Post-battle
A memorial of Garmadon's face is built in the Corridor of Elders, which technically means he fulfilled his dream of creating the world in his own image.
After everyone left, Lloyd returned to the Corridor however, to cry his heart out after losing his father once more, Lloyd uses this to strengthen his 'Green Ninja' personification, using his father's words and teachings to guide him, Morro learns of Lloyd because of this.

At some point in time, the ninja had an encounter with Ronin, who ultimately abandons them in a precarious situation.

(The last part with Lloyd in the Post-Battle is strictly for this AU, it doesn't happen in canon, I just wanted to give insight on Lloyd's mental stability at that time.)
