The Masks of Garmadon
Side Note : This Chapter will contain The Resurrections, for all of the Ninja, so stay excited when you get to that part.
Side Note : This Chapter has over 13,000 Words.
ItsYoGreenGirl ( Chapter 11 ) : That may be, but Charlie would have to understand the full words and motives of Lydia's Plan, and understand exactly how much pain Kai caused her, but with what you see in the second half of this Chapter, may or may not destroy their chances, Harumi is still alive, that's plain to see, but Lloyd was confirmed dead, and Misako's condition is still unknown... for now. I think Lydia knows by now that she has a long way to go before she can show Charlie while she has her secrets, she's still the same girl, with new Secrets, Without old Memories, she's still got the same heart.
ItsYoGreenGirl ( Chapter 12 ) : There's been several moments where Charlie's touched Lydia and hasn't used her powers, so maybe I didn't mention he couldn't use Creation either, while Destruction he can, since Skylor did absorb and use those powers for a bit, it wouldn't make sense to say he couldn't absorb and use those powers when everybody saw his Mother do it. Lydia felt she had to blame somebody for what happened at The Royal Palace, though once she heard Charlie's Story, it made clear sense it was all Kai's Fault, to both her and Charlie, and Charlie has the same dark mark on Lydia with the Darkness in Charlie's Neck Veins, but the question remains is if Darkness will consume them both, or they will both fight for the light in their hearts.
Chapter 13 : Steep Wisdom and Steeper Resurrections
Last Time on The Masks of Garmadon : Kai's Fire Mech appears, and tries to defeat The Oni's Mercenaries and Capture Lydia, with even Charlie disagreeing with Kai's anger, and fighting back alongside them, with Montgomery using The Mask of Violence to cause a Blood Rain, and Red Lightning Storm, with Charlie getting Lydia to fight, despite her skills not to, and they end up losing until Nya, Maya, and Hazel show up to bring the fight to Kai, with Maya being force to crash Alex's Flying Speeder, before Eric gives Charlie, The Oni's Maps, with Kai even daring to send the sword at his own Son, before Lydia saves Charlie's life, much to his surprise, and Kai wraps the Mech's hand around Lydia's waist, and jumps off the ship with her, with Charlie, Plundar, and Liv saving her, and landing near Steep Wisdom, when Charlie decides to finally talk about his Scar, and why he's scared of Kai, and tells Lydia, while he'll be forced to fight her again, he'll help her find The Mask of Death, and she gives her thanks, just as a mysterious figure with black clothes and white hair runs from the Farm, and leaves something behind, and that something was a picture of Lydia's Family. . .
What Happens Next?
Find Out Now!
February 22nd, 12:26 p.m.
"I don't know what else to think if my Mommy is alive, but one thing's for sure, is that my Aunt Liv will find her if she is, and it's now a never for me to try and get my Daddy back, and nobody will stand in my way... especially Kai."
Plundar, Liv, Charlie, and Lydia are currently walking up the Pathway towards Steep Wisdom, and Lydia just showed the picture to Liv.
Liv : Harumi always carried this picture with her.
Lydia : My Mommy's alive?!
Liv : She may be Lydia, there's no way to say that just yet, but if she is, I'll find her.
Plundar : If you need to Liv, I can stay with the kids, and you can head to Ignacia.
Liv : Why Ignacia?
Charlie : That's where the others are going, Eric had Brenden set a course ahead of time before we got to Shintaro.
Liv : What about Kai?
Charlie : Screw my Dad, his anger has been driving him to harm Lydia, and I know for now, I can't choose a side, so let's say I'm "held captive and being force to look for The Mask of Death" and leave it at that.
Liv giggled at what Charlie said and he smiled and nodded.
Liv : Alright, but after we're done here.
Charlie : Okay.
The Four of them walked through the "Entrance", which was really Charlie's way of putting it and they looked around the Tea Farm.
Charlie : Nothing but the sounds of quiet waterfalls, and birds chirping, yea this is a real place of peace.
Liv : Well Charlie, Garmadon and Wu both have their connections to the Oni and Dragon, making them live way longer than normal lives... and I should know because they are both in their 90's.
Charlie : Really that's it?
Liv : Master Wu saying he felt his "age" was a bit weird, I said he didn't look a year over a hundred, and that was when he was 70.
Charlie : Yea, that must've been offensive.
Liv : The dude had a long white beard, give me a break.
Lydia giggled at hearing her aunt say that, and they kept walking.
Lydia : Aunt Liv.
Liv : Yes, Lydia?
Lydia : What about my Grammy?
Liv : She's seventy-two, believe it or not.
Charlie : How?
Liv : Made a mistake almost three months ago, where Alex was at the Royal Palace, it was an incident where she reversed the affects of Tomorrow's Tea, so instead of accelerating the aging, it reversed it.
Charlie : How old was she before?
Liv : Ninety-two.
Plundar : That tea reversed her aging by twenty years?
Liv : Yes.
Lydia : Good for me, I love Grammy.
Liv : Yea, that's the exact same thing you said that day, if the old lady she loves sticks around, it's no argument, note to self, do not go to Mystake's if you have The Formlings' Princess visiting.
Charlie : Noted.
The four of them reached the door of the Main Building and Lydia knocked.
Just then, an Old Man opened the door and was left in shock.
Master Wu : Lydia.
Lydia : Hi, Uncle Wu.
Liv : Hey Wu.
Master Wu : Liv, Charlie... Plundar?
Plundar : Why is everybody surprised to see me?
Master Wu : What are you doing here.
Liv : Making a Quick Stop, before we head out to search for an Important Artifact, do you mind?
Master Wu : Of course not, come in.
Wu moved out of the way and let the four of them in and shut the door.
Master Wu : You said an Important Artifact, what is it?
Lydia : The Oni Mask of Death, one of the Masks we need to resurrect my Daddy.
Master Wu : What?!
Liv : Wu, he's not lying, Lloyd's Dead.
Master Wu : When, How?!
Lydia : The Sons of Garmadon attacked The Royal Palace to steal The Mask of Deception from Lloyd, and he got killed in the Process.
Master Wu : What about the Others?!
Lydia : Montgomery's with Brenden, Grammy's Presumed Dead, Hutchins is alive with the Young Ninja, and my Mommy I swear I just saw a few minutes ago spying on us.
Master Wu : Lydia, what's with the weird getup?
Liv : Lydia's joined The Sons of Garmadon, mainly since Killow promised to let her use the Oni Masks to bring back Lloyd, and then Richard, Siddie, Eric, and Alex formed a group called The Oni's Mercenaries, and joined the Sons of Garmadon as well to resurrect Cole, Jay, Queen Akita, and Morro.
Master Wu : Three of my pupils are dead too?!
Liv : Yes, and it's soon gonna be five if we don't get that Mask.
Lydia : Oh great, make that Masks.
Liv : What?
Lydia : Alex just sent me a text, saying that Kai used his powers to "Destroy" The Mask of Brutality, and it turned into ashes, that means it was a fake.
Plundar : Crud.
Lydia : Another Text... Lydia, whatever you do, find the Mask of Brutality, and get it back to Me, I need my Mommy back.
Lydia : She's not the only one.
Master Wu : I won't keep you here then, if there's anything you need, help yourselves.
Lydia : Are you not gonna come with us?
Master Wu : Lydia, I will say that using The Oni Masks to bring Lloyd and the others back may be a bad idea, but it may be a good one at the same time, it matters on what you think of it, and I don't think I should be a part of something like this.
Charlie : Yea, it may drive my Dad even more into Madness, considering he's the one who gave me this.
Charlie moved the cloth of his face mask down, and Wu saw a huge scar on his neck.
Master Wu : Kai did that?
Liv : Yes, and after Plundar and the kids get their "Essentials", I'm heading to Ignacia to speak with Kai.
Master Wu : I'll come with you, because this is something I need to have a talk with him about.
Charlie : Okay, let's just get our things then.
Lydia, Plundar, and Charlie then went around the building they were in and were grabbing stuff.
Mainly just food and water if they weren't heading back until they found the Masks.
Just then Lydia opened the door for a split second.
Lydia : Aunt Liv.
Liv : Yes?
Lydia : Kai is here.
Liv and Charlie : What?!
They looked out the windows and saw Kai in the Fire Mech.
Liv : Okay, we're gonna have to split up.
Lydia : What?!
Liv : Charlie, take Lydia and get head to the life side of the fields by going through the tunnel behind the waterfall.
Just then Liv looked out the window again and saw they had help coming in quietly.
Liv : It's Eric, Alex, and Richard.
Charlie : So now what?
