What happens Next?
Find Out Now!
August 4th, 2043. . .
8:15 p.m.
Royal Palace of Ninjago.
A 5 year old Princess is playing with her Twin Brother. . .
Person : I'm going to catch you.
Person 2 : By all means try, you couldn't with your bat, what makes you think you can with your legs.
The two of them ran through the Palace until they ended up in their Parents room.
As they entered, their Mother slid the door shut, and smiled mischievously and put her hands on her hips and shook her head.
the two of them giggled and then their father walked out of the closet on the opposite side of the room and mischievously smiled as well and shook his head.
Mother : You little kids don't want to deal with The Son of Garmadon and The Quiet One, now do you?!
The two of them smiled as they shook their heads, and tried to back away, but they were surrounded with no way out of the room.
Father : Well too bad, I'm just glad I don't have the same evil touch as my Father.
Mother : Lloyd, really?
Lloyd : Oh come on, I thought it was the right thing to say, Rumi.
Empress Harumi : But not the right thing to do.
Lloyd and Harumi raised their arms as they surrounded their kids, and Montgomery looked at Lydia and nodded.
Lydia and Montgomery were supposed to get ready for bed and were already wearing their pajamas, but they wanted to play one more game with their parents.
Just as Harumi was about to grab her son, Montgomery slid around her and slid the door open and ran, and Harumi chased him.
Empress Harumi : Get back here, Green Ninja!
Lydia tried to run, but Lloyd grabbed his daughter by her waist, and pulled her onto his bed and started tickling her.
Princess Lydia : *Laughing* Daddy, come on. . . Stoooooooop!
Lloyd : Nope, not done yet, Granddaughter of Garmadon.
Lydia kept laughing as Lloyd kept tickling her, and Lloyd smiling that Lydia was happy with him playing with her.
Montgomery : I'm coming little sister.
Montgomery actually used his powers and blasted Lloyd off of Lydia, and Lydia tried to stop laughing and crawl off the bed but the second Montgomery grabbed his sister's hand, Harumi came in, closed the door, and put her hands on her hips as she gave an evil laugh.
Lloyd stood up and snapped at his son.
Lloyd : Okay Son, that was totally unfair.
Montgomery : Was too!
Empress Harumi : Okay, then I guess it's fair for us to do this.
Harumi and Lloyd slowly walked towards both sides of the bed with their kids sitting in the middle and holding each other, Lydia looked at Lloyd, and Montgomery looked at Harumi as they both had their evil smiles and they raised their arms and were moving their hands.
Montgomery : Please don't.
Princess Lydia : No Daddy, no!
Lloyd : Too late!
Empress Harumi : We Gotcha!
Harumi and Lloyd pinned their kids down, and started tickling them, making them laugh to death.
Lydia and Montgomery : *Laughing*
it was making Lloyd and Harumi smiled that their kids were having fun with them, and since their kids were happy, they were happy.
Lloyd and Harumi then both climbed on the bed and grabbed their kids to tickle them even more, when Lydia was starting to get free and tried to crawl off the bed through her laughter.
Princess Lydia : This ends now, Emperor Garmadon!
Lloyd : Oh really, that's how it's gonna be.
Princess Lydia : Wait no, No!
Lloyd got off the bed, grabbed his daughter by her waist, and spun around while carrying Lydia in her arms, making her laugh, and Lloyd tickled her again while he was carrying her, making her laugh as she moved Lloyd's hand and hugged her.
Princess Lydia : *Laughing* I love you so much Daddy. . .
Lloyd : I love you too, Lydia.
Empress Harumi : Time for some more fun.
Harumi grabbed Lloyd's hand, and pulled him and Lydia onto the bed again, and they both started tickling Lydia and Montgomery again.
Lydia and Montgomery : *Laughing*
After about five more Minutes, Lloyd and Harumi finally let their kids catch their breath.
Montgomery : Mom, Dad, can I go to sleep now, I've had enough of the The Quiet One and Emperor Garmadon's Torture of Tickling.
