A GreenFlame Twist

Dragons Rising Season 2 Episode 1, The Blood Moon

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.

A/N: This episode was suggested by NinjafanLL007 on Wattpad.

The doors to the courtyard of the Monastery fly open as Riyu runs out with Sora and Arin on his back. He skids to a halt and lets them off while Sora looks at a piece of paper in her hand.

"Who is it from?" Arin inquires.

Sora glances at the name and says in disbelief, "Kreel, of all people." reading more she continues, "It says she has urgent need of ninja assistance. Then the weirdest part is it's signed 'your friend, Kreel.' " Looking up she asks Arin, "You think she meant to give this to someone else?"

Shrugging, Arin says, "She probably wants to sell us some junk from her junkyard."

He then steps on a tile in the dragon pattern on the floor, causing the hidden training course to come up, surprisingly with Lloyd slumped over one of the rings.

Very confused, Sora slowly says, "Lloyd?" Causing the blond to wake up.

"Oh! What? Wha-Where am I?" Lloyd groggily asks, lifting his head up and squinting at his students below.

He starts to slip off the ring but just barely manages to catch himself.

Arin answers his previous question with, "Sleeping in the training course?"

"Oh, right. Sure. Of course." Lloyd says, sounding more like he's trying to convince himself than them while slowly standing up on the ring. He then jumps and does a flip before landing on the ground in front of Sora and Arin.

"Everything alright?" Sora cautiously asks him.

Lloyd gives them a nervous smile and says, "Never better." before walking away and leaving his students and Riyu very confused.

In the living room, Kai and Zane are playing Lava Zombies together.

"Haha!" Kai laughs as his character takes out some lava zombies, "Eat that, Nindroid!"

Confused, Zane turns to him and says, "I am not consuming any food."

"It's a figure of speech." Kai explains, then excitedly says, "It's what you say when you're kicking someone's butt in the game! Haha!"

Still confused, Zane says, "But eating is a good thing. How is that insulting to me?"

Kai sighs and says, "Oh, Zane."

Just then, Lloyd walks in front of the Tv with his arms out in front of him, clearly sleepwalking. With a sigh, Kai pauses the game as Lloyd bumps into the coffee table, causing him to wake up slightly.

"Oh, tea." He mumbles, "I could really use some."

Lloyd picks up the teapot, but then starts to fall back asleep and begins to pour tea onto a nearby plant.

"Hey, Greenie. You, uh, trying a new way to drink tea?" Kai asks, both confused and concerned.

Upon hearing his voice, Lloyd fully wakes up and upon seeing what he was doing, abruptly stops pouring the tea onto the plant.

"Oh man. Huh? What am I doing?" He says with a slight laugh at the end.

Kai gives Zane a look and the Nindroid gets up and runs a scan on Lloyd's body while the latter blinks tiredly at him.