Liv : Plundar and Alex will stick with Me, and Richard and Eric will deal with them from the right side.
Master Wu : Go out the back, now.
Charlie grabbed Lydia's hand and they ran out the back towards the tunnel behind the waterfall.
Liv, walked outside with Plundar, and she signaled for Alex to come up to them, with Eric and Richard backing up a good distance.
Just then The Fire Mech landed, and so did Via since she was using her animal form.
Kai : Huh, coming to a Place of Peace, before searching for something opposite of that, weird right.
Via : Very weird.
Liv : Hear me out Kai, the Sons of Garmadon, as well as yourself, are behind all of this.
Just then a deer jumped over a huge rock on Liv's right, and they used showed their human form.
Prince Zach : Liv Garmadon.
Liv : Your Highness.
Kai : I convinced the stubborn officer, and he gave me two days to bring you and the kids in, that was yesterday, can you help out your Brother-In-Arms?
Liv : You're after the wrong kid.
Kai : Your judgement is nothing but askew Liv, your little niece, as well your daughter and son have harmed several people in the past few months.
Liv : That, and there are four other in Ninjago just like them, why come after My family huh?
Kai : What do you Mean by that?
Liv : Myself, My Father, perhaps at times, The First Spinjitzu Master... and you.
Kai : What?
Liv : Your Madness at Kryptarium gave Charlie that scar on his neck, and your Madness hasn't stopped one bit, you say you care about your Son, well at this rate you'll kill him before you realize you didn't have any care in your heart left.
Kai : How did you know that?
Liv : He told me... he told me everything, that night the Sons of Garmadon raided the Prison again, just over a week ago, you used that as an Opportunity to kill my Father, and you said you wouldn't if he told you Skylor's Location, he obviously didn't know, but you made it clear you would kill him regardless.
Princess Alex : We can't let you get your hands on Lydia first, Kai, we can't.
Person : Alex.
Alex turned and saw Clayton holding his hammer.
Clayton : Little sis, you know what's about to happen, do you really want to use your fangs to bite your way out of this one?
Kai : Okay I'm losing patience here, Ice!
Just then, Xavier appeared and grabbed Liv's daggers, and landed next to Kai.
Kai : Nice one, Xavier.
Xavier : Thank you.
Liv : You've been busy.
Kai : And You've been a total idiot... dragging my son into this mess, "Rescuing" Vania and Plundar from a place they wouldn't even want to leave, a safe place, bringing my Mother and Sister onto your side, just because Eric was in on this too.
Plundar : There's nothing safe about Shintaro, when all of Ninjago could be at risk with your Flaming Madness, Kai.
Liv : That, Eric and Alex made this choice, Not Me.
Kai : Okay, I'm trying to keep... I'm trying to keep you from turning the Young Ninja apart.
Liv : Starting this whole, entire, mess, and driving the kids apart... You did at Kryptarium.
Pixal : You know the Logical choices here Liv, and this isn't one of them.
Liv : As if any logical choice that comes from your lips would be any better, Pix... and Kai, your only way to stop this without punching, is to apologize to Lydia for getting her Family killed.
Kai : I had nothing to do with the death of her own stupid "Death", with what happened at that Temple, she should say sorry to Me.
Liv : Alright, I'm done reasoning with you.
Kai : You're gonna turn Lydia over, and come with Me now, because it is ME, Me and the rest of kids who have no ways to be polite without hitting someone.
Liv : Only if you drove them as Mad as you.
Eric : Liv, I got it... The Formlings' Princess is at the very far end of the left field, past the waterfall.
Liv raised her hands, and a dagger went flying through the air and broke the Ice.
Liv : Alright, Lucas.
Suddenly a Red Panda appeared and kicked Xavier to knock him down, and he grabbed Liv's Daggers.
Lucas : Believe this are yours, Liv.
Kai : Oh great, okay there's two down on the right field, and one of them's Eric, I'm grabbing him... Pixal you wanna take Liv.
Pixal : There's two in the tunnel, Charlie and Lydia!
Prince Zach : Our cousin is Mine!
Alex then tackled her brother and used her animal form to fight back, and he did the same.
Charlie and Lydia just jumped from the tunnel and landed in the field, and then began running towards The Formlings' Princess.
Kai : Don't let them reach the Ship!
Via used her animal form and then flew towards the ship to stall her cousin.
On the Right Field. . .
Eric and Richard were running through the field towards the ship when Kai landed in front of them.
Kai : Richard, the Son of Morro.
Richard : You tried to lock me in that Vault.
Kai : First, Exaggeration, Second, You would have been better protected in there... Hey Eric.
Eric : Hey Uncle Kai.
Kai : Seems like Skipping stones across the water ain't good enough for you.
Eric : Skipped Eighteen, Got One with Eighteen, I can't seem to miss.
Eric used his powers and Kai dodged the blast.
Kai : First Timer.
Eric : I made you look.
Richard then controlled the wind to pull the windmill's blades apart and throw them at Kai, with the last one hitting him, and burying him beneath the blades.
Eric and Richard high-fived and ran off.
Kai : Okay, that was Smart.
Left Side.
Via was using her animal form and chasing Charlie and Lydia and just then Charlie threw a huge rock at her.
Via : Hey Charlie, I think you lost this!
Via threw the rock back at Charlie and it broke the tree he was hiding behind.
She then chased Lydia and used Molten Metal to get her hands stuck on the rocks.
Via : Is that Yellow Tea you have?
Lydia : Is this Metal coming out of you?
Via : That would explain a bit on your love for Yellow and Gold, which I gotta say is pretty awesome.
Lydia : Via, I don't know if you've ever been in a fight before, but there's usually not this much talking.
Via : Right, My bad.
Via used her animal form, but Charlie used his Mace and hit her onto a huge pile of Rocks, and she used her powers to melt Charlie's Mace.
Via : Look you two, I would like to keep this up, but if I want to get my Mother back then I gotta impress Kai, so I'm sorry.
Charlie then used Richard's powers just as Via tried using her form, and it sent her flying away.
Lydia : You couldn't have done that sooner.
Charlie : I hate you.
In the Middle. . .
Zach pulled out his Axe and pressed a button on it and it became electrified.
Prince Zach : Sorry Liv, this won't kill you, but it won't be painless either.
Zach charged and Liv used her powers to punch Zach's Axe, and it broke and sent him back.
Prince Zach : Great.
Alizah : Heads up, Mommy!
Liv : Alizah?!
Alizah handed Liv a big jar of what looked like Gunpowder.
Alizah : I had Mystake make Explosive Tea, now throw it at my Powers... Now!
Alizah fired a bright Magenta colored ball which expanded once the Jar hit it, making it bigger, and the Powder inside started glowing.
Prince Zach : Oh, Come On!
Zach, Clayton, and Pixal dove out of the way, just as the explosion hit.
Alizah : Oh my gosh, I thought it would have created a blastwave.
Liv looked at her daughter in Shock and Confusion.
Alizah : Sorry.
In the Field.
Prince Zach : Okay, Now I'm annoyed.
Clayton : Is this part of the plan, Kai?
Kai : Well my plan was to go easy, want to change the rules.
Pixal : I'm going with yes.
In the Left Field. . .
Liv, Charlie, Lydia, Alizah, Richard, Plundar, Eric, and Alex were running through the field to reach The Formlings' Princess.
Alizah : There's our ride!
Liv : Let's Go!
Just then a huge line was created in the Middle of the field, the others looked up and saw it was Ray in the Fire-Mech.
Ray : Liv, I know you think this is right, but for all of Ninjago, you need to surrender Princess Lydia, Now.
Ray got out of the Mech, and stood beside the others as they blocked their way to the ship.
Alizah : Well, Mommy?
Liv : We Fight.
They began walking towards Kai's Team and he and the others started walking as well.
Via : This is going well.
Xavier : They aren't stopping.
Kai : Neither are We!
Everybody charged and began attacking each other.
Liv and Lydia were taking Kai and Via.
Plundar was taking Pixal
Richard was taking Ray
Charlie was taking Zach
Alex was taking Clayton
Alizah and Eric were taking Xavier.
Clayton then pinned Alex down with his hammer. . .
Princess Alex : We're still Brother and Sister right?
Clayton : Well that depends on how hard you hit Me.
Clayton then grabbed his hammer and tried to get up to hit Alex, but she shoved him back, and as Clayton was about to swing, Richard used his powers and threw Clayton into a rock.
Alex then looked at him confused.
Richard : You were pulling your punches, Princess.
Princess Alex : Okay, then.
Alex nodded and they ran off.
