Chapter 2 - Beginnings:

[Theo POV]

I am Theo, I was once named [???] in my old life, while on my time on Earth where I was a HUGE ninjago fan; it was essentially my entire childhood, however on one fateful night I was hit by a truck and boy oh boy did I get my wish, but it was a bit stranger than I imagined.

Throughout the many decades that have passed since the time in the first realm, I practiced my powers, learned Oni Magic and since I also read the wiki a lot as well as watching every episode I managed to teach myself other types of Magic.

From what it seems Heat, Shockwave and Fusion existed before the Merge so as well as those 3 I can access any element and essence before the Merge, same as the FSM; I had no interest in stopping the war between the Oni and Dragon let alone interacting with any of them so after a while I left and decided to watch the history of Ninjago all play out. 

I started off looking as the FSM and Nyad, the first master of Water use their power to take down the Sea Serpent Wojire, and from that battle I managed to imitate Spinjitzu from the FSM simply by watching and since I had the Golden Power I managed to instantly learn the martial art.

I also watched the brief rise and fall of 'Empress' Aspheera at the hands of the Spinjitzu Brothers, see the Serpentine War and the battle for all of time take place all while staying undetected, and since I had the element of Time myself I used its power to alter my age to around the same as the Ninja, and I altered my appearance to look human and to have black hair similar to Cole's; my original appearance is not that important. 

Basically I just watched the old history of Ninjago without interfering. However, since I am approaching the time near the Ninja I might do a little—

"It is I Lloyd Garmadon, I demand all the candy in town, or else." Ok so thought I had a little while before the start of the main series, but I guess I was wrong and since Lloyd is here in Jamanakai Village that means the events of the pilots have just passed.

I watch as the Ninja take care of Lloyd, and so I have a thought… Since I feel bad for Lloyd I might change the events of the story a little and befriend him so hes not alone at the start of his journey (If I assume he is to go on the same path) Yeah, I like that plan actually.

After the Ninja leave I now make my appearance. "Hey are you alright?" I say as I use my power of Gravity to levitate Lloyd off the buildings ledge and onto the ground.

"Alright? Why yes of course I Lloyd Garmadon son of the great Lord Garmadon am 'alright'; uhh, thanks for the help I guess" Lloyd says. "Hey since you helped me out with your strange power and you seem to respect me, you wanna become my ally and release the serpentine to get revenge on the Ninja?" Lloyd says with a gleaming smile "I would love to" I respond "And by the way Lloyd, my name is Theo" I say to Lloyd. "Thanks for teaming with me Theo" Lloyd responds happily.

[Later On]

"Ugh stupid Ninja, well show them who were dealing with!" Lloyd grumpily states. After that me and Lloyd find the entrance to the Hypnobrai, Lloyd silently pulls the lever and we drop down into the frozen tomb.

"You are out of your mind to venture so far away from home little one" General Slithraa says as he attempts to hypnotize Lloyd "Look into my eyes, give up your mind I will control you" he says as he approaches Lloyd "Uhh, a little help here Theo?" Lloyd looks at me hopingly. "Lloyd duck!" I say and Lloyd ducks causing Slithraa to hypnotize himself.

Lloyd noticing this he takes advantage of this chance. "No, I will control YOU from now on!" Lloyd grins "What shall you have us do master?" Slithraa responds "Us?" Lloyd asks back confusingly; soon the Hyponbrai come out from around the areas of the tomb "My own army of Snakes!" Lloyd goes into his weird evil laugh again.

[Later On; Again]

Me and Lloyd now watch as the Hypnobrai take control over Jamanakai Village. "Woohoo I'm never coming down from this sugar high!" Lloyd proudly states before Kai Jay, Zane and Cole enter the scene, normally I would be fanboying but right now I've decided to help Lloyd and choose a different path than the Ninja. 

"Sorry to bust your buzz little Garmadon" Cole says to Lloyd "But its already past your bedtime" Jay finishes his sentence for him "Get them!" Lloyd says panicky and in turn this causes Slithraa to get involved "Seize them!" Slithraa commands his army.

"The Serpentine, they're real?!" Kai states dumbfounded "Thats not the only thing we have to worry about, the whole village has been hypnotized" Cole says in response; Jay attempts to charge up an attack using the Nunchucks of Lightning but Zane stops him "No, our weapons are still unstable, we could do more harm than good" Zane says to Jay. "Well I guess that just leaves us with RUN!" Jay responds causing all four of them to briefly retreat to the other side of the Jamanakai Village.

After beating up a few Hypnobrai the Ninja go after Lloyd who is now running away with a cart full of Candy "Consider this a warning Ninja" Lloyd says and then does his classical Evil laugh before Zane throws his Shurikens of Ice at the ground causing it to stop the cart.

"Sensei was right, never put off until tomorrow what can be done today, we should have dealt with you first time around" Zane says to Lloyd; I was about to attack Zane but then I remember Lloyd is about to call a retreat. "RETREAT!" Lloyd shouts which in turn causes Slithraa to do the same "RETREAT!" Slithraa repeats which causes all of the Serpentine as well as me and Lloyd to run away.

While Slithraa retreats Cole attacks him and takes his staff "Go on, give me a reason" however due to the situation Slithraa just retreats, but when Cole pulls the staff down he is now face to face with Skales "Look into my eyes, I control you!" "Yo- You control–" Cole is hypnotized by Skales "Cole!" Nya cuts him off before kicking away scales cancelling out his hypnotization, though I know Scale's link with him still remains; I leave before I can hear or see the rest but I know what happens next so it doesn't really matter that much to me.

Even though I could have used my power to effortlessly defeat all of them since I have all elements and essences that existed before the Merge like the FSM which includes Golden Power, Darkness, and all of the secondary elements as well, however since Its too early in the series I will use more of my power later.

Now underground I hear Lloyd groaning "Candy… I need candy" Lloyd says, seeing this I use creation to make a few candy bars and hand them to Lloyd "Woah you can do that?" Lloyd says gleamingly "I can do many things" I respond "Your the best Theo!" My smile brightens just a bit, yes I feel this will be the start of a very good friendship.