Empress Harumi : Okay, Son.
Montgomery hugged his Father, and let his Mother kiss his cheek, and he left the room, but Lydia smiled at her father, and he nodded his head, Harumi got into the bed also, and let Lydia snuggle up close in between her parents, but Harumi knew Lloyd was Lydia's favorite.
After about 10 Minutes, Lydia was starting to doze off and Harumi looked at Lloyd, and he nodded.
Empress Harumi : Goodnight, and may your dreams be wonderful, hush a bye, hush a bye, and Goodnight to you and, may your dreams be as wonderful as You.
Harumi looked at Lloyd and he nodded again.
Harumi and Lloyd : So sleep deep, Because the spider's in the house. Sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse. Sleep deep. Don't wake up or else you'll find a spider in your mouth.
Lydia fell asleep laying against her father, and Lloyd laid back and let Lydia sleep next to him, and then Montgomery came back with Lydia's Nightlight, and gave it to his Mother, Harumi turned the light on, kissed her son's check and let him leave the room, and Harumi laid down as well, with Lydia lying down in between her parents, and smiled in her sleep, glad that instead of moving her, their parents cared about their daughter, and let her sleep with the ones she cared about, just as much as they care about her. . .
February 20th, 4:12 p.m.
"My Daddy and Grammy would probably say I've gone Mad, but I don't know if he can understand the Wrath and Cruelty, and Brutality going through my veins, and into my Heart, my Mommy and my Aunt would understand, but at the Moment, they aren't here, but they will be soon enough, and I don't care what my "Friends" would think, because Kai and his Family are responsible for this whole mess, and somebody has to pay. . ."
Lydia was still holding the picture of her sitting on the steps of the palace with her family. . .
She pulled out one more picture, and it was of her and Montgomery wearing their pajamas, and they were sitting on their parents bed with Lloyd and Harumi.
Montgomery was sitting on Harumi's Left and she wrapped her arm around him, and Lydia was sitting in Lloyd's lap and he had his left arm underneath Lydia's, and Lydia was using her left hand to hold Lloyd's to her heart.
Princess Lydia : I miss you Daddy. . .
Lydia grabbed a red note out of her pocket and read what it said.
"I don't care what it is you do, just so him you are as Quiet as your Mother was"
Lydia smiled mischievously at the note, and looked at Charlie.
Charlie : The Oni Temple.
Lydia smiled at Charlie and he looked at the pillars.
Charlie ran and jumped onto a pillar, and he looked back at Lydia
Lydia nodded and she ran and jumped onto a pillar next to Charlie but she almost lost her balance.
Princess Lydia : *Scream*
Charlie : Liddy, it's okay, I'm right here.
Lydia gave Charlie a light smile and he continued jumping across the pillars.
Charlie jumped across three more, and the third he landed on had a few rocks crumble off.
Charlie : If The Mask of Hatred is here, it isn't going to come easy. . . Trust me Lydia, I've seen my share of deadly tombs in the past half year, follow my every step.
Lydia nodded and she jumped across more pillars.
Charlie jumped on another that had a weird symbol and it crumbled underneath his feet.
Princess Lydia : Charlie!
Charlie jumped across and held onto the pillar he grabbed and pulled himself up.
Charlie : Okay then, don't touch any with that symbol on it.
Lydia nodded but as soon as Charlie turned around she got a mad serious look on her face and touched a pillar next to her with her hand and it crumbled.
Charlie : What's happening?
Princess Lydia : I don't know, I didn't touch anything!
Charlie : Liddy, the exit!
Lydia turned around and saw the exit was closing.
Charlie tried to jump back and reach it.
Princess Lydia : No, no, no, no, no, no, no, No!
The exit closed before Charlie could reach it and he sighed.
Charlie : I guess there's no turning back now.
Charlie jumped across the pillars once again.
While Lydia let another serious look onto her face.
Meanwhile on The Amber's Grace. . .
The Sons of Garmadon were cheering since Liv and Liam weren't enough and they tied them up in the middle of the deck.