Via was dealing with Liv, and she tried to fight her.
Via : Man, those Daggers do not obey the laws of physics one bit when you throw them.
Liv : Look Phoenix, there's a whole lot going on that you don't understand here.
Via : Kai said you'd say that.
Liv then used her powers and threw Via back so she couldn't melt her daggers.
Liv : Did Kai tell you anything else?
Via : He said you can be wrong, and you think you're right, much like your Twin Brother, it makes you both dangerous.
Liv : Well, I guess he had a point.
Liv used her Destructive powers to break a huge rock and throw it at Via, with her struggling to hold it.
Liv : You have a heart Via, where'd you grow up?
Via : The Great Forest...
Liv : The Underworld.
Liv ran off and Via tried to get free.
400 feet from the Ship. . .
Lydia : Charlie we gotta go, The other Masks aren't as strong with Oni Magic as the other three, it gets to two weeks it'll be too late to save my Daddy.
Charlie : We gotta draw flanks here, I'll take my Dad you get to the Ship.
Eric : No, you get to the Ship, both of you!
Princess Alex : The rest of us aren't going to get out of here.
Liv : Except Me, I'm keeping my Promise.
Richard : This isn't the real fight Charlie!
Charlie : Okay, what's the Plan?
Richard : We need a diversion, something big.
Alizah : I have something big, but I don't know if it'll work.
Liv : Alizah, not this again.
Alizah : Mommy, I've got better control over my powers, trust Me.
Lydia : What's going on here?
Liv : Alizah's gonna fire a Supernova at the Mech to blow the whole field up, it won't kill anybody, but you'll be unconscious for, I don't know, eight hours.
Charlie : Good plan Alizah, make it happen... Liv, we gotta leave and get The Masks of Death and Brutality.
Liv : Alizah, don't leave Me again.
Alizah : I won't Mommy, I'm coming with you, we get to the ship now and I can fire.
Charlie : Let's Go then.
The Four of them went running for the Ship while Alizah fired up her powers as she ran to try and make sure the blast was big enough.
Kai : HEY!
Kai saw them running and gave chase, and Via flew and stopped directly in front of the Ship.
She shook her head and sighed and tears formed in her eyes.
Via : Charlie... you're not gonna stop.
Charlie : Via, you know I can't.
Via : I'm gonna regret this!
Via fired her bow at Kai to throw him back, and knock him down.
Via : Go, Now!
Liv : Thank you.
The four of them ran, as Via fired her bow at Kai again.
Alizah's hands were starting to burn and she got a clear shot at the Mech which flew up on it's own thanks to Richard.
Richard : Now, Alizah!
Alizah fired at the Mech, and it cause the explosion, and knocked everybody out, except Via and Kai, who watched them get away.
Kai : Via?!
Via : I said I would fight them, Not catch them... there's a difference Kai.
Kai : You're just like you're sister.
Via shook her head and smiled at seeing the ship fly away. . .
20 Minutes Later. . .
Lydia : Charlie, you got the Maps?
Charlie : Yea.
Liv : Where are they?!
Charlie : The Mask of Brutality is in the Ice Fortress in The Frozen Wasteland.
Alizah : Wasn't that were Wu hid The Shurikens of Ice?
Liv : Yea, Mask of Death?
Charlie : The Spirit Coves.
Lydia : I was there once before, my Daddy took me there where he showed me the last time he saw The Ultra Dragon.
Liv : Okay, since only Lydia knows where The Spirit Coves are, we go there last, for now Mask of Brutality.
Charlie : Alright, let's do this.
Charlie still has his Mind on when Lydia fell, and she said she needed him, and then he said he hated her. . .
Lydia felt the same thing, did Charlie really mean that, or was it just because of her joke?
For Now, neither of them would know. . .
2 Hours Later, The Frozen Wasteland. . .
The Formlings' Princess was going down the Rivers towards The Ice Fortress. . .
Lydia was standing on the deck and Charlie saw her shivering.
Charlie : Liddy?
Lydia : I-I-I-I'm, S-s-so, C-c-c-c-c-Cold.
Charlie wrapped an arm around Lydia and used his fire powers to make her warm.
Lydia : Thank you.
Charlie : Of course.
Lydia : Charlie. . .
Lydia was holding a Glass bottle, and Charlie used his powers to heat The Yellow Tea inside.
Charlie : There.
Lydia : Thank you.
Lydia drank the Yellow Tea, not only liking the Color, but the Flavor.
Lydia : Try it.
Charlie grabbed the bottle and drank it, and it was actually pretty good.
Charlie : Not bad.
Lydia put the cork back on the bottle, and the ship docked.
Lydia : The Frozen Fortress.
Alizah : That's where the Mask is.
Liv : Let's go get it. . .
Ignacia Village. . .
Kai and the Formlings, along with Pixal and Xavier, caught The Oni's Mercenaries and brought them back to Ignacia in chains.
Eric : Uncle Kai, I really hope you're happy with this.
Kai : I am Eric, and I'll be even more happy, when you tell me where the the Princess is.
Eric : We already told you, that's not happening, your Madness is driving you to attempt to kill her, and she's the only one who can bring our parents back.
Kai : Really, because last time I checked, the only one who could perform that ritual is Harumi, and-
Plundar : Lydia found reason to believe she's alive.
Kai : WHAT?!
Nya : Kai, Enough!
Kai looked to his sister in anger, and Montgomery was standing near them and he grabbed his metal bat.
Kai : What?
Nya : Everybody is right Kai, your Madness towards Lydia is out of control.
Kai : And so is her desperate acts to try and bring Lloyd back, it needs to end... and the only way to that is to end her.
Just then, Kai was drop kicked, and he got to his knees before he saw The Son of Lloyd.
Montgomery : Harm my little sister, and I will end you!
Montgomery swung his bat and knocked Kai clean out.
Richard : So, now what?
Nya : We let you kids go.
Nya and Maya grabbed the lock picks from Plundar and let them out of the chains.
Eric : Thanks, Mom.
Nya : Of course Sweetie, you guys can leave, but no more Oni Mask nonsense until that "Ceremony" comes, because I don't want Kai getting in the way again.
Eric : We understand.
Montgomery : But if my Mother is alive we need to find her.
Liam : We will, Cus.
Nya : What about Kai?
Richard : Leave him here, he's not of any use to us now.
Everybody the walks away to leave Ignacia and Kai wakes up.
Kai : I really hope you're ready Lydia, because The Mask of Death... Is Mine!
Kai used his Elemental Dragon and flew away, since he knew where The Mask of Death was.
Meanwhile. . .
Alizah, Liv, Charlie, and Lydia just entered The Ice Fortress and saw the spot where The Shurikens of Ice once were, was now The Mask of Brutality.
Charlie : Let's grab it and get out of here.
Liv stabbed her daggers into the Ice and climbed up to grab the Mask, and she came down with it.
Liv : All that's left now is The Mask of Death.
Just then a weird red power was emitting from the book.
Charlie : What the?
Lydia : It does that when somebody's near the Mask.
Charlie opened the Manuscript and it showed The Mask of Death's Locations, in the top right it said Spirit Coves, which is where the Mask was, but somebody's name was approaching the Mask.
Charlie : My Dad...
Alizah : How the heck did he find it?!
Liv : We gotta get over there now, let's go!
Charlie : Liv, take the book.
Liv : Alright.
Liv grabbed the book and was about to close it when another name appeared moving closer to Kai...
.
.
.
It was Empress Harumi. . .
Liv : What?!
Lydia : Aunt Liv, come on!
Liv : Coming!
Liv closed the book and the four of them hurried to The Formlings' Princess to reach The Spirit Coves.
10 Minutes Later, at The Spirit Coves. . .
Kai was walking up the huge rocky hillside because a saw a Pedestal with a Gray and Black light, which was The Mask of Death.
Kai : It's either that Mask... or Nothing.
Kai didn't notice a mysterious figure following him, as he walked up the hill.
The "Mysterious Figure" had long white hair in straight bangs, red face paint, pale pink lipstick, and black clothing, with sashes with tiny spikes, and a purple ash with more spikes going over her shoulder. . .
Because it wasn't a Mysterious Figure.
.
.
.
It was The Quiet One. . .
Kai : Charlie and Lydia have become a disappointment, trying to resurrect Lloyd as an evil being, with Charlie defending a girl doing nothing right, it's all going to end, whether they like it or not. . .
Kai approached the Pedestal and actually grabbed the Mask with ease, because the light disappeared as soon as he reached the top of the hill.
Person : My Daughter is not a disappointment, you better be sure, that your Son isn't either, because after My work is done here, everything will be returned to the way... it's supposed to be.
