This looks bad." was the only words spoken by someone in the room for the past twenty-five minutes. Taking a closer look at the poisoned master of amber was the water ninja with a concerned expression. Lloyd who was behind the raven-haired girl tilted his head in confusion. "There's been silence for what? close to half an hour and that's all you have to say?" quite astonished for the words Nya chose, Lloyd commented with mighty disappointment. However, the water ninja didn't let herself back down to a comment like this. "I was examining her and I think I've came up with a conclusion." She turned around to face the other members of her team.

"Let's hear it, mad genius." The white haired girl crossed her arms with a teasingly smile on her lips. Soon, the individuals surrounding Nya and Lloyd quiet down. They waited for the vice-leader's conclusion from her observations. They'd just hope that her choice of words wouldn't be something along the lines of: 'Glowing magenta eyes, that's very intriguing.' Next thing that was heard was something under the expectations of what the team expected for someone as intelligent as Nya. Pacing back and fourth, staying close to the unconscious Skylor, "I don't have enough proof to what this is. That's why I'm planning to spend the whole afternoon trying to figure out a way to awaken our friend. I have a few suggestions on what to try today but if you do have some yourself, feel free to contribute."

The first one to interject was Killow. "So you're telling us you don't actually have a straight answer on how to wake up Skylor?" He asked with crossed arms. Nya immediately answered with an overwhelmed expression. The comrades all around her have just pulled off disappointed and unsatisfied expressions, she instantly knew that she had proven to 'not always be smart.'
"No I don't. That's why I need your help to wake her up." Nya implored her teammates. As a serpentine member was gonna answer, Lloyd did so Instead.
"Guys leave it. It's no big deal right? We can try to wake up Skylor. Well Nya? Tell us your ideas." He declared.
~~~~~~~~
Sitting on a wooden crate was the brown ninja with an impatient expression.
"Why does witchcraft always have to be the first option in awakening someone!" He questioned annoyingly. The green ninja, who was beside him,
"For the last time, it's not witchcraft. It's simply tea. But magical tea if you want to put it that way." He encouraged the adult to support in make-believe. What he didn't know was that Dareth was already quite acquainted with Mistaké's teas. He shook his head in disagreement. "I've already drank some of that tea. Wasn't very magical, Lloyd." He told him his opinion.

The green ninja simply shrugged and turned back forward to face the victim of this whole operation. That they soon called: 'Operation: Amber'. His eyes locked with Skylor's magenta ones. Some could say that she's entranced right about now. But if they just lowered down to see the full expression on her face, they see a frown. That wasn't delightful at all. Harumi was in the room with them, spoke softly. "I really hope this works." She reminded that she still had faith for this mission. Both boys in the room nodded. It was only the three of them inside of there. The serpentine were guarding all over the ship for any SOG break-ins, the previously marooned pirates were by the control centre, the former SOG generals were fixing the bounty's mats and finally, Nya and Mistaké were by the kitchen, boiling the tea.

"When Skylor's awake, what's the next part of the plan, Lloyd?" The white haired continued. If he had to be honest, Lloyd really didn't know. After all, he was just pretending to fit in and ressemble as much as possible his old personality. He couldn't disappoint father. Then again, he was pretty impressed that he managed to get this far without getting the others suspicious of anything going under-way in their small resistance team. The blonde sighed and carelessly responded: "To be honest. Haven't planned that out yet. Any ideas? R-" he stopped himself. Even though the was pulling off the biggest lie in the history of Ninjago so far, he realized that he just vocalized a truth to these enemies of his. He resumed what he had to say. Thankfully, to the ears of Dareth and Harumi, it was just a stutter or possibly he chocked when swallowing. "-Rumi."

She sighed herself and with the rear of her fist, she tapped the wall gently.
"Great. We're here out in the warzone with no plan." She rolled her eyes in frustration. Dareth intervened, looking just as frustrated as she is. "Hey, before you start talking, I'll have you know that we have a sleeping master on line. Skylor's powers are certainly an answered prayer from the FSM. It's best that we get her back up and back in the fighting spirit, got that?" He said in the other woman's defence. Shocked by Dareth's statement, it was true though, they better not risk anything and get Skylor back up for the worst can happen anytime. She turned to Lloyd for guidance. But instead, found the boy looking in another direction. "Lloyd? Hey, are you listening?" She called.

