S1 E11: All of Nothing

[Y/n] laid still in his bed.

Absolutely nothing to do with himself...

Despite being with the team for awhile [Y/n] for once now found himself in quite the uncomfortable and compromising position.

Relying on others.

Thankfully Zane offered to let him borrow a variety of spare clothes as [Y/n] now faced the reality that his Gi was really all he had in terms of clothing and even if he had a Gi, after the day of the volcano he'd been left barred from missions till he'd had ample time to recover per Wu's orders. Not even the others allowed him to move, instead opting to wait on him at every whim as if he were a helpless child. Even Lloyd was in on it, practically attached to his hip never leaving his side. According to Lloyd he refused to ever let [Y/n] be in danger again and thus vowed that the great green ninja would protect him.

"Resting well?" Garmadon's taunting voice spoke up.

"As well as can be." [Y/n] eyed the Dark Lord cautiously as he sculked into his room.

"I.. haven't had the chance to thank you." Garmadon's voice softened as his eyes trailed to the boy in white.

"It was nothing." [Y/n] returned, eyeing Garmadon back.

"Nothing? I'm a humble man myself however taking a dip in lava and getting spat out by a volcano is quite the feat." Garmadon stalked closer to the edge of his bed looking him up and down noting his lack of injuries before his ruby eyes narrowed in on the male's facial markings.

"How exactly did you survive?"

"How exactly did you get four arms?" [Y/n] spat back making him scrunch his eyebrows in response.

"By travelling down a dark path with many secrets so I know the look of someone who has done the same." [Y/n] tensed at that.

"[Y/n] the others are- dad? What are you doing here?" Lloyd ran into the room as he had every other day before stopping in confusion. Garmadon quickly buried his inquisitive stare with a forced smile.

"Nothing son, just checking in on the patient." He spoke warmly as [Y/n] raised from his bed.

"Yeah h-" [Y/n] sharply inhaled and clutched his side as a vicious sting shot through him as he stood quickly making Lloyd's face drop in sympathy. "I-I'm fine. The others are back you say?" [Y/n] forced a smile of his own to mask the pain as he walked over to the blonde.

"Mhm, they questioned a Venomari and know where the last fang blade is." Lloyd reported.

"Well, let's not keep them waiting." He gave a little smile before turning around with a sterner look to the other man. "Garmadon?"

"Hm, very well." He agreed however still curious on what he was hiding.

The three made their way down the familiar halls to the bridge, Lloyd leading the small troop while Garmadon and [Y/n] gave eachother cautious glances.

Finally the three walked in, the rest of the group already assembled.

"The Venomari's right, by the time we cast sail clear across the other side of Ninjago Pythor will have already beat us to the last fang blade." Nya explained via the distance on screen.

"Oh come on guys this is the last one, we gotta get it. We gotta think of something." Jay Harper on their dire situation.

"Hmm.." Cole thought.

"Hey.. all we have to do is get one fang blade to stop him, what if we take back the other three? Pythor wouldn't risk having them all on him, he's probably hid them somewhere while he goes for the fourth." Lloyd suggested earning surprised looks from the whole crew.
