Instead, it is summer, yep for me I have an Aussie Christmas, I live in Australia, I wished it snowed on Christmas. But hope you enjoy ya Christmas day! Season Greeting from Sassy Ninja 🎄😊.

No POV

Four days till Christmas Day

All the ninjas including Pixal woke up.

Pixal and Zane went to get the Christmas things when everyone was waiting for them to return. They saw Pixal bringing in their Christmas tree,  and Zane behind her bringing a stack of boxes.

As he put them down, he helped Pixal put the tree up, everyone else helped put up decorations around the monetary.

When Pixal and Zane finished putting up the tree and decorating it, they saw all the ninjas finished too.

Later Nya placed her big speaker in the lounge room and began to stream so Christmas song.

Pixal decided to call Skylor if she could come and join them to celebrate Christmas (upcoming Kailor), Lloyd asked her if he can go to the never realm and asked Akita to join them too.

She told him to let the others know about going to the never realm,

When he went he got home after a few hours.

He introduced Akita to them,

"This is Akita, she hasn't visited Ninjago so this is her first time," he told them.

Pixal POV

Some reason this morning because there were five days only left to go until Christmas day,

All of us woke quite early just to get ready.

Lloyd just arrived from the never realm with Akita,

She looks nice, she was excited to come and celebrate Christmas.

Later Skylor blurted through the door which made me jump,

Kai went over and gave her a giant hug.

"Ohh, who's this?" She asked me as she pointed to Akita,

"That's Akita, it's her first time at Ninjago from the never realm," I told her.

"Well, we got a new girl for our girl gang," she told us as she plopped down next to Akita.

"It's nice to have friends around," Akita said,

We all began to tell her about the monetary and what missions we went on.

Later Akita and Skylor had to share a room for the night, they were fine with it.

Three Days till Christmas Day

This morning everyone went to the supermarket to get things for the big dinner we would be having on Christmas Eve.

We are also getting presents for our Kris Kringle we'll be having on Christmas Day,

The whole day was so busy,

I did cooking with Zane.

For some reason, I could see Zane staring at me when I was helping him cook.

When I turned and looked at him he turns his head back on to what he was doing.

We managed to do one-quarter of the feast we will be having on Christmas day, after we were done we stored the food in the fridge.

When we went to the lounge room, we saw everyone who came back from the shops sleeping.

We both decided to do the rest of the decorations outside the monastery, after that we made dinner.

Surprisingly everyone blurted into the room, they may have thought the dinner might be ready.

"Is dinner ready?" Lloyd asked us,

"You just in time," Zane told him.

"Yay!" Everyone cheered, normally everyone loved Zane's cooking.

When we served dinner everyone snarfed down their dinner, for some reason I ate so slow.

When I finished eating I realized that nearly everyone has left the dinner table, the only person who was with me was Zane.

I grabbed my plate and Zane said that he will do the night chores, I decided to wait for him.

But it was taking so long for him to do all that, I waited a whole hour, but he still didn't come out from the kitchen.

Hell, I was tired that I fell asleep on the couch, although it was getting cold, I began to shiver.

Zane POV

I was just doing the night chores in the kitchen, it took me a long time than normal.

Maybe because of how me and Pixal did dinner plus did some of the festival food for Christmas Day.

When I was finished I went to the lounge room to watch something on the TV, I normally did this when I didn't feel like going to sleep.

But when I went to the lounge room I saw Pixal asleep on the couch, she was also shivering a lot.

She must be cold I thought,

I cuddled her, her shivers stopped.

I ended up falling asleep with her on the couch.

Two Days until Christmas Day

This morning I woke up to find Pixal gone, I also felt a fluffy blanket over me.

I stretched myself and got off the couch, I went to the kitchen counter and found Pixal, Nya, Jay and Lloyd there.

Pixal and Nya were on the high chairs near the kitchen counter (pls don't think High chairs are the ones for babies, I just don't know how to say those chairs that are tall and you can make it go down and up. They also are at the kitchen counter, so yeah I can't say what they are).

Lloyd and Jay were making pancakes, they weren't bad at making them, I joined with Pixal and Nya.

"You slept in," Pixal said giggling,

"Uh, yeh," I said kind of blushing.

My eyes then went over to Jay who was going to flip over the pancake, I saw something on the handle of the pan.

That's when I realized the time yesterday Lloyd accidentally broke the handle off the pan and I decided to put some glue on it hoping it would stick.

"Uh, Jay doesn't use that it's....." I was going to finish my sentence when he was going to flip the pancake over.

Just then the handle fell off and we all heard a pop noise from the pan, the other part of the pan which contained the pancake fell on the floor with a Bang!

"Broken" I finished,

Nya began laughing,

"Well at least that didn't hit your foot," Pixal said to Jay.

"Yeh, it doesn't matter that was the last one and there was less pancake mix on it," he said.

Lloyd then brought a plate out from near the stove, a tall stack of pancakes showed,

He divided them up and placed them on plates.

Later he called out everyone for breakfast,

We all grabbed syrup, butter and other sweet stuff for our pancakes.

I saw Nya have hers with butter, syrup and some marshmallows,

Kai having his with Nutella (Nutella is a delicious chocolate spread, you got to try it),

Lloyd was having his with ice cream and chocolate sauce,

Akita was having hers with butter and syrup,

Cole was having his with Nutella and chocolate chips,

Skylor was having hers with, ice-cream and Nutella,

Pixal was having hers with just syrup,

Jay was having his with........ (#here it comes) Lotta syrup, chocolate chips, chocolate sauce, ice cream, marshmallows, candy and big dollops of Nutella.

And I had mine with butter and syrup,

During the day, Jay might have regretted having so much sugar by the fact he had a three-hour sugar rush with also a sugar crash.

"ooh, my stomach" he groaned as he clutched himself,

"Sweetie, you shouldn't have had that much sugar, that was too much," Nya said cuddling him. (that reminds me of how I was making a gingerbread house at school and we used lollies for decorations and I was half putting the house together, half eating all the lollies and I had a sugar rush and crash during the whole school day)

Me and Pixal managed to get about half of the festival dinner done for Christmas Day.

Later during the night after dinner, I spotted Kai and Skylor hanging up mistletoe around the monetary.

Is it just me or am I just staring at it for no reason,

"Well looks like the whole place would be full of them tomorrow," Pixal said as I turned to see her on the couch with me.

"Yeh, there gonna be lots of kisses wouldn't it," I said, she slightly blushed at what I said.

"I'm pretty sure tomorrow Jay might get the celebration horn at 5 am and wake us up," she told me.

"Yeh that is quite accurate," I told her, then my eyes travelled to the window, it was snowing.

"What is it?" Pixal asked me and then turned her head to see what I was looking at.

"It's snowing," I said to her,

"yeh," she said,

All of sudden, Pixal curled up on me like a kitten and pulled herself closer to me.

I immediately blushed a dark blue, she gently grabbed my hand.

Her hand felt warm and soft, I just pulled her closer to me.

She just looked up at me with a soft smile, I smiled back.

After a while, it was getting late so I got off the couch and went to bed and Pixal decided to do the night chores.

Christmas Eve

Pixal POV

As expected Jay, this morning got his horn and yelled to wake up,  

"WAKE UP, IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE!!!!!" He yelled through our doors.

What was so annoying was that he also banged on the doors like crazy

That's when I heard Kai in the hallway yelling so loud at Jay to "Shut The Hell Up"

When I went to the kitchen I saw the time on the shelf, it was 5 am.

During the morning we streamed Christmas songs and some of my friends including my sister Nya sang along.

Me and Zane did all the festival food for tomorrow which was Christmas Day.

I went over to Borg Industries to go and see my father Cyrus Borg,

When I went to the floor he is normally in which was level 100.

