~~~~~~~~
As the sun started to come through the clouds, and everything was peaceful..... well not that peaceful. Sounds could be heard from the dining room, as everyone in the family was trying to find the whereabouts of the beautiful white haired, Jade empress.

Lloyd was pacing back and forth, Kai, and Nya were trying to call Harumi, they dialed her number in their communications. While Jay, and Cole, were investigating In Harumi's Room to see if there was something to Harumi's sudden Disappearance.

Everyone else, not to mention Zane, and Pixel were actually heading to the bridge, to check the screen where they could try to track Harumi's location, and then tried to find her. Lloyd sighed as he looked at the group scared, "I just don't get it why did she leave?"

Everyone went silent, they didn't know how to answer that, there were many possibilities, but they didn't know what was the correct answer, but they knew for sure they needed to find her and bring her home. "You guys, don't think she went after Zephyr do you?" He asked everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, they didn't think Harumi would be the one to go off to fight zephyr. "No no I don't think she would, there is no way she did it, she's smarter than that" The earth ninja began to reassure him. Everyone let that settle.

When suddenly the door opened, Revealing Jay, and Cole came into the room, and they didn't look so reassuring. Lloyd didn't like how their faces looked, and how scared they looked. He gulped. "You guys, what's wrong, why do you look so..... scared?" He was worried about their facial expressions.

Jay and Cole looked at each other, before they decided to break the news to the group. "T—the Oni mask of hatred, it's g-gone" Jay managed to stutter out, as he saw everyone's faces, they looked horrified. It was Lloyd who managed to speak after hearing the very bad news.

"W-what do you mean it's gone!" He demanded. "We haven't used that mask since we used it to destroy the Oni titan". The boys Looked at Each other, they both shrugged their shoulders. "We don't know Lloyd". Cole started to say as Jay decided to take over: "we went to look in his room, the Oni mask wasn't in there".

Lloyd started to panic, he shook his head, he began to pace, he now knew the worst had come true. He turned towards the group. "She went to fight zephyr!" He told everyone as the reality then sat in
〜〜

As the villains were running rampant in the city, and wreaking havoc, they failed to notice a certain white haired girl who was stealthy making her away in the shadows, sure she wasn't a ninja but she could handle herself. As she looked around she saw her beloved city being torn apart by the villains and she felt a bitter taste in her mouth.

"I'm gonna fix this, I have too" she walks over to a corner as she sees The overlord, and General Cryptor talking. "Zephyr wants us to find the White haired girl" the overlord spoke in his usual gritty deep voice. The robot general then raised his digital eyebrow. "I thought he was done with her?" He asked the taller villain.

The taller villain shook his head. "No, he wants to make sure she is no longer a threat to his reign" he explains as they two then walked off and into the street where the other villains were lurking.

The white haired girl let out a breath she didn't know she was still holding in, she sighs: "Why is everyone after me lately?" She put her back towards the alleyway wall, and then slid down and put her hands on her knees. "This is getting too much".

As she was about to say something else, she heard a swishing noise coming from somewhere she looked up, and then saw a nindroid trying to attack her. She gasped as took her leg and swept his leg knocking him to the ground.

When Harumi was satisfied thinking there was no one else to attack her she started walking when she didn't see another one behind her, she quickly did a somersault, and got out of the way as he tried to attack her.

Harumi grabbing her daggers out of her holster she did a few swipes, as the robot dodged, and Harumi still continued to dodge, and then Rumi did a high kick, knocking them on their back and out like a light.

When she thought she had a second, she started to breathe when suddenly an arrow whisked past her barely missing her face. She gasped. "What the?" She asked as she turned around, she was met with a horrible sight.

She saw Crux, Chen, and stone warriors with bow, and arrows; they were archers! And they pointed at her. "Oh come on!" Rumi shouted, as they started to launch the arrows at her. Luckily the girl managed to deflect the arrows, as she sighed the arrows, she soon used Spinjitzu to deflect the arrows away from her.

She smiled in victory, as she then headed off, searching for the man who started all of this, and soon she would end this once and for all, or at least she hoped so, she really hoped so.

〜〜
Meanwhile in the middle of the city, as everything was in chaos, Zephyr, Ava, and Matais stood by some burning boxes as Zephyr smiled seeing everyone feeling in terror, and the city had people screaming and running. He laughs, as Matais looked at Zephyr. "The city is ours, zephyr"

The boy smirked, as he looked at his friends, words could not describe how happy he was right now. He turned to look at his friends. "Since I was a boy, I have seen this very vision. The world in chaos".

As the two boys were talking, a stone warrior was speaking into Ava's ear and it seemed like she was liking the news she heard. She looked at her friends. "Zephyr, the villains had sent work. They spotted harumi on the south side, she is away from her friends and is vulnerable"

This made the spellcasters eyes go wide in excitement, finally he could get rid of the girl, and show his true power to the people of this city, and made them fear him. he looked at Ava "Have them, leading her straight to us" he demanded, as he turned around.