Ultraviolet : Time for business, where is The Amber Ninja?
Kai : I will never tell you where my Son is!
Mohawk : Mr. E found them.
Ultraviolet : Good work Mr. E, The Oni Temple is fifteen miles north, set a course for The Quiet One.
Nya : You don't have to keep calling her that, we know who The Quiet One is.
Liv : Really, who?
Liam : Yea, who is it?
Nya : I don't know how to tell you two this.
Ray : The Quiet One is the The Not-So-Grateful Gold Princess, See Nya, Easy!
Nya and Kai : Dad!
Liv : WHAT?!
Nya : It's True, the signal originated from The Amber's Grace, the only one besides any of us was the Princess.
Liv : I've seen Lydia so happy with Lloyd and Harumi, there's no way she would just flip like this, I would have nothing to gain from Lloyd's death especially after I finally let go of my Father, Liam and Alizah had nothing to do with this, because before The Royal Palace, they were with me the whole time.
Montgomery : That and I was on the opposite side of Ninjago for the Baseball Team's Championship. . . which may I add-
Felicia : You Won, we get it!!
Ultraviolet : Now, we not only have The Quiet One's Location, but we also have the three parents we need to help us complete our mission, Kai Smith, Nya Walker, and above all else, Liv Harlow "Tempest" Garmadon.
Liv : Say Tempest one more time, and the second I use my powers on you, they will blast your head clean off!
Liam : You really don't want my Mom angry... well she's not as bad as my little sister.
Alizah : No argument there.
Liv snorted at what Liam and Alizah said, glad they get along even during a troubling time.
Ultraviolet : Well good luck escaping!
Liv saw her arm was loose, and she knew she had to help her niece, if there was a chance she wasn't The Quiet One.
Liv : That's it!
Liv pulled her arm out and blasted her chains, and ran straight to jump off the ship, and used her dragon, and went flying straight towards The Oni Temple.
Ultraviolet : No!
Mohawk : Maybe we should forget her, she'll be at the same place we're going.
Ultraviolet : Fine!
Xavier : In any past time our old villains have tried using more deadly ancient evil, it never ends well.
Nina : Yea just ask Pythor, Morro, Master Chen, The Skull Sorcerer, Vex The Formless, even Lord Garmadon him-freaking-self.
Ultraviolet : Yes, but be glad that The Quiet One is not a bad guy, but a bad girl. . .
Maya : We can only hope Charlie sees through Lydia, before Ultraviolet gets to the Oni Temple.
Near The Ship
Eric : Killow, I see The Amber's Grace, it's making a beeline for the Temple, they're heading towards The Quiet One's Location, we may not be able to save her.
Killow : Don't worry about The Quiet One, Lizard, I'll handle that when we cross that bridge, until then, follow the ship, and if The Quiet One follows this plan and heads with The Sons of Garmadon, we may be able to bring them down for good.
Eric : Are they really going to kill my Uncle and my Mother?
Killow : I hope not, but sadly Jay is already gone, Ultraviolet is planning to bring back Jay with The Mask of Fear, which we can actually use since Alex has it, but remember, if we want to win this new Criminal War, some of us have to lose it, and follow the enemies' plans for it.
Princess Alex : I hate to admit this, but he's right, this isn't the real fight Eric.
Eric : I understand, I just hope our parents can do the same.
Meanwhile in The Oni Temple. . .
Charlie and Lydia were running up the stairs which were crumbling.
Princess Lydia : Oh my. . . Charlie!
Charlie grabbed Lydia's hand and they kept going.
Charlie : almost there.
When the last of the stairs broke, Charlie wrapped his arms around Lydia's waist and jumped up to throw her up to the top, and she grabbed his hand and helped him.
Charlie : Are you okay?
Princess Lydia : Yes, but I can barely see.
Charlie grabbed a torch off the wall, and absorbed Lydia's powers and mixed them with Fire to create a Golden Light.
