Chapter 5: Sleepover


"You need rest quiet one. " Ultra Violet said urging Harumi to bed. In which the fearless leader wasn't too keen with that idea. She coughed weakly and shook her head. " Like I said earlier, I won't let an unnecessary fever stop me. I'm Harumi, the leader of this whole organization, technically empress of Ninjago and not to mention the quiet one and not the weak one. " there was a tone of anger in her voice. Why did Ultra Violet have to suddenly care for her? She's so used to seeing her as someone to boss around than someone caring for her. She really mustn't take what Killow said to her back at the streets of that city seriously. 

"Look, I really don't care. You're my boss, I take orders from you. I shouldn't be doing this but I don't want to upset my friends. " she hissed putting a few blankets over Harumi as she sat in bed. Harumi raised an eyebrow. "Where are you leading to? " she questioned. Ultra clenched her fist. " You really don't get it do you?! Mr. E and Killow are my closest friends. We do everything together even our missions! and if they say that you need rest, who am I to let them down? " she looked away and gave a frown. " why did you have to be so cold about it? " Harumi shot back at the purple coded general. Ultra started to rage. " And why did you have to organize this whole rampage?! Huh?! Oh right! Because your emotions get the best of you. You are the definition of weak, Harumi! Weak! " she yelled, she has completely snapped. 

