"You're doing very well, Yumi!" Garmadon's smile blinds her, but she doesn't mind, too happy to hear this compliment. "It's great you're getting more control of the Dream element."

"But, Master..." Yumi interrupts. "I'm still bothered by nightmares where you're gone, and I don't know what to do... They feel so real... And so painful..."

She sighs heavily. These nightmares have become her second life, and that hurts.

"Well, I think it's your last test from the Dream," Garmadon replies with kind smile. "You should choose which world you belong."

Yumi looks carefully at Sensei's face, and the feeling of hope lifts her spirit. If she has to fight nightmare, pain and suffering so everybody can live peacefully, free from sorrows and violence... She wiil do her best.

"So, what do you choose?"

"I choose eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

Kai goes through the traning course, punching, kicking dummies and shooting them with fireballs. However, the last strike misses. He turns off the mechanism with a tired sigh.

"How's it going?" Yumi suddenly appears behind his back.

"AAAAH!" Kai screams and almost jumps away. "Ugh... You can't sneak and scare people like that!"

"Sorry." She smiles calmly. "So, how's your training?"

Kai looks at dummies and shrugs it off. "Eh, as usual..."

"But you look tired," Yumi notices.

"Maybe I've lost my fit a bit, but that's okay, I can deal with it." Girl stares at Kai, so intently that he starts to worry about it. "Um, what? Is something wrong with my hair?"

"No, I just think I can help you," she smiles again.

"You?" Kai raises his eyebrow in confusion. "I thought you didn't like combat training."

"Oh, I don't need to fight you. I've learnt a new technique to strengthen you," Yumi stretches out her hand. "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Hm... Sure, why not!" Kai gets kind of interested in her progress, so he gives a hand.

Yumi closes her eyes, and Kai feels how the energy fills his body. Weariness leaves him, he feels completely fresh and renewed. The Red Ninja makes a hit in the air and release a burst of fire, the strongest he's ever seen.

"Wow! What a feeling!" he laughs and destroys the annoying dummy on his way. "I've never felt so energetic!"

"Hey, can you be quiet?! I'm trying to-" Jay, who came out to complain, breaks off in mid-sentence, amazed. "Woah, that's so cool! How are you doing that?"

Yumi turns to him with the same calm smile.

"Do you want to try this technique of mine too?"

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

As Cole closes the fridge door and turns back, he almost drops his portion of snacks out of surprise.

"Hi, Cole," Yumi doesn't even move, smiling calmly.

"Oof, Yumi... How have you got here so quietly?"

"I've learnt some stealth recently."

"That's... That's good to hear," Cole smiles, however, he feels something weird. "Hey, I can't help but notice that you look better... I mean, you finally seem chill again as you were, well, before all the events."

Yumi remains silent and staring.

"... I'm sorry, did it sound bad?" Cole can't even read her expression. "I mean, I'm glad you're fine now. Not stressed or something like that."

"Thank you," Yumi replies. "I'm happy to hear it."

"Cool... Cool."

Cole grabs a snack and eats it, but doesn't get satisfaction.

"Something's wrong?" girl immediately asks.

"Eh, it's just not the same..." Cole sighs with frustration. "It's a hard time for Chen's Noodle House so their food is... So tasteless. Skylor promised to fix that, but for now I have to deal with-"

"Let me help you," Yumi interrupts and stretches out her hand closer to Cole's face. "My new ability will help you to feel the whole spectrum of tastes and even more."

"Uh, what? When have you learnt this trick?" Cole slightly moves away from her hand.

"That doesn't matter, friend. Kai and Jay have already tested it... And they're happy. Don't be afraid, let me help you."

"Okay... But only this time."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"Hey, Yumi, have you called me?" Lloyd enters the room and sees Yumi who leans on a sofa back. She looks at him with relaxed smile.

"I want to talk with you," she replies and makes a gesture to come closer. Lloyd makes a few steps and then notices Kai, Jay and Cole sleeping on the sofa.

"Huh... That's strange of them to sleep in the middle of the day," the Green Ninja notes.

"They've got tired of training so they're taking a nap now," Yumi slightly pats Cole's head. "Look, you know I had hard times... Everything was a mess..."

Lloyd looks carefully at Yumi as she talks. Something disturbs him, something surreal in details of her appearance. She let her hair down, though she always ties it up in two buns. There's no sign of bags under eyes, but it's too early for them to completely disappear. Her movements are very slow, and her eyes don't look at Lloyd... Yumi looks through him, right into his soul.

"But a miracle happened... I saw him."

"Who?.." Lloyd asks in confusion.

"Sensei Garmadon. Our mentor. Your father."

Yumi smiles, and an uncanny feeling strikes Lloyd.

"W-what?.. You must be joking, this is nonsense..." he mumbles.

"This is real, Lloyd!" Yumi sounds excited. "I meet your father in my dreams! My element has finally started to help me! And this way... Garmadon taught me how to control dreams!"

