You're the Light in My Life | Ninjago Cole x Reader (My OC)

Chapter 11

I opened my eyes to see Morro, him looking at me in fear. I rubbed my eyes, the light hurting them. Morro hugged me, "Thank God you're okay, Shadow! What happened?"

I hugged him back, "I found my true potential."

He looked at me, "How did you do that? I thought the legend was going to have you turn evil?"

I gave a small laugh, "That's what I thought. But, I actually found the reason on why I was so scared."

"What's that?"

"I was scared of myself. I was scared that I was going to turn bad, as I had the Elemental Power of Darkness running through me. But, I realized I wasn't going to turn evil, as I was just scared to think that I was. I defeated my fear. I'm now stronger than I ever was. I'm not scared anymore. I have these powers for a reason, and I will make sure I know that these powers are not evil."

He smiled, "I could've told you were never evil. People always think the darkness is evil, but what they don't know, is that the darkness has beauty in it."

I sighed, "I feel bad. I yelled at the others because of the fear I had."

He got up, holding my hand to lift me up, "Then go out there and tell them what just happened."

I nodded, "Of course." I started to walk off until I turned around to look at Morro, "Morro?"

He looked at me, "Yes?"

I smiled, "Thank you."

He nodded, "Of course. I'll see you later, yes?"

"Of course."

I ran off, then used my powers to teleport to the shop. Once I reappeared, I saw Kai sitting outside, looking out in the distance.

I walked towards him, his head turning to look at me. Once he saw me, he ran to me, giving me a big hug, "Shadow, I'm really sorry. I didn't know, and I said things out of anger. You're a good person, and evil can turn good. My thoughts were clouded. Please forgive me."

I hugged him back, "It's okay. Are the others still up?"

He stopped hugging me, "Yes, why?"

I smiled, "I have something to tell you all."

He was a little wary, "Uh, okay. Let's go inside."

Kai walked in, everyone turning to look at us. Once they saw me, they all stood up, everyone running to me.

Everyone started to apologize and give me hugs. I took a deep breath, "I need to talk to us all."

Sensei stroked his beard, "Of course. Everyone sit down. Let's listen to what Shadow has to say."

Everyone sat down, all their eyes on me, "I have reached my full potential."

Everyone was shocked, "How did you do that?" Jay asked.

I cleared my throat, "Well, before I left, I took the scroll of the legend and went to go see Morro. We both read it and it said that I was going to turn evil once I showed true hatred, that hatred being be hating on you guys. I freaked out, the darkness consuming me. There was this girl. She was telling me I fulfilled the legend and going to turn evil. I didn't want to believe it. I didn't want to turn evil. I asked the girl who she was, and it was me. It was the evil version of myself. She told me that my fear was turning me evil. I asked her what my fear was, and the fear was myself. I feared that I was going to turn evil and hate you guys more. I was afraid that I was going to turn into something I didn't want to be. The darkness consumed me fully. But, before it got the chance to, I thought about you guys. I thought about how you guys treated me like family and loved me for who I was. You never feared my powers would turn me evil, you never feared that I was going to hurt you. I finally figured it out. I figured out who I really was. For I am the daughter of Sensei Garmadon and Misako. My powers are used for good and not evil. For I am not going to turn back because of my fear. I reached my full potential and defeated my evil self. I am no longer scared. I have nothing to fear about. So, for that. I will apologize for hurting each and everyone of you guys. It wasn't my intention, but I was hurt. You guys are my family," I turned to Cole, "and you are my lover." I turned back to everyone, "I ask for your forgiveness."