There was a moment of silence between the two. Ultra panted hard, recovering from what she had just said. Ultra Violet did care about Harumi. But never considered her as a "close friend" she knows that deep down, Harumi was so much better than her. She was a princess and she had amazing combat skills. She looked up at her. At her terrific leadership. Without her, Garmadon wouldn't be back. Without that mentally torn teenager, she wouldn't be here. The purple coded girl started feeling guilt rise up inside of her. " Quiet one-" she was cut off by Harumi storming out of her room, not saying a word. Just simply leaving Ultra there. As she engulfed one of the biggest mistakes she has ever done in her life. 

~~~

Deeply shocked by what Her general just said to her, Harumi felt like she could trust no one. Oh right, she never trusted no one ever since that snake took her parents away from her. She was a heartless broken doll, who never gotten the support and love she needed after her parents' passing. She never wanted to be this cold. She wanted to be friendly and make many friends, hence, one of her biggest dreams was to be a ninja. But all those expectations came crashing down. She never asked to be an orphan, just like she never asked to hate her idols, the ninja and better yet, she never asked to feel saddened by a flock of words. " No Harumi, you've got to stay strong. " she told herself trying to escape the tight spot she was in. She wanted to cry. However it would just prove Ultra Violet's statement to be correct. She would be considered weak. 

Harumi knew it herself. She stepped inside the elevator and pressed the button that would bring her to Garmadon. She was really a weak girl. A weak girl who had to hide under a mask for years. Plotting her perfect revenge. But how can she accomplish it when she feels...this empty? And powerless? Clearly, Lord Garmadon has all the power, leaving the ressurecter with nothing. " My apolgizes, I wasn't expecting you to be here. " she heard a digital voice behind her. She uncrossed her arms and turned around to meet with the nindroid's helmet. Mr. E 

He scratched the back of his metallic head. " Well what im trying to say is. I wasn't expecting you to be in the elevator. " he rephrased his sentence. Harumi laughed slightly. " Which level are you going to anyway? " she asked, offering to press the button for him. He moved her hand away. " No need to, I was heading to our dark lord. Actually, he said he wanted to see the both of us and here we are. " he said as the elevator doors shut close and began making its way up to Garmadon's throne room. Harumi bit her lip. Oh not again...she thought in her mind. She was rather pleased that their previous conversation wasn't anything to do with her failures lately and at the same time unpleasing since it was something not as serious. 

"Why exactly does he want to see us? " Harumi raised a brow. Mr. E didn't answer. He was a nindroid so his silence is always expected. Again, Harumi was left to question herself. The nindroid wouldn answer her questions anyways. "What If hes gonna yell at us for failing him again? " she shivered as she thought in her mind. "What if he kicks us out of his reign? Now what? They'll have to live in the dangerous parts of Ninjago where everyone would be looking to take a piece out of the ol' quiet one and her nindroid. She was interrupted by the doors opening and Mr. E gesturing her to get out. She sighed and faced Garmadon. 

The two of them bowed before him. " You wanted to see us, my dark emperor? " she asked. Hinting by her tone, Mr. E knew she was scared. If he did try to comfort her, the lord would get suspicious that something happened to her, made her more fragile than before. That's when he would question if Harumi did any 'stunts' lately. The three generals all know what happened earlier today. "Yes I did. I wanted to request another search for my son. Since you and your pathetic generals failed me once again. " he growled enraged. Mr. E stared at Lord Garmadon. In which, he only stared back. There was a silence between the two men. 

"Mr. E is a nindroid that was built to follow orders. " she explained once again. The nindroid walked up to him without saying a word. Garmadon's heavy breathing was heard as he examined the robot. "Find my son." was his last order of business for today. Mr. E nodded as he turned away and walked back down the stairs. "He won't rest until he finds them. Because he doesn't need rest"  Harumi bowed again before following Mr. E. She stared at the elevator windows as she let a frown form on her lips. It was nightfall. "I know that emperor Garmadon wanted us to capture the green ninja around now. But you look far too exhausted to do such a thing. " the nindroid pointed out. The girl with white hair looked at him. 

" Since when do you care? " she huffed harshly. The nindroid sighed and put his hand on her shoulder. "Because you're my friend. " he smiled nicely. Harumi felt shocked that he would say such a thing. That's exactly what Ultra Violet told her hours ago. Now thinking about her, her heart sank. She felt guilt once again. She needed to apologize to Ultra Violet later. "Thanks. I appreciate that. " she returned the smile. The robot was now shocked. That was the nicest thing he heard Harumi say to him. Usually it was: "Ugh! You failed, now the emperor would want me dead! " or "Well what are you waiting for?! After them! ". She has changed tremendously. "No problem. " he said leaving the elevator to find Killow and Ultra Violet waiting for them with grins on their faces. 

Harumi blinked. " Uh..what exactly are you guys doing here? " she asked the two generals. Ultra sneered. "I, Ultra Violet declare that we have a sleepover. All four of us! " she explained her idea. Mr. E looked confused. "A sleepover? " he questioned. Ultra prepared to explain what it meant. " it's an occasion when someone, especially a child, sleeps for one night in a place such as a friend's home-" She was cut off by the nindroid. " no, I know what it means. I'm a nindroid. But here? In Borg tower? " he pointed out. It was pretty weird indeed. They all had their own rooms inside the towers, all in different floors. Ultra, Killow and Mr. E had the whole seventh floor for themselves, Harumi had the eight floor and Garmadon had the ninth. The tenth was his throne room and not to mention, rooftop. 

"Oh in that case. I invite you all to room by my place! "She started walking down the halls. Harumi looked at Killow, the big man. " And you agreed to this? "She said  kinda angry. If Garmadon found out what they were doing for the night, they'd be in trouble and who's the one that's gonna get "killled" by Garmadon? Yep, you guessed it! The quiet one. They should be making plans on how to capture the green ninja but instead they're having fun? Hopefully, the dark lord doesn't find out. "Ofcourse, because Ultra Violet was happy with idea. We all had a rough weak and she was hoping that we could all reconnect? As friends? "He responded as his cheeks turned red. Harumi thankfully didn't notice that or else she would be getting into assumptions. " Friends huh? You know I'm not one for friends. "She said in her defence. Killow pat her on her back. " Loosen up a little, quiet one. You always need friends! And we're here for you. " he smiled genuinely. 

~~~ 

As they all arrive to their own respective rooms, Ultra held the door open of her own chambers. "Just grab your things and let's just have some fun tonight? I've been really looking forward to spending time with my friends! " she said wildly. And so they did, they grabbed their belongings, Harumi had a green ninja action figure and the Oni mask of hatred. She's couldnt go one night without protection. Mr. E had his phone and Killow had a banana plush to cuddle with later. "Hey, what's with that banana plush Killow? " Harumi smirked, poking at the fabric. The big man blushed. "U-Uh..yeah, I can't sleep without it. " he said nervously. Harumi smirked even more. " You can't sleep without it? What if you cuddle Ultra Violet instead? " she teased. In which resulted in a hard slap by Ultra. "W-Why would you say that?! Q-Quiet one! " she said embarrassed. Killow was red too. "Aw come on, you guys are cute together! " she took out her tongue. 