Kai knew that voice and he turned around.
Kai : No!
The person grabbed the Mask, and used it to knock Kai out.
Person : All that's left now... Is Lloyd.
The person got out their phone, and made a call.
Person : Killow.
Killow : You got it?
Person : Get word to The Oni's Mercenaries, we have all ten Masks, and it's time to bring Lloyd back, and grab Kai while your at it when you come to get Me, it's time to have a little fun with my little daughter's Insurance Policy.
Killow : I understand, I'll get word to them, Killow out.
2 Hours Later. . .
The Formlings' Princess was at The Spirit Coves, and Alizah, Liv, Charlie, and Lydia were walking up the same hillside as Kai.
Charlie : I don't get it, how can the Mask not be here?
Liv : I don't know.
Lydia : I need that Mask, if we're gonna bring Cole back, along with the others.
They made it to the top of the hill where the Pedestal was, but the Mask was gone.
Charlie : Liv.
Liv : Hold on a second.
Liv pulled out the Maps, and she opened it to the Mask of Death's Location.
Alizah : The Palace?
They looked in shock, as the Map showed that Eight of the Oni Masks were at the Oni Palace ( Charlie had The Mask of Brutality, and Montgomery had The Mask of Violence ).
Liv : I don't know how the Mask got there, but we need to get back and do this now.
Charlie : I said I would help you guys until we got the Mask, well you already have it, you don't need me.
Charlie started walking away, and was about to run and use his dragon but Alizah fired up her fires, and hit the back of Charlie's neck, which knocked him out.
Liv : Let's Go.
Liv then got a message on her phone and it said "Listen Quietly. . .", and she knew to listen on their way back.
Lydia : Aunt Liv, how long will it take for us to get back.
Liv : Probably not until Noon tomorrow Lydia. The Spirit Coves are far out.
Lydia : One more day... and I get my Daddy back.
Liv : Yep.
Liv was carrying Charlie in her arms with him knocked out, and the three of them went back to The Formlings' Princess and but Charlie in the cell, and began flying back to Ninjago. . .
3 Minutes Later. . .
Liv locked herself in the Sleeping Quarters, and decided to play the message on her phone, and the voice was too familiar.
Quiet One : Tempest... We were good alongside each other in The Sons of Garmadon right, well those days are gone now, and it's about The Oni's Mercenaries, now that all Masks are in our possession, you know all that's left is to bring back Lloyd by any means necessary, and I already have Kai, do by your word, and bring Charlie, and we'll be all set, I know my daughter doesn't know about me yet, but I can't let her find out... not now, after The Emperor of Ninjago is brought back to the realm he belongs in, then i'll show myself but until then... well... Just watch over my Princess for me, Liv.
Liv : I won't let you down again, Harumi.
4 Hours Later. . .
Kai was in a cell in some sort of dark room, he was guessing he was beneath The Royal Palace, but he wasn't sure.
He then saw Chopper Maroon and Mohawk enter the room. . .
Chopper Maroon : If it isn't the Father of Charlie and Felicia.
Kai : Where am I?!
Mohawk : Beneath The Royal Palace of Secrets.
Chopper Maroon : It's almost time for Emperor Lloyd's Resurrection, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Kai : There's always something I can do about it.
Person : No Kai, there isn't.
Kai saw a girl with long white hair, red face paint, and Sons of Garmadon clothes, and when she put her head up to reveal the red face paint over her eyes, Kai wasn't happy.
Kai : Harumi. . .
Harumi : Surprised it took you this long to find out, Nothing is going to stop Me.
Kai : My Son will.
Harumi : No Kai, he won't, I made sure to have Liv and Alizah keep Charlie from escaping.
Kai : What about Lydia?
Harumi : Lydia's spoken nothing but truth to a Man like you, you're responsible for the suffering that's been caused for her, and all she's doing this for is to get Lloyd back, and then she is done, and so am I, but you however, I feel you should belong in Kryptarium when this is done with... you did nothing but try to kill Garmadon thinking he was responsible for Skylor going missing, and you ended up gravely injuring your son.
Kai : I wasn't thinking straight that night.
Harumi : Clearly, and Garmadon's Powers, and your Madness have drinking darkness into the blood in Charlie's Neck Veins, so you need to stop trying to get on his bad side, or there will be uncontrollable darkness inside of him, that nobody would dare would question.
Kai : How on earth would I stop that.
Harumi : You don't, Skylor and Chen are the two Charlie wants, and they'll show themselves in time, but if you keep getting in the way, then Charlie and Lydia won't have anything but darkness in them.
Kai : Your old face, without the Mask of Hatred, or the Empress, I can see why until now you covered it.
Harumi : Bite your tongue, Master of Fire! Your fight is over.
Harumi left the roof and left Kai in his cell.
February 23rd, 2:00 p.m.
"Today's the day, I'm finally gonna get my Daddy back, I don't even know what to think, my chances with Charlie may be gone by now, especially since I had him knocked out, but his role in my plan will work out nicely, and being stuck in this palace all my life, gave me the time to make a few... alterations... to Myself, and the Palace, and it's time for me to finally bring back... Lloyd Garmadon."
.
.
.
.
.
.
Lydia was wearing her Sons of Garmadon clothes again, and so were her brother, and cousins, and Liv was wearing her gi, and looking at Lydia, as she looked at the view of Ninjago City.
Montgomery was already in the mood, since he was wearing his dark brown pants, black leather jacket with a dark green dragon on the back of it, and black shoes
Alizah was wearing her Dark Purple raincoat with Magenta painted sleeves, and the raincoat was actually put on the same way like a sweater, rather than being buttoned or zipped like a normal coat, and she had her face mask wrapped around her neck so she could use it if she had too and replaced the rain hood of her raincoat with her ninja hood, and was wearing black pants, and Magenta colored shoes.
Liam was wearing his Purple shirt, black leather jacket, black pants, bright purple shoes, and black gloves.
Lydia : This is it.
Liv : Yep.
Lydia : I don't know how The Mask of Death got here, but... I don't care anymore, all we need to do is bring back my Daddy.
Liam : What about our grandfather?
Lydia : Forget him, he's not the reason I'm doing this, and I don't care if there's a chance the ritual will bring him back too, my Daddy is all I want.
Alizah : It's now or never.
Queen Vania : I will say Lydia, for now Morgan and I need to return to Shintaro, and sorry, if you think I don't trust you.
Lydia nodded and she walked over and shook Vania's hand.
Lydia : It's okay, I've learned by now from Charlie and Montgomery that trust can easily be abused, I'm just glad I earned yours.
Queen Vania : If you need my help, say so and we'll come.
Lydia : I'll make sure to tell Cole of your actions, and thank you for The Mask of Greed.
Queen Vania : Of course.
Prince Morgan : Farewell, Princess Lydia.
Morgan bowed to Lydia and left the Palace with Vania.
Montgomery : Well Lydia, Charlie's waking up in his cell, Mohawk and Chopper Maroon are ready to start moving him.
Lydia : Good, get Killow down there also.
Lydia then walked down and prepared to help Killow move Charlie to the Temple of Resurrection.
12 Minutes Later. . .
Chopper Maroon and Marco were waiting near the room beneath the Palace where Charlie's cell was, and Killow was waiting for Lydia.
Killow : The Stormed Princess is here, about time.
Lydia : Don't mistake our intentions here Killow, we get my Daddy back, and those bikers are out of here.
Chopper Maroon : Yea, if that'll work, we've changed our ways that's plain to see, but the rest, aren't going to go down lightly.
Marco : I don't want them too, we bring them down, and we do it hard.
Lydia : I like how he thinks... you two grab Charlie and begin walking him up, Killow stay behind him.
Killow : On it.
Chopper and Marco grab Charlie and begin walking him away from the Cells, and towards the stairway to the "Surface" which is how he would put it.
Charlie kept quiet as Killow stayed behind him, and Chopper Maroon and Marco held both of his arms and made him walk up the stairs, and Charlie wasn't sure what was more annoying about Lydia, much like Alizah, he couldn't absorb her Creative powers, or Lydia's voice.
Lydia : 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 then kept humming but it started getting on Charlie's nerves, but what he said got on Lydia's.
Charlie : So this is who you are, without The Mask of Agitation, it's no wonder you covered it.
Lydia : Bite your tongue Amber Ninja! The fight is all but over.
Charlie : Where are you taking Me?!
Lydia responded as she raised her arms and let Charlie look at her and her Green eyes.
