Chosen (Lloyd X Reader)

The Day Ninjago Stood Still

I watch Lloyd carefully as the boys surround him, preparing to attack him. The blonde holds his stance, trying to listen in to their movements as his eyes are blindfolded. Just another way to try to get him prepared for his future fight with his father. Jay and Zane hold their weapons tightly, being cautious with every move they make as they try not to alert Lloyd of their locations. Kai aims his wooden sword at Lloyd, trying to be careful not to hurt him too much. The four of them start closing in on him as Cole gives him some instructions. "Don't rely on your eyes. Use your ears."

"Exactly. You have to rely on your other senses. Ninjas use everything they can after all."

Dareth walks into the Dojo, looking at all of us in concern, and stands next to me. "Uh, guys, I'm teaching a class later, so I'd appreciate a clean dojo."

I whisper to Dareth, "Don't worry. I'll make sure they clean up if they make any mess."

He nods hesitantly, not knowing how bad it's about to get. Although I responded to Dareth, the others ignored him, knowing if they broke concentration, then the training session could go wrong. And right on cue, the sparring begins.

Each elemental ninja throws their attack at Lloyd, but because of him learning so quickly, he manages to effortlessly dodge or block their attacks like nothing. Not even a scratch lands on him. It's almost as if he's able to predict their moves. He's listening well to their movements, but his fighting and position are a bit messy.

"Remember to make sure when you're using a weapon to account for the extra length. When fighting with your fists, hit with your knuckles for maximum effect. And make sure to be as quiet as possible as well. Ninjas are quiet and keep strong form."

Lloyd nods as he manages to grab Jay's arm and throws him against the trophy shelf, knocking the wind out of him. The shelf breaks causing all of the said trophies to fall onto Jay and he lets out a yelp of pain. "Hey!"

However, Dareth is more worried about other things as he runs over to Jay and quickly pushes him away, picking up his fake, broken trophies and looking at them in dismay. "Ah! No, no, no! No, no, no! No! No, no, no!"

As the boys throw out more attacks at Lloyd, nothing seems to faze him. He just manages to dodge their attacks. I smile at Lloyd, seeing how far he's progressed and knowing he's going to go far.

Kai swings his sword at Lloyd, though luckily, the blonde dodges it effortlessly and kicks him in the stomach. He then uses his powers to push back the hot head slightly setting the ground fire. This causes Dareth to panic and he quickly puts it out. That's when Jay charges at Lloyd, but even if he's fast as lightning, his breathing gives him away as Lloyd grabs his arm and throws him. Dareth takes that opportunity to open the window causing the blue ninja to fly out of the room and onto the street.

Dareth quickly shuts the window, locking Jay out and of course, this freaks the teenager out. I sigh seeing the chaos happen before shaking my head. I decide to go in just because Lloyd needs a challenge and because he's kinda thrown most of the guys onto the ground and they're out. Besides, Dareth is on the brink of tears with how his Dojo is coming out.

I make no sound as I swiftly move across the ground and every time Lloyd senses me coming, I effortlessly dodge it. I smirk before kneeing his stomach and he lets out a yelp before falling to the ground in pain.

"Ugh... Yeah, you got me."

I smile as I pat his head. "You did well. But you got nothing on me heh. Still have a lot to learn." I turn my attention to the Dojo seeing it in shambles as I sigh. "Sorry Dareth. I didn't expect this to happen just so quickly."

I turn to the boys all on the ground. "Since you guys caused this mess, you guys can clean this up."

They all give me thumbs up as Jay bangs on the window, begging to be let back in.