The two of them walked through a tunnel and were walking up a staircase and looking at weird pictures on the wall
Princess Lydia : What is this Place?
Charlie : It's their story?
Princess Lydia : Who?
Charlie : The Oni... See there, It's Amazing.
Princess Lydia : That... and they must have built this place.
Charlie : When your great-grandfather escaped their world... they must have come looking for him.
Princess Lydia : Who?
Charlie : The Oni, he was the key to winning The Oni's Eternal War with the Dragons, same way in their case, but surely the dragons never came looking for him, even if he fought beside Firstbourne, and Ninjago was a new world to their kind, I'm guessing they were holed up here, which explains all the traps.
Charlie : I think it's a dead end.
Just then, Something caught Lydia's eye.
Princess Lydia : Look, it's the same symbol we saw earlier, I'm guessing you can use your powers to break through one of the walls, if this one has the symbol, then it has to be booby trapped.
Charlie : That's worth a shot, Charlie was about to fire at the blank wall, but then he stopped.
Princess Lydia : What's wrong?
Charlie : If the Oni wanted to protect The Mask of Hatred, they would know anybody who got this far would avoid the markings.
Princess Lydia : What do you Mean?
Charlie : This wall has to be the way.
Charlie pointed at the wall with the symbol but Lydia looked down.
Princess Lydia : But you can see the Water, if we break the wrong wall then the whole room will flood.
Charlie : Then I hope I'm right.
Charlie used his powers and shot the wall, making it crumble.
Then they saw the tunnel was clear.
Charlie : Nice, Let's Go.
Princess Lydia : Okay.
Charlie grabbed the torch back and continued walked, and Lydia let another mischievous smile onto her face.
She then caught up with Charlie, and they walked to the end of the tunnel and were in shock by what they saw in a Purple Flame and a Golden Flame.
Charlie : Two Masks?!
Princess Lydia : The Masks of Hatred and Agitation. . .
Charlie and Lydia walked across the Stone Bridge heading towards the Masks, but Charlie slipped and fell on the edge, and dropped the Torch.
Princess Lydia : Charlie!
Lydia helped Charlie stand up and they walked closer to the Masks.
The Masks of Hatred and Agitation had the exact same design, only the Colors were different, The Mask of Hatred was Lavender and Purple, while The Mask of Agitation was Yellow and Dark Yellow.
Charlie tried to grab them, but he couldn't, and then Lydia tried The Mask of Hatred, but it wouldn't work either.
Charlie : I don't get it.
Princess Lydia : I think I do, only somebody with Oni and Dragon blood can take the Masks, but one leans on more than the other, One who's closer to the dragon-
Person : One closer to the Oni.
Lydia and Charlie turned and saw Liv running towards them.
Princess Lydia : Aunt Liv!
Lydia ran and hugged her aunt, and Liv got a thought in her head.
"I guess Kai and Nya were wrong"
Charlie : Well, grab the Masks then, we need to get them and leave.
Liv reached through The Purple Flame, and grabbed The Mask of Hatred.
Liv : It feels like a lifetime since this thing was in my hands.
Charlie : Be careful, Liddy.
Lydia nodded as she approached The Golden Flame, and reached through it.
Lydia reached through, and laid both hands on the Mask, waited for the flame to start disappearing, and she pulled the Mask from the Pedestal, and she heard the same Oni Cry that Liv did when she had touched an Oni Mask for the first time.
The second she did though, Charlie grabbed it and held the Mask in his hands.
Princess Lydia : Can I-Can I see it?
Lydia reached for the Mask, but Charlie moved his hand.
Princess Lydia : I just wanna see It.
Liv : Lydia, how did you know?
Princess Lydia : It's an Oni Temple, it seemed safe to be that only people bonded to the Masks through Oni Blood could take it, like me.
Liv : No, how did you know about The Mask of Agitation. . . it was something I heard that Mystake called us about, she said that The Mask of Agitation was the only one that was closer to the blood of the Dragon rather than the Oni, but how did you know that, the only ones who were there, were Me, Charlie, Felicia, Nina, Xavier, and Liam.
