The Weakest Link
In Ninjago, at the warehouse Lloyd and his group first hid, the remainder of the resistance, Lloyd, Nya, and Dareth, with Rattalia and Izzy with them, tied Harumi up in a chair as she tried to break free before she gave a small laugh. "Oh, how the tables have turned." Harumi mocked with a smirk.
"Yeah, your plan worked. We got Harumi." Dareth said with a smile. "Now what do we do?"
"What if we use her for trade?" Nya suggested. "Our friends in the Kryptarium Prison, for her."
"How does that make you feel, Lloyd?" Harumi taunted with a smirk as they turned to her. "That your father cares for me, more than his own son."
"My father cares for no one, only his thirst for more power." Lloyd said with a glare. "He won't free our friends. We'll hold onto her, until she's valuable to us." He said to the others.
"My Generals have been here before." Harumi pointed out. "It's only a matter of time until they find me."
"I hate to admit it, but she's right." Dareth said as he approached Lloyd. "I hope you have an Ace up your sleeves because we're about to fold, but don't tell me right now I think she can hear us."
"What wasssss your firssssst clue?" Izzy asked dully.
"You sure you don't want ussss to hold Harumi in our village, Lloyd?" Rattalia asked. "It'sssss underground and hard to find."
"No. Then we're not risking your people getting harmed." Lloyd said to Rattalia. "So for now, staying above ground will do."
Skylor, Seliel and Mystake then came in. "We found something. In her belongings." Skylor said to them.
"I think you need to see this." Mystake said to them as they turned to Harumi, who still struggles to break free.
"Go, I will keep watch over her." Nya said to them as Dareth, Rattalia, Izzy, and Lloyd exited.
"What is it?" Lloyd asked.
"The Oni Mask of Hatred." Mystake said as Skylor held up the mask, which shocked them.
"If your Elemental Power doesn't return, this could certainly help." Skylor said to them.
"If an Ace is what you're looking for, that's a pair of them." Dareth noted as Lloyd grabbed the mask.
"Wait, isn't that dangerous?" Seliel questioned. "I mean, this is the Mask of Hatred, it has dark magic, and a complete opposite for Lloyd's standards."
"And from how Lord Garmadon issss, giving the massssk to Lloyd doesn't sssseem like a good idea." Rattalia said in agreement.
"Seliel and Rattalia are correct." Mystake said. "Wield it only at your own peril.' She wisely said.
"What do you want to do?" Skylor asked Lloyd, knowing this is his choice.
Lloyd looked at the mask for a bit with a firm look before he turned around and went back inside the hideout with the others following behind before throwing the Oni Mask in front of Harumi.
"My mask! You're going to steal it?" Harumi accused.
"Save the performance." Lloyd said with a glare. "I'm not going to use it. It's a trap." He turned back to the others. "The only reason someone as smart as her was captured, is because she wanted to be."
"Oh, very perceptive, Lloyd." Harumi said with a smirk. "You're smarter than you let on. If I can't trick you, perhaps I can deliver a message. Emperor Garmadon will destroy you, and you can do nothing to stop it, because you can never change." She said as Lloyd looked away while trying to keep a strong look. "As much as you want to, you don't have it in you to hurt your dear poppy."
"I am really sssstarting to hate thisssss bitch." Izzy hissed in anger.
"Join the club Izzy." Seliel said with a look.
"You don't know Lloyd." Dareth said to Harumi.
"Don't I?" Harumi questioned with a smirk. "Let me ask. How do you see this ending? You can't! Because there is no happy ending. Not even for your dear Melissa. Once green, always green." He said as Lloyd just glared at her before marching away as Harumi gave an amusing laugh as the others glared at her. "That's right. Walk away and burst into tears."
"Oh, I'm not walking away in tears, I just don't want to see what you look like scared." Lloyd said with a natural look.
"What?" Harumi said in confusion.
"Izzy?" Lloyd asked.
"On it." Izzy said as she went up to Harumi and spit on her with her Venomari spit.
"Ugh! Hey!" Harumi called as her eyes then glowed green as she then saw the Great Devourer's face and hissing sounds as she panicked. "N-No. It can't be. N-No! Not you!" She cried out in fear. "Get away! Get away!" She then fell backwards, kicking the air in fear.
"Have fun with your nightmaressss, bitch." Izzy said with a smirk before turning around and saw the others looking at her in shock that she did that. "What? It was Lloyd's idea and she sssseriously had it coming."
"I gotta be honest, Izzy has a point." Seliel said with a shrug. "I mean, what are we supposed to do, keep her tied up and talk to us all day?"
