"No! I wanna stay with you! Please! " the young girl pleaded tearfully. The two adults with her watched sadly. In any minute, this whole building was gonna collapse and what mattered to them the most is for their little girl to exit this place as quickly as possible. Harumi tugged on her mother's sleeve whilst wiping her tears. There was only one option left and as much as the little girl didn't want it. She had no choice. Her father pushed his own daughter in the elevator which was pretty cramped. The residents gave annoyed looks. They just wanted to escape already. They didn't want to die just yet.

"Please! I wanna stay! Mama! " Harumi cried, her hand slipped down to her mom's hand. Her mother didn't look away from her for one second. " W-We'll see you when we get down...I promise" and with that, the brown haired woman let go of her scared daughter's hand. That was the last time that the proud parents ever saw their sweet daughter ever again. They were sad that they had to take off at such an early time but they would always be proud of who she would become and who she would be in the future. How she's gonna marry someone that would love her very much for who she is, and hopefully continue their legacy. 

Harumi banged on the metallic doors and broke down in even more tears. " D-Don't leave me! Please please please! " she screamed, griefsicken. The people inside the lift couldn't help but look distraught at the young girl. They knew for a fact that her parents wouldn't survive this, the devrouer  previously targeted this building and the walls are already crashing down. All the girl had to do was wait. Her parents promised that they would meet her when they make it downstairs. 

Unfortunately, the remains of that promise were the corpses of the only people in which she accepted in her heart. Broken bones and blood stained the bricks in which their bodies were crushed in. Harumi's eyes filled with even more tears as she observed the scene. Some policemen were trying to lift the rocks off them. As for her, she was being pulled by two doctors to bring her by an ambulance so that they could check up on her. Despite being in contact with cold dead bodies, she couldn't keep an eye off them.

Harumi, the leader of the S.O.G ran through the alleyways endlessly. She huffed at her every turn she took. She was determined to find Lloyd, end him and avenge her parents. It was his fault that she was like this. Broken, mentally scarred but most importantly, it's his fault that she now hates him. She used to really admire the young ninja, even wanting to join his team one day, now all she wants to do is take away everything he loved just like he did to her. 

"Oy! Get back here law-breaker! Green is illegal in this town! " A guard yelled behind her. She looked back and her eyes widened. Not like she's surprised or anything. This was her plan all along. It just means that she needed to put her endurance to the test. She needed to keep running until she finds those pesky ninja. As Harumi kept running, she heard loud gaits, following her. " M-Must be my guards. " she let escape out of her  lips as she panted fatiguely. the chase between those guards and the leader was so on.

"Have you tracked down her location? " Ultra picked up the pace as she got to Mr. E and Killow's speed. The nindroid checked a few things on his motorcycle, more like the screens displayed on them. " Not yet but for someone that is seeking attention, it would be pretty easy to find her. " He remarked. Killow rubbed his head. " Are you sure that this isn't some undercover mission? I mean, we already patrolled the streets like five times! " he complained. Ultra Violet felt her heart harden. " Do you guys not trust me?! " she challenged a bit melancholy. Mr. E and Killow were surprised with her response to a simple theory. "No Violet, it's not like that. We just- " 

She sped up which left the two generals behind. She huffed, as more anger rose inside of her. She turned her head and glared the two people she could have called "friends". "I should have known better. " was the last thing she said before she pulled the handles even more, increasing the speed of the vehicle. An immense cloud of gas  awaited them.

