The May night was a suffocating black. Lloyd moved through it, weariness clinging to him like a second skin. Playing the part of the Evil Green Ninja was grueling work; even for someone who savored the intricacies of torture, fatigue was a relentless enemy.

Lloyd pursued, his mind already sketching brutal, elegant techniques to make the man talk. He would not be allowed to escape. As the fugitive stumbled into a dense, inescapable pocket of jungle behind Ninjago, something—or someone—struck him down hard onto the damp earth.
