Lost And Found, Arc 1: Buried Treasure

If I ask nicely will people reblog this and tell me what their most common breakfast is? Not your favorite necessarily, just what you have for breakfast most frequently? 🙏🏽

I mean they did sorta do that in season 3 with borg and wu, not fully nindroid tho

You know I’m actually kinda surprised the concept of turning a human character into a nindroid hasn’t been done in ninjago yet.

And yeah sure it could be a bit too dark of a concept but they’re very capable of doing off screen and the character is suddenly miraculously alive as a surprise twist

Ninjago hc’s for funsies (I’ve only just started dragons rising so this is just pre merge characters <3)

-kai is sort of a jack of all trades due to raising himself and nya. He can mend clothes but the stitching is messy, he can make a filling meal with random ingredients but it never tastes right

-Lloyd’s eyes are red but he started wearing green contacts when the ninja started getting publicity bc they freaked people out

-Lloyd IS still a prankster, just has to focus on his green ninja duties, being pranked by him is a sign he feels he can be “Lloyd” around you and not just “the green ninja”

-misako knew about garmadon’s corruption and desperately tried to find a cure (her efforts were, of course, fruitless)

Guys if i disappear from the ninjago fandom for a bit i am so sorry, ive been possessed by a musically induced alien spore <3

First off: that name is adorable, molten??? Oml so cute.

Second off I’m going to consume your art this is fantastic. Eating this meal

i drew this in a fit of rage and passion after reading too many posts in which lava and lostshippers both lost their minds at each other (ignore the fucked up speech bubbles)((i havent drawn in one thousand years pls forgive me))

i think they hold hands in a little triangle

I love when I check the ninjago wiki to double check that I’m correct about something before Info dumping to my friend about it and discovering new information that I cannot for the love of me find where it came from.

Like what do you mean ronin is the one who sold Zane to Chen? I mean it checks out but when was this said?? Am I just forgetting a line of dialogue or something?? What??

Growing pains (bug kai one shot)

Tw: blood, body horror, body horror

Uhhh idk where in dragons rising this takes place so just plop it in whatever spot makes sense to you

—————

Kais middle name may as well be repression with how well he was keeping up apparenences. No one knew about his time in the land of monsters, no one even knew he’d been there.

But there were some.. side effects to his time there that couldn’t be shoved down.

Which is why when he began to feel that sharp pressure in his back he nearly leaped out of bed and snuck to the nearest bathroom, tearing his shirt off in hopes it wouldn’t get ruined. Pepping the first aid kit and as many bandages as he could find before crawling into the tub for easy clean up.

It did t take long for the pressure to become unbearable. He grabbed a clean was cloth and shoved it into his mouth. The fabric tasted awful but it was his best bet at keeping this all a secret

Kai gritted his teeth as it began, grasping and clawing at the edge of the tub. warm crimson dripped down his back filling the air with a metallic stench as a pair of forcipules tore their way though layers of fat, muscle, and skin. It took everything in him to bite down on cloth he’d grabbed and not scream his lungs out.

He didn’t want to wake anyone. Hell. He didn’t want anyone to know about this. Not yet. He wasn’t.. he wasn’t ready for that.

He’d rather suffer in silence then risk any of them finding out what had happened.. what he’d become

Kai gagged and gasped and the squelchy ripping sound coming from his waist, his mandibles extending and releasing the cloth. He reached for it, only to fall back into the tub as the twin to his new limb followed suit, causing the master of fire to writhe and squirm in pain, his vision going white as a scream tore its way through his throat despite his best efforts to keep this whole ordeal under wraps

His mind dizzied and body nearly imoblized by the pain he did the only thing he could think to do with his pityful rag just out of reach and not down on his hand to muffle what he could, praying to the first master that no one had heard him, or at least brushed it off when it seemingly stopped.

Kai whimpered against his wrist. Squeezing his eyes tight. Hoping this time he’d just wake up. It wouldn’t be real, he’d wake up and his body would be normal again.

He HATED this new.. form.

His torso being slightly elongated and segmented every few inches, with each section slowly gaining its own pair of forcibles. His mouth being able to just.. open like that. Having to be constantly awear of how he was holding his jaw so as not the let it just open like a tarp and let the cat out of the bag.

He already felt like a monster. He didn’t need everyone else seeing just how much of one he was becoming.

His eyes began to well up before soft knock on bathroom door shook him from his thoughts

“Is. Everything alright..?” Zane asked gently

Fuck.

Someone HAD heard

Kai took a deep breath. Unsure if he trusted his voice to stay stable with the throbbing in his back. “ I’m. Fine” he managed. “Leg cramp.” That. That was a reasonable excuse for screaming at what.. nearly 3 in the morning?

