HOLD ON - Morro X Lloyd (One Shot-That-Is-Soon-To-No-Longer-Be-A-One shot )

HOLD ON - Morro X Lloyd One Shot

(HOLD ON - Morro X Lloyd One Shot)

"The Preeminent is gone!" Kai Smith, Master Of Fire, said with a victory grin on his face.
Kai, Jay, Cole and Zane cheered and high-five each other. Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, the Green Ninja, watched his friends with a small smile. Suddenly, a familiar scream echoed from where the Preeminent fell. Lloyd reconised the voice.

"Morro's about to fall in the water!" Lloyd gasped.
"Who cares about him?" Jay said as Kai, Cole, Zane and himself look at their green-clothed friend in confusion.
"He's gonna die!" Lloyd augured.
"But Lloyd- Was Morro not the one who possessed you?" Zane asked.
"And nearly too over all of Ninjago?" Cole added.
"A true ninja protects those who cannot protect themselves. Even the meanest of people deserve to live." Lloyd replied.
Before Lloyd's friends could protest, Lloyd ran off to find Morro.

The Preeminent was trying to drag Morro into the water with her. Morro used his wind powers to push himself away from the water but the Preeminent's grip was firm and he couldn't save himself forever. Morro saw Lloyd approaching. Lloyd reached his hand out for Morro to grab.
"Take my hand!" Lloyd said.
Morro couldn't believe what Lloyd was doing, "Why? Because of me, you got possessed, your father died, your friend got turned into a ghost, you nearly died several of times and I nearly destroyed Ninjago!"
Lloyd couldn't help but smile a bit. It was sweet of Morro to realize his wrong doings. "Because everyone deserves a chance to change to good." Lloyd said to his ex-rival with a smile.
For the first time since Lloyd had first met Morro, Morro smiled and reached his hand out to grab Lloyd's. However, before their hands could touch, a tentical warped itself around Lloyd's waist. Lloyd gasped in surprised as he was pulled above the water and away from Morro by the Preeminent.

Lloyd struggled against the tentacle's grasp but it was no use. The tentical continued to coil around Lloyd's chest and eventually, his neck. Lloyd began to run out of air, fast. Lloyd heard Morro say, "Leave him alone and kill me instead!"

There was silent, except for a strange noise (as if a in pain whale) coming form the Preeminent. Almost as if the Preeminent was laughing. Whatever she was doing, she accepted Morro's deal and threw Lloyd against what was left from a building, nearby the dock.

Morro's mind was racing. What had he just done? Why did he do it? What possessed him to do that for Lloyd of all people? Then it hit Morro- he loved Lloyd- he loved Lloyd's feisty attitude, he loved how strong Lloyd was but most of all, he loved how good Lloyd was.

Lloyd ran to the edge of the dock once more. Tears rolled down Lloyd's cheek. Morro smiled still and lifted his hand to Lloyd's cheek, gently wiping the fallen tears. Lloyd held Morro's hand in his. Lloyd's hand was trembling. The Preeminent jerked Morro towards the water, yanking Morro's hand out of Lloyd's. Lloyd reached forward, trying to grab Morro.

Morro smiled weakly and said softly, "Goodbye...Lloyd..."

More tears flowed down Lloyd's face, "No, no, no! It can't end this way! T-This i-isn't how things end..." he said.

Lloyd's voice began to grow shaky as he said, "P...Please..."

Lloyd whispered softly but loud enough for Morro alone to hear, "I love you...Morro."

"Please, hold on."