Lloyd sees a tone of craziness in her look.

"Look at our friends, Lloyd! They're happy thanks to Dream! Isn't it wonderful? These new abilities are amazing!"

Lloyd takes a step away, scared of Yumi.

"But you put them to sleep... How long have they been sleeping?!"

"An hour... Or two... Or five..." Yumi counts, getting closer to Lloyd. "But does it matter? They're happy! They're in the best world of all where all their dreams come true! And you can join them, you can finally see your father and never lose him again..."

"Yumi, that's not the way! You're crazy, come to your senses!"

"Oh, Lloyd..."

Yumi smiles and reaches for him. Lloyd tries to get away, but the Dream Master grabs his head and blinds him with her glowing pink eyes.

"I will help you reach the eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

The Titanium Dragon flies above Ninjago City. Zane returns home from a mission. Looking down, he notices that city is... Dormant. The streets are covered in pink mist, and people are asleep on sidewalks, in cars, in their offices. Fortunately, there's no sight of car accidents.

"Pixal, can you analyze this fog?"

"I can't find any information in the database. But, I have to say, it seems to have the same structure as Yumi's elemental power. If I were you, I would hurry."

The dragon speeds up, and Zane gets home in a few minutes. Now it's clear for him that the source of fog is here. He walks through the rooms past the sleeping Nya, Master Wu, Misako... Everybody is asleep. Zane moves crosscurrent and finally reaches the source — Yumi. She floats in the lotus position, surrounded by sleeping ninja. As she pats Lloyd's head, her hand absorbs green sparkles of energy.

"You returned..." Yumi speaks slowly.

The Dream Master straightens her legs and floats closer. Zane gets an opportunity to look at her carefully, and her new appearance scares him. Yumi is wearing a dark-pink kimono with flower patterns, its sleeves and skirt slightly flatter. Yumi's hair float like in the water, and antlers made of cherry branches bloom on her head, filling the room with petals.

"What have you done?.." Zane asks quietly in disbelief. How have everything got out of hand so quickly?

"I... Sent them to a better world." Yumi smiles and looks right through Zane's heart with her eyes closed.

"You put them to sleep."

"The Dream Realm is the best home for these tired souls. It's always been."

"But they can't sleep forever. Yhey must wake up!" Zane insists, but Yumi just shrugs.

"You don't understand. You must join them and see. I will be your guide, Zane, you deserve joining the world of satisfaction..."

She reaches out to touch, but nindroid keeps the distance.

"I'm sorry to say it, but it's the wrong way, Yumi. Running from reality isn't a solution."

"The real world is cruel, violent and sorrowful. The Dream Realm gives them eternal happiness. There's nothing wrong, it's the only way to save Ninjago..."

"No!" Zane interrupts. "You can't choose for others. All you give them is the illusion of happiness, when they can experience real feelings in reality."

Yumi remains silent for a moment.

"You're being stubborn... You're afraid. If you can't believe me..." The Dream Master opens her eyes that turned pink. "Then I will show you the truth."

Yumi dashes to Zane and grabs him by shoulders. He struggles to free himself but fails. The Dream Master looks straight into his eyes.

"You're a nindroid, of course you think differently. But that's not a problem... You see dreams too. You're just like humans... And you deserve the eternal happiness too."

[ekacucumber]

You know what? I'm not looking for easy ways. I go from left to right, from top to bottom.

🌸 This is a firm fact.

❓ I'm not sure how to interpret...

❌ Not true.

THE BINGO AND FACTS

🌸 Yeah, Hibernation exists :)

❌ Yumi is a human.

🌸 I haven't seen the Dream element anywhere else~

❓ Well, technically, Yumi is NOT a ninja because she doesn't do combat. I separate Dream Masters and Ninja, they do different things.

❌ Yumi physically can't work alone with her element, Dream Masters are team workers. Also, Yumi didn't know about her powers before Wu met her.

❓ Well... Yumi can have deer antlers made with cherry branches... But they're not fully her features, it's just a pretty effect.

🌸❓ I guess????? I actually prefer using Lego yellow skin.

🌸 Yumi's color is pale pink!

🌸 Yumi has her own "villain" phase when the Dream Realm takes control over her. Yumi uses other's feelings, wishes and fears to lock ninja in dreams.

❓ That's complicated... Yumi appears between s2 and s3. In my AU(?) Sensei Garmadon becomes her mentor and they get quite close so... Yumi and Lloyd get goofy siblings relationships too. BUT YUMI IS NOT ADOPTED!

❌ Yumi's parents are alive. Father doesn't show himself in the story, but he's alive for sure.

❌ Yumi's backstory isn't tragic... Her STORY is tragic though :)

❌ Yumi is born and raised in the Ninjago City.