"Whatever, l-let's just go inside. " she huffed and stepped inside the purple filled room. Mr. E and Harumi laughed together as Killow stood still, trying to process what the quiet one just said. He was left with Ultra Violet in the corridors. "S-So..." She said awkwardly. Killow nodded. " Yeah...uh. Well you won't let one thing that the quiet one said get to you right? " he was still red at this point. Ultra shook her head right away. " N-Never! She's pathetic and you're a jerk. M-My jerk. "She shot back at him. Killow blushed even more. Mr. E and Harumi grinned even more. " Ooh! " 

Ultra growled completely flustered. " T-That's not what I meant! Killow is a jerk, to most people since he's part of the S.O.G. but when you really get to know him, he's a sweetheart-" she said that last part quietly. "Sureeeeee" Harumi giggled. Ultra backed away and slammed the door shut. "Ahhh! That's not what I wanted to say! " she hissed angrily and frustrated. Just after she said that, Garmadon was passing by, making his daily rounds around the tower. He heard her loud voice through the halls and couldn't help but facepalm. " She really is a crazy one...she talks to herself. "He concluded before walking away. 

~~~

Everyone was in their sleepwear, Harumi was in a fancy navy night dress with white buttons on the stomach area, black belts around her, a black undershirt and spiked cuffs on her sleeves. She still wore her red face paint and her white hair was down. There was a black clip clipped on one of her bangs and there was a small bun made on her head. In which black chopsticks were holding it in place. Ultra Violet had a black tank top and violet pants. She still had her purple lipstick and the white face paint was still there. Killow had a black nightcap and his waist coat was orange. Leaving his chest bare as always. Finishing him off with his all day everyday, black shorts. Finally, there was Mr. E. the nindroid really didn't care of fashion. Usually it's just the girls.  So he just rushed in his room, put on a red striped pair of pants and a shirt and that's it. 

"So I've never had a sleepover before. What exactly do we do? " Killow inquired sitting down on his fluffy orange blanket on the ground. Harumi gave him a dangerous smile. " I'm glad you asked. Because we are playing truth or dare! " she pridefully said. The three generals's jaws dropped. "But we don't want to-" they were cut off by Harumi's evil glare. " Who's Garmadon's second in command? " she shut her eyes, waiting for the answer. The answer was too easy. Mr. E and Killow sighed and gave her the answer she wanted. But Ultra. 

"Dareth. " she said sarcastically in which Harumi punched her in the arm playfully. " Oh shut up. You know exactly that I'm second in charge. Now, i order all of you, to play truth or dare with me" She took her tongue out evilly. Mr. E was the first to react. " Sounds fun! " he said excited. So little is known about him, so this would be a easy game, plus he was dying to know the secrets of the other three. "Aw shoot..." Ultra Violet retorted, frustrated. Hearing that, made Harumi laugh even more. "I swear if you make me and Ultra kiss.." Killow groaned. Ultra Violet felt her cheeks burn up once again. Why was she always blushing now a days? It's just Killow! Her friend! Atleast, that's what's her mind thinks, maybe her heart had other plans. Harumi laid her head down and rolled to the side. " Oh, we'll see about that. " she teased. 

"Anyways, can I start? " Mr. E asked, cuddled up to his sleeping bag. The quiet one nodded. " Yeah sure, go ahead. But leave the extreme stuff up to me. "She said fiercely. Killow and Ultra Violet looked at eachother with the 'we're so doomed' faces. Mr. E looked at Ultra Violet. " So Ultra! Truth or dare? " he asked. Harumi waited patiently as she played around with the little green ninja figure from behind. The purple coded general thought for a minute. " Definetly truth! " she laughed at Harumi. The white haired girl gave a neutral look. 

"Ok...what's the most cutest thing you and Killow have ever done together? And since it's truth, there's no point in lying. Second, my lie detector is on. " he grinned. Harumi high fived the nindroid. " I'm so happy that I'm friends with you. " she chuckled. Ultra blushed and glanced at Killow. " Will you give us a break you guys? We don't want to be tomatos all night! " he joked. Harumi and Mr. E looked at eachother. " Hm...should we? The order's all yours, quiet one. " the nindroid bowed from his spot. Harumi bit her lip. " How about no? " she giggled menacingly. Killow and Ultra Violet groaned. " I hate you guys. " they both said. 