"Point taken." Nya said with a shrug. "But why did you agree to that idea, Lloyd?"
"Just to make her not think of her escape for some time while I go think of something myself." Lloyd said in thought as he walked off to the door. "I'll be on lookout." He said as the others watched him go.
Meanwhile in the First Realm, the Dragon Hunters are following the tracer Jet-Jack placed in one of the Ninja's vehicles before it gave off a beep as they then came to a stop as they were at the Oni Land border.
Iron Baron then came out of his vehicle as he looked ahead while No-Legs poke out. "Why are we stopping?" No-Legs asked.
"I don't know." Iron Baron said as he adjusted his prosthetic hook.
"Didn't Jet-Jack place a beacon on the Ninja?" No-Legs asked as Iron Baron came towards Jet-Jack.
"Why did we stop?" Iron Baron asked.
"They've crossed into Oni territory." Jet-Jack said as Iron Baron looked into the Oni Territory. "You said not to cross that line."
"But I see they did." Iron Baron said with a look. while eyeing the line.
"I'll fight every last Oni if I have to." Jet-Jack declared. "But only on your command." She added as the other Hunters nodded in determination as Iron Baron looked at them before looking at the line.
"Heavy Metal betrayed me." Iron Baron hissed. "And no one betrays me. We cross the line!" He declared as he walked back to his vehicle.
"I hoped he would say that." Jet-Jack said with a smirk as the Hunters slowly crossed the Oni line while making their way to the Ninja.
With the Ninja, they were sleeping by the campfire after a night's sleep while Hikari and Kurai slept around them for cover to keep the fire warm for the night before Faith then put out the fire with her feet.
"The sun is up, we must go." Faith said as she took the rag blanket from Jay.
"Hey, whatever happened to breakfast being the most important part of the day?" Jay complained tiredly as Faith went up to the Dragon Sword as the others got up.
"We're getting closer to the Firstbourne's nest." Faith said to them. "We'll eat when the son of the First Spinjitzu Master has the Dragon Armor, and we are all in Ninjigo." She said as she put their supplies in one of the two remaining vehicles.
"It's Ninjago." Zane corrected. "It's really not that hard to pronounce."
"Oh, to be back home, in a real bed." Kai said with a smile.
"Mmm, with real food." Jay said with a smile.
"And cake." Cole said with a fond smile. "Why did I ever give up cake?"
Jay then snorted in amusement. "Because your body is a temple." He said.
"What is this 'cake'?" Faith asked in confusion.
"Wait, you don't have sweets or cake here?" Melissa questioned with a brow.
"What would you expect to find in this wasteland?" Faith said while gesturing to the wasteland around them.
"Point taken." Melissa said.
"Imagine all that is good." Cole started out with a smile as the others smiled fondly at the thought of cake. "Baked until it's warm and moist. Then add a sweet, sugary frosting. That's cake."
"You sound excited." Faith said naturally. "But are you ready for what lies ahead?"
"You explained that the Firstbourne is awaiting the return of the First Spinjitzu Master." Zane said as he stood up. "Being reunited with his son would be a good thing."
"And what if it is not?" Faith questioned. "Coming face to face with a dragon is one thing, but facing the mother of all dragons is a test you cannot fail." She then picks up her chain weapon. "Our chains are our only means of surviving in this realm. We live and die by these iron bonds and our mastery of these tools." She added as she adjusted her weapon. "Let me see you chain that rock." She said as she gave her weapon to Kai while gesturing to a loose rock in a bit distance. "Don't worry. It will not move. It should be easy."
"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Kai said with a smirk as he aimed the chain weapon at the rock. "Watch and learn." He then fired the chain, but he was flung back to a wall as the chain wrapped around Cole, knocking him down.
"Hahahaha! At least you got the Master of Rock!" Jay laughed while Melissa giggled.
"Well it's harder than it looks!" Kai defended as he rubbed his head while Melissa helped Cole out of the chain.
"Perhaps we should work on this." Faith muttered.
"Hey, Faith, before we get started, how about I go salvage some food." Melissa suggested. "To be honest, would you Hunters go hungry to train? Plus, we'll have to deal with Jay and Cole's complaints of being hungry the whole time." She added.
"Hey!" Cole and Jay said, insulted by that comment.
Faith thought for a moment, while remembering how Kai and Jay were complaining about water, she does not have to go through that again. "Good idea. We'll eat, then train." She said as Melissa nodded.
"I'll go see if there's any more of those fruit vegetable thingies close by." Melissa said as she turned to the Yin-Yang Dragon. "Hikari, Kurai, roar if something is coming." She instructed as the two headed dragon gave a roar in response. "Good. See you guys in a bit." She said as she walked off.
