Chapter Text

Morro was always on the Run, he was all by himself always digging through trash for the Next Meal he could find… anything possible too survive, he was thrown a Crap Deck of Cards at the start of Life with his Father abandoning him and his Mother eventually dying when he was young… and from then on he was Alone… and out on the streets.

He had met quite a few kids in his life some Brutal and Rude while others scared and helpless… Morro stayed as far as he could when it came to making connections, he didn’t wanna be alone… but it’s all he’s ever known, though he made an effort to help those who needed it feeling compelled in a way… he didn’t know why he did this, why when he was starving offered his half of his food to some kid on the street he didn’t know, why when he found a perfectly good sweater he decided to give it away to some little girl who was Cold…. Maybe Morro maybe being with others wasn’t so bad… but Morro still kept his distance.

He was quiet and unnerving to most people, Cold as the Strong winds that followed everywhere he went, so most people let him be, so he never bothered them.

Well.. he tried not too bother people, but some Days he had no food, and was starving… so during those times, he’d steal when needed. 

But on one of those days where The Hunger pains wouldn’t go away he decided to gather some Food, his first option was to go dumpster diving but most of the Garbage cans had already been picked up by Garbage  trucks and cleaned out… it would be unlikely they would have any food in them, so his next option was too… Steal, but it seemed that wouldn’t work either as after scouting out potential victims, for anything edible he could rob he was left empty handed.

“Ugh, why does my Life have too be so difficult.” He sighed, and began wondering around town trying to ignore the pain in his stomach.

But after walking around for what seemed like forever, he found himself at the foot of a Very Tall Staircase… a Very Very Tall Staircase… it was the Staircase that lead to the Monastery, Morro had heard some people talking about it… apparently someone who was a part of some Myth about Creation and Destruction? Blah blah blah, but apparently someone lived up there… which meant there was likely food up there..

Nobody sane would climb all the way up that Staircase, which meant The Garbage Truck probably didn’t collect any Trash Cans this guy would have outside the Monastery… was it a solid Plan? No. Was Morro starving and Hungry? Yes. And was he a Normal person who would say no to climbing up this staircase? Absolutely Not!

So he began hiking up the Staircase.————-

After all, he began regretting his decisions to go looking for food at the Monastery of all places? Was he really that out of it from not eating in awhile…? Probably, if he thought this was a good idea, but there was no backing out now.

After ages, Morro eventually made it too the Top, and he was even hungrier than he was before… but after catching his breath, he stood up albeit dizzy, and carried on… he hope he didn’t come here for nothing.

It didn’t take long for Morro to find this persons Trash Can, and was a little annoyed that there wasn’t much scraps to eat… but at least they were Scraps, and Morro wasn’t gonna complain when he was so hungry, and he stuffed his face with as much edible food that he could find it that Trash can…

But maybe he should have been more discreet about digging into some strangers trash can.

“My, My what do we have here?” Morro was startled and quickly got out of the Trash can and stepped away, frightened. He should have been more careful! Now this guy was probably gonna punish him or something! He really didn’t wanna escape down the stairs he had just climbed… he didn’t have the energy for it.

The Man who startled him and presumably the House and the Trash Can belonged to him, he had Blond hair, and held a surprised and concerned expression on his face, not the expression Morro was expecting, he expected anger and aggression… not Concern?

“I’m sorry for Dumpster diving in your Trash Can..” Morro said keeping his head down, maybe if he apologized the man would forgive him and he could leave? Nah.. it was never that simple…

The Man gave him an inquisitive look, before he smiled politely. “I have some Food cooking, would you like to join me for dinner?

Morro froze, out of all the responses He was expecting… that wasn’t one of them. “What?” he said breathlessly, completely caught off guard.

The Man didn’t look at all annoyed that Morro was making him repeat the same question again, and still held the same polite smile. “Would you like to Join me for Lunch?” His stomach grumbled in agreement, but he was still hesitant… as good as Free Food sounded, this had to be some kind of trick.. but Morro was too hungry to decline the offer no matter how suspicious it may be.

“Sure..” I stuttered saying it unsure, but that Man wasn’t discouraged and kindly brought me inside, I had been standing there awkwardly off to the side as he prepared the meal, it was a calm silence that wasn’t unwelcoming and it was only broken when he had asked me if I had any food allergies which I shook my head No.

Soon the meal was done and he directed me too the Table and had set a plate down in front of me, the Plate was generously filled with food that made my mouth water but I was still hesitant.

‘Oh crap I’m definitely going to get kidnapped.’ But Morro gave in and started stuffing his face with food with food, and only slowed down when the Man warned him he might choke.

