#morrotober2022

[realityandrebirth]

Summary: Nya convinces Morro to pose as his past self in the fight against the Hands of Time, even though by then, he would be dead.

Warnings: Violence.

Prompts: Time/Past.

Morrotober Day Twenty-Five

Morro would have been content to stow away in the enormous mech for as long as it took for the Hands of Time to go back to the present, but Nya dragged him out of their hiding place. "Come on!" she hissed. "We've got to go!"

He couldn't protest. Nya and Kai helped Wu climb out, Morro following a few steps behind. Outside the monastery's walls, they put distance between themselves and the Iron Doom as Acronix and Krux waged their attack on the Elemental Alliance of the past.

They huddled just outside the walls. "What are we going to do?" Kai whispered. "We can't change the past!"

"Why not?" said Morro. "The Hands of Time are doing plenty of that."

Wu mumbled something incoherent. Morro tried not to look at him.

"Yeah, and they're causing all sorts of problems!" Nya crossed her arms. "If we change anything here, it could change the future–our present–and make us not even exist anymore. How do we stop the Hands of Time without even showing our faces?"

Kai looked at Morro. "What?" Morro said with a glare. He glanced at Nya only to find that she was looking at him with the same enlightened expression, as if she realized something that could rewrite history in their favor. He didn't like it from either of them.

"The hell are you looking at?" Morro snapped.

"We're not from this time," Nya said, "but you are."

His stomach lurched. "I'm not," he said. "By the time the Serpentine War ended, I was already dead."

"Past Wu doesn't know that," Kai said. "Actually, when you first showed up as a ghost, he didn't know you were dead, either–maybe this would explain why!"

Morro took a step back and looked helplessly at the Wu of their time, who had fallen unconscious again and was no help. "So you want me to lie to him?" he said, his voice shaking. "Make him think I'm fine when actually I'm rotting alone in a cave?"

"I know it's asking a lot," Nya said, "but what else can we do? If we go, they won't recognize us, but they know the masters of fire and water are supposed to be other people. It has to be you."

"Fuck this," Morro said. "Maybe the timeline is better off ruined."

"Morro, please."

He already knew he had no other choice; the desperation in Nya's voice only confirms it. "Fine!" he shouted, and jumped into the air without giving them time to respond, the wind carrying him over the monastery walls.

He threw himself into the battle without making eye contact with anyone else. The Vermilion Warriors fell apart in the vortex he summoned. He forced the snakes away from each other, preventing them from reforming, and hoped the Elemental Alliance would realize what he was doing and follow his example.

"Morro!"

Wu's cry felt like a knife in his gut.

Morro ignored him and slammed a tornado down into the next enemy. It took a moment before he realized it had been the last–there were no more Vermilion to fight, and nothing to distract from Wu running up to him, out of breath and his cheeks flushed.

"Morro," he said, his eyes wide. "You came back!"

"Temporarily," Morro snapped. He took a step away. "You have other problems to deal with."

Wu glanced up at the Iron Doom, which was eerily silent. "Morro, I–I didn't know if I'd ever see you again! I'm so glad you're alright, I–"

"Shut up!"

He flinched back. Morro gritted his teeth and turned away. "I'm not coming back," he said. "I left for a reason, and–and I'm only here now because I hate these idiots more than you. As soon as they're dealt with–"

Wu grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Morro sputtered and pulled back. "Don't fucking touch me!"

"You should be older," Wu said.

Morro went stiff. He couldn't answer.

"When you left–" Wu's voice trembled. "You left so long ago, and–you hardly look older than a teenager. You should be nearly thirty."

"Who says I'm not?" Morro said, but there was no conviction in his voice.

Wu spoke almost too quietly to hear. "What happened to you?"

Anger erupted within him.

"You have no idea," he said. "You have no fucking idea! You have this fantasy that I–I left, and I found my own path, or whatever the hell you think, but I–" Morro clenched his fists. "–I've already been dead for a decade!"

He couldn't look at the horror on Wu's face. Morro turned away. "You never came looking for me," he spat. "At least, you never found me. My body still lies where I died, alone, cursing you with my last breath."

It was a lie, chosen because he knew it would hurt. Alone in the cave, struggling to breathe poisonous air, Morro begged for Master Wu to save him. He pleaded with the visions dancing in front of his eyes–I was wrong, Master, I'm sorry, Master, I want to come home, Master, please–

"Morro!"

The machine grabbed him by the waist and flipped him upside down in the air. He shrieked, struggled–no use. The Iron Doom brought him up to its head, and with a flick of its wrist, threw him out over the side of the mountain. As he fell, he saw it disappear through a portal like the one that had brought them there, traveling to another time.

Stupid, Morro thought, covering his face and sobbing into his hands. Stupid, stupid. He could control the wind, why didn't he tell it to carry him? Why didn't he tell it to save him? He was going to hit the ground and die, again, and this time the future died with him.

He crashed into Nya's arms.

"Hey," she said, sitting up between her and Kai on the dragon. "Stop wailing, you're embarrassing yourself."

"I don't care!" Morro shouted. "I failed! We all failed!"

"It's okay," Nya said. She held up the Reversal Blade, already crackling with power. "We all get a second chance."

Thank you to everyone who participated in Morrotober this year! It was really cool seeing so many participants this year! So many fics and art! :D Alas, the month is now over and it is time to sort of move on until next year.

