Garmadon's Kid

Chapter 24

It had been several hours since the News Anchor had been in the hospital room. Lloyd was asleep in the dark hospital room. Alone. Or so he thought. The window creaked open. "Lloyd..." A voice said quietly as the owner shook Lloyd "Lloyd..." They repeated

Lloyd slowly woke up "What who?" He sat up, pain searing in his broken arm

"Hello son!" Garmadon exclaimed

"WHAT THE HELL!?"

"Watch your language Lloyd."

"You... Why are you.... Why are you here... In the middle of the night?"

"No one would let me in during the day..." Garmadon replied sheepishly "But I needed to talk to you son!"

"Please stop calling me 'son'."

"But you're my son."

"You're no father of mine."

"Lloyd. Please. Hear me out."

"Fine. Tell me what you have to say."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being there for you. I... Your mother-"

"Do NOT bring Mom into this!"

"Lloyd listen!"

"Mom was actually there for me! You, were NOT!"

"Lloyd calm down. Son please."

"Stop calling me Son!" Lloyd yelled a dark gold aura appearing around him

"Lloyd! Calm down!!" Garmadon pleaded. Slowly Lloyd calmed down, and the aura faded. "Lloyd. Your mother didn't want me to corrupt you. That's why I left. I wanted to be there, but I... I didn't want you to be like me. I still don't. I... I've always cared about you Lloyd. You're... You're my son. How could I not care about you?"

"You... You weren't there, for my whole life. Why did you suddenly care so much. Y-You only just now think you can't corrupt me?"

"Lloyd, it... It was for your own good. I... I hate the idea of you being like me."

"I have nightmares that I'll end up like you."

"The leader of an army?"

"No, an evil villain who doesn't care about people."

"Son."

"Don't call me Son."

"Lloyd, I do care about some people."

"Like who?"

"You, your mother, heck I even care about Wu just a little." Garmadon replied "Don't Tell him I said that though..." Garmadon joked. Lloyd chuckled lightly, a warm golden aura glowed brightly around him. Garmadon smiled, this is what he had wished life could have been all this time. Happiness, no having Lloyd call him Garmadon, Garmadon just wanted Lloyd to know that he cared, and to call him dad. Lloyd yawned, and Garmadon knowing his son was tired said "You need to rest." Garmadon smiled "I'll leave."

"Bye..." Lloyd paused "Dad."

Garmadon teared up a bit "Bye, Son."

Lloyd stood in a dark room. No exits, no light, just darkness. "You're worthless." A voice rang out, Zane stepped into veiw

"Why are we even your friends?" Another laughed, Nya appeared

"You're just a walking joke Lloyd." Yet another rang out, Kai was now visable

"Worthless, little Lloyd." Yet another came, Jay smirked as he stepped out of the shadows

"You're just a useless pile of shit." Cole growled as he appeared

"G-Guys?" Lloyd questioned "Wh-What are you doing?"

Kai, Nya, Jay, Zane, and Cole stepped towards Lloyd weapons in hand. "We're done pretending that we care about you Garmatrash." Kai spat as he swung his sword at Lloyd

"B-But, y-you and Nya promised you'd never l-leave me in the dust!"

"Oh please. If you thought that was honestly what would happen, you're stupider then we thought!" Nya cackled, she swung her weapon at Lloyd "And we already thought you were stupid."

"We've never liked you Lloyd. You're useless, and a waste of space." Cole grunted as he swung his scythe at Lloyd

"Even I think you're a freak, and I'm a Nindroid!" Zane yelled as he chucked a shuriken at Lloyd

"P-Please! Guys stop!" Lloyd begged just before Jay hit him on the head with his nunchucks. "G-Guys! Cut it out! Please!"

"No. You're just as useless, and dumb, and weak as He said you were." Nya spat

"Who!?"

"The one who with be your end." Kai growled

"The one who will destroy all you hold dear." Jay smirked

"The one who will use your own powers against you." Cole cackled

"The OverLord!" Zane smiled evilly

"Who's the OverLord?" Lloyd asked, his friends disappearing one by one

"Me." A dark voice came "Your end will come. Ninjago will fall," The voice cackled "And you'll be the one to bring it's demise!!"

Lloyd shot up in his bed. The white hospital blanket sat on the ground next to the bed. Pain shot through his leg, he looked, and nearly screamed. His left ankle, was a dark purple, nearly black. "W-What? W-Why?!" He questioned as he reached for his phone. "I'll call Uncle Wu..." He mumbled as he dialed his uncle's number.

"Hello?" The voice rang from the other end

"Uncle uuh, my ankle turned purple... Like a reeeeeeaaaally dark purple. And I had a nightmare about some guy called the OverLord."

Lloyd heard something being spat out "THE OVERLORD!?!?!?!?"