"The power of your love with keep you both sane all night" Harumi put her hand on her forehead as she was being overdramatic again. "Yeah right. How about the power of your love for the green ninja? You kissed him on the cheek come on! " Ultra Violet shot back, vengeance being her first priority, for her and Killow's sake. Hearing that, made the quiet haired girl fall out of Ultra's bed. "H-Hey that was just to get closer to the Oni mask of Hatred! " she pulled the familiar purple mask into view. The generals backed away. " Yeah save the preformance for later." they begged. She smirked. She had the upper hand.  " I'll praise your requisition. If you don't talk about me and Lloyd anymore. " she made them promise. They bowed before her, afraid.  "Y-Yes Quiet one..". She put the mask behind her and crossed her arms. " Good." 

"Ultra, will you tell us the truth then? " the mysterious nindroid changed subject which appealed Harumi very much. She didn't like to talk about her and Lloyd anymore. It made her heart hurt more than ever. Ultra sighed and took a deep breath. " the  most cutest thing? Well we had this small argument over the teeth and that incident with snake jaguar, before he went off to race, we talked for a bit and called me: 'cutie pie' " she crossed her arms and looked away, blushing. Mr. E got even more curious. " What was the sentence in which he called you that? " things got more precise. Ultra was about to answer before being cut by the big man himself. " Don't worry, cutie pie. I won't let you down. I'll keep an eye on that snake jaguar if you wish. " he repeated what he told Ultra Violet weeks ago, trying not to explode. 

Harumi and Mr. E clapped. Obviously amused by all this. "Moving on! Killow? Truth or dare? " Ultra shot at him excitingly. The man started to sweat. " Uh...I want to be in the safe zone, so Truth." He answered. Ultra grabbed a pillow and hugged it. " From the 'green law breaker' stunt Harumi pulled lately. Did you find the ninja during your search? Or anything strange? " she asked. Harumi looked forward to that answer. There might be a chance that her general tracked down their location. He looked down. " Sorry, no I haven't. But I did find this weird circular object by a green log I found. According to Mr. E it was a location tracker bug. But why would it be attached to a green stick. " he mocked. 

The quiet one's eye started to twitch. " B-Bug?! " she said angrily. Killow and Mr. E stared at her. " Yeah I ripped it off. I mean come on. Who would place it on a green stick? " he didn't seem too impressed. She grabbed the remaining pillows from Ultra's bed and threw them repeatedly at the big man and the nindroid. "You idiots! I was the one that put that device on that 'stick' which was in reality Lloyd's leg! Augh! " she grabbed the Oni mask of hatred, put it on and began punching Killow. "Woah! I'm sorry! " he yelled. 

That's when the door slammed open. Garmadon was in his purple nigh robe and looked furious. " Ultra Violet! Would you keep it down?! Or else i'll call in Harumi to deal with you! " he raged at the purple coded general. In whatever place, the summoned girl only blinked. Harumi stopped punching Killow and took the mask off and bowed. " My dark lord. "She started. His eyes widened. " Harumi? What are you doing here with these...animals. " he insulted. Ultra Violet took out of her sai. " Hey! " She retorted. Mr. E grabbed her hands from behind to restrain her. Garmadon growled at Ultra Violet but focuses his look on Harumi. " We were discussing on how to capture your son. My lord. " she pointed at Mr. E, Killow and Ultra Violet. 

"Hm, you dare not disappoint me this time. You seem to be making an effort than your previous attempts. Harumi. " he insulted at their failures. Harumi looked down. "Y-Yes my lord. I will not fail you. " she tried to keep her voice steady. Killow and Mr. E noticed that. " Please Sir, Don't blame her for our failures, we offer to take responsibility. "He pleaded. The quiet one's eyes glittered with tears as she kept her head low. If Garmadon saw her crying, he would call her something even worse than what Ultra did hours ago. The dark lord shook her head. " You are her generals. She's second In command. It's her fault that you guys aren't trained enough." He said before exiting the room. Leaving the four friends alone once again. 

