I love these kinds of aus so much, like the whole idea that one of the ninja can be lost to there elements is so interesting to me but heartbreaking for everyone around them. Like just imagine one day there here and the next theyāre gone well technically theyāre still there but not at the same time.
In my au so far itās more focused on the aftermath, how the ninja handles what happened to there brother and filling what I feel the show missed out after what happened in seabound like we ļæ¼barely got to see how the rest of the ninja handled it like all we had was a time skip to a whole year later when they had mostly accepted what happened ( well not Jay). How would it had been if it was someone else and not Nya? What if it was Kai instead, how would this affect the team? Most importantly Nya and Lloyd? What about Kai and Nyas own parents?? And canāt forget about Skylor , how would this affect the team and overall what about Kai?
In my opinion Nya wouldnāt waste the chance to get kai back like thatās her brother, the one that literally raised her. Heās isnāt ļæ¼ just a brother heās literally a parent to her and Same with Lloyd. The ninja would probably go down a different state of grief, Lloyd without a doubt would be depression, Nya would be denial, it takes them longer to accept what happened to Kai and Lloyd starts to lose control of his powers a little. They both lash out at people who want to help, but just as Nya starts to accept what happened to her brother something happens to Lloyd ( no spoilers).
And kai is there to help them but heās mad at them he doesnāt understand why heās even mad at them, he doesnāt even know them. Lloyd argues back, and something snaps in kai causing him to somewhat come back but heās still stuck as his element, his minds is half gone half foggy heās sometimes unsure of whatās happening around him but at least it canāt get any worse.. right.
