A/N: Hey, what's up? I know I probably should've left a better cliffhanger than the one I did, but whatever, I just wanna' leave you with something good because I have a quiz on Wednesday and I'll have to study on Tuesday night. BTW, my stupid parents got me a tutor to work with me on Saturdays so I might not update as much as I do on weekends. I might be able to on Sundays if I'm lucky, but no promises.

Chapter 16: Good to evil

Lloyd and the other ninja stayed back on the Bounty since Scarlet's dad would never allow five boys to sleep in the same house as his daughter. Though, Nya was allowed to stay. The boys had left about four hours earlier. They sat on her bed, sharing a tub of ice cream while watching their fifth cheesy romantic movie. Scarlet had seen Haden do things like so with her friends back when she was younger and she always thought it was boring, but…Now that she was older…She found out crying for no reason was strangely…Addicting. (A/N: It totally is though, seriously I may be a punk rocker seriously…It is so addicting!). "Oh man, I can't believe she left Armando for Jacob!" Nya eyes widened as the love triangle unfolded.

"I know! That is so sad! Armando doesn't deserve that!" Scarlet cried as she stuffed her mouth with more chocolate ice cream. She looked down at the container and saw it was empty. "Crap, we're out of ice cream." She whined.

The samurai looked down and saw it too. "Aw, man! I can't continue this romance marathon without ice cream! It's in-humane!"

Scarlet sighed, but shrugged and paused the movie.

Nya looked at the master of wind. "What's wrong?"

"My sister's wedding is two more days away; I have to tell her before she marries this idiot…"

She put her hand on Scarlet's shoulder. "I'm sure you will."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Scarlet went to answer it. It was Storm. "Hey, Scarlet, Lloyd told me to give this to you." He handed her a piece of folded paper.

Scarlet took the paper. "Thanks," she mumbled, closing the door, he stuck his foot between the gap like how Sheen did and stopped her. "What is it, Storm?" she looked up, annoyed.

"Nothing, it's just that…I'm here if you need me to cry on, 'k?" he put on a fake smile.

"Okay, why would I need to cry?"

He examined her like he was sorry about something before sighing and shaking his head. "Never mind," he said, turning around and leaving.

"What's that?" Nya asked as Scarlet sat on the bed.

"Oh, uh, Storm said Lloyd sent it."

Nya squealed. "Well don't keep me in suspense! Open it! I bet it's a love letter!"

"You mean those sappy things the guy sends a girl in those movies?"

"Yeah, Jay sends me one like every week; it's so cool to get one!"

Scarlet rolled her eyes, but she was still slightly excited. She slowly unfolded the paper and read over the words.

'I'm not doing this to hurt you, but I don't love you anymore, I'm sorry, but I want to break up.

-Lloyd'.

Her heart sank as she sped over the words over and over, making sure her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. She started to cry and she fell back onto her pillow, letting the paper go. "Scarlet, what's wrong? What does it say?" Nya asked, seeing the girl's tears.

Scarlet pointed down to the paper and Nya picked it up to read. "What the hell?" she mumbled. "This isn't right, Lloyd loves you; this has to be some messed up prank."

"Nya…Can I just please be alone?"

Nya looked at the crying ninja before she nodded. "Alright, but I'm getting to the bottom of this, something isn't right."

Scarlet grabbed the other girl's arm. "Don't,"

"But-"

"Don't Nya," she said a bit louder. "Just please leave this alone, whatever reasons Lloyd has, I have to deal with it."

Nya nodded again and stood. "Okay," she left the room and Scarlet sobbed a little louder, but kept herself under control.

"Hello, Scarlet," a voice startled the girl.

She sat up and gasped. There, in her bedroom was Lord Garmadon! She grabbed her Bo staff, but he knocked it out of her hand and grabbed her neck. "There's no need for fighting."

Back on the Bounty…

"Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon!" Nya yelled, kicking the door of the bedroom that the ninja shared wide open.

"Uh…" Lloyd looked up from his comic. "Hey, Nya, I thought you were supposed to be with Scarlet."

"You mean the girl whose crying with a broken heart because of you?!"

"Um…I-I…Guess so?"