❌ Yumi isn't a good fighter... She's awful. All she knows is the Art of the Silent Fist, but that's just dodging skills.

❌ Nope, Yumi's not inspired by myself :)

🌸 Well, Yumi had a rivalry with the Ice Emperor and hates Vex :) That's a funny arc.

❓ Yumi didn't know about her powers because they revealed themselves only in her generation after years... But in other ways Yumi knows her backstory, there's no secrets about her past :/

🌸 Yeah, you caught me, Yumi's bisexual.

🌸❓ Yumi doesn't have any disorders... But the Dream element gives her ability to see other's auras. Also, that means Yumi trusts her feelings more than logic, it's usual for her to say "I FEEL something's wrong, I can't explain, something's just wrong, I can SENSE it!"

🌸 Being in the Dream Realm's trap, Yumi's really close to death :) She almost departs to another "perfect" world, she almost plunges into eternal sleep.

🌸 Yumi has her powers from birth. However, it took time to awaken.

❌ Yumi IS a part of the team. As I've said, she's a team worker as all the Dream Masters.

🌸 Well... Yumi is skinny so yes.

🌸 Yumi has the same age as all the ninja... But she gets her age up in the Never-realm :)

hey yall i saw a ninjago oc bingo that was really condescending and also made like no sense so i decided to make my own! note that this is just for fun, and not at all a rag on your ocs, in fact many of my ocs fit into a lot of these tropes! i just took what i saw really commonly in the fandom and put it here… ya girl did her best akjdhfkjg

[ekacucumber]

Yumi: Okay, guys, just hear me out... The Dream Realm also got merged and and I got somehow stuck there, and there were a lot of people fighting their nightmares, and my nightmare happened to be a fear of failure to save others so I grabbed a bunch of people and got out... So, that's how I saved a nightmare, meet Sean.

Zane: ... What??

Lloyd: Am I an uncle now???

Sean: I am not her son.

Yumi: I love him like a son.

Sean: BUT I AM NOT YOUR SON.

Lloyd: Aww, I already love him like a nephew.

Sean: AHHHHH STUPID HUMANS WITH THEIR AFFECTIONS!!!

Yumi, as always, stays after the lesson for extra exercise. As children leave the territory of school, Sensei Garmadon sits down in front of her with reassuring smile.

"Are you ready?" he asks.

"I guess so..." she replies with a sigh.

Mentor's smile fades, his face turns serious.

"You guess? No, that's not the spirit. Is something bothering you?"

"N-no, Sensei, I'm ready," Yumi closes her eyes to get started.

"This won't do. I ask again: is something bothering you?"

Yumi is silent for a few seconds, hesitating and crumpling the edge of her shirt. "I... I just have a question."

"So?"

"Master... Why do we carry on? I mean, am I even needed as much as you assume? It's a peaceful time, and also Ninja are doing well on their own, I don't think I can be helpful... I'm afraid they don't really need the Dream Master."

Garmadon sighs heavily, as if about to say something important and at the same time difficult.

"Listen to me, Yumi. The peace is fragile. The least imbalance leads to consequences... And it's not only about Ninjago. It's also about a team which can be destroyed due to disagreement. Do you get this part?"

Yumi nods.

"Being a Dream Master is not about fighting alongside. It's about keeping the balance. Dream Masters used to be at the back and help Elemental Masters to recover after tough battles. They chose to use their powers to heal, not to fight. They were never warriors, but great companions."

Yumi looks at her mentor with slight perplexity. Everything Garmadon says about previous Dream Masters always seems something sublime and distant. She remains silent for a bit after the monologue's ending.

"So... Do you want to tell me that I should define myself as a companion?"

"You find your own answer to this question. If you want to think about it more, we can postpone your meditation classes until your mind is clear from uncertainty."

"... Yes, please."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"Here!" Zane reaches out and lets Falcon sit on his forearm. "It's Falcon, my friend."

Yumi looks at Falcon with pure interest. She has never seen a bird so close.

"So, you became friends with a wild predatory bird?" She asks, trying to stroke him. Falcon sharply squeaks under her hand, but does not resist.

"Well, he was constructed to be my companion, so we have some kind of connection."

Hearing these words, Yumi finally realizes why the bird's head seems too smooth and the feathers too stiff. He's made of metal.

"Oh. That is... That's a great work. Looks very... Natural," she even forgets some words. Falcon squeaks again and soars to the sky.

Yumi can't help but think of the word "companion". It's just stuck in her head like a riddle she can't solve. What does it mean to be a companion? Is she a good companion? Will it make her a good Dream Master?..

"Something's wrong, Yumi?" Zane asks in a concerned voice. "You seem sad."

"Uh... No, I'm fine," she shakes the bad thoughts off. "I think you're lucky to have Falcon and the team by your side."

"That's true. It's really good." Yumi looks at Zane's smiling face and averts her eyes.

She's the only one who must search for the solution.

