Chapter 6: The Eye

Harumi and Lloyd were currently running through the jungle, being chased by a giant dinosaur-like monster. They hid out in a ditch, and waited till he went away to come out. "Are you okay?" Harumi asked Lloyd as they got out.

"I'm okay. (Winces)." Lloyd said back. The blanket was coming a little lose, and his arm still needed support. "Here let me help." Harumi tightened the sling blanket, around Lloyd's neck and arm. "Better?"

"Much, thanks. Come on, we better get moving." he told her. "But Lloyd, shouldn't we try and find the others? I mean this is a jungle, and your arm still seems pretty bad." Harumi wondered. "We can't. The Sons of Garmadon are gonna be looking for that mask too, we need to get there first." Lloyd answered.

So the two went on off into the jungle.

Back at the Destiny's Bounty, the rest of the Ninja were fixing up the ship, and looking for Lloyd and Harumi. Zane was using is scanners to see if he could locate them. "Any luck?" Pixal asked him. "Nothing, the jungle is too dense." Zane replied.

"Should we go out and look for them?" Pixal suggested. "No, then we'd get lost too. After we get the ship up and running again we'll search for them by air." Zane explained. While Kai and Jay were doing repairs, Cole was still cooing the baby.

"Hey guys, do you think this little guy looks like a Cole Jr.?" he thought out loud. "Will you please put the baby down, and give us a hand here?" Jay interrogated. "Zane, try starting the engine again." Kai told Zane, through his headset.

But there was just static. "Great, there's no signal out here." he groaned. They heard growling and roaring in the distance. "What was that?" asked Cole. Everything was silent, until the sound of static scared them.

"You guys there?" Zane asked over the intercom. "Yeah, any luck with the signals?" Kai replied. "Not yet, we're gonna have to get to a higher level." Zane explained. Pixal tried to start the ship, but and one of the rotors got started, but it backfired.

"Oh great, we're lost in an uncharted jungle, Lloyd and Harumi are missing, we're surrounded by who knows what kind of man eating animals, and now this happens." Jay complained. "You know, guys I think Jay could use a diaper change." joked Cole.

"Very funny." Jay remarked. Then they heard something else coming towards them. It was Nya, flying in the Samurai X suit. "Hey, guys, look what I found." she said. "You found my, er, your suit." Pixal replied.

"Don't worry about it, Pixal." Nya told her, as she climbed out. "You're Samurai X now." Pixal smiled at hearing that. "I also found this. Lloyd and Harumi left a note, they're going to find the third mask." Nya told them, holding a leaf with writing on it.

"At least they're okay." Said Kai. And everyone went back to work.

In another part of the jungle, the Sons of Garmadon were in their bikes going after the third mask. "The Eye said the Destiny's Bounty went down, just as planned." Said Ultraviolet. "Now we just gotta get to the temple, where the mask is." Killow added.

"But um..." One of the members spoke. "What's wrong?" Asked Killow in a demanding voice. "What about the stories? You know the ones where the people who go in don't come back out, and the monsters?" The member explained.

Killow got off his bike, and grabbed him by the collar. "You'll face worse consequences if you disobey an order from the Eye." Killow threatened. He threw him onto the ground. "Then let's ride!" Cried Ultraviolet, and they all rode off.

Back with Lloyd and Harumi, she was clearing a path through the jungle with a sword with Lloyd following her. "Trekking through a jungle full of unknown creatures, not knowing what ahead of us, the hot sun over us, and bugs flying around us. Is this what adventure feels like?" Harumi said.

"Unfortunately, yes." Lloyd answered. "It's amazing." Harumi replied. Lloyd smiled at her, then spoke up. "According to the map we have to go down the Black River, but before that we need to go through Strangler's Path."

"Strangler's Path, that doesn't sound good." Harumi answered worriedly. "Don't worry, a lot of these places have scary names just scare people away." Lloyd assured her. But as they walked, some plants snuck up behind them, and grabbed Lloyd.

"Lloyd!" Harumi cried, running after him. Before the plants could drag him any further, Harumi threw the sword, and the plants off him. "Are you okay?" she asked him. "(Pants), I think so. But that plant almost got me." Lloyd answered out of breath.

"I'm so glad I didn't hit you with the sword, I just panicked and had to think fast." "It's okay, you have pretty good aim." Lloyd commented. "Thanks." said Harumi, and she pecked him on the cheek. When she pulled away she was shocked by what she did, while Lloyd was dumbfounded.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have done that." she apologized. "No it's okay, it's fine, it's...let's keep going." Lloyd sputtered. "Right, is your arm feeling better?" "Yeah." he said, and they walked on.

Pixal and Zane were on the bridge working on the computer system. "Any luck turning it on?" Zane asked. "No." Pixal answered exasperated. "Is something wrong, you don't sound like yourself?" Zane questioned.

"No, not really, I mean yes. Zane I need to ask you something really important, but can you be honest with your answer?" Pixal replied. "We share a heart, so you can ask me anything." Zane told her.

"Was I better inside the computer?" Pixal wondered. Zane was confused. "What do you mean by that?" "I can handle the truth. Because I want to be a good member of the Ninja, but I don't want to go back inside the computer. I like my body, but if you feel I should go..." Pixal explained.

"The decision is yours to make, Pixal. And I really like actually seeing you." Zane said sincerely. "Thank you." Pixal replied, and the two went back to work.