After filling up on food, that has upset his stomach not used to having as much but he powered through it and turned his attention back to the Man. “So now that we are done with Lunch, I feel that we should introduce ourselves.” The Man said “My name is Wu, The Youngest Son of the First Spinjitzu Master.” Wu greeted, Morro knew the First spinjitzu master was, but he didn’t know a whole lot living out on the streets but still nodded his head to be polite.

“Morro.” I said back, less shaky than I had been before, maybe this guy wasn’t so bad… but Why? “Why are you being Nice too me?” Morro blurted out, shoot he shouldn’t have said anything… Wu might kick him out for sounding ungrateful…

“Many people have climbed these stairs, many wanting to visit the Monastery or some other reason they deem important… but you come here to seek what remains in my Trash Can… I figure someone with that much determination and someone who could use a meal deserved one.” Wu answered.. Morro wanted to ask more questions, but he was already plenty Thank full that Wu wasn’t chasing him.

“Well Thank you.. Wu, but I should be going.” Morro said abruptly leaving the table, and Wu thankfully didn’t stop him.

“You are welcome here anytime Morro, please don’t forget that.” Wu had said, which caused Morro to pause.. that couldn’t be true, but Morro didn’t dwell on it long and was already making his way down the stairs… for once he had a full meal.

—————
That wouldn’t be the only time he visited Wu, first coming to tell him Thank you but overtime he found himself coming over more often, whenever he needed it he could come over it didn’t matter too him how many stairs he had too climb… for once in his life, Morro didn’t feel as… Alone.

Chapter Text

Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys is literally The Worst School of all Time! And no Lloyd wasn’t being Biased… well maybe a little, but he stood to make a good argument About why his School was The Worst of all time! or at the very least, One of the Worst.

You see The School was never the kindest in the world, it was literally a School for Bad Boys… and your first thought would probably be a School for Bad Boys? So they help The kids who are Naughty and educate them how to be Good? Well if you thought that you were sadly wrong.

Darkley’s was a School for young crime lords, to Learn the best way to be Evil and probably have a plan to destroy Ninjago or something… which at this point was very unoriginal, so Lloyd decided to be creative and steal… Candy! He’ll admit he had a bit of a sweet tooth so he loved robbing Candy… he wondered if his Father would be proud of him… who is his father you might ask? 

Well he just happens to be Lord Garmadon The one and only Dark Lord.. yeah the one from The Tales as old as time that most people probably thought were a myth… that was his Father, banished to the Cursed Realm, leaving him all Alone… he had no Mother, no Father and no Uncle which he barley knew about…. He was all alone.

But at least he has his Candy right? He had to stay optimistic somehow… sighing, Lloyd had never seemed to fit in anywhere… people hated him for who his Father was, and People were scared of him… Everyone Expected him too be like his Father… whether They were Good, fearing him or just plain mocking him for something out of his control… or The Evil who were disappointed he wasn’t a good Villain, always making fun of him and bullying him… he Never seemed to fit it no matter how he acted, because he was born in a way he couldn’t control…

But maybe this Time, he could show the Kids at Darkley’s just how Evil he was! And he’d be no longer picked on for being weak and soft, Today he’d show them all, and they Would Fear the Day they ever messed with Lloyd Garmadon! 
Easy peasy… right?
————
It was just your average day at School, as average as it could get in Darkley’s Boarding school for bad boys.

A complete waste in his opinion, all they did was go on and on, about random tactics on how to be Evil, today’s class was about ‘How to Rob a Bank, success tips to both get the Cash and get out alive.’ It was a pure miracle that the Police hadn’t taken down The School, the only semi good thing about School is wanted you to have a proper education, Lloyd had to be an Evil Genius if he planned to take over the world or something like that when he was older… and while the glasses were boring, Lloyd still made sure to pay attention, most of the other kids just ignored everything or or just broke a bunch of “Rules” which their weren’t many if at all any Rules.

But, luckily The bell rang saving Lloyd from more boredom on how bad school was…

“Finally.” Lloyd sighed, quickly packing his stuff so he could proceed with his master plan.

But Lloyd was Interrupted by one of the students, his name was Brad, Brad was probably one of the most popular kids in school and thrives on picking on just about any kid he could.

And in a School with no rules… he wasn’t punished for picking on the Kids at the School, which was a whole lotta annoying for Lloyd and some others…

“Where do you think your going?” He challenged.

“Out.” I simply said, Before running away, Brad was on my trail but I had done this a few times before, so If I could just lose him!

