Ninjago: Time Heals Some Wounds

Never Trust A Snake

Lloyd's p.o.v (Arrow)

I wake up in the morning on the bed at the foot of Kai and Cole's bunk beds. Getting up, putting on my gi and checking the sling, I head to the main deck. Sitting on a create, I get in the lotus position and begin meditating.

Footsteps alert me to the ninja coming out. I cast my power of fire out and let it give me images. About three years after the triplets were born, I regained the power of the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. But, with a few upgrades.

"Stretches, everyone. Arrow, would you like to join or do your own training." Wu asks. I gave them an alias instead of my real name. Arrow Wisp.

Getting up, I stand beside Kai. Wu does the stretches and I follow. The guys are talking about Zane's dream of the green ninja. Soon, Wu gets tired of them messing up and gives them an punishment.

"No free time and no video games. The rest of the day can be used for training. And tomorrow, for that matter." Wu orders, I cover a laugh

Kai gaps in shock. "Training? For how long?" He looks to the door.

Wu smirks and I know just the punishment. "Arrow, would be so kind. I'm guessing you know." Wu says, looking at me.

"Until you can answer this simple riddle: what is the best way to defeat an enemy?" I say, grinning like a loon.

Kai throws a fist up. "Easy, with a sword." I drop my head.

"Your fists." Jay said.

"Spinjitzu." Cole adds.

I look to Zane, parting he'll at least know. "The tornado of creation." I face palm as Wu shakes his head. "Pace yourselves. You have a lot of training ahead of you. Make sure you sharpen your mind as well as your Spinjitzu." Wu says, walking away.

I follow, deciding to make lunch for everyone. Walking in and brewing some tea for uncle, I set it before hem. "Thank you, Arrow." He takes a sip. "Not a problem, uncle." I go back to the kitchen when Wu grabs my shoulder.

He turns me around and it hits what I said. 'Shit, he won't drop it either.' I go to pull away when he hugs me. "I always hoped you would find your way to the light, Lloyd." Uncle says. For the first time in fifty years, I finally get to hug my uncle.

We part and he sits at the snack bar. "So, how'd you get here." Wu asks. "My eldest son, Acronix is his name. He is the sole master of time. We were training hem when he accidentally opened a temporal vortex here. Like I said before, I'm staying just long enough to locate my kids and husband and we're leaving." I tell hem.

"May I ask who the lucky man is." I smirk at Wu's question. "Morro. You spared hem on the day of the departed for when I finally got out. During a mission, I was kiddnaped and put into suspended animation for fifty years.

"When I got out, I learned the Ninjago I once knew was gone. The ninja are pushing seventy and you and aunt Misako are six feet under. Dad's still around and he's married to another man. Expecting my little sister too." At that, me and uncle chuckle.

"So, you never got to say goodbye to neither of us." Wu says softly. I shake my head, mixing batter for the rolls I'm making. "Other than Acronix, who's the three you mentioned." Uncle asked.

"I had triplets, I'm..." "A reproducing male, like your mom." Wu says, sipping his tea. I smile "Nothing gets past you, does it." I said and Wu grins.

I'm kneading the bread when the alarm goes off. Putting it in a bowl, plastic over said bowl and it in the fridge, I head to the bridge. "Lloyd and a Serpentine have overtaken Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys." Nya says.

I growl, all look at me. "You know the serpentine, don't cha." Jay says. "I do, and I personally know he's bad news." I say. Nya stears the ship to the school.

' What wonderful memories here, not.' I think. The ninja drop down on the ancher and I shake my head. "They did that, just to get me. Idiots." I whisper. Wu walks up, watching.

Soon, the ninja corner Lloyd, me, Nya and Wu walk off. "Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, you come here right now." The tone uncle used sends shivers down my back. Jay picks Lloyd up and slings hem over his shoulder.

As we go to walk on the Bounty, I freeze at the voice that calls out. "Can y'all help me find mama." I wrip round, throwing my hood off. There on the roof of Darklys stands the eldest triplet.

Little Wu gasps, charging at me as I kneel. He launches into my arms, knocking me to the deck. He cries into my neck as I rub his back. "Mama, mama. Your here. Where's daddy and the others." Lil' Wu asks.

"I don't know, but we'll find them." I said, standing. With hem in my arms, I walk past the ninja into the ship. Later, I put my son to bed. I watch as the ninja complain about my younger self not getting punished.

"Arrow, want to tell the answer." Uncle asked me. "The greatest way to defeat your enemy is to make them your friend." I said. Pushing off the wall, I turn to the living room. Looking back over my shoulder, I narrow my eyes.

"My son's had a rough few days, he's asleep in my bed. Wake hem, and it won't be good." I say, eyes flashing red. They gulp and nod in confirmation. "Good, I'll be making breakfast in the morning and leading y'alls training. Get some rest, you'll need it." I said, a grin on my face.

'Preper ninja, you think uncle is harsh, just y'all wait. You ain't seen nothing yet.' Is all I think when I lay on the couch. Pulling a blanket over me, I'm almost asleep when a small form cuddles into me. Smiling, I bring Wu close to me. Kissing his head, I fall asleep.
