Chapter Text
(No ones POV and takes place before Lloyd found the other ninja)
Sora and Arin were getting trained by Lloyd when suddenly the middle of the training grounds spilt into a massive merge
quake sucking Sora in..
Arin yelps out, "SORA!!" As he goes to grab her but it's too late.
Lloyd looks shocked but without much thought he quickly jumps in after her and shortly after he does the Merge Quake closes leaving Arin alone and scared in the middle of the training grounds.

"SORA QUICK, GRAB ONTO MY LEG!!" Lloyd shouts so they don't get separated as they fall through the fast moving tunnel of pink, purple, red, blue, yellow, orange, and green. Sora grabs onto his leg quickly before falling hard onto concrete.
Sora sits up and grabs her head groaning, then noticing they landed in an alley of a big city.
"Where are we..?" She asks with confusion.
Lloyd mumbles, "No i-it can't be..."
Sora asks in a panic, "What is it bad..?"
"No it's odd—we're in Old Ninjago city." He replies as he stand up dusting the dirt off of himself.
"Like Ninjago before the merge?" She asks with confusion, "How is that even possible?"
"No clue but let's try and figure out the date" He says while lending a hand to Sora.
After they both get up Lloyd tried to alter and hide his ninja gi since there is a high possibility his old self is nearby.
"So any clue on how we are going to find out the date?" She asks fixing her ponytail and putting her headphones around her neck so you can't see the ears to blend in better.
"Yeah, just you're not allowed to judge." He says as he begins to walk leading Sora through the busy sidewalk of where he used to live.
"Why would I judge?" She asks honestly confused.
"You'll see, just please don't." Lloyd replies as he speeds up.
{around 15 minutes of walking later}
Sora snickers, "A comic book shop..?"
"Yeah yeah whatever snicker all you want." Lloyd answers back as he walks towards the best selling section to a series called StarFarer.
Sora pops her head over Lloyds shoulder to see what he is doing.
"Okay so it must be around when I was 14-15" He says looking at the newest copy of the comic series but then he slightly tenses up as he realizes something.
Sora notices this and asks, "What's wrong..?"
"Just wait a second.." He goes up to the cashier, a man with long brown hair thrown into a ponytail and an orange shirt that has extremely red faded print.
"Hi excuse me, could you just remind me of the date?" Lloyd asks politely.
The man replies, "Of course it's xxx"
Lloyd nods and says thank you and as he walks out and Sora follows him back outside.
"So what's wronggg..?" She asks actually getting concerned from Lloyd's body language.
"Let's just say it wasn't the best time me and the ninjas had.." he laughs awkwardly as he walks towards a quiet spot to sit at an empty playground.
Sora sits down next to him and looks at him confused as she replies, "What happened?"
"I don't know if the public or should I say Arin knows much about it but our threat was Morro." He answers trying his best to be vague since he doesn't want to go into the details.
"Morro?" She says, "No doesn't ring a bell."
"Okay I don't exactly know how to explain it right now but first things first I think we need to find the ninja." Lloyd says biting his lip.
Sora scraps the questions for later as she asks, "so where to?"
"Stixx." Lloyd replies as he gets up and starts to walk and Sora quickly follows behind.