Yumi has never felt such intense anger before. It bursts her from the inside, burns her, and inaction angers her only more. Lloyd had become as dear to her as a brother, and how could this arrogant ghost dare to control him?

But for the Dream Master, tranquillity and fortitude are crucial.

Yumi rushes at Morro with unprecedented zeal, grabs him by the ragged cloak and pulls, turning his attention to herself. Green eyes with an unhealthy gleam look at her with malice, and Yumi does not recognize Lloyd in the expression on his face. This inflames her anger even more.

"Leave," she growls, coolly avoiding the blade.

"And who are you to order me around?" Morro snaps back, thrusting with many swings of his blades.

Dodging the blows, Yumi appears behind Morro. She swings her arm, concentrating the energy of her element.

Balance. Concentration. Willpower.

Balance. Concentration. Willpower.

"I am the Dream Master."

Blow. Morro easily catches Yumi's fist with a winning smile.

"So?"

This mockery becomes the last straw. Yumi sees that Lloyd's pure golden aura is stained with a wicked green power that has taken over his body.

It's wrong.

It's wrong.

It's wrong!

She clenches her teeth and proceeds to an active attack, which is completely unusual for a Dream Master.

"I will rip your soul out of his body! I will tear you apart! I will send you back to where you came from!"

In a fit of rage, Yumi finds herself in a vulnerable position as Morro easily captures her.

"You fool," he laughs and throws her to another part of Bounty. And that's when Yumi can't get up.

[ekacucumber]

I'M FEELING LIKE RAMBLING RIGHT NOW

Yumi x Zane are so good for me I want to cry every moment I think about them because they're fluffy and angsty... They even made me think of a rewrite because Yumi changes some concepts and arcs but I don't think I have enough energy to make it a full fic so I probably gonna stick with my little texties

THEIR BACKSTORY UUUUUUGGGGHHH IT'S HUGE LONG POST COMING

First of all, Yumi had hard time accepting her new life. She was almost ripped out of her regular life, her lovely work in the restaurant, so she could become the Dream Master... NO ONE EVEN KNEW HOW TO AWAKEN HER POWERS, Garmadon became her mentor because the previous DM was helping to keep evil inside (before the whole race of potential DMs was murdered by Chen...)

So, Yumi really had to study the magic she couldn't even understand, but she still made friends with ninja (we're not talking about Lloyd being jealous here...), she preferred spending time with them when possible. And, honestly, Zane understood Yumi quite well, she also felt distant and different as he felt once. Zane could distract Yumi from heavy thoughts with talking on unconnected topics, and Yumi did listen to him even if she couldn't understand some things. Once he even let Yumi touches his energy source, his 'heart'. Before Yumi couldn't get how a nindroid has feelings, but after that something clicked and she finally understood.

By the way, in Dream Master AU Pixal and Zane get sort of close siblings relationship, they're close like Kai and Nya are

So, after Zane's death... Yumi was struck. She was never actually ready to see people die. And of all of them, Zane... Yumi was sinking in sorrow and sake, she never got this badly drunk before. But with Garmadon's help she recovered and started to take care after Titanium Ninja Statue (HOW DID IT GET SO DIRTY)

During the whole Tournament she sticks with Nya and she's also very happy to see Zane alive again (and I like to think about "wait Pixal is in your head now???" moment)... And after a happy reunion a tragedy happens, Garmadon's sacrifice, which strikes Yumi even more :) now she's shocked and in grief, she almost closes from everyone.

It's where her Dream Powers start working. She gets some visions about sakura blooms, pink mist and wonderful peaceful land... She loses control of her sleep, she dreamwalks and gets a hypersomnia. It scares Yumi and she tries her best not to sleep anymore even if it's harmful. Everyone is quite worried about her, but Zane is the one who sees more than just a sleepyhead. They still have quite a connection, and Yumi really accepts help only from Zane, because she doesn't want to disturb anyone with her problems but Zane insists.

Once the situation stabilized and Yumi sighed with relief... Visions get worse. She sees Garmadon in her dreams. And the worst thing iss the start of derealization. Dreams seem real, Garmadon is alive there, and reality hurts a lot... So Yumi balances between two worlds without anybody knowing before she decides to choose the Dream as the only reality. She puts the whole New Ninjago City asleep to protect and give the sweetest of dreams. Zane returns from a mission and discovers it so he has to save the day. He convinces Yumi that running away is not a solution, that life may be dangerous but it gives a lot of good moments, that pain will go away eventually. That's how Zane saved Ninjago (again) and helped Yumi to release her True Potential.

I call them Hibernation, because this word's both connected with computer hibernation and animal hibernation.

After that these two don't really have arcs together, they're still close, but often get separated by circumstances. They become a pair after s7, when Yumi needs to help Lloyd with leadership and Zane helps her handle Wu's disappearance without falling again. That's when they realize they really love and care about each other.

