Up spree so make sure you keep track of the chapters.

The Ninja land the Bounty in Hollow's Bluff.

"Is this where we'll be living?" Harumi asked

"Just until we know you're safe" Lloyd replied

"Don't you have a headquarters?" Harumi asked worried

"It's too in-the-open. The Sons of Garmadon will be looking for you. We'll need to keep moving" Lloyd said

"Sorry your highness if we new you were coming we would've bought silk sheets for you to sleep on" Aria said sarcastically and Nya held in a laugh

"Aria" Lloyd said annoyed

"Anyway, we know very little about the Sons of Garmadon" Aria said

"I wonder if it's someone from our past" Jay said

Harumi soon finds a pair of underwear on the console "Uh, forgive me, but is that...underwear?"

Jay takes it and chuckles "We're usually more organized. Ahem. But our leader got lost in a time-stream. Uh, they're Cole's"

"They're blue!" Cole shouted

"You're lucky they're not yellow" Aria and Kai said, they high-fived

"What about the suspect captured at the heist in Borg Tower? I can stay behind with Harumi if you wanna press him on who he works for" Nya suggested

"The police have him in custody, but he has refused to talk. He is set for release today" Aria informed them

"Then if Johnny Law can't get him to talk, perhaps Johnny Ninja can" Kai said

The Ninja walk to Mistaké's tea shop.

"Uh, I thought we were in a hurry to get to the police" Jay said confused

"A quick stop. If the perp won't talk, maybe we can get something to loosen his lips" Lloyd said

"Mistake's tea shop, ever since I went from a 10 year old to a 16 year old tea hasn't been my favorite thing in the world" Aria said

"And now we're 18, time flies fast" Lloyd said putting his arm around her waist "come on"

They walk in "Is Mistaké here?"

Mistaké was facing away from them "Never heard of her!" She turned around "Ooh! Apologies, young Lloyd Garmadon. I didn't recognize your voice. Oh, it's so good to see you again. It's been years"

"Hello, Mistaké" Lloyd greeted

"I'm sorry to hear about Master Wu. He was a dear friend" Mistake said

Cole furrowed his eyebrows "Was?" We haven't given up on him. We just have more urgent problems"

"We seek—"

"The Tea of Truth!" Mistake predicted

"she's good" Aria said

She goes to get some, telling them not touch anything and as she returns, Lloyd notices a painting.

"Hm? Ah, yes. The Oni and the Dragon. But you are not ready for that tale" Mistake said

Lloyd shook his head "Please. We need to know"

"It is a long tale. Do you have the time?" Mistake said

Aria's phone started beeping.

Lloyd thought for a moment "Cole and Zane, go to the police with the Tea of Truth and find out who's giving the orders. Jay Aria and I-"

Aria interrupted "I'll pass, I got something to take care of"

"ok Jay and I" Lloyd corrected "where are you going?"

"Well since the royal family of ninjago is dead, I got some work to do" Aria replied

"Like?" Lloyd questioned

"A lot" Aria answered

-

Aria was visiting Borg, who was quickly typing on his computer.

"And done" Borg said "now let me see your card"

Aria went in her purse and pulled out her bank card. She handed it to Borg and he swiped it. He then handed it back to her. He typed a few things and then smiled.

"All set" Borg said happily "all your family's assets were transferred back to you"

"Thanks Borg" Aria said happily

" So are you planning to take over Ninjago?" Borg asked

"That is a matter of secrecy" Aria replied "I'm a ninja sworn to protect the city"

Leaving P.I.X.A.L to watch over Harumi, the Ninja jump off the Bounty into the parking lot of the Sons of Garmadon headquarters. When he tries to escape, Jay electrocutes Mr. E's bike, causing it to temporarily stop working. After he is cornered in an alley, Mr. E puts on the Oni Mask of Vengeance.

He then jumps over a wall and runs into a street. He then leads the Ninja on a chase over the roofs, down another street and into an alley filled with clotheslines. After a short pause, he and the Ninja race up the clotheslines.

Lloyd almost falls but a hand grabs him. He looked up to see Aria pull him up "damn you're heavy"

"Thanks sweetie" Lloyd said before quickly following them

Mr. E gets cornered by Lloyd on a rooftop, but is saved by Zane throwing shuriken and trapping Lloyd. Jay frees Lloyd, but Lloyd recognizes the shuriken.

Lloyd stops the Ninja from chasing Mr. E. "Wait! That was Zane's plan all along... he's just gained their trust"