“Kai. I heard that scream. I can smell the blood from here. I know you are injured. Please let me help.. I am worried..”

Kai whimpered, his mind was starting to get hazy from the blood loss. He was in no condition to stop the bleeding himself let alone clean and bandage the wounds . at this rate if he didn’t accept help.. it wouldn’t end well

“Don’t. Freak out. Ok?” He gulped, trying to force himself to sit up only to wince and give up

“I promise not to freak out.” Zane assured him

Kai wasn’t sure if that was possible given how the tub and what remained of his pajamas were soaked in fresh blood and he was slowly turning into a fucking centipede person.

He let out a shakey breath “ok.”

The door knob turned slowly, the door creaked. Zane poked his head in, his eyes widening as he saw Kai “first master..”

Kai frowned, instinctively curling up in an attempt to hide himself “promised..” he said weakly

Zane’s expression softened, grabbing the first aid kit kai had prepared before kneeling in front of the tub “it’s going to be ok Kai.”

Kai nodded. Trying not to waste his energy on a response.

Zane quickly got to work, helping Kai shift positions so his back faced the former and allowed him to apply pressure to the wounds in an attempt to stop the bleeding.

Kai tried his best to stay still, but there was no pain like this. He flinched and squirmed from Zane’s hands dispite being so very gently. “Ive got you kai, yoh are going to be ok.”

Kai almost believed him.

Almost.

Sure he wasn’t going to die from blood loss now, but once one person knew it was only a matter of time before everyone in the monastery knew he’d become a fucked up creature .

Zane hummed softly, trying to calm the fire starter who’d started to cauterize his wounds as his powers manifested his anxiety into something more physical “almost done..” he said softly

Kai nodded. Not having the strength to give a verbal reply

Zane wrapped the bandages around kais torso. Trying to push the questions from his mind. Kai was in no state to answer them.. and the master of ice had a hunch he wouldn’t want to either way. “There.. now. Let’s get you to the infirmary. You likely need a transfusion with as much blood as you’ve lost..”

“Can’t.. move” Kai forced out

“You do not need to. Just, try to stay awake for me, ok?”

Kai nodded, and with that zane gently wrapped his arms around the shorter boy, taking great care to avoid touching his back, and carefully pick him up.

Dispite the pain he was in kai couldn’t help but lean into Zane. He was so tired of hidding it all.. maybe now.. that could come to an end..? It sort of had to. Didnt it

Zane carried the injured fire master to the infirmary, carefully setting him down in a way that was likely to cause the least amount of pain before quickly looking through their supplies to grab what he could.

Kai was pale, but not deathly so. He was going to be ok.. Zane had gotten there in time.. and thank the first master he did.

[I am not a medical professional so I am skipping the actual medical part, sorry folks it’s 3:30 am i am not researching it rn]

Zane melted into the chair next to Kai’s hospital bed with a sigh. His color was starting to return to normal and he seemed to be getting some of his strength back. “..I. Must admit I’m rather confused about what happened.”

Kai looked away from him, picking at the edge of his nails “it’s. Along story. I don’t think I have the energy to get into it..l

“Thats.. understandable..

“…are you going to tell the others…?”

“I.. I can’t lie to them about you being injured. But, if you want me to… avoid what your ..condition is..”

“No its. It’s fine.. but let me tell em.. please? Just. Cole, Lloyd, Nya, and pix. You’re the only ones that need to know right now.”

Zane nodded “of course. It is your choice kai.”

Kai gave a weak smile, “thanks tin can.”

I come home and everyone’s freaking out about leaks wtf happened 😭😭

Lost and found, arc 1: buried treasure

Part 3: comic relief

(Previous---Next) (Masterpost)

“Find anything yet?” Geo called from the rookery doorway, watching as Lloyd dug through the most recent pile of lost items, sometimes people lost some really cool shit, and it’s not like they could just let it sit there and rot! That would just be wasteful. So they took what they could find and did what they could with it.

Geo had taken to using his fusion power to create sculptures that Lloyd… didn’t get.

“No, not yet” Lloyd sighed

He HAD adjusted to life in the lost pretty quickly. He’d been there for about two years now, and it turned out, living in the land of the lost wasn’t actually that much different from his life on the streets of ninjago . Only this way he didn’t have to worry nearly as much. Geo had a garden so they had plenty of food, they never had to worry about money. they’d made Lloyd a lair (no geo it’s not JUST his room. All decent villains had an evil lair) and that had been pretty fun.

He’d even found a toy bow, it was pretty fun to knock cans off of stuff. He was getting pretty good at it too! He’d be a master archer in no time.