Princess Lydia : I know, I heard it from Nina.
Liv : That doesn't add up. . .
Lydia kept trying to grab the Mask of Agitation, because Liv grabbed it from Charlie and he held the Mask of Hatred.
Liv : I don't wanna believe this Lydia. . .
Princess Lydia : Believe what?
Liv : You... Kai and Nya were right. . . You're The Quiet One?!
Princess Lydia : What, how can you say that?
Liv walked away from Charlie and Lydia, still holding the Mask of Agitation.
Liv : That makes sense now, just like your Mother, the greatest villain is the one you never knew was there in the first place, You said that!
Princess Lydia : Oh yes, an almost seven year old princess is behind this, how could I have done this mess, Do you realize how ridiculous you're sounding Aunt Liv, and you Charlie, I, I love you.
Lydia tried to kiss Charlie, but he shoved her.
Charlie : Get back!
Princess Lydia : Charlie. . .
Charlie : You only wanted Liv and I to find the Masks for you!
Princess Lydia : They would have already been my Masks if you're obnoxious friends hadn't joined The Sons of Garmadon!
Charlie : Wait, The Oni's Mercenaries are part of The Sons of Garmadon.
Lydia mischievously smiled at Charlie and put her hands on her hips
Princess Lydia : Oh, that's right, you didn't know, I knew to keep you two close, and not everything goes to Plan, now give me, The Masks!
Charlie : Lydia, stop.
Liv : No, I can't let you bring your Grandfather back, not like that.
Princess Lydia : Well then, if you won't give it to Me.
Lydia then used her powers and kicked Charlie and Liv to make them drop the Masks.
Princess Lydia : Then I, will take them!
Lydia then tried to grab the Masks, but Charlie used Montgomery's Powers to blast the Masks near the edge.
Charlie : Why?!
Charlie tackled Lydia and began wrestling with her, while Liv listened to them.
Princess Lydia : I never asked to be The Quiet One, just like I never asked to perhaps, just become an Orphan, but you and your family gifted me that!
Charlie : How did I do that?
Princess Lydia : My Grandfather, The same night the Palace was attacked, before I became the Quiet One, I saw my Grandfather trying to escape, I remember meeting him at Kryptarium for the first time, and it was the first time he was really happy on his evil side, for a moment there I thought he could have been saved, and oh... Charlie, you weren't really dumb enough to think that nobody got hurt that night, did you?!
Charlie shoved Lydia off of him, and she faced Liv and Charlie.
Princess Lydia : It wasn't until the so called "Great and Almighty Blacksmith" Kai Smith had to just show up and save the day, that security footage was edited by Xavier to not have me become upset, but the second I heard he was gone, tears did nothing but form inside of my eyes, The Commissioner didn't think a video and some words would be enough to cover his bullet. . . Your father was behind it all. . . Kai killed my Grandfather!, and during The Sons of Garmadon's attack, you let my parents die as well. . .
Princess Lydia : I died that night too!
Charlie and Liv fired up their powers and began to blast The Masks of Hatred and Agitation.
Liv : Well Princess, give us one reason not to say goodbye to them right now!
Princess Lydia : I'll give you Four, One Charlie, you want to see your Mother and Grandfather again, and Two, you Love me, Three Aunt Liv, you love me as well, and so do my brother, and my cousins even if they never choose to admit it, and Four, you Promised my father you would look after me, Whatever it takes!
Liv suddenly had a flashback
The Royal Palace Attack. . .
Liv was with Lloyd running towards the exit, but a huge flaming pillar of debris covered them.
Liv : Lloyd!
Lloyd : Liv, I need to ask you something!
Liv : What?!
Lloyd : It looks like this is my end, I need you to do something for us.
Liv : No Lloyd, don't say that, I can help you.
Lloyd : There's no time, I just need you do something for me.
Just then more Flaming debris were falling down and coming towards Lloyd.
Liv : What?
