“YIELD!”
Cold water stings at the front of Kai’s gi, his ankle sore and swollen. Sand manages to squeeze its way past the small holes in the fabric. It scratches, burning against cuts and bruises, and does not relent.
Neither does Kai.
He braces his hand against a rock outcrop poking out of the water, stretching so far with his other hand his muscles strain and scream at his sides. A hand, nails sharp, digs into his upper back, a few fingers grabbed his hair in a brutal pinch. A knee jabs into his lower back.
“I,” Kai grits out through clenched teeth, reaching for the sword hilt so tantalizingly close, “do not yield.”
His little brother— no, Morro possessing his little brother, his hair black, eyes cold and merciless— tightens his grip. He raises the axe in his free hand.
“Last chance,” Morro snarls. “Your little brother here doesn’t want me to swing, but I’ll do it if I have to, even if he won’t shut up after. Yield, or die.”
The tips of Kai’s fingers brush the sword hilt, pushing it ever so slightly further from his grasp. He closes one eye and strains so far something in his side seems to rip.
“Go... to the ducking Cursed Realm.”
Morro’s eyes narrow. “I’ve been there. You’ll enjoy it.”
The axe rises above his head, blade a glinting guillotine. Kai’s head is pushed to the rock like a butcher’s cutting board. Fog settles around them, the air dense as the whole world holds its breath.
“So long, fire ninja.”
The axe swings down—
—only to meet the blade of a weapon, Kai holding the Sword Sanctuary above his head. He catches a glimpse of a vision of Morro pulling his knee back to kick his ribs in along the glimmering metal and rolls just as Morro lifts the pressure from his lower back. Water splashes out of his way as he frees himself, pushing himself to one knee.
His eyes narrow. “You give my brother back.”
Morro laughs. “Or what? You’re alone, injured, surrounded by water— you have no hope. Give up and die with honour.”
Fog seems to hiss from Kai’s mouth. No— the faint wisps of white smoke, like an extinguished candle.
But it isn’t Kai’s candle of life that’s been extinguished. Small sparks of embers snap at the hilt of his sword, burning brighter and brighter. The tips of his hair turn to flames, hands ablaze, eyes glowing pools of bonfires.
The flickering embers transform into a fiery dragon behind him, sizzling steam rising from where it’s claws touch the shallow water.
“Give up?” Kai snarls, and the dragon snarls with him. “I’ll never give up on my little brother.”
And he leaps into battle, fire snapping around him as it crashes into the furious storm, sword against axe, flames against wind, brother against brother, protector against ghost.

I wrote a short thing for this amazing drawing, hope it’s good!

literally a scene that never happened in the series, but let me dream.
ALL RIGHT NINJAGO FANS, OUR FAVOURITE BROTHERS ARE ON THIS, WE GOT TO MAKE SURE THEY GET FAR! THEY GOT SPOT 24, LET’S GET THEM PAST THE FIRST ROUND
The Official Lineup is Here!
I just finished tallying everything up. The way they are listed here likely won’t be the way they’re put into the bracket. The current order is based on how many nominations they received exclusively. No pair with under 5 nominations made it into the bracket. I’ll probably create an underdogs bracket with the remaining contestants later.
Here it is!

The next step is getting them all into the bracket in a way that’s balanced. That might take a little while, but I’ll do my best.
ALRIGHT NINJAGO FANS, THIS IS THE MOMENT WE'VE UNITED FOR - RG SIB NINJAGO SWEEP LET'S GO

Ninjago Magazine Comics Translated Issue 85 - The Sea Monster
Hey everyone! If you didn't know, Blue Ocean has a variety of non-canon Ninjago comics (minus one canon comic ft. the story of Lilly) in magazines. They're fun extra stories that happen between scenes or episodes of the show; but some of my favourites, like the one below, are between seasons. This one is Post Seabound. You can sometimes find these magazines in English, but they tend to be pretty rare depending on the area. They are, however, very popular in Europe, especially Germany, which is where I got my collection. As I'm bilingual in German, I've translated the comic below, trying to keep it as direct as possible while still making sense in English. Let me know if y'all enjoy it and if there's any issues in particular you want to see translated (I don't have every issue, but I have a fair bit from newer seasons and a few of older seasons).












The list of other translated comics (if I ever translate more) will be found here
Issue 98 (Post-Crystalized) -- The Kidnapping
Ninjago Magazine Comics Translated Issue 98 - The Kidnapping
If you didn't know, Blue Ocean has a variety of non-canon Ninjago comic magazines. I'm working on translating a few of my favourites from German to English for you all to enjoy (see Issue 85, the first one I translated, for more details). This story is post-Crystalized. Your tags and reactions to my first translation gave me motivation to translate more, and I'm glad people are enjoying them! If there's any in particular you want to see, let me know and I'll see if I have it.

