As Lloyd continued walking through the streets of Ninjago it started to rain. It was cold, raining and Lloyd was alone. It was his fifth time running away from Darkley's. they always found him again and dragged him back. Lloyd had only wanted to change, he didn't like the idea of being bad. He had always wanted to be like his father when he was younger, but things change and so do people.

Lloyd had been running for little more than a week and was getting tired as the night grew darker. Lloyd sat down against a wall for a shop and rested, at this rate he was going to die by morning. Then maybe his father, having lost his only son,  would turn away from evil.

Maybe.

Lloyd went to stand up but fell back down from exhaustion, he hadn't eaten much while running. Luckily water was easy to come by. But that didn't mean a week of little food wasn't impacting him.
"I can't keep going" said Lloyd in a faint voice to himself before he fell weak to the darkness.

"The serpentine went this way" yelled Kai to Zane as they both ran down the small ally to the main street.
"Where did Jay and Cole go?" asked Zane, having just noticed the lack of two of his teammates.
"They went to stop the other serpentine" said Kai. Zane and Kai turned into the main street and searched the street for the serpentine.
"They're gone, I can't see or find them anywhere" complained Kai walking back towards Zane.
"We should get back to Cole and Jay" said Zane turning back towards the direction they had come from.
"Wait Zane look" said Kai slowly walking over to another side ally.

Zane followed Kai to the small ally and looked down at what they saw.
"It's a kid?" Said Kai kneeling down to the small child and placing two fingers on the neck of the child.
"There's a really weak pulse... We have to help the kid, Zane help me carrying him" said Kai placing two arms under the kid as Zane helped.

"Guys where have you been, we lost our serpentine. Who is the pipsqueak!" Yelled Jay pointing towards the small child that was now in Zane's arms.
"We're taking him to the bounty he needs medical attention" said Kai
"Sure lets just bring some kid onto the bounty, headquarters to the ninja, sure" said Cole coating his voice with sarcasm.
"I have to agree with Cole, what would sensei say about this" wondered Jay walking towards Zane to get a better look at the kid.
"Ahh but he is cute" continued Jay
"Sensei would want us to help the kid, so we are going to help him" said Kai

"Ninja, what happened and where did the serpentine go?" asked sensei Wu as the ninja boarded the ship, hiding Zane and the blond boy in his arms.
"We lost them" said Cole walking away to their bedroom.
"Sensei, we-Kai found a child who is very weak and needs medical attention" said Zane coming out from behind Kai and Jay.

"Lloyd..." Gasps Wu looking at the small body in Zanes arms. Instantly all eyes fell to Wu and the the now-named boy.
"You know who this kid is sensei" stated Jay waiting to find out who this 'Lloyd' was to their sensei.
"I'll tell you, but first take him to the medical room" said sensei leading the way to the room. Zane laid down Lloyd and pulled the thin blanket around him.

"His name is Lloyd, he is my nephew" said sensei Wu looking down at the weak child.
"Wait but.. Do you have another brother or sister cause otherwise that would mean that this kid is Lord Garmadon's kid" questioned Kai also looking down at the blond haired child.
"Lloyd is my brother's child, Garmadon's child" said Wu
