We are in for a world of shit now Harumi thought. She pulled at the vengestone cuff uncomfortably. She looked back at Lloyd cuffed to the main mast. Lloyd wasn't looking at her and Morro, but beyond to the tall man holding Bree and little Alanna. Was Bree asleep? She was but the slight bloody nose Harumi could see even from here. She was positive something went terribly wrong when Bree grabbed them both and realm jumped. Bree had spent months carefully taking care of her. Teaching her magic. Telling Harumi all about their pasts and family. What was left of it Bree would say. From everything Bree taught her and told her realm jumping had never made her sick before. And it never left a path of ruble and destruction in it's wake. It looked like Bree was out cold. And several times Harumi saw Bree's magic just fail. That had never happened before Harumi thought. From what she knew of her cousin and had seen her do Bree should have been able to mop the floor with all these idiots combined. Harumi had never before admitted it, but she cared for Bree and Alanna. Bree could have tried jumping away again, but clearly didn't want to and then it was too late. Morro breathed in next to her distractingly. Holding his free hand aloft to catch the breeze as they sped somewhere.

"Where are we going? Harumi whispered to Morro. Glancing up to see if her voice went unnoticed.

"Temple of airjitzu, back to the whole big happy family of ninja brats" Morro answered her remorsefully. "They are not gonna be happy to see me. But hey what's the worst they can do, kill me again" He laughed.

"Bree was right to call you a fruit cake you know that" Harumi responded. "Or are you really not kidding?".

"Nope. I was dead. Cursed realm, departed, ghostly. All that. And then bang. I'm alive and with a brand spanking new body" Morro said almost giddy. "I was kinda assuming your big sister over there had something to do with it. What's her deal anyways? She doesn't look so great right now".

"Cousin. And we have no idea, we were in another realm and jumped here and it all went to shit" Harumi said sullenly.

"She can realm jump, like without a crystal or tea or something?" Morro asked.

"Apparently" she responded. "Or could until that giant dirt bag gets a hold of her" Harumi looked over at Cole scathingly.

"So what's the plan?" Morro asked. "I assume you want to get the hell out of here".

"What plan? We are locked up with vengestone which apparently works on me too. Ill get sent to back to jail at best. If Lloyd doesn't kill me first" Harmui responded.

"I am not in his good graces either. Wu and I have made amends. Lloyd is never going to forget I possessed his body like a puppet for weeks. Who knows how the rest feel" Morro said shrugging.

This earned Morro a raised eyebrow from Harumi. And here we are bonding over all the ways we have screwed Lloyd over she thought to herself.

"And you?" Morro gestured slightly to Lloyds figure cuffed away from them.

"Got him to fall for me and betrayed him. Told him I never felt a thing for him. Let loose unspeakable evil for revenge. You know first date kinda stuff" Harumi said.

Morro threw back his head laughing. Cole looked up annoyed. Lloyd looked like he'd like to rip Morro's throat out. "Go meditate Lloyd, release the anger, glow little glow worm glow" Morro laughed again.

Harumi held her laugh and smiled inwards. Not letting her emotions betray herself. She didn't really know this Morro guy. And she didn't really know what she'd have to do to get her family out of this. Or who she might have to hurt. Surprisingly she didn't relish the idea of hurting anyone to get her way. Bree must be rubbing off on her.

Cole was trying to listen to Harumi and Morro's conversation. Not getting much beyond whispers till Morro started mocking Lloyd. Like that was going to help calm Lloyd down at all. Cole couldn't believe how pissed off Lloyd was. Wu cuffed him to the mast and walked off. I know Wu has a habit of keeping things from us, but this was really bad. Shifting the girl..? Women in his arms. He realized she was sound asleep. What the hell? The baby she was holding was still gurgling and pulling on her hair. But she wasn't moving. Cole shifted her weight in his arms and the women's head flopped back onto his chest. Still breathing he could tell. Sensi Wu said she looked horrible when they all dropped into the monastery with a crash. He also said she could have killed all of them in an instant. Hell she got angry with Lloyd and nearly pulled his arm off. But left and didn't do anything further. Maybe she really did just want to get away from them. Cole looked at the gurgling baby. She had wisps of black hair and grayish blue eyes. Her mothers hair was brown. He couldn't see her eyes. He looked more closely at her face and grimaced in alarm. She was bleeding when she had been fine a few minuets ago. Cole shook her gently and sat up straighter in alarm when she didn't move. Harumi watched his movements and looked wary.

"Hey" Cole started off quietly. Then shook her again and said hey more loudly this time.

The women in his arms roused, looked a little bewildered and then annoyed as she felt the blood on her face. Wiping it with a hand she pulled it back to look. With a small huff she concentrated and pulled a small puff of blue purple magic. Nearly all blue. And with it she vanished the mess off her face and hands. Cole watched with fascination as she did so.

