Chapter 3 - Treehouse Madness:

[Theo POV]

After our little tussle with the Ninja me, Lloyd, and of course: The Serpentine followed him and now we are in the forest with the Serpentine constructing a Treehouse with Lloyds grand plan of ruling Ninjago from above, although it is kind of stupid is it not just the childhood imagination we all had at one point; its even strange I still act like the Ninja and not Wu even though i have been alive for decades I still feel like a Teenager fanboying over the universe I somehow found myself into.

"Hey if we plan to rule Ninjago from here, this elevator needs to have a trapdoor, I want more booby traps!" Lloyd commands to General Slithra "As you wish young Garmadon" Slithraa dismisses Skales "As you wish, General" Skales responds.

[Later On]

After I hear Lloyd issuing orders about how big the constructs and traps in the Treehouse should be, I remember in that specific moment the Ninja should be nearby; I cant help the twitch that starts to curl up into a devious smile, boy oh boy I cant resist the urge to fight, but soon enough I know I will later.

After I notice the first two lines of the Treehouse have been cut by the Ninja I see Lloyd nearly falling off the ledge due to the Treehouse going slightly downwards as well as collapsing I quickly use Spinjitzu to grab him before he hits the legs, even though I know he wont fall off.

"Thanks for saving Theo" Lloyd says to me "Anytime Lloyd" but before anything I see Lloyd spot the Ninja up above "I said no Ninja, ATTACK!" Lloyd orders but Skales seems to have other plans "Everyone retreat" Skales issues which the Hypnobrai seem to obey the latter.

During that time I see Skales hypnotize Cole via his link he made at Jamanakai Village but here Lloyd is trying to plead with Skales "Don't go we have to protect my Treehouse Fortress!" Lloyd says worryingly "Your Treehouse? Its about Time we did THIS" Skales responds "Did what?" Lloyd asks confusingly; Skales pulls the lever and we are both dropped into the wooden cage.

The serpentine cheer "Now time to get the staff" Skales states before we head towards the monastery with us being dragged in the cage. "Quick Theo use your powers to get us out of here!" Lloyd says worryingly "I known it seems like I should but trust me we will be better like this for now" I respond with a brightful smile "I hope so" Lloyd responds with a tint of fear and sadness "Hey dont forget you may not have your Father, Mother, or your school, but you still have me anytime" I say to Lloyd "Really?" he asks brightly "Really" I respond confirming with a bright smile which in turn causes Lloyd to become more happy, if only a little bit.

[Later On; Again]

Me and Lloyd are being dragged through the Icy Tomb while tied by ropes "Do something General; your still under my command right?" Lloyd asks hopingly to Slithraa "ENOUGH! I am the General, you will return my staff at once" Slithraa commands "No" Skales blandly responds. "You dare challenge my command?" Slithraa questions "Slither Pit" many Hypnobrai start chanting.

"I guess we will have to fight for it, in the Slither Pit!" Skales issues which causes the Hypnobrai to start cheering. During the fight I see Lloyd trying to grab the map, I use Magic to levitate the map towards Lloyd. "Thanks Theo" Lloyd says "Go General go!" Lloyd tries to redirect suspicion off of us (if there was any) after Skales defeats Slithraa he uses the staff to enact some type of Serpentine Magic which grants Skales a long tale, and Slithraa common legs and during this the Hypnobrai ar chanting 'Skales'; "You will be loyal to me now" Skales commands "I will do as you command" Slithraa responds "You two, leave and never return!" and just like that we are thrown out of the Hypnobrai Tomb.

We then walk for a while through the desert to find the Ninja celebrating finding a new home and I find Lloyd watching them envying their 'family' something Lloyd never truly had "Its okay, like I said you still have me" I say to Lloyd "Thanks Theo but im fine, lets just release the Fangpyre" Lloyd responds; despite this I know Lloyd is struggling and he didnt have a lot of help to get on the path he is later on, which is why I will stay by his side like a brother.
