Ninjago Is The Revolution | Ninjago AU

Prologue

"There is nothing that will hold me back. I know who I am!"

"Whatever happens next, just remember... you are the best you."

"Dad!-"

The three guardians of Ninjago, the ninja, had found their True Potential. But when it was time for the fourth to unlock his true potential, he couldn't. He abandoned his destiny, leaving it behind to slowly burn to its death.

"Come on, wh- why won't my power unlock!" Kai, the ninja of fire said while stuck in a burning volcano surrounded by lava.

"Kai! Help me!" Lloyd Garmadon, son of Lord Garmadon, yelled in all his despair for the master of fire to come to his aid. The lava surrounded the young child closer and closer. He feared for his life. His life flashed before his very eyes. His parents abandoning him. Him being bullied and assaulted at school. Him being betrayed by the first and only friend he's ever made. Uncle Wu reading him bedtime stories. His father coming back into his life. The ninja friends he's made.

Kai was looking over at the Fangblade, the one weapon he must absolutely obtain. If he fails to get it, Ninjago will be doomed. Ninjago will fall like domino bricks. Pythor must never obtain all four Fangblades.

Kai looked at Lloyd. He was a child that had a terrible youth but was deep down still a sweet child. A child that kept smiling no matter how bad he felt, even when the only way out he saw was awakening ancient tribes of snakes.

While the blade was slowly falling deeper and deeper into the lava, Lloyd looked at Kai in all his despair. Please help me, his facial expressions said.

Kai looked back and forth, not knowing what to choose.

"Kai!"

He made his choice.

"I'm sorry kid, the fangblade is too important to lose!"

"Wh-what are you saying Kai! This place is falling apart, forget about that dumb Fangblade!"

But it was too late, with a 'Ninjago!' Kai spinned towards the Fangblade. Leaning towards the edge of the lava, Kai was within reach to grab the blade.

With his last breath of air, with a face full of tears, Lloyd proclaimed to Kai "I hate you Kai... I thought we were friends, I thought I could trust you. Guess I was wrong. I should have known... known better than to trust people..."

And with that, the piece of rock Lloyd was standing on dissolved into the lava and with it Lloyd fell towards his end. His voice yelled in pain, His skin melted off in horror and his skull floated towards Kai before dissolving into ashes.

"Wh- wh- wh- WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" Witnessing the horror before his eyes, Kai wished he had made the right decision instead. Stopping Pythor isn't going to magically make him the green ninja. Someone else... Someone like Lloyd should've been the green ninja. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

The volcano was about to fall apart but kai stood there, yelling his despair to the heavens. The heavens replied, a piece of the volcano came falling down crushing Kai's head and breaking his neck. His corpse with half a face fell down in the lava, burning away his regrets.

"Kai!" "Son!" said the ones closest to the burned corpses, as they watched the volcano erupt from far apart.

This was ten years ago, the key event that triggered the downfall of Ninjago. In his rage, Garmadon killed Wu and crashed the Destiny's bounty into the volcano. Pythor awakened the Great Devourer and got eaten by it. The Great Devourer ravaged Ninjago and continued to do so for the ten years since. The ninja had tried many times since then to defeat the beast and save as many civilians as they could, but even the ninja had a breaking point.