When the doors of the elevator opened I gasped, the whole room was filled with lights, tinsel, small baubles and on the corner there was a big Christmas tree which was full of presents underneath it.

"It's beautiful isn't it?" Cyrus said,

"Yeah, it is," I said as I walked up to him.

He wheeled over to the presents underneath the tree, he grabbed some of them and checked the tags before handing them to me.

"This is for you and the ninjas," he said

"Thank you," I said as I put the presents down and ducked my hand down one of my pockets in my jacket.

"That's yours," I said as I pulled out a small present and gave it to him,

"Thank you," he said as he pulled me into a hug.

It's very nice to have a father I thought,

When we pulled away I took the presents my father gave me and walked to the monastery.

I placed the presents under the tree,

Some of the presents had a sticker on the top saying "Don't open til Xmas".

I still don't know why some people use the name Xmas instead of Christmas (me neither).

During the evening it began to snow again, I never seen it snowing for a while.

But it's hard to live when it is cold, that is why all of us wear a lot of layers of clothes including me and Zane.

During the night everyone played more Christmas songs, which made some couples dance except for me I don't know how to dance.

The whole time I sat on the couch with a fluffy blanket around me,

I looked out the window, it was still snowing,

Without anyone knowing I pulled on my coat and went outside.

I went outside the monetary and sat down on the bench behind the small tree as I looked up at the sky watching the snowfall,

For some reason when I sat here it reminded me of how I and Zane got our photo taken here.

I smiled at the memory,

Suddenly I felt an arm around me, this made me jump for a second.

I looked and saw Zane with me also looking at the sky seeing the snow,

I lean on his shoulder with my head.

I could feel a cold breeze brush against my metal skin which made me shiver,

That's when Zane took off the scarf he was wearing and wrapped it around me.

I looked up and smiled at him, he smiled back,

He gently took my hand and pressed it to his chest.

I pulled myself closer to him,

My eyes gently closed as I could feel his warmth against mine.

Zane POV

I could feel some weight on my shoulder,

When I looked down I saw Pixal asleep.

I shook her a bit to wake her up but she wouldn't,

I signed and carried her bridal style and took her inside to her room.

I decided to do the night chores tonight after the dancing party which took up until midnight,

This mainly made everyone tired after.

Christmas Day

In the morning I woke up and made breakfast,

Everyone began to come from the kitchen door at the same time at 7 am.

I noticed that Pixal wasn't with them,

"Where's Pixal?" I asked them.

"She might have slept in," Nya said,

I nodded and served them breakfast.

Later when the others were opening their presents I walked fast to Pixal's room.

I knocked on her door a few times, she didn't answer.

When I opened the door she was still asleep on her bed,

I walked to her and kneeled to see her face on the pillow.

I placed my hand on her cheek, she seemed to sink into it.

I began to think of a way to wake her up making her not annoyed.

Pixal POV

I still remembered how I fell asleep on Zane's shoulder,

Just for a second, I was sleeping peacefully, when, something was tickling my head and cheeks.

I began giggling as I woke up, I held up a hand to whoever was making my head and cheeks ticklish.

I opened my eyes to see Zane close to me,

"Good morning Pix," he said to me.

Suddenly he pulled me into a hug and kissed me on my head,

"And Merry Christmas to you," he said as he stared into my green emerald orbs.

"Same to you," I said,

I got up and wrapped the covers around me from how cold the room was.

Zane gave me a cuddle which made me warm,

Then Zane left the room for me to change into my comfy warm clothes.

When I went to the lounge room which had the Christmas tree, there were lots of presents under the tree.

I walked over to the others who were opening their presents, I checked the present that had my name on it and opened it.

There was a purple cloak inside, immediately tried it on it was very comfy and warm.

After we all opened our presents, we all headed out to the snow.

I sat on the bench, I was thinking of what I can do,

I saw Nya, Skylor and Akita going up a hill and playing with their sledge.

I saw Kai and Cole were making a snowman,

"Pixal, why don't you come and join us" Nya called out to me.

I smiled and joined them up the hill, as we all sat on the sledge.

Skylor began pushing the sledge down the hill as she joined in with us.

We all began to squeal as we all raced down the hill,

Although there was something in the way.

It was Jay, Cole, Zane, Kai and Lloyd, uh oh.

Then as we reached them, they saw us and huddled up screaming,

Then we crashed into them.

We were all on the snow,

"wow" Nya said,

"Let's..." Skylor said,

"....Do it...." Akita,

"Again," I said as I joined in their conversation.

I and my friend later went to get some hot chocolate,

We kept on talking in the monetary.

Zane POV

I was talking to my brothers with hot chocolate in the lounge room,

"are you going to do it now?" Jay suddenly asked me.

"No, not now," I said, what Jay was talking about was that I have got something to give Pixal but I need to wait for the right time.

Later we had Kris Kringle,

We had numbers on our presents,

I got number 5 and I got a tracking device that helps me to contact other ninjas.

After we had Kris Kringle, I went with Pixal to the kitchen to help me out with placing the festival food on the table.

After we were finished setting the table up, everyone came in and grabbed plates to serve themselves food.

They must have smelled the food I thought,

Me and Pixal went last to serve ourselves food.

After dinner, Pixal asked me if we could talk in her bedroom, which she wanted to talk to in private.

When I finished washing the dishes I headed to her room with her,

We both sat on her bed.

"I got something for you," she told me,

"Ok," I said, she pulled out a box with an icy blue bow on the top.

"Thank you Pix" I smiled, when I opened the box, I saw a fluffy scarf.

When I pulled it out and on the edges, it had icy blue and purple writing on it,

I peeked down at the words, then I realized it was words we said nicely to each other.

The purple ones were spoken by Pixal and the blue ones were from me,

I looked at Pixal, who was smiling at me.

"I love it," I said as I pulled her into a hug,

"Did you make this?" I asked her.

"Yeah, my dad taught me," she told me,

"I got something too," I said as I pulled out a wrapped box from my pocket.

She gently took it from my hands and opened it and smiled,

"Oh Zane I love it,"she said as she pulled me into a hug.

We stayed like that for a while,

"Come on, let's go and see the others," I told her.

She nodded and we both headed to the lounge room where everyone was.

We stopped in the entrance in the lounge room,

"Where were you two?" Kai asked us. We both blushed slightly,

"Don't think about it we were just talking about something ok?" I said not to make Kai tease us.

"Pixal why don't you come over and sit with us," Nya said as she made room.

Pixal was about to go to them when someone said,

"Hey, your missing something," Skylor said.

"What," she asked, then Skylor pointed at something above her.

I looked up too, it was Mistletoe, she looked at me blushing a dark purple along with me blushing a dark blue.

She walked up to me and I cupped her face looking deeply into her eyes,

She smiled softly at me, just as our lips connected, I couldn't help but smile.

We heard the others cheering and whistling, as we pulled away we began giggling softly while our heads were touching.

Authors Note: The was a twist, but wait there it is few questions of what you think you can answer from me so,

1. What do you think Zane was doing to wake Pixal up on Christmas day?

2. What do you think Pixal got from Zane?

Comment your Answers

Hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎄

(there is audio but only at the end)

Hehe. just a silly thing i made for fun

Zane: Kai, you're on fire

Kai: I know. I'm extremely hot today *wink*

Lloyd: No Kai! Your HEAD is on FIRE-!

I saw @jacked-anime-lloyd 's post about Ninjago flora, and I draw this "Ice Berries", but in the half way of this my white pen said "nope" and now we have this. But I think it turned out better than it could be😅

Someone to me: how can you love a lego character??

Me: *Spanish gasp* How can you not!?

P.O.V: Min-droid’s about to steal yo kneecaps.

