In Ninjago City, the Resistance brings in a captured Harumi.
Harumi laughs. "Oh, how the tables have turned."
"Yeah, your plan worked. We got Harumi. Now what do we do?" Dareth questioned me
"What if we use her for trade? Our friends in the Kryptarium Prison for her." Nya put in
"How does that make you feel, Y/n and Lloyd? That your father cares for me more than his own children." Harumi said
"My father cares for no one, only his thirst for more power. He won't free our friends." Lloyd noted
I gave a small nod in agreement. "We'll hold on to her until she's valuable to us."
"My generals have been here before. It's only a matter of time until they find me." Harumi smirked relaxing in the chair
"Found something, in her belongings." Skylor spoke entering the room
"I think you need to see this." Mystake told as Harumi grunts, trying to free herself.
"Go. I'll keep watch over her." I say as Lloyd, Nya, and Dareth follow Skylor and Mystake.
"Do you want to know something?" Harumi asked
"Uh, not really." I blurt out not making eye contact with her, feeling a sense of deja vu, like someone has asked me this before...
"I replaced you." Harumi stated proudly. "I replaced you, when I first met you and said to you how I always wanted to be like you. It wasn't a lie. I wanted to be Lord Garmadon's daughter! And I finally am."
I didn't show it but my heart was shattered. This person that was brought back... is not my father. So then why do I care so much?
"How does that feel?" She inquired for me to stay in silence. "Ha! You can't even speak."
"I could care less Harumi. I'm not the one..." I trail off thinking for a moment. If my father cares so much about her then why isn't he doing anything. It's like she wanted to be captured.
"Save the performance Harumi." Lloyd said coming back and throwing the Mask of Hatred to her feet. "The only reason someone as smart as her was captured is because she wanted to be."
"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." Harumi pouted to him
"You don't know Lloyd!" Dareth shouted
"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." Harumi put in as Lloyd and me shrug to each other in confusion
"But you know me Harumi." I speak up looking in her eyes. "You replaced me, correct? So you know that I will do what needs to be done."
"Maybe, but you changed Y/n. I know you won't do anything thanks to that pathetic boyfriend of yours." Harumi smiled
"And wrong again." I comment watching her expression change to confusion. "Oh right no one told you. Me and Cole are over."
She looked at me skeptical. "You're lying."
"Am I?" I question
"You're lying." She repeated
"I guess you will find out." I shrug stepping back
***
"How can you even be apart of this team when you don't even know what their talking about." Harumi spat
"I can be apart of this team because I know exactly what their talking about. It was my plan." I sigh shaking my head at her. "Lloyd is just going over it. I think you're really gonna enjoy it." I grin at her
"What are you talking about?!" She interrogated
"Harumi, I would like to introduce you to... Harumi." Lloyd presented as Dareth opens the door and Mystake walks in, having transformed into Harumi.
"You think you can pass as me!? Nothing's beneath you." Harumi shouted
"You think you can pass as me!? Nothing's beneath you." Mystake repeated still in her normal voice
"Uh... I think your voice may give you away." Nya replied
Mystake coughs. "Maybe it will sound more convincing..." She transitions into Harumi's voice. "if I talk like this."
"Hey, that's pretty good." Dareth commented
"You'll never get away with it!" Harumi screamed as Nya immediately gags her and turns her chair away. "How about you be quiet, Quiet One? It's time for you to face the corner." Nya remarked
"Remember, you just need to get Skylor to get close enough to touch my father." I remind the two walking up to Skylor and Mystake.
"Once you can absorb his power to control the Colossus, get out of there." Lloyd ordered as Mystake ties Skylor up loosely. They nod.
Mystake and Skylor walk out.
"For the first time, I feel like this could work." Dareth said
"Me too." Lloyd responded
"But... don't jinx it." I add walking up to the roof with Lloyd it was Dareth's turn to keep watch.
"You sure you can trust Dareth?" I ask with a laugh
"Yeah, he's become... more mature." Lloyd spoke unsure
"If you say so." I respond looking at our fathers base
"We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to but-" Lloyd started talking for me to interrupt him. "Cole?" I ask as he nodded a little embarrassed
"It's okay we can talk about it." I say with a small smile. "Well in the realm of Oni and Dragon he left me for dead..." I trail off seeing a scared look on Lloyds face.
"It sounds bad but- it well- it's-" I took a pause thinking. "No yeah that is bad." I admit taking a breath. "I'm sure he didn't mean to. Anyway other than that, nothing else really happened. However before you woke up he told me that my apologies don't mean anything anymore." I shrugged my shoulders acting like it didn't effect me
"But you're gonna get back together?" Lloyd asked hopeful, I didn't give him an immediate answer which caused him to freak out. "Y/n?! You are getting back together?!"
"I don't know! Why do you care so much Lloyd?"
"Because, Cole he's great for you. I mean you're both so focused and serious, but that doesn't sometimes allow your one track minds get the better of you." Lloyd pointed out making me slightly glare at him. "Hey I'm just telling you the truth."