Bree looked up not at Cole but to locked eyes with Harumi again. Harumi saw Bree was able to use her powers a little. Catching on Bree gently gestured with here eyes to Cole and then slightly shook her head no. Apparently Bree can't hurt the tall dark haired man with her powers. But she might be able to use them in some fashion even if he was holding her like a boa constrictor. The ship slowed and dropped altitude. It looked like they were arriving at their destination. Bree looked over Coles shoulder and gasped. It was a tiny floating island. Looking very much like Djinjago. She tried to squirm and get a better look. But Cole was not letting her up. With a huff of annoyance Cole stood up still wrapping his arms tightly around Bree. Now holding her legs off the ground.

"I'm not a child, I have legs, they're not broken. I can walk" Bree said in annoyance.

"Considering you just had a nose bleed and fell asleep in a strangers arms is that really true" Cole responded. Scooping her legs up under his arm and carrying her now.

Bree turned bright pink in embarrassment. Cole didn't take notice as he was watching the other ninja air jitzu their way up on board the bounty. Zane must have talked to them on the coms. Wu must want to interrogate them here on the bounty. The other ninja looked confused at Lloyds being cuffed as well. Cole could hear Nya and Jay giggle when Pixal very matter of fact said Lloyd was not behaving himself. Wu came out of the cabin to stand in front of them all. Bree and Harumi said nothing.

"So would any of you care to explain today?" Wu asked expectantly. Bree and Harumi stayed silent in annoyance.

"Sensi, I have honestly no clue. I was in the departed realm. Then bang, back here. And Lloyd started acting like a fool" Morro stated.

"Fuck off Morro" Lloyd said with slightly less anger than before. Apparently still cuffed to the mast.

"You took a pot shot at strangers, nearly hit a baby with a ball of energy, then get surprised when people get pissed? Your just dam lucky she didn't kill you" Morro said bluntly.

"How was I sup" Lloyd started only to be cut off by Wu.

"Perhaps the ladies would like to elaborate on their side of the story?" Wu asked. Harumi rolled her eyes.

"If you tell the giant to put me down" Bree stated.

"No" Cole said. Bree looked up at him.

Fine she huffed. "We were minding out own business in our own realm. Got attacked by kitsune looking wolves and bears. Tried to realm jump to someplace safe. And landed here in unfortunate circumstances" Bree stated calmly. "I have done nothing wrong except protect my family and yet here you are holding us prisoner. All we want is to get the hell out of this Kappa infested cursed realm and never see you all again".

"My dear" Wu started off only to be snapped at by Bree. "Stop calling me that" she snarled. "And unless you really want this to end up sucking for you let. us. go." Pulling up a round ball of purplish magic Bree let it zap off loose off the side of the ship to prove a point. "So maybe put me down now?".

"Harumi is a fugitive that unleashed unspeakable evil for vengeance, shits and giggles" Lloyd quickly fired back to her from his still cuffed place at the mast. Wu just placed his hands flat over his face. These kids are going to kill me eventually he thought.

Bree looked at Harumi expectantly. "What?" Harumi said.

"Don't what me, what the hell is wrong with you?" Bree argued.

"I told you I made poor life choices!" Harumi shot back.

"What evil did you release?" Bree asked in frustration.

"Me" Garmadon interjected moving to stand beside Wu again. "I am the unspeakable evil and darkness".

"Eww put it back" Bree said in disgust eyeing his blackened visage.

Rubbing his eyes Wu looked like he wanted to say something and then thought better. Bree took the opportunity to look over the group.

"Listen. This beast can't hold me for all eternity. I will get down. I will get my cousin and we will leave this cursed and infested realm and never come back. That you can't stop." Bree stated matter of factly. "Or we make a deal" Bree said narrowing her eyes.

"What deal do you think you could make that we want, you have nothing worth wile to any of us" Lloyd snapped.

"You might not care about being cursed" Bree said evenly. "But what about all your friends? Or you haven't noticed that those Kappa chase them like they have a homing beacon stuck to them? That they will hunt and kill them to extinction once they eat enough elemental power. Or gee I dunno that their lifespans are cut short and they can barely manage one master of their element per generation?"

"You cursed them?" Garmadon asked.

"No" Bree said with a snort. "Whoever cursed all the masters of elements and set those dark abominations on them did that hundreds if not thousands of years ago. I can however undo the curse at least, but it wont kill the kappa themselves. Those have been breeding out of control for who knows how long".

"How?" Wu asked gently. Then added "You call them Kappa?".

"Kappa is the closest origin species I could research and find. Somebody twisted and perverted them into becoming killers. They are usually harmless sweet vegetarians that keep to themselves" Bree responded. "And yes, I have seen my mother uncurse a line of elemental masters, if I get the components for it I can brew a tea that will do it".

"Are you sure it will work, what happens to the elemental masters after words?" Wu asked again.

"No more drawing in kappa like blood to a shark. No more loosing your powers the instant you have a child. Being able to have more than one child per element. Living longer than 80 years. Getting to raise your children safely and teach them how to use and care for their powers from childhood. Any of that sound terrible?" Bree asked. "Whoever cursed the elemental masters really wanted to kill them. End their lines and abilities forever".

