He sighed. “Fine. If I pinky promise not to try to destroy the world again, would you let me go?”
She stared at him. “No?”
“Worth a shot. But you’re not going to stop me.”
Nya stiffened, and she clenched her fists. The water resurfaced and launched at Morro. He yelped and quickly ducked, the water slamming against the wall behind him. “Oh, aren’t I?” She said coldly.
Morro scrambled to regain his posture, his hand on the grip of his double bladed swallow. “I’m your best shot at getting your metal friend back, aren’t I?” He tried to say nonchalantly, but tension leaked into his tone. Nya faltered.

Summary
Arin had always known that Earth wasn’t the only planet with sentient species. Nobody ever believed him, of course, but he knew it – without a shadow of a doubt. His parents, eager to foster a home where his curiosity could thrive, got him hundreds of books on the universe, deep space, and planets. When he got a little older, they started showing him all those old space movies – Star Trek, Star Wars, and even the Alien movies. As he grew up, Arin’s faith that humans weren’t the only ones in the Universe continued to grow with him.
At the ripe age of 20, Arin knew that he was right. But the aliens of intergalactic space were not kind.
His parents learned that the hard way.
When Arin was sixteen, his parents were selected as part of the first ever rocket mission into intergalactic space – the Talaria Mission. They, along with six other participants, were equipped with food to last them hundreds of years, space suits, and a two way radio to talk back with Control. Exactly a month after the launch, Talaria went radio silent. The ship and the people on board were never found.
Four years later, Arin graduated from the Space Force Academy. He was going to find his parents, no matter the cost.

Summary
Arin had blindly followed Ras after the tournament of sources, drawn by fake hope and promises weaved in lies. But his decision was now eating him out from the inside, the regret slowly drowning his cries for help.
Arin has changed forever, but does that really mean he is a lost cause? Or can he be saved from his own destruction?
This story is not canon to season 3 of Dragons Rising, but I might add something's from there. I do not own Ninjago even if I wish I did :(

Summary
You’ve seen the crossings between the ninjas, but what if it wasn’t like that? What if we see the world through someone else? And what will he do when everything he knows is the EXACT opposite?! Will he return home and aid in a battle that has been lingering in the back of his mind, or be trapped to stay in a world turned upside down?

Might not post this fic often and may not have a definite ending but I’ll write this just cause there’s barely any full chapters filled Arin focused fics out there and he’s one of my favorites

Summary
‘What was going on? Nothing felt real. Well, it *felt* real, a full body shiver running through his sore limbs. But everything was fuzzy. Surreal. What was going on?’
Morro is resurrected and put back into his own body, right where he left it. He doesn’t know how this happened or why the cloud kingdom likes to fuck with him so much, but if he ever gets a chance to go back he knows he is burning the place to the ground.
He is found not by the ninja but a trio of.. interesting people to say the least - what’s with the cat ears and the horns?? Traveling with new companions Morro tries to convince a boy that reminded him too much of himself to return home, before history repeats itself.
Meanwhile the ninja scramble to figure out where Ras was taking Arin and Sora, they needed to tell them that Ras had lied. They knew where Arin’s parents were.
Little did the ninja know that they would run into a familiar face, one they had thought, had *hoped*, they were never going to see again. Chaos ensues.TLDR
Morro is alive again. The ninja are not impressed. -