"I've already tried to tell Cole how I feel. It's his turn to come to me. I'm done going to him all the time." I stated
"But you know Cole he isn't well at expressing his emotions." Lloyd defended
"I know... but if Cole really cares he will." I say in a hushed voice
"Lloyd! Help! Y/n oh please!" We hear Dareth scream
The both of us immediately run over, and open the door, to see Dareth in Harumi's place on the chair. "I know this looks pretty bad, I take full responsibility."
"Dareth? Where is she?" Lloyd asked slowly
"I'm sorry the brown ninja couldn't put up a better fight." He sighed shaking his head
"Dareth where did she go?!" I yell at him
"I- I don't know." He stuttered
"This isn't good." Lloyd said with disappointment
"No it's not. She's gone back to father." I replied
"Can you untie me?" Dareth piped up
"No!" Me and Lloyd shout in unison
***
Skylor returns to the Resistance's hideout.
"Skylor!" I run up to her with the rest of the resistance
"Where's Mystake?" Nya asked
"I... I..." Skylor stuttered heartbroken
"She didn't... make it?" Dareth spoke up as she shakes her head. I sigh hitting the wall in frustration. She was the only one who knew about my families past, and now I have no one to answer my questions. More importantly she was my friend, and mentor.
My father took her away, just like everything else.
Nya reacted the same way as me kicking a garbage bag across the room in frustration. The garbage bag hits, moving a walkie-talkie.
Ultra Violet: On walkie-talkie. "Target last seen at the intersection of Nelson and LaMonica."
Killow: On walkie-talkie. "Got it. We're moving in."
"You were followed." Nya noted
"Did you touch him?" I ask hopeful she did
"Yes." Skylor reassured
"Can you control it?" Lloyd replied
"Not sure. But there's one way to find out." We all move up to the the top of the building as Skylor attempts to control the Colossus. The Colossus' fingers move, then spins around.
"Yes! Woo-hoo!"
"Skylor you did it!"
"Yes! Haha. Alright."
"It's working!"
The Colossus walks towards us.
"That's... not... me." Skylor managed to say
"Garmadon is controlling it! We have to go." Nya stated
"You can do this. Take control. Break his hold." I encouraged her
Skylor reached her hand out still struggling. "I... can't."
"Uh... that's close enough for me." Dareth screams and runs into the building.
"We need to get out of here. Your father's too powerful." Nya added
"Control it, Skylor. I have faith in you. You felt his power and now it's yours. You can do it. Control it. Feel his power." I guide as Garmadon prepares the blow. "Control it."
I watched as Garmadon brings his hand down but Skylor manages to stop the Colossus's hand.
Skylor struggles, taking the control slowly. "I'm... doing it."
"Yes! Now use it." Lloyd spoke happily as Skylor yells and takes control. Down below the Resistance, the SoG rides in. Skylor uses the Colossus to step on SoG vehicles.
Ultra Violet puts on the Oni Mask of Hatred. "Now we will have a fight!" She continuously punches the Colossus.
"I wanted to do this for a long time." Skylor smirked as she uses the Colossus to pick up Ultra Violet.
Killow puts on the Oni Mask of Deception and throws cars up at the Colossus. The Colossus blocks them and the cars fall back down towards him. The cars land on him and his mask falls off. He picks up the mask, only to find it broken. Skylor turns the Colossus towards Borg Tower.
Dareth steps out, laughing. "I always knew you could do it."
"It's time to knock the emperor. Off. His. Throne." Nya said with a smile. The Colossus reaches base of tower and starts to climb. Garmadon struggles and panics in realization as he tries to take back control.
"Yes! Woohoo!" I cheered and the Colossus continues to climb. Garmadon continues to struggle.
Skylor raises the Colossus' right hand while Garmadon tries to take back control. Skylor struggles but swings the Colossus's hand down. I watched as he slowly gains control of the Colossus. Skylor struggles to bring Colossus's hand down again.
"Something's wrong." Nya commented as Skylor continues to struggle.
Both Skylor and Garmadon lose control and The Colossus falls down. "No." I whispered as people run away screaming.
"My father's power. It's too strong." Lloyd said and she tries to regain back her control. "I can hold on." Skylor spoke determined, making my stomach uneasy. The Colossus turns towards Garmadon. They both shake off the power but Garmadon immediately takes control.
"His power. It's hurting her!" Lloyd shouted
"I—"
Garmadon tries to regain his control. The Colossus wobbles and crashes into the building People run away screaming for their lives.
"Let go, Skylor! Let go!" I yell shaking at her arm and see Skylor's eyes turn purple.
"She can't." Lloyd said as he pulls Skylor away from the side of the building. "His power will kill her."
The Colossus finally falls on the building, where Harumi is standing.
"Rumi..." Lloyd whispers as everyone watches the building fall.
I could see my dad from the tower he bowed down and then got up in anger. "He cared for her?" I managed to breathe out as he marches the Colossus towards us
Nya shakes Skylor. "I—I can't wake her up. It's like his power poisoned her."
"Whoa whoa whoa, Doctor of Dark Arts. Should any of us really be making a diagnosis?" Dareth questioned
"No. Nya's right. I think the only way to save Skylor is to get his power out of her." I say and try to help Skylor.
"I don't know anything about that. But I do know what's coming our way!" Dareth shouted and everyone except Skylor looks up to see the Colossus approaching us.