But., if he was being honest. There were things he’d missed, like traveling all over! No rules and no destination, just him and the road. And it was. Kind of lonely. Ninjago was filled with so many people.. sure there was geo but..there's only so many times he can prank the same person with the same thing before it gets boring. He wished he could still go to the arcade, or win cool merch by nerding out at doomsday comix. But things were still good here. He had plenty of time to plot his takeover of ninjago! Especially considering he… couldn’t leave. Leaving was the first step to taking over.

A geyser sputtered, Lloyd snapped from his schemes of world domination and home sickness (could you be sick for a home you didn’t have?) as his head whipped around to try and figure out where it would be (and hoping it wasn’t under him) before the ground bursted open in a flurry of paper and plastic, a slim volume landed at Lloyd’s feet “no WAY!!” He exclaimed with a grin, picking up the comic (still in its plastic sleeve) “FRITZ DONAGAN!!”

“Fritz what-a-gone?” Geo asked, tilting his head as he came over

“Fritz donagon!! He’s this EPIC explorer that’s like mega cool! He’s been to space and all over the world!! There was even an issue where he explored the depths of the sea using this special scuba diving suit that let him breath underwater!!” Lloyd explained, his grin widening as he flipped wildly though the pages “woah- this issue it’s. This is one of the orginal runs!! It’s like- IMPOSSIBLE to find!! Oh man whoever lost this is gonna FREAK when they realize it’s gone” he snickered, not caring about the potentially distraught owner who had no knowledge of the relocation of their precious trove.

Geo frowned as he looked at the pile of comics and toys. “What about the rest of these..?”

“Hm..” Lloyd hummed, shutting his comic and examining the pile “it’s mostly collectors stuff.. I guess someone’s mom cleared out the attic or something..?” His mind wondered to Rufus, the owner of doomsday comix. It had been a shelter for Lloyd before he got lost. A safe, warm place he could hang out for hours. Rufus had always prided himself on his collection.. some of this looked like his stuff. But. It couldn’t be. He’d never just abandon his stuff like that.. not stuff like this at least.

Everything was in mint condition. Definitely from a collector.. just. Couldn’t have been Rufus. The only way Rufus would’ve lost this stuff was if.. if something really bad happened. Lloyd’s smile faltered.

He shook the thought from his head, Rufus would be fine. He WAS fine. He had to be. “I’m. Going to gather these up. See if I can put the comics in order! You can read em when I’m done, if you want” he smiled at geo who just. Blinked.

“Im.. not sure I’d enjoy them.” The purple teen rubbed his neck

“Oh come on at least give them a chance!!” Lloyd insisted “look this one’s really good I swear!! It’s like, my favorite issue ever” he held up another comic

Geo sighed as his ears flicked and turned downward “I appreciate the thought Lloyd but I. I can’t.”

This time, Lloyd blinked at his friend. Putting the pieces together, geo had been here since he was young, REALLY young. Younger then Lloyd had been… ‘I can’t’

“Oh… OH!” The realization hit Lloyd like a brick in the stomach “well uh. What if.. what if I read it TO you! I can do funny voices and everything!!”

Goes ears perked up “that. That might be ok,” he gave a small smile “I uh. I’d be willing to give it a shot if you're doing funny voices.”

Lloyd grinned at him, gathering up as many comics as his preteen arms could hold “well come on then! Adventure awaits!” the plastic sleeves crinkled as he put them into a near by tattered backpack, slinging the remaining strap on his shoulder. The young terror held his hand out to geo, who took it with an small smile of thanks as the blond walked them off to his the totally secret entrance of his lair, a car that had fallen near months after Lloyd himself.

Lloyd pried open the door, crawling through the back seat into a carefully arranged metal igloo of sorts. A pile of blankets and pillows to the left, an assortment of “scheming materials” to the right.

The pair settled into the pile of soft fabric Lloyd called a bed, opening the first volume. The younger pushed his hair out of his face, clearing his throat “fear? Fear isn’t a word where I come from!”

YES. Correct. You get it

Thinkin about my sleepy ninjago hc post and ive decided actually wu and garmadon ALSO subconsciously make nests bc they’re part dragon. Wu’s better at making himself seem more human so his nests aren’t as obvious but they are there

Garmadon kinda. Stopped giving a fuck about how human he seemed as his corruption got worse, so his bed was more nest then mattress (misako just went with it bc she love her hubby 🥰 and woo nest cuddles are even more cozy)

Wait omg little wu and garmadon making pillow fort nest combos together (lloyd making one too when he moves into the bounty and wu gets all sentimental and everyone’s like ???? But he’s like 🥰)
