"And this is for succeeding our mission." The water ninja smiled, raising her glass of fruit punch. It was the best thing that Misako and Skylor could find in the opened markets of Ninjago at the moment. Plus, not many of the elemental masters drink so they could all settle on fruit punch. Karlof smiled back, raising his glass with his strong metallic gloves. "It is an honour, for Karlof to be fighting alongside ninja." he replied to the water ninja's statement. The others all nodded and cheered. "Seriously though, how were you guys able to pull that off? Weren't there maximum security by the Borg tower?" Kai asked, genuinely confused. Lloyd shrugged but managed to keep his triumphant happy expression on despite the risky question. "I don't know. I thought my dad would have hired better guards..but to be honest, they were easy to pass through. The only real obstacle here was Harumi herself." the green ninja responded.
Kai took a bite of his meal and lifted an eyebrow. "But she didn't get in your way too much, right? " he questioned. Lloyd shook his head right after. "Nope, not at all,which is surprising. " he admitted. He really expected the second in command to be toughest obstacle when it comes to delivering a message to Ninjago city. However, he found that the mission was quite easy. Even young Wu could do it. He didn't want to jinx himself for any future missions though.
As the elemental masters were finished with their main course. Dareth stepped outside of the garbage depot's small kitchen while holding a plate of freshly baked small cakes. With a smile, he walked over to the people and let them serve themselves. One comment in particular by an elemental master made his heart stop for just a second. "Hey! You baked these?" It was Turner biting into one of the humid temperatured pasteries with an expression of shock. The brown ninja blushed profoundly. "They taste horrible don't they?" he asked almost in a whisper. The elemental master of speed shook his head and swallowed before he stood up from his chair. "No! These are fantastic! " he paused to nudge his friend Neuro, who was also trying out the baked pastery. "Right Neuro?" Turner's shoulder hit the master of the mind in a spot he was sensitive in. That caused the man to drop his small cake right back on his plate. He then faced the baker himself. "Delicious." He smiled. Dareth's blush became more prominent. "Aw thanks guys. No one has ever said that about my baking before. Probably because I barely bake." He replies. Turner and Neuro smiled. "Keep baking. You're amazing at it!" They encouraged. Dareth placed the plate in the center of the table, letting anyone grab a second one if they desire. Once his arms were freed, his arms quickly made their way to Turner and Neuro's figure. Both arms catching the elemental masters in a kind embrace.
"I'm so happy to have friends like you guys." He commented.

"Misako!" A child-like voice called the green ninja's mother by another table, away from the elemental masters. The old woman responded to the call by looking around until she found young Wu waving at her with an expression of interrogation. She walked closer to him until she could hear him properly. "Yes, what is it my child?" She used a small nickname on him. Wu, seeming to not question the nickname at all. She was glad because even though Wu wasn't her child and yet, her previous admirer, she still had the guts to give him that name. "Is there more tea?" He asks in a soft voice. His cup was empty, seeming he has drank all the tea Miskao gave him for supper. The woman chuckled. "Oh my dear, I believe that's enough tea for you enough." She reminded and patted his back gently.
Wu looked down but a smile was brought back to his lips when Misako pulled him in for a hug.
When they pulled away, Wu put his cup back on the table and yawned. Misako noticed that and giggled. "I think it's time for bed now." She coaxed him to grab her hand. In which the child accepted. As they walk towards the garbage depot's custom dormitories, the green ninja got off his chair and walked towards his mother and young uncle. "Hi mom, where are you going?" The blonde asked, genuinely curious. Misako smiled. "Just putting young Wu to bed, my son." She replied lovingly. Lloyd nodded and smiled. "Alright, have a good night Wu." he patted the boy's head. Young Wu giggled and walked over to Lloyd and wrapped his small arms around the green ninja's waist in an embrace. Lloyd's eyebrows lowered as bliss took over him. He bent over and hugged the child back. After that, Misako gestured Wu to come back to her and together, they walked towards the child's bedroom.
Nya saw it happen and smiled as she cleaned up the dirty plates. "Pretty surprising that's our master, right?" She inquired. Which caught Lloyd off guard. His eyes glimmered as he felt a boost of happiness fill him for some reason. It must be his determination to stop his father and Harumi once and for all. "Yeah, he's a child at heart, definitely. " he commented. The water ninja grabbed the remaining plates and put them in the sink. "I wonder if he's gonna remember all these moments we've cherished with him when he grows older again." The water ninja theorized. Lloyd's guess was yes. "Even though I was still a young child when I unleashed the great devourer, I remember every ounce of it and how it kills me." He feels guilty, remembering Harumi's painful explanation to her motives of being tormented and overall emotionless. Kai, who was listening through the conversation, frowned at Lloyd's expression. "You miss her don't you?" he asked in which the green ninja replied with a nod. The fire ninja gave a small smile. "She'll understand her mistakes and maybe when she does, you guys can reconcile." He suggested, this time not saying anything negative about the white haired quiet one. A new smile lit on his lips. "I'd like that. "

Back at the SOG base, the two generals including Garmadon's right hand girl was called to his throne room not too long ago. The three were all having a conversation on the lift. "What do you guys think he's called us here for?" Killow Inquired to his group of friends. Ultra shrugged, leaned on the railing, her gaze turned to Harumi who stood perfectly still, leaned against nothing. "Rumi?" Ultra's call for the quiet one was soon regretted when the white haired girl hostilely glared her. "It's quiet one to you, Ultra Violet. Now don't mess up my name again or else you'll won't hear the end of this warning." She warned, being dead serious. Being wild and obnoxious, the purple coded general turned to Killow and chuckled. "Geez, she's freaking out for a name? " she mocked Harumi very discreetly. That ticked Harumi massively. To the point she took out her dagger. "Do you regret working with me now?" She asked, aiming it at Ultra's bandana. The girl shook her head. "Oh you wouldn't." She grinned. Harumi's eyes narrowed. "Try me, hussy." She retorted back.