The Sons of Garmadon were riding through the jungle, when they came to a canyon. Killow put on the Mask of Deception, and used it's powers to control the rocks around him, and create a bridge.

The other members of the Ninja were busy with repairs cleaning the Destiny's Bounty. "Do you Lloyd and Harumi are okay out there?" Cole thought out loud. "Oh, I'm sure they're fine." replied Kai.

"Yeah, they seem to look out for each other." agreed Jay. "Yeah, they're definitely getting close. You think Lloyd can handle being a ninja and a prince?" joked Cole. Everyone laughed. "Can someone pass me the pliers?" he asked.

Jay looked for the pliers, when they were handed to him. "Thanks." he answered, taking them. When he realized what had happened, he looked at who handed him the pliers, and was shocked. It was the baby, only the baby was standing by himself, and looked more like a toddler.

"Cole...didn't you put the baby down for a small nap?" he wondered. "Yeah, but Cole Jr. was pretty restless." Cole answered. "Then why is he down here, and standing on his own?" Jay asked freaked.

Confused, the others hurried down to see. "Cole Jr.'s walking already?" Cole questioned. "I may not know that much about babies, but they're not supposed to do that for at least a year." Zane told them.

The baby then got a cup of tea from the table, blew on it, and sipped it. "And they're not supposed to do that either." replied Kai. "All right, I officially quit." Jay remarked. "A ninja never quwits." the baby said in a baby voice.

When they heard that their jaws dropped. "Guys, did he just..." Jay sputtered. "That baby's not Cole Jr." said Kai. "Definitely not." agreed Cole. "That's..." Zane started. "...Master Wu." they all finished. The toddler just laughed.

Lloyd and Harumi continued trekking through the jungle, until they came to the Black River and a boat. "Hey, this boat as the Sons of Garmadon symbol on it." Lloyd observed. "But why would their boat be here?" Harumi wondered.

They cautiously boarded, and saw that no one else was on board. But they also saw a key and another map to the Oni temple on a table. "Why would there be two maps to the temple?" asked Lloyd. "Maybe, the Eye sent out a team to look for it ahead of time." Harumi suggested.

"If that's the case, we need to get there now." said Lloyd, he started the boat, and as he drove, Harumi used a giant pole with a hook to get big things in the out of the way. "This all seems so unreal, I mean I've heard about resurrection in media, but is it possible in real life?" Harumi mentioned.

"With all the things I've seen, anything's possible." Lloyd told her. And they continued down the river.

Back on the ship, the others had come together, trying to wrap their heads around the fact that the baby was their very old and wise leader Master Wu. "This can't be Wu, I mean liking tea and growing this fast is unusual, but it can't be." said Nya.

"Sensei...Wu." said the toddler, finishing his tea. Everyone looked at Nya. "Yep, that's him." she answered. "But how can an old man get so young?" asked Pixal. "He's like a fortune cookie, you never know what you'll get with him around." Jay replied.

"Maybe it has something to do with the blades from our last battle." suggested Cole. "Cole's right, he touched the blade before he disappeared into time." said Zane. "But how would that turn him into a baby?" wondered Kai.

"It probably reversed his aging, and aged him back to the youngest age possible, an infant." Nya explained. "If that's the case then as the effects of the blade wear off he'll get older." added Zane. "So that's how a baby can grow into a toddler overnight." said Jay.

"Tea." whined toddler Wu. Nya and Jay poured him a cup, and gave it to him. Suddenly, the sounds of motorcycles, and Ultraviolet's yelling was heard in the distance. "The Sons of Garmadon, they're here." cried Kai.

"We need to get out of here." said Cole. "But how the rotors are still shot." reminded Jay. "I'll try and slow them down." said Pixal, getting into her suit. "Be careful." Zane told her. "I will." she replied, and she flew off.

"All hands on deck, everyone." Nya ordered. Cole picked up toddler Wu, and carried him away. "Don't worry little master, we'll keep you safe." he told him. While Pixal fought the Sons of Garmadons the others tried to start up the ship in a hurry.

Lloyd and Harumi were still sailing down the river, when something pulled the pole right out of Harumi's hands. "Lloyd, something's in the water." she told him. Lloyd stopped the boat, but as soon as he did, something hit them.

"Something unfriendly, let's go." he said, and started the boat back up, and rode off. A scaly, red and black sea monster poked its' head out and tried to bite the ship. Luckily they dodged it, and continued going forward.

When it looked like they were going to get bit again, the sea monster swam right past them. "What was that about?" asked Harumi confused. "It's trying to get away from something, but what?" Lloyd answered.

Haurmi turned around, and saw something unsettling. "Uh, Lloyd?" she asked, tapping his shoulder. Lloyd turned around, and saw what she saw, a waterfall! "HANG ON!" shouted Lloyd, as they started to go over.

Harumi grabbed Lloyd, and they both flew off the boat, and landed in the water.

Nya had just flipped a switch, and all the screen came up again. "All systems are go." she announced. Everyone cheered. "Let's get this thing in the air." said Kai. Nya then saw something on the screen.

"Hey, the program that ran the Eye's location is finished." "Where is he?" asked Zane. "There's something weird, the signal started in New Ninjago City, it bounced off here, and then went to another location." Nya explained.

"Bounced off here? How's that possible?" wondered COle. "Guys, do you think...Harumi is the Eye?" suggested Jay. Everyone looked at each other with worried eyes, was Lloyd in danger?
