They all stood outside the temple of resurrection. They had no idea how the plan was gonna go, and if they were even gonna surive but. They knew they needed to do this. For their friends, and they didn't have a choice. If Harumi didn't come then her friends would be killed, and she could never forgive herself. She would NEVER forgive herself.
She let out a sigh, and Jade placed a hand on her shoulder, and pulled her to an alleyway away from the others. "Are you alright?" He looked at her dead in the eye as she took a look at her. "You seem nervous, Are you worried about your friends?" Her vocie was soft and she gave her an genuine smile. Harumi sighed as she brushed her hand away and then crossed her arms.
Who was Jade to care, what she was feeling, No one cared she was always alone, and that's how it always gonna be. She scoffs and then looked at Jade. "I'm fine Jade, Don't worry about it Jade" she says. Jade however shook her head. "Your not okay! Your obviously upset about something! Please tell me what's wrong" Harumi was slient as Jade took a few more steps forward, she heard Her footsteps walking towards her softly clinking on the floor as she walked over. "Harumi, please I'm your friend, I wanna help you! But I can't if you don't tell me what's wrong"
Harumi kept her back towards her, It was fake it was all fake, she couldn't belive her, it would only take one lie for her and Everyone to be against her. Just like what happened before the oni invaded, and Garmadon lied ruining her life. "Harumi?" Jade asked softly. "Are you oka—" she never got to finish her sentence as Harumi in anger cut her off. The air around them became thick, and even though Jade could still breathe she felt like she couldn't as She saw Harumi the turned around, and her eyes turned purple, and purple was seen on her palms.
"Ive already told you Jade! I'm FINE!" She yelled. As the lightbulbs in the street lights shattered making, the poor blonde haired girl jump. Scared, and ducking just in case the shields inside the street lights shattered and the glass flew towards her. Once everything went silent she couldn't help but look at the white haired girl.
Not liking her sudden outburst. "Harumi, please I'm your friend. can tell me If something is wrong". Jade says as she puts a hand on her hip. Harumi looked away shaking. She felt like she was a gonna collapse at any moment she felt, really weak for some weird reason. "Jade I—" she started to say when she fell to her knees, and Jade panicked, running over to her and to her side. Panick was written on her face, as she didn't know what to do.
"Harumi! Oh my goodness, are you okay? What's going on?!" Jade asked. The nighttime wind swirled around them, as they both stayed silent, the wind could only be heard,along with Harumi breathing heavily. They stayed like this for a few minutes until Harumi's breathing stabilized, And Jade felt it was safe to approach but she couldn't of been more wrong,. She stepped forward, and reached her hand out towards Harumi to help her to her feet.
"Here, let me help you u—" she started to say. When Harumi slapped her hand away. "Don't touch me!" She said with an animalistic snarl, making Jade back away, she was starting to get very afraid. Jade took a step back, and Harumi got to her feet and then looked at Jade. "Don't tell anyone what happened here, I'm FINE You got it?!" She yelled, before she walks over to go back and find the others, leaving Jade all alone In the darknesses of the street. The blonde sighed, and knelt down to look at the broken shards of glass, and only one thought came to her mind. 'What is going on with Harumi'
She sighed, and she was about to walk back to join the group, when suddenly she heard a noise making her go on high Alert. She took Greta out, and held her defensively, and looked around the darkness of the street. No one was outside, many were inside in bed.
Sleeping or doing night shifts at work, but none should be outside, that would be incredibly dangerous. She held her bat out. "Who's there?" She asked, the sounds of nighttime were getting closer and louder, and So then Jade asked again. "I said who's there!" she yelled, as it got closer, and Jade had her bat above her head, ready to Swing at anyone who thought of attacking her.
As the sounds got louder, suddenly she got a tap on her shoulder, and Jade swung her bat with her night and knocked whoever it was back. She was preparing to swing again when she heard a voice a familiar voice. "Jade what the heck?! Why did you do that!" A voice asked, and the blonde raised an eyebrow. "Kaitlyn?" she asked.