Killow nervously stood beside the door and pointed at the outside. "Um girls, we're here. " he alerted his friends. Harumi and Ultra Violet stopped death glaring eachother and pulled off their best smiles. As Ultra and Harumi got out of the elevator, she nudged Ultra to stay back. "Quiet one's always first. Get in line, general." She reminded, walking forward. Ultra Violet decided to not disobey her orders and nodded sheepishly. "Yes quiet one." Just hearing that, made Harumi sneer with glee. "Thought so."
As the three presented themselves towards Garmadon, the lord gestured with one of his four arms for only Harumi to step up. Ultra Violet and Killow already knew where this was going and that's behind, glaring the girl a big for failing to stop the ninja. Despite joking around back there, they were still pretty angry at the quiet one. When Harumi was close enough to face her dark lord, she bowed down and shut her eyes tightly,avoiding eye with him. "You warned me my emperor. That your son would be close, but I could have not protected you." She said with guilt and sadness. Lord Garmadon shook his head. "No you have not." he replies rashly. That's when a sentence scarred the 15 year old the whole day. "It was because of you they got the message out!" Just hearing it made her want to burst in tears. The voice was none other than Ultra Violet. Her best friend. Harumi didn't have many friends. She may be cold with her generals due to her scarring past but she cared about them massively. She just didn't know how to show it without being harsh nor cold. Now she knows, they obviously don't care for her back, which upset the girl.
"Enough! " Lord Garmadon yelled back at Ultra Violet for her unnecessary comment to support Harumi's failure. "Was i not clear on what would happen if your machine would have failed me? " he asked, lifting one of his hands up in the air. Harumi looked down. "You were more than clear my emperor." She replies, scared. Garmadon approached her and brought his hand closer to her figure, more specifically, her neck. "Then I shall offer you a quick consequence." He growled. Harumi's jaw dropped as she felt pressure build up in her insides. Anxiety rushed through as she began to feel even more scared. Her heart startled to throb and it was shown by her expressions that she knew already what he was gonna do to her. "Please- I release you-" it was too late, the white haired girl was brought up in the air and force started to squeeze her neck tightly. She began choking.
"If you thought your honour had any place in my heart, you are mistaken. I have no heart!" He corrects her, satisfied to see her suffering figure floating in the air, so desperately trying to find a way to breathe. "But my emperor! What will stop them? What will stop them for organizing another...a-attack?!" she choked out, suffering so much. She kicked her legs in the air at the same time as she waved her arms around, trying to get out of this tight spot. Ultra Violet and Killow watched as their last closest friend was on the verge of dying. One of the most painful deaths they've seen. Back on Harumi's statement. Both generals do care about Harumi's efforts to run the city and the gang. They were just scared of the dark lord himself. Garmadon chuckled. "Not you my princess." He referred to her title as the formerly known jade princess, Princess Harumi.
Harumi knew that Garmadon wasn't gonna listen to her pleads. She had to use her last resort. She chocked and raised a finger up, signalling she had something to say to him. Garmadon continued putting the pressure, replying that whatever she had to say was useless for his time. "I-I know where they are! I have seen their hideout." She told him, still moving around uneasily. The dark lord processed what the girl had just told him and with one swift slide towards the ground's direction. The second in command was slammed down on the ground. She landed on her hands and she panted hard, trying to regain all her lost breath. It felt more than good to breathe again and that was one of the most horrifying experiences she ever dealt in her life. She never expected that her all mighty saviour would even do that to her! "Where?!" The king of shadows grabbed her by her hair and growled, wanting answers right now.
Harumi didn't hesitate to answer: "the garbage depot. I have seen it with my very own eyes.." her face stared at him, palely.
Garmadon seemed convinced with what his second in command was telling him. "Show me, this garbage depot." He ordered before dropping the white haired teen on the ground once again before walking back to his throne room, not being bothered he almost killed the poor girl. From there, Harumi laid there unconscious from her hero cutting her breathing circulation completely. Ultra Violet and Killow ran to her. The purple coded general placed her hands on her shoulders and shook her. "Rumi! Rumi! Please! Wake up!" Ultra begged on the verge of tears. Killow looked at Ultra Violet. "I-Is...is she breathing?" he questioned , worried. Ultra shook her head in panic. She lifted Harumi up and placed her on her back. Despite not being as strong as Killow, she was still strong and Harumi? She was way lighter than she expected. Both ran down the stairs and inside the elevator.
Ultra Violet cared for Harumi, almost like a younger sister she never had.
