The Last thing Lloyd saw as he travelled Through the absolute Mess that had appeared out of literal thin Air in the Sky with his Friends on the Bounty was a bright flash before everything went completely black.
After what felt like mere seconds, even tho it was probably much longer, Lloyd awoke with a horrible Headache and most of his Limbs aching terribly.
Everything felt... different, the Atmosphere felt much heavier than before, either his senses were tricking him or it was actually heavier, one way or another Lloyd went searching the Monastery for the others, calling out thier Names, checking every single Room and corner, but no one was there.
He was all alone.
There was nobody there.
Lloyd proceeded to wait, trying to keep himself calm by convincing himself that theyd return very soon, just a few more days....
Those Days turned into Weeks and Months without a single sign of his Brothers and Sister returning.
He felt like he was going insane being left completely Alone for that Long, no one being there he can Socialise with, even considering Suicide multiple times, the only thing stopping him from doing it being the thought of his Sister or Brother finding him after.
Over those Weeks he waited he drank maybe every 4 Days and ate just about every 3rd Week, there was no one to remind him to eat and drink Daily and the Stress from waiting just made him forget to eat anything.
Lloyd jumped at any and every creak or noise, hoping that to be the Ninja or just about anyone.
He kept himself busy by just Training in the Training Parkour, sleeping or staring holes into his Walls, he went out to the city like maybe twice but there was nothing going on, like the Merge swept away all the Criminals and Villains out of the usually every-week-attacked City.
After Weeks, Months of waiting, one silent Night while as Lloyd was sitting on the outside Porch, drinking his Weekly Tea, he suddenly spotted the Bounty right infront of the Monastery, neatly parked there.
He immediately dropped his Cup and went straight to the Ship, getting aboard as quick as possible. As he reached the Steering Wheel, he heard a creak from behind him.
Instinctively he instantly whipped around and Spinjitzud to where whoever was, throwing them over the Rails and onto the Deck of the Ship without checking who it even is.
As he charged his Powers to attack the Intruder, whom didnt even try to defend himself, he suddenly recognised the near fully Red Suit, recalling his Powers just last second.
"What the hell Lloyd?!" Kai yelled, uncovering himself and sitting up. "Kai?! Im so sorry- i thought you were an intruder, i havent seen anyone in Months!" Lloyd said apologetically, helping Kai back up.
"I really didnt mean to-" Lloyd couldnt even finish his sentence before Kai just swung himself around him, pulling him into a tight hug, even lifting him up and spinning him in happiness.
"Shut it- Im just sooo happy to see you buddy!!" Kai cut off Lloyd, squeezing him tightly. Lloyd hugged him back after a second of surprise, wrapping his arms tightly around his Neck like a Koala.
Kai set Lloyds feet back on the ground, loosening his grip to leave the Hug, but Lloyd had other Plans. He immediately pulled himself closer again, hanging onto Kai like a Lifeline.
Kai got the Hint, pulling Lloyd back closer again and rubbing his Back gently. As he held Lloyd a sudden thought crossed Kais Mind. 'Wait, Lloyd didnt feel this skinny before-'
Kai suddenly broke the Hug, much to Lloyds dismay, and patted Lloyds side just to make sure his Mind wasnt playing tricks on him, and it wasnt.
"How much did you eat while no one was here?" Kai looked at Lloyd with a stern and somewhat pissed expression. Thats when it dawned on Lloyd, he hadnt eaten anything proper since everyone was gone, just random scraps between weeks of no food at all.
"Uhh..." Lloyd muttered out, tripping and stuttering over his own Words as he lied right through his Teeth. "W-Well i ate.. uhm.. every few d-days-" He said with an awkward smile, hoping that Kai would buy his lazy excuse.
"Lloyd." Kai said with a Stern Tone, not seeming impressed. "M-Maybe every few weeks... A-a bit?" Lloyd forced a smile again, now avoiding Eye contact.
Oh well that did it.
Kai turned around and went into the Ship, Lloyd just looking at him confused, rather expecting to get chewed out. After a minute Kai came back with a Box full of some Fruits hes never seen before.
"What is that?" Lloyd asked curiously as Kai set down the Box infront of him. "Food that youll eat now." Kai replied, crossing his Arms.