Missed out last month? Don’t worry! I’ll still be reblogging Morrotober posts regularly throughout November, and then less frequently for the rest of the year. Feel free to tag the blog after November for any Morro posts, too! (Morrotober posts only in November, but after that, back to any Morro posts for the rest of the year).

Back to slumbering until next October, folks!

Morrotober 2022 Day 22: Masters || I wish you never told me about the prophecy.

Hmmm, Morro and Wu pain. In collab with @ghostlywispz who did the art which you can check out here while I wrote the fic :3 (was a pleasure doing this with you! i hope you like the fic :D)

Rating: T

Summary: Morro has a complicated relationship with his master, especially since Wu has also been raising him like a son. But when he is rejected the green ninja title, Morro becomes angry and runs away from Wu. He lives on his own for a while, determined to become the green ninja. But the universe has other plans for him, and they've come to teach him a lesson, even if it's a painful lesson on his--and Wu's--destiny.

Summary: While in a shaky truce with the ninja, Morro panics on a boat and possesses the closest body. He regrets this instantly.

Warnings: None.

Prompts: Regrets.

Morrotober: Day Twenty-Three

He acted in fear and didn't stop to think, but when Morro realized whose body he had possessed, he regretted it instantly.

The other ninja acted at once. Morro was surrounded, their weapons pointed at him even though he knew they would never risk harming his borrowed body. He panicked and prepared to fight. Nya pushed his mind aside and took control.

"Chill, guys," she said, holding up her hands. "It's still me. He isn't trying anything."

"You sure?" Jay squeaked, but he relaxed, just a little. Cole and Zane glanced at each other, and Kai slowly lowered his sword.

"I'm sure," said Nya. "Give him a chance to calm down."

"He's not getting a chance," Lloyd said, his voice tense. "We had an agreement, and he broke it. We all know what that means."

He did. If Morro ever possessed one of them again, their uneasy truce would end, and Morro would be banished back to the Cursed Realm. The idea terrified him. If he went back there, the Preeminent knowing full well he had betrayed her–

"He knows he messed up bad," Nya said. "We'll talk to him once we're off the boat, but I'm not sending him back for one mistake."

Lloyd raised his voice. "This isn't just a mistake!"

"What this is–" Nya held up a finger. "–is strike one. Two more and he's out of the game. Got that, ghostie?"

Morro couldn't answer, his mind filled with fear. He lunged for control inside Nya's mind, but in his panic, he couldn't keep hold of it. Nya grimaced.

Kai had his sword back up in an instant. "What's he doing?"

"Calm down," Nya snapped. "I told you, he's freaking out. I'll give him a few minutes to chill out."

Lloyd hissed air through his teeth. "Fine," he said. "Strike one. There better not be a strike two."

He sheathed his sword and went to the edge of the Bounty, putting his arms on the rail and staring out at sea. Nya followed his gaze, and Morro looked through her eyes at the water surrounding them and started to panic–

Nya went below deck.

Once the water was out of sight, Nya sighed and rubbed her temples. "A few minutes," she repeated. "Tell me when you can be presentable."

Morro still didn't have words, all he knew was that the ninja would banish him, the Cursed Realm called him, and he was going back there–

"Calm down," Nya said. "You won't go back just because you panicked." She went to her room and sat down on the bed. "Stop freaking out. We'll be off the boat soon."

She kept talking in a steady voice until Morro pulled himself together. When he dropped the possession, he sat on the bed and turned his back to her. He expected some sarcastic remark, but Nya didn't comment, and they sat there in silence until they could get off the boat.

Day 2 of @morrotober green ninja

[destinymanticor]

It’s a pity that a lot of things didn’t work out, but now I have +1 more idea out of many

+

💚💚💚💚💚💚

@morrotober

the reason for the format: the anatomy teacher said that it turned out that it was necessary to fill out some kind of workbook, so it fell out for a while. evening october 27 - passed the first section on this subject. since I couldn't draw normal art, I decided to make a small animatic… yeah…

If Morro was in The Virtues of Spinjitzu (6 7 virtues) I would guess he had one of: Sincerity, Flexibility, Humility, Tolerance or maybe Unity - Idk

and to some extent I'm glad that I didn't draw seasons 14 and 15

days below

that moment when you realize that you overdid it but could not do everything, no matter how much you tried

Done:

Until November 1

Do as much as possible

Affect multiple seasons

Quite a lot of pictures

Relatively NORMAL drawing

A few odd hints?...

Not:

Unaffected seasons 14 and 15

Due to "I don't have time on time" the time has been reduced (- 14 and 15)

Grey

Too many pictures - not enough time per frame?

RELATIVELY normal drawing

More like a slideshow than an animatic

Day: 14 - Crew, 15 - Dragon, 17 - Sweet (situation), 18 - Happy Ending, 19 - Waste, 20 - Reunion, 21 - Day of the Departed, 23 - Regret, 25 - Past, 26 - Destiny, 27 - Bridge, 28 - Swap (as internal changes), 29 - AU, 30 - Possession

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

there is another character there, but I'm not sure if it's appropriate to add it

maybe later lay out what was not included for reasons …

my emotional state at the end

[morrotober]

The first half of Morrotober 2022 Prompt list has been released! Feel free to start working on them now if you’d like xD.