Lydia still had her hair the same way it was with her Princess and Civilian outfits, only she wasn't wearing the headpiece, Lydia had a black bow in her ponytail, and with the gold washed out, she dyed the same few strands of her hair Forest Green and Black. Lydia also had Dark Forest Green Paint over her eyes and similar to how Morro possessed Lloyd, Lydia used black paint to make those markings around her eyes over the green paint, and had her lips full painted with Forest Green Lipstick, Lydia was wearing Forest Green Leather Boots that had Black Straps around her foot and her ankle and the boots went to about four inches above her knees, and was wearing thin-tight black leather pants, that actually instead of going up to her hips, they went up to her waist.
Lydia was also wearing a black shirt with a Dark Gold Skull on it with small paint blobs of Purple and White around it, Lydia was also wearing a black armored skirt, for more protection, along with a Black Spiked Leather Jacket with it unzipped, and Forest Green Biker Gloves and instead of just around her pants and the skirt, Lydia was wearing two spiky belts, with them both on top and wrapped around her jacket and her waist, keeping that part of the jacket like it was zipped, with the top half of the jacket unzipped, leaving Lydia's shirt visible.
Lydia also had a Dark Green sash going over her right shoulder, and it was attached to the holster of her left hip that had her Silver Dagger, and the sash had spikes on it, and Lydia had a Black Chronosteel Chain going over both her Left and Right shoulders, with the middle of it on her chest having a picture of her face in the design of the Sons of Garmadon insignia.
Which were the same exact clothes she had the day she brought Montgomery, Charlie, and Alizah to the Palace,
Lydia : Being inside the Palace of Secrets all of my life, it gave me and Killow the time to make a few alterations... you could say.
Killow : Yes, I did help destroy the Palace, but I was very careful not to damage The Temple of Resurrection.
Lydia walked them up into the Temple, and Charlie saw he was standing outside now, in the Temple of Resurrection.
As he was looking around, Ultraviolet came up the stairs.
The Sons of Garmadon claimed to be Resurrecting Garmadon, and turning The Emperor of Ninjago evil, but Lydia planned for them to do that, but it was to suit her own needs, rather than the Bikers.
Ultraviolet : The Young Ninja have survived, Stormed Princess, they are in the City.
Lydia got an annoyed evil look on her face at hearing that, and Charlie continued to look around seeing Cages, and the bikers working on repairing a few parts of the Temple.
Just then, Liv, Montgomery, Liam, and Alizah came up the stairs, and started helping the others.
Charlie : What was that you said about the Fight being Over?
Lydia got Mad at Charlie for that, and decided to tell him why he was here.
Lydia : Let Them Come!, If anybody tries to Stop Me, I always have, my own Insurance Policy.
Lydia smiled Mischievously and was rubbing her knuckles, which was actually making Charlie a bit nervous, until he saw two guys being thrown into one of the Cages.
Charlie : Dad, Grandfather!
Master Chen : Charlie!
Mohawk locked the cage and he raised it.
Master Chen : Charlie, she's crazy, she wants to turn your Mother!
Lydia laughed at hearing Chen speak, and walked over to him.
Lydia : You silly fake snake... This has Nothing, to do with Skylor!
Charlie tried to resist, but Chopper Maroon and Marco had a good grip on Charlie.
Lydia : I've been looking forward to this... Family Reunion.
Charlie : Let them Go, this is between us!
Lydia : Oh no Charlie... There was Never anything, Between us!
Charlie let that sink in, and looked down in sadness.
Lydia : It hurts doesn't it, There's nothing more powerful than a blow to the heart, and I know that well!
Liv : A good friend found Kai after he tracked down The Mask of Death, helpful of him... and Eric, he actually hid the Manuscript well, Chen was the one who returned it to him, helpful Men.
Lydia : Prepare the Ceremony, we begin at Nightfall!
Charlie : I won't let you get away with this!
Killow : Or what Charlie, you'll cry?
Chopper Maroon and Marco took the chains off and threw Charlie into the cage on the opposite side of Chen and Kai, and they locked it.
Outside The Palace, 7:30 p.m.
Felicia was standing there, with the Police a good distance back away from The Sons of Garmadon. . .
Felicia : Xavier, are you guys close to the Palace?
Xavier : We are in Place, it's now a never for us to move on this.
Hazel : Operation Undercover initiated.
Felicia : Copy that.
Temple of Resurrection, 7:38 p.m.
.
.
.
It was already dark out ( Considering it was still Winter ) and The Sons of Garmadon generals, along with The Oni's Mercenaries "Tracked Down" their Parents, and the rest of the Young Ninja, and were getting ready to bring Cole, Morro and Jay back first.
Ultraviolet : I don't see the point in this Storming Princess, why are we bringing back The Ninja first?
Lydia : Because they are the ones who mean the most to the Young Ninja, and are what's striving them to Stop Me, bring them back, it'll lower their Offense, and their Guard.
Ultraviolet : Smart thinking.
Lydia : Thank you.
Lydia and Ultraviolet walked up the steps, but they saw Nya fighting the Bikers.
Lydia : We can't risk this, we'll use the Masks of Fear and Ferocity on her as well, kill Nya.
Ultraviolet grabbed The Oni Mask of Death, and used it on herself,
Kai : Nya, come on!
Nya well knew what Lydia's plan was, and in order for it to work, she had to die too, even if it was the Craziest Plan in all of Ninjago.
Nya : Stupid, violet biker!
Ultraviolet threw her Sai, and it went through Nya's Chest and hit her heart.
Ultraviolet quickly ran over, and pulled a hair off of Nya's head.
Nya looked up and she turned into a Gray/White Soul, and flew away.
It was hard for Eric to watch that, since he was standing there the whole time.
Kai : NO!
Lydia : I told you what would happen if anybody tried to Stop Me. . .
Kai : You're a Monster!
Eric : No, Uncle Kai, she's not, The Masks of Fear and Ferocity can bring her back as well, which is why she told you to stay out of the way.
Everybody else was near the cages, and they watched the whole thing.
Maya, Ray, Nina, Opal, Zane, Clayton, Zach, Via, and Lucas were all standing there, as Nya walked over and smiled Mischievously with her hands behind her back.
Lydia : This will be a fun night, I can just tell... and tracking a few of you down, even more fun.
Opal : Oh shut it Princess, this is a living nightmare.
Lydia : For you, but for Me, it's a dream.
Zane : I find that Illogical, if you are right now in the Temple of Resurrection taking care of a villainous plan-
Lydia : Shut It!
Lydia smiled Mischievously and had them move Charlie's cage down.
Charlie : What do you think you're doing?
Lydia : In order for these Rituals to succeed, I need more than just the Oni Masks, I say we start with Nya.
Kai : That's the only bright thing you've said.
Nina : Why are you bringing our parents back anyway?
Lydia : I'm a Stormed Princess, not a Monster, I may be an enemy of yours for the Meantime, but that doesn't stop me from showing Mercy, or doing what's right.
Lydia : First, it's the Daughter.
Lydia plucked a black hair from Nina's head and she winced.
Nina : Ow.
Lydia : The Parents.
Lydia had Chopper Maroon and Marco pull a black hair from Maya and Ray's heads, and Ray gave dirty looks, while Maya simply just winced and then nodded at Lydia.
Marco then lowered the Cage, and Lydia walked over...
Lydia : The Brother!
Lydia pulled very hard on one of the hairs on Kai's head.
Kai : You. . .
Lydia : I already collected a hair from the Son. . .
Lydia looked and smiled at Eric, and he nodded, he wasn't smiling or frowning, he was just trying to keep a straight face.
Nina : Brother, I can't believe you're okay with this!
Eric : Who said I was?!
Eric walked over to Maya, Ray, and Nina and looked at his twin sister.
Eric : Who said it... Tell Me!
Nina shook her head at Eric and he nodded and walked away.
Lydia : There is no Speech, no Words needed, for the Oni Masks to bring somebody back, without their connection to the Oni, the hairs will also work out for Jay. as well, so get started on them... then it'll be time for Cole and Morro.
Ultraviolet : Stormed Princess, "Mortar" requested Opal in another part of the Palace.
Lydia : Very well, but make it quick, Nya and Jay won't take Long.
Marco grabbed Opal and walked her away from the others, she wasn't chained, because she didn't have any powers, or any real way to fight that many bikers off, so she knew not to try.
4 Minutes Later. . .
Opal was walked into the "War Room" of the Palace Ruins, and she saw a little girl with black pigtails.
Opal : Siddie?
Siddie turned around and removed her face mask, as she ran and jumped into her mother's arms.
While shocked, Opal tightly hugged her daughter, and let tears leave her eyes, and Siddie did the same, letting tears soak her mother's shoulder.