"Don't trust any of them in there, alright baby? They're fools if you ask me. Fools. They're your enemies, they want to hurt your poor daddy and you too. So for your sake, son. Just forego with your mission with no doubts." spoke a man to the blonde boy. He was sitting on his bed and against the wall of his room, holding the communication device on his ear for dear life. A frown was shown on his astray frontage. "Even that white haired girl? Um...what's her name.." he questioned before putting his inquiry into a halt due to the blank his mind just had. The man on the other line sighed. From there, the boy already knew his answer. "No. You can't trust Harumi too. She betrayed me. Not to mention, she betrayed you too." He huffed, trying to prove a point.

Lloyd went silent on his line. Which caused panic to rise by Borg tower where his father was. There were a few beeps as if Garmadon was trying to reboot the system. He knew that from the small whispers he heard. "Is your mic off? What happened?". But much to the dark lord's relief, his son answered with a small groan. "Sorry, I was just thinking. Did.....she hurt me....r—..real bad dad?" His voice broke down into a croak. Not hesitating another minute, Garmadon laughed at his question."real bad? Ofcourse she did son. That's something you should never forget.". But a part of Lloyd wanted to forget, unaware that his old self ended up forgetting about his heartbreak and forgave Rumi in the end. Though, his father's victory came first.

"Heya Lloyd, snap out of it!" came a hurling voice from the brown ninja. As the green ninja blinked in minutes, he found his eyes awfully hurting. He shut them once more and kept it that way for a short while. "Ah—ow." He shrieked quietly. He could certainly tell that wind had gone inside of it and irritated his eye. It was all watery now. Second, it was his contact's reaction to someone entering his eyes. In a small amount of time, his eyes were gonna be swollen in red. He can just see it coming. "Sorry, did I zone out?" He wondered to the three people in front of him. It was Dareth, Harumi and Nya. His eyes widened when he saw Nya.

"Heck yes you did. What were you even thinking about?" The brown ninja responded to his first question. However Lloyd didn't have the kindness to answer his. If Nya was here than that means, "So did it work?" He inquired with fake hope. As he wished, the water ninja shook her head. Then began her explanations. "You see, me and Mistaké prepared a sort of tea where the ingredients mixed with one another would have kicked its effects in the unconscious body almost instantly." She said. Lloyd had turned over to Skylor to see her still asleep. He saw himself smiling on the inside.
'Yes!' he thought mentally with happiness. But Nya continued. "Even though the tea didn't work, me and Mistaké have a good idea on a cure for her poisoning. We can definitely confirm that there's dark magic dancing through her bones and system at the moment. So the reasonable choice is to eject the magic out of her, right? So therefore, we'd have to dethrone Lord Garmadon off his powers immediately.". Lloyd's happy thoughts,
'Dang it!' went downhill.
~~~~~~~~
"I think I may have a solution to all of our problems." Dareth happily stood up from his wooden crate. The other boy and girls watched him approach Skylor. Nya was still holding the teacup from which they inserted the liquid
through the master of amber's eminence lips. "Please do something effective, Dareth." suggested the master of water with an unimpressed look. The brown ninja nodded and bent down to Skylor, who was sloppily leaned on the wall.
A serious face was shown until he pressed both of hands together.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee Skylor! You gottaaaaaaaaaaa wakeeeeeeee upppppppp! Pleaseeeeeeeee I beggggggggggg youuuuuu! This whole team is waitinggggggggg for youuuuuuu! We gotta stop Garmadon! Come onnnnn!" And thus the 'solution to all of their problems' had been announced to be,
"Oh you've gotta be kidding me." a simple beg. Harumi and Lloyd turned towards eachother and both shrugged in union, not knowing how to react the currently sobbing Dareth, who was grabbing Skylor by the shoulders and shaking her, hoping to get her to snap out of it.

Then the white haired girl pumped a fist up and walked towards the door.
"Hm..violence isn't a bad idea-" She was immediately cut off by the green ninja who had his jaw dropped. "Not a bad idea?" He second-doubted her, astonished at what he just heard right about now. However, Harumi shushed him. "I'm not finished. Please listen on. Ahem, violence may seem to be fairly horrible but if someone was hit in the correct spot.." instead of finishing, she sprinted out to presumingly fetch someone who could help.
~~~~~~~~
Five tails were aligned on the redhead's cheek. Dareth and Nya watched as those scaling tails violently slashed against the master of amber's head.