~~~

She threw the mask underneath her pillow. " Yeah...that  wasn't such a good idea. "  she chuckled nervously. "sorry about that. " she wiped her eyes. The three generals gave neutral looks. " It's fine . I just can't believe that guy isn't sleeping yet. It's like...11PM! " Ultra pointed out. "Totally. "Harumi shivered. "Moving on, I'm sorry about breaking your bug quiet one. I didn't know it was to track the resistance's location. " He apologized. She clenched her fist. " Grr..i'll find another way to find them. " she assured him. " Let's continue playing. "She said looking at Mr. E. he hid his eyes with his hands. " Uh...why me? " he said, scared. She giggled. " Truth or dare. Tin of metal? " she called him by a teasing alias. He hissed. " Fine..I choose dare since I'm not a coward like all of you! " he laughed. 

She handed him Ultra's purple lipstick. The purple coded general didn't seem to mind since she had tons. She just wanted to see what kind of dare the superior quiet one had in mind. " I dare you to draw a bunny on your face with Ultra lipstick. "She sneered. " and leave it on for the whole night. " there was a tone of evil in her voice. The nindroid groaned and grabbed the lipstick. " I've never done this before. I wanted the bunny to look...cute. " he immediately regretted saying that. Ultra and Killow laughed. " So you like bunnies huh? " they started to tease the nindoid. He blushed a deep red. " N-No." he replied. 

"You totally do! " Harumi joined in on the teasing fun. He shook his head but every time he did, there were digital effects that evoked. " Shoot, I forgot to turn off my lie detector. " he cursed to himself. The three bounced around the room. " You like bunnies! You like bunnies! " they changed, making sure to keep their voices down in case Garmadon returns with the 'glaring' treatment. He just placed himself in front of Ultra's vanity and started drawing the purple bunny with her lipstick. He tried his best to make it as cute as possible.

~~~

When he was finished, he turned around to face the others. Their only reactions were screeches of awe. " Bunny E! " Killow called for the lipstick bunny wearing robot. "Shut up. I look adorable. Even cuter than your girl there Killow. " he winked. Killow huffed. " Never. Ultra Violet is the cutest girl I ever met. No one replaces her. " what he didn't realize was that he said it out loud. Harumi was squealing, Mr. E was smirking and Ultra was blushing. He found himself blushing too. " Oh shoot! " he looked away. Ultra Violet had enough of all this. She couldn't handle this anymore. With her blushing face, she made her way to her friend. " Killow..." she gazed at his black eyes. He leaned down to her level. " Yes? " he asked. Waiting for an answer. Ultra Violet put her arms around him. " Truth or dare? " she purred. 

Harumi and Mr. E watched. " I've never seen Ultra get so touchy before. " she commented whilst smirking. He whispered back. " Yeah me too. Who knows, this scene right here is a jackpot.". Killow blushed even more at her touch. " I'm not a coward like you and the quiet one. So dare." He said confidently even though he wanted to explode. She sat on his lap and put her hands on his face. "I dare you to hug me. " she smirked and looked at the others's reactions as she rested her head on his chest. Killow chuckled lightly and wrapped his own arms around her. " Dare accepted." He shut  his eyes. 

Harumi and Mr. E's jaw dropped as they saw the two hug. " But But But! That's not the dare we were expecting! " they whined. Ultra and Killow took their tongues out as they just kept eachother close. "Well too bad for you! " they said. Harumi stormed to the light switch and crossed her arms. " How about we just call it a night? I'm tired for today. " she asked. Ultra laughed. " Well someone's a sore loser. " she mentioned. She put her sleeping bag down and growled. " shut up! I'm just tired! " she tried turned the light switch off and crawled on her slepeing bag. Keeping the mask of hatred beside her. "Good night guys! " she waved in the dark and shut her eyes slowly. Mr. E waved back. He didn't need sleep. Instead he just turned his switch 'sleep switch' on. Which is an option Harumi implemented to allow the robot to just lay still without thinking nor fighting. Like just stand there like an empty vessel. "Night! " Ultra and Killow said at the same time. 

