The Redemption

4

I was at home with my parents reading catching up on Fritz Donagan and the Imperial Sludge. I still loved the series even with my love of Harry Dresden and The Lord of the Rings. Tomorrow I was going to be babysitting Manon, Mari was helping Alya with her little sisters, we'd be meeting up at the amusement park tomorrow because it was a school holiday. Now I'd never been to an amusement park since the only one in Ninjago was Mega Monster Amusement Park and every time the guys had gone I'd either been forced to stay behind on the Bounty or I was being held hostage by the Serpentine. Yup I know once Alya heard this she got furious at the Ninja till I told her about how I behaved at the time. Only then did she calm down a bit.

But back to what I was saying previously. I was reading while Gong having completely recovered was munching on some strawberries from a plant I kept in my room. But my mind was elsewhere mainly my former teammates the ninja. "What's bugging you Lloyd?" Gong asked flying over to me.

"It's the guys they keep saying that they want me back and that I belong with them and a part of me accepts that fact, but another part of me keeps saying that they back stabbed me once what's to say if they won't do it again? I feel as if I'm at a cross roads right now" I told him

"Well for now focus on protecting your miraculous and besides no one really knows anything right away especially in this kind of situation You have your friends, family and team here in Paris that you have been through thick and thin with even when you got possessed by Morro though Alya is still out for blood about that. They stuck with you cause you were they're friend the ninja only seem in my eyes to save you because you are what gives them their powers. Sure  with Ladybug and Chatte you enhance them dramatically, but with the others without you they have nothing no powers zip, zilch, nadda, a big fat goose egg. But if you don't go back to ninjago for them then go back for the other masters who need you just like they do not as a power giver but as a leader" Gong advised, "But it's up to you in the end Lloyd"

I smiled at Gong and scratched the top of his head which despite the scales was actually pretty smooth.  Suddenly my park side window was smashed open by some redish-purple-orangey grimlen of some kind. "What in the name of the first spinjitzu master is that?!" I shouted out confused

it then launched itself at me and out of sheer reflex I kicked it slamming it into my bedroom wall causing it's pin wheeel hat to break making it vanish. Acting quickly I shoved my bookcase against the window to make sure that no more of these things gt into my room. Once I was done I looked at Gong,"Akuma" We both said

"Well what are you waiting for I need to stretch these wings of mine" Gong said flapping his tiny wings on his back causing me to laugh.

"Gong Let's Roar!"I said saying the words after what felt like forever.

Gong flew into my ear cuffs and I was transformed into my Drakon outfit and hair style. I left out the alley side window once my transformation was complete. There was hundreds of these little pests. So armed with the knowledge about the hat I began to destroy each one I came across in order to reduce there numbers.I soon came upon Ladybug and Chatte at a traffic light where one of the menaces were messing around with a traffic signal. "It's Forbidden" Ladybug started to say

"To play around with traffic lights" Chatte said as the menace tipped over only to be caught in the wires 

"Nice of you to show up" I said breaking the hat causing the thing to vanish.

"Where were you?" Ladybug asked

"Other side of town taking care of these things over there till I decided to come and search for you two" I said

"How'd you know to destroy the hat?" Chatte asked

"I found out by accident when one broke the window in my room and I might have broke the hat in the process of getting it out" I explained
