Misty and The Legacy of the Green Ninja (Ninjago)

A Battle Lost But War Yet To Win 25

Misty could feel Lloyd's arm wrapped around her tightly, and she then felt Wu help pull her to her feet and Lloyd's arm and hand disappeared appeared from where it had been as his mother pulled him up as well.

"I tried," he said

"I know," Wu said

"It is done, the balance has shifted," Misako said placing a hand on her son's shoulder.

Misty looked skyward and saw that the clouds were swirling around and around, the Overlord's voice could he heard laughing evilly, she then looked toward Garmadon and he shouted, "Stop laughing now! This is my victory. What's happening?!" he had noticed the now swirling clouds above him as well.

"You've helped offset the balance, because of you, I can now, cross over into your world. I'm finally free!" The Overlord shouted gleefully.

"Wait for a minute, you stole that from my playbook. You can forget about it Ninjago is mine!" Garmadon shouted

"No! It was never going to be yours... It is MINE!" The Overlord shouted

Misty could feel the mystical tension building in the air and she then lunged backward and shoved Lloyd, Wu and Misako back as a blinding flash of light struck Garmadon wind then started whipping around the area and when the group could see again they could only hear Garmadon's shouts of pain.

Jay's voice then said, "Sorry we're late did we miss much?"

Misty could say anything and only managed to point her finger at Garmadon who was now going through a terrifying transformation.

"Holist of Unholies!" Jay shouted as he too watched the disturbing transformation

"What is happening to me!" Garmadon shouted

"Are you scared? I'm scared." Jay admitted his voice reaching several pitches higher than usual.

"Something is very wrong here!" Garmadon screamed and then the Overlord's voice could be heard instead of Garmadon saying, "The Metamorphosis has begun!"

"Metamorphosis? What does that mean?" Kai shouted to Zane

"Metamorphosis is a biological process by which someone or something changes into something new," Zane explained

"Yeah, changes into something ugly!" Cole shouted and pointed to what used to be Garmadon.

"Father!" Lloyd shouted and he started toward the figure but it had no resemblance to what had been Garmadon.

Misty grabbed onto Lloyd's hand and held tight and said: "No, Lloyd it's not safe!"

"She's right Lloyd, that is no longer your father," Wu said

"But what about the prophecy? It said Misty and I had to face my father." Lloyd said and he squeezed Misty's hand as if trying to reassure her.

"You still must, but now the Overlord has possessed him, unlike your father, the Overlord will show you no mercy," Misko said grimly

"You can do this Lloyd," Kai said

"We're here, and behind you all the way," Jay added

"He's tough but you're tougher," Cole said

"But we have to act before his evil gets more powerful," Zane warned

"It's now or never Lloyd," Misty said

"Let's do this," Lloyd said and he flipped up his hood and they ran toward the threat. "Ninja-go!" they all shouted

Lloyd then made a line of green flames and the ninja used it as temporary cover as then jumped through it to reach the army, and began making progress in fighting the Overlord's minions.
