Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
an underwordly visit for the wip thing?
An unfinished fic written from pre-pilot Garmadon's pov (after he was banished, of course) and it's just him having a seemingly normal day in the Underworld only for a portal to suddenly open up and spit out two unconscious strangers at his feet.
....yeah. 😅
One of them is none other than our resident Green Ninja — who Garmadon suspects is a student his brother recruited and sent to the Underworld to challenge him, while the other one is a girl around the Green Ninja's age with the most bleached pinned up hair he's ever seen in his life.
And on top of that, there's also something else lying on the ground; an Oni Mask.
So Garm does the obvious. He snaps at the Skulkin to shove these two in a cage and takes the mask for himself to examine it — it's definitely an Oni mask, alright, but how the heck did these two have it?
Some time passes, and he receives news that one of the prisoners has awakened. Hearing this, Garm wastes no time making his way to the Underworld dungeons, and sees the conscious one is none other than the Green Ninja.
Upon seeing him, Lloyd's eyes go wide. Garm is highly confused at this, and just when he is about to make a sarcastic remark about trespassing, Lloyd calls him Father. That completely takes the King of Shadows by surprise, but it doesn't last long, because the next thing that happens is that Garmadon immediately slaps him.
Garm then starts snarling at him for stooping low enough to masquerade as his son, because 1) he hasn't been banished long enough for him to suddenly have an almost adult son and 2) last time he checked, Lloyd had red eyes, not green. It's only then that Lloyd realizes that he time-traveled.
Unfortunately, when he starts asking Garm what year it is, Garm's only thought is that this ninja's screwing with him — which really pisses off our Dark Lord, by the way. After a while, Lloyd starts getting frustrated himself and Harumi wakes up. Garm's just about to snark something at her as well but goes silent once he sees her reaction to him. She looks excited, as though she's just met her idol. Lloyd gets really irritated seeing this and these two get into an argument with Garmadon confusedly watching.
Inside the cage, Lloyd's basically just putting all the blame on Harumi by accusingly saying that she definitely did something with the mask, and now it's her fault his own father doesn't want to believe he's his son. Harumi's just unfazed at this — because technically, she got to meet Garmadon. This infuriates Lloyd even more, and soon, there's nothing other than yelling coming from the cage.
This goes on until Garm himself steps in and barks at them both to stop. The two go silent — which is an absolute relief to Garmadon's eardrums (who can blame him?). Then, he starts asking who they are, and why they have the mask. Lloyd opens his mouth to once again say he's his son only for Harumi to cut him off by saying who she is.
...and after that, I don't know what to add lol.
This one is one of those time-travel fics I promised I would chuck in the No Parties To Crash So Why Not The Past series — but obviously, there's only one fic currently in that thing — so yeah, this one's still depressingly unfinished at that moment.