OH, BUT FROM S8-S9 THE FUN BEGINS. Because, oh well, Zane and Mr. E confrontation is not enough, ALL THE NINJA DISAPPEAR, ASSUMED DEAD. And also Yumi is kinda traumatized by resurrected Garmadon, she can't even use her Dream powers because she was corrupted by his Destruction. It definitely left a scar...

Okay, I lied, the arc I'm gonna talk about is MUCH WORSE. Ice Emperor. First of all, Yumi had similar dream to Zane's, but she didn't remember it in the moment. In Dream Master AU Aspheera and Zane made a blow at the same time, so Aspheera got frozen, but Zane was sent to the Neverrealm. Yumi was shocked and terrified again... But Aspheera made a second attempt, and that time it was Yumi who pushed Wu away and got struck.

Seconds made difference, and Yumi arrived a week later than Zane. The everlasting winter had already began. At first she was almost crying because no one could help her to find Zane, but then she met the Ice Emperor. That was the period when he was destroying villages by himself to threaten people... Yumi recognized Zane immediately, but he didn't. Yumi had to ran away, but from that moment she promised to save Zane. For Ice Emperor, though, she became a Pink Witch.

They were meeting in different places, and Yumi always tried her best to touch Zane, to use Dream powers on him and make him remember, but with no success. Ice Emperor protected himself, but couldn't help to wait for a new fight, he saw something attractive in their rivalry. Yumi was hiding in villages, where people believed that this girl could save the world.

But Vex (who was absolutely raged by the situation with Pink Witch, because Ice Emperor stopped listening to him) used Yumi's desire to save everybody against her. Vex showed up and warned that if Pink Witch doesn't give in, the whole village will be (not frozen, but) murdered violently. Yumi agreed to save people. Of course after that the village was frozen.

In Ice Palace Yumi got her powers blocked with shackles and stood right in front of Ice Emperor. Vex was talking about execution of Pink Witch, but Ice Emperor made him go away so he could have a moment with this rebel in private. He was watching at Yumi closely and coldly, and Yumi was looking back with tears in her eyes. She was defeated. She failed. She couldn't save Zane anymore. And Ice Emperor liked her fear (he confused sorrow with). He sentenced Yumi to freezing in ice. Yumi only smiled and closed her eyes before falling asleep for 60 long years full of pain. To Vex' discontent, Ice Emperor ordered to leave her in the throne room as a trophy.

After Zane regained his memories and everyone got back in Ninjago, Yumi and Zane needed a therapy. They felt guilty... And anxious. They were too scared to leave each other, they experienced panic attacks whenever one couldn't feel other's presence. Yumi could stay awake for weeks and sleep for days, and Zane was always comfort ing her when she had nightmares. And Yumi never left Zane with his terrible thoughts, always here to say everything's alright, she's okay, she's safe. They were also so touch-starved that Yumi used to climb on Zane like coala and that's how they were moving between rooms.

Yumi Mirackel.

for the event, can i rq zane/gn!ninja!reader with 1,3 prompts? the scenario is that zane had a nightmare where as an ice emperor he hurt reader, then woke and they comforts him

Of course!! Here ya go! ;P

Word count: 1.1k

Ninjago - 1. “I don’t know how much longer I can do this.” and 3. “Please don’t go.” (Zane) (300 follower event)

Zane woke with a start, a strangled gasp escaping his throat as he launched upright. He stared at the wall with wide eyes, panting, recounting the horrific events of his nightmare.

There was one specific image that was burned into his mind: you, on the ground, hurt, trying to get away, scared—scared of him.

Perhaps the worst part of it all was the knowledge that he was the one who hurt you.

He hadn’t known you in the dream; he was acting under orders (or was it instinct? He couldn’t remember). He saw only an an enemy, something to be eradicated. You were screaming, but he wasn’t listening. If anything, he was using it as an incentive to continue. It meant you were scared, and he remembered thinking in that moment: good.

In the final moments of the dream, when you were about to die, the realization suddenly hit him: he knew you. He knew what you were to him. And suddenly your screams were the most gut-wrenching, earth-shattering noise he’d ever heard, and the sheer horror came with him into the waking world.

As his fight-or-flight response slowly deactivated itself, Zane brought his hands up to his face. He closed his eyes, burying his head in his palm. He began to quiver, finding the dread in his stomach heavy and nauseating.

He tried to tell himself it was only a dream. But this wasn’t the first time he’d dreamed of something like this. And each time he lived through the horrible scenario of taking your life (or attempting to, at the least), he became more doubtful of the true nature of the dreams. Were they only dreams, or were they memories?

He shook his head, suddenly exhausted by the effort of convincing himself. “I don’t know how much longer I can do this,” he murmured, finding his voice raspy and unstable.

There was a stirring beside him. “Do what?”

