I have to WHAT

---------------
Notes:
Lloyd is forced to go to highschool because his Uncle said he has to find some sort of elemental Masters... Yippee.

"I HAVE TO WHAT" Lloyd chocked.

🐉

It had been an awesome week for Lloyd. After being under Uncle Wu's training for 7 years, the now 15 year old finally got to actually fight crime as a ninja.

His first confrontation with his father was rather awkward. Lloyd tried to do less talk, more fight but his father had to be a chatter box who couldn't shut up about this new ninja entering 'the fighting ring' (as it was referred to by Garmadon).

Garmadon also expressed his detest on how his fighting matches with his brother, Wu, seemed to be over now.

But after that rocky start, fighting Garmadon and his army of sharkies and other weirdly sea-themed soldiers became second nature for him.

Everything was perfect. Lloyd was destracted from the fact that literally everyone in Ninjago hated him. Lloyd could actually do something against his father to prove to himself he'll never end up this cruel and all his hard work and training finally seemed to pay off.

He was the happiest he'd ever been!

Until..

🐉

"You heard me, nephew" Uncle Wu simply replied.

"But.. BUT WHY??? I have been homeschooled for my whole entire life and that for good reason! Why does that have to change now!?" Lloyd was devastated by his uncles words.

He was readying himself for another one of Wu's  'you need to find connections with people your age'-talk but his uncle simply sighted disappointingly.

He stood up, tea in hand, and began walking outside to the deck of the Bounty.

It took Lloyd a second to understand that he wanted him to follow (can you blame him?).

They stood there in an uncomfortable silence for a bit until Wu finally spoke:

"I am not doing this because I want you to quit homeschooling.

When you unlocked your elemental power a chain reaction was caused. This chain reaction activated the powers of the Elemental Masters of Creation: fire, ice, lighting, earth and water. They should be around your age, if not a bit older. I can imagine them being in distress at this time. I want you to find them and recruit them as ninja. After you found all of them you can gladly return to homeschooling."

Lloyd let his uncles words sink in.

Then the questions started to flood his mind.

"Why have you never told me about this??"

"I thought it would be smarter to fill you in once it happens."

"How the hell am I supposed to find them if I have literally no information about anyone in that school!"

"I have made a list of every student around and above your age in that highschool. Full names, Looks, their phone numbers and additional information should help you locate them and invite them to meet you. Also, since they have no idea about their status as Elemental Masters they should be acting distressed. Any suspicious behavior surrounding those mentioned Elements should help you."

"Does that mean I'll have to work with them in the future?? They'll literally hate me when they find out I'm Lloyd Garmadon!"

"Yes, you will have to work with them. If you must, you don't have to let them know your identity, though I don't recommend it."

"Ok.." the thought of not having to share his Identity eased his forming headache.

"Wait-

How do you have that much information on literally everyone in that school?" Lloyd questioned.

"You don't have to worry about that.

Now, the principal and the teachers know that this will be a temporary 'experiment' to help you 'socialize' with your peers-"

"You're setting a lot of invisible quotations there"

"-Your only focus should be to find the other Elemental Masters. I do not expect you to be paying attention in your classes."

"I like the sound of that"

"However you will still be homeschooled to an extend because of that." His uncle finished.

"You can't even give me that?" Lloyds groans were met by Wu's tired eyes.

"For now I want you to go and prepare yourself for the day tomorrow" Wu continued.

"I'm already starting TOMORROW?" Nevermind, his headache was in full motion again. That was like no time to prepare himself! Like at all!..

"Indeed you are. Now shoo. I can't handle anymore of your.. random outbursts.." Uncle Wu continued to drink his, probably already cold, tea, meaning this conversation was finished.

"Sorry.. haha" and with that Lloyd Garmadons fate was sealed.

No more fun crime fighting and no more distracting himself from other people. Lloyd was literally about to walk into hells nest itself.

Highschool.

Notes:

Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

And don't worry, there won't really be any identity-keeping secrets between the Ninja. I think it's funnier with them all knowing each others identities.

This is just Lloyd thinking he's safe from very observant eyes 🤭.
