Totally Forgot To Post This Here Too

With the announcement of Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity, all I'm thinking of what they were doing post-merge is

Lloyd: *Is cleaning the monastery*

Nya: *is defending a bunch of rock people*

Jay: *doing paperwork*

Cole: *somehow started a family*

Zane: *is in stasis at the time*

Kai:

kai finally sleeping in his own bed back at the monastery but he can’t actually rest because he was so used to being alert constantly that his body refuses to let him

Peak

Um. The entire trailer is red if you raise the saturation high enough

Like what

Also don't ask me how I found this out. Sometimes ninjago transcends the naked eye

@theyaremanycolors ......

What the shit is wrong with you. What could have possibly possessed you to write this. Why. I was fine a minute ago. My dude. This was extremely uncalled for and honestly I'm offended. All pos but im still really fucking upset you know. Ouchie. That hurt right there in my chest.

Thinking about Kai's fighting style in the realm of monsters, and how creative he had to get whenever he was (on the rare occasions) fighting without Rusty or Daidan to help him.

All of those monsters are impossibly bigger than him, and he needs to use something to hoist himself up in order to actually reach the head and neck. Him using his fire to heat his soles so it sticks to the skin in a mess of boiling flesh. Using daggers to anchor himself repeatedly to go upwards, then finishing it quickly with a slash to the back of the neck and hoping it falls forward instead of backward.

Then when other monsters gather around the new corpse, littered in a linear pattern of scars and burns, all in a line, same as the other few, a rumor spreads among the half sentient monsters.

A giant centipede of fire and steel, some say.

It finds a victim and coils around it, using its hundreds of legs to constrict it before finishing off in one strike, one says in awe.

It never eats it prey, leaving it to rot on the ground instead to show dominance, another says to its mate.

Even with its size, it's never been seen. It burrows underneath the ground, waiting for a chance to burst out and strike, a mother says to its young. Warning.

And the rumor grows, twisting into something more fantastical. Until one day, a lizard made of rotting wood and bone stumbles upon Kai, right on top of another monster, covered in black blood, catching his breath. The lizard scurries to its nest, and the rumor twists into something closer to the truth.

There is no centipede, it screeches. More gather around it.

It's small, and that's its way of trickery. It hides in plain sight, waiting for something to grow confident. To grow complacent and take its size for weakness.

It moves like no other. In flashes of red and orange and waves of blood and muscle. The fire and shadow are fond of this one, always hovering around it. Keeping it unseen.

Its eyes are as hollow as the abysmal ocean, devoid of mercy. Any it sees are guaranteed death, and those it spares are left mangled. Dying of their injuries. It never eats, never takes, only kills in slashes of flame and iron. It was never seen until now, no name it holds either.

After the rumor spreads further, more seeing the nameless monster in person, Kai develops a title. A warning for the ones who know it. There are many, some still calling it the fire centipede, another calling it the killer of giants, but there is one name that has gained popularity. That has made its way into the stories of every mother whispering to their young.

And now, when Kai pulls out his sword in a blaze of yellow and red, he finds that some scurry away. Screeching something he swore he could make out.

Fire Demon, they scream in fear, running off. Fire Demon, they cry out, warning others. Fire Demon, they think in horror, as none have survived it.

Fire Demon.

Cooking up something I'm actually proud of

Happy monstrosity is Grey scale because I ain't coloring allat

This is what happened I was the mergequake

WORDS CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS IMAGE AUAHGHDHGHVHVHTHEH I LOVE THEMMSO MUCH HTEY'RE LITERALSKY THGE SIBLIGNSN EVER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Eyyyy let's go I was half right

Kinda hoping for the arin confrontation to be a realistic and slow process instead of a quick "It's okay not to have Elemental powers you're just as good as the rest of us!!!!!!" Between Lloyd and arin, because the writers have done such a good job at emotional scenes so far.

hoping to have some big bro kai scenes too. Because arin, sora, and Wyldfyre are so similar to kai in regards to their own self worth and how they view their contributions to their team

Arin feels useless because of his lack of elemental power and wanting to grow stronger through not so peaceful means? Kai's whole green ninja spiel and the entirety of the tournament of elements.

Sora feels guilty about arin and feels as if she's only gotten this far because of her Elemental tech? S11, S12, S13, Powers stolen, Powers Lost, Powers negated by Vengstone.

Wyldfyre? Just look at her. Look at kai. She's basically a carbon copy

Conclusion,

Kai best dad, also they all need group therapy

If I had a penny everytime a character had to go through horrors and killing monsters while slowly losing themselves and also telling themselves that they HAVE to lose themselves in order to get home to their loved ones, I would have two pennies.

Ody: so, you went through hell and back to return to your family while finding allies along the way who told you to be crueler in order to survive?

Kai: Yeah. You too?

Ody: yup.
