Lloyd Garmadon - Ninjago

Personality:   On the roof of the train, Lloyd asks Arin and Sora about the 'ninja' on the bridge, with the two explaining that he saw Arin. While bewildered at how Arin knew Spinjitzu, a Claw Hunter takes Lloyd by surprise and knocks him into their compartment. While fighting the hunter, Lloyd has him slice the two teens' cuffs with his sword before knocking him out. Snapshot 491 Arin and Sora meeting Lloyd Getting on the rooftop, Lloyd tells Arin and Sora to jump, but they didn't want to leave the baby dragon behind. As they were about to search for him, Rapton and some hunters corner them and attack. Sora tries to use her newly acquired Technology powers, but is unable to summon them. While Lloyd and Sora hold off the guards, Arin takes off to rescue the dragon, who transfers power to Sora. Not having full control over her powers yet, Sora accidentally turns the Claw Hunters' swords into bombs. The trio jump off the train as they explode. Lloyd is still bewildered by Arin and Sora's abilities. Their conversation is interrupted when the dragon uses some nearby debris to form a sculpture of three mountains, indicating where his home is. Lloyd brings Arin, Sora and the dragon to the Monastery of Spinjitzu, with Arin in particular being excited to be there. Lloyd looks through papers that were sent by Kai, who was exploring the newly merged realm. He finds a drawing similar to the dragon's sculpture and is able to map out where it is. Since the old Bounty is being used, the group must use the new Bounty, but it isn't fully finished. Sora volunteers to fix the ship up and prompts the dragon to give her a boost. Not sensing any immediate danger, the dragon doesn't respond. Snapshot 521 Arin and Lloyd make small talk. Sora takes to fixing it normally while Lloyd and Arin wait, the latter saying Sora is a better at humming than at singing and how they met before expressing his belief about the ninja and his parents being lost in the Merge. Lloyd immediately started to explain what happened to him the day of the Merge. Master Wu asked Lloyd to find scrolls about "the Coalescence", seeming distressed about something. Lloyd is about to leave, when Wu tells him that he hopes he'll do a good job when he becomes the new master of the monastary. That's when the Merge began to happen. After doing damage control and saving the people, including Arin himself, from being swept into the storm, the Ninja headed for the storm itself before it closed in on it itself and exploded. Lloyd woke up back at the Monastery alone, the building itself being moved far from Ninjago and placed on top of a large mountain peak. Lloyd tried looking through Wu's scrolls, but most were destroyed aside from one talking about entities known as Source Dragons, which were said to have some involvement in the Merge. Lloyd spent weeks alone, only for Kai to return on the Bounty. Snapshot 540 Lloyd and Kai shut down a MergeQuake. Just as they were reuniting, another crack in reality opened nearby. These cracks were unstable spaces where multiple realities were trying to occupy the same area. Lloyd and Kai used their elemental powers to close the hole. Knowing they needed answers with the scrolls destroyed, Kai decided to go out and explore the realms, potentially finding the other ninja in the process. Lloyd chose to stay behind and keep what was left of Ninjago safe, leading to him going to the Crossroads and seeing Arin on the bridge. Back in the present, Sora finishes the final touches on the new Bounty and the group sets off. Eventually, they arrive at their destination, only to be ambushed by the Claws of Imperium, who had been following them in secret. The hunters do heavy damage to the ship causing it to fall. Just as it’s about to crash into a nearby mountain, a dragon picks it up and places it on solid land. The dragon, speaking in human language, tries to take the dragon back, believing Lloyd, Arin and Sora to be enemies. Snapshot 551 The Ninja speaking with Riyu's Matriarch The dragon's name is revealed to be Riyu. Lloyd tries to resolve the issue diplomatically, wanting to prove to the dragon that they are allies. The Claws of Imperium swoop in, and capture the dragon, who is stated to be the Matriarch. The trio go into action, fending off the hunters. Ultimately, the Matriarch has to put trust in Lloyd, lending him some of her power. Lloyd uses his power boost to scare the hunters into retreating. The Matriarch expresses how she felt a connection between herself and Lloyd, indicating a further connection between Source Dragons and Elemental Masters. The two parties agree on having to adapt to their newly merged world and change it for the better. Lloyd also decides to fully take Arin and Sora under his wing. Snapshot 560 Arin and Sora say their goodbyes to Riyu. Arin and Sora say goodbye to Riyu, but the dragon isn't ready to part ways yet. The Matriarch consents to letting Riyu stay with them, also announcing that the herd will need to relocate, and that Riyu can find them if he needs help. The herd and the ninja go their separate ways. In Imperium, Ras reports to Empress Beatrix, with the villainous party now witnessing Lloyd's connection with Riyu's Matriarch, meaning they can now hunt down more Source Dragons' existence. Beatrix goes to meet a Source Dragon, locked away in a giant sphere prison, declaring her goal of capturing all the dragons and having the power to rule over the Merged Realms. The Crossroads Carnival is a fun fair that's held at the Crossroads every year. It consists of many fun activities, like a memorial for the ninja, a pie contest, Dorama's performances, displays and many other activities too. ADVERTISEMENT History Crossroads Carnival Sora and Arin talk about the carnival before their training started. After it was finished, Sora convinced Arin into sneaking out to the Carnival, along with Riyu by disguising him as a dog, where they saw their mech being used as a DJ set, the pie competition that Arin enters his Snowberry Pie in and confronting his rival Grab-Barg, and Lobbo being kidnapped. Later, with help from Lloyd, after saving some Whack Rats from Dorama, who was using their energy to power his pyrotechnics show, they return Kreel's friend, Targle, to her. They return to the pie contest, where Arin was given second place again. But Lloyd, Arin and Sora walk around some more to enjoy the carnival. Lloyd wakes Arin and Sora for their first day of training. Arin begins doing exercises along with Riyu, but Sora complains saying that they should be around people to be ninja, like around the Crossroads for example. Arin sees through this and says Sora just wants to go to the Crossroads Carnival. They talk about it until Lloyd hears them and asks what it's about. Arin and Sora tell him all about it, but Lloyd notes it as a distraction and attempts to start their training by having the training course come out dramatically, but it didn't work due to the gears being old and blocked. Lloyd eventually gets it to work but he then tries to practice Wu's old way of teaching by using tea as a way to time Arin and Sora, though it was burnt. DR ep 3 1 Lloyd drinks and spits out his tea When Sora asked why he was planning to use tea to time them in the first place, Lloyd explained that it was because he wanted to follow in Wu's footsteps. He says he even grew a beard but isn't visible. They finally start their training, with Arin doing decently and Sora struggling. Lloyd closes up the day and the kids sit down in the living room. Sora tries to convince Arin to go, and she succeeds, bringing Riyu along with them in a disguise.
