Garmadon growled as he looked at the ninja, as they all were on the ground, coughing and some waving their hands front of their faces. Garmadon couldn't belive it. He was this close to getting her back and they all had to be stupid and throw a smoke bomb and let them get away. He shook his head and then threw his top arms up as he growled at the them.

"What was that?!" He asked practically yelling at the teenagers. Once they recovered they slowly got to their feet and all bowed their heads they all knew they had screwed up and now they put Harumi even more in danger they had let the guy get away and they couldn't of been more ashamed. This was worse than a scolding from master Wu, and even that was bad. With Wu when he was angry it was cleaning up after training was done or laps around the monastery, not to mention sunrise exercise was worse than it usually was, it was more intense and they all were so exhausted they couldn't even get up the next morning or even walk. They could only think of the punishment they'd get when all of this was over.

"We were just trying to help, we didn't mean tâ€""

"Help?! Help? You call that helping? You let him get away with Harumi, and Now we have no idea where he is and what he is going to do with her!" Garmadon yelled his fury intensifying.

Kai then steps in and took a few steps forward. "Look everything is going to be fine, We don't even know if they did mean any harm, and Anyway we can just track them down no problem"

Garmadon gave him such a look that made Lloyd feel so scared. "Tell Kai" he asked as he walked forward and slowly got right into Kai's face. "Do you propose we find them? You let them get away before we could anything to track them"

Kai went to retort "Well we…" he went to suggest something but then shook his head. "Actually no, well actually there's always the option of…" he shakes his head again. "Can't do that either". He laughs nervously, as he looked at Garmadon. "Do…Do you know what we could do?" He asked his voice sounded nervous. As he looked into Garmadon's eyes.

Garmadon shook his head and then put a hand to his face, and sighed. He honestly wondered how these ninja were ever able to defeat him. But then he remembered that was before The ninja became out of practice, and it's been months since they had trained.

"Look what we can do is…" Garmadon started to say when he heard a puppy bark and turned and saw The puppies coming Their way, and Sol had something in his mouth. Mirage, Opal, Wu, and Hutchins was close behind the puppies.

Once the group made the final jump, the puppies getting help jumping to the building they were on, and meeting back up with everyone. Sol walked a few steps after he was put down by Misako, and then dropped the hat in his mouth. He looked around and then asked when he didn't see Harumi.

"Did you get them? Where's Harumi?" He asked as he wa sure Garmadon would be able to rescue Harumi and take down the guy who had messed with her in the first place.

Garmadon then crossed his arms again, as he signed and then looked at the ninja. Who were all shifted awkwardly and avoiding eye contact with both master Wu and Garmadon.

"I was about to Get Harumi away from the guy" he started his deep voice retelling the story. "When the ninja swooped in and stupidly threw a smoke bomb causing them to get away" he explained. As Wu let out a little signed. Mirage gasped and Opal closed her eyes. Misako sighed.

"Looks like, what we need to do now is Try and track down The Man Who Got Harumi" Wu spoke slowly, as he turned to face the group.

"But How Are we supposed to track them down? We don't have anything we can track them with, we have no leads" Opal says.

"That's not entirely true" chimed a voice.

They all turned and saw Sol walking forward so he was in the middle of the group. The other puppies were close behind him, and then they all sat down and looked at the group. Sol then dropped the Hat and then began to speak.

"When we were fighting the grunts, we manged to snag one of their hats" Sol explained as he put a paw on the hat. You could tell he was very proud of himself and a smile slowly started to appear on his small puppy face.
"Can we use this to track, the guy down?" He asked.

Mirage smiled as she knelt down and grabbed the hat in her hands. "This is amazing now we have a chance to go and track down the people who took Harumi!" She said brightly.

Wu nodded, as he shared the same enthusiasm as the girl. They had a fighting chance now and they couldn't be happier. "Let's go and run a trace on the hat, and find out it's origin" he says as the ninja all smiled, and went to take a step.

"Yea let's g-"

"Your not coming"

"Wait what?" Lloyd asked as he looked at his uncle. He thought he was imagining this there was no way they were telling them to sit out of this mission. Especially not when His Yang was the one In trouble. He looked at sensei Wu.

"But master Wu"

"No, I've made my decision Lloyd. You all have done more harm then go, and Have put Harumi in even more danger. Not to mention you have all not trained in months leaving Harumi to defend the city by herself, not completely by herself but you get what I mean"

"Master Wu, just because We haven't trained doesn't mean we can't help! Let us help you!" Nya says as she went and walked infront of master Wu as the group started to head out.

"I'm sorry, Nya my decision is final. I don't want anyone else in danger. Like we've put Harumi in" he says as continued to walk. The rest following, and Then Kai just had to ask.

"What are you talking about, you didn't cause this master Wu they kidnapped her" he tells the old master who shook his head and let out a sign as he bowed bis head and then eveyone went quiet.

"Master Wu what are you talking about!" Lloyd demanded. After he heard what Wu said he wanted to know what exactly he meant by that.

The old master signed as he looked away, and then spoke.

"The whole speech was a set up…" he started to explain. And all the ninja gasped and looked at each other.

"You all have slacked on training, and we all decided it was high time you all start training. So we planned to stage a kidnapping but it obviously didn't go to plan… and harumi is now actually in danger"

All the ninja didn't know what to say, but Lloyd felt so much anger and he couldn't help but walk up to Wu and not exactly get in his face but does get extremely angry. He looked at his uncle with such a burning resolve. But then he looked around and he saw everyone who was in on it looked guilty and avoided eye contact with him and the other ninja. But Lloyd couldn't help but feel so betrayed he felt this way back when harumi was revealed to be evil, but this was different this was his family, not a girl he had been crushing on he clenched his fist then unclenched and he signed.

"I don't know why you did it, and I guess I can kinda understand in a way. But please let us help. We want to help" he tells Wu.

Wu looked up and looked very solem, he looked away from his nephew and shook his head. "I am sorry, it's just not a risk we should take, Lloyd. You could just put her into more danger we cannot have that"

"But we won't! We will be super carful and we will do whatever you say, just please… please let us come with to save Harumi" he begged his uncle. Who just shook his head.

"We cannot risk it Lloyd I'm sorry, for all we know they can be very dangerous. And with all of you out of training you can all get very hurt. Please just go back to monastery we will handle this" Wu tells his nephew.

Lloyd wanted to protest and he wanted to keep begging to let them come with. But before he knew it, eveyone besides the ninja started to walk away, so they could go and use the hat to track the man who has taken harumi and get her back all the ninja felt so sad, and so solemn. They didn't know what to think or do they could only watch as Their family walked away to go save Haurmi as they just had to sit back and watch doing nothing.