The other ninja walked in to see what was going on. "What's wrong with you?! Lloyd, she loves you! I mean seriously, who are you to dump Scarlet?! And the least you could've done was say it to her face!" Nya screeched.

Lloyd cocked an eyebrow. "Why would I dump Scarlet?"

Now it was Nya's turn to cock an eyebrow. "You dumped her, Storm gave her a letter saying that you wanted to break up, it had your signature and everything."

Zane stepped forward. "I think Storm has tricked Scarlet."

Lloyd jumped up. "What?!" he thought for a moment. "We have to go see her."

With Scarlet and Lord Garmadon…

Garmadon squeezed Scarlet's neck tightly. "Let m-me go…" she managed to breathe.

"I will once you give me your word you won't scream, otherwise I will murder you."

She stopped squirming and he dropped her to the floor. "What do you want with me?" she coughed, holding her throat gently.

"My son has apparently changed his view of you."

"Yeah, what does that do with you ambushing me like this?"

Garmadon smile made her shake. "I am in need of a…assistant."

"What do you mean assistant?"

"You have worked with the ninja, you know their weaknesses."

Scarlet examined the dark lord before realizing what he was getting at. "You mean you want an assassin." He nodded. "Well, there's no way I'm doing that."

"It may convince my son to love you again, once he realizes the other ninja are destroyed, he will have no choice to join me. And if you are by my side as well…"

He knew that dangling his son in front of her face would work. His plan was working, he could tell by how she looked down, thinking. "Are sure Lloyd will love me again?" he nodded once again. She sighed deeply as she stood. "Fine, but I still don't like you."

"You don't have to." He smirked. "NinjaGO!" he spun around Scarlet in his pitch black tornado and once he stopped, she looked down at her outfit with wide eyes.

Scarlet was in a royal blue bustier top which low sleeve circled around only of her arms as if a dragon were circling round her arm, black tights, black combat boots, black fish net fingerless gloves, a royal blue mask with which only covered the lower half of her face and her hair was no longer caramel, it was pitch black and it no longer was in a braid, it fell down onto her shoulders. Her eyes weren't blue anymore, they were crimson. "Is this really my uniform, or are you just an old perve?" she said as she held her Bo staff in her hand.

"Silence and come with me." He ordered, opening her window. The two climbed out of the window and reached the ground below. "Get onto my back." He ordered once again.

"What?"

"Just do it," he sighed, annoyed with his assistant already.

Scarlet looked back at her house, secretly hoping someone would step out and stop her. But, she wanted Lloyd to love her…She sighed and climbed onto her boyfriend-ex-boyfriend's father's back and the dark lord began to run swiftly, travelling by the shadows.

With Lloyd and the others…

Lloyd rang the doorbell repeatedly and an annoyed Vince Maxx answered the door. "What is it with you ninja? It's the middle of the night."

"Mr. Maxx, I need to see Scarlet." Lloyd said quickly, trying to run inside, but the man blocked his way.

"No, no, no, tell me this…a boy in my daughter's bedroom in the middle of the night…What does that sound like to you?"

Lloyd quickly got annoyed as his face turned red. "Let me pass!"

"No, you can see her tomorrow morning."

Lloyd pushed Scarlet's father out of the way before stomping his way to Scarlet's bedroom door. He knocked harshly on it. "Scarlet! Open up, whatever Storm told you, he was lying!" when there was no answer, he opened the door to find her room empty.

The other ninja and Nya had caught up with Lloyd and saw the empty room as well. "Where is she?" Nya asked.

"Look!" Jay pointed to her open bedroom window.

Everyone ran to the window and looked out it. "Hey, Scarlet-" Haden walked into the room but stopped when she saw the ninja and samurai all in her little sister's room, "Hey, guys, where's Scarlet? I wanna' know if she's seen Storm."

"You don't know where Storm is?" Lloyd asked.

Haden shook her head and Lloyd bowed his head trying to find out why Storm would take Scarlet…Yet, she was a ninja, she could easily fight him off, right? Unless she went with him willingly…No, she wouldn't do that, would she? "God, Scarlet where are you?" he mumbled.
