— Skylor has kept in touch with all of the Elemental Masters since Chen’s Island — and she actually gets along with them pretty well. They frequently come over to the restaurant to hang out, hold competitions, and scare customers. Skylor thinks that those days are the best days at the restaurant. She has all their numbers on speed dial.
— Ronin and Dareth come over to the restaurant all the time. Sometimes they help her with business, sometimes for the food. For Dareth, it’s the latter, but Ronin comes because she’s his second-favorite person after Nya. (He would never admit it)
— In a half-angsty half- comedic moment, Skylor and Lloyd created a BAD FAM group chat and added Vania and Benthomarr in the mix. They sincerely hope nobody else joins the chat
— Skylor is 100% able to mop the floor with Kai should she choose. Kai and Zane were on like a recon mission and Sky was training with the rest of the Ninja, kicking butt and taking names.
— It becomes this great secret they’re hiding from Kai (Zane knows through Pixal) and finally the day comes when Kai and Skylor are facing off.
— They’re trash talking flirting and Kai’s all cocky because he knows Sky’s a good fighter, but she’s mostly relied on her powers and it’s been a while since she’s actually fought.
— Kai is on his back in five seconds flat, half turned-on and stunned. The rest of the Ninja are laughing and Cole recorded the whole thing. (Wu’s lips twitch in a smile)
— When Skylor first stepped off the island, the first thing Kai did was take her on a road trip all over Ninjago. Nya got them a rented old car and they spent the whole time traveling the continent and busting crime rings.
— Skylor goes to get her tattoo covered/removed and ends up taking the whole team with her to get tattoos.
— She tells Kai she’s going to get a new tattoo to cover up the Anacondrai Mark (I’m tired of getting pulled over by the cops whenever I wear a tank top, Kai) and of course he goes for support and to get one of his own.
— Lloyd begs to go and get one of his own, and Nya overhears and wants to go to, then Jay and Cole want to join in too.
— So they all go to this tattoo parlor — Zane and Pixal go for support even though they can’t get a tattoo (they’re made of metal) — and get small ones that they can hide from Wu.
— Lloyd gets a green dragon, Cole gets a mountain, Jay and Nya get matching tattoos of lightning hitting waves, and Kai gets a flame.
— Skylor has different types of orange flowers trailing down her back in place of the Anacondrai Mark. Kai and Skylor have their tattoo’s match a little bit, because they’re saps.
— Besides Kai, Cole is the Ninja that most frequently visits Chen’s Noodlehouse. Skylor always gives him free meals, because she’s nice like that.
— Whenever she heads over to the Ninja’s for dinner, she and Zane work together and make the most mouth-watering food. Cole literally hovers in the kitchen watching the food until Zane kicks him out
— Skylor has never seen snow before, and Kai likes watching her when it’s snowing just to see the awe playing in her eyes.
— He frequently bargains with Zane to make it happen, because while the cold isn't his favorite weather, the shine in Skylor's eyes is.Â
— They have snow fights and wrestle each other to the ground, and Kai adores winter Skylor because she acts all playful and childish.Â
— They have their first kiss in the first snowfall of the season. Kai was so into the moment, surprised and flustered and weak-in-the-knees he slipped into an ice patch and fell over.
— When Nya and Skylor first meet it’s interesting.
— While the guys were on the island, they were spamming her with texts of FSM Kai likes a girl!!
— and, Nvm turns out they r related lol
— and, wait they’re not!!!
— and, FSM SHE’S CHEN’S DAUGHTER AND SHE KNOWS WHERE ZANE IS AND NOW WE’RE CAPTURED HELP NYA
— And the final text: Kai’s girlfriend is a snake.
— So Nya didn’t know exactly what to think of Skylor when she first met her, but she knew exactly what she was going to do.
— When she and Jay first got together Kai made the biggest death threats on what would happen if he broke her heart. Jay was so terrified that he refused to be in the same room as Nya for a week after they started dating.
— Nya waited the second Kai was out of the room before she gave Skylor the deadliest death glare she could manage and the most horrifying “you-break-his-heart-and-I’ll- break-your-neck” speech.
— Nya was surprised when Skylor looked extremely guilty after the speech, which made Nya feel extremely guilty once she got the background on what had happened besides Jay’s extremely vague texts.
