The Sons of Garmadon took Lloyd to the Temple of Resurrection.
"So this is your true face, without the mask. No wonder you covered it." Lloyd says to Harumi
Harumi growled "Bite your tongue, Green Ninja. The fight is all but over"
"Where are you taking me?" Lloyd questions
"Trapped in the Palace of Secrets all my life, it gave me time to make a few... discoveries." Harumi replies "Yes, I destroyed the palace, but I was careful to make sure it didn't damage the Temple of Resurrection."
"What's the Temple of Resurrection?" Lloyd asks
"It's a place the Empress created," Harumi replies "and you need not know anything else."
"The Ninja have survived. They are in the city" Ultra Violet informs Harumi
"What was that you said about the fight being over?" Lloyd questions smugly
"Let them come. If anyone tries to stop me, I always have my insurance policy" Harumi points to Misako getting thrown into a cage.
"Mom!" Lloyd shouts
"Lloyd? She's crazy. She wants to bring back your father" Misako says
"I've been so looking forward to this...family reunion" Harumi laughs
"Let her go. This is between us" Lloyd says angrily
Harumi smirks "No, Lloyd. There was never anything between us, all you've ever cared for was my sister.. We found her after she tracked down young Wu. Helpful of her. " she turns to the Sons of Garmadon "Prepare the ceremony, we begin at nightfall!"
"I won't let you get away with this" Lloyd says angrily
-
The Sons of Garmadon have Lloyd trapped in another cage.
"What are you doing?" Lloyd questions
"The three Oni Masks alone won't bring back your father. For the ritual to succeed, I also need a hair from the son" Harumi plucks his hair "and from the wife" Mr. E lowers Misako's cage, making Lloyd's go up, she plucks her hair.
"And I already collected one from the brother, dear little Wu. So are we all ready to begin?" Harumi asks
Ultra Violet, Killow, and Mr. E goes to Harumi with the masks. Harumi is holding Aria's spellbook.
"Good. You've brought the masks. Any trouble?" Harumi asks
"Nothing the others can't handle" Killow replies
"Then the ceremony is ready" Harumi smirks
"I get it. I hurt you, and you want to hurt me, but isn't the way." Lloyd says "You don't have to do this. We will stop you."
The Sons of Garmadon laugh.
"You put too much faith in your friends, Lloyd" Harumi says "Place the masks in position."
They did as Killow brings out Aria in the strange metal cuffs.
"Nice of you to join us Aria," Harumi says as Aria glares at her "nothing to say sister? What about some kind last words."
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Lloyd shouts grabbing onto the bars of his cage
"What about some last words to your dear boyfriend?" Harumi questions with a laugh
"Don't worry," Aria smiles to Lloyd "I believe in them."
Killow pushes Aria to the center of the ritual, Harumi binds her to the ground as Aria stood in the middle looking at the masks around her.
"What are they doing with Aria?" Lloyd asks looking scared
"The ritual requires a sacrifice," Misako tells him "their can't be two dark lords, they will use Aria to bring back your father as the Dark Lord."
"Harumi you can't do this!" Lloyd shouts at her
"Oh, I believe I already am," Harumi says as she opens the spell book
Aria smiles to Lloyd as he looked back at her looking panicked.
"Aria," Lloyd says
"Clotho venge. Clotho decer. Clotho haeed" Harumi began as the circle glowed purple
Misako panicked "Lloyd, it's starting. Where are the Ninja?!"
"Clotho venge. Clotho decer. Clotho haeed, Clotho venge! Clotho decer! Clotho haeed. Rip the fabric between realms! As your ruler I call upon you! Connect me to...the Departed Realm"
The portal started opening as Aria's powers were visibly seeping out of her. Aria's eyes looked dull as Lloyd looked around desperately.
"I call upon thee lord of many names. Lord of Destruction! King of Shadows! Lord Garmadon! Garmadon!" Harumi shouts
"Leave them alone!" Lloyd shouts
Suddenly, the wall blew up revealing the ninja and Aria's knights, who's eyes were all glowing dark red.
"In the name of her highness!" Kaname shouts "Knights attack!"
"The Ninja!" Harumi shouts
They submerge Lloyd into the water as the fight broke out. Reika quickly ran and released Aria who immediately passed out into Reika's arms.
"Aria!" Reika panicked as she picked her up
"My son! Help him!" Misako calls out
"Hanabusa!" Reika handed Aria to the knight
Cole runs over to Misako and breaks open her cage as Reika dove into the water. She got to Lloyd's cage, he moved back as Reika quickly cut open his bars. She grabbed onto him and helped him to the surface. The ninja helped the two onto the ground as they coughed up some water.
"Thanks," Lloyd says to her
"Anything for my wife," Reika replies "She'll be upset if you died."
"Right," Lloyd smiles
Lloyd looks over to see the Knights backed into a corner by some of the Sons of Garmadon, Hanabusa was behind them all holding tightly onto Aria. Lloyd quickly uses his energy to create a shockwave that knocked out the Sons of Garmadon and Harumi.
The Commissioner and his forces storm the area to arrest the villains with a screaming Harumi.
"It's over" Lloyd sighs in relief
"Are you alright?" Misako asks rushing over to them
Lloyd looks at his mom "I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry I dragged you into this."
"You didn't drag me into anything." Misako replies "This isn't your fault."
"I should have known. I should have seen through Harumi" Lloyd says
"Your only mistake is that you're trusting, good, and see the best in people" Misako reassures him
"Not anymore" Lloyd looks down
Reika stood up and made her way over to the knights who were crowded around Aria who was awake. Hanabusa placed her on her feet and she smiles.
"Well done everyone," Aria tells them "you came just in time."
"How are you feeling?" Kaname asks her
"I'm fine," Aria replies "I knew you'd all make it."
Hanabusa put his hand on Aria's forehead.
"I'm not sick Hanabusa," Aria swatted his hand away
"The color in your eyes are dull," Reika tells her "it's worrying."
"It'll be fine," Aria pats her on the head "stop worrying wifey."
Lloyd walked over to the group.
"I can still worry though can't I?" he asks
Aria smiled as she wrapped her arms around him. Lloyd hugged her tightly.
"I was so scared," Lloyd says
"I know, but I had faith in the guys," Aria smiles "I'm still right here."
"I just don't know what I'd do if you weren't," Lloyd kisses her hand "I need someone to keep me from doing stupid things."
"I'll always be around Lloyd," Aria says "you have nothing to worry about."
A cop approaches the two "Your highness I'm sorry to interrupt, the commissioner would like to know what to charge your sister."
Aria pats Lloyd's shoulder before following the police officer to the commissioner. Lloyd goes to find Harumi who was being shoved into a cop car.
"Please Lloyd. You were right. This isn't me" Harumi pleads
"Stop. Save it for someone who cares" Lloyd glares at her "It looks like you were wrong. You weren't the one who got away"
Harumi charges at Lloyd but he closes the doors on her.
"The former Jade Princess will be stripped of her title and charged on all accounts," Aria tells the commissioner "the palace will not intervene."
"That's good to hear," the commissioner bows to her "thank you for your service as always, crown princess Aria."
Aria smiles as the commissioner heads to his police, Lloyd and the ninja join Aria.
"You had us all scared to death Aria," Kai lectures "what if we didn't make it in time?"
"Like my brother's would ever let me die," Aria says "besides, my knights are diligent in their work and I knew they'd find you in time."
"I bet this one was scared," Cole says putting his arm over Lloyd's shoulders.
"I wasn't," Lloyd shakes his head before looking at Aria "well, maybe a little."
"Don't worry boys," Aria smiles "I'll always be around."