"Huh, Melissa is in a surprisingly good mood." Kai commented.
"Somehow, I don't think that's the case." Cole said as he watched Melissa walk off.
With Melissa, she entered a field not far from the others as she was harvesting something edible, as she picked up a fruit she saw something fell out of her pocket, when she saw what it was she saw that it was her picture of herself and Lloyd.
Melissa frowned as she kneeled down and picked up the picture as she gave a sad look. "I'm sorry for not listening to you, Lloyd. I should've been a better girlfriend." She said to herself in guilt.
Meanwhile in Ninjago, Lloyd walked a bit from the warehouse to think as he had his head down while remembering what Harumi said of no happy endings for his loved ones, or Melissa as he kept walking until he saw a nearby river not too far from where Harumi is being held as he gave a sad look.
"I should've tried harder to assure you that you were the only one I wanted, Melissa." Lloyd said with a frown. "But I let trying to stop the Sons of Garmadon get in the way. I should've been a better boyfriend." He said to himself in guilt as Lloyd walked up to the river while feeling the urge of what Melissa would do when she's alone or down.
Lloyd:
I knew your favorite song
I hear it everyday
Whoever made your smile
Made it to get in my way
Lloyd then kneeled down on the pond as he looked at his reflection as he saw Melissa in his place.
And everytime you laugh
You make that little sound
It's just the hardest thing
To love you but not know how
I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me
Lloyd then placed his hand into the river, where Melissa's reflection did the same as if the two were touching before the Melissa reflection then grabbed Lloyd and pulled him down as the two began to sing and dance in some sort of void before they hugged.
Lloyd and Melissa:
What good are words when they always just get in our way
And it hurts the most just to know that you don't feel the same
The same
Back in reality, both Melissa and Lloyd were singing their songs together in separate Realms, as if they felt each other's presence while having sad expressions at how far apart they are.
I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me
I hate that you're perfect
You're perfect for me
Lloyd looked at his reflection and saw only himself in the river as he closed his eyes to keep his tears from falling before he recollected himself and gave a determined look as he got up and walked off.
Back in the First Realm, Melissa returned with some food as she placed them down, the others then noticed her expression as they had a hunch. "Let me guess, you were singing your feelings out, Melissa?" Cole guessed.
"It didn't feel like I was singing alone." Melissa said as she looked up into the sky.
"What makes you say that? Did you see baby dragons?" Jay asked.
"I believe she is referring to the fact that even though he is not here, Melissa feels Lloyd is with her." Zane said to them. "But it is said that soulmates are always connected to each other, even when they are not close by."
"I Wouldn't call us, 'soulmates'." Melissa said with a down look, "I sure as hell haven't been acting like one."
"Are you sure about that?" Kai asked.
"Yeah, I mean Lloyd and I did a lot over the years, from growing up together, to being Ninjas, to all sorts of things." Melissa said to them. "But I don't think we're soulmates, because if we were, I don't think we would miss each other so much after… what happened." She said sadly.
"Well, how do you feel?" Cole asked.
"I just don't feel like myself, I feel… incomplete and… Alone." Melissa said, looking away.
"Hey, I know how that feels," Jay spoke up walking forward, "This is probably the longest I've ever been away from Nya. It doesn't feel… natural without her here."
"Yeah, and I have to admit, it's weird being away from Skylor this long." Kai said with a frown.
"And it doesn't feel right to not have Pixal by my side either." Zane said solemnly.
"I miss cake, but what I really miss right now, is Seliel." Cole said with his head.
Melissa's eyes widened up hearing this and she just now realized, "Oh shit. Guys, I, I'm so sorry." Melissa said walking up to them, "I've been so focused on how I screwed my boyfriend over, I completely forgot that your girlfriends are in trouble too."
"Hey, it's cool, Melissa." Kai said to her. "We all have our way of coping. And you and Lloyd have been a couple longer after Jay and my sis, it's completely understandable you took it hard the most, especially since it was Harumi who fucked with your relationship."
"But the point is Melissa, we all miss our girlfriends and taking what has happened to all of us pretty hard, but you, you have taken it harder than us." Cole told her.
"You want to see Lloyd again, you feel alone and incomplete without him by your side, and you feel guilty for breaking up with him and want to take it back." Jay listed down. "If that doesn't sound like you two are soulmates then I don't know what is."
Melissa looked at them for a moment as she took her friends' words in as she gave a small smile from those. "Yeah, you're right." She said as they smiled.
"Now that we all have food and this touching moment, can we get started on your training?" Faith questioned while gesturing to the chain rifle.
"Way to ruin the moment, Faith." Kai said with a dull look.