Apparently, luck was on my side that day as I was able to lose Brad and sneak out the door, he was so gonna beat me up later but it was worth it…
——————
Morro had been many places, he often traveled around Ninjago a Lot, trying to find the best place possible and sometimes returning to places that weren’t as bad as others.

Jamakai Village was one of those places, it was a well known area, there was some great history behind it dating back to the First Serpentine War that Morro could hardly remember.

He was just wondering around, stealing Food from the Stands undetected, until he came across a sight that made his stomach twist…. There in the middle of town was a Young Boy nowhere near old enough to be out on his own, he had Blonde hair in a bowl cut, that Morro thought didn’t quite suit him, he was wearing a Black hoodie with Skeleton patterns, the thing looked like it belonged in the Halloween section of a store and probably was… but what made Morro concerned was how the Little boy was getting pelted with Vegetables.
————

Maybe Luck actually wasn’t on his side, as his Plan had gone terribly wrong… he figured everybody and there Grandma heard of the Dark Lord so his demands would certainly be heard…. Apparently adults don’t really listen too kids, and he probably wasn’t as intimating as his Father… his hunt for Candy resulted in him getting pelted with Vegetables.. yuck, And his Master Plan had completely backfired… maybe Lloyd wasn’t cut out for being Evil… but he couldn’t be Good either… it seemed no matter how hard he tried he just simply didn’t belong… maybe he deserved to be pelted with Vegetables.

“Hey, what’s going on here!?” Someone had shouted angrily, stopping the Vegetable throwing for a moment… it was a Boy with short Black hair, that hide his face… he gave off an Eerie feel, with pale skin and an angered expression… Lloyd didn’t know what to think and silently stayed put.

One Man stepped up, he was the one who enjoyed throwing vegetables at him the most.. probably because he was the one who was also running the candy shop that Lloyd had demanded he hand over.

“We are just messing with a brat that got what was coming too him.” The man grinned, not realizing the kids anger was directed towards him.

“Isn’t that a bit much?” His voice implied calmness but he clearly wasn’t happy.

The man frowned. “Ain’t nothing the kid doesn’t deserve.” He said annoyed.

“This is not how you should be handling things!” The kid practically shouted, Lloyd was surprised someone was willing to get involved at all… maybe he was angry at them wasting vegetables… he didn’t know why this Kid would like vegetables, but it made more sense than him actually caring.

“Oh, yeah? You wanna Fight me kid?!” The Man taunted frustrated, he had grabbed a Apple out of the Basket of various throwing items and went to throw it at the Boy. 

But instead of it hitting the boy in the head painfully… it stopped, floating Magically in the air like someone had simply paused time, The kid had his hands out but they weren’t grabbing the Apple, wind flowed around his hands, grasping the Apple like an invisible set of hands.

The kid smirked after realizing what he had just done. He heard gasps from the other villagers and the Man who had just tried to pelt an Apple at him was left shocked. 

“The name’s Morro.. I suggest, you run.” He said taunting the Man.

“He’s an Elemental Master!” Some Girl shouted, some of the Villagers decided to run away from the commotion and other were left frozen.

So Morro decided to give them a little motivation, levitating the Vegetables and occasional fruits like apples out of the basket, he began throwing them at every villager who had attacked the young boy, which certainly got them too run.

Once everyone had ran away, Morro quickly turned too the Boy who he had just helped… he was sat there shocked, I mean Morro couldn’t blame him, it’s not everyday you meet someone with the power to control the wind… but Morro also got the feeling not many people stood up for him.

“Come on, they’ll probably come back soon and I’m definitely not welcome here anymore.” Morro said startling the boy, who after some time just nodded taking Morro’s hand as he lead them away.

Morro took them far away too a Train that was leading back too Ninjago city and snuck them aboard, he realized this probably wasn’t the best idea as a kid as young as Lloyd probably had Parents or Guardians worried for him… but Morro would deal with that later. 

“You Okay kid?” I asked, the kid simply nodded his head and seemed a little shaken. 

I decided it would be best to start with the simple questions. “So what’s your name?” He really didn’t wanna be calling this kid ‘Kid.’ For the whole time they were together.

“Lloyd..” he mumbled, and that was the first time he heard The kid- Lloyd, speak. So that was a start.

I nodded. “Well Lloyd, seems we’ll be with each other for quite some time… and I don’t know about you but I’m kinda curious why you were getting attacked with Vegetables..” i asked curiously, might as well get to know him.

Lloyd figured this was it… once Morro realized Lloyd was just some brat trying to demand candy from people he’d know he deserved to be pelted with vegetables… or worse.