Lloyd : Take care of Lydia for me. . . Please.
Liv had tears in her eyes as she nodded her head.
Liv : I will. . . I promise!
Lloyd used his powers and blasted Liv away from the flaming debris as they landed on Lloyd.
Liv : Nooooo, Lloyd!
The Flashback ended and Liv shook her head.
Liv : No. . .
Princess Lydia : Yes!
Lydia tried to attack, but Charlie used Spinjitzu and threw Lydia behind the Pedestal.
She came back up, and walked around a Rock, and the holster that was still on her hip, she pulled her Silver Dagger out of it
Princess Lydia : If it were only that easy for you two.
Charlie : So you did this, you made my ship Crash!
Princess Lydia : It was a calculated risk!, your sister and your aunt were so close to the truth I couldn't let them stop Me.
Charlie : Feeding the Poor, Acting Scared, it was all an act?!
Princess Lydia : Ah Yes, the Damsel in Distress, despite it being 2045, you Young Ninja really are from another time.
Charlie : You did all of that to trick me?!
Princess Lydia : WRONG!
Charlie and Liv were shocked by Lydia's shouting and they let her speak
Princess Lydia : That night I spent with you Charlie was nothing but from my heart, helping the people, it wasn't until the fateful night that came after when those bikers came into my home, and the only thing that made it my home, was taken away from Me. . .
Charlie : The Emperor and Empress?!
Princess Lydia : YOU, Took my Parents away From ME!
Princess Lydia : To help Ninjago, I had to do whatever I could to repress those feelings. . . I had to then wear my own masks, until the time came for me to take it off, and take my own control, and I had to be smarter and stronger!
Liv : You were Never protecting Ninjago, Lydia.
Charlie : You were only after Revenge!
Princess Lydia : Tell me this, Both of You, How many times has Ninjago almost fallen on both watches, from 2014-2028, to 2044-Now, Let me ask you, who's the Real villains here, the ones trying to take Ninjago, or the ones who try to "Defend" it, and only get more hurt in the Process. . . Like, ME. . . My Mother was right, at this age, despite you being the most Honorable, it still doesn't make you Ninjago's Protector, it still makes you, and every one of them, much like Me, a bunch of kids playing dress-up. . .
Princess Lydia : Ninjago is my home too, and Using those Masks, with my Parents by my side again, I will restore it all to Glory, and give it the Leader it truly deserves. . . Lloyd Garmadon!
Charlie : Alright, That's it!
Charlie pulled out his Mace, and Lydia charged, but the second Charlie tried to attack, Lydia grabbed the Mace and threw it over the edge ( Good thing he had another on The Amber's Grace ) and Lydia kicked Charlie back.
Princess Lydia gave an evil laugh and raised her arms.
Charlie stood up and had The Mask of Agitation.
Princess Lydia : *Gasp*
Charlie : Then I guess. . . this is goodbye!
Princess Lydia : Nooooooo!
Lydia ran and jumped over the edge to Grab the Mask of Agitation, and used her dagger and stabbed the rock to keep her from falling.
Charlie : Liddy!
Charlie reached for her hand, But Lydia grabbed The Mask.
She gave an evil laugh and put the Mask on.
Charlie : Okay, that didn't go to plan.
Lydia jumped up very high, and landed on the middle of the platform, and Charlie saw she was covered in Stone.
Princess Lydia : This isn't going to be a fair fight.
Lydia dropped the dagger and Charlie stared at her.
Charlie : What did the Mask, do to you?!
Princess Lydia : The Mask of Agitation, is like the Twin to the Mask of Hatred, different weapons, yes, but the same, is and always will be, a taste of Invincibility, too bad for you!
Charlie managed to grab his Mace, and try to hit Lydia but the second it made contact it broke in half.
Liv : What happened to you, Lydia. . .
On The Amber's Grace. . .
The Ship stopped right in front of The Oni Temple, and Ultraviolet was watching the kids. . .
Felicia : Does anybody mind scratching my itch?