Zane’s breath hitched. He wasn’t sure if he could stand to look at you—not after that dream. So he tried to straighten himself, tensing in a half-effective attempt to stop his shaking, and said: “Nothing. I’m sorry to have woken you.”

You weren’t convinced by his tone, so you sat up, bringing yourself to his level. You touched his arm, blinking away the remaining sleep from your eyes to look at him. Much to your dismay, he turned his face away.

“Zane,” you pleaded softly, “what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,” he insisted. It sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than he was trying to convince you.

You moved your arm to wrap around his shoulders, leaning your head into his arm. “I’m not going to pressure you, but just know that you can tell me anything.”

His head turned a little. He wasn’t looking at you, but he wasn’t looking away, either. He was just staring at the wall opposite to your bed, a haunted look plaguing his eyes.

Now you knew it wasn’t “nothing.” You straightened yourself again, scooting to the front of Zane’s periphery so you could look him in the eye. “Zane, did something happen?”

“I—I don’t know. Did it? I can’t remember.” He was shaking his head despairingly, a wildness stirring in his demeanor. His fists were curled tight around his forearms in an anxious gesture to comfort himself. You put a hand on his knee supportively, waiting for him to elaborate a little.

“My memory is… not good. Not for that part of my life.”

“Which part?”

“When I was the—” His eyes closed in anguish while he shook his head violently, as if trying to rattle the thought out of his brain.

“The Ice Emperor,” you breathed, finishing his sentence.

Now that you understood, you rushed to comfort him. You practically flew forward to wrap him in a hug, holding his head firmly against your shoulder while your other hand rubbed his back.

“It was just a nightmare.”

“It was all a nightmare! I don’t know where the dreams end and reality begins.”

You pulled away, your eyes meeting Zane’s sympathetically. “Do you want to tell me what happened?”

Zane’s mouth opened, then shut again. He almost moved to shake his head, but instead he found his mouth opening once more, and then the words cascaded out.

He spared no details. He had attacked you, forced you to the brink of death, all without remorse. He listened to your anguished pleas and ignored them, wondering who you were to be behaving so familiarly, yet not caring. He had lifted his arm, about to make the final blow, your screech exploding in his ears and sending him flying back into the waking realm.

You let the silence hang in the air for a minute, blinking at the horrific scene Zane had painted for you. Then, seeing the anxiety spiking in him, you rushed to assure him it wasn’t real.

“Nothing of the sort happened. And nothing like that ever will happen.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because you’re better than that. Stronger than that.”

You saw Zane’s grip on himself loosen a little. “But what if it does happen? I can’t protect you.”

“I’ll protect myself,” you quipped, flexing your biceps comically.

A little smile found Zane’s lips. He let out a sigh, releasing more of the tension in his body.

“Still,” he continued, his face twisting again, “I did do horrible things.”

“That wasn’t you. That was some twisted jerk’s pawn who was too innocent to see that what he was doing was wrong.”

Zane nodded slowly, his gaze dropping. He glanced back up at you with an outstretched arm, requesting another hug.

You decided to use it as an opportunity to drag him back into a laying position, using your weight to pull you both down flat onto the mattress. You snuggled into his side, waiting to feel him relax before you let yourself do the same. You waited, but he remained tense.

The covers were bunched up around your legs, so you sat up to grab them.

“Please don’t go,” Zane blurted, panicked.

You pressed a kiss onto his forehead as you lowered yourself back down, tucking the blankets over you both. “I’m not going anywhere,” you promised. “Never.”

At last you could see him relax fully. He’d finally internalized your words, and you could see that in the way he began to smile. He wrapped his arms around you snugly. You felt his fingers gripping the fabric of your pajamas, holding tight as if you’d slip away.

“I’m never going to let that happen,” you heard him murmur. “I’ll always protect you.”

“And I, you. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Thank you for requesting for this event!! And thanks for reading, you guys are the best <33

Ninjago Rarepair Week, Day 2 - Nicknames

(I'm so slow omg)

"Hey sweetie," Yumi hangs on Zane's shoulder with a sly smile. "Have you heard about a new club?"

"Yes, I have. And no, I don't want to bring you there."

Yumi's expression quickly changes to surprised and offended. She grabs Zane's head and makes him look directly at her.

"But honey, I want to check its milkshakes!"

"Don't lie to me, that's not the only reason," Zane refuses strictly. Yumi smiles awkwardly, trying to look innocent.

"Well... I also wanna have a good time with my nindroboy..."

Zane can't hold back a smile. Yumi's nicknames are pretty, but they don't help her to get everything she wants. This secret weapon isn't even a weapon, it's a sign of a great need.

"Can we wait until it gets more reviews?" Zane asks kindly. "So we make sure it's really nice. I don't want you to get sick after drinks, my beloved."

Yumi slightly turns red. Even though she calls Zane nicknames, it's easy to embarrass her with a simple one.

"Fine... You get the point..."