“I… I was trying to Get Candy?” Lloyd said hesitantly, Morro raised his eyebrows. “I uh.. was Demanding Candy from the villagers cuz they wouldn’t give me any for free.” Lloyd said nervously… he had already seen what this guy could do and he did not want too mess with him…

“Why didn’t you just steal it?” Morro blurted out, Lloyd wasn’t expecting that response.

“What?” Lloyd asked confused. 

“Why didn’t you just steal the Candy?” Morro asked like his question was obvious.

Was this a trick question..? Lloyd didn’t know… “I’m uh.. am bad at stealing? I would’ve probably gotten caught..” He was being honest, he never could perfect the ‘Art of Stealing’ that his peers succeeded in almost as easily as breathing… well most of them.

Morro didn’t know what made him want too help Lloyd… he barely new him! But there was something about him… he could’ve just not taken Lloyd with him and left him at the town.. and now he was on the Train with him headed to Ninjago… and he felt, like he wanted too help somehow.

“Ever been too Mega Monster Amusement Park?” He asked, well there was no going back now.

Lloyd blinked super fast confused. “No I haven’t…?” He said unsure… was he supposed to know what this Mega Monster amusement park was? 

“Oh you’ll love it, they have Great selections of Candy.” Morro grinned, for the first time in forever letting his walls down and opening up.

Chapter Text

Once the Train had stopped Morro skillfully guided Lloyd of the train as too not be caught by anybody who realized they didn’t pay too get here.

Then they hitchhiked on a Truck that was headed too Ninjago City.

Lloyd had never been on an adventure like this! Morro was so cool and evil unlike him! He knew every great tactic they’d need too survive… but unlike some of the other kids he knew he wasn’t entirely Evil… he did good things too, but Lloyd didn’t know why…

“Whatcha thinking about Green bean?” That brought Lloyd out of his thoughts… Green bean of all the things to call me you pick Green bean!?

Morro laughed. So apparently he said that out Loud. 

“So why.. Green bean?” Lloyd asked confused, it wasn’t even that good of a nickname and it didn’t sound clever whatsoever.

Morro smirked. “Well earlier when I asked the greatest conversation starter question of all time ‘What’s your favorite color?’ you said ‘Green’ and then went on a tangent on why Green was the best color! So your a Lil Green bean… and I don’t care what you say.” Morro smiled, he was becoming more comfortable around Lloyd and it felt good to talk to someone freely… also Lloyd didn’t seem to misjudge him or hate him in anyway.

“But Green is like the perfect color for evil! It stands for like..  sickness and death! And uh… greed and envy?” Lloyd was trying to think about how Green could be an evil color… he had this whole defense prepared so the staff at Darkley’s would let him wear his favorite color… The dress code was particularly evil… and why of all things to make a rule, it’s the Dress code?

“It also is a Good color for health and life, nature and peace… Green really can be either, there’s no deciding factor.” Morro explained 

Lloyd frowned remembering his earlier thought, he then turned too Morro too ask. “Do you consider yourself… Good or Evil?” The question has been burning in his head for the longest time… was he Good or Evil? He couldn’t be good because of his father and he couldn’t be evil because he wasn’t good at it..

Morro raised an eyebrow at Lloyd but still answered. “I don’t know, some people I know would probably consider me evil… but those are the people that don’t understand me… I like too think I’m not Evil, but I haven’t done the most good in the world… I do bad things like stealing because I had too… but I try and repay it forward by doing Good, like green you could say I’m also neither one or the other.” He smiled amused never thinking he would compare himself to a color.

“Huh… but don’t you have to be one or the other?” Lloyd asked confused.

“No, you don’t… who told you that?” Morro asked confused..

“Some kids at school..” he said shrugging.

“Well we aren’t all Black and white there’s is good in everyone while the same can be said about Evil… nobody can force you too be one or the other…. To be fair there isn’t really a good or evil…. But we base things on our actions…” Morro explained the best he could.

Lloyd supposed that made sense… but that was such an eye opener too him.. nobody ever told him he had a choice… they just told him he had too be Evil… because Being good simply didn’t make sense… but Lloyd didn’t want to admit that being Good sounded like the better option… but he was always too scared too try.

“What do you think Lloyd, are you Good or Evil?” Morro asked him.

He just shook his head and said “I don’t know…” and Morro smiled reassuringly and said…

“One day… you’ll find out.” Lloyd smiled back appreciative.

“Just make sure it’s your choice and no one else’s.” Morro added on, and Lloyd nodded.
———-
Eventually they made it too Ninjago City, sneaking away from the Truck as Morro took Lloyd around the city.

