As If You'd Loved Me Again {Ninjago fanfic/Llorumi}

Chapter 9: Plan of Betrayal

~|Lloyd's POV|~

~|3 weeks later|~

"Lloyd, you need to embrace all your emotions to control your oni form!" My father yelled; Growing a little impatient.

"ERGH! I've tried that already, dad!" I yelled back at him. I was on my last nerve.

"Well clearly not hard enough! Try again!" My father ordered.

I began to focus. I brought all of my feelings together. How I felt when I held a certain someone's hand, how I felt with my friends. The pain I felt, fighting my father for the second time, the pain thinking Harumi was dead for all those years. When Zane sacrificed his life against the Overlord. From a hand in hand pose, I went into a fighting stance.

Garmadon sighed, pinching the radix of his nose. "Lloyd... You're on the right track—just not on the right, right track."

I sighed in defeat. Why can't I do it? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Am I not putting enough feeling into it? Is my stance wrong? What is it? Why?

"We'll try again tomorrow. Rest up, son." Garmadon calmly spoke.

I watched him walk away to his room in the monastery. Sighing, I went to the library to meditate. I just need to clear my mind. So much tension was around me.

~|Harumi's POV|~

I saw Lloyd's frustration, watching from the front door of the monastery. If only I could help in some sort of way, some advice, maybe even a tea to help him focuse. I doubt there's any tea of that sort though...... Come on... You were an evil leader of Ninjago once. I'm sure I can think of something...

"Hmm.... Evil leader....."

...

"That's it!"

~|Lloyd's POV|~

"Lloyd! Wake up! It's time to train."

Ergh..... Morning already.... They tell me to take a break, now this?!

"I'll be up soon, Kai!" I yelled back to him at the other side of the door.

Getting out of bed, I got myself ready.

~~~

I sighed, walking out of the building. Did we have to train? It's a Saturday... Weekends are usually days of rest. Weekends? Hehe.... Weekend whip.... Maybe I could play that while we train.

"Lloyd!" My father caught my attention. "It's time to practice."

I turned to his direction, and nodded. The others were training with eachother. Kai was training with Cole. Nya was training with Jay. And Zane? He was with Pixel finishing up the base under the monastery. How long have they been fixing it? A month? I haven't been down there in a bit. I should go down there sometime to check up how much progress they've made.

I stood in a fighting stance opposite from my father. Him and I usually start with a little fighting match. I quite enjoy spending some time with my father. Even though, sometimes we get on each other's last nerve. We fought with smiles on our faces.

Our little battle together soon ended, and began to train to control my oni form.

Focus..

Breath...

Control....