As she slowly put her bat down, and to confirm her suspicion, a lantern turned on, revealing Lilla, who was holding said lantern. And Kaitlyn who was holding her nose, very angry at being hit in the face with the wooden bat. Jade blushed red, and the lowered the bat.
"Kaitlyn! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to—" she started to say when Kaitlyn cut her off. She got close to Jade and raised her arms up dramatically "What the heck was that for?! And why are you all alone in the dark?" She asked as she looked around, "I thought you hated the dark". She asked as she took a look at their current surroundings, it was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and it was silent verysilent, and they knew Jade hated being in the dark, and being alone, especially in slience.
The girl just sighed as she turned around, and just wouldn't speak it seemed like something was bothering her, and even if they've only been Friends for what feel like three years now, Lilla thinks she knew exactly what was going on with her friend, she walked over, and placed a hand on The blondes Shoulder. "Did Harumi say something?" She asked as she took a wild guess. Jades blue eyes widened, as she then turned away not knowing how she figures it out so quickly but signed. "Yes it's Harumi" she said as the two looked at each other, and then looked at her.
What exactly happened now , and why did Jade look upset, and not making eye contact, She usally looked so happy and upbeat but she looked sad, and not wanting to talk to anyone, Infact Lilla only recalls her acting this way was when... someone screamed at her. Lilla's eyes widened, and looked at Jade. "Jade who yelled at you? And there's so point in lying I know you too well by now, and I know someone yelled at you, I can tell from the look on your face". The blonde sighed, and turned her head away.
How was she supposed to break this gently. "I-I- I I got yelled at by Harumi" she said as she looked away she seemed really upset but she tried to hide it. The brunette and rabe haired girl looked at each other, and Kaitlyn then spoke up. "Why did she yell at you? What did you do this time?" She asks knowing how Jade could be at times, and wondered what she did to tick Harumi off. Jade looked away, and then sighed. "I just asked if she was okay!" She explained, as she turned away her back towards her friends.
"She was acting very strange, and I was worried about her, she fell to her knees and I went to offer a hand to help her and...." Jade let's out a shaky sigh. "She said don't touch me! And then some weird stuff happened". Lilla raised an eyebrow. She was the logical one in the group, the one who could find stuff out quickly, and make sure everyone was doing what they we're supposed to do, and She wondered what Jade exactly meant by weird.
Since with this whole adventure so far they have experienced plenty of weird stuff. Befire Lilla could even ask Jade to define werid, Kaitlyn beat her to it. "Uh huh" she asked sounding skeptical. "Define weird for us please". Jade turned back towards her friends, and then looked scared. "I went to try and help Harumi up; and she said don't touch me! And then her eyes turned purple, and the glass blubs in the streets lights broke".
The two looked at each other not knowing if Jade was telling the truth or not, but then again why would Jade lie about this, about Harumi having purple eye, and her being able to blow out all the street lights blubs. "I mean there has to be a logical explanation for this right?" Jade asked as she took a step forward towards her friends. "I can't be imagining it?" Lilla thinks and then gasped. "What If Harumi was somehow part oni, like Garmadon, and Lloyd!" She says thinking she found the answer however, Kaitlyn shook her head.
"That isn't possible, you can't just cherry pick your genes! And Lloyd, and Harumi aren't siblings, and Garmadon isn't her father So they don't make any sense". Jade looked at Kaitlyn, "But what do if somehow she does have it even if she isn't related to them!.... What if something happened that caused her to be part oni" she tells Kaitlyn. Who pondered it over and then sighed. She had to admit it did seem like the most logical explanation she wasn't gonna lie.
The three girls stood in slience as the cold night air was surrounding them, and they heard the rustle of trees, and some other noises they couldn't quite understand or hear. Kaitlyn spoke up first: "So we figured that out but, How did it happen? That's the million dollar question here, I mean we all agree something had to had happen for her to become part oni right?"
Jade nods, "Yes, but here's another question, how does one be become an oni? I mean I thought you had to be born that way like Garmadon, and Lloyd, So how did Harumi become one? It doesn't make sense". Lilla thinks about it, and goes over the possible answers but none seem to make the most sense. They all go slient, and then that's when Jade decided to speak up. "I know we are trying to figure this out but, we have to focus on the bigger picture".
