My father looked at me, "Shadow, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

I sighed, "I know you don't know your emotions anymore, as you're full Oni, but I need to ask this. Does the Oni, once you fully unlock your Oni self, does it take away all your emotions? Or is it just some? I don't understand. I wouldn't feel any emotions for a while, then I'd be angry, have fear, not be in love with my boyfriend anymore, have feelings for someone else, it's all messy. I'm confused. I'm hurting. I don't understand, Father.."

Garmadon sighed, "You may have unlocked your Oni side, but you have yet to understand your Oni side. Your Oni side will continue to ruin your life until you truly become one with it."

"How do I do that, Dad? I don't want it to continue to ruin my life. I want to be able to love Cole, I want to be able to be with the group and not get mad at them. I want to be able to do the thing I love to do with them."

"In order to fully understand your Oni, I suggest you let it take control of you, you master your Oni again, and take control. Understand what happens when you're in control. Understand your Oni self. Mistaké was able to control her Oni and use it to her will and you can do the same."

"But, I'm scared....."

He came up to me and took me by the hand, "I'm right here for you, Shadow. I'll help you through it. Oni may be in my blood, but I know when emotion should be needed."

I took a deep breath and let the darkness consumed me. My once icy blue eyes now purple. My Oni side fully came out and it was taking over me.

My father nodded, "Good, now take a deep breath and feel the Oni within you. Once you feel it, take control of it. Your Oni is all darkness, so it will make sure it takes over you, making sure that you won't be able to feel, but if you take control before it does, then you'll be able to control it fully."

I took a deep breath, focusing on my Oni side. I felt the power coursing through my veins, the evil trying to consume me. I took the opportunity to control my Oni side. My Oni kept trying to fight me, trying to take over but I knew I had to be stronger. I knew I had to be stronger than the darkness. I was full Oni, I had to take control of it because I control the darkness, not the Oni. The power was immaculate once I started to take control. I felt me taking control and I smiled. I looked at my dad, taking my original form back. I could control when I turned to Oni and when I wanted to be back to my normal self.

With my Oni now controlled, I felt my emotions back. I felt normal again. The darkness didn't keep me in the dark, didn't keep me from feeling the depression I was facing anymore. I felt alive knowing I can finally be myself, "Thank you, Dad."

Garmadon smiled, "Of course, Shadow. If you need anything else, just let me know. Like I said, I may be full Oni, no other emotions in me, but I know I used to care about you guys so I will try to find it and make sure I know that you guys came to me whenever you need me."

I gave him a hug and spoke, "Thank you. I have to get going now and get with the others. We have a damn snake to defeat."

"Good luck, Shadow."

I teleported to where the others were. They just saved this news reporter and I was chilling on Cole's bike, waiting for him to turn around. Coke turned around and saw me. He immediately ran to me and hugged me, "Shadow, you're back!" He gave me a kiss.

"Yes, I am. I've finally took control over my Oni. My father helped me out."

He was confused, "You went to Garmadon?"

I nodded, "I had to. I wasn't in control of my Oni and it put me in major depression, no feelings, and other things. I needed to take control of it to get to by myself once again. I feel better than ever, Cole. I'm happy again."
