This isn't good! I knew we shouldn't have left Lloyd all home alone. God we're all so stupid!" Jay ranted as they all looked across their deserted apartment, Master Wu holding a note in his hand. "How did it come to this..."

Scales carried an unconscious Lloyd to the Chambers which held the other serpentine generals. "I got the boy. Now time to go to Garmadon." The others nodded at their leader as they got on the bus and went off to the ancient city of Oroborus. Lloyd woke up on the way but he was already trapped in metal chains with a gag on so he couldn't yell for help.

As they arrived Scales ordered hypnobri to take them to Garmadon, they gladly did so after seeing the green ninja in Scales' possession. They walked through the city to see Garmadon inspecting weapons the serpentine trained with, he stopped the moment he saw Scales and the other generals.

"Lloyd?" His tone of aggression and confusion would've scared any sane human luckily Scales was not sane nor human. "We have your sssssson you will hand over my army back to me."

Garmadon raised his eyebrow. "And what if I refuse? I could kill all of you right now."

The serpentine laughed or more cackled at Garmadons words. "Oh! You sssssssem to forget your sssssson, I could kill him with one sssssswing of my ssssssword." After finishing speaking Scales took out a sword holding it at Lloyd's neck as the little boy stood petrified.

"We give you ten hoursssss to meet our requessssst."

They slithered off with Lloyd in hold as the young boy thrashed around trying to escape to his father. The Constrictis hold grew on him almost choking the boy to death, it was only strong enough to knock the 10 year old unconscious though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lloyd's eyes, while tired, opened to be met with Scales' red ones. "Who knew that the little boy who freed our tribessss would turn out to be the Lord of Darknessssss ssssson." Lloyd jumped back surprised at hearing his own voice yelp. "Wh-what are you gonna do to me?" He wanted to shout again but because of the Constrictis grip he only managed to cough out those words.

"Oh well your father will be handing me my own army in around ten hoursssss so we might as well..... Train. You are a ninja aren't you?" Lloyd, still shaking in fear, turned his head slightly in confusion. "T-train?"

The serpentine nodded moving his face so Lloyd could see their surroundings, it looked like the first tomb he'd opened... That explained the coldness he felt.

The boy was pushed to the ground and quickly stood regaining his balance. "Your letting me out my chains?" Scales nodded. "We yesssss you are jussssst a boy after all."

Lloyd grunted at that. 'I'm also a ninja....'

Before he could react a tail was whipped in his direction, venomari venom was directed towards him but he kartwheeled out of the way, he nearlly tripped on his feet but the ninja taught him how to avoid that and he landed his balance.

The boy had attacks coming at him left and right, he was hit a few times, dodged a few times and got knocked down a few times. They only stopped when the boy was on the verge of passing out, why the serpentine did this? He had no clue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Garmadon paced back and fourth on the bounty of the ninja, when they arrived in Oroborus to find the serpentine they only found a distressed Garmadon who rushed over to his brother shouting that they had to find Lloyd.

The little 10 year old boy was so important to the two brothers that they put aside their constant fight of good and dark, Lloyd was more important. But while that's what the brothers thought the ninja not so much.

Still suspicious of Garmadon they began to avoid the Warlord unless he was with Wu or they were discussing where to look next. Nya suggested they look around the old serpentine tombs, it seemed most logical that's where the snakes would be, according to her atleast.

They travelled for hours before finally reaching the first tomb that had been opened and started this whole ordeal. The hypnobri tomb, Garmadon went in first seeing the snake generals fighting his son.

Lloyd was beaten up, he was kneeling on one knee while the other seemed to be limp and potentially broken, his face was ragged and bore an expression one should not see on a 10 year old boy, his nose was bloodied and his arms seemed shattered holding up his elemental shield as the generals attacked him.

....

Elemental shield? When did he learn to do that?

Garmadon charged af the snakes diverting their attention from Lloyd to him and the ninja, he attacked Scales first cutting the serpentines head off before he could do anything. The other generals tried to escape but were easily stopped by the ninja.

Dropping his sword Garmadon went over to his kneeling son hugging the frail child. "D-dad..?" Feeling the Lord of Darkness' embrace Lloyd began to cry into his father's shoulder before promptly passing out from the loss of stamina.

Nya began to treat Lloyd's injuries right away, Garmadon let her, on the bounty during their search Nya had said these words. "Lloyd is my little brother, I'll stop at nothing to find him." Out of everyone aside Wu, Garmadon trusted Nya the most.

His son was now safe back with him and the other Ninja.

It's just a shame he'd soon have to fight that said son.
