This is an AU where Lloyd never wanted to be like Garmadon, but Garmadon wants it to be like father like son. Also, to be clear, unless it's stated by me in an author's note, or the star I use to sign my drawings or painting is on the art, I probably found it on Pinterest and in no way mean to take credit for someone else's art.

Lloyd has unlocked his Oni powers with his father's assistance, but he must still defeat the Crystal King, previously known as the Overlord, alone. Waiting for further instructions, Garmadon and Lloyd's friends engage in a fight with the vengestone warriors. Will this lead to consequences? Well, I'll let you decide that.