Ultraviolet : Shut it Hair Gel Jr.
Ray smirked at what Ultraviolet had said and she annoyed him back.
Ultraviolet : You too Hair Gel Sr.
Felicia : Well at least I'm not alone.
Ultraviolet : Oh wait, Sorry, Kai is Hair Gel Jr, you are the great "Hair Gel The III"
Hutchins : Right, that makes Perfect sense.
Inside The Temple. . .
Lydia grabbed Charlie, and punched his Chest, and he groaned as he got up to his knees.
Charlie : You can hurt me all you want, but I will stop you for this!
Princess Lydia : Ha ha ha, Physical Pain can only hurt you so much, and I intend to do far worse. . .
Charlie : What's that?
Princess Lydia : You will see in time!
Charlie : What do you want?!
Princess Lydia : I want you to finally feel the emptiness that I feel, and when your Mother and Grandfather are Reborn, neither will be the people you recognize and I want their cold blooded, once snake scaled hands, to destroy you!
Charlie : You're a Monster, I'll never feel what you feel Lydia.
Princess Lydia : We will see about that.
Charlie couldn't get over the Golden Veins of Agitation engraved in the Stone body, nor the Gray Stone Skin he could see through Lydia's White Hair. . .
Princess Lydia : For I am two steps ahead.
Liv : Forgetting something?!
Lydia turned around and saw Liv was about to use The Mask of Hatred, so Lydia fired her Creative powers and it blasted the mask up, and off one of the rocks, and it went straight to her hands.
Princess Lydia : Thank you, Aunt Liv.
Lydia turned and ran and Charlie saw what she was doing.
Charlie : Lydia, No!
Lydia then blasted a hole in the roof of the Temple and Liv grabbed Charlie's hand.
Liv : Come on!
Liv used her dragon to fly out and took Charlie with her.
Outside the Temple. . .
The Sons of Garmadon didn't know about Killow's Betrayal, so he came to the Temple Entrance when he saw a Golden Flash, when the dust from the explosion cleared, he saw a little girl with Stone Skin standing there and was holding The Oni Mask of Hatred in her hand, and wearing The Mask of Agitation.
Killow : The Quiet Mistress has found The Masks, now we have Six!
Lydia took the Mask off, and put her hands on her hips and smiled Mischievously as she handed The Mask of Hatred to Ultraviolet and kept The Mask of Agitation for herself.
Princess Lydia : Now I believe we have a Ceremony to attend to... Take the ship.
3 Minutes Later. . .
Lydia was walking outside the temple with Killow and her troops before she got surrounded.
Felicia : Freeze!
Kai : Not so Fast!
Maya : I wouldn't want you guys to leave so soon.
Nina : Now it looks like we have the upper-
They surrounded the bikers, until the rest of the Sons of Garmadon surrounded them
Ultraviolet and Mr. E then jumped off the shrubbery behind them, Ultraviolet was near Nya and Mr. E was near Nina and Ray.
Ray : Oh, Come On!
Nina : Pixal, Xavier, I thought you said we had them outnumbered.
Xavier : That was before I knew how many there were.
Xavier pointed his shurikens at Lydia, and Felicia and Kai pointed their swords towards her, and so did Ray, and Nya and Eric pointed their spears at her.
Lydia kept her serious look on her face, and didn't look scared at all.
.
.
.
Montgomery : Can somebody please say something, this is getting anxious.
Ultraviolet : Well isn't the Prince a lovely pickle.
Kai : Where's my Son?
Princess Lydia : The Amber Ninja can't help you now.
Nina : Okay, remember how I didn't care for her at first, and she won me over with her Girl talk, and then we starting getting to know each other, yea, well now I hate her!
Ray : I don't get it.
Maya : Why are you doing this Princess?!
Princess Lydia : Your Son, knows the exact reason why!
Maya and Ray both looked at Kai and he quickly shook his head, before Lydia punched his chest.
Maya : Kai, what is she talking about?
Kai : I'm not telling you, not now, and not here.