The two looked at her and wondered what she is talking about. "We have to focus on helping Harumi, she's obviously going though something" she tells them. "If you take one look at her, you can see she's upset or mad you can see it in her face, so we have to try and help her the best we can". The two girls looked at her and that's when Lilla Spoke up. " I have to agree with Jade, Harumi I almost feel Harumi is trying to hide something, or Trying to prove something even if she doesn't need too".
As the girls were talking, They had no idea that people were looking at them from above a building, but the girls had no idea it was happening, because The girls were too busy talking and they didn't really looks at their surroundings. On the rooftop. "When do we get to attack! I'm getting restless" Ava whined, as she Matis, Crux, and Chen. Matis rolled his eyes, and looked at Ava. "Be calm Ava, you know Zephry would want us to patient".
The female sorcer, stood up and from her laying down postion and growled. "I'm tired of waiting!" She says as she looked down at the girls." I mean look at them, they are begging for an attack!" She says as she paced around and then she smirked. "I'm going down! She tells them, as she went to jump down but matias, grabbed her before she got far. "And what would Zephry say, if we did the plan early?" He asked as he pulled her back up. "He'd punish you! You know this Ava!"
The man rolled his eyes, his cape following in the wind, and soon they once again just laying down searching for the time that it was right to attack the girls. They had no idea when the moment was gonna come but they hoped it came soon. Ava was on the edge of her seat, she wanted to go and attack them already she hated being contained, she wanted to show those girls who's boss, and she couldn't do that if she was stuck up here, she growled and just Waited for the right time to attack.
With the girls they looked at each other, and their hair blowed in the wind. They all were slient when Jade had told them something was wrong, and had a bad feeling they were gonna be attacked. Kaitlyn looked around and didn't see anything and just thought Jade was being paranoid, and was about to speak on it, when suddenly they they heard a noise and when they turned they saw An arrow flying through the air, and narrowly missing Jade. Who's eyes widened at the sight.
Lilla looked at Jade, and seeing her almost get hit by an arrow, and she looked afraid. "What the heck?!" She asked, as suddenly more arrows started to rain down on them. The girls saw the villains on the rooftop, that held the arrows preparing to attack them. "Girls! We're under attack!" She yells, as she passed out their weapons, and Jade grabbed her baseball bat tightly in her hand. Lilla looked at the girls, and then said: "Jade, Run and get The others! We need their help if we are gonna need their help"
Jade nods, and as She went to leave her friends to go get the others. She ran as fast as she could, back into the lighted streets, as arrows still came for her, and matias chasing her from the rooftops. as she soon finally found: The others who were still handing outside the temple making the plan. "Guys!" Jade yelled. They all turned and saw Jade standing there looking worried, and out of breath. The green ninja gave her a look and then asked: "Jade? What's wrong?" She asked
Before Jade could say something, a figure cam down and using the hilt of Lilla's weapon knocked her unconscious, and The group gasped, and got into defensive stances. Lloyd went in front of Harumi and growled. "Get away from us now or suffer the consequences". But the people laughed at the threat, and they knew he couldn't do anything, because he was too weak.
"Come now, Now Zephry wants to see you. Don't keep him waiting" Harumi turned afraid but she wouldn't admit it. She looked away and then Lloyd bares his teeth his oni side threatening to put in a moment If they tried anything.
Lloyd told Harumi to run away, and don't look back, to don't worry about them, they'll be fine but she needs to go now but of course Harumi refused. "Your crazy if you think I'm gonna leave you!" She says hands on her hips. "I don't want you to die because I was stupid and left!"
She says, Lloyd pulled her close and tucked a strain of hair behind her ear and kissed her nose. "We will be just fine, Rumi but you need to leave, please Rumi" she saw the pleasing look in his eye and sighed: "Be safe Lloyd" she went to take off and run but not eating for the past few days, and not sleeping for the past few days because she was afraid of nightmares.
She started swaying, and holding her head. The world got dizzy around her, and she suddenly felt really cold when she saw the world go dark, and the last thing she heard was Lloyd calling her name before she blacked out.
"Harumi!"
