✿The Return of Jadeite's Sister✿Lloyd x F!Reader✿(Book 3)

✿Chapter 16: The Spider's Design✿

Lloyd: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Harumi: "You don't have to pretend with me. You're part Oni, like your father, Garmadon. That's the strong part."

That ticked off Lloyd...

Lloyd: "I am nothing like my father."

Then, the sound of an alarm beeping was heard as everyone looked at the computer. Elijah pressed on the cameras of the crystal spider as he saw the other ninja looking around the tunnels. This gave Lloyd some hope.

Lloyd: "It's over, Harumi. They're going to find your little subway station and it's only matter of time before they find this place."

Harumi: "Oh, no! What am I gonna do?"

Harumi looked panicked but then, she looked at Lloyd with a grin.

Harumi: "Oh, wait. I planned for this. In fact, I was counting on it. Which is why I left behind a little surprise for your friends. Elijah... would you please do me a favor and-"

Elijah: "Got it."

Elijah pressed a button as many many crystal spiders were activated and started to head over to the other ninja. Elijah gave a small grin to Harumi as he looked excited and watched all the crystal spiders approach the other ninja.

Harumi: "There's too much at stake, Lloyd. I left nothing to chance. I'm sorry."

Lloyd watched in fear as the crystal spiders started to get close to the other ninja. Elijah's looks at Lloyd.

Elijah: "What's wrong, Greenie? Are you afraid of the outcomes? That your friends might die?"

Elijah laughs as Harumi spoked to Lloyd.

Harumi: "Any last words? Say them now."

Lloyd: "You can't do this! Turn it off! Harumi! Please!"

Harumi: "I can't, Lloyd. I mean, I could, technically, but I won't."

Harumi was about to press the button as Lloyd continues to beg her to not do it.

Lloyd: "I'll do whatever you want! I promise! Just don't hurt them!"

Harumi: "Lloyd, you're not exactly in a position to bargain."

The cell door starting clanking as Lloyd tries to escape the cell. Elijah had an idea as he pulls up the picture of (Y/n) and Lloyd as well as the video of the other ninja. Lloyd stops shaking the cell as he looks at the picture of him and (Y/n) smiling.

Elijah: "It would be a shame if you have to choose between your friends or the one you love. Oh wait... you do."

Harumi secretly armed the crystal spiders as they were now spider bombs. Lloyd had a choice... his friends or the one he loves.

Lloyd: "Don't do this..."

3...

Lloyd: "I beg of you..."

2...

Lloyd: "Harumi! No!"

1...

"Bang."

Elijah and Harumi pressed on the buttons as they activated the bombs and activated the project. In the laboratory, the scream of agony was heard as they were shocked with many bolts of electricity. And in the subway tunnels, the bombs went off as it destroyed the subway tunnel where the other ninja were. Harumi and Elijah looked back at Lloyd as Lloyd was in complete despair...

Harumi: "They're gone, Lloyd. I'm sorry."

Lloyd: "How could you?"

In Lloyd's eyes... he felt like he just lost almost everything. His friends and the one he loved the most. He thinks about (Y/n) and what she would say but she's gone... what now? Lloyd asked himself.

Harumi: "But there's no reason for you to be destroyed too."

She started walking towards his cell as Mister F and Elijah stayed still next to the computer.

Harumi: "You can still join us. There will be a place for you in the dark."

A tear ran down Lloyd's cheek as he looks at Harumi in anger and hatred. He once liked Harumi but she went to far this time. He started to try and get out of the cell as Harumi sighs.

Harumi: "Lloyd. Focus. What's done is done. You have a choice now. You can resist and perish like your friends, or you can join us and embrace the power of the Crystal King. Just like Elijah, Jalen, and-"

Lloyd: "Never! I'll resist you with every ounce of my being! And so will Master Wu and Nya and Pixal!"

Harumi: "Not for long they won't. I told you, I left nothing to chance. I plan to delay with your friends next."

"It's all apart of my design."

That made Lloyd go off the edge as his eyes turned purple as he embraced his hatred towards Harumi. He slams around the Vengestone cage as Elijah was surprised by this and stepped back.

Elijah: "What... the f*ck?"

Soon enough, Lloyd broke out as Harumi gave him a grin. Mister F and Elijah started to charge at Lloyd but they both got kicked back to the computer as Elijah's spider arms stabbed into the system, malfunctioning some parts of the projects.

Lloyd throws the cell door at Harumi as she blocks it with her katana. Lloyd walked on the wall as he started to attack Harumi with so much hatred in him. He pushes her back a Harumi smirks.

Harumi: *Chuckles* "That's the spirit! Just like your father! Anger makes you stronger!"

Lloyd: "Don't. Say. THAT!"

Lloyd's powers turned purple as he disarmed Harumi and took her down. He was about to fire at her until he realized what was happening to him.

Lloyd: "No... No!"

Lloyd make his anger go away as he fears that he will become just like his father. Elijah fires at Lloyd from behind as he knock him out. Harumi gets back up as she smirks at Lloyd.

Harumi: "Welcome back, son of Garmadon."