Akjdjffnjg Lloyd headcanons dump
-Ar
omg..... I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS AHAHAHAHAHH
!! lloyd head canons !!
>:)
-He has bad vision from Misako, but he tended to wear contacts more
-His natural eye color is red but between season 7 and 8 he became more connected with his powers so that's why he has green ninjas from there on out
-He has cat like eyes
-speaking of cats he loves cats! Theyre his second favorite animal, dragons soming in at first.
-hes very short, like 5'1-5'4... Yeah very smol
-He's cold blooded because of his oni/dragons genes
-Has autism and dyslexia
-Can use both hands(I forgot what it's called- but like idk 😭)
-Is scared of lightning
-When him and Brad were kids at darklys, they didn't know what being gag was, but they had kissed a few times. But they didn't think anything of it
-He likes to cuddle
Here's some angsty ones too <3
so tw for people who are sensitive to dark topics
~Use to do self harm
~Was abused at darklys
~He often has nightmares about past trauma and has to sleep with someone.
~He's scared of the wind because of Morro
~also because of trauma purposes he carries a after bottle with him everywhere bc water is the only thing that kills a ghost
~feels sick whenever he smells roses because that's the fregrenese(?) that harumi used
Thinking about two Lloyd Dr aus rn
1. Is like a mercenary/bounty hunter(though he refuses to hunt dragons and oni) instead of staying at the monastery, because he needs money to buy food and supplies. So he starts doing bounty and/or letting people hire him. Though he doesn’t do jobs that kill people and/pr creatures at first, but over time he slowly starts taking them. But he only kills people who he thinks deserve it, so he’s a relatively good guy. He also doesn’t take jobs from clearly bad people, and doesn’t go through with a job once he realizes the person who hired him is bad.
But he still ends up finding Arin and Sora(and Ryu), and becomes their dad :). But oh no, he finds the ninja. And they aren’t supportive of the whole job, so that’s a big plot point. Oh and maybe Imperial (or however you spell it) try and hire Lloyd, another plot point. Arin and Soea get nervous thinking he’ll accept. Blah blah angst
He also looks like a bad ass, has horns because yes. Though his long hair hides it, because coolness. The kiddos love putting his hair up to reveal his horns and side shave. Oh, he also has dragon features like ears and a tail that he hides.(Fun fact: I gc them as dark green and black because his oni side is gold and purple. And I want them to be opposites but also really not)
Also the reason to me why he could not stay the monastery despite still being dumped there, is because he is traumatized. He doesn’t want to be in the place where he lived with his family. Because honestly, he doesn’t even know if they’re alive. And that thought alone convinced him to find somewhere else, now he didn’t settle far. In cause he did find the Ninja, but he hadn’t touch the place since he packed up his things and left. Just random check up’s to make sure no one tried to stay there. (This is just my hc for this au, you can have a different reason or him just not landing there at all. I honestly don’t mind if you don’t like the reason and go for something else, whatever you feel is right)
2. Is like an au where the events of the merge happen a lot sooner, and at the end of crystallized I hc Lloyd as 16(which is says on the fandom wiki but idk if that’s cannon or not). So instead of being in his early 20s Lloyd is like 14.
Because this happens before seabond, so Lloyd is 14. And trying to navigate the world(now to make this au line up, Arin and Sora are gonna be a bit older than they would be. So like 8-10)
And now Lloyd is a dad with two kids and a baby dragon, he has no idea what to do. And is on the verge of a meltdown 24/7 like dr Lloyd is.
Oh and he hasn’t unlocked his oni powers yet cause of the timeline, so angst anyone??
There’s my aus, do what you will with this lol
And have fun out there! Oh and I would love if someone would rope in Greenflower/Forgiven Shipping in to these aus, I don’t feel like it cause I gtg write chp. 2 of my Greenflower fanfic. Which is based off a ninjago hc post I saw lol
Anyways have fun! And be safe with these traumatized kiddos
Hello is me again :)
I’m back with the Mercenary Lloyd au! But a drawing this time!
This isn’t the canon look of him, but the closest I could get to my head

The hair is meant to be a lot fluffier, ignore the eyeliner too. And the front part of the hair-
Basically ignore the whole thing and just take it as a loose interpretation of what he’s meant to look like. I like him having piercings tho
Also yes he has dragon ears, you can’t stop me!(this is in pencil so I didn’t add this detail, but his roots are brown :>)
