CHAPTER 1- Comming

Thanks @senseigarmadonfan for beeing my beta reader❤️

"This was a bad idea," Garmadon groaned as he and his wife made their way to the docks.

"What? Bringing me along? Please don't tell me you planned to just disappear without saying a single word to your wife."

Misako hugged herself tighter. She regretted not taking a jacket with her. It was too cold for a summer night. Hugging Garmadon to get warmer was not an option.

"Of course not!" Garmadon bit his lip. "I just don't want you to see them! I don't want you to go to that cursed island. You know that's a possibility. I don't want them to hurt you." Garmadon exhailed hevily.

"And I want to be with my husband and son, no matter what. I'm tired of being scared for you while you two almost die."

"I know, but..." Garmadon sighed and gently pulled Misako closer as they continued walking. "You're cold."

"Mm." Misako sighed and leaned against him. She knew it was her husband's way of saying, I don't want to argue anymore. She accepted that, even if she felt she had every right to argue.

"Lloyd, wait!" Misako screamed and ran to her son.

"Mom? Dad?"

"Lloyd, if you go to that ship, you may never return!" Garmadon joined her.

Lloyd looked at them in surprise, his shoulders falling. "I must go. Zane is there, and he is family. You always say that we don't leave our family behind."

"Zane?!" Misako and Garmadon exchanged a look.

"How do you—"

"Oh, look. Isn't that Lord Garmadon?" a mocking voice said. "Or rather... Sensei Garmadon."

"Clouse," Garmadon growled. "I see Master Chen still has you running his errands."

The archaeologist's eyes met Clouse's. There was something so familiar about his face, something Misako couldn't quite place.

"Do I know him?" she whispered to her husband.

Clouse looked her up and down. Something glimmered in his eyes as they stared at each other.

"No." Garmadon bit his lip as he frowned, watching his old enemy observe his wife. "At least..."

"So, I assume this is your Misako?"

"Leave her alone!" Garmadon flinched and stepped in front of his wife. "She stays out of this! Like Lloyd and all of them!"

"Why so tense, Sensei? I just asked. Are you, perhaps, afraid that she'll find out things she won't be pleased with? Hmm?"

Garmadon clenched his fists, and Misako stared at him in shock. She had expected a reaction, but this was far too intense.

"What things?" Misako's eyes met Clouse's, and something glimmered in his eyes before it quickly disappeared.

"Not yet." Clouse spitted.

"Lloyd, Ninja... maybe it's better if we—" Misako just wanted to escape that strangely tense conversation that sent chills down her spine. And those chills weren't from the cold at all.

"No, Mum. Sorry, I need to go. For Zane."

"Then we're going too," Misako announced and tried to pass, but Garmadon caught her shoulders.

"There's no place. Wait. There is only one place on the boat." Clouse chuckled as he made his way onto the boat.

"I'm going," Garmadon declared firmly. "It's too dangerous. Misako, you need—"

"No way!" Misako turned and stared at Garmadon. She wanted to punch him in the face, but she knew she could never hurt him. She would just end up crying. Why was he pushing her away?

"She can go," Clouse said, giving her another strange look. "Misako only."

"No!" Garmadon roared and jumped to punch one of the servants off the deck.

"Shall we?".He unwillingly offered Misako his hand, and they climbed onto the boat.

"Don't worry, Clouse. We're not here to compete, only to look after our interests." Garmadon smiled and placed a hand on his son's shoulder.

~~~~~~

"I have a strong feeling that I know him," Misako sighed as she and Garmadon observed the other Elemental Masters.

"Hm... I don't know. I don't like the way he stares at you. I bet in his head he already has pictures of how to torture you."

"Garm—" Misako gently took his hand, she knew the way to calm her husband down.

"Please." Her husband sighed calmly, and that made Misako pause. He wasn't against her; he was just trying to protect her. "You know what's the worst part? They'll torture you and Lloyd, and the reason would be to hurt me. I can no longer watch you suffer for my past mistakes."Garmadon clenched her hand,his shoulders almost shaking.Almost.

"Garmadon, I—" Misako caught her husband's hand. Biting her lip, she glanced at Clouse. His eyes met hers, causing her to look away. "I have a feeling I should know him. And he looks at me like he knows me too."

"Well... he's from Buck. I mean, you look a lot like—"

"What's Buck?" Kai approached them, followed by all the ninja. "And care to explain how all of these people have elemental powers?"

"Kai,we'll explain everything,don't worry."Garmadon sighed.

Clouse was gone somewhere and Misako found herself searching for him in the crowd then she catched Garmadon staring at her.

~~~~~

"Yes. I'm sure that Misako is her."Clouse whispered, clenching the phone.

"Well, well, Clousy," Master Chen laughed maniacally through the phone. "What an interesting twist! Tell me, does she know about Garmadon's little secret?"

"She seems to have no idea."