— The two girls sat down and talked it out and actually became good friends after their therapy session
— Nya of course told Kai that she had given Skylor “The Talk” — to his extreme horror — but she left out all the sensitive details.
— Now, Nya works with the team to “subtly” drop hints about having Skylor as a sister-in-law
— Skylor and Jay teamed up once and got the group to go rollerblading — just to see Kai wobble on skates.
— The two are the best at skates (Pixal and Zane don’t count, they’re good at everything) and were racing each other on the track and pulling the fanciest tricks.
— Skylor and Jay regularly plan to have rollerblading days with the team. Jay has met his match on the rink, and Skylor is always happy to show him how it’s done.
— (She also likes having Kai cling to her when they skate, and she wants to see if he topples over when they kiss)
— You know when Kai gives Lloyd advice about romance? “You have to act cool, like you don’t even care.” Kai cannot take his own advice.
— Whenever he’s with Skylor he absolutely melts. His face gets all red, and his voice gets all soft and warm, and he has to touch her in some way, shape or form — whether its an arm slung around her shoulder, a hand holding hers, a kiss on the lips. He’s a total goner.
— And the advice for Jay asking Nya to be his Yang? “You have to have confidence.” When Kai finally asks Skylor to be his Yang, he is a nervous wreck.
— She still says yes, though
Onto the angst part of Skylor:
— Chen would often pit Clouse and Skylor against each other, taking glee in watching his second command and his daughter go at each other. It was like Garmadon and Clouse all over again, and Clouse makes sure to take out all his bitterness on her
— Skylor doesn’t really know who she is yet. Children are a combination of their parents, right? Well, Skylor’s dad was a psychopath who turn himself and his employees into mythical snakes at the cost of his daughter’s life.
— Skylor has no idea who her mother was. She has no memory of her. Did she bail early on when she found out who her father was? Or did she actually like her father? Was it some kind of forced marriage? Skylor doesn’t know, but the thought that both of her parents were evil keeps her up at night.Â
— Skylor has a phobia of snakes after the fiasco with Chen. It doesn’t matter how big or small, Skylor becomes legitimately afraid of them after she turned into one herself. It frustrates her, because she grew up around the darn things, and also, they are what mainly attack Ninjago.
— (Sometimes, Skylor finds herself panicking for no reason because she feels like she’s slithering. Sometimes, she scratches her skin until it’s raw to get rid of the feeling of scales. Sometimes she dreams of her father and herself as purple snakes, laughing at the fools who tried to save Ninjago.)
— Skylor doesn’t ever want to be in the place where she lets her fear lead her into doing what she doesn’t want. Skylor never liked doing what her dad wanted, but her fear crippled her and she did whatever he wanted despite her own morals.
— Her father didn’t start out insane. He was always obsessed with power, but the insanity grew over time. Skylor watched the Staff of Elements twist every good thing about him, she is terrified that someday that will happen to her.
— The closest that will ever happen to her was when she took Garmadon’s power in season 9.
— She felt the poisoned power in her veins, felt her eyes glow purple, and while wrestling Garmadon for control she felt herself craving the destruction. There was a dark pleasure in the sheer power she possessed with the Colossi at her control.
— Skylor was only poisoned with Garmadon’s power because she wan’t an Oni — but she knew if she was, she would have been corrupted.
— When she had the power, something in her head said make the city hurt like you hurt. you lost so much and what has this city ever done for you?
— She was barely able to curb the destruction and aim it at Garmadon and his goons, but it was enough to make her skin crawl looking back.
— And that scares Skylor, because she doesn’t want to think that she’s capable of that amount of evil. Deep down, though, she knows she is.
— And with all of this, her first thought, her greatest fear, is hurting Kai and the Ninja.
— Before, when the Ninja were just getting to know Skylor, she was just … hard to read.
— She's spent her entire life putting up a front, playing a role, hiding her feelings. If she doesn't want to share something, she’ll put up this shield with such practiced ease it’s like breathing for her. It’s scary. The only person who’s really seen through it is … Kai.
— It goes the same for Kai as well. Whenever he get frustrated, reaches his boiling point, feels like he could light something on fire with just a careless lack of control … he heads for Skylor.