Some random headcanons that I think are pretty popular yet are still rad

Lloyd could’ve been really tall because of his Oni blood but due to not being able to eat much food with nutritional value while at Darkleys and while he was homeless AND because of his unnatnatural growth spurt Lloyd never reached his true potential, height wise.

Due to Cliff Gordon’s uhhhh ‘womanizer’ demeanor Jay has tons of half siblings! Only a few of them know about each other but they all look identical due to the curly hair and freckles that all of them posses

Kai has a beauty mark opposite to Nya’s and Nya has a scar opposite to Kai, making them sorta mirrors of each other

Continuing with Kai and Nya being mirrors of each other, Jay and Cole used to confuse them for each other, mostly in the morning due to Nya’s insane bed head and Kai’s flat hair

After becoming a human again one of Cole’s eyes turn green to match his scar

Cole lowkey hates wearing black outside of his ninja suit. The color just reminds him too much of sadness and death so he much prefers wearing colors like burnt orange, deep green, royal purple, and mahogany

Zane is the bug killer in the house. That’s not a headcanon though, that’s a fact

Zane really likes the color pink, however due to the other’s toxic masculinity in early seasons he pretended to hate the color too

Lloyd loves having plants in his room, he just loves taking care of them all. Also he gives them names

Nya set my expectations for a girlfriend too high

I tried to make fanart

I posted on my Instagram a few days ago but I think I wanna start posting fanart here too. So here’s my try at mermaid Nya! It isn’t the best but I’m working on improving so hopefully I’ll get better as I go on!

After the events of S11, the ninja are back to being whole once more. With Zane once again himself and Aspheera having been locked away, they're ready more than ever for whatever that'll come next.

...but to be fair, being ready for THIS was impossible.

Please, how were they even supposed to know that a teenage Lord Garmadon would end up at the monastery?

Hello! I really like your teenage garmadon fanfic on ao3 and was wondering if you were planning on continuing it :)))

I'm really happy you like the fic!

So the reason the answer to this question is so freaking late is because...well there's not really much of an excuse but don't worry, i'm not abandoning that fic. It's haunting me too much.

I just updated.

So uh, I have both good news and bad news.

The good news is, the hellspawn au is finally getting its first multi-chaptered fic. I'm planning on doing one per season following the spawning (it's still weird using that word lol even a year later) of our dear hellspawn. And since I started this AU last year with a tumblr post of Season 8, I guess it's only fair that's the season for the first fic as well.

So, you're getting some chapters about Lloyd's sub-par-but-trying-his-best parenting skills, a chaotic mini him, the other ninja trying their best to be helpful & Harumi being the walking red flag no one wants to acknowledge but her dad is head over heels for.

The bad news is uh...(you're all gonna hate me for this 😭) her name isn't starting with L.

Me imagining what would happen if they locked all the best fanfic writers of the fandom in a room & made them write a season.

How many people at school or in general tried to befriend hellspawn just so they could get to meet the ninja or have the ability to boast about being connected to them through hellspawn? Cause, like, there is no way this won't ever happen.

A lot, unfortunately.

They'd ask all sorts of questions like what the inside of the monastery looks like and whether she can teach them Spinjitzu. (Well she can't. Blame Lloyd for saying she's too young for anything) Cue them later asking what the ninja are really like and whether Kai's hair is actually real. Does Zane need to be charged before battle? Is Nya still with Jay? What does Cole do in his spare time? Why are Lloyd's eyebrows suddenly so different? Is Wu really that old? Are they allowed to come to the monastery?

You'd think getting that amount of attention and interest would be fun for someone that young but it's the opposite actually. It's great at first but starts sucking after a while. No one really cares to ask her about her after she told them she doesn't have Lloyd's powers or anything like that. A conversation with those kids almost always involves someone asking something about her dad or Uncle Zane or Uncle Jay and she gets bored. Speaking of which, what's so interesting about her dad, anyway? He picks his nose, he burns tea—

And then there's this boy who basically worships Kai and all hellspawn's thinking in her head is the last time there was a fire in the courtyard and her Aunt Ni looked like she wanted to murder someone. He says he really wants to meet Kai someday cuz he's cool, and definitely should've been the Green Ninja instead of Lloyd who barely deserved it. As soon as hellspawn heard that she was like: what did u say.

To spare you the details, she got into some *cough* minor trouble — which Lloyd freaked out at because when he was at Darkley's, he was the one being hit and the last thing he wants is for her to end up like one of Gene's goons at the age of only fIVE.

So naturally, he spent at least twenty minutes giving her a whole lecture about why she should never hit others and how wrong it is, causing her to sulk and tell him what the heck happened.

Silence.

Lloyd: He's right.

Hellspawn, blinks: What?

Lloyd: Kai should've been the Green Ninja.

Hellspawn: But—

Lloyd, shrugs: Well he trained, he worked hard — he wanted it a lot more than anyone. I was just some dumb kid that ended up with it. *forces a smile* Destiny's weird, don't you think?

Hellspawn: ...

Later, she finds Kai who's in the middle of sharpening his sword and asks him about it.

Hellspawn bites her lip: Do you still wish it was you?

Uncle Kai, stares at her incredulously: Of course. I could've FIXED Lloyd's whole life—

Hi.Since hellspawn is created the same way spinjitsu brothers are,shouldn't she age slower and/or be semi-immortal?Are Oni interested in her,because she looks human, has Oni blood,but also Dragon aura or smth bc she is created by the golden power?Also,how does she take Nya's departure in Seabound?

I would say she ages like Lloyd did but is semi-immortal just like him — well, the latter is what he hopes. (He's not planning on outliving her because of his fucked up heritage) He's still learning what traits his powers managed to give her that day, but genetically, she's all Lloyd.

So far, the only actual Oni she's ever spent time with was Mystake — and that wasn't even for very long or under good circumstances. All she got from that tea addict during S9 was that 'she's a curious case' — whatever that means. Lloyd doesn't get it either but he's too exhausted being the emotionally drained character in Hunted to ask.

Her quarter demon grandfather smelled that she was part Oni in Hunted at some point while holding her captive, but she didn't understand what the heck was going on other than this was her Grandpa who she hadn't seen in...a while. And he now looked weird too.

She didn't interact with any full-blooded Oni in MoTo, unfortunately. :(

She has some dragon traits too though — the frequent chewing on Lloyd's hair and any attempt to eat any object within distance is the dragon side speaking. And Lloyd remembers having the urge to purr while holding her when she was a baby—and actually doing it on one occasion. Now, he's not sure if that was from the Oni or Dragon...or just him. Sensei G never said anything about doing it when he was younger. And Lloyd never blurted out the question either—in his defense, he thought it was weird at that time.

And in not Sensei G's defense, he was passing by Lloyd's room when it happened so of course he knew what was happening—only, he didn't say anything. Just smiled and remembered the moments a much younger him used to soothe his newborn son that way.

Nya's departure doesn't feel real to hellspawn until after they've had her memorial. That's when it truly sinks in that her Aunt Ni's really gone. It's quite odd for her to think about—Nya's always been so untouchable.

But then she finds out Nya isn't actually dead and just...left. She left but they're holding a memorial. She left but they're acting like she's gone for good and will never come back. They're mourning her.

Well, a while after that she realizes the difference between dead and gone for good. Aunt Ni's still out there but she's never coming back. She can't come back. Whatever she did to save Ninjago won't let her walk through the monastery doors and get everyone to stop being sad. She'll never be in the hangar bay working on something with Aunt Pix & Uncle Zane or hoard all the coffee with Kai. She'll never be in the kitchen helping Jay fix something that's perfectly fine or dance-training with him in the courtyard. She'll never be seen painting Cole's sketches and showing them to him. She'll never firmly tell her dad to get some sleep or sit with him when he can't again.