〜〜
Harumi ran for her life as things were being thrown at her, and villains were trying to attack her, she breathed heavily, as unknowingly to her she was being led into a trap, she walked into what seemed to be a construction site to to there being a crane, but there was wood surrounding what seemed to be a pit at the bottom.

"Hmm better, avoid that" she mumbled, as she didn't let her guard go down, she kept her daggers out and raised up, she was ready for anything. She headed off to the side breathing a little heavy trying to catch her breath, she put her head on the wood and sighed. She then took out her communicator to see if she had missed anything.

She brought the device up, and and turned on the thing with a little click, she saw there were messages from Lloyd, Cole, Nya, and Kai, not to mention missed calls from Zane, Jay, Mirage, Opal, and Mistaké. "Oh no I forgot to tell them! There probably so worried about me"

She sighed, "I'm sorry, I-I have to fix this. T-this is my fault, I'm responsible" a noise brought her pity party, and looked to see stone warriors, and nindroids, were around, and it seems like they were getting into some type of information for something. "I'm sorry guys" she put her device down and prepared for battle.

Harumi held her weapon, as she saw two soldiers standing ready to attack. She takes a breath then attacks from behind, making them off balance. She smiled as she used her leg and sweeped as she then did a somersault, and kicked another soilder that was gonna attack her from behind, then moved around, looking behind her and shifted her position to make sure she was safe.

Rumi took off in another run before she slowed down, as she neared another corner she slowly went by, as soon as she turned the corner, Shuriken were thrown but she did a front flip, as she avoided the weapons, and landed on her feet, with a sigh. As she continued walking she looked around as

she was about to be ambushed by a group of stone warriors, as her back was behind her, they decided to jump her but luckily harumi looked back at the right time, and harumi deflected their weapons, as they tried to attack Rumi then tried to do spinjitzu but due to them being stone she hurt her foot in the process.

She groaned, as she let out a Yelp, as she held her foot, but then she remembered her powers. Her face went pale, she didn't know that she didn't know how to use these powers, she never used them. But she had to, it was life or death, so taking a breath. She focused and soon her hands emitted some destruction.

"Sorry guys, but it's my turn now" she then twirled her hands around, like she always saw garmadon do, and then used it and swirled it around the stone warriors, and it seemed like it was slowing them down.

As Harumi continued, to fight the warriors, on a rooftop some meters away, the three spell casters were watching Harumi below. Matias looked at Zephyr, as they watched the girl fight, she was doing pretty well. "She fights bravely," he commented.

Zephyr chuckled at that comment, he looked over at his friend, his hands were behind his back as he laughed. "She is young, overconfident, foolish" he would've listed off some other choice words but he decided against it.

Ava looked over at the two boys, she walked over to zephyr, she watched the girl down below, as she continued to fight. "Zephyr we shouldn't take chances with her, We should destroy her quickly!" She urged her friends who looked at her.

Zephyr thought about his friend's advice, he then went and saw her continue to fight, then he looked at the other villains. "Archers" he called, as he saw them ready their arrows at the girl. Harumi was completely unaware of the archers.

She continued to do spinjitzu, and use her powers against the villains. She heard a noise, as she was fighting confused she turned around and that's when she saw the arrows flying at her. "Oh, no".

Harumi held her sword up, in a defensive position, as the arrows came towards her Rumi did a twirl, along with a front flip and double twirl as she deflected the arrows away from her. She had to do some crazy maneuvers to get away from the arrows. She did a front flip, and landed on her feet safely.

Rumi stopped as she then spotted Zephyr, Ava, and Matias on top of a building looking down at her. Her eyebrows narrowed she pointed her daggers at him. "Stop hiding behind your minions! Face me, Zephyr!" She yelled as the boy only chuckled at her pity attempt of calling him to combat her.

Zephyr's cape flowed from the wind that was blowing around them at the moment, "You couldn't defeat me with your best efforts girl" he snarled. Harumi growled, as chains started to wrap around her arm pulling her to the right, and dragging her across the gravel ground.

When Harumi was pulled up against a wall, the chain restraining her ability to move, she yelled out. Her arm was being pulled in a different direction and it was starting to hurt. When she turned she saw a nindroid was running up to her to attack her, rumi gasped. She took her dagger, and then threw it at the droid.

She then kicked the droid back, getting it away from her, As she tried getting the chains off her arm. As she did, she found she couldn't rest because the wall she was on began to sprout swords. "Ah!" She cried out in fear

As she was distracted with that, the wall broke down, and she was in a pile of wood, she coughed. "Ugh I think I got sawdust in my mouth" she groaned. She took a breath as she found she still couldn't rest because she saw from the corner of her eyes a stone warrior was behind her ready to attack.

Rumi continued to fight, but the problem was she was getting tired, and she knew she couldn't rest. As she was in her thoughts she didn't see someone sneaking behind her. "Huh?" She fully turned and then she was promptly kicked through the wooden barrier, but luckily caught herself on a wooden beam.

Rumi breaths heavily, she held her injury arm, as she then saw she was surrounded by the warriors. "I'm starting to think I shouldn't have come alone" she muttered as she saw all the warriors were around her.

