Blown Away (Lloyd Garmadon x Reader)

The Stone Army

(y/n)  stood at the nose of the Destiny's Bounty, she had been given a grey gi, the others were below deck training, She would have joined them but combat isn't where her skills needed to be honed. She felt like she could do more with her power instead of small gusts of wind. She was physically and mentally older now and it came with new territory. The wind was more sensitive to her changes in emotion, it was a lot easier to control she knew that if she tried she could probably knock the bounty from the sky.

"(y/n)!" someone called out her name. She pivoted on her toes so that she could turn and face Lloyd who called her name from the deck of the bounty. With a small leap she had joined him on safe ground again, "I thought you'd get blown off the side of the ship," Lloyd commented as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. It made him fear the worst as the only thing that kept her aboard the bounty was the tips of her toes, it was definitely a precarious exercise and he had a feeling that (y/n) paid no heed to the danger.

(y/n) rolled her eyes as she crossed her arms, "I am the Master of Wind, it'll take a cyclone for the wind to blow me away," she huffed, did everyone on the ship underestimate her? She shot Lloyd a short frown, she thought that she had proved she was capable of handling herself in the training matches but it seems that the Ninja would remain skeptical.

Lloyd leaned over the railing staring out at the endless blue sky, "do you regret giving up our childhood?" he asked her with a small smile. She leaned her back against the railing, her arms still crossed as she looked upwards, she wondered what would today have been like if they events of yesterday did not happen.

"I don't know," she shrugged, "It's just what the cards of fate dealt and besides what choice did we have, it was either use the tea or watch as the Ninja get eaten and I think I know the more favorable choice," she quipped,

"You didn't have to though, you could have run," Lloyd speculated as he rested a hand on her shoulder. (y/n) rolled her eyes again and gave Lloyd a blank stare.

"And let you get ahead of me, no way," she scoffed. Lloyd stared at her sorrowfully but he could see that in her eyes she had no remorse. He never noticed her eyes before, her (e/c) eyes were enchanting, they held an element of gentleness yet unpredictability, it made something in his chest flutter because that gaze was fixed on him. That gaze suddenly filled with a mischief, "in fact let's go a round," she challenged.

Lloyd grinned as he moved to stand at the other end of the deck and put his fists up, "are you sure about that? I'm a lost stronger than yesterday," he grinned. He remembered that he got demolished yesterday but he thought he had figured out her fighting style, he noticed that she like to dance around her opponent, use their strength against them and she made her move when they least expected it. In comparison to Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane, she was a different opponent because of her speed.

(y/n) got into her usual fighting stance, and didn't say another word as a confident grin spread across her face. In the corner of her eye she watched Jay, Cole, Zane, Kai and Sensei Wu walk out onto the deck and stand on the side, she pain them no attention as she surveyed Lloyd. 

"$10 bucks on (y/n)!" Jay shouted

"No way Lloyds got this in the bag," Kai piped up.

"In a logical sense Lloyd will win the fight," Zane bet.

"I hate to agree with Jay but Lloyd's about to get wrecked," Cole pointed out.

Lloyd was the first to attack as he threw a punch at her, he expected her to step to the left, but when his foot met air he found himself kicked in the back and sent to the floor. He realized that he had gotten stronger and she became faster. He got up from the floor and (y/n) made a 'come at me motion' with her left hand. With a cry Lloyd ran at her again and tried to predicted which way she would dodge. But before he could predict her next move the wind was knocked out of him as she jabbed at his solar plex and the with a round house kick she sent him to the ground. He groaned, she wasn't attempting to dodge this time, she had switched up her battle style to remain unpredictable and Lloyd was now suffering the extent of that fighting style.