— She immediately senses something is wrong. Drops what she’s doing, and just … gives his this look. It isn’t prying like his family would do, it’s you can tell me what’s wrong, I’m here, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to.
— It’s like magic because it makes his jaw unhinge and suddenly he’s talking to her. And after they dish out the big feelings, then Kai helps out around the restaurant to take his mind off things.
— Skylor never likes to talk about her life on the island before the Ninja came, because she doesn’t want them to look at her differently, to realize how many bad things she’s done.
— She was there when Zane and Pixal were dragged to the island. She watched them tear into Pixal like she wasn’t even alive, she stole Zane’s power when he was chained in a cramped little dungeon. She watched the sand stain red with blood and she watched Chen and Clouse punish followers with a snake beneath the island. She watched men get eaten whole for their disobedience, all without leaving her father’s side.
— Skylor has been hurt by people, and has hurt them in return. Over and over again. Somewhere along the way she gained a conscious. She’s betrayed even herself, when she allowed her dad to steal the Ninja’s powers. And she’s reminded of that every day because the guilt still lingers beneath her skin
Even more Ninjago 'What If's for writers suffering from dreadful writers block! While there's still wonderful angst regarding the fire boi, there are some light hearted ones. Enjoy cause this one's quite lengthy!
What if Chen didn't fully believe Kai became loyal to him? So he used Neuro's ability to look in Kai's head, seeing he was being played by the fire ninja. Chen isn't happy about Kai lying to him so he has Clouse put a spell on the ninja making him believe he is Chen's son, raised on the island alongside Skylor as her brother. Lava & Nya/Skylor.
--------------------------------------------------
What if Chen had his men kidnap Kai after Lloyd left? In the time Kai was kidnapped and the Tournament of Elements, Kai was used as a slave to serve Chen obviously with his fire taken. When Kai did something Chen didn't like, he was sent to be chased by the anacondrai serpent until he was exhausted and then Chen would whip him into unconsciousness but he couldn't have his slave out of commission so he had Clouse heal his wounds then send him back to work. Kai's body is almost completely covered in whip scars and Chen has him wear revealing clothing so he can admire the pain he's caused the fire ninja and of course when he has Kai working in front of the contestents, he wears baggy clothing to not cause suspicion. Oh yeah, Kai also has forced amnesia so he doesn't remember the team, only vaguely recognizing them.
--------------------------------------------------
Kai has separation anxiety due to his parents suddenly leaving when he was young :3
--------------------------------------------------
What if Kai got flashbacks to his past when they were turned into kids by Garmadon? Where Llyod is still a kid he looks 10, the 4 ninja look 5 or under so Kai keeps getting memories of his parents that has him dissociate through the mission
--------------------------------------------------
An entire week of fighting low villains leaves Kai is so done with life. During yet another fight, Kai is just so indifferent, he's casually insults the villains and complains about them without putting much effort into fighting them yet still winning.
--------------------------------------------------
I've seen this one a lot so- Kai likes his hair played with when his hair isn't gelled up. On days where his hair is down and something starts ticking him off, the nearest person rushes to 'pet' him which he immediately starts melting into the touch and he forgets why he was mad. Would occasionally demand 'pets' if he was feeling emotionally upset but instead of verbally, he would sit next to them and nudge their hand until they start playing with his hair.
--------------------------------------------------
What if they Ninja had feral/beast modes? Where they're elemental powers takes a physical hold on them, giving them unique features and a major power up. What triggers feral/beast mode is when someone they have strong feelings for or heavily attached to is harmed in any way, they won't rest until their charge is safe and the threat is eliminated. However once used it'll leave them exhausted for a week.
--------------------------------------------------
Inspired by this post:
So Kai gets possessed, Morro's disbelief in more detail then Kai's subconscious traps Morro, allowing Kai to take back his body. When Kai gets back to the tea shop he casually mentions that he's keeping a ghost named Morro hostage in his own head.
--------------------------------------------------
What if Kai (like Ember in the Elemental movie) could hold, or set fires to, different minerals to change to the color of his fire? Or more realistically(ish), what if he had to consume the necessary chemicals for his fire to change? They wouldn't harm him and the colored fire would last for as long as the chemicals are in his system