“Woah.” Lloyd had said surprised.. he had never been too Ninjago City, only seen pictures of it… but seeing it in person was a whole other experience.

Morro smirked and said “Come on, let’s head too Mega Monster amusement park.” 

The two young boys walked down alleyways and avoided any concerned adults, finally making their way to Mega Monster Amusement Park… it was a sight many kids would’ve only dreamed of seeing and the pure shock on Lloyds face made Morro laugh.

“This is Mega Monster Amusement Park?!” Lloyd said in awe.

“Yep.” Morro said amused. They walked over too the front were Morro was gonna steal some tickets from the cash register, but it was difficult with the lady guarding the ticket booth.

“Okay, here’s the Plan, you go and distract her make up something to get her away from the booth or whatever, and I’ll steal the tickets, can you do that?” Lloyd nodded taking in all the information.

Lloyd walked over too the Ticket booth turning around too look at Morro who was hiding, he gave Lloyd a thumbs up before Lloyd ran up too the Lady trying to look panicked.

“Ma’m you gotta help me! I can’t find my parents!” Lloyd said panicked.

The Lady looked at him, and now reading her tag Lloyd was able to find her Name was Isabelle.

“Oh sweetie of course I’ll help you.” She said softly. “Where’d you last see them?” She asked.

Lloyd looked around before pointing over too a Coffee shop, the girl nodded and exited the booth.

“Well I’ll just close the booth for now.” She said putting up a sign that said ‘Be right back!’

And she followed Lloyd over too the Coffee shop and began helping him look for his “parents”

Step 1 of the plan complete.
——-
Morro was so proud Lloyd was able to get the Lady to go away, but now it was his part of the plan… quickly running over, he climbed over the counter and stuffed his pockets with tickets.

Before quickly running away from the booth heading too the Coffee shop too find Lloyd.

“What’s your parent’s names honey?” He heard The lady say turning around he tried to get Lloyd’s attention.

“Oh uh… their names are… Morro!” Lloyd shouted spotting Morro who was waving his hand for Lloyd to come over.

“Morro?” The girl asked confused, but Lloyd made a sprint towards Morro surprising her.

“Hey!” She shouted caught off guard, but the boys were already running far away… she sighed and returned too her post, before noticing the missing tickets… those brats.

She sighed with annoyance grabbing her Walkie-talkie and speaking with annoyance.

“Some brats just stole my tickets.” She said too security. “One of them had short blonde hair with a black hoodie and the other is around thirteen with short lengthy black hair and pale skin.”
————

Morro and Lloyd were laughing and joking around from there earlier in counter with Ms Isabelle as Lloyd called her.

“Did you see how angry she was?” Lloyd laughed.. he then frowned. “I feel kinda bad though.” He admitted.

Morro turned and smiled at him “Hey it’s okay… now why don’t we go get some Candy?” Morro winked and Lloyd lit up with excitement causing Morro too chuckle.

They both walked up to a Candy booth, and Lloyds mouth was practically watering at the sweet treats, The person behind the shop greeted them Kindly, and Morro put two tickets on The desk for some Cotten candy.

“What do you want?” Morro asked, Lloyd shrugged saying “I’ll take some Cotten candy too.” Morro nodded placing two more tickets on the counter.

The man running the Candy ship nodded politely and asked the boys “What color would you like?”

“Do you have Green?” Lloyd asked seriously and Morro burst out laughing, of course Lloyd would want Green.

The man smiled politely “Sorry sport, just Blue and Pink.” 

“That’s boring..” Lloyd mumbled and Morro snorted. “I’ll take Blue I guess.” Lloyd said.

Morro shrugged and said “I’ll take Pink.” And the man nodded and started preparing there Cotten candy, it was fun watching it spin fast until it could attach its self to the Cotten candy stick.

Then the man handed them there Cotten Candy and Lloyd eagerly took his getting it all over his face, Morro laughed loudly.

Morro couldn’t remember the last time he had this much fun… but he didn’t want it too end.

But luck wasn’t always on his side… The Man running the Candy booth, picked up his Walkie-talkie hearing the report about the two Kids who stole some tickets.

And realized the kids in front of him who were happily eating away at there Cotten candy and laughing fit the description…

“Hey kids, mind if I ask you some questions?” Morro looked at the Man suspiciously and Lloyd was nervous.

“Sure…” Morro quickly said 

“First off, who are you guys here with?” The man asked looking around for any adults that were watching over the kids from a distance… he found no one.

“Uh, we are here with our Uncle.. he didn’t wanna walk all the way over here and is probably waiting for us…” Morro lied, trying to slowly back away from the man.