Mr. E was about to use the Mask of Vengeance, when Xavier pointed his weapons at him.
Xavier : Don't even, think about it.
Kai : This can end two ways, either you peacefully hand the Masks over-
Nina : Don't even need to finish, I like that one.
Princess Lydia : Or What?!
Kai : Or we'll have to get all ninja up on you.
Princess Lydia : What does that even Mean?!
Kai : I don't know, I was improvising, usually my Son does the talking but he isn't here.
Alizah : Wow, The Master of Fire's an idiot.
Montgomery and Nina both laughed at what Alizah said, and Kai gave her a dirty look, and Lydia let another evil smile onto her face.
Princess Lydia : No argument there.
Princess Lydia : Soon Kai, you won't be here either.
Kai : Where is Charlie?!
Just then a huge purple blast came from behind the waterfall, and Liv dropped Charlie off her dragon and the others caught him.
Nya : Charlie.
Charlie : Guys, Princess Lydia is The Quiet One.
Lydia smiled mischievously and spoke.
Princess Lydia : They already figured that out, scumbag.
Just then everybody saw a huge claw, and ran towards the huge "Island" in the middle of the area in front of The Oni Temple.
Killow : What the heck?!
Nina : Killow, I really hope that's your stomach growling.
Killow : Nope.
Lydia and Charlie gave each other dirty looks, and they looked back.
Charlie : It's back.
Kai : What's back, Son?
Charlie : You shut it!
Kai was surprised with what Charlie just said, and he was confused as well.
Kai : Why?
Charlie : Dad, how could you?
Kai : What are you talking about?!
Charlie : The Escape at Kryptarium Prison, Lydia showed me and Liv the footage of what happened that night, the real footage, because it was proven Xavier edited it.
Xavier : How did you-
Princess Lydia : You killed, My Grandfather!
Nya, Maya, Ray, Nina, and Felicia were shocked by what they just heard, not believing even Kai would resort to killing him.
Nya : Kai. . .
Kai : Stop it Okay, that dark heart got what he deserved, and soon the same fate will come to the Princess.
Just then the huge monster came out of the water and onto the rocks, and it started scaring the Sons of Garmadon and The Young Ninja.
Lydia backed away from the Monster near The Amber's Grace and Ultraviolet came up to her.
Ultraviolet : Mistress, we need to get you out of here!
Princess Lydia : Not without the Masks!
Lydia whistled and all the bikers ( Including The Oni's Mercenaries ) came up to the ship, and since The Sons of Garmadon didn't know about Killow or The Oni's Mercenaries betrayal, they blended in the others.
Mr. E, Ultraviolet, Killow, Chopper Maroon, Alex, and Princess Lydia all made it to the ship with the Masks. . .
The Monster tried to back away into the water, but Xavier froze it into place.
Just then they saw The Amber's Grace flying away.
Kai : They're getting away!
Charlie : Get Me Close!
Nya and Xavier used their powers to move the water and make an Ice Trail, but when Charlie used Spinjitzu to reach the ship, so did Alizah and Montgomery.
Nina : They did not just
Kai : They just did.
The three of them landed on the decks and got into fighting stances around Lydia, she gave an evil smile as she nodded, and Killow, Mr. E, and Ultraviolet grabbed them.
Kai : They took Charlie.
Liv : My daughter. . .
Liam : And my Cousin. . .
Next Time on The Masks of Garmadon : The Sons of Garmadon then call Lydia The Stormed Princess, while Charlie, Montgomery, and Alizah are help captive inside the Palace, Lydia then decides to give the truth to her cousin and brother, knowing they may understand the wrath that's going through her, but one thing Charlie doesn't understand, is that Lydia only became The Mistress of Quiet after her parents died, meaning The Borg Tower Heist, and The Royal Palace Attack, she wasn't apart of, so if she didn't pull the strings on those attacks. . . then who did?
Who is Responsible for The Mask thefts? Will Kai face consequences for Garmadon? Will Lydia kill The Young Ninja's Parents?
