Chapter 5

Leaving

Harumi's POV

Lloyd's apartment was 10 miles from Mistaké's Tea Shop. I was almost there. I just forgot one thing, Little Wu. The palace was a bit close from Lloyd's apartment. I ran to get Little Wu from the palace. I mean, I couldn't just leave him there. After 10 long minutes of jogging, I finally got to the palace. I saw that all the palace doors were locked. I seemed to lost hope, but I saw that my bedroom window was opened. I climbed on to the bricks of the castle which led me to the window.

I climbed for at least 10 minutes before I got to my room. When I got to my room, Little Wu wasn't there. I heard some talking coming from downstairs. It was the voices of the Emperor and Empress, my step-parents.

"No, we must sell it," said suggested the Emperor.

"Oh god, no. I mean have you been going to bars. I mean you could make your step-daughter crazy.," said a familiar voice.

I looked though the keyhole, and it was Michael Borg.

"Trust me, selling is one of the most stupid decisions you've ever made," Michael said.

"Are you calling the Emperor a moron," asked The Empress.

"No, I'm simply saying that is a stupid decision he's making," replied Michael.

"Is there anything else you don't want to happen," asked the Emperor.

"Yes. I don't want your daughter to follow your footsteps. I mean, what the hell," said Michael.

"It's cursed realm," I said as I came into the room.

"Well I liked to say hell," said Michael.

"What is similar between the cursed realm and hell," I asked.

"They a spiritual place of suffering where the evil punished after death. The only difference is that there is no fire," Michael replied.

I could agree to that.

"But the way do you ever hit her," asked Michael.

"Yes," replied the Emperor.

"That is sort of like child abuse. I mean, didn't your mother ever told to not to hit a female," Michael said.

"Emperor," I said.

I needed to tell him good things about me.

"Emperor, Empress, this is Michael Borg. He's in my class," I said.

"Why are you calling me Empress, Harumi," asked The Empress.

"He looks a bit, young to be in high school," said the Emperor.

"Never too young to take it up the next level," Michael replied.

"Michael, did she called me Empress," asked the Empress.

"Because YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER," I yelled.

Michael covered his ears. I looked at him with a look.

"I didn't yell that loud," I said.

"But it could have blew up my eardrums." replied Michael.

"OK," I said.

That reply made me feel uncomfortable.

"You want me to wait outside," asked Michael.

"Yeah sure," I replied.

Michael started to leave but I forgot to get the new team together.

"Michael, wait," I yelled.

"What," Michael asked.

"Um, Could you call Cole Hence, Zane Julien, Jay Walker, Kai Smith, Nya Smith, Lloyd Garmadon, and Morro Taylor from school," I asked Michael.

"Why," asked Michael.

"It's for, um, something," I told him.

"Ok," Michael replied.

Michael left the palace but he had one thing to say.

"This is a nice palace. You have a nice bodyguard," Michael said.

The Emperor was uncomfortable.

"What the cursed realm was that," asked the Emperor.

"Mistaké told me everything. About my mother, my father, and Lloyd," I yelled.

"Is he evil," asked The Emperor.

"No, he's the GREEN NINJA," I yelled.

Hutchins came in the room, but before he could say something, there came some music from outside. Then, Michael started singing. He was singing to All Star.

"Listen, Emperor, Harumi doesn't want to follow in your footsteps," said Hutchins.

"Oh please, you have always been soft on her," scoffed the Emperor.

"Stop it, Ok. Ever since I came here you've been cruel and selfish. And you've been always saying Harumi, you're royalty and Lloyd is not. Well you know what, you people are mean cruel, selfish, and annoying," I yelled.

Hutchins, The Empress, The Emperor, and the royal guards all looked at me. It was like they were frighten of me.

"Just like your mother," said the Emperor.

I looked around the room, and everything was floating. My anger trigged my telekinesis to make every object float in the room. I took a deep breath and said something.

"I'm going Emperor and Empress. Take care. Hutchins, take care also," I said.

I moved to the palace doors quietly and slowly. I opened the door silently and walked out of the palace. I took a deep breath also. I was finally free. But then I looked and saw Michael. I was angry at him for playing music and singing.

"Why," I asked.

"It was Cole who was singing and dancing. And Jay recommend All Star. Because Jay Walker likes the stupid meme," replied Michael.