She'll never be in front of her listening to her talk or take her for another swim. She'll never come back.

She's not coming back.

Hellspawn becomes very quiet in the months after that. Lloyd notices it and has a talk with her even though he knows he isn't fine himself. But all hellspawn does is nod and bite her lip at whatever he says.

Hellspawn would totally ask Lloyd where her mother is especially at a young age. He chokes whenever she asks.

Absolutely, lmao.

It's bad enough that it was her favorite kids show that started the question. And after her young mind pieced together that a 'mother' was basically a female version of someone who took care of you & spent time with you like your dad, she wondered who that was to her.

Obviously Misako was too old, and Pixal didn't have a physical form yet so she never really interacted with her often. Only Nya was left, but then she remembered that Nya was Aunt Ni and not Mommy.

So one day while they were all having lunch on the bounty...she decided to ask Lloyd.

And boy was he unprepared for that question.

Eventually, Cole just decided to awkwardly tell her that she's a special case and her dad is literally also her mom—which led to her soon asking why she doesn't call him mommy. Kai cheerfully told her that she could if she wanted to and Lloyd immediately kicked him under the table after that one. Zane suggested that Lloyd just tell her the complete truth and after a "I'd rather get possessed again" and some convincing, Lloyd finally agreed to tell her he made her with his powers.

After somewhat absorbing that, she asked whether she could have a little sibling—no surprise there. The rest of the team spent at least fifteen minutes laughing at the look on Lloyd's face.

Man... having the talk with her one day is definitely gonna be something.

When Lloyd and hellspawn go out do they have to put on disguises? Do they also put on like contacts or something? Does hellspawn love dressing up or does she hate it?

Initially, Lloyd never really saw any need for that because he never once took her out with him after she was made...spawned?

Keep in mind this was after the Final Battle — a.k.a back when Lloyd had to show up to ceremonies all over Ninjago and was busy as heck. On the days when he was on break, he always spent them at Garmadon's monastery and never left because he was desperate for some peace and quiet while trying to take care of her. The furthest he even went with her was just outside the monastery.

And yeah, maybe also because the thought of wearing a disguise didn't cross his mind at the time. Sigh.

(Garmadon, teach your son how to shapeshift. i'm begging you.)

At Zane's funeral, they just passed her off as a distant cousin of Jay's from Edna's side of the family. And then the team split, leaving Lloyd to spend nearly all his time at the monastery during the first few weeks contemplating things to the point he really needed a distraction.

So the only one he was left with was Nya, who was basically like: Put on a hoodie and take her out to the park. The weather's good.

Lloyd: But you guys told kid me i looked terrible with my hood up.

Nya crosses her arms: That was Kai.

Lloyd, sniffs, looking away: Whatever. Still hurts a year later.

Nya, lets out a sigh: Lloyd—

Lloyd: Not happening. It'll make me look like a kidnapper.

Nya looks at him warily: What kind of movies have you been watching, again?

Lloyd pretends he didn't hear her: Or maybe I could grow a moustache.

Nya stares at him: I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that.

Lloyd: But I'll look good—

Nya: I'm disowning you.

Lloyd: I was joking!

Nya: Just wear a hat. I'll even buy you one.

And so, Lloyd went with a fedora and green contacts to cover his red eyes & started taking her out more often — with Nya occasionally tagging along. It's mostly just walks in a stroller in which he just pretends to be his kid's older brother who's supposed to be watching her. Overall, it's fun. One day there were old ladies who came up to them commenting on how adorable the baby was, causing Lloyd to be like: there's no way i made this.

And fortunately, she was asleep at that moment, so her eyes didn't give Lloyd away.

When Nya isn't there with him—and it's also one of those days he blames himself for Zane's death, Lloyd finds himself spilling everything to hellspawn and then feeling really bad about it later. His only comfort is that he knows she won't remember this—he really hopes she doesn't.

After s4 and pre s5, Lloyd started getting sick of having to pretend to be his own kid's brother instead of her father so he decided to dress more maturely to look older, even putting on a fake moustache & goatee to complete the look and took her to other places to not be recognized. Kai could no longer see his baby brother anymore & was sad for a week.

But after s5...well that was where the real challenge began.

After the press found out the Green Ninja actually had a child, Lloyd was hysterical. They'd been so careful, so careful and now it was all gone. Great. She's gonna go through the same thing he does now all because she's stuck with him for a dad.

She's only two. Lloyd can't make her wear contacts every time they're out and Zane says that isn't advisable either. And considering he can't keep her isolated on the bounty for the rest of her life, he decided to get some wigs, hats and literally anything else to make her as unrecognizable as possible.

And she hates it.

Well the good thing is, her eyes look more brown from afar instead of red, so there's no need to worry about that. She really despises wigs though. Lloyd eventually decided to just dress her in toddler hoodies — which he made — or cover her face with a blanket after finding that out the hard way.

And before s8 and some time after Lloyd's eye color changed completely, she started taking an interest in green colored contacts just to match him because his eyes weren't red anymore.

What is hellspawn's favorite thing to do with each member of her family and her friends?

Lloyd

- Depends on the day, really. It usually alternates between chewing on his hair and burying her face into his neck. But mostly, it's the first one.

- Dragon rides work too, I guess.

Nya

- Swimming — if they ever get a chance to go somewhere. Both of them agree that the hot tub doesn't count, unlike Kai.

- Pranking the rest.

Kai

- Listening to the 'Long Tales of Little Lloyd Garmadon', some of which Kai completely made up to damage his little brother's reputation.

Jay

- (Tragic) Tag

- Smuggling Starfarer comics from Lloyd's room to Jay's because Jay sacrifices some of his candy stash in return.

Cole

- Sitting on his shoulders because it's a lot higher up compared to the others.

- Piggy back rides.

Zane

- When she got older, she started enjoying watching him cook because that's when she gets to debate with him about whether or not that dish even needs vegetables. Somehow, Zane doesn't mind it and finds it amusing and just explains why vegetables are necessary for a healthy diet.

Pixal

- Passing her stuff in the underground base when she has nothing to do.

If hellspawn ever met Echo, how would they get along?

Echo would be really confused on how her existence is possible and Zane would explain that it's similar to how their father made them.

But yeah, they'd get along.

She'd sit there curiously watching Nya, Jay and Zane repair Echo after being caught spying on them and they'd all talk until Lloyd finally finds her and puts her down for a nap.

She made a get-well-soon card for him after Nya told her he was 'sick' and that's why they were fixing him. Echo's kept it with him ever since.

After finding out that he and Zane are brothers because Dr Julien created him too, she ran to Lloyd asking for a sibling. Lloyd immediately told her NO.

I think it would be funny if after crystallized hellspawn gained some level of respect for harumi but still hated her guts, and especially the idea of her dating her dad. And even after constant reassurance that it ain't gonna happen she still would not take any chances whatsoever

Oh they dosing off kinda close to each other? Cue hellspawn climbing on the couch literally kicking harumi off and snuggling into her dads side and other shit like that.

Everyone thinks its adorable

Also sorry i didnt do the get to know me thing, truth is im too anxious to post things on social media, even starting to comment and send asks took me a while to gather courage to do. But hey, maybe one day

The couch scene is automatically canon—it would be a crime not to put it in considering I can now not remove the image from my head LOL.

But she respects her...a bit. There's a tiny bit of respect for her considering the only reason she died was because she saved a family—but there's none for what she did to or is currently doing to her dad. Her great grandfather forbid there to be.

And hellspawn recruited Luke to help her make Harumi's life as miserable as possible. Kai & Nya know what she's doing but say nothing to Lloyd about it. They love the fun—plus, Harumi deserves it.