~~~

Once the 'coast was clear' meaning that when Harumi and Mr. E were asleep. Ultra got out of bed and snuggled beside Killow. She knew how to move around in the dark due to some missions she had going on when she was still a normal trainee. Killow instantly recognized her warmth. He couldn't sleep either. He wanted to continue this game but Harumi is Harumi and If she wanted to stop with something, they had to obey. "Ultra Violet is that you? " he whispered and turned around to stroke her ponytail. "Yeah it's me. " she alerted him softly. He had a playful smile on his face. " What's keeping you up, cutie pie? " he asked. 

Ultra giggled softly. " Truth or dare. " she said shortly. Killow seemed confused with her request but still played along to not disappoint the girl. " Dare. Since your previous one was weak. " he let a smile form on his lips. But it couldn't be seen since the room was filled in darkness. That's when Ultra grabbed his hands to make him stand up. The big man obeyed and stood up, leaving him leg crossed on his warm fluffy blanket. "Ultra, what are you-" he murmured. The girl placed a finger on his lips. "I'm not done yet. " a playful smirk formed on her lips as she sat back down on his laps. Killow smirked. " Oh I see.." his voice trailed off. 

"Oh shush...Killow. I want this. " she leaned in even more to his level. Killow wanted to play around with her for a bit. " Oh? Why is that? " he joked. Even though he already knew the answer. She was madly in love with him and so was he. "Do I really need to make it more obvious? I really really love you Killow. More than anything. I need you. " she said with pure honesty. " so please, let me kiss you. " she begged the man. "You don't want us being friends anymore? " he teased even more, pulling her closer to him. She shook her head. "No of course not. We're still friends. I just...I want to be with you. " she blushed as she confessed her heart out. Killow was moved with her words. "Ultra..." he sighed. 

Ultra shook her head. " I get it. We're at a thought situation right now and I understand that you might not return your feelings back for me. " she said disappointed. He cut her off. "That's not the case. I love you too Ultra Violet. But can we keep this thing going secret while we're still fighting for our lives? When this is all over, I promise that i'll be with you. " he extended his pinky.  Ultra grabbed his palm to help her locate where his pinky was and wrapped hers against his. " Thank you. " she smiled as she leaned in even closer and captured his lips in a soft kiss. Usually Ultra would be the one to go all wild with her partners. Atleast that's what others thought. Killow was Ultra's first crush and she found this moment bittersweet. So her mood changed. Killow Immediately kissed her back and even shut his eyes. The two stayed in that position for a few minutes before pulling away for air. 

"I love you Killow. " Ultra placed one last kiss on his lips before climbing back on her bed. Trying not to make a sound. Killow smiled, totally lovestruck. " I love you too Ultra Violet. " he whispered back at her. Which made her smile the slightest. The two shut their own eyes. This was definetly a night to remember in the cases of the two generals. Hopefully this would be all over, no matter what side they end up joining, the other would always join that side too. Because like in Killow's promise, once this is over, him and Ultra would start their relationship.

To be continued...

~~~ 

A/N wow! 5024 Words! That is indeed my record for the longest story/chapter I have ever wrote. This chapter was planned out since chapter 2 and I had loads of fun writing this. Especially the little Killolet scene at the end. I seriously ship them so hard. Their my Killow and Ultra Violet OTP. I say that since I'm a multishipper and I Ship characters in which i already ship with others. I don't really ship Killow  with anyone since I only see him with Ultra. But for Ultra Violet? I Ship her with Mr. E nd Harumi herself. Though my favourite is Killow x Ultra Violet. Sorry this chapter came out so late, I was busy with work all day and I was exhausted and the original plan was to have Killow and Ultra kiss as a dare by Harumi but I got completely distracted! However, I loved writing that ending and in my mind, I found it original unlike the 'I dare you to kiss *insert name here*. Alright! Now I guess I can leave with a question for you guys! 

Leave your theories down below on if Harumi and Mr. E would have known about Ultra and Killow's little 'moment' despite the lights being off. if you think that 'yes' than please comment down below on how that is possible. If I really like your idea, i might use it for next chapter! Alrighty. That's it! Chapter 6 is coming on Friday since this chapter took forever to write. I need a break lol. Bye!