Michael pointed at Cole. I looked Cole. He was here with Zane, Jay, Kai, Nya, Pixal were here. There were also three people here I didn't recognized. One was a girl about 16 with amber eyes, and she had cherry red hair. She was wearing an orange dress with high heels on. Another one was a kid about 17, he had black short hair and green eyes. He was wearing a green hoodie and black pants. The last one was a girl with red hair and a blue streak. Her eyes were hazel blue. She was wearing a red skirt with a light blue top on.

"Hey," said the second girl.

"Hi," I said.

"I don't believe you've met these 3. This Is Skylor, Morro, and Seliel. Where's Lloyd," Michael said.

"I'm here," yelled Lloyd.

I saw Lloyd he was ran all the way to his apartment to the Royal Palace.

"Sorry I'm late, my mom was worried of where I'm going," said Lloyd.

"It's fine," I said to Lloyd."

"So where are we going to? Ninjago Stadium? Ninjago Museum of Natural History? Don't tell me, THE MOVIES," asked Michael.

"Michael, we're going to the Mountain of a Million Steps," I said.

"Oh, wait what," Michael questioned.

"You heard me, we're going all the way up the Mountain of Million Steps to see Master Wu," I said.

"My, My uncle," Lloyd asked.

"Yes, Lloyd, your uncle," I replied.

"Come on, Harumi. We can't make up there. We can use my inventions? Oh wait, they're out of order. How about grappling hooks? Oh wait, Batman only uses those. How about climbing? Which we will fall to our death. Oh man," Jay yelled.

We all just stared at Jay.

"Is he always like this, I asked Kai.

"You have no idea," Kai replied.

I started to go back inside the palace. I forgot Little Wu.

"Where are you going," Cole asked.

"To get Little Wu," I replied.

"Don't worry. I've got him," Cole said.

He turned around. There was something coming out of his middle pocket of his backpack. It was Little Wu.

"Why would name a baby" said Jay.

"He's a toddler," I said in the middle of Jay's question.

"Whatever. Why would you name a toddler after Garmadon's Brother, aka Lloyd's Uncle," Jay asked really loudly.

"Jay, what are you doing," Lloyd questioned.

"Yeah. Don't you know the Sons of Garmadon will hear you," I said while I was crying.

Yes, I was crying. Only because I was afraid the my nightmare will become reality.


Lloyd's POV

"Harumi, what's wrong," I asked.

"I don't want to do this," Harumi said sadly.

"Why," I asked.

"Well, I had a nightmare last night. Same nightmare I talked about in gym but this one was different. I was wearing some sort of mask. It was purple and it had some black hairs on the side. I felt Invincible while wearing. And I was holding you violently. And there was this rock giant titan thing. he kind of looked like the black man with four arms." Harumi said."

"Are you being racist to him," Morro asked.

"What, no. He literary had black skin and four arms," Harumi said.

"Oh," Morro said.

"Continue," I said to Harumi.

I had to hear more of this nightmare.

"Kai, Cole, Jay, Zane, and Little Wu were on a ship that flies. And the rock titan crushed them to death," Harumi said.

Harumi cried a few more tears. I felt bad for her.

"Harumi, stop believing in those nightmares. You're not evil," I told her.

"Really. Am I ugly," Harumi asked.

"Don't say that. You are not ugly. You are the most beautiful girl I've ever met. And I was wondering, if you want to do anything this Saturday," I sad to Harumi.

"Lloyd Garmadon, are you asking me on a date," Harumi blushed.

"Something like that, Yeah. Don't worry. I'll let you think about it," I said.


Harumi's POV

I blushed in embarrassment. You see, ever since 5th grade I have a crush on him. I don't know if he has a crush on me. I'm too afraid to tell him. But this date is worth a shot.

"Yes Lloyd," I said.

"Yes, what," Lloyd asked me.

"Yes, I'll go on a date with you," I said.

Lloyd smiled. So did I. He seemed like the only person to make me feel better.

"All right everybody, to the Mountain of a Million Steps," Lloyd said to everybody.

"No. I'm good," Jay said.

"We're going, Jay. And that's that," Cole said as he pulled Jay's ear.

"Ow Ow Ow. Hey Hey HEY," Jay yelled.

For 15 minutes straight we had to hear Jay's screaming. The adventure has started. Me, Lloyd, Cole, Nya, Jay, Kai, Zane, Seliel, Pixal, Skylor, Morro, and Little Wu finding Master Wu to train us to become Spinjitzu Masters. And straighten us to not be obsessed-Video game teens. That part will be very difficult.