Wouldn't it be funny if when hellspawn... well spawned garm/misako called wu and the ninja to try and tell them to come over (and bring baby stuff while their at it) but the situation was so chaotic that the ninja only understood a small part of it and, with the little info they had; concluded that lloyd was turned into a baby?

Takes place sometime before s3.

Don't get him wrong. Cole had always been someone who liked kids.

Just...just not these kids.

"Being a teacher is hard work," Kai complained, plopping down a nearby chair as soon as he could step into the break room. His usually well-gelled hair was beginning to droop miserably. "If my work of art gets another spitball when my back is turned again I swear I'll—"

"Work of art? FSM, who told you that lie?" Nya snorted, only to receive a very nasty glare from her brother at that comment. "That's a mess."

"Those kids are the mess," Kai grumbled, hands reaching up to comb through his hair to find any remaining atrocities. "They're even worse than the baby gremlin version of Lloyd. Can you believe that?"

"You're telling me," Cole rubbed his eyes. "I come in ten minutes late and someone lets Ninjago's most poisonous scorpion walk around the classroom."

"How did they even bring one in, again?" Nya sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose wearily. "Enough said. We need stricter rules."

"As if that'll stop them," Kai huffed, chucking his file across the room. "Keep dreaming."

" 'Educating the future of Ninjago' my butt. Wu definitely hates us."

"Bad day too huh, zaptrap?" Cole winched sympathetically, watching Jay's head dip in a depressed nod as he made a beeline for the freezer.

"We went from saving Ninjago to needing to be saved," Jay stressed, eyes scanning through the contents of the refrigerator before then widening. "Hey. Who took my pudding cup?"

"You had a pudding cup?" Cole blinked, his gaze briefly falling on the empty plastic container in front of him on the table. At that, Jay's eyes locked on it as well. "Um...sorry?" He tried, grimacing at once.

"Bullied by my students, and now bullied by my friends," Jay said miserably, slamming the fridge door shut at once. "This is just great."

"Perfect for a villain arc," Kai said helpfully, only to receive incredulous looks from everyone else in the room. "What? Literature is finally growing on me."

"I can't believe I got stuck with history," Jay groaned, sounding as though he was tempted to bang his head against the table. "Zane's the walking textbook. He should be teaching history."

"Unfortunately, that would leave a vacancy for the science teacher position," Zane replied, walking into the room — weirdly percent timing, Cole thought suspiciously. "I believe Wu does not wish to look elsewhere for a replacement."

"Yeah," Kai rolled his eyes. "So he can continue to pay us like—"

"But Nya could teach science," Jay suggested, looking at her pleadingly. "Right, Nya?"

Nya seemed to contemplate that thought. "I guess I could—"

"See?"

"But you're gonna have to take over math," Nya told him, chewing on the inside of her cheek. "You have to spend the rest of your life hearing those kids talk about how much they hate you and—"

Jay blinked. "Wait, what—"

"Yeah," Nya shrugged. "And then, they start debates with you asking why the heck do we have to learn this—"

"Well that's normal for me," Jay said, and then frowned. "Anyway, why are we forced to learn math, again?"

"I often wonder that myself," Sensei coughed.

All of them nearly jumped at that, not having seen him enter. The old man merely shook his head.

"You five have become less vigilant," he stated exasperatedly, the bottom of his bamboo staff colliding with the floor as he continued to step forward. "Such carelessness could be your downfall."

Kai just stared at him in disbelief. "So is that why those brats keep scheming against me?"

"Probably," Jay suggested, only to earn a scowl in response. "And by the way Sensei, I kinda have a teeny, tiny little request as a teacher—"

"Oh, I've already heard that," Sensei replied, giving him a brief knowing look. "As long as Nya and Zane are alright with this new arrangement, I don't see any reason to refuse you."

"I have no issue with this," Zane chimed in, and Nya nodded in agreement.

"Oh, those kids don't know what's coming, alright," she grinned mischievously. "I can't wait for the experiments—"

It was then when the sound of ringing cut the air.

Cole's eyes immediately fell on the telephone.

"I will get it," Sensei told them, before any of them could bother getting up. Cole felt his eyebrows knit into a frown. Hang on, hadn't the last time that phone had gotten a call been when—

Jay's face was suddenly as pale as a sheet. "Please tell me they aren't going to enroll in another—"

"Hello. This is Darkley's Boarding School For Great Children how may I — brother?" Sensei blinked, sounding genuinely surprised at the fact the former dark lord was calling him at this point of the day. "Is everything alright?"

Cole watched questioningly as the old man's expression suddenly tightened, before then proceeding to take the deepest dive into confusion in the history of Ninjago.

"What do you mean?" Sensei asked incredulously, both of his eyebrows rising high enough to be concealed by the shadow of his straw hat. "Brother, of all the methods you could use to antagonize me—"

"What the heck is going on?" Jay whispered.

"No idea," Cole mouthed, continuing to listen intently with a deeper frown. Had Garmadon sprouted another pair of arms again or something?

Then, suddenly, the old master stilled, his golden eyes far wider than they had ever seen them. The knuckles of the hand holding the phone were visibly white with how tightly he was gripping it.

It was a while until he managed to bring himself to speak once again.

"A baby, Garmadon — what was he thinking—"

"What?" Nya gasped, and Kai's jaw dropped open at once, the hothead looking as though he was about to faint. Even Zane was no different.

What. On Earth. Was Going On.

"He is more like Father than I thought," Sensei lamented miserably, as though he very much regretted that fact.

He, Cole realized, taking note of that detail immediately. That could only mean Sensei was referring to—

"Alright, alright," Sensei sighed, his grip on the phone faltering slightly. "We'll be there, brother."

Then, he placed the telephone back on its holder, pushing it away immediately.

"What was that about, Sensei?" Nya asked.

The old master met her gaze tiredly, appearing as though he regretted hearing the sound of ringing in the first place.

He heaved out a sigh. "Garmadon has called."

Kai shot him a deadpan stare. "Yeah. We could tell—"

"I'm afraid we will need to leave the academy in the care of Dareth until we return," Sensei said, running a hand over his face wearily. "Garmadon requires our presence. As soon as possible."

"Well care to tell us why?" Jay crossed his arms. "And what was that about a baby?"

"You also used the third person pronoun 'he' at the three minute and thirty one second mark of your conversation," Zane pointed out, sounding genuinely curious. "That would most likely mean—"

"—that this is something related to Lloyd," Cole finished, unsurprised that the others had pieced it together too. "Master," he then asked hesitantly. "is Lloyd okay?"

"What the hell is happening?" Kai yelped.

Sensei closed his eyes, raising his head as though to stare at the ceiling in despair. "Dear First Spinjitzu Master."

"I think we broke him," Jay whispered mournfully. For the first time in his life, Cole was forced to agree.

"I believe this will be easier to explain once you have seen it for yourselves," Wu finally admitted, his voice painfully strained. Cole held back a grimace. "In the meantime, gather as many items that can be used to care for an infant as possible—I'm sure Garmadon will greatly appreciate it," he told them, giving them all a weak smile. "Now excuse me, I must go find Dareth."

Jay looked at them all in bewilderment after the old man had turned around and left. "But we don't even have baby stuff—"

"Exactly, so screw it," Kai hissed, something in his eyes now ablaze. "I'm going to head there now and storm the place until I find out what's going on. Who's with me?"

"Me," chorused four other voices without hesitation. After that, Nya suddenly furrowed her brow in concentration.

"I just really don't understand the baby part," she muttered, her forehead creasing as she continued to ponder on that thought. "You know, at first I was convinced that Sensei G and Misako had welcomed a baby — but then, that thing about Lloyd came along."

"Or maybe Lloyd's the baby?" Jay offered.

Cole's mind went blank.

"What?"

