Hello hello hello– its me again I have a request for doing a part 2 of your morro x reader oneshot (Headaches, Not Heartaches) but this happens in s5. I got intrigued by the comment that @justanormperson wrote, and I'm all for the drama. So yeahhh
—🌱 (also pls call me planty)
Awww Planty! I like it!
I actually forgot about this comment for a while...there's going to be a bit of angst at first, but there will be a happy ending! (After all, Morro kinda has to die for season 5 to happen) Also Wu is kind of an antagonist... but when is he not. Like I know it's because of marketing, but he is training teens to fight traumatic battles.
(I promise I didn't forget a title shhhh)
Those Eyes of Yours
Where you have become all Morro wants.
He remembered happily.
"Morro?" He didn't like that you were crying. Didn't you love him too?
"Did I do something wrong?" He gets up off his knee, hands falling to his sides. "Isn't this what you wanted?"
Finally, you break into a smile, and his confusion is cleared. "Yes, Morro. It's everything and more." You fling your arms around his torso, grabbing him into a tight hug. You pull away and kiss him, "how did Sensei let you do this?"
He grins, "I'm his favorite child; he'd let me do anything."
"Even be my Yang?"
"Even be your Yang." He wears his piece with pride, helping you out with yours. He felt even closer to you that day, and forever since.
He remembered sadly.
"Sensei, why can't we do this together?" He asked.
"Yeah, we've never separated for years." You took his side, stepping closer to hold his hand. "We're 25 now, haven't we learned everything?"
Sensei Wu shook his head. "You've become dependent on each other. You know how to use your elements together, and fight together, but do you know how to use them alone? What happens if you get separated in the heat of battle? You won't be able to hold your own."
"Yes we can!" You insisted. "We're older, smarter, and stronger; nothing can beat us!"
"Then surely this won't be a problem for either of you. Tomorrow morning you will head to the places your elements originate from. That is where you will become more in tune to your element."
You slept tightly in each others embrace, then left the next morning. With one last goodbye kiss, you head off to the frozen mountains. He won't see you for three months. "Remember, Morro, after this...we'll be stronger, and we can protect everyone."
He remembered angrily.
"They should've been back by now." He missed your calloused hands as they would rub his shoulders every morning he woke up too stiff to move. He missed the way you smelled like fresh, cold air. He missed how you would look at him in such a tender way that his heart would melt. He'd waited a long three months, and an extra week. He spent every day waiting by the door; hardly eating nor sleeping. His wind element had gotten leagues stronger, and he waited patiently and excitedly to show you. Now he wanted nothing more than to hold you tight and snuggle for hours.
For once, Wu looked nervous. Morro didn't like that one bit. "What's wrong, old man?"
He'd only ever called him that when he was upset. This only served to make Wu more anxious. "Perhaps I should check up on them."
"No, I'm coming with you. You can't make me stay behind, not this time." He stood up, pushing past him towards your room, where he gathered up his belongings again for the two day trek to the mountains.
Oh, so angrily.
A failed fire sat in front of you as you lay curled up in a cave, dead several weeks ago, chilled to the point of greyed skin. It must've been slow, cold, lonely, and painful.
You were supposed to have been able to withstand freezing temperatures, but you still had yet to unlock your full potential. Both of you did; that's why Wu had sent the two of you away. He continued cradling your decaying form, crying no matter how much the cold stung, and kissing your face no matter how bad you smelled.
"Oh dear..."
He snapped. "'oh dear'?" He sneered, "(Y/N)...my (Y/N)'s dead and that's all you have to say?" He begins screaming, "they're not some - some machine who can get by on cogs; they were human who needed warm blood and you forced them to come out here on their own with nothing more than the clothes on their back! THEY WERE YOUR FAMILY, WU!! THEY WERE MY YIN!!" He clutches his head, trying to keep his anger under control. You were no longer there to whisper sweetly to him; to convince him to calm down. "You killed them! You let them come here, and killed them!" He grabs him up by the front of his shirt.
"Morro, calm down-" Wu pulls himself away, only to get forced back by a strong wind.
"Don't tell me to 'calm down'." His tone is dangerous and seething. "Give me one good reason why I should just let you walk away from this."
He remembers foolishly.
How ironic. He burned away, opposite to your death, as he realized he was lied to.
He was so desperate to get you back, that he believed Wu when he said that by becoming the Green Ninja, he could save you. The old man was just trying to save his own skin; he should've known. Blinded by his love for you, he let Wu guide him to a volcano, where he was trapped and was burning to death. These last two weeks were the most painful ones of his life. He just hoped that whatever afterlife he was brought to, you'd be there, and you would at least not be disappointed in him forever.
"I'm sorry, (Y/N). I'm so sorry." He clutches his Yang medallion before fading away. It all hurt too much.
But most importantly, he remembers you. He couldn't find you, not at all in the entirety of the Cursed Realm, but The Preeminent told him otherwise.
She told him how you were stuck, and that only she could free you. "I've fallen for that one before. Won't fool me twice." He scoffed.
She tells him that because he threatened the First Spinjitzu Master's son, he was sent here. You were sent to a different place called the Departed Realm. In order to get there, she needed to be brought an artifact called the Realm Crystal, so she wanted to send him to get it.
