Alas, for the last few nights, everything had been shaky. The resistance tried their best to not let a minor problem like this disrupt their peace.

A certain green ninja was leaning against a pole connecting the small control room and the top towers, he was on the decks and the oni lord had noticed him.

What wasn't known, was the fact that an unidentified visitor managed to get into the sleeping white haired girl's room. They opened the door slowly and—

Garmadon spotted Lloyd, wondering why he was alone. The boy was in fact the resistance's team leader. Therefore, a good leader would be running errands with his team...not remain out here and stare off into the unknown.

"Foolish boy," he mouthed to himself, slowly realizing that he found his feet moving forward. What? Why was he moving forward? This boy, was no ally of his. He had no family—no son.

He stayed rather near to the entrance of the hallways. The thing with onis, they have enhanced healing and strength. He doesn't need to come closer to the boy to hear what he was thinking, even if it was a mere murmur. He listened closely and yet, a small pestering was heard in the distance.

A sigh escaped the green ninja's lips as he rose his head for the tenth time to look at the blue skies. "Rumi, I want to talk to you again. Really badly, you know?" Again, no human could possibly hear such an almost inaudible thought. But Garmadon heard it all.

Following the lines of a simple: "I want to talk to you, I want to talk to you face to face. I want to apologize but I..." oh? Garmadon blinks when Lloyd stops. Did he allow his pride to fall? The green clad ninja whipped his head up from the railings and glared at entrance of the hallways.

Did he spot something? Garmadon rolls his eyes to glance behind him. No, it's not that Lloyd spotted something. The oni lord fixed his look on what's in front of him, the green ninja was now right in front of him with his mask pulled down. Garmadon flinched, stepping back slightly as those serious and agitated green eyes flared at him.

"Did you hear that?" He questioned the four-armed villain. Yes, that was right. They heard a set of barks, it was all coming from Harumi's bedroom door, the sound was loud enough to cross paths with a wooden door. Garmadon nodded gently and with a swift gesture of hand,
two shadowy daggers spawned in his top arms. "Come on, green ninja."

The two of them quietly trotted over to Harumi's room. They'd hoped they'd investigate the source of the noise. No, possibly not source but what has triggered that source to make noise.
"Why do you think Cloud is barking?" Lloyd whispered as they leaned against the wall.

Garmadon shrugged, twirling around one of the daggers with his fingers, it was if he was checking if the blade was sharp enough to harm. Gathering up his courage and assuring that they were both ready to fight, "Let's find out, shall we?" The oni lord used his free arms from beneath his chest to swing open the door.

A shadowy figure turned around at the sight of the front door opening. Garmadon and Lloyd's eyes widened as the matter wasn't so trivial, it seems. They had thought originally that it would be Cloud and Harumi alone in the room. The white Pomeranian stopped barking and instead turned her small head at the saviours, briefly she growled at the unwanted guest.
She would protect her owner at all costs, it seems.

"Oni!" Garmadon yelled out, crouching slightly to ready his weapons. At the moment, he was planning to go all defensive. This was quite a tiny room they were in and it would break not only Harumi's heart to have her room destroyed but the other resistance members would make a pretty big deal about half the ship being obliterated.

Or perhaps, that wasn't quite the reason.
Garmadon didn't recognize this oni, what if this unwanted visitor was able to overpower him? He needed to keep his eyes peeled.