"You're kidding me," Kai said, his tone edged in disbelief. "No. There's no way."

"But what if there is?" Jay begged. "I mean, didn't Sensei mention something about Lloyd and the FSM?"

"He is correct," Zane confirmed with a nod. "There was a moment where Sensei expressed regret at their similarities — thus hinting that the current matter at hand is something the First Spinjitzu Master experienced himself."

"And what does Lloyd have that the FSM did, again? Power," Jay said, flailing his arms for emphasis. "We're not talking about just any power here — the golden shit."

"So you're saying Lloyd turned himself into a baby," Nya actually sounded more amused than scandalized at the suggestion. "Actually now that I think about it, that makes sense."

Cole stared at her like she'd just conjured a dragon. "Sense?"

"Yup," she hummed, and then gestured to Kai as though she was showing all of them an artistic masterpiece. "Just look at who's his mentor."

Kai let out a pained groan as all eyes fell on him. "Why is it always me—"

"I had hoped you would have an explanation for that," Zane said dryly. Kai buried his face into his hands.

"My baby brother, here I come," he mumbled, shaking his head.

Wu to Lloyd later : There is something I haven't told you—

Thanks for the ask!

Headcannons for the Hellspawn AU

The Kid

Basically just like Lloyd. Pale blonde hair, red eyes. Kinda has her dad's fangs.

Has a sweet tooth even worse than Lloyd's and Cole's. Lloyd used to give in to her demands until Zane knocked some sense into him about why not to give too much sugar in children.

Of all the ninja and other than her dad, Cole's her favorite. Just look at his interactions with little Wu and you'll see why.

As a toddler, she was a mischievous little runt, and once when lloyd was trying to take something from her, she bit him. Yes, she bit the guy who GAVE her the fangs.

She drove Lloyd crazy when she was an infant. Greenie was literally about to burst into tears when Sensei G noticed one night and decided to help him. In the end, Sensei G had two kids to console. One was his crying grandchild, and the other was his stressed out son.

Her first word wasn't papa or dada. It was sugar. Lloyd still hasn't forgiven her for that, but the others find it hilarious, considering that he'd once said he couldn't love anything more than candy.

Once, she got her hands on Lloyd's sword because of amazing parenting. Yeah...just thank the fsm that Kai was there before she could get other ideas.

But on another occasion, she managed to get her hands on Nya's knives by sneaking into her room on the bounty. The first thing she did when she toddled out was chase a shrieking Jay while holding them. My poor man was hysterical.

Because of her father's request, she was kept out of the spotlight all her life. The media didn't know Lloyd had a kid until after Stiix. And yup, that just means the fan girl craze in S6 was even worse.

She used Montrositea on a plant during Wu's Teas. And it also went after Jay.

Lloyd

Poor bean suffered some minor hair loss in S3-pre S5. Half of it was because his kid kept pulling it while the other half, was actually the result of him often pulling at it in frustration at how hard it is to raise a mini version of himself.

But don't worry, he's fine now. (Kai just threatened to kill him if he even dared to touch his hair for no reason, and Pixal recommended some other ways to help him calm down)

At first, he was really hesitant to let her ride with him on his dragon because of the fear of her falling off. However, when he saw Cole give her the ride she'd been asking for quite a while and nothing happened, he finally stopped being paranoid. (It totally wasn't because he was jealous of Cole)

Funnily and sadly enough, the first bedtime story Lloyd ever read to her was Jack the Rabbit — a.k.a, the book Wu read to him in Season 1 in Never Trust A Snake — a.k.a the one about not trusting snakes. Well to be fair, she could've also inherited his brain cells and stupidity and do the same thing his nine-year-old self did so.....yeah, this is completely warranted.

He sews his kid her own clothes when he has the time — we all saw his sewing skills in that Darkley's episode — he's good at it, guys.

Sometimes, he wonders if there will be a day she'll inherit his element and he'll lose his powers. Not that he's being selfish — he's just worried about how he's going to continue being a ninja without his powers. He had a kid young so he's going to lose his powers young. That's kind of a tough pill to swallow, especially considering how he was at the beginning of S9.

He often thinks that he's the worst choice of a parent but despite that, he still tries his best. Even if he knows he's still trying to figure out things.

Nya

Hellspawn usually calls her Aunt Ni, because when she was younger, "NI-YA" was a lot harder to pronounce. So Ni just stuck.

She's the best aunt — who also won't hesitate to reprimand her little brother's offspring when necessary. And give Lloyd a piece of her mind for enabling her on some occasions too — which are a lot of occasions, actually.

Nya loves dolling her up, you know? Helping her do her hair, buying her clothes etc. And she teaches Lloyd different styles to do it himself when she has the chance (cuz this dude was panicking the entire time of not knowing how tf to do hair)

She taught hellspawn swimming when she was really young. Kai thought she was trying to kill her lol.

Also, she constantly loves cheekily comparing how raising S1 Lloyd was to helping to raise his hellspawn. Lloyd's daughter is a little better behaved than the 'lil terror Lloyd was, so she guesses somebody must be doing a good job, then.

Kai

Kai often gives Lloyd some tips about childcare since he practically raised Nya himself.

He told his honorary niece about the time Lloyd had a wannabe overlord phase and demanded candy from an entire village, so Lloyd put green dye in his hair gel.

Ever since he made Lloyd a sword, hellspawn's been pleading for him to make her one. Jay always begs Kai to not do it each time (well to be fair, the poor guy's still traumatized from that one game of tag. we can't blame him)

She spends the most time with kai during winter because that's when this man feels like a fucking furnace. Like, she'll just lie in his arms with no intentions of leaving them until the season's over and not even Lloyd can take her from him.

Jay

Jay, being the Master of Lightning, was the one who comforted her when she was afraid of storms.

Just like Lloyd, I believe this man has a candy stash...and one day when she couldn't figure out where her dad hid his candy after she found it the night before, she decided to go after Jay's.

Jay and Nya teamed up to build her a little toy for Christmas once. She loved it so much that she threw it at Lloyd to show it to him and it hit him squarely on the face. (ouch) But the toy survived though!

Cole

The favourite uncle, self-explanatory.

Won't hesitate to pick her up when she asks. She really likes sitting on his shoulders since it's higher up than the others.

She actually likes it when Cole sings, and the Glow Worm song is her favorite. Jay's just convinced that the song had damaged her hearing at some point which is probably why her ears love Cole's singing. Oh well.

When Cole was a ghost, she was sad that he couldn't hug her like he used to but she eventually got used to it. She then ended up loving running into Cole and phasing through him whenever she could and since Cole was a ghost for more than a whole year, it was hard to make her remember the fact that running through him right now wasn't such a good idea.

Zane

Zane taught Lloyd some tricks such as the one where parents blend vegetables into smoothies so kids don't taste it. Lloyd's first thought was that Zane had definitely done this before when he'd been younger, while Cole remains horrified to this day that his favorite cake contains beetroot.

Zane often helps her with her homework when she doesn't understand something.

During summer, she does the same thing she did with Kai during winter. And Nya's the only one who can get her off him, mostly because hellspawn can just ask her to splash her instead.

Hellspawn's birthdays throughout the seasons/years?

1st birthday

pre s4

Sensei G's monastery

unfortunately, it wasn't really a good one, because Zane wasn't there — we all know why :( — and the team was pretty much a split up mess. It was fortunate the other three at least made an effort to show up, but it really felt like there was something missing.

Kai bought his honorary niece some baby hair clips — cuz hair is priority — and Lloyd sucks with his own hair, so he's trying to help the kid out.

Nya, on the other hand, was like "I'm gonna turn this kid into a future builder" so she got her some blocks.

Cole and Jay each got her an onesie...the same one. (sigh) They ended up bickering about it during the entire party.

