Chosen (Lloyd X Reader)

The Last Voyage

I pick up a hammer and I stare at it a bit before running my fingers through my hair. I look up at one of the engines of the Bounty, seeing a dent in it. I go to try to even it out, but that's when Jay grabs the hammer out of my hands. I look back at him in confusion but he simply shakes his head in pure fear.

"You're going to break that!" He sighs. "How about you just watch? Let me show you how it's done. Please."

Nya pats my back as I sigh and cross my arms together. "Alright then, Jay. Show me how it's done."

He goes to hammer out a dent in one of the engines, but instead, he creates a hole in it and gets splashed with oil. I try to hold my laughter in as I cover my mouth and look away.

He yelps out in disgust as he quickly wipes away the oil from his face. "Ugh! Useless pile of junk!"

"You sure did show me, Jay. Thank you so much for showing me," I say with a sly smile. 

The blue ninja glares at me before sighing in frustration. Nya shakes her head in disappointment, knowing what she had dreaded came to fruition.

"Oh, it's worse than I feared. The rotors on the starboard booster are completely destroyed. The port boosters are shot from the strain." She turns to the others who are working on the other engine with a somber look on her face. "Oh, sorry guys. She's not getting airborne anytime soon."

Cole stops fixing a rotor and groans, hearing the news. "So if the Stone Army attacks again, we're sitting ducks!"

"Uh, ducks can fly, Cole. Weren't you listening?" Jay says to him, but all he gets is a flick to the forehead by me.

"You are not being helpful right now. But he's right. We're stuck here."

"We just got our tails handed to us and we couldn't even stop one of them. Ugh, I hate feeling helpless," Kai says with a sigh and frustration.

"We just... have to be prepared for it guys no matter what because we can't let Ninjago fall to them."

Luckily, Zane and Sensei are done sending off the falcon to figure out what's on the Dark Island as they walk over to all of us. 

Sensei looks at Kai, trying to give him a bit of optimism as he backs me up. "We mustn't give up hope, Kai."

"But the Stone Army is indestructible. You saw it. At best, all my and Y/n's powers could do was slow them down," Lloyd says in return to Sensei, not knowing we can truly take them down.

Misako walks up from behind Zane and Sensei as she looks at all of us, adding to the conversation. "That's not entirely true. There is a way to defeat them. And it is told within the scrolls."

Everyone looks at each other before getting off of the scaffolding. But, before I do, Lloyd offers his hand to me and I smile at him. I grab it as he helps me down from it and holds my hand in his before following behind everyone. 

Lloyd squeezes my hand causing me to look at him in confusion as we stop walking and let everyone else walk ahead. 

"Are you alright?"

The blonde looks away and sighs. "I'm worried about what will happen when we face my father."

"I'm going to guess you're worried about fighting him. After all... he's your father."

"Y-Yeah... I don't want to but I know I have to. Destiny kinda sucks for this really," He says before looking away with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

"Heh, I know that for sure. But at least we're going through it together."

I give him a soft smile, trying to reassure him that it's gonna be okay. He looks at me, a small smile beginning to form on his face as well. I kiss his cheek before quickly looking away as we both blush.