The guy sighed “Sorry boys but ima have too take you guys with me over too security.” The man looked apologetic.

Morro frozen, this wasn’t going well… he shouted out Loud “Run!” And he and Lloyd were off leaving the Man to shout “Hey!” Call security and run after them.

“This was a bad idea!” Lloyd shouted trying too keep up with Morro as they ran towards the exit.

“I know I’m sorry!” Morro apologized long ago dropping his Cotten candy too make chase.

“It’s Okay!” Lloyd reassured as they ran towards the exit, finally allowing themselves a short amount of time to catch their breath.

but they were interrupted, as they forgot a certain someone who was at the entrance of the amusement park.

“You Boys are coming with me!” The Ticket lady said annoyed blocking off Their exit. ‘Are you kidding me?’ Morro thought ‘I just can’t catch a break now can I?’ He grumbled annoyed.

“Please Isabelle let us go.” Lloyd pleaded, but she wasn’t having any of it.

“Well you asked for it..” Morro said confusing her and he grabbed Lloyd’s hand and sprinted off using his wind powers to force her out of the way.

“Come on!” Morro shouted as they continued running, ducking into varies all ways finally losing Them..  collapsing onto the floor breathing hard.

“That… was Amazing!” Lloyd shouted then coughed still catching his breath.

Morro gave him a look that said ‘are you crazy?’ But Lloyd was still happy.

“Did you see us!? I can’t believe we out ran security and how you used your wind powers to push her out of the way!! I can’t believe we got away with that!” Morro continued to listen to Lloyd happily rant about everything they did that day.

“That was amazing… your amazing..” Morro looked shocked, then Lloyd continued “I don’t wanna go back…”

“Go back where?” Morro asked confused, did Lloyd really think he was… Amazing?

“Too Darkley’s…” and seeing Morro’s confused face he explained himself more. “It’s a School for bad boys..” 

“A School for Bad Boy’s?” Morro asked confused.

“Yeah.. they teach the kids how too be Evil, but I’m not good at it…” Lloyd hugged himself, he didn’t wanna go back.. too the Bullying the nightmares… the disappointment.. here with Morro it was fun… he finally had a friend, someone who didn’t leave him behind when they got in trouble… someone who fought for him… someone who seemed to actually care..

“Why?” Morro asked. Why is there a School for evil..? Guess it’s not the craziest thing Morro’s heard but still… why is Lloyd in that school?

“My father is evil.. so people expect me too be like him.” Lloyd admitted 

It sadly made sense… it explained why Lloyd tried to be Evil but still didn’t quite enjoy it, it explained why he was nervous to tell Morro who his father was… because he was probably some well known villain… did Lloyd expect Morro too hurt him because of who his father was? Did, people hurt him.. for who his father was? Something out of his control…

“Do you want too be Evil?” Morro asked despite already having an idea of what the answer was.

“No..” Lloyd admitted. “And I don’t wanna go back.”

Morro thought for a moment then said “You don’t have too. You don’t have too go back, you don’t have too be Evil.” Morro said 100% serious.

“But my Father…” Lloyd said upset.

“Your father does not define you, you make those choices… not him.” Morro reassured.

“What if he’s disappointed in me..” Lloyd said hugging himself, Morro decided to hug him too surprising Lloyd.

“A Father should be Proud and supportive of you no matter what, a Parent is supposed to guide you when you make mistakes.. choosing to be good isn’t a mistake… and you may find yourself on different sides… but sometimes… it’s worth the risk.” Morro hoped he said something helpful, he wasn’t good at this kind of thing… but he tried.

Lloyd wiped away the tears from his eyes sniffled and said “Thanks..”

Morro smiled… “but now where do we go?” Lloyd asked.

And Morro frowned… he hadn’t thought of that.. but then he smiled and said “Wu.”

“Who?” Lloyd asked complete and utter confusion spread across his face.

Chapter Text

After escaping Mega Monster Amusement Park, Morro took Lloyd too meet someone he called Wu. 

“So Who’s Wu?” Lloyd asked confused, the name sounded familiar but he was probably thinking of someone else.

Morro smiled happy “he’s this old man that lives at the Monastery, we met when I was dumpster diving through his Trash can… he’s nice… he offers me Food whenever I visit, and always welcomes me in with open arms saying I could stay if I wanted…. But I wasn’t sure… but maybe he can help us!” It sounded like a good plan… and If it wasn’t… it was the only plan they had.

Lloyd nodded agreeing, then he stopped and asked “Wait… why were you dumpster diving threw his Trash can?”