Sensei G and Misako gave her a stuffed dragon that... looks familiar to Lloyd in a way. Wu just nods at Lloyd knowingly.

Meanwhile Lloyd wanted to make her first birthday as special as possible even though he knew she wouldn't remember it so he made her a mini version of his gi. Sadly, it didn't take long for her to grow out of it and that gave Lloyd some grief....well, lots of grief.

2nd birthday

This one was shortly after Stiix

a whole lot better than the first. They celebrated on the bounty

Zane was there (Yay!), and baked the cake. He (and Pixal) also got her some of those sortable shape toys to exercise brainpower. Nya just says it's because no one wants hellspawn to get Lloyd's iq and... Pixal agrees.

Lloyd bought her some finger paints...which she loved so much that she used them on his hair and face. Her excuse was that Unca' Zane had taught her that paper was bad for trees so naturally, she decided to go for another green source.

Jay got her another version of Mister Cuddlywomp, while Cole showed up with a toy piano — his dad's idea, actually. "Introducing kids to music at a young age is a great way to encourage brain development"...(and turn them into musicians, goes unsaid)

Once again, Kai was like "my niece better be stylish and not have little gremlin Lloyd's horrible taste" and got her a leather jacket — toddler size, of course. This guy even brought some sunglasses and a hat. Nya thinks it looks ridiculous.

Meanwhile, Nya came with some bath toys — which she designed herself to be durable enough against the strong waves of the sea. (She's still not over her new Master of Water status)

Misako got her a book full of children's stories — maybe a collection of legends would be more accurate. She's the historian of the family for a reason.

Dareth gave her a mini plushie of himself and she kept pointing out how much the plushie's eyebrows don't even look anything like his real ones.

3rd birthday

some time before Day of the Departed

on the destiny's bounty

Hellspawn wanted to learn airjitzu but that was quickly out of the question — she's too young. And for FSM's sake, she hasn't even learned spinjitzu yet. So that was instantly a no.

So, Misako was like: just do what your father did with you. He didn't listen to me, but you turned out just fine — I still do not understand how you even turned out just fine!

Which was why Lloyd decided to put her on his shoulders and spin around until they were both surrounded by green. Mission accomplished.

But it is only that he realizes that he'd forgotten the fact she'd just eaten some of the cake earlier and has the stomach of a nauseous toddler. Too bad it's too late to do anything. Lloyd ended up needing a shower shortly after that. Jay got a picture :(

4th birthday

pre s8

The apartment Lloyd was stuck living in during the year they were looking for Wu.

Dareth decided that she was already old enough to learn a 'sacred' karate move he personally invented. After learning it, she ran to use it on Lloyd.

Misako couldn't show up because she was too far away, but the others managed to come. Except Nya, but she still joined via face time and sent a parcel.

Lloyd made a cake himself instead of relying on Zane and it actually turned out to be edible. Kai was wondering if they'd entered the apartment of an imposter.

But actually, Skylor helped. So yes, the real Green Ninja has not been kidnapped by aliens. Lloyd can be trusted living on his own. A new invasion isn't coming, So Kai, stop setting chopsticks on fire, Nya can't save your ass—

5th birthday

At the monastery, post MoTo

Unfortunately, there's a reason Garmadon isn't here (I've added it in that post about how the ninja managed to take care of hellspawn)

That morning, Wu finds a strange package left outside, with a note that just says Happy Birthday in messy, familiar handwriting. He knows very well who it's from and opens the package to find a plushie of a plant...an unusual choice from someone like him.

Wu then just lies that it's a gift from a fan and the ninja believe him. So Lloyd lets hellspawn have it.

He ends up despising the gift during Crystalized. 😭

6th birthday

pre s13

celebrated in kindergarten. Which Jay jokes was merely done because Lloyd doesn't want their presence.

But actually, Lloyd does. Because he's getting too many stares and questions from the other kids and he's only doing this because hellspawn wanted to after she saw her classmate do something like this. They celebrated again at the monastery hours later.

And Lloyd gets to meet the boy hellspawn made immediate friends with and finally has confirmation that he's being overprotective over nothing.

Does hellspawn make new friends at school?

Do they go on cute misadventures together?

So far, the idea is that she'll be friends with a boy named Luke, and they'll cause a lot of shenanigans as she ages...and give Lloyd some well-deserved heart attacks (Kai's laughing about karma right now)

One time she and Luke basically just snuck off during a field trip to the zoo and they freed a baby elephant, which made its mother go vicious mode — to this day, Nya is still wondering how the heck did they even do this. I mean...to be fair it isn't as bad as her father releasing tribes of snake people but...really? I can't have even ONE rational person in this family?

And at first when she joined her class, there were a few kids that pointed a lot at her red eyes and found them creepy. Well...Lloyd actually showed them red eyes when he found out and basically just showed them a younger pic of himself to tell them that yeah, the Green Ninja they idolized used to have red eyes too so it doesn't mean that she's the spawn of Satan who eats children for lunch. ( "cries as I remember that she is still called hellspawn" )

Would hellspawn eventually go to school or is she homeschooled?

If she is how will her first day go?

How would the fam react?

How would lloyd feel?

Needless to say, at first, that wasn't even a possibility...because Lloyd here had absolutely no plans of doing such a thing.

After having missed out on 90% of his education and being sent to a school for future overlords, Lloyd didn't really see the need for school. I mean, it wasn't like anyone would even use anything they'd learned from there either.

But actually, his excuses are pure bull because what's actually going on is that this idiot still has Darkley's trauma.

Which is why it wasn't until Nya raised the question to Lloyd one night during dinner — at some point after MoTo — that it finally crossed everyone else's mind that this already-five-year-old-fetus should already be in a classroom.

Well Lloyd immediately pushed for her to be homeschooled because he's not planning on doing what his mother did, but of course that didn't work out. Nya and the others weren't planning on holding back. "She should be making friends, Lloyd— no, Dareth and us don't count, I mean friends her age, and NO you idiot, you are definitely not her friend!"

So yeah, she actually goes to kindergarten one day after a bunch of protests from her aunts and uncles — and after a LOT of research about the school by Zane & Pixal. (at Lloyd's insistence)

Her first day is basically like this :

Everything is fine until the two of them enter the building, and it's time for Lloyd to leave. Hellspawn starts begging him to stay and then Lloyd gets Darkley's flashbacks. For a moment, it's just like that day again — Misako finally letting go of his hand, Misako murmuring promises that she'll come back for him, him starting to feel that something was off, him being told again and again over the years that she hadn't wanted him.

But in the end, he manages to do it. Even though he ends up feeling like a massive jerk for the next few hours until it's time to pick her up. And surprisingly, she had a pretty good day.

What does the public thinks of little hellspawn after her existence is reveled?

Also did the ninja explain everything at the start to nip every future problems in the bud or did they lied about where she came for?

Is she meme'd in amy way maybe or something?

no words can explain how much I love this rn :D

So the idea is that the public finds out about her some time before the beginning of Skybound — when she's about 2. And since this is also during the time the ninja were chucked into as many interviews as possible, the team gets these type of questions a lot. A.K.A; every single blasted time.

It also doesn't help that the number one theory these interviewers have is a teenage pregnancy.

Gayle Gossip: So Mr Garmadon, (insert shocked pikachu face on Lloyd and all the other ninja), what do you think of the current... widespread interest surrounding the identity of the mother of your child?

Lloyd starts choking: W-Wha—

Kai spits out his water at Jay's face : Are you fucking kidding me?

Gayle Gossip ignores him : Also, a great number of your fans have theorized that your daughter was conceived with none other than the Master of Form — whom you have begun a relationship with ever since the Tournament of Elements. What are your thoughts on that speculation, Mr Garmadon?

