[Ninjago: Amplified] Modern AU

Lloyd Garmadon has never really been accepted in school. Having your own father run a crime syndicate in your home city doesn't help that, either.

Lloyd's lost hope in making new friends. He's perfectly fine with those he has.

Yet, when he stumbles across a classmate's lost phone--the very same student who had gone missing the day before--Lloyd's life gets a whole lot more interesting.

Aurora is a senior at NCHS. She lives in a Foster Agency with her best friends, where they're known as "boomerangs." Their chosen foster parents are never good fits for them; the teens return home a mere few days after leaving the agency.

As a result, Aurora has given up on adoption. Now, she's just ready to graduate and move out along with her friends.

However, that all comes to a halt when she suddenly goes missing. Scared for her well-being, her friends do all that they can to find her, yet it seems that they'll be needing more help from some familiar faces...
