Hard Beginning (Requests Open)

join the dark side

So I got a request from Mariagotsi2004 and I liked the idea so here it is. 

What if Garmadon made Lloyd join him.  Here goes nothing.

A strong wind blew around the streets of Ninjago city as Lloyd and his friends got back to their lair, or warehouse. It was a warehouse nothing more. Just a few minutes ago he and his friends had gotten rid of Garmadon once again.

Yeah, it was awesome being a hero but then there was the other side of Lloyd's life. The side where everyone hated him. Except for his friends. If he was honest he wished he could talk with his father like he was a normal person, telling him who he was and hoping he would stop his stupid and annoying attacks.

The blonde teenager landed his dragon and jumped off, taking off his hood revealing his face.

"Welp, I don't think we have to go back to school. See ya tomorrow guys" Kai said walking out of the old warehouse. He was right, school was always called off, when Garmadon attacked. Most of the times it was because something was destroyed.

Changing back into his normal clothes Lloyd began to walk to his apartment. His mother wouldn't be there, since she had to work most of the day. It was hard but better than with his father, right? Right!

Walking along the streets he noticed how much the city was destroyed once again. He didn't know how everyone could afford building everything again like five times a week. He wouldn't be surprised if all of Ninjago had a special insurance for Garmadon attacks.

Lloyd sighed. Someday he would change everything. Make sure that they were safe and that it stopped. That his father would be send to jail or something like that. He wished it would happen already.

Opening the door of his apartment he threw his school bag onto the couch and took a look at the fridge. On it was a note attached. Definitely from his mother.

'Hey sweety. I'm sorry but I have to work longer today. I will be back at 10. There is some leftover food from yesterday in the fridge '

-Mom

He sighed opening the door and looking inside. Yep just some stuff from yesterday. He could make something himself but he was to tired. His head hurt and he was sure he had a cut on his leg. Hard to see with the black pants.

So the teenager put the leftovers into the microwave and turned to the shelves where the plasters and the bandages where. Taking everything out he put it on a table and rolled up his pants.

"Yup, that's a cut alright" he muttered to himself. A large cut spread across the side of his leg. As he began to treat his leg he asked himself how many times he had done something like that already.

The microwave gave it's normal beeping sound, signaling that the time was over. Standing up he took it out of the microwave and set his food on the counter. He opened a drawer searching for a fork and a knife when he heard a voice.

"So this is where your mother went with you" a deep voice said.

Lloyd yelped turning around making almost everything crash down to the floor in the process. Yeah, he could be a little clumsy. He was about to stab the person just to see his father sitting on the couch. He groaned in annoyance.

"Gosh Dad, you almost gave me a heart attack. How did you even get here?" Lloyd raised an eyebrow, looking around for ways into the house. Nothing. Typical.

"I don't think you have to know that La-Loyd. Now let's talk" Garmadon said darkly.

Lloyd narrowed his eyes at his father. "There is nothing to talk about" he hissed, turning around again, his attention back on his food. He couldn't have one damn moment for himself.

"Let's talk .... about the green Ninja" the blonde gasped as he heard that. He didn't know did he? No, of course he didn't. There was no way his father had found out about it. About everything. Not now, not ever.

"I don't really know why we should talk about that. I mean I have nothing to do with that. I don't know much about him" slowly he turned back around grinning nervously.

His father crossed his four arms, raising an eyebrow. "Oh really?" he asked.

"Yeah totally. What would I know about him anyways?" he laughed. Very nervously.

"Then why are you wearing his uniform?" Garmadon asked smirking.

"What?" Lloyd yelped "I was sure I had changed" he looked down at himself only to find his hoodie and jeans. Damn his father.

"Aha! Got you!" his father cried out. Seconds later his face darkened again. "But you shouldn't be working against me"

"It's your own fault. You were destroying the city and I decided to do something against it" Lloyd scoffed.

"You should be working with me" Garmadon said slowly. Lloyd narrowed his eyes again.

"And why pray tell should I do that? I don't remember you doing something good"

"Why not? You are my son after all. People don't know what you do and as far as I know you don't have much friends. Most of Ninjago doesn't appreciate you. What do you think how they'll react, when they find out who you are, huh? Do you think they would love you?"

"How do you even know that, it's not like you were there?" Lloyd asked.

"Maybe I let some of my generals spy on you but that's beside the point" Garmadon waved his hand around, like it wasn't a big thing.

"Wait what? Is that the reason for people getting sick suddenly?" the blondes eyes widened at the thought.

"I would rather call it 'sick'" he answered making signs with his hands.

"What have you done?" Lloyd whispered, slightly horrified.

"Got rid of them" Garmadon said and shrugged.

Lloyd shook his head, tears brimming in his eyes.

"Oh don't cry La-Loyd. I thought you always wanted to show them how you are. Come on, we both know you have my  genes too. So make them pay for  how they treated you"  Garmadon grinned at his son. How hard could it be to persuade him.

"That is not the way Dad" Lloyd wiped away his tears.

"It is one way. The other Ninja alone can't stop me from taking over the town. That was always you. You are not made to be the good guy not with how they threat you. It's payback time"

The room was silent for a moment just the ticking of a clock to be heard.

"Maybe you're right" Lloyd looked up, showing eyes that were flickering from green to red.

"Maybe they should know how this feels like" Lloyd smiled.

"Great! Let's go!" Garmadon exclaimed standing up, going to the door. Lloyd followed him, no doubt left in his thoughts. The whole town would know who they messed with. Only his friends would be spared.

Hours later the door opened once again, Koko walking in.

"Lloyd I'm home!" she yelled, putting down her purse. No answer.

"Lloyd?" she called again. No answer. She looked around. Some stuff was lying on the ground in the kitchen, food on the counter. Lloyd was nowhere to be seen. She sighed. She had feared this day would come.

"Oh Garm what have you done?"

I really hope this went as  you had imagined. Just a bit