On the rooftop, Ava, Matias, and Zephyr looked down at Harumi as it seemed she was slowing down a lot. Ava, getting tired of this, already looked at her friend. "Zephyr You should let me finish her," she said to him.

The sorcerer shook his head, and looked at his friend. "Oh no, Ava. Not yet, first
I want to see her suffer". He says evilly as a smirk sweeps across his face, he laughs, as his two friends look at each other.

The nindroids go to attack Harumi's, they lunge forward towards her as Harumi started to do spinjitzu, since she was getting weaker and weaker, since she was losing her strength after fighting for so long and getting hits on her.

Harumi got knocked down once again she landed on the ground, she was breathing heavily as she held her hand to her head. She didn't know how much longer she could last. She shook her head, she felt so shaky but she needed to continue fighting. She could do this! She had to believe in herself.

Picking up her shaking body, and with shaking breaths. She breathed and took deep breaths, as she held her injured arm. She grabbed her dagger, then launched herself at a nindroid. She did a twirl, she did some maneuvers to avoid getting hit, she did a series of backflips, other gymnastics to avoid their swords.

"I think I might have a chance" she muttered as she did some front flips, as she high kicked a nindroid sending it flying away. As she sent a nindroid flying down she didn't see one coming behind her, and tripping her so she heads down into the pit below. Harumi cried out as she was tumbling down the gravelly hill.

She was hitting rocks, and sliding down the hill until she went down and tumbled into freezing cold water. She didn't come up for a few seconds, until she put her head above water and breathed heavily as she crawled back into shore and layed on her back panting heavily.

After a few seconds, she managed to pull herself up, and when she managed to get to her feet saw above her on the ledge: Ava, Matias, and Zephyr looking down at her. Harumi kept up her defenses, she was so tired but she needed to survive. She was breathing heavily, and had her fist turned at them defensively.

Zephyr looked at Harumi, he almost seemed uninterested, he looked at her then turned towards his friends. "Now you may finish her".

Ava smirked, as she jumped down, to attack her, while Matias watched, he didn't really want to attack her, so he let Clouse, Ava, and a vermilion warrior attack harumi. She tried to brace herself but unfortunately it didn't work. They jumped down to attack her, and Harumi got knocked down on the ground.

As Clouse gave Harumi a hard kick to the face making her groan and leaving a bruise on her face. Harumi let out a tiny cry of pain, as The Vermilion clawed at her chest making her cry out again and go onto her stomach.

Harumi becomes furious enough to use some furious hits on them, Clouse was about to attack her, harumi grabbed him by his shirt and did spinjitzu spinning him around before kicking him far away from her.

Harumi then kicks the vermilion in the chest and knocks them back onto the wooden planks and makes them fall into the water below. She then turned towards Ava as she was looking forward to this. As Ava was trying to punch her arm he did a front flip and somersault and she went on top of the planks above Ava.

The girl tried to find her with me but was unable to, Harumi then looked down at her then jumped down and knocked her down, and away from her. Harumi breaths heavily. "Is it over?"

She assumed the battle was over, and prepared to leave to find her family when she didn't see a certain someone behind her. She raises an eyebrow, as she started to turn when suddenly, she heard muttering and when she fully turned around she was hit in the face with a spell, and was knocked back against a concrete wall.

As she was now barely awake she breathed heavily, as she saw zephyr coming closer and using a weapon she couldn't see due to her blurry eyes, hit her, and she yelled out in pain, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Zephyr smirked, as Matias, and Ava walked over to her, as Harumi's entire body was covered in bruises, injuries, and wounds. Ava heard a buzzing noise and looked down, and grabbed the little device off Harumi's holster. And saw all the texts from her family, and she looked at Zephyr. "There waiting in this dareths apartment"

Zephyr smirks, as he looks at his minions, and his fellow spellcasters. "Bait them out and destroy them!" He commanded. They all nodded, and The overlord had harumi slung over his shoulder as they all walked away.
〜〜
At dareth's apartment, almost everyone was there, having gone to scout to see if they could find harumi, and Lloyd was getting more and more nervous. He didn't know where she was, and he didn't know If she was okay.

Opal watched as Lloyd was pacing, she groaned. "Lloyd stop pacing, you're making dizzy stop pacing, I'm telling you she's fine" however the green ninja shook his head. "No she has to be in danger, she always answers when I message her! Something has to be wrong!"

Opal was about to tell him he was being ridiculous, when Kai, and Cole came into the
apartment. "We gotta move. The villains are coming this way". He says as Nya smiles at Kai! He hugs her brother, relieved. "I'm glad you're okay" Kai smiled at his little sister "Aw, I missed you too, little sister".

They all smiled, as Lloyd groaned out. "Uh, not to break this up, but Harumi is still out there!" He called out. As everyone looked at him, "You still didn't find her?" Kai asked. As Lloyd was about to answer.

All of a sudden Harumi was thrown right into the window and landed hard on the ground. She is completely injured and still unconscious; her family and friends are horrified by her sudden presence.
