Aria is the purple ninja. Her training was going great until her sensei decided to get together a team of ninja. The other Ninja become her family. They discover the green ninja is Lloyd and defend Ninjago the best they can. She learns everyone can...
This is always one of my favorite chapters to write.
The Destiny's Bounty flies over Jamanakai Village, Lloyd was watching some kids play ball, sadly.
"What's wrong Lloyd?" Cole asked
"Well it's just that I have to train, I can't play with other kids or enjoy my childhood" Lloyd replied
"You have a greater responsibility then them" Zane said
"As ninja we all had to give up something in order to be here" Aria explained
"Yeah I know, I just wish I could still be a kid" Lloyd sighed
"stop whining Lloyd, I had to give up my childhood for this too" Aria said sternly
"yeah yeah" Lloyd said looking away
"Lord Garmadon has been spotted at the Museum" Nya tells them
"Aria stay here with Lloyd" Cole said
"What, why?" Aria asked
"You're powers are starting to show so it's too dangerous for you to go out when you can't control them" Jay explained
"Sorry kiddo" Kai said patting her head before they left
"I'm too old for comics, but too young to fight" Lloyd complains and Aria rolled her eyes
"Come on pint size, show me what you got" Nya said and Lloyd yawned
After awhile Master Wu and Nya, worried that the Ninja haven't returned yet they leave Lloyd and Aria behind to go search for them.
Aria sat on the couch to read as Lloyd sat next to her to play video games. After a bit the phone rings. Lloyd paused his game and picked it up.
"yeah?" Lloyd questioned as he picked it up
"Lloyd? Where's master Wu or Nya?" He heard Jay's voice asked
"Out looking for you, they're not here, only me and Aria are" Lloyd replied
"ok meet us at the pizza parlor and bring our weapons, since we can't ride the bus without an adult" Jay said and hung up
"Come Aria" Lloyd said confused as he grabbed the ninjas weapons, Aria closed her book and questionably followed LLoyd
They quickly arrived to see the ninja all as little kids.
"You're all so cute" Aria said squealing a bit and Lloyd laughed
Kai informs the two of the situation and the group wonders what they should do about the Grundle. Lloyd, knowing exactly who would be the most knowledgeable on the creature, brings them to a comic book store.
"Lloyd this is not the time for games" Kai said
"Sh" Aria said following Lloyd into the store
"guys this is Rufus MacAllister aka mother doomsday" Lloyd introduced them
"Lloyd Garmadon and Aria, it's been awhile, what brings you two here?" He asked
"What would work against a Grundle attack?" Aria questioned
"well the Illuma-Swords would work well, since the Grundle is nocturnal" he replied
"Great we'll take them" Jay said
"not so fast, we only give them out as a prize for winning the comic book trivia competition" Mother Doomsday said
"Leave it to me" Lloyd said
"sorry greanie, but leave the geek stuff to the professionals" Aria said
Lloyd leaves a message for Master Wu and Nya back at the Destiny's Bounty, quickly telling them of what happened and their current location. Aria was tied for first, they were on the final question.
"How did prince Donigan escape the imperial sluge?" Mother Doomsday asked
"oh man me and Aria didn't read the latest issue yet" Lloyd whispered
"By reversing the polarity of the ship" Aria answered simply
"We have a winner" Mother Doomsday said
"How'd you know we didn't buy it yet?" Lloyd asked
"I do a lot of reading on my spare time, I do a lot of sneaking out" Aria answered
The building started shaking, the lights flashed and turned off. They heard a roar and the Grudle showed up. The 4 Ninja grab the Illuma-Swords to defend against the Grundle, but because they were meant as props they break easily.
Lloyd attempts to take on the monster with his own powers but is quickly knocked aside. Just as the Grundle is about to consume the Ninja, Master Wu and Nya arrive with Tomorrow's Tea, tossing it to them and staying outside.
"Use it to age the creature back into bones, as well as you back into your normal states" Wu explained, the ninja hesitate
"What are you waiting for?" Nya asked
"it would make Lloyd grow older and miss out on the rest of his childhood" Zane said
"We can't do that to you" Jay said
"Aren't you scared?" Kai asked
"Fear, fear is not a word where I come from. Use it" Lloyd said before the Grundle hit it out of the ninja's hands knocking the tea over to Aria
"Aria use it! Please!" Lloyd shouted
Aria quickly threw the tea to the ground covering the entire room.
The Grundle is reduced back to bones and the Ninja are returned to normal, but now Lloyd has become their age as well.
"I'm older" Lloyd said standing up
"The time for the final battle has come closer" Wu said
"oh my god" they heard Aria said, they turned and looked at her
"...well damn" Kai said and got elbowed by Cole

"What, do I look weird?" Aria asked playing with her hair, the ninja all shook their heads fast
"you look great Ari, what about me?" Lloyd asked going over to her
"Perfect as always greenie" Aria replied and Lloyd blushed
"Things are going to be a lot more interesting between those two from now on" Zane observed
