A GreenFlame Twist

SoG Episode 9, True Potential ; & ; SoG Episode 10, Big Trouble, Little Ninjago

A/N: I try to use as much of the actual dialogue and character actions from the episodes as I can. I'm sorry if I get anything wrong, it is purely unintentional. Also, I do not own Ninjago and credit for all show dialogue and characters goes to their owners.

————————————————————————

The Ninja are on the Bounty, panicking about Lord Garmadon's return:

"This is not good. This is really not good." Cole is pacing back and forth in the bridge, wringing his hands in front of him in a worried way.

"You barely beat them last time." Pixal says.

"And that was when we had the help of the entire police force." Zane points out.

"And now they have Lord Garmadon on their side." Nya adds.

"We have to go to Kryptarium Prison." Lloyd says, standing up with a determined look on his face.

"Okay. We take on Garmadon, Harumi, and her entire gang, while they're fortified in an impenetrable bunker. Not the best idea. Anyone have anything else?" Jay asks, looking up from his own pacing, and as no one says anything he continues, saying sarcastically, "Okay, not all at once. One at a time, please."

"I have to face him. I turned him once. I can turn him again." Lloyd says, walking over to the railing of the Bounty.

"Uh, Greenie, that sounds like a really bad idea." Kai says coming up behind Lloyd to rest a hand on his shoulder.

"And Kai knows bad ideas. He's full of them." Cole says, and Kai turns to glare at him while Jay lets out a snort of laughter.

"I agree. It's too dangerous. That's exactly what they want." Zane says.

"And, Lloyd, you heard what the Commissioner said about your father. It's not him anymore." Nya adds.

Lloyd tightens his grip on the railing and says, "We don't know that. I-I have to try."

"I believe in this instance, your past may be clouding your judgment, Lloyd." Zane says.

Jay nods his head in agreement, saying, "Yeah, you're just gonna have to trust us. We need to stay as far away from that place as possible." The others all nod and make noises in agreement.

Then Cole says, "Listen to the Lord of the Jig. He's right on this one." Causing Jay to scoff and glare at Cole for bringing up that nickname again.

Kai tries to figure out what his boyfriend is thinking, but Lloyd's face is turned away from him, preventing this.

Then, unexpectedly Lloyd lets out a sigh of defeat and says, "Okay, then what do we do?"

Kai is suspicious about this sudden change. Lloyd isn't one to give in so easily. Kai wonders what his boyfriend is up to, but Lloyd's facial expressions and body language don't give anything away.

Meanwhile at Kryptarium Prison:

Garmadon is in one of the courtyards of the prison, fighting several of the Sons of Garmadon all at once. Harumi watches from close by.

As Garmadon defeats the last of the gang members, Harumi approaches him, saying, "Good. Your strength has returned. But there's still so much more. All those years, your father and brother kept the truth from you. They were afraid of what you'd become. The blood of both Oni and Dragon flows through you. You have the power to create and destroy."

Garmadon says in a low voice, "Tell me. How?"

Harumi circles Garmadon, saying, "As Wu had previously taught the Ninja, you too can unlock your True Potential, a dark potential. But to achieve it, you must overcome the one obstacle that has always stood in your way. The one person who has always held you back."