Morro simply shrugged and said “I was hungry.” 
——
Apparently to get too Wu, They had to climb the longest Staircase in existence… was this Guy Mad?! Lloyd had complained many time while Morro agreed that the Staircase was a bit much… why not get like an elevator or something? Lloyd would hate to be the one to deliver mail too this house.

But they finally made it too the top sweating and a little exhausted. “I forgot how tiring climbing this Staircase could be.” Morro complained, standing up and walking towards the Door Lloyd followed.

Morro simply rung the doorbell, and a Man who was maybe in his late to mid thirties? Greeted them.. he had Blonde hair similar too Lloyd’s and something about this guy stuck him as familiar… but he wasn’t sure.

“Morro, it is good too see you again.” The man greeted happily he then turned too Lloyd and gave him a curious look but not unkind “it’s seems you’ve brought a guest.”

Morro nodded and said “This is my friend Lloyd, Lloyd this is Wu the guy I talked too you about.” Something about Wu’s expression looked like he recognized something when he heard the name Lloyd… hopefully he just knew someone with the same name, because Lloyd really didn’t wanna deal with someone hating him because of his father…

“I see, nice too meet you Lloyd, why don’t you Boys come in?” Wu opened the door welcoming then in, and Morro happily followed letting Lloyd know it was okay too trust this man.

Wu set up a plate of snacks which Morro gratefully accepted, Lloyd was still intrigued by the man and still hesitant being in a room with someone he didn’t know…

And once they sat on the couch Wu asked “So is there any particular reason you boys stopped by?” 

Before Morro could open his Mouth too Explain, Lloyd beat him too it blurting out “Do I know you..?” There was a silence that followed and Wu set down his Cup of Tea with a silent clank sound.

“What is your last name Lloyd?” Wu asked calmly.

Morro just stared on confused… but didn’t say a word.

“Garmadon.” Wu sucked in a breath, which already revealed a lot of things… “Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon.” Lloyd said anxiously, from Wu’s reaction it couldn’t have been anything Good.

“Lloyd?” Wu asked softly and Lloyd nodded hesitantly. “My have you grown…” Which was the first thing he said, Lloyd looked confused.

“What do you mean… do I know you?” He thought maybe Wu knew his father and would hate him… but maybe it was actually something more.

“Of course I do.” Wu responded. “Your my Nephew.” Lloyds mind froze… ‘Your my Nephew.’

“That means…” Lloyd gasped loudly it was almost comical.

“I’m your Uncle, younger brother of Lord Garmadon.” Wu confirmed.

Lloyd was in shock, thousands of thoughts floating around in his head… he couldn’t believe it, his Uncle was here.. and alive? Where was he?! Why didn’t he help him… wasn’t family supposed to be here for each other? So why was Lloyd’s so dysfunctional…

“Why..?” Was all that Lloyd could say.. it was barley audible… but everyone heard it regardless… Wu gave him a look that said he needed to continue speaking, somehow finding the strength too speak… he said.

“Why… were you never there for me… Where, were you?” Lloyd asked upset, Morro came by his side to offer support.

Wu sighed.. “Sometimes there are lines  even Brothers do not cross… no matter what side we are on. The Great Devour’s Venom in your Fathers veins, turned him evil.. he started despising me more and more overtime, and I knew he wouldn’t want me interfering with your life… so I stepped away.”

“So you gave up on us… just like that?” Lloyd asked angered, Morro was by his side keeping him calm, Morro sighed internally, this is not how He saw this meeting going.

“You had your Mother, I knew you would be safer without me…”

“Well your wrong! My mother abandoned me Years ago!!” Lloyd shouted.. he couldn’t believe this… “She left me alone, at Darkley’s School for Bad Boys where I got bullied each day with nobody to turn too for help!” Lloyd wanted to cry, he had buried these emotions long ago and now they were resurfacing.

“No, that can’t be true… Misako would never do something like that..” Wu looked surprised and upset.

“Well she did… I haven’t seen her in years.” Lloyd admitted, getting a side hug from Morro, who looked a bit uncomfortable and awkward not really knowing what to do… but Lloyd appreciated it anyways.

“Lloyd… I’m sorry..” Wu said regretfully, he seemed genuinely upset with what he had done, but Lloyd wasn’t in the mood.

“Save it. If you couldn’t care then why should I trust you now?” 

“Lloyd I do care… your family, your my nephew and I Love you.” Wu said hurt by Lloyd’s words but he knew they were deserved.

“Love is not the same as trust…. And you broke my trust.” Lloyd just didn’t know what else to say.

