Lessons For A Master
The colossus struck building to building, following Garmadon's enraged commands. It came closer to Nya, Dareth, Skylor, and Lloyd in the process.
Dareth looked away from the colossus and towards his friends, "Guys, we need to go! Pronto!" He yelled.
Lloyd looked to the colossus before shaking Skylor again, "Skylor, you have to wake up."
"We have to run." Nya said while helping Lloyd.
"Run?!" Dareth gasped, "One of us can't even stand!" He pointed out.
Everyone turned to look at the colossus which picked up a car and got ready to throw it at the remaining Resistance. Lloyd picked up Skylor and threw her over his shoulder, "Let's move!" he yelled.
A car was thrown at the doorway leading out of the building they were on. Dareth fell on his back from the impact. They all look back to see the colossus hammering a blow on the building they were on. They immediately run towards the nearest building they could jump to.
"Jump, Dareth!" Nya uttered.
Another car was thrown at them, barely missing them by a few inches. Dareth jumps towards the other building very sloppily and almost missed the landing. He stumbles and ends up hanging on the side. Nya jumps next and helps Dareth up just before he fell off to his doom. Nya and Dareth both look up at Lloyd.
Lloyd looks at the jump and knows that he won't make it with Skylor on his back. "Throw her over!" Nya shouted, getting ready to catch.
Lloyd shook his head, "That's not going to work." He looks at the colossus waiting to make a blow.
"Lloyd! No!" Nya gasps, Dareth beside her.
Lloyd jumps into the air as the Colossus punches the building. He lands on the Colossi's fist. Garmadon sees Lloyd and tries to throw him off. Lloyd runs across the fist, landing on the building with Nya and Dareth coming to their aid.
"Lloyd! Yes!" Dareth cheers as they landed.
Dareth helps Lloyd get up and Nya helps Skylor onto Lloyd's shoulder. The colossus roars at them. The two Ninja run off while Dareth whimpers before running after them. They all run down the stairs and out of the building, onto the streets.
Garmadon pants, "You think you can hide from my wrath?!" He screams and uses the colossus to punch the building the Resistance were just on. "I'll destroy every building to find you!"
The colossi punches again. Nya, Dareth, Lloyd run through an aisle to stop at another street. Lloyd puts Skylor down and leaned her on a block. Nya and Dareth run towards Lloyd and saw the news. Gayle Gossip was on.
"Everyone should leave the city at once! Nowhere is safe!" She announced before everyone heard the colossus roar.
"Ever since Garmadon lost Harumi," Dareth started, panting, "He's lost his marbles!"
Nya nods, "Dareth's right. He's not going to stop until he finds us."
Lloyd looks down and frowns, "I know."
"There's only one thing that can withstand that. I ditched the Battle Wagon across town. If we can get to it..." Nya trailed off before saying, "We can leave the city."
Lloyd looks at her in disbelief, "Leave the city?!" He asked.
"Just until things calm down." Nya tries soothing him.
Lloyd still looked hesitant about doing it. He looked at citizens running around the city in fear. Dareth spoke up, proving Nya's point, "Lloyd, I'm with Nya. Mistaké said we needed to survive until the Ninja got back. Well, where are they, huh? There's no shame in knowing when to turn tails."
Lloyd sighed, hesitantly agreeing, "Okay, we go for the Battle Wagon." He grunted while picking up Skylor again, "But we're not skipping town. We hold on for as long as we can." Nya and Dareth run and Lloyd looks up, "Where are you guys?" He said before running. He stopped to look back at Borg Tower, "I'm sorry, Rumi." He frowned before catching up to the others.

The colossus roared, smashing down yet another building. Ultra Violet was on the phone with someone while holding the Mask of Hatred, "Ugh. I'm missing all the action. Will you just come and get me?!" The person on the other side of the phone asked something and UV answered, "I don't know. It must've thrown eight, maybe nine blocks." He asked something again, "Yeah, it hurt."
Nya and Lloyd hold Skylor while Dareth trailed behind them, "The battle-wagon is just up ahead." Ultra Violet paused and listened, surprised, in her call. Nya, Dareth, Lloyd realized the quietness and turn around only to find Ultra Violet on the phone looking at them in surprise, gasping. Dareth gasped and points frantically at her in shock.
UV was also too shocked to say anything. The Resistance kept going, trying to ignore Ultra Violet's presence.
Ultra Violet grins evilly at them and drops the phone. Running to them, she mockingly calls out, "Heh, heh. Green Ninjaaa!"
Nya lets go of Skylor, "Go. Get to the battle-wagon." She orders, getting ready to fight.
"No. We stay together." Lloyd insisted but Nya shook her head.
"Not this time. Now, go!" She gets into a battle stance.
Dareth takes Nya's place and helps Lloyd hold Skylor up. From behind, they could hear UV and Nya's conversation and fight. Lloyd looks back at Nya and Dareth saw it.
"If we want to help Nya, we need the Battle Wagon." Dareth said to Lloyd. He looked hesitant but eventually went off to get the large, bulky vehicle.
They continue walking to where they assumed the Battle Wagon was, but when they got there, they gasped. "Where is it?" Dareth asked.
"Nya said it was right here. It should be around here somewhere." Lloyd insisted, looking around. He set Skylor down near a wall, "Search around this place. It can't be far."
Dareth nodded and they searched the place for the Battle Wagon. Nya couldn't hold off Ultra Violet for long when she has the Oni Mask of Hatred in her possession. Lloyd was looking around when he spotted something. Ruins.