"I'll kill you myself if you're lying to me." He was sick of this. He just wanted to be with you again. Why was he so different with you gone?
So he did every little thing she told him to do; but it wasn't until he possessed a kid named Lloyd and went to a place called Steep Wisdom that he went berserk. "...you." He stood in front of Wu with a dark look in his eyes. He relished the way his eyes widened in terror, horrified at the sight of his dead student. "Did you miss me, old man? Or does it scare you to see me again?" His grin is sadistic as he uses his full potential to lift an entire windmill, splinter it, and send the shards into a treacherous whirlwind.
He isn't very aware of his surroundings, and receives a cut to the back of the hand by a single shuriken. He remembers the shurikens of ice; they were made for you. These were nothing like those, however. Why was he thinking of you now? He needed to focus on the person who threw the shurikens.
Those eyes are so familiar. "(Y/N)?" Despite being mechanical, they looked so kind. "Could it really be you?" He misses you so much.
The ninja are all confused. Zane speaks up, ignoring him entirely. "Let Lloyd go."
"You know I can't. I'm so close, we can be together again." Morro takes a few steps towards the nindroid. Did you reincarnate somehow? Look like this because he wished you were mechanical? Because he wished your human skin and blood didn't have to freeze and die in the cold?
Zane bites. "Who is (Y/N)?"
He smiles gently, looking at the Yang medallion on Lloyd. It managed to manifest itself when he possessed the teen. "My Yin." Looking back at Zane, his smile falters. "But you are not my Yin. (Y/N) would remember themselves. (Y/N) would remember me." He builds his hurricane up again. "And they would not forgive Wu for letting them die. I don't know how you're related to them, but I can't let you get in my way."
He turns to face the man who failed his first students, but he had already fled with the staff he needed. "No!" The whirlwind is back to full power, and debris is being hurdled around him at fatal speeds. "NO!!"
The ninja don't even bother fighting him, not without their elemental powers nor weapons, so they flee as well. Morro tries to stop them by dragging The Bounty closer to him with all his might, but just the sight of those familiar, yet blue eyes sends him to tears. He can't bear to hurt someone like you, even if he knows they're not you, even if he knows they're not even human. He lets them go, only to summon Lloyd's dragon. He could safely board this way, and not have to worry about hurting the mechanical being.
The ninja are fighting against him, refusing to let him have the staff without a fight, but he won't let them get away with it that easily. Only half of the crew were fighting him, anyway. How hard could this be? "Get out of my way." He sends strong gusts of wind their way; they couldn't possibly beat him if he could simply force them off the flying ship with a flick of his hand. This should be quick.
He's much stronger with his wind power now; more practiced. He uses smaller gusts to boost himself forwards, and he flies down the hallways, busting doors open, looking for the staff.
When he does find it, that's because it's been thrown out of the window right as he busts into the room. "I won't let you keep them from me any longer!" He screams at Wu as he sends wind at him so hard he crashes through the wall into the next room over, injuring him.
The moment Morro's left, the ninja are quick to find a place to hide and rest up. "Sensei...who was that?" Jay's voice trembles as he looks over to Wu.
"Why did he think I was his Yin?"
"He seemed really mad at you."
Wu sighs, his arm bandaged tightly as he decides to tell them the tale of his first students. "(Y/N) and Morro, a commoner and an orphan. They were best friends growing up, and soon fell in love. As you all know now, Morro had the element of wind, but (Y/N) had the element of ice." He looks over to Zane. "You look and sound similar to (Y/N), which is why he was hesitant to destroy The Bounty. He didn't want to destroy you."
Zane looks at his titanium hands. Were you related to him in any way? Why was he so much like you, or were you more like him? Who was made first? Sometimes when he used his powers, he could hear a faint whisper; was that you trying to talk to him? It was a guiding type of whisper, one that was gentle and full of love. It reminded him to use his power to protect others.
"He and (Y/N) did everything together, but one cannot get stronger by depending on others, so for a time, I decided to separate them. (Y/N) got into some trouble fighting a grundal, and even though I rushed to save them, I couldn't make it in time." Wu sighs, sounding upset with himself.
The ninja remember what a grundal was like. Still, they felt awful for you. You had no chance against it, since you were an ice master, not a light one. They all figured you must've been the reason they were all hunted to extinction; Wu wouldn't want that to happen to anyone else.
"Morro was deeply upset with me, believing I just let them die. He wouldn't listen to me; and I didn't expect him to. His Yin just died, and neither I nor he could save them. He tried to become the Green Ninja, despite swearing against it because he wanted to stay by (Y/N)'s side, but the golden weapons wouldn't react to him. He thought that if he could become the Green Ninja, he could bring (Y/N) back to life, so instead of accepting things as they were, he set off to find my father's tomb, and consequently died."
Everyone was quiet, processing these depressing events. No one would know of Wu's lies, but that didn't matter now, did it? The past was in the past, and he really did wish Morro would just move on and be with you.
"Don't worry, Sensei. We'll rescue Lloyd and even put Morro to rest so he can be with (Y/N) again." Kai announces.
Jay and Cole nod, "we might not have our powers, but we won't go down without a fight."
Zane smiles, whispering to himself, "I would like my family to be happy again." He wishes he knew you and Morro when you were alive. Part of him feels like he does.