By the speed of lightning, you could identify which serpent each tail belonged to. Purple tails, red tails and blue tails. "What do you think you're doing?!" The water ninja rushed towards them, the hitting didn't cease. The water ninja watched helplessly as bruises and scratches were formed on the unconscious girl's cheeks. Harumi slid over to Nya. "Atleast she's not conscious to actually feel rig-" she was cut off by a scold by Nya. "Who cares about that! She'll have physical injures when she's awake! I'm sure Kai's already kicking my rear from the other side." She growled.

Pythor etched his head to face Nya. He didn't need to have all of his body turned to the test dummy he was practically hitting. "Don't worry about it too much Nya. Us serpentine actually used this method ourselves when a comrade of ours was down. It worked." He turned back to Skylor and raised his tail. From seeing it in actual, someone can instantly tell je added more force into his attack. His tongue pronounced these last words: "Half of the time."
The water ninja shook her head, her growls becoming louder. "You know what! How about we do this without violence?" She immediately dismissed the snakes.

When the snakes were out, the remaining members in the room glanced at Skylor. Who was now found on the ground with scratches, scale marks and bruises all over her forehead and bottom lip. The water ninja sighed in frustration. Though Mistaké raised a cup in her direction. It was simple to understand, she offered a cup of tea to hopefully relax her nerves. But the water ninja refused, instead, she pulled on her hair. "This was not what I wanted. You know?" She informed her teammates. Dareth nodded with his arms crossed. "Yeah I'm aware of that now. Surprisingly, I thought you liked violence, Nya." he claimed. The water ninja nodded. "On ennemies."

The white haired girl sneakily walked over to Skylor. Only to have the green ninja's eyes on her. He lifted a brow as he noticed she was in tippy-toes.
'Rumi's awfully cheery today." He concluded in his mind. That's when he noticed that the girl had wrapped an arm around the master of amber and say her up. "Rumi...what are you doing?" Lloyd trailed off his voice, getting suspicious at what the former princess was gonna do. Harumi sneered and placed her free hand on Skylor's shoulder. From there, "Skylor! Wake up!"
Skylor was seen being shaken by Harumi.

The water ninja and Lloyd immediately lunged at her. "Hey hey-" Harumi chocked out In pure laughter. However, she was hushed by Nya who placed her gloved palm over the girl's lips. Her cries of amusement were turned into muffled pleads to escape their grasp. "N-Not fwair, twoo on onun.." the princess tried to speak. The water ninja looked at Lloyd. "Keep her as far away from Skylor as possible, alright?" She instructed. The boy nodded and smiled at Harumi who became all fussy after he agreed to restrain her. As if already knowing what Harumi would say to him, he said: "Sorry Rumi! She's right. You've gotta give Skylor a break."

All Dareth did was watch alongside Mistaké, who took a sip out of her tea. He turned to the older woman a bit nervously. He was playing with his bare fingers.
"Hey Mistaké, I think I learned something about Nya." He tried to catch her attention. The grey-haired woman put her teacup down. She returned glances with Dareth and responded. "And what is that, young Dareth?" She questioned for the reply. The man didn't take a few minutes to formulate his words. After seeing what happened. He already knew what to say. "Nya was wrong. She said she only attacked enemies but here she is attacking an ally. I'm confused." He wasn't scared to open up on his curiosity to the older woman. She simply laughed after hearing what Dareth had to say. "You see, young Dareth. She's not exactly wrong. She's fighting a former enemy of ours. Harumi was our former rival." She reminded. What she didn't know was that Harumi wasn't the enemy this time, but Lloyd.

A/N Hey guys! LillaSmolBean here. Thanks for reading chapter 26 of Reconciled hearts! I hope you guys enjoyed! If you did, please feel free to leave a vote and comment down below your thoughts or predictions! We're interested and would loved to hear them! Anyways, I must inform you that this chapter was extremely last minute. I've been busy all week, homework and I just wanted to play games more often. Since my finals are coming up, I won't have much time for that as well. So right now, this is a good example of what I call: a rushed chapter. I had all of my ideas written down for this specific chapter however I had written this at Thursday May 23rd at 8PM(Finished at 9:21PM) So I guess my main intention in this chapter was comedy? I tried to fit in as many jokes as I could of this one since this type of chapter would be better executed if it was a montage in the actual show. Anyways, that's my note finished. I actually don't have much to say. I'll see you guys later! Cya!