He looked up and noticed the place. This was the building that Harumi fell with. He felt tears coming to his eyes and he couldn't stop them from coming out. Dareth noticed Lloyd sobbing and came to him.
"Lloyd? Something wrong, buddy?" He asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Lloyd sniffed and wiped his tears away, "No, nothing. It's just that... This is where Harumi died." He pointed out.
Dareth quietly gasped, "Oh..." he whispered, "Sorry, Lloyd. I know she was really special to you. I'm sorry you had to endure this."
"It's fine." Lloyd reassured, "Let's just go back to finding the Battle Wagon."He shrugged his own pain away.
Dareth raised a brow but eventually followed. That was until they both heard someone coughing rapidly. It was from a female, they could tell. They both looked at each other in worry before they decided to run to the source. It was beside the collapsed building. The coughing was coming from some bushes not far from the ruined apartment.
Lloyd slowed down to look at the building before running again. The female that was coughing made the bushes rustle and Lloyd got in a stance in case they attacked. The girl stood up and crawled out of the bush. Lloyd gasped and Dareth just gaped, "Impossible."
Lloyd shook his head, "Am I dreaming?" He asked.
The girl in front of him was indeed Harumi. She had somehow survived the fall by jumping into a pile of bushes which softened her landing and she was mostly unharmed. She had a few scratches on her and her hair was a mess.
She shook her head, "Lloyd." Her eyes narrowed.
"Harumi... How?" He asked.
She giggled, "I have my ways." There was a brief silence and Dareth backed up a little to see how this would end. "Lloyd." She started and Lloyd looked at her, "I wanted to say that... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything I did." She looked down in shame, "Would it be possible for you to give me a second chance?" She asked.
Lloyd looked at her, uncertainty in his eyes. "Action speaks louder than words. What you've done to me and my friends was crossing the line. You need to prove you're sorry." He was about to walk away but Harumi grabbed his hand, making his heart flutter, but he pushed that feeling aside.
"I can help you. I will help you defeat my- your father, Garmadon. I'll turn against the Sons of Garmadon and help you." She said slowly.
Lloyd carefully turned to look at her, "How do I know you're not deceiving me again?" He asked suspiciously.
Harumi shook her head, "Unfortunately, you can't." Lloyd was about to say something about that but Harumi added, "But I will help you. Starting by helping you get to the Battle Wagon."
Dareth ran up to her, "You know where it is?" He asked.
She nodded, "My gang hid it after you left it here. And I know where it is. Come on!" She led. The two hesitantly follow since it could be a trap. Much to their surprise, Harumi did lead them to the Battle Wagon.
They all got on and Lloyd invited Harumi to join them, "To prove yourself, you need to come with us." He smiled and Harumi smiled back at him. She was still in her Quiet One outfit so hopefully, that could scare some of the SoG members if they see her.
They all drove back to where Skylor was to pick her up. After that, they all drove towards Nya. Technically, Harumi was driving and she gasped when she saw that Ultra Violet was about to kill Nya who was stuck under a car. She hit the gas and launched the Battle Wagon at maximum speed, hitting Ultra Violet through a wall.
She felt guilty for having to do this but it was the only way to prove that she wanted to change. Lloyd and Dareth exited the wagon and came to Nya's aid. Harumi still didn't want to reveal herself yet, especially not to Nya.
From the corner of her eyes, she could see UV getting up, enraged. She flipped over the broken wall and the mask broke into two pieces. She screams and wobbly walks to them.
"Does she ever quit?" Nya asked.
Harumi shook her head, "I'm gonna regret this." She thought before she jumped out of the Battle Wagon in front of Nya and the others. "Ultra Violet doesn't quit." She stated.
She heard Nya gasp, "Harumi?!" She asked, clearly mad. Harumi could mentally see Nya fuming at the sight of her.
Harumi ignored her and saw that UV was shocked to see her, "Stand down, Ultra Violet." Harumi ordered. When it looked like UV was about to hesitate, "That is an order!" She roared.
Ultra Violet complied by collapsing on the floor. Nya looked ready to explode all over Harumi but couldn't due to her hurt shoulder. The Sons of Garmadon gang drives in and starts surrounding them. Most of them were shocked to see the Quiet One alive, but Harumi responded to that by saying.
"I am not the Quiet One! I am Harumi." She stated. "Now, stand down." She ordered.
They start chuckling, "We take orders from Emperor Garmadon and the Quiet One."
"And something tells us that you aren't doing that anymore."
"And you just said that you weren't the Quiet One anymore."
Harumi gasped and backed up into the Resistance. Knowing that it isn't the time to fight each other, they all got ready in a battle stance. It kind of hurt Harumi that the gang that she created didn't want to listen to her anymore since she isn't the Quiet One.
It just reminds her that she was just as dumb as the other villains before her. So naive, thinking that bringing back a fully evil, heartless lord would fill the hole in her heart. Turns out, all she needed was friends. Friends who could help fill the void in her heart.
Or maybe Lloyd could help her? She doubted it since she broke his heart. But maybe this redemption attempt could change his mind? She sighed.
She has a long way before the Ninja would forgive her, but she will hopefully get them to trust her again by helping them defeat the evil she brought back. Whether she ends up back in Kryptarium or not? That's up to the Ninjas.
She was just hoping that this won't be her last fight.
