-------------Lloyd's POV--------

I watch in horror as Morro takes possession of Nya.

"You stupid, stupid person!" I scold myself. "Why did I have to tell him that?"

Nya's skin changes to a greenish colour, and the elastic holding her hair up somehow falls out. She cackles, but it doesn't sound like her voice. I mean, obviously; Morro's taken over her body.

"You! Freaky mutant lizard!" Morro yells, pointing at Garmadon. "Prepare to die!"

"What, Morro's on our side now?" Kai asks, coming up next to me.

"No, he's on his own side," Cole replies. "The purpose of the green ninja is to fight the overlord, so I guess that's what he's doing."

"Dad!" I shout, as Morro uses both Nya's power and his own to attack Garmadon. "Please, listen to me! You can't let him control you! I know you aren't really evil, not deep down!"

"Nya! You can't let Morro take over!" Jay yells. "Fight him!"

"Does anyone else find it weird that the final battle is being fought by two people under possession?" y/n asks. "No? Okay. It's just me, then."

I continue to try to convince my dad to fight the overlord, and I can tell he's trying; the figure I'm staring at keeps changing.

"Be the hero you used to be! Fight him!"

At those words, my dad and the overlord finally separate. I shake my head in disbelief; he doesn't look like how I remember him. The grey-haired man stands up and looks at me, and I realize that every ounce of the great devourer's venom has been drained from his blood.

"Dad!" I cry, and run to him. He embraces me, apologizing over and over again.

"I'm so sorry, son. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

"It's okay; it wasn't your fault..."

"Fool!" the overlord hisses. "You dare defy me?"

"Get behind me, Lloyd," my dad says. He raises his hands, expecting to be able to defend me with his power, but nothing happens.

The overlord laughs. "Your power was drained along with the evil in your veins... you're powerless."

"If I'm powerless, then so are you! You can't do anything without an elemental master of darkness as your host."

The blob snorts—if that's even possible—then heads straight for me.

"Lloyd!" my dad yells, but it's too late. I'm under possession again, but this time, by someone different.

"No!" y/n shouts. "For the love of the first spinjitsu master, could you people just pick a body and stick to it?!"

-----------y/n's POV--------

Lloyd transforms into a miniature dragon, and charges at Nya/Morro. I feel like I should do something, but before I can attempt to help, Misako takes my arm.

"This is their fight," she says.

"You're crazy, woman!" I say, and break free from her hold. "There's no way she can do this on her own."

The other ninja follow me towards the battle, but the stone warriors flood the scene. They ninja all draw their weapons, but I don't have one on me, so I pick up a stick from out of the sand. It doesn't end up doing very much, but it's better than nothing.

I'm able to use my newly found element a couple of times, but all it does is temporarily blind the soldiers from the brightness. While we take care of the army, Nya/Morro is fighting the overlord/Lloyd.

Neither side is winning.

------------Jay's POV-------------

I can't stand to see Nya under someone else's control. As the team and I fight off the stone warriors, I keep her in my sights to make sure she's still okay. I keep pushing forward until I make it to her side.

"Morro, I'm warning you!" I say. "Let go of my girlfriend!"

"She's not you're girlfriend," he huffs as he continues shooting balls of energy at Lloyd. 

"I was going to ask her to be before you got involved! And I'm like 80% sure she'd say yes," I say. "At least let me help you win!"

"No; this is the task of the green ninja. I have to do this alone!"

"Well, you're doing this from someone else's body, so you're not alone whether you like it or not."

I stand next to Morro, and draw my elemental blade. If the overlord wasn't possessing Lloyd, I would have charged at him and given him a piece of my mind. However, I wasn't about to hurt my friend.

As I flick my blade forward, sparks of lightning fly towards the overlord. He fights them off, then shoots dark blasts back at me. I deflect them, but I have to admit, four arms can sometimes be better than two.

Morro and I fight together for some time, but it becomes clearer as time goes on that we aren't making any progress. The ultimate weapon hasn't even been fired yet, so I don't understand how the overlord's becoming stronger.

"Morro, you have to let Nya take control again!" I shout. "There's a reason she was chosen to be the green ninja; she has what it takes to win the final battle."

"No! This is my fight!"

---------------Nya's POV------------

Morro! You need to let me go! I scream.

Not a chance, he replies.

Why are you doing this? I don't understand.

Because you've taken what's rightfully mine!

I didn't do it on purpose! Please, you're going to get us all killed.

So? I'd be happy if you along with your liar of a Sensei didn't live to see tomorrow.

Sensei? What does he have to do with anything?

He's the one who made me believe I could be the green ninja! But he lied, and it got me killed.

How did you die?

I tried to prove him wrong. I went to go find the tomb of the first spinjitsu master, but perished in the caves of despair.

I'm silent for a moment.

If you died, doesn't that prove that you aren't the green ninja? I state bluntly.

I-uh... Oh, just shut up.
