I blame u @sadisthetic for drawing that rad gif that made me think of Morro possessing Kai all day!! So take this tiny drabble

Kai regrets going to the museum, but he doesn't regret taking Lloyd's place. His body moving against his will they approached the tea shop, the sun set an hour ago. An agonizing hour where Kai fought the entire way trying to turn around and stop himself from reaching the shop.
But the ghost possessing his body had a determination and raging anger that rivaled his own and he piloted Kai's body against his will towards his family. They shared a head now and Kai knew exactly what Morro wanted, and Morro knew exactly where to get it.
"Kai!" Lloyd shouted emerging from the shop, relief obvious as he and his brothers approached him. "Where have you been? We were worried."
Kai fought with the last of his strength to try and warn his friends, knowing Morro was going to push him far enough down that he couldn't stop what was about to happen. "Run." He choked out as his hands raised against his will. He heard Morro scream in rage before everything for him went dark.
Sorry to all Lloyd fans but I couldn’t resist doing Kai and Morro, I love their parallels too much.
My interpretation of how a "Morro possesses Kai au" would be:
At first it's the usual possession but it's very violent since Kai has a bad temper. Morro agressively possesses him and breaks into Kai’s memories against his will.
But Kai is stubborn and angry and doesn't let Morro hurt Lloyd. So after the fight Morro digs deeper into Kai’s memories to see what he can use against him.
Morro finds himself relating to Kai and tries to manipulate him to betray the ninja and work with him (going as far as to showing Kai his memories)
Kai still refuses to hurt the ninja and shifts the narrative "why go after Lloyd when you can go after Wu?".
Kai basically learnt what Wu did to Morro and him and gets angry and wants to get revenge on him.
Morro is conflicted into what Wu did and his love for his only father figure. But Kai is also conflicted because on one side he relates to Morro but on the other Morro tried to use his body to hurt Lloyd. In the end I think Kai would choose his anger towards Wu and try to convince Morro even if he has to do so by manipulating him because as much as he's empathetic, he knows he can’t save Morro, and can’t get easily over the fact he wanted to harm Lloyd.
It would be interesting that at some point Morro had to fight Kai because he wanted to attack Wu and the ninja of course misinterpret it and still think of Morro as a villain.
To sum up they'd try to manipulate each other and end up exhausted from fighting the possession.
Sketched this after I first watched possession (took me like a month to finish it) ,that scene where they’re snowboarding on the ship remains was just the coolest thing ever
I’m currently on march of the oni and I cannot love this enough
the peak of ninjago media is the story mode of the ninjago world in lego dimensions - bc the ninja are only on screen for literally 2 seconds before they go right back to watching batman & friends torment the other competitors in the tournament of elements.
giant portal and mysterious guests with a penchant for making chen a little TOO excited? normal day in ninjago! nothing to see here. nothing to worry about.
i wanted to make a kai vs morro comic where like.i go through a fun interpretation of how the posession works. but honestly it came out super weird and i rlly hate it
so just have the drawings that took too much work to make instead
it was sposed to be like.woahhh suddenly kai collapses uhh ooo scary morro . posession is like a tug of war between chains. and he was gonna be fully rendered. but uhh i mean you can see all the anatomy mistakes and inconcsistencies im not finishing this maybe will delete