As the ninja arrived safely by the garbage depot, they knocked on it which Skylor replied right away. " just in time. We're watching the news. Apparently some sort of guy is breaking the law of no green. " she pointed out to them. Jay was the first to react to that. " Green is illegal here now? Great, just great. " he exclaimed in an unnecessary tone. He stepped inside right after and joined the others who were looking at the small TV. Skylor turned to Kai and Nya. " Where is this so called guy? " the red ninja asked, hoping to know more about them. Skylor looked back at the TV set before answering them. " They're apparently by the seventh street of Ninjago. According to eye witnesses all around the city. " 

"Looks like there's a chase going on. " Nya commented by hearing screams of horror and yells of guards from inside the facility. Skylor nodded. " I wonder if they're gonna catch the poor guy. Maybe he didn't know that green wasn't aloud these days. " she said with reason. Kai and Nya headed inside after being followed by Zane and Cole. Lloyd saw them arrive before pulling his hood down. " It seems like this person needs our help. " he started. Misako surveilled him. " Son its too dangerous. Plus, you're wearing green yourself. " she hinted to his identity as the green ninja. "Your mother is right. That idea or yours is unsafe. " Zane agreed with the woman. 

The blonde boy shook his head. "But they might be in danger! " he commenced  his argument. " I don't know what you guys think but they are still human. Soon, they would run out of breath from the chase and they'll end up in the hands of my father. I'm out. "He told the others before running out. The ninja panicked and followed him. " Lloyd! No! " 

But it was too late, the heroic green ninja was off. Though, he doesn't seem too heroic in the quiet one's eyes. Hence, he was just falling for another one of her tricks.

Harumi kept running, soon entering the fifth street of this city. So far, she parcoured two streets in a row. She was really exhausted and could pass out any moment now but she didn't give up. No sign of the ninja just yet, that's why she needed to keep fighting. Her legs were sore and her cheeks were red. Sweat beads rolled down her face as she encoutered a dead end. "Shoot. " she gasped as her back was pressed on the stone wall. The four guards that were chasing her, gave victorious grins. "We did it lads! We captured the criminal."The one with a mohawk cheered. " Oh how the quiet one would be happy to hear this. I wonder if she'll grant us a promotion and we'll become generals like Ultra Violet, Killow and Mr. E. " the one with blonde hair asked. 

Harumi observed them with a disapointed  look. "Oh so this is what this is all about? " she asked them, trying to regain her breath. The four guards looked at her cluelessly. " U-Um...we don't understand what you're implying. " they said at the same time. Harumi simply rolled her eyes. " I doubt that the quiet one would be proud of your course of actions. She did demand for Lord Garmadon's son and not a green-wearing person. "She winked. The guards looked at eachother. "miss, how did you know that-? " the Mohawk guard questioned. 

Harumi smirked. " My Fist told me. It knows many secrets. Do you want it to share some with you?". In a naive manner, the amateur guard nodded, walking even closer to her. She clenched her fist. " I've been waiting for this moment for so long. " she commented before punching him in the face hardly. "Hey! " the other guards attempted to apprehend her, seeing their comrade on the ground, out cold. Harumi ran to them, took her red katanas out and began fighting them one by one. That was when Lloyd arrived, he saw the very scene happen before his very eyes. 

Harumi slashed her katanas inwards the last guard standing. For a female fighter, she took them out pretty quickly. The guard grabbed the lid of a trash can and used it as a shield. She growled as she used her other sword to poke his arm. It made him yelp and fall on the ground. She giggled darkly and turned around to face her spectator. Once she saw who it really was, her eyes widened as she grasped her red katanas tightly. Lloyd observed her behaviour. She seemed scared. " Don't worry, I won't hurt you. " he reached his hand out. " how did you not  get caught yet? " Harumi spat out at him. Lloyd smiled. " Ninja's have their ways."

Oh how she wished she could just rip that smile off his face. But she kept her urges and walked off. " Why are you even here? " she demanded to know. The green ninja shrugged. " I just felt like it. When I heard that you were being chased by some S.O.G guards, I couldn't resist helping you." He admitted the truth. Despite it being words, Harumi felt weak at this point that anything could cut right through her. She was on the verge of tears. " Uh huh. You are willing to save anyone but you couldn't have made it in time to save my parents. " she mentioned in detestation. 