"That's great. Then we have all the cards in our hands. While they focus on the tournament and Garmadon's past with us, they won't even notice how you and Misako are connected."Chen laughted.

~~~~~~

"Why are you two staring at each other like that?" Lloyd frowned. "How many things do we not know?!"

"Don't be so angry, Lloyd." Misako smiled sadly at him. She placed an arm around his shoulder, and he accepted the comfort. "Things come out in their own time. You'll find out what you need to know when the time is right. But—"

"To answer your question,Kai," Garmadon coughed and looked at the sea, "across the seas there are many kingdoms. Why those faces? Don't tell me you believed Ninjago was the only place in the world. There are plenty of other kingdoms and countries. The one we were talking about is called the Six Duchies. Buck is one of the duchies—the capital one. Clouse is from there."

"As am I," Misako smiled sadly. Lloyd stepped back from her.

"You're not from Ninjago?" Everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

"No." Misako chuckled. "When the time is right, I'll tell you more. But it's too dangerous here—"

"Mom!" Lloyd begged. "Dad?" Garmadon's eyes met Misako's, and he nodded.

"Now, to answer your questions about the other Elemental Masters Kai-"

Misako stopped listening to her husband and looked into the distance. Her home—or at least the place where she had been born and raised—was closer than usual. She sighed and closed her eyes, fighting both the good and horrible memories that came flooding back with her past. But one question troubled her. Who is Clouse?

"You good?"Garmadon placed an arm on Misako's shoulder.

"Yeah."Misako gently took his hand, which was trembling.

"You?" she barely whispered, looking into his troubled eyes.

"Hm." Garmadon bit his lip. "I swore never to return."

"You shouldn't swear. It's a sign of poor verbal skills." Jay suddenly appeared behind them.

Misako and Garmadon both shot him a warning look.

"Why have you—"Lloyd started to approach his parents, but Misako stopped him.

"Haunted by the look in my eyes that would've loved you for a lifetime"

"Tell me, when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?

When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?"

"But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head

After giving you the best I had

Tell me what to give after that

All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness"

"There'll be happiness after you

But there was happiness because of you too

Both of these things can be true

There is happiness

And he would have a haunted house/maze type of set up with Shark Army members all dressed up in spooky costumes and they scare you as you go through... and like, lots of good party music with lights and a fog machine. And before the party he would be like "Luhloyd you should invite your whole class! It's gonna be so fun! They are gonna love it!"

And Lloyd is all hesitant about it cause he thinks it's gonna be awful and everybody is gonna hate him even more... but he ends up inving the class and turns out that everybody loves the party and are having the times of their lives and Lloyd becomes the post popular kid in the school cause his dad throws rad parties. And now that Garmadon is not destroying the city anymore, eventually everybody ends up warming up to him.

And of course when Koko gets there Garm is like "hey Kokes, glad you could make it! This party is off the chain, yeeaah!".

And then Garm and Koko hit the dancefloor and everybody is like "woaaah they got the moves!".

YEAHHH BABY

i have no idea what the timeline is (how old garm and misako were when they had lloyd, how old lloyd was when garm left and misako abandoned him, etc.) so i’m just roughly throwing things out in hope they fit the timeline

- ANYWAY so you know those little kids who get mad when their parents show affection and immediately try to break it up

- that’s how lloyd was

- misako and garm would be laying in bed cuddling and lloyd would just run in and shimmy himself in the middle of them

- garm would carry lloyd on his shoulders constantly

- lloyd would bop him on the arm with a staff or something and garm would dramatically fall over, acting like lloyd had defeated him in a battle (haha foreshadowing)

- misako would routinely come home to garm and lloyd making blanket forts

- “sorry koko, no girls allowed.”

“yeah mommy, no girls allowed!”

- cue misako rolling her eyes with a smirk and threatening no dessert after dinner

- cue garm and lloyd slowly crawling out of the blanket fort

- when lloyd gets nightmares he’ll go in and sleep with garm and misako, and they’ll snuggle up to him so he doesn’t feel alone

- lloyd will wake his parents up by crawling on top of the bed and just immediately start jumping

- garm wakes up first and pulls him down on the bed

- he will scream. and misako will wake up freaked out

- misako will come home to garm fast asleep with lloyd also fast asleep on garm’s chest

- they were going to be a happy family but noooo dumb stupid devourer venom ruined it >:(

@merjago Day 29 - Boat

That maybe sounds strange, due to the fact, that he is evil. But just remember, how he trusted snakes. He never thought that they will betray him, despite he knew that he can't trust snakes! He thought that they will obey him withought any crosses fingers behind the back.

They betrayed him.

Then Garmadon just trusted Overlord really fast. And he start to complite orders, that he was giving to Garmadon. And he never thought Overlord was only using him.

Well.... Overlord was using him.

And then Misako.

He just couldn't do anything, but trust her. Trust that she is finally understood him.

But she was here only for helmet. I think, that betrayl was painful for Garmadon. 'Cause he really loved Misako so much.

The hole scene with them just killed me. And this dialog

Misako: Then you are not the man I married. I should go

Garmadon: No! Don't...

That just killing me! He don't want to stay alone. He don't want to lose her!

The only thing Garmadon is cared, that is his son and wife, whom he love so much.

So, Misako's betrayl is really hurted him so bad...
