Five years later, They're back for another adventure... ×××××××× Part I - Team Together Part III - XXX Part III - XXX °°°°°°°°°

THIS IS A STANDALONE, NO CONNECTION TO THE DFW UNIVERSE! From the outside, the ninja have it all. Fame, fortune, a noble mission, and a team that's like family. But things aren't always what they seem, and when the cameras aren't around, life for Kai and Lloyd is a living hell. All they want to do is survive, but Cole, Jay, and Zane aren't making it easy. Ever since Lloyd was chosen over him as the green ninja, Cole is cruel and controlling, and not even Wu can stop the damage he's doing. Set right after the Final Battle, an AU where the ninja struggle with their massive rise to fame while silently dealing with abuse in their home. (sorry if this permanently damages your view of Cole. I love Cole, but someone's gotta be evil in this story) **WARNINGS**: Physical and Mental Abuse, lots of Trauma, Major Character Death, Suicide, Suicidal Thoughts, Graphic Violence, Depression, Self-Harm, PTSD, Implied Sexual Assault (SA never explicitly shown-will warn before each chapter)