Lloyd's own eyes widened. Could it possibly be? " Rumi? " he asked the green-wearing individual in which he flinched when she growled and took the hood off. " Don't call me that! You murderer! " the tears on her cheeks were now visible. He couldnt help but drop his jaw in awe as he saw her in her outfit. he hadnt seen her in green for so long.  Lloyd felt guilt burn inside of him. " Harumi. I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I couldn't be here for you. I couldn't-" he was cut off by a hard punch to the stomach. Harumi huffed. " Save it. I don't want to hear it. " she said as she charged at him with her red katanas. Lloyd was on the ground as he tried to process what just happened. " I hate you, I hate you so much" she screamed angrily at his face. Lloyd tried to dodge every attack that she had to offer. Even though her words hit like a flock of trucks. 

"Please- we can talk about this. Harumi-" he tried to talk with her without attacking her. She put the blade of one of her katanas on his neck. " No! I don't want to talk to you! " she said coldly. That's when a wave of water was launched at her. It sent her against the wall. Her back hit it and she let out a whimper of pain. Nya narrowed her eyebrows as she helped him up. " Are you alright? " she asked worriedly. He nodded and stood up on his own. " Harumi, surrender now." He demanded. The girl shook her head as she grasped her shoulder. " I-I would never surrender to you! " she took out a circular object from her stash and threw it at the two ninjas. The object was blinking red. 

As the object hit the ninja, it stuck onto Lloyd's leg and a storm of smog came out of the circular object. Nya coughed as she put her mask back on, but it didn't stop her tickle in her throat. Lloyd tried to spot for Harumi in the gray ominous environment they were in. But it was impossible. Smoke blinded his eyes. With that, Harumi used her red katanas to climb up the walls and reach the rooftop, escaping from that tight spot. As she observed her surroundings, she saw Ultra Violet driving around the city. There was a spark of relief on her frontage. 

She waved her hand out and yelled: " Ultra! " hoping to gain her attention. The purple coded general looked around her surroundings before seeing a slight movement by her left. There she was, Harumi waving at her in an urging manner. Ultra Violet sped up the pace, signaling her to use the speed of jumping from roof to roof to get on the bike. "Hurry quiet one! The ninja might catch up to you" She said before driving off, but not too fast. Harumi nodded, put her hood back on and began sprinting towards the next rooftop. Her feet reached the edge before she made her daring leap forward, her eyes looked down as she sticked her landing perfectly. She did that for the next few rooftops, soon catching Ultra Violet's speed. 

"Jump Harumi! " Ultra signaled. Harumi has reached the last rooftop. This was it, if she fails this jump, she gets thrown in the river. It would injure her severely since the water's not deep enough. Her feet would just stomp on the ground. The girl took a deep breath before facing Ultra's bike. She stepped back before charging in advance and jumped off the rooftop. She wished that the speed would be enough to get her on the bike. Her pupils glared the backseat as she flipped, gaining even more speed and landed sitting down behind Ultra Violet. The purple coded general turned around with an impressive look. " What an impressive stunt. Quiet one" she complimented. Harumi smiled proud. " Thanks. Let's just say I got lucky I guess" 

Ultra sighed. " Ok getting down to business, why did you leave so suddenly? You have no idea how much trouble you're gonna get when Garmadon finds out. " she warned. The quiet one gulped. " Does he know I went out? " she asked, hanging on to her friend. The girl shook her head. " No but there's the news. " she answered. " Shoot. " Harumi bit her lip. Ultra Violet increased the speed. " Don't worry, i'll try to make up an excuse. " she said to her. The leader's eyes lit up. " Really? You would do such a thing? " she smiled. Ultra nodded. " Yeah I wanted to make it up to you. that's why we followed you. " she told her. Harumi raised an eyebrow. " I'm glad you did. Honestly. If you guys didn't then I would have passed out on the rooftop. Besides, where's Killow and Mr. E? " curiousity and worry was now written all over her face. Ultra tensed up hearing those names. " Those idiots? Well they'll return soon, unfortunately. "She hissed.

Harumi gave a serious look. " Am I sensing some beef between you guys? ". Ultra Violet groaned in frustration. " I'll explain to you when we get back to Borg tower. "
