The Ninja land the Bounty in Hollow's Bluff.

"Is this where we'll be living?" Harumi asks

"Just until we know you're safe" Lloyd replies

"Don't you have a headquarters?" Harumi questions

"It's too in-the-open. The Sons of Garmadon will be looking for you. We'll need to keep moving" Lloyd tells her before turning to Aria with an annoyed look "don't you have somewhere to be princess?"

"Indeed I do" Aria says as she stands up "I'm sending our coordinates to my guards now so they can fetch me"

"Fetch" Lloyd scoffs "you act like they're your dogs"

"Of course they're not" Aria replies smugly "I have wolves"

"You're such a smartass" Lloyd says annoyed

"Ok Lloyd" Kai says walking over "back down, we can't do anything against her right now, not until we know for sure she's the one responsible"

Kaname and Hanabusa suddenly appear.

"Princess Aria" Hanabusa says turning to her "we have arrived"

"Great" Aria pats his head "good job boy" she gives Lloyd a smug look

"treating him like a dog" Lloyd mutters

Hanabusa smiles happily "thank you"

"and he's enjoying it" Nya sweatdrops

"Let's get going you two" Kaname says "in result of these past events we have a lot of work to do"

"Awww" Aria whines "why can't daddy handle it, I wanna go play"

"As the Princess of the Shadowlands it is your job to handle these affairs, you were after all the one present for the events" Kaname smiles "right your highness"

"dang it" Aria says before turning to Cole "take care cousin" she looks at Lloyd and smirks "don't die before our final battle greenie"

"yeah as if" Lloyd rolls his eyes

Aria disappears with her guards, they head back to her kingdom.

"I'm home!" Aria shouts happily as she enters the throne room

"And?" Overlord looks up from his documents "did you do it?"

"uh well" Aria looks away "the emperor and empress are dead.."

Overlord stares at her "what went wrong?"

"...the princess is alive" Aria looks down in defeat

"Princess" Overlord sighs "you were supposed to kill all of them"

"I tried" Aria crosses her arms "the stupid green ninja saved her" she looks at him "but I killed the Emperor and Empress, isn't that enough?"

"No, the treaty states that we take over if the entire royal family is dead" Overlord tells her "until the princess is dead you cannot claim Ninjago"

"Greaaaaat" Aria turns around "so all I gotta do is kill a princess heavily guarded by 6 ninja and the sons of Garmadon"

"the Sons of Garmadon?" Overlord questions

Aria turns to face him again "Mhm, it's obvious the princess was the one who planned for them to attack the day I exploded the palace, I was the one in contact with the Quiet One in order for them to even take the Oni Mask, she was prepared to live that day, so it's gotta be her"

"What do you plan to do?" Overlord asks

"duh, I'm not letting her bring back Garmadon" Aria answers "their's only one Dark Lord around here and that's me"
