AU where Ray and Maya take Kai and Nya with them when Krux kidnaps them instead of leaving their children to fend for themselves.
I don’t think I can explain how much I love this idea. And I will make some stuff for this in my free time. But I’m a little swamped with school at the moment, so I’m just listing the ideas I'm having with this AU right now.
First things first I’m going off of the few things of the cannon that won't be obliterated by this au, that Ray and Maya are forced to work for Krux because he threatens their kids
Second, the cannon will be decimated. Cause Kai and Nya wouldn't be introduced till Day of Departed along with Dr. Saunders (aka Krux), so several thing just don't happen, can't happen or would have to happen later
Third, Kai and Nya are the bad guys now. Cause they work with Krux and Acronix willingly (cause angst)
Nya and Kai don’t spend a lot of time with their parents because that's how Krux is keeping them in line, and he want the elements under his influence
So Krux raises them for the most part
They call him Uncle Krux, Uncle, or Dr. Sanders in public
They never become ninja, but they still learned to fight from Krux and their parents
They trust and work with Krux
Due to growing up in a museum with a history nut, they both are knowledgeable in history
Like a lot of the secret stuff that Wu keeps from the ninja, was in History of Ninjago Volume 5
They may or not be history nerds. . .
They have a relationship with their parents, but they don’t agree on Krux’s plans, and that always gets awkward around the holidays
When Acronix comes back, he’s the cool uncle
They respect the ninja for keeping Ninjago safe, but they hope that through fulfilling their plans that Ninjago will be safe enough that they won’t need the ninja anymore.
Krux has planted an unhealthy distrust of Wu’s intentions into the Smith siblings