Siddie : I missed you so much.
Opal : I missed you too, Siddie.
Siddie : You were gone for so long, where did you go?
Opal : I was off the grid from the Sons of Garmadon, I didn't want to risk getting caught, especially after what happened to Cole, I didn't want to be caught with you, losing you in the process.
Siddie : I'm okay, Mommy, I'm with them.
Opal : What?
Siddie : Lydia's going to bring back Daddy, isn't that what you wanted?
Opal : Yes... But I don't know if this is the best way to do it.
Siddie : There's nothing left to do now... except wait.
Opal : You're really with the Sons of Garmadon?
Siddie : No, and neither is Lydia, but that'll be revealed in time, Nya's Death, Kai and Charlie's Capture, her Wrath and Hatred towards them... that's all part of her own plan.
Opal : What is her Plan?
Siddie : To bring down, The Sons of Garmadon... I think by now, Nya and Jay are back.
Opal : You sure?
Person : Bring it on you biking doofs!
Siddie : Yea, I'm pretty sure.
Opal and Siddie ran back and saw Nya standing near Eric, with Jay trying to attack Lydia, and Ultraviolet.
Lydia : Killow, grab him!
Killow grabbed Jay, and put a Vengestone Chain on him.
Jay : Oh, Come on.
Eric : Dad, while I'm happy you're back, that wasn't smart.
Lydia : You're talking to Jay, not a Genius.
Everybody then laughed at what Lydia said ( Even Nya, Kai, and Charlie )
Jay : Oh ha ha, and where the heck are we, and why does Lydia look like that?
Killow : The Stormed Princess is our leader, and she's the one who brought you back.
Killow then attached the Chains to the rocky ground of The Temple of Resurrection, in line with the others.
Nya : Lydia, do not make me do that for you again.
Lydia : I won't.
Kai : What do you mean Nya?
Nya : Getting myself killed was part of Lydia's plan, didn't know why, but she said it was part of how this would work to bring Jay back, and she was right.
Lydia : Siddie, Richard and Opal, come on, next is Cole, Morro, and Queen Akita.
Siddie and Opal both went forward so Lydia got get the hairs, but she was actually being gentle, and used scissors on them, rather than pulling them straight off.
Siddie : Lydia.
Lydia : Yes?
Siddie handed Lydia a pill bottle that had a hair in it.
Siddie : I already got the hair from my Grandfather.
Lydia : Thank you... Richard.
Richard came forward and let Lydia get one of his hairs, and they set up the Masks of Death and Ferocity.
Just then, Lydia used her phone, and left it on speaker.
Lydia : Killow, any sign of them?
Killow : You mean the Red Ninja or the Nindroids, or The Formlings... No.
Lydia : Good, keep an eye out up there.
Killow : We will, Killow out.
Lydia put her phone down, and got a hair from each of the Formlings, but she was being gently with Brenden and Alex.
Lydia nodded at her brother and cousin.
Alizah and Montgomery then fired up their powers quite a bit.
Montgomery threw his into the air, and Alizah threw her powers into Montgomery's Energy ball to make it stronger, he swung his bat at it, and the ball made contact with the Formlings, and it sent them flying towards and over The Royal Palace wall.
Montgomery : Going, going, going, and Gone... Home Run!
The Sons of Garmadon laughed at what Killow said, but it was hard for Alex to watch that.
Princess Alex : Just bring my Mommy back... Please.
Kai : Do we have to do that, Akita wasn't really much of our friend.
Nya : She wasn't Mine.
Lydia : This is happening, whether you like it or not.
Liv then used the hairs and the Masks, and they started rotation, and Gray, Black, Light-Blue and White Smoke was circling around as The Oni Masks of Death, Ferocity, and Brutality circled the Main Pedestal, and Liv used her powers to keep the rift open.
The Masks then went towards the rift, and caused a huge white flash.
Once the Smoke and the Flash had cleared, they saw Cole, Morro, and Queen Akita in the middle of the room unconscious.
Siddie : Whoa.
Opal : I can't believe that worked.
Cole and Morro both woke up first, and were confused.
Cole : Dozed off I guess.
Morro : What the heck happened?
Lydia : You were Resurrected is what happened.
Cole : Siddie?
Siddie : Daddy!
Siddie ran and threw herself into Cole's arms, and while shocked he hugged his daughter and stood up, and carried her in his arms.
Cole : Opal, what happened?
Opal : Lydia's not kidding Cole, you died, she used the Masks to resurrect you.
Kai : Yea, and She's gonna be the one needed a resurrection once I'm outta this cage.
Lydia : Oh shut it.
Richard hugged his father, and Morro returned the hug through his shock.
Morro : So I've died four times, nice.
Richard : Dad, I would appreciate it, if it didn't happen again.
Morro : I'll make sure it doesn't.
Siddie : You said that last time.
Akita woke up, and saw the Sons of Garmadon, but her attention went to Alex the second she saw her.
Queen Akita : Alex.
Princess Alex : Mommy!
Alex jumped into her Mother's arms, and Akita caught Alex, and embraced her daughter.
Princess Alex : I missed you.
Queen Akita : Brenden?
Brenden : Don't look at me Akita, Lydia was the one who brought you back.
Queen Akita : Thank you, my niece.
Lydia : Anytime.
Alex smiled for the first time in a while, as tears left her eyes and soaked her mother's shoulder.
Lydia : You guys can leave.
Cole : What about the rest of these clowns?
Plundar : You calling me a Clown?
Plundar removed his face mask, and his hood and Cole saw him.
Cole : Plundar?
Lydia : Plundar and Queen Vania gave me the Mask of Greed to resurrect my Daddy, and Plundar's been helpful since.
Plundar walked forward and hugged his old friend, and Cole returned the hug.
Brenden : Note to self, twenty years and he still can't stay out of trouble.
Plundar : Where's the Fun in that?
Cole : Right as if this Night is fun.
Lydia : Oh it's fun alright... For Me.
Liv : These "Clowns" are going to help Lydia resurrect Lloyd next, and then we won't need the rest of these nitwits anymore Cole, now get outta here.
Eric : Yea, we're done here Lydia.
Lydia : You guys did what you said you would, nothing more I can ask.
Siddie, Alex, Richard, and Eric left with Cole, Akita, and Morro, but left Nya and Jay.
Nya : He just walks away and leaves Me?
Lydia : You guys can leave as well, Chopper, Marco, and the rest of you, move them out of here, except Nya.
Before walking out Eric took the chains off of Nya, and made her stand off to the side.
Lydia : You stood against Kai's anger, for that I'm letting you out of the Cage, but not out of Trouble, I trust you won't do anything you'll regret.
The Sons of Garmadon then grabbed each of the people chained outside the cages, and began walking them out of the Palace.
Just before walking the others out, Montgomery threw a lock pick to Charlie, and waved his hand around his neck, telling him to wait, and Charlie nodded.
Ultraviolet : Stormed Princess!
Lydia : Yes?
Ultraviolet walked up the stairs with another person, wearing a helmet so they couldn't be seen.
Ultraviolet : Got another person to throw in the mix.
From the clothes they were wearing, Liv already knew who it was. . .
Chopper Maroon and Marco opened the Cage and grabbed Kai, and move him over to Charlie.
Master Chen : Great, this is such an improvement.
Charlie : Grandfather, that's not helping.
Chopper used a taser to stun Kai so he wouldn't run, and Ultraviolet pulled the helmet off the person she had, and threw her into the Cage while Kai was thrown into Charlie's.
She turned around and was shocked by what she saw.
Lydia : Grammy?!
Liv : Mom!
Misako : Liv, Lydia!
Ultraviolet then moved the Cage, and Charlie spoke up.
Charlie : Don't worry, my friends will stop this!
Lydia : If they try, they'll have to Make a choice.
Charlie : What are you talking about?
Lydia nodded and Ultraviolet moved the cage carrying Misako and Chen closer to the water, while Lydia walked towards where Charlie and Kai were.
Charlie : No!
Lydia : Save the Old People, or their beloved Amber Ninja and his Father.
Master Chen : Charlie, whatever happens, the man they're trying to bring back, is not Emperor Lloyd, you can't let this happen!
Killow was about to walk back towards the Main Gates, when he talked to Liv and Lydia.
Killow : Sorry we didn't tell you two about Misako...
Lydia grabbed Killow's hand and nodded, and he smiled and walked away.
Lydia : Nothing else bad better happen tonight. . .
Liv Then went and plucked a hair from Misako's head.
Liv : Mom, I'm sorry, but this has to be done.
Misako : What?