"How did you end up not cursed yourself?" Lloyd asked her suspiciously.

"If I had to guess my line of elemental masters was not in the realm of Ninjago when it happened. My family use to bounce back and forth to other realms to see friends and family all the time" Bree said more quietly and sadly. "I have seen barely a handful of elemental masters here in Ninjago. At one point there were hundreds. Entire family's have gone extinct. I can't fix all of it, but I can at least give you the ability to hide. For a price" Bree finished more strongly.

"How can we believe that anything you say is true, or that you will keep a promise. And not lie and disappear. Or worse screw us all over" Lloyd asked still suspicious.

"Because I do not lie. I am a good person. Get me the ingredients and I will brew this tea for you. In the interim I wont be a hostage nor will the rest of my family" Bree answered.

Lloyd looked to Wu. His uncle he could trust. Probably. "Is any of this true, or do we even need this tea?" Lloyd asked him.

"Everything she has said is correct, once we had so many elemental masters we couldn't have fit on this floating rock. And then slowly everyone had fewer and fewer children. Then some none at all or their children didn't inherit their gifts and found other paths in life" Wu looked to Zane and smiled thinking of Zanes father and grandfather. "When all your parents started disappearing or dieing so young I truly thought the elemental masters would be no more".

"But will she hold up her end of the bargin?" Lloyd asked Wu again.

"I can give you a gesture of my good faith and my unbreakable promise" Bree said directly to Wu. Wu gestured to let go of her. Then turning to Cole "I am not light, why not put me down sooner?" Bree asked. Cole gave Bree a smug grin. "Ok weirdo" She thought.

Bree shuffled Alanna to one arm then walked to the mast that held Lloyd. The rest of the ninja moved in closer and more wary. He looked like he wanted to back away from her in disgust. With a huff Bree snapped her arm out and somewhat gently caught Lloyd by his injured arm. Using the same type of magic that she used on herself earlier she healed the injured arm and socket with a glow of blueish magic. "Better?" She asked him. Lloyd was surprised both that she could heal something and that she would.

"Your mother could never do that" Wu said in surprise. In fact the rest of the group was a little awed as well. Except for Cole who had already seen her do such a thing.

"Just because one elemental master has a gift they excel at doesn't mean the next excels at the same thing. There are many parts of the same whole" Bree stated.

"Gotta ask here Bree, what keeps them from breaking their end of the bargain. Say I get thrown in jail or they just kill us both and they take your daughter away and give her to somebody to adopt" Harumi said to Bree. "Its not like were all friends here". Harumi gestured with her free hand to all the faces glowering at her.

"Well what do you say Lloyd?" Bree asked with a sly grin. "I Promise to brew a tea for you if you get me the ingredients. I use my magic, spell work and recipe to uncurse all your elemental friends and you leave my little family here be. You can't kill, hurt, imprison or separate us. And hey look I already did something nice in return" Bree said gently poking his shoulder. Smiling lightly. "Like I said I am a good person, unlike some of us" Bree said. Rolling her head over to make fun of Harumi a bit. Harumi in turn growled.

"I guess we could talk about it" Lloyd began slowly. Ready to look to the others for confirmation.

"And you speak for the others in this realm?" Bree pressed him. Not letting go of him arm.

"Sure yeah why not" Lloyd began again. Wondering why she was being pushy.

"That's all I needed" Bree smiled gleefully. She hadn't let go of his arm and very gently shook it. With a loud pop a bright purple glow of magic enveloped them both and then disappeared. The ninja rushed forward, Zane ready to freeze Bree solid. But Bree had popped out and popped back in a few feet away. She stood back with a devilish smirk on her face.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Wu growled at her.

"What?" Bree asked laughing. The sound chilling down a few spines. "He promised, I promised. He holds up on his end of the bargain. I hold up mine".

"But Lloyd doesn't understand a contract with YOU of all people is binding!". Wu yelled. Stepping forward towards Bree in anger.

"Then maybe men shouldn't make promises they won't keep" Bree snapped. "If you were who you claimed to be then YOU broke a promise and lived to tell about it. I am sure our precious little boy here will do just fine". "Oh and its time to uncuff Harumi. Her and I have lots of work to do".

"What no, that's not going to happen" Nya broke in. Bree looked at her for the first time...like she had two heads then shrugged.

"I don't understand Sensi Wu, whats she going on about?" Cole asked.

Wu looked so angry he could swear. He walked to the railing and faced away from them all for a moment. "Let them all loose. They wont go far as it is" He said.

Lloyd sprang up the moment he was freed. "What did she just do?!" he said quickly.

Sensi Wu turned to them all and said bitterly "You just made a magically binding contract with the elemental master of magic who also happens to be part Djin. A female one at that. Break that contract and I honestly don't know what happens. Nothing good".
