I watch the sunset on the Deck, letting the rays of the sun warm me up before it falls behind the horizon. The wind blows through my hair as I brush some of it to the side, making sure it's out of my face. I tighten the belt around my gi and look at myself, still trying to get accustomed to my aged-up body. Although I've been able to adapt my fighting skills to my teenage body, my control over my powers isn't the same.

I thought I would be able to control my powers more now that I'm older and to a certain extent I can, but for some reason, whenever I try to go for more, it feels like I'm being blocked. Almost as if I'm just not ready for them yet.

"Just how does Lloyd do this?..."

I sigh, deciding to just try whatever move feels right and see what happens. I close my eyes, letting my sense take over. My foot glides across the wooden floor as I take out my fans and open them. As I move around my arms, my fans swiftly dance across the air along with my leg's movement. Purple light particles begin to swirl around me and a cloud of purple dust begins to fill the deck as the wind blows through the sails of the ship, rocking it a bit. The more I move, the more I let my mind run free.

Now that I'm older... My powers are getting stronger... I can feel them getting stronger and it's becoming harder to control... I need to control my powers before they control me. I need to learn how to understand my powers and what they are. Who is that person that keeps on talking to me with that tea?... Why am I here in the first place? What is even going on?... Just why really? Who am I really?...

While I'm lost in my thoughts, a familiar blonde watches me from afar, seeing purple magic slowly build around me. His eyes widen in awe and curiosity watching my movements flow ever so smoothly and the power twirling around, shaking the Bounty ever so slightly.

Just what is going on with me?... I'm so close to figuring out everything... I just need to-

Suddenly, a flash of random images quickly runs through my head, each one showing diffident events that have happened and some... some that I can't make out. Eventually, a bright light snaps me out of my trance as a wave of power is released from me and knocks Lloyd and I down to the ground. It shakes the Bounty more violently and as a result, cuts off the power on the ship as well.

I quickly open my eyes and look around, frantically as I sit up. "Uh... Did I do- Lloyd?! What are you doing here?!... Are you okay?! That was... insane."

Lloyd simply sits up and looks at me. "You're powers are... strong. Very strong"

And proceeds to fall back and passes out.

"Lloyd! Don't die on me! I can't lose my partner in crime!"

After waking Lloyd up from the power coma, I took him to the training room. The boys, Sensei, and Nya were waiting for him inside, waiting to train so he can get more accustomed to his newfound body. Lately, he's been able to make good progress with the training and he's even getting faster thanks to his aging up really.

I stand next to Sensei and Nya, seeing the boys train Lloyd. "He's doing so well. Almost as good as when you first taught me, Sensei."

Nya simply stares at him in awe, seeing how fast he's grown. "Since he's grown, he's learning faster, Sensei."

"But will it be enough to challenge Garmadon? Only time will tell..." Sensei says, worried about what the future might hold for his family.

"It definitely won't be easy... But, with being aged up, it feels easier to train and learn really. Including myself. I'm not sure how to explain it but being aged up feels... right. Except for my powers of course. They're still a bit unstable heh. But it does feel like I'm growing stronger with each passing day."