Nya (groans) : Oh hell no.

Lloyd, panicking : What the heck is it with you and the 'Mr Garmadon' thing, again?!

Gayle Gossip: My apologies. I did not realize that your father's surname was still a rather sensitive topic.

Lloyd stares at her in shock : That's not tru—

Gayle Gossip (coughs) : Now back to our question. Is the current Master of Form truly the mother of your daughter?

Cole looks at her in disbelief : Excuse me, but does she even look like her to you?

Gayle Gossip : I do not recall asking you the question, Earth Ninja.

Lloyd then raises up a hand, finally fed up : Actually, I made her.

Gayle Gossip blinks in surprise : Why...of course. But surely you did not do such a thing alone, Mr Garmado—

Lloyd cuts her off : No. I mean I made her. As in I made made her. *looks at the others for help but gets none* Uh... It's a long story, really.

Gayle Gossip:

Lloyd:

The ninja:

Then, about literally three seconds later,

Gayle Gossip, pretends as though she actually understands: I see...but who is the mother?

And she is memed. A reporter managed to get a picture of her while she was being held by Lloyd and sticking two of her fingers up his nose. The thing is, both of them are middle fingers, so it really looks something like: fuck you for not putting me down for a nap — it's not my fault you just had to go check out the latest Starfarer comic and couldn't find a competent babysitter. And the caption of the meme is literally 'Your honor, I have every right to choose violence' , which is kinda just how the average day looks like for Lloyd.

What if Harumi decided to torture Lloyd, unhinge him, before speaking to him and explaining everything to him in Crystallized? And what if she decided to do that by playing out on his biggest fear—becoming his father?

Just a quick trigger warning: blood, dead bodies, and mentioned cannibalism

_________________________________________

It felt like an eternity had passed before Lloyd finally opened his eyes. Shapes and figures were blurred—colors mixed with no distinct outlines—and he instinctively covered his eyes to block the harsh light. But when his vision adjusted, oh how he wished he could return to the previous moments of visionless bliss. With his vision, the rest of his senses suddenly appeared—something he didn’t even notice was gone in the first place.

He wasn’t sure how he could’ve missed the stench of blood that hung in the air or the deafening screams of unseen citizens. Fog hung low in the air, and greedy fires emitted the harsh light he was just covering from, eating his city away. He stepped back, only to have his foot splash in a pool of blood, triggering his gag reflex.

As he tried to take in his surroundings—to comprehend what he was seeing—a woman stumbled in front of him, snapping him awake. Her clothes, or at least what wasn’t torn, were caked with mud and blood. Her hair was torn in places, and her clear scalp was covered with scratches, just like the rest of her body. He reached out a hand, but, to his utter confusion, she screamed.

“PLEASE NO! Spare me, my lord,” she faced him, eyes brimming with tears, “I have kids! Four of them! Please don’t kill me!”

“Ma’am, I’m only trying to help,” he raised his hands in an assuring manner, “You can tell me where your kids are, and I’ll help you get back to them. I promise.”

She slowly crawled away from him, her whole body shaking like a leaf, repeating, “Not my kids,” over and over again.

“I swear I’m only trying to help!” He took a deep breath, “You might be new here, but I’m the Green Ninja, you know? Helping people is my thing.”

He took a step forward, and, God, if he stabbed her, she wouldn’t have screamed as much as she did.

“PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!”

“Alright, lady, calm down,” his frustration grew with every passing second, and he was barely keeping it in check, “Listen, I’ll leave you, alright? I don’t see any dangers in our immediate surroundings; just stay safe, find your kids, and leave the hell out of here. Sounds good?”

She darted off as fast as her legs could carry her, and he took it as a yes.

Confusion and guilt swarmed his brain as he walked through the streets. The few people he met—all ragged and wounded—reacted similarly, screaming and running left and right. And his friends were nowhere to be seen.

Man, he thought, they sure would be a great load of help right now.

Before he turned onto the next street, the horrible odor intensified, striking his nose strongly, but it was mixed with something else this time. Rotten bananas? No, he pulled out his weapons as realization hit him, It was the smell of bodies; thousands of them concentrated in one place, and a quick look proved his suspicions.

What the hell?

He was about to turn his back to that horrid street, but another realization took control of his limbs, first walking, then running to the heap. His friends…

He scanned the pile for any sign of the—red hair, scarred hands, their gis—anything. In desperation, he prepared himself to climb the heap, but one familiar voice dissolved his doubts, stopping him short. Kai’s.

“What, did you turn to cannibalism already?”

“If you’re searching for something fresh, check the other street; those are days old,” Cole added.

With these remarks, Lloyd expected to see a smile or a smirk on his friends’ faces—not the disgust deeply engraved there.

“Guys, thank God you’re here! Where were you? What happened here?” Shock laced his voice as he studied their torn gis and their fresh wounds, “And where are the others?”

“Not that you care anyway, but they should be coming soon—wouldn’t wanna miss that,” Cole tightened his grip on his hammer, “Now, do you want the easy way or the hard way?’

“What?”

“Dude’s obviously hungry; he probably wants the easy way,” Kai said.

Lloyd put down his sword, shaking his head, “Ha ha, real funny. But can either of you explain what’s going on?”

“Maybe ask yourself, master of destruction,” Nya’s voice, thick with hatred, echoed from behind him before he felt her trident against his back, “Move, and another body will be added to the pile.”

“Nya!” he exclaimed, “Are you OK?”

“That’s hilarious, Lloyd, or should I call you Lord Lloyd, now?” Jay walked into his field of vision, followed closely by Zane.

“You know, at this point, I’m sick of asking, but—”

“He appears to be trying a new strategy,” Zane interrupted.

“What’s it called? Acting all whiny and confused?” Cole’s voice dripped with sarcasm

“Not working so far,” Jay replied, “You need to work on your strategies, Lloyd.”

“Jay, dear, how about we don’t give him any suggestions, mhm? He already conquered Ninjago in less than a week,” Nya said.

“This isn’t funny, guys!” Lloyd protested, “Cut it out!”

He searched their faces for any hints of their condition; whatever caused this might have corrupted them against him, somehow convincing him that he was the root of all this chaos. Their faces, however, showed nothing but anger, hatred, and… was that fear on Jay’s face? And pain in Kai’s eyes?

He held Kai’s glance, trying to speak to him without words, but Kai, who was uncharacteristically quiet, said, “Let’s get it over with.”

“What?!”

Nya struck Lloyd on his head, disorienting him, while Zane froze his feet to the ground. With a quick strike to his wrist, Lloyd’s sword dropped from his hand, and Nya quickly kicked it out of his reach. His other friends encircled him, pulling weapons from pouches on their backs.

Not any weapons.

The Golden Weapons.

An inhuman growl escaped his throat as his heart burned with hurt and shock; his limbs elongated, sending sears of pain through his bones. A new pair of arms sprouted above his waist, sending him into a panic. His eyes filled with tears, refusing to accept what they saw—his Oni form.

No! There’s no way!

It can’t be!

“NOW!” his friends shouted, before jumping at him with weapons directed at his body.

He woke up, gasping, with tears running down his cheeks. His sweaty hands grasped his body, almost expecting himself to be wrapped in bandages but feeling the cloth of his gi instead. The chains around his waist stopped him from sitting up, and the fabric around his eyes prevented him from seeing his surroundings.

A weird laugh, some sort of evil cackle, erupted next to him, “Well, that went better than expected.”

Harumi.

A mixture of feelings squirmed in his gut—panic, sadness, confusion, and, yes, some longing—before finally settling on anger.

“What was that?” His voice rose with every word, burning his throat.

“Oh, nothing, just a little fear serum we wanted to use before you meet the Crystal King.”
