Summary

“Where do you belong, in a world that hinges on you not existing?” —is a question Lloyd Garmadon finds himself asking again and again, especially when the world loves him as a ninja, but loathes him as Garmadon’s son. Those two sides of him constantly collide in the weeks of school, training, enemy attacks, and weaponized nonsense leading up to that destined Final Battle, along with the little issue concerning his mother…but fair (or, fear) isn't a word where Lloyd Garmadon comes from.

Summary

It’s dangerous, lighting a campfire in a place like this. Fire is a beacon of light, warmth, shelter, safety. And even the most deranged monsters have the basic instinct to flock towards things that beckon positively to them. Kai takes a gamble he probably shouldn’t with this, but he needs this. It’s comforting. Even if, symbolically, he is Fire already—and thus, is continually only in the company of himself.
. . .
Or, Monstrosity!Kai treats himself to an improvised dinner and lingering regrets

Summary

His hands were shaking. He was so scared to move.
The people in the car were freaking out. There was shouting, screaming, crying. People were moving frantically, looking around, digging under seats, trying to find the bomb. The small girl across from Kai was being hugged by her crying mother, but the girl looked far less scared. She was looking right at Kai, overflowing trust in her eyes, smiling, knowing that he was there.
“It’s…It’s gonna be okay,” Kai told her. He managed a smile, barely moving.
“I know,” the girl said. “My mom says you always win, so I don’t have to be scared.”
“Yeah. Your mom’s pretty smart.”
-
Or, Kai wakes up in a drugged haze to find himself on a crowded train that he didn't remember boarding, with a bomb strapped to his chest. Over the announcements, those on the train are given an ultimatum—kill the person wearing the vest, or the bomb goes off, killing them all. Kai, separated from his team, is faced with the same choice. Meanwhile, the Ninja race to shut it all down before the timer counts down to zero.

Nya wouldn't go so far as to say she disliked Zane upon meeting him, per se, but he didn't exactly leave a glowing first impression either.

Luckily for them, a single conversation manages to fix that.

"So," Arin said, deciding it was time to change the subject. "You said you knew the Jade Princess?"

Or, Arin's introduction to Llorumi and the serpentine wars amongst other stuff
