Ninjago: One More Ninja

Chapter 56: Dread on Arrival

"I can't believe Aria left us" Kai said

"Yeah well I don't believe it" Jay said "Aria has to have a plan"

"And she does" Nya handed them a paper "I found this in my pocket, Aria must've slipped it in there, it says "wait for my signal, you'll know it""

"That's our girl" Cole said happily

"Let's go prepare" Kai said and the ninjas ran off

The Sons of Garmadon took Lloyd to the Temple of Resurrection.

"So this is your true face, without the mask. No wonder you covered it." Lloyd said to Harumi

Harumi growled "Bite your tongue, Green Ninja. The fight is all but over"

"Where are you taking me?" Lloyd asked

"Trapped in the Palace of Secrets all my life, it gave me time to make a few...alterations, you could say. Yes, I destroyed the palace, but I was careful not to damage the Temple of Resurrection" Harumi replied

"The ninjas would've burned in that palace if I wasn't still there" Aria said as she joined them

"The Ninja have survived. They are in the city" Ultra Violet informed them

"What was that you said about the fight being over?" Lloyd questioned smugly

"Let them come. If anyone tries to stop me, I always have my insurance policy" Harumi points to Misako getting thrown into a cage.

"Mom!" Lloyd shouted

"Lloyd? She's crazy. She wants to bring back your father" Misako said

"I've been so looking forward to this...family reunion" Harumi laughed

"Let her go. This is between us" Lloyd said angrily

Harumi smirked "No, Lloyd. There was never anything between us. It hurts, doesn't it? There's nothing more powerful than a blow to the heart. We found her after she tracked down young Wu. Helpful of her. Prepare the ceremony. We begin at nightfall"

"I won't let you get away with this" Lloyd said angrily

"Or what greenie" Aria faked whimpered "or you'll cry"

The Son's of Garmadon laughed

"Aria your mom and my mom were friends, would your mother want this" Lloyd questioned desperately

Aria looked him in the eyes "I wouldn't know, she's dead"

-

The Sons of Garmadon have Lloyd trapped in another cage.

"What are you doing?" Lloyd questioned

"The three Oni Masks alone won't bring back your father. For the ritual to succeed, I also need a hair from the son" Harumi plucks his hair "and from the wife" Mr. E lowers Misako's cage, making Lloyd's go up, she plucks her hair.

"And I already collected one from the brother, dear little Wu. So are we all ready to begin?" Harumi questioned

Aria came down with her spell book "Ready"

Ultra Violet, Killow, and Mr. E goes to Harumi with the masks.

"Good. You've brought the masks. Any trouble?" Harumi asked

"Nothing the others can't handle" Killow replied

"Then the ceremony is ready" Harumi said

"I get it. I hurt you. And you want to hurt me, but isn't the way. You don't have to do this. We will stop you" Lloyd said and the Sons of Garmadon laugh.
