Lloyd was once again awoken by the sound of his cell door opening. He opened his eyes to see both of his sons Ren and Len there. They hauled him to his feet and pushed him out the door.
"So what's happening?" Lloyd asks
"Our mother the empress wants to make a deal" Ren replies coldly
"you really do take after your mother" Lloyd says
"be quiet!" Ren orders
Lloyd sighed and kept on walking with them. They entered the throne room and he was once again on his knees in front of his future wife.
"Morning dear" Lloyd said
"Shut it!" Ren shouted
"She's still my wife whether she's older or younger" Lloyd shrugs
"Dad please stop" Len whispers to him
"Silence all of you!" Aria shouts
They all look up at Aria.
"Now if you really expect me to believe you're really Lloyd then as my husband you'd side with me naturally, so I'll let you go but you have to bring me the heads of the rebel group" Aria says "do we have a deal?"
Len gasps "but mother-"
"shh Len" Aria said gently "now do we have a deal?"
Lloyd thought for a minute before looking up at her "yes, I'll defeat the rebels to prove to you I'm your Lloyd, but then you have to help me get back to my time"
"Alright" Aria smirked "untie him"
Ren sighed in annoyance "too easy"
They untied Lloyd and he stood up.
"Do I get anything to help me?" Lloyd asks
"My husband Lloyd is the green ninja, if you are him you wouldn't need anything" Aria replied narrowing her eyes
"and I am the green ninja" Lloyd says
"you have 5 days to return, if not then I'll end all this myself by setting Ninjago city on fire" Aria's eyes glowed purple "my hellfire will burn everyone and everything, rebel or not"
"You'd kill innocent people just to stop them!" Lloyd shouts "My Aria wouldn't do that"
"Then I guess you don't know me that well" Aria says as her eyes returned back to normal "get going"
"Mother" Len stepped up "I would like to go with him"
"Why?" Aria asks
Lloyd noticed Aria's gaze soften, she might be evil now but her sons are important to her.
"You know, make sure he doesn't double-cross us" Len replies
Aria looked worried "but-"
"I'll go too mother" Ren said "to make sure Len's safe"
"Fine then" Aria sighs "prepare to leave"
-
Aria hugged both her boys before they set off. Ren stood in front of Lloyd while Len stood next to him.
"So do you guys know where the rebel leaders are?" Lloyd asks
"of course" Len and Ren replied
"so why burn the entire city?" Lloyd asks confused
"To get rid of all the rebels" Ren replies like it's the most obvious thing in the world
"That's just wrong" Lloyd said
They've been walking through the forest for about an hour before they heard rustling in the bushes. Ren stopped and looked around.
"Rebels" he says
Once again before he could react Lloyd found himself tied and blindfolded along with his sons.
Lloyd sighs in annoyance "not again"