Liv : We're bringing Lloyd back. . .
20 Minutes Later. . .
The Sons of Garmadon actually used a catapult at the front gate of the Palace Ruins, and fired The Young Ninja away from the Palace, along with Maya, and Ray.
while Cole, Opal, Morro, and Akita were simply walking away.
Richard : Okay, Phase Three of the plan.
Morro : What?
Siddie : Guys, we're sorry, but we're heading back, Lydia's Plan to Resurrect Lloyd the last phase comes with the Sons of Garmadon's downfall, if we want that to happen, we gotta go.
Queen Akita : Just be careful, please.
Princess Alex : Mommy, we'll come back.
Alex then kissed her Mother's cheek, and Akita smiled.
Queen Akita : So now you decided to kiss your Mommy goodbye, how thoughtful.
Alex giggled and playfully gave her mother an evil look.
Princess Alex : Really Mommy?
Queen Akita : Just so you little scamp.
Alex, Richard, Eric, and Siddie then ran off towards the far right side of the Palace Wall, and climbed on top to observe Lloyd's Resurrection, and wait for The Sons of Garmadon's Fall.
Near the Gates. . .
Ultraviolet : Any sign of The Young Ninja?
Killow : There's been no sign of them, except for Nina, since she was launched away with the others.
Ultraviolet : Don't forget, they're Ninja, they don't like to be seen.
Killow : Then why wear such bright colors past midnight, you're like a living glowstick in the streets.
Just then they saw The Commissioner and the Police.
Killow : Here they come.
Commissioner Stevens : All units continue with Caution, I don't want any "Heroes" tonight.
The Police cars made it to the Palace and Commissioner Stevens used a Megaphone.
Commissioner Stevens : Alright Bikers, we'll give you a Chance to resolve this Peacefully.
Ultraviolet and Plundar : Where's the Fun in that?
Commissioner Stevens : Alright Sons of Garmadon, we have reason to believe you have trespassed onto these premises and are planning to engage in some pretty illegal activity, but if you come out with your hands up-
Killow : Hands up, Okay.
Killow used The Mask of Deception and raised his hand, and it moved Commissioner Stevens' Megaphone.
Commissioner Stevens : Alright, my Megaphone is flying.
Killow then laughed and dropped the Megaphone in the water.
Commissioner Stevens : Okay, I guess we can't resolve this peacefully, Charge 'em up!
The Police pulled out their tasers, and began charging.
Commissioner Stevens : And Arrest them!
Killow : Slow them down, we'll get the Masks to Lydia.
Commissioner Stevens : You wanted your distraction, you got it!
Felicia : Thanks Commissioner, we'll take it from here.
Felicia, Xavier, Hazel, Via, Zach, Clayton, Lucas and Nina were climbing the walls of the Palace to try and reach Lydia.
3 Minutes Later. . .
Liv was using her powers to hold the link between The Masks of Vengeance, Deception, Hatred, and Greed to the Rift opening to The Departed Realm, so Lydia could free Lloyd. . .
Master Chen : It's starting, Charlie where are the Others?!
Lydia : Place the masks in position.
Killow, Alizah, Montgomery and Liv placed the Masks, and Liv got into her position to hold the link to the Departed Realm.
Lydia : Clotho-venge. Clotho-decer. Clotho-haeed!
Lydia moved her arms and formed the links between the Masks, and Liv used her powers.
The Symbols on the ground centering the Pedestal where Lydia was standing started moving, and Lydia looked at the Masks.
Charlie : Don't do this Liddy, this isn't you!
Lydia Mischievously smiled and raised her arms and continued.
Lydia : Clotho-venge, Clotho-decer, Clotho-haeed!
Outside. . .
The Young Ninja were dealing with more of the guards, and taking out the guards as they went. . .
Mohawk : Stuck on Foot Patrol, this is lame.
Sawyer : A Job is a job, and I heard that the Princess is going to be broadcasting this.
Nails : Somebody better take pictures...
In the Temple of Resurrection. . .
Lydia : Clotho-venge, Clotho-decer, Clotho-haeed!
Lydia : Rip the Fabric between Realms, Oni I call upon you, Connect me to, The Departed Realm!
The Rift then opened, and The Masks remained in the air. . .
The wind blew against Lydia, but stopped blowing on her after a few seconds, and Liv continued to hold the rift open.
The Cages were blowing in the wind, and Charlie looked towards Chen.
Master Chen : Grandson!
Charlie then banged against the cage and tried to get out, but because it was Vengestone, it wasn't any use.
Lydia then looked up, and gave an evil look and mischievously laughed. . .
Lydia : *Laugh*
Outside the Temple.
Chopper Maroon : I know we're supposed to watch The Young Ninja, but everything cool is happening behind us.
Marco : If you look, I'll look.
They both looked into the Temple and saw Lydia laughing as the Rift was getting bigger.
Marco : Awesome.
Just then somebody tapped Marco's Shoulder.
Clayton : What's Awesome?
The Young Ninja grabbed Chopper and Marco and knocked them out.
The Young Ninja then looked through the door and saw Lydia laughing, and she continued the ritual.
Lydia : I call upon The Lord of Many Names, The Lord of Destruction, The King of Shadows, and The Emperor of Ninjago, The Green Ninja, The Master of Energy... The Dark Lord, and Lloyd Garmadon!
Felicia : She's calling both of them at Once!
Misako : Lydia's calling her Grandfather back as well?!
Master Chen : Well from everything she and Liv told me, didn't seem like she had a choice.
Lydia : Lloyd Garmadon!
Just then Lydia looked up to the rift and gave a mischievous smile.
Lord Garmadon : Who... Calls. ME?!
Lloyd : Who are You?
Misako : Leave my Son, Alone!
Liv kept the rift open but was in shock by what Misako just said, and got a serious look on her face and nodded at Lydia for her to keep talking.
Nina : Did you hear that?!
Prince Zach : That sounded like Lord Garmadon.
Felicia : And Emperor Lloyd!
Clayton : We gotta stop this!
The Young Ninja then ran in and started attacking, Just as Charlie finished picking the lock, but Kai made him drop it, and it fell.
Charlie : Guys, It's a Trap!
Lydia : The Young Ninja?! Start the Wheel, Killow!
Killow went and pushed the lever, just as Kai tried to jump, Killow grabbed him, and threw him into the same cage with Misako and Chen.
Kai : OH, COME ON!
Master Chen : Save my, Grandson!
Felicia and Nina looked over and saw Charlie.
Felicia : Brother!
Charlie : You guys need to stop the Ceremony!
Felicia and Nina tried to use Spinjitzu, but since they weren't part Oni, they couldn't.
Lydia : Follow my Voice, Feel my Presence... Join me, Lloyd Garmadon!
Lloyd : Who, Are you?!
Liv : You know, who she is little brother!
Kai : Somebody help my Son!
Felicia : We gotta help my brother!
Just then Siddie jumped over the wall and down there and the others saw her running over to pull the lever.
Felicia : Siddie?!
Siddie : Felicia help Me, It's stuck!
Felicia tried to help Siddie, and it worked almost, with Charlie being brought out of the water, but the lever broke.
Felicia : Oh snap.
Kai : Charlie!
Charlie's Cage fell into the water, and Kai, Misako, and Chen were brought to the highest possible place in the Cage.
Lydia : Lord Garmadon, Follow my voice... Lloyd Garmadon, Follow my voice, and Come to the Light!
Clayton used his hammer to stop the cages from moving.
Kai : Siddie, use the Earth Punch and help Charlie!
Siddie then used her Earth Punch strength to turn Charlie's Gears and help him.
She succeeded, and broke Charlie's cage.
Siddie : Charlie?!
Charlie : Thank you... Dad, Grandfather, are you okay?!
Kai : Son, stop her already!
Montgomery : Charlie!
Charlie looked at Montgomery and saw him wearing the Ninja suit that looked exactly like Lloyd's from Season 8.
Montgomery : Get me Inside!
Just then, they heard some laughing, but then it was sighing coming from the Rift.
Kai : That's not good.
Xavier : What's going on?!
Nina : Your a Nindroid, you give Answers, not Questions!
Just then they heard Lloyd's Voice.
Lydia : I hear you Father...feel you. Come to Me...be mortal again! Kai and his son want to stop you, but I want to make you stronger, and be with Me again! It is I... Come to me. Follow my voice, The voice... Of Princess Lydia Garmadon!
Lloyd : L-l-l-Lydia?
Lydia : Your time is now... Lloyd Garmadon!
Montgomery : Charlie!
Charlie nodded to the others and they understood and did Spinjitzu to try and get Montgomery to stop his sister.
