Enlightening Legacy:

[3P POV]

Theo had seen the memories of the Lady Bone Demon, he had seen inside her head, seen how she thought, seen what she had done and yet even though he saw her actions, he still decided to save her, this wasnt because 'this is something heroes do' or an 'ultimate act of kindness' as Theo wasnt a hero nor a saint, in his eyes he was just a person who cared about his ideals and the people cole to him, thats it. (and sometimes causing a little mischief)

But the Lady Bone Demon, she was a parody of Theo she wasnt afraid to act on her desires on impulse let alone to do it by any means necessary. Theo saw what she did, the amount of people she hurt but even so Theo understood what she was going through, the LBD had lived a long life and so had Theo and in that time they had both seen what the existence of life had brought.

It had been a curse seeing the people sin and cause chaos all around them, and they had both wanted to erase it, but unlike the LBD Theo embraced life rather than resent it an Oni had helped Theo see the light and to understand the beauty of everything.

Theo understood that his ideals were subjectively incorrect on principle, Theo had hated people cause Chaos yet that is one of Theo's favorite hobbies, though commonly just a bit of mischief, Theo also could not just WANT everyone to be good as despite it being a dream come true it is just morally wrong.

Every living being is given their own Free Will [subjectively] and thus people get to choose what they do and that is the greatest blessing ever, if people want to destroy dont endorse it but understand that it is their choice and theirs alone; obviously excluding things like blackmail, mind control etc.

Taking away those choices and those thoughts would be horrible because some things bad come to be something good, so the only thing to do is make people and yourself believe, and as the LBD has seemingly lost hope, Theo must make it his current purpose to pass on a bit of that light, or go down trying.

In a strange white void created by Theo the LBD takes the form of the Ivory Lady, a role she once took on, but modeled more like the host she had just stopped posessing but in a blank white dress and in humanoid form.

"What- what is this place?" the LBD asked to what appeared to be nothing before Theo appeared quite literally out of nowhere "This is my world, quite literally" Theo responds "I am.. Grateful for saving me from erasure, but I am afraid I need to go back and reset my plane of existence, destiny has its–" LBD says is cut off "I understand your feelings" Theo simply says "Feelings on what?" the LBD responds confused.

"I can see your conflicted on the existence of life and that you want to see its end due to the suffering it causes" Theo says; LBD remains silent but wears a stern and serious expression "I wish to prove you wrong" Theo adds on; LBD then slightly grins "And how will you do that?" she asks smugly.

"By doing this" Theo says before moving his right hand to the side, in that motion the white void would start to form around the both of them before it emanates a bright world in Ninjago, though thousands of years in the past.

"What is this place?" LBD asks "Directly? Irrelevant, overall: this is life, something vibrant and blooming in a lush world full of colours" Theo answers "How do you plan to prove me wrong by showing me a simple village?" the LBD asks "Well why dont you look around and see for yourself 'my lady'" Theo imitates the Mayor/War Chief's impression on the last part, however LBD simply overlooks this.

In the town children could be seen playing around before we see one man walking into an unknowns persons house beating on the man within "Please just give me a few more a few more weeks and I swear on my life I will get it paid back, I will, I WILL!" a frightened man begs "Too late for that now, sorry but you brought this upon yourself" another man responds.

"My point is being proven here, life is just a massive disaster waiting to happen, look at what happens when people grow too ignorant if their problems, this happens where these people will end up destroying themselves eventually and everything else around them, thats why I am doing this, thats WHY IT ALL HAS TO RESET!!!" LBD states her ideas bitterly.

"You are absolutely right about life being a disaster" Theo responds flatly; LBD's eyes perk up "Then why do you disagree on my perspective?" LBD asks confused "Because life is not just A Disaster, it is a NATURAL Disaster, and the thing about natural disasters is: well, theyre natural and while you cant stop them, some of them can be controlled in a way, and life is a natural disaster yes, but it is one of those ones that can be controlled, you just have to know how to manage it yourself" Theo explains.

"But the terrified man–" LBD is cut off "Look" Theo simply says; as the angerd man pulls his fist down in an attempt to hit the late-debted man he ceases his assault because of– "P-please dont hurt dad" a little boy says in tears.

The man stops his attempted assault and pulls his fist back "Yo- you–" The man saws as he looks at the scared man who simply nods "Please, please just dont hurt him" the boy asks him desperately, the man's expression changes.

The man sighs "Fine, you have one month and ONE MONTH only, if you dont get the debt paid back by then you'll be thrown onto the streets, understood?" the man looks at the father "Yes, thank you very much" the father responds as the man exits the house.

"Dad!" the kid says with tears still running down his face as he runs into the arms of his father "Hey hey, cheer up! Im right here, all thanks to you" The man said trying to cheer up his son "I was afraid he would hurt you- or worse even–" the boy cannot even finish his sentence as more tears drip down his face.

