(In Ninjago City, The Resistance brings a captured Harumi, tied to a chair, to their old hideout.)

Harumi: (Laughs.) Oh, how the tables have turned.

Izzy: For the better, mind you.

Dareth: Yeah, your plan worked. We got Harumi. Now what do we do?

Nya: What if we use her for trade? Our friends in the Kryptarium Prison for her.

Harumi: How does that make you feel, Lloyd? That your father cares for me more than his own son.

Lloyd: (He walks up to her.) My father cares for no one, only his thirst for more power. He won't free our friends. We'll hold on to her until she's valuable to us.

Harumi: My generals have been here before. It's only a matter of time until they find me.

Dareth: I hate to admit it, but she's right. I hope whatever card you have up your sleeve is an ace, because right now, we're about to fold. But don't tell me right now 'cause I think she can hear us. (The door immediately opens revealing Mystake and Skylor.)

Skylor: Found something, in her belongings.

Mystake: I think you need to see this. (Harumi grunts, trying to free herself.)

Nya: Go. I'll keep watch over her. (Lloyd, Izzy, Coral, and Dareth follow Skylor and Mystake.)

Lloyd: What is it?

Mystake: The Oni Mask of Hatred. (Skylor brings it out.) 

Skylor: If your Elemental Power doesn't return, this could certainly help.

Dareth: If it's an ace you're looking for, that's a pair of them. (Lloyd takes the mask.) 

Mystake: But Oni power is Dark Magic. Wield it only at your own peril.

Coral: My grandmother is right. You remember what happened to me don't you?

Skylor: What do you want to do? (Lloyd looks at the Mask of Hatred and throws it at Harumi.)

Harumi: My mask! You're going to steal it?

Lloyd: Save the performance, I'm not going to use it. It's a trap. The only reason someone as smart as her was captured is because she wanted to be.

Harumi: Ooh, very perceptive, Lloyd. You're smarter than you let on. If I can't trick you, perhaps I can deliver a message: Emperor Garmadon will destroy you, and you can do nothing to stop it because you can never change. As much as you want to, you don't have it in you to hurt your dear Poppy.

Dareth and Izzy: You don't know Lloyd!

Harumi: Don't I? Let me ask: How do you see this ending? You can't because there is no happy ending. Once Green, always Green. (Lloyd and Skylor shrug while Coral looks at Harumi with a guilty and hate filled expression.)

(In the Realm of Oni and Dragons, Dragon Hunters follow Jet Jack's beacon. The tracker soon beeps and Jet Jack stops the Dragon Hunters when they reach the border.)

Daddy No Legs: Why are we stopping?

Iron Baron: I don't know.

Daddy No Legs: Didn't Jet Jack place a beacon on the ninja?

Iron Baron: Why did we stop?

Jet Jack: They crossed into Oni territory. You said not to cross that line.
