warrior" written in the dirt at the location the fires start.

His father seemed to freeze. The red warrior? No... It couldn't be....

Lloyd looked at him intently, "what? Does that mean something to you? What do you know?"

Sensei Garmadon chuckled nervously, "nothing, son. I hope you catch he-... them."

Lloyd jumped on the information. "Her? Her who? Who is it? Do you know where they are? What are you hiding?"

Garmadon sighed. "Lloyd... I suppose it's time I tell you... you-"

Nya barged, running towards Lloyd, "Lloyd, there's been another fire, we need you now!"

Lloyd cast a glance at his father, "this isnt over." He called, dashing away to the bounty.