The father embraces him harder "Hey hey, im not going anywhere for a long while and because of you, son, the long debt can finally get paid off" The dad says with a smile "But- but what if it isnt paid back on time and we get thrown onto the streets?" the boy asks.

"Son, we have never had much, but regardless of this we managed, and we will manage, somehow" the Father says reassuringly which causes the boy to smile "I love you dad" the boy says happily "I love you too, son" the father reciprocates; the LBD is in shock and awe at the same time, but overall completely dumbfounded.

"No- no matter they could have simply been faking to save themselves from the man" LBD says slightly delusioned "Does this seem fake to you?" Theo says, and upon looking upon the people again and their love for each other, the Lady Bone Demon did something she never thought she would have done, she reconsidered her morals and ideals.

"Was this really what I was trying to destroy?" The LBD says with a hint of sorrow in her voice "I- I–" LBD cant think of the words to say "Thank you" LBD says "No problem, and by the way my names Theo" Theo says smiling which the LBD responds with a smile of her own "Lady Bone Demon, but you can call me Saria" LBD says.

"Well Saria, do you want to give life another shot?" Theo asks with his broad smile; Saria reciprocates "Yes, yes I do" Saria responds "But one more question Theo?" Saria asks "Yes?" Theo responds "Was any of that real?" Saria questions.

"The world, no, but the sensations and the love the people here had transcend any mere illusion wether artificial or not, and this type of thing happens a lot to people who dont have much, all it takes is love for each other to make others see a different path, a better path." Theo explains

Saria simply smiles again, but a fully genuine one as she finally understood the greatest thing of all, and in some form, she felt that love for Theo; as soon as the conversation ended Theo undos the illusion by summoning white and golden energy into his palm and doing a circular motion to undo everything.

Back in the real world the entire gang of heroes look upon Theo and LBD/Saria (who decided to stay in her humanoid form) and looked in confusion "You, you helped her?!" an orange haired monkey said to Theo bitterly "Your an imbecile, now she will really destroy us all!" a similar looking Monkey with black shaded hair added on.

"Enough; Its okay, she wont be doing those things anymore" Theo flatly says "What, are you really that easy to manipulate?" 'Pigsy' says "Thats it LBD, your mechs gone and so is your control over the Samadhi Fire, your done!" the orange monkey says as he charged at Saria with hypersonic speeds

"I said ENOUGH!" Theo says as he manages to hold the monkey in place with Golden Power "Its- its true" Saria says "You expect us to believe you after everything that you just did?" the red cloaked humanoid said "No, but im sure Theo can show you my true feelings" Saria says looking hopingly at Theo.

As Saria said that Theo used the power of mind (enhanced with the Golden Power for more efficiency) to show them all her true feelings which despite their suspicion they all seemed to silently agree it felt too real to be some type of magical illusion.

"You, youll really stop? This isnt some type of trick, honestly?" the hulking blue titan-like man said "Yes, yes I will, but I will not stay here as I realized I make too much of a stain on this world, I will finally leave the Universe in peace" Saria simply states.

Saria approaches a stone pillar up ahead "I know what I did was unforgivable, and the suffering I caused to this world was nigh-immeasurable, but do know that I am sorry for all of it now" Saria says as all of them are in silence; Theo releases the orange-haired monkey from his bindings with a snap.

"I know I owe some of you direct apologies but I feel that it would not be needed nor relevant so just know that I regret what I did and I hope you all better lives" Saria adds on; the black haired Monkie, the humanoid in a yellow monkey-inspired jacket, and orange-haired monkey have a look of unsaid acknowledgement in their eyes.

"And you, Theo" Saria says to Theo as he teleports up there in a [quite literal] puff of smoke "Yes Saria?" Theo says; the rest of the people in the area are confused on the name "I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me, those few minutes I have spent have been far FAR more than eye opening and I will be eternally grateful for you letting me truly see the good in life and to let me feel at peace" Saria explains which causes the crew of people to silently look in silence to show their respect.

"And also Theo, you showed my how important Love can really be and the effect it has on others and how that power can change the world" Saria looks happily at the crew of people which they all smile with a knowing understandment "Like these people have here" Saria explains

"But you Theo for everything you did for me, I think I feel some love for you, but a bit more complicated than that" Saria says with a genuine smile before connecting her mouth to Theo's which causes Theo to slightly become a bit red.

"Thank you for everything Theo, I love you" and as she said that she evaporated with the same energy she used for her crystal and bone constructs and peace was finally restored from the looks of things "I love you too Saria" Theo mutters under his breath before he feels his body start to warp.

"Looks like thats it for me too huh? Well wherever you are Saria I wish you the best, and you few, take care of yourselves" Theo says with a bright smile before evaporating and being cut off from this reality.