Zane kisses her forehead gently as Yumi blushes more. He won this round.

Ninjago Rarepair Week, Day 1 - Date night

Zane hears and feels how Yumi starts moving under the blanket. It takes her a minute to sit down and open one eye.

"Good morning, Zane..." Yumi yawns.

"Good morning," Zane smiles. He's glad to greet her every time she wakes up after a long sleep. "It's 2:43 AM, actually."

"Oh, I see," Yumi chuckles. "And how long was this sleep?"

"You've been sleeping for 67 hours. Good news, it's less than the last time! I guess you're schedule is stabilizing."

Yumi sighs with relief, puts the blanket on her shoulders and hugs Zane from behind. She presses her cheek against his metal neck and touches his face gently.

"You were looking after me, weren't you?" she asks quietly.

"Of course I was."

After their return from the Never-realm, Zane can't stop keeping an eye on Yumi. Especially when she is asleep. He spends days close to her to make sure she's fine, to calm her down if necessary. He wants to protect her after what he did in the Never-realm. Maybe, that's his way to say 'sorry'.

"Do you need anything?" Zane asks. "We can go get you a snack. You must be hungry."

Yumi hugs Zane tighter, holding him close with her whole body.

"All I need is you right now..." she mumbles. It seems she hasn't quite woken up yet. Zane smiles and pats her head.

"Okay, I'm not going anywhere."

[ekacucumber]

On the Day of the Departed Yumi goes with Lloyd and Misako to remember Sensei Garmadon. To be honest, if she didn't have a mental breakdown, she would travel to the Corridor of Elders once or twice on her own... But it would be a grieving process.

Now she remembers Garmadon with clear mind and heart. Yumi misses her mentor for sure, but she doesn't carry a painful burden of self-blame "I wasn't good enough".

Yumi talks to Garmadon in her thoughts, she can't help it.

Greetings, Master. It's been a while... So hard times. But don't worry, I became stronger. Thank you for everything you gave to me... Thank you for saving Ninjago. Now it's our turn to save our home, and I promise I'll be there to help others.

Good night, Sensei, wherever you are.

❀ Prompt: Green

❀ Main characters: Lloyd Garmadon, Yumi(OC)

❀ Timeline: Between seasons 2 and 3 | After season 4 | Season 5

❀ Summary: Yumi and Lloyd are sworn siblings. But they weren't always this close.

❀ Word count: 1301

╚ ⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤╔ ❀ ╗⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤ ╝

Yumi can't help but consider Lloyd as her sworn brother. This is a little bit different kind of relationship than friendship. She feels responsible for the Green Ninja, she wants to always stay by his side and catch him when he falls.

The more Yumi thinks about Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, the more she understands the reason of her attachment. He's a son of Sensei Garmadon... Maybe, that's it? Maybe, that's her way to pay tribute to her mentor?

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"And... Go."

Upon Garmadon's command Lloyd makes a dash towards Yumi. He makes a sharp blow, and she dodges with her eyes closed, but with an exhalation of surprise. The Green Ninja's moves are quick and accurate, and it takes Yumi a lot of effort to keep escaping his attacks, as she's allowed only to sense the aura, but not to see her opponent. Yumi feels Sensei's eyes on her and tries her best... Also, she feels Lloyd's eagerness.

Yumi misses a blow so hard in the arm that she recoils.

"Stop," Sensei Garmadon says. When Lloyd finally stops, Yumi opens the eyes and looks at the winner's victorious face. "Good job, Yumi, but you still have to work with your fear of your opponent. Remember, when you see clearly, you can predict the next step."

Lloyd smirks.

"And Lloyd, you shouldn't be so violent. Firstly, your body shouldn't act faster than your mind. Secondly..." Garmadon smiles. "You're on training, after all. You could be more gentle with Yumi."

Now that's Yumi's turn to smirk. She actually appreciates every moment father reproaches his son.

"That's the end of our lesson. I'll be in the library if you need me."

As Sensei Garmadon leaves the dojo, Yumi allows herself a weakness and queitly moans, although in an empty room it's perfectly audible.

"Oww, that really hurts... Master's right, you could be more gentle..."

"How could I be more than that?" Lloyd snorts. "I was very careful."

"Dude, you went feral this time! I thought you wouldn't even stop after Master's command."

"Don't you trust the Green Ninja?"

"Honestly, I can't trust Lloyd Garmadon when he acts like a child and goes too far," Yumi can't wrap her words up as a joke, and she sounds more insulting than she actually wants.

"Hey, I'm not a child! I'm just stronger than you."

"It's not a competition, we have different tasks. You fight, and I..."

"And you?" Lloyd raises his brow, waiting for an end of the phrase.

"... You get the point."

"No, I don't. Can you explain?"

Yumi gets angrier when she sees this snide face. She doesn't understand why Lloyd's being so mean to her, why they always argue at trainings, why he always wants so much attention.