“I’m sorry Lloyd… I shouldn’t have left like that, I was being selfish I figured Garmadon would never want me with you… but I never thought about you, and now I’ve made a grave mistake.” Lloyd was looking down at the ground, hiding his anger… he wasn’t really mad at Wu more so Upset and disappointed.

Wu sighed “I was too scared to Upset my brother and In never facing the problem and doing what is right I ended up making you upset.” Lloyd finally looked up, at Wu, eyes watering a bit, Morro was still close by his side hugging him tightly.

“I have made a grave Mistake Lloyd and I’m sorry… but Sorry isn’t enough, so I promise I’ll make it up too you.” Wu promised.

“You will?” Lloyd asked hopefully.

“From this day forward, I won’t abandon or leave you ever again if I can help it… from this day forward you will now live with me instead.” Wu said it reassuringly and this time he meant it.

“Both of you.” He would now look after and care for both Lloyd and Morro… and maybe one day Lloyd would find himself forgiving Wu…

But at least he know had a Family, no matter how dysfunctional it could be… he’d make it work.

Because for him… this Family was worth it.

Chapter Text

It had been awhile sense Morro and Lloyd decided to go and Live with Wu, they were both still getting used too it… Morro wasn’t used too so much Food and Lloyd struggled with forgetting he wasn’t at Darkley’s… while also still trying too trust his uncle.

Morro knew it was weird for Lloyd, he thought his Uncle had abandoned him because he didn’t like him, but it was more to do with his Father not wanting his Uncle in his life… his Uncle didn’t know, and that’s what Lloyd kept telling himself.

But Morro wanted to cheer him up, and he had the perfect idea for it… after sneaking around in one of Wu’s closets he found something that was pure blackmail materiel.

Laughing, he went and pulled out a small cardboard box from the closet then rushed too Lloyd’s room, hearing out for a “Come in.” Before busting in and setting the box onto the floor.

Lloyd was there reading a comic book he was really into, but turned away from it to give Morro his attention and his glance was curiously directed towards the cardboard box.

“What is it?” Lloyd asked confused, getting a grin from Morro.

“Come see!” So Lloyd hoped of his bed and joined Morro on the floor by the box, The box had a random selection of things, there was a couple of bottles of colored Hair spray and other colored dye and hair styling assortments.

“Where’d you find this?” Lloyd asked curiously.

“I found it in Wu’s closet, look.” He said grinning handing Lloyd a photo.

Lloyd started laughing along with Morro once he saw it. It was a photo of Wu when he was a bit younger wearing bright green hair.. it didn’t suit him at all! He reminded Lloyd of  one of those kids trying to fit in with what was trendy, the thought made Lloyd laugh more… it didn’t fit his Uncle at all.

There was also some other photos that included his mother and father… though Lloyd wasn’t that interested in looking at them, but it brought a smile too his face seeing them goofing off.

“I thought maybe we could try some.” Morro said happily.

“Do you even know how this stuff works?” Lloyd said Sarcastically, not believing Morro knew anything about this stuff… but hey he could surprise him.

“Nope!” Morro said happily “but how hard could it be?” He grinned, and Lloyd rolled his eyes.

Then eventually looked through the colors until Morro pointed out. “Hey Look Green!” And they both laughed. “Green sounds good, I think it’d look better with your hair then mine.” Lloyd said

Morro grabbed the Green Hair dye, reading the instructions trying to figure out how it worked then shrugged and just put it randomly in his hair.

Lloyd was full on laughing. “Your Hair is fully green!” He giggled, the green wasn’t mixed properly causing his hair to look like a weird mix of Black and green.

Morro looked at the mirror and laughed, he did a horrible good and his hair looked like a mess he also still had Green dye on his hands…

Lloyd was still laughing, so Morro decided to grab the Hair Spray dye. “How about I dye your hair!” Morro laughed as Lloyd quickly shot up off the floor to run away giggling the whole way.

They chased each other for a long time, until Wu kindly asked them to stop, asking where they got the hair dye. “Oh no where!”Morro grinned while looking at Lloyd.

The colored hair dye was everywhere! Wu wasn’t even sure how it was possible, but he laughed the two Boy’s reminded him of he and Garmadon when they were younger… too bad they were on different sides.

After they had gotten the dye everywhere, looking like a Rainbow had attacked the two or something, Wu sent them off to wash their hair and clothing, thankfully getting the dye out.

“You know… I like the color Green, it reminds me of you.” Morro said too Lloyd, and he decided too keep a strip of green hair in with his already black hair, doing it right this time.

For once, Lloyd and Morro weren’t alone, they could be happy and laugh while having Fun… and that was all that mattered.

Maybe this could work out… they had their family back, and neither of them wanted to lose them again.

The End.