Montgomery managed to enter the rift and use his Bat to hit Liv aside, and he used his Powers, and punched his sister in the Chest to stop her.
Montgomery : I'm sorry, little sister. . .
Lydia : No. . .
Lydia looked up and saw the rift closing.
Lydia : Nooooooooooo!
The Rift closed, and all four of the Oni Masks fell, and Lydia fell to her knees and started crying.
Montgomery : I'm sorry, Dad. . .
Montgomery went over to his sister, and had Lydia stand up, and he tightly hugged her, and Lydia wrapped her arms around her twin brother and cried on his shoulder.
.
.
.
Montgomery : I'm sorry... Lydia.
Killow and The Oni's Mercenaries got into their places.
Just as Charlie broke Kai and Chen out of the cage, but Ultraviolet shoved Charlie in there, and closed it again and left him and Misako in there, and all they had to do was look in her eyes for them to understand.
Just then, Commissioner Stevens ran up the stairs with his officers.
Commissioner Stevens : Alright boys, let's clean the house.
Just then two officers, walked over to Lydia and pulled her away from Montgomery.
Officer : Madame, you are under arrest!
Lydia : No... Don't Touch Me!
Kai : Looks like this is the end of you, and The Sons of Garmadon!
Lydia broke free of the Officer's hold for a split second and looked at Kai, and she mischievously laughed.
Lydia : You still think this is about The Stupid Sons of Garmadon?!
Kai was confused and Jay quickly ran inside the temple and ran to Liv, who was on her knees.
Liv : Jay. . .
Jay : Are you okay, Liv?
Liv : Yea, I'm fine, let me niece talk, all of you!
Lydia : I still can't believe, you though after all of this, I would do something this Mad, I will get one thing clear here, this was all because of Kai's Madness, that's easy to see.
Commissioner Stevens : Yep.
Nya : Agreed.
Master Chen : Ditto.
Lydia : However, in The Sons of Garmadon, was a rising resistance to their dark cause, and It had risen, every passing day, to bring down the Bikers!
Commissioner Stevens : And What is this Resistance?
Just then Ultraviolet tried to make a run towards the exit, but a big gray fist hit her back towards the middle of the temple.
Killow : From my time serving The Quiet One, I learned it's never polite to scare her Princess.
Nya : Killow?!
Just then somebody did airjitzu and landed next to Nya.
Eric : Hello, Mother.
Richard and Siddie jumped around the left wall and began attacking the bikers.
Richard : Been a while since we fought with you guys.
Siddie : We just figured you could use our help!
Killow grabbed a huge barrel and threw it at some of the bikers to knock them down.
Nya : The Oni's Mercenaries!
Marco and Chopper Maroon charged and pinned Mr. E down.
Liv quickly got Lydia's attention, and ran off to another room with her.
Just then, Alizah broke Charlie and Misako's cage, and he was shocked.
Charlie : This entire thing was an act?!
Alizah : Don't worry, Lydia had the whole thing under control.
Killow : You're darn right she did.
Commissioner Stevens : I knew I made the right choice pardoning you guys.
Killow : Anytime, Stevens, and feel free to take The Oni Masks, we don't need them anymore.
Ultraviolet stood up, and she was looking around.
Ultraviolet : Where is she?
Lydia : I'm not turning back my chance to make amends, now's my time. . .
Lydia used Spinjitzu and she saw her Oni's Mercenary Clothes and she threw them over the edge of the temple and they went into the water.
The Princess looked down, and jumped off the top of the Temple.
and Landed in front of everybody, with her hands on her hips and she genuinely smiled at Charlie, and he smiled back, and she kept her hands on her hips and smiled as she walked towards Ultraviolet.
Charlie looked at Lydia, and instead of being in Forest Green leather boots, her feet were in her Yellow Overalls again, he looked at her arms and saw them to be in the Overalls, and the sleeves of her Old Gold jacket rather than a spiky black leather jacket, and looked at her chest to see her shirt, that Liv said it was for her to signal others that she was a girl to fight beside others who stood for what was right in Ninjago. . .
Lydia kept her hands on her hips, and smiled as she answered Ultraviolet's questions.
Lydia : Now you see what happens, when you mess with the Protectors of Ninjago.
Ultraviolet : You said you don't fight.
Lydia : I don't.
Ultraviolet : You said you don't stand alongside The Young Ninja!
Lydia : I don't.
Ultraviolet : You said you don't betray the team you're on!
Lydia : I don't.
Ultraviolet : Then... Who are You?!
Montgomery fired up his powers and grabbed his bat, and Lydia looked into her twin brother's green eyes, and he looked into her twin sister's green eyes.
Lydia : The Gold Princess of Ninjago!
Lydia threw Ultraviolet at Montgomery, and he hit her with his powered bat and when she landed they heard a siren.
Montgomery : Whoops, hey at least an ambulance broke her fall.
Everybody then laughed as Liv and Montgomery walked over and hugged The Gold Princess.
Princess Lydia : Thank you. . .
Montgomery : Anytime, Little Sister.
Princess Lydia : I love you Aunt Liv.
Liv : I love you too, Sweetheart.
A single tear went down Charlie's cheek as he smiled, that Lydia was with him the whole time.
Liv : Take 'em away boys!
Stevens and the rest of the Officers got back to work and arrested the bikers, except Chopper Maroon, Killow, and Marco since they helped.
Lydia then freed Misako, and she frowned and tears formed in her eyes as she looked away.
Princess Lydia : I'm sorry Grammy... I'm sorry I dragged you into this.
Misako snapped her fingers in front of her niece, and kneeled down to get her attention.
Misako : Hey Lydia... Sweetie, you didn't drag me into anything, this isn't your fault.
Princess Lydia : It just, still saddens me, that while it was to bring them down, I was close to getting my Daddy back.
Master Chen kneeled down beside Misako when Charlie walked over to hug his Grandfather, and Charlie and Lydia stood beside each other and looked at their Grandparents.
Misako : You two didn't make any Mistake.
Master Chen : Much like with Me, what you kids saw in Chopper Maroon, Marco, and Killow, helped them change their ways, meaning, especially to you Charlie, you're Trusting, Good, and see the Best in People.
Lydia then knew it was her chance, and to a massive shock, she pulled on Charlie's arm to bring him close, and she kissed his cheek.
Princess Lydia : Like Charlie did with Me.
Charlie : I'm not saying I'm completely done with that Conversation, Liddy, but for today, I can let it slip.
Charlie then held Lydia's hand, and she smiled, glad Charlie not only used her nickname, but that for the first time, he genuinely smiled at her.
Kai : Lydia.
Kai actually kneeled down and hugged Lydia, which was a shock to her, but she hugged back.
Kai : I'm Sorry. . . I should have trusted you... you just brought down the Sons of Garmadon, and the only thing I thought about bringing down was you.
Princess Lydia : It's Okay, I've learned from My Daddy, Killow, and Queen Vania that trust can easily be abused, I'm just glad I've earned yours.
Kai stood up and walked away with Felicia.
Liv : You coming?
Lydia then ran over to her aunt, and raised her arms, as Liv grabbed her niece by her waist, and spun around with Lydia in her arms, glad they stopped The bikers.
Lydia looked towards the wall, and she looked very hard as she saw Harumi wearing her Empress clothes, she smiled and nodded to her daughter and ran off, and it made Lydia smile, while not right now, she would see her Mother again.
Everybody then walked outside the palace, and were standing on the steps and waving to the Police.
Liv put Lydia down and she took one last look at her home before walking away with the others...
Inside The Temple of Resurrection.
A Black Fist with Purple Destructive Power in his hand appeared through the rift which reopened.
Person : I'm coming for you Lydia.
Just as the black figure walked away.
A Man in Green Robes punched through the Pedestal with Green Energy...
.
.
.
And it was Lloyd Garmadon. . .
Lloyd : Don't worry Lydia, I'm coming.
Next Time on The Masks of Garmadon : The Young Ninja celebrate at Laughy's while Lydia is still in sadness about Lloyd, but Charlie comes to her side, and says she can stay with the Young Ninja if she wants to, before they see Garmadon is alive, and Lydia wants to take the risk of Death to stop him, since she brought him back, with The Young Ninja agreeing, with only Charlie and The Oni's Mercenaries saying it's too dangerous, but when Charlie decides to go alone, to see if Garmadon will cough up Skylor's whereabouts to him, a Golden Game Changer comes up, and it could be the breaking point between Charlie and Lydia's lives. . .
Is Lloyd Alive? What will Charlie do? What happens to Lydia?
To Be Continued. . . . .
