"Lloyd, what have you done!?" Harumi said furiously at him. Lloyd stood in front of her in a relaxed position, not regretting what he did. "We're doing this to find a cure for the Flare! Your father won't be happy about this!"

"I don't care if he won't be happy, Harumi! I'm done being his and yours little puppet! I'm done with Wicked! I'm done with the Sons of Garmadon!" Lloyd argued angrily, defending himself. "I'm going to save my friends!"

"Lloyd, be reasonable! We're doing this to find save Ninjago!" Harumi said. "I lost my parents because of the Flare! You lost your mother! Are you going to let more people die!?"

"Die?" Lloyd asked, glaring at her with anger and hatred. "Before I did this, I had to watch MY friends survive in the Maze. All of us were kids when my monster of a father decided to use KIDS as subjects for his little experiments all to find a cure that doesn't exist!"

Harumi walked closer to him and placed a hand on his chest, her face just a couple of centimeters between their lips.

"Lloyd, please. I can't stand the thought of you going into the maze. I... I love you." Harumi said.

She leaned in and tried to kiss him only for Lloyd to push her away from him, causing her to look at him in shock and hurt.

"Lloyd... what happened to us?" Harumi asked quietly. "We're connected."

"There was NEVER anything between us, Harumi. We're better off without you. My heart belongs to someone else." Lloyd reminded.

Harumi felt like her heart has been stabbed into a million pieces but she frowned in anger and a bit of hurt.

"You mean... Poppy? She's not here, Lloyd. Just because she's connected to us doesn't mean anything. That traitor is where she belongs! In the Maze." Harumi spat out angrily, the name of the former girl who was once with them left a bitter taste in her mouth.

"Don't call her that! Unlike you, Poppy did what was right! I don't care if I'm gonna get sent into the Maze for doing what I did or if I won't remember anything, at least I get to see her and the rest of my friends again." Lloyd said.

Harumi opened her mouth to say something but before she could, the door was thrown open and Lord Garmadon walked in with the Sons of Garmadon following close behind him.

Angrily, Lord Garmadon glared at his son. "You told the Resistance!? How could you, Lloyd!?"

"Because you're a monster that has to be stopped! I'm done with the Sons of Garmadon! I'm done with Wicked! I'm done being your little puppet, father!" Lloyd argued, glaring right back at his father.

"I told you that we're doing this to find a cure for the Flare!" Lord Garmadon said.

"It's not worth watching my friends and my girlfriend suffer in the Maze!" Lloyd said. "Go ahead and send me into the Maze! It's better than helping a monster like you!"

The father and son glared at each other, each one of them on the opposite side of the tracks. They were like two trains on the same track about to hit the other, destined to collided.

And so, still glaring at his son, Garmadon say the sentence that broke Harumi's heart.

"Get him ready to send him into the Maze."

Lloyd was inside a large tank that resembled a clear coffin. Harumi stood in front of the observation window with sadness in her eyes while he glared at her with hatred in his eyes. The tank started to filled up with water and the water quickly rose, almost at his hips now.

Lloyd glared at Harumi and flipped her off just as water gushed over her mouth and nose, the liquid filling her lungs and making his mind numb. Knowing that he won't have his memories anymore after this, he closed his eyes and quickly let his mind drift to the memories of his friends for one last time before he forgets them forever.

Bubbles of his friends appears in his mind for one last time as he recalls their names. One by one, the bubbles start to pop and he could slowly feel himself forgetting everything and everyone he once loved.

With his green eyes closed, he let his mind drift to his girlfriend. Even though he won't remember her in the Maze, at least he'll be with her again.

Poppy.

Before his memories of her could pop forever, he told himself one thing that he kept telling himself over the last few days.

I love you, Poppy, always will.

Pop!

Right when his memories of his girlfriend popped, Lloyd felt his mind become a clean state of mind with nothing but his own name as his green eyes closed and he drifted into sleep as everything went black.