Is something wrong with her?

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"So... He's gone..."

"Yes. He is."

Yumi can't fully realize what happened to Garmadon. She sits next to Lloyd and stares in the void with the empty head.

"I accepted it so fast, I... I didn't even have time or willpower to say goodbye..." her voice breaks.

"Listen to me, Yumi," Lloyd says. "I know it's hard, I understand your feelings... It's a great loss for our team and our family... But we must stay strong. We shouldn't let the sorrow stop us."

Yumi looks at his worried face and slightly smiles, selfishly forgetting how Lloyd has sent his own father to the Cursed Realm.

"How do you manage to accept reality so easily?.."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

As the Ninja get back on the ship and bring Lloyd with them, Yumi is the first to hug the Green Ninja.

"Lloyd, you're back! You're finally here!"

"Whoa, Yumi..." Lloyd barely hugs her back. "Yeah, I'm back, back..."

"He's back, but weakened," notes Wu, although smiling. "Let him recover."

"Sorry... I'm just so glad to see you again, Lloyd," Yumi sighs with relief.

"Oh, didn't you miss us too? We were also in great danger..." Jay is faced with glances of his perplexed friends. "Come on, guys, I'm just kidding!"

"So, what's next?" Yumi asks.

"Morro stole the Realm Crystal," Cole can't hide the anger in his voice. "I think we must get ready for a fight."

"Okay, guys, you prepare, and I take Lloyd to his room and help him get better."

"Hey, you don't have to, I will be fine on my own..." Lloyd tries to pull away from Kai, but can't stand firmly on his feet.

"No-no-no, we are not discussing it, I'm definitely taking care of your recovery," Yumi lets him lean on her and escorts him to the room. She leaves the Green Ninja on the bed and takes a first aid kit from a shelf to treat.

"Ugh, Yumi, I'm gonna be fine, you'd better help others..." Lloyd mumbles.

"Don't play a hero," Yumi takes out a box of band-aids. "You know, I'm against sacrifices. So please, relax and let me do my job."

Firstly, Yumi starts treating the bruises. She's relieved that Lloyd isn't injured too much, so it takes just a bunch of band-aids and bandages. However, she senses how faint his aura is, and that's the problem for the Dream Master to solve.

"There!" Yumi puts the last patch on Lloyd's cheek. "Now give me a hand, I will work with your energy."

"Is it necessary?.." Lloyd, conversely, pulls his hand back. "I can recover by myself."

"Lloyd... Why are you being so stubborn?" Yumi sighs. "I'm serious, it would be better if I help."

"Uh... Alright."

The Dream Master takes Lloyd's hand and concentrates her inner energy. Physical contact helps her to make a connection with the Green Ninja's aura and send an energy flow to him. The flexible Dream energy converts into green energy and strengthens the aura.

"Do you feel better?" Yumi asks. She keeps her eyes closed, but sees her own aura, Lloyd's aura, the connection, the energy.

"Yeah..."

"It's gonna take some time, but I'll get you back on top, I promise."

"How have you learnt it?" Lloyd asks in confusion. "I can't remember you doing this before..."

"Well, to be honest, I had a lot of time to improve while you were on missions. Also, there was just no need."

"That's... Impressing."

Yumi smiles, pleased to hear these words from Lloyd. She missed him... She blamed herself again for not keeping track and letting the disaster happen. Even though she's not the one to blame.

"You know... I've been worried about you all these days," Yumi quietly adds. "Everything shouldn't have happened."

"Morro said that's because we had opened the portal to the Cursed Realm..."

Yumi unwillingly frowns.

"For real?"

"Yeah..." Lloyd shrugs. "So, did we have a choice to avoid- ow, ow, you're squeezing my hand."

"Oh, sorry," Yumi loosens her grip that was caused by the unpleasant memories. She concentrates on energy flow again. "If the situation is like this... I don't know what to think."

"If only I was stronger and could fight Morro..." Lloyd sighs heavily. "Then nothing would happen."

"You were strong," Yumi denies. "I heard you had took the control to give Kai the Sword of Sanctuary. I think you did your best against Morro."

The Dream Master slightly smiles.

"I'm proud of you, and I'm sure your father would be proud too."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

Yumi can't help but consider Lloyd as her sworn brother. This is a little bit different kind of relationship than friendship. She feels responsible, she wants to always stay by his side and catch him when he falls.

The more Yumi thinks about the Green Ninja, the more she understands the reason of her attachment. Due to this role, Lloyd must be a hero. Due to her role, Yumi must be a helpmate.

And they are both well aware of how heavy their burden is, so helping each other is essential.

Hibernation in their natural habitat

Occasionally, Yumi and Zane go to a bar to celebrate some events. Well, Yumi celebrates, and Zane makes sure that she doesn't drink too much.

Yumi loves good sake. And good sake is drunk cooled.