A bit later, each Ninja was holding chain weapons while they all eyed the rock. "The first to wrap their chain around that rock wins." Kai challenged as they all aimed their weapons at the rock, but they missed the rock.
Zane aimed his as he calculated his angel and fired, which his chain wrapped around the rock perfectly which surprised them all. "Did I win?" He asked.
They all looked at each other in shock before turning back to Zane. "Uhh, I didn't know you were competing." Kai said with a sheepish smile.
"Uhh yeah, I thought you were the judge." Jay said sheepishly as well.
"Oh, very well." Zane said with a smile as he retracted his chain and walked off to where Wu and Faith were.
"Wow, you guys are sore losers." Melissa joked with a smirk. "Just like how I basically beat your high score again, Kai."
"I thought we agreed to never speak of it again!" Kai argued with a look.
"Who's we? I didn't sign any contract." Melissa said with a smirk as the others laughed while Kai groaned in annoyance.
The Ninja kept trying to work on their chains to try and wrap the rock before Kai managed to get his in. "Master of Fire is now Master of-" Kai bragged as he tried to retract his weapon, but the chain pulled him towards the rock as he screamed and hit the boulder as the others cringe from impact.
"You need to learn too, Son of the First Spinjitzu Master." Faith said as Zane gave her his weapon as she gave it to Wu. "We are only as strong as our weakest link." She said while Wu was inspecting the weapon.
"Go on, Master. Give it a try." Cole insisted as Wu then aimed the weapon and fired, but it only came by an inch as the hook dangled, which made the others chuckle at his embarrassment.
"Oh, wow. That was sad to watch." Melissa muttered with a small smile.
"And we don't stop until everyone can do it." Faith said with a serious look.
Over time, the Ninja, minus Zane and Faith, have been practicing non-stop on practicing their chain weapons, while Wu was having the most difficult time as he either missed or knocked down.
"Together." Faith said as the Ninja then fired their chains and swung their weapons, making the hooks wrap around the rock perfectly.
Wu closed his eyes as he fired his weapon, but hardly got close to the rock. "Not good enough." Faith said as Wu retracted the chain, but the hook slapped him, which made him look frustrated before he tossed his weapon down as he walked away in shame.
"Let me handle this." Kai said as he walked up to Wu, who was sitting in shame. "You know what you need? Confidence." He said with a smirk.
"You mean cocky, like you?" Wu asked.
"No, not cocky!" Kai said in offense before he noticed the looks the others were giving him as he gave a sheepish chuckle. "Confidence. You know, the feeling that you can do anything if you put your mind to it." He then kneeled down to Wu. "There was a time I didn't think I could be a Ninja. But you pushed me to be better. And now I'm pushing you." He said with a smirk as he nudged Wu. "Huh? Huh? Haha." He chuckled before he offered the chain gun. "Look, I know you can do it, but what matters most is what you think." He said to him,
"Again." Faith said as the Ninja fired the chains again as it wrapped around the rock, only for another chain to wrap around it as well as they turned and saw that it was Wu who did it while giving a determined smirk as the others smiled.
But then they heard roaring, and it wasn't Hikari and Kurai, they looked up and saw the Lightning Dragon Cole and Wu first faced flying by. "Now let's see if the son of the Spinjitzu Master can ride a dragon." Faith declared with a determined look.
The Ninja got on their vehicles while Melissa was riding Hikari and Kurai as they got close to the Lightning Dragon, who sniffed the air. "She smells your Oni blood. This will not be easy." Faith said to them. "I'll keep her close to the ground." She said as she got in front of the Lightning Dragon and kept it low.
Hikari and Kurai gave growls, clearly showing they were not comfortable with this. "I know you're uncomfortable with this, frankly I am too, but I promise that we'll release him immediately after we help Wu fly him, okay?" Melissa said as Hikari and Kurai gave a slight groan. "I'll take those as a maybe." She said with a shrug.
"Alright, guys! We need to slow the dragon down and get Wu on!" Kai declared to the others as Zane aimed his chain and fired at the Lightning Dragon's neck, which he laughed as the Lightning Dragon then sent a charge through the chains and hit Zane, shocking him as the chains got loose.
"Aim for her wings! Stay away from her jaw! Work together!" Faith instructed as the other Ninjas got closer and fired their chains and wrapped them around the Lightning Dragon, catching it as it kept moving while Wu eyed it. "Don't think." She said to him,
"You can do it." Kai encouraged as Wu carefully got on the wing.
"Ride it, son of the Spinjitzu Master!" Faith called out to him.
Wu then climbed on the chains and when he was close enough he got on the Lightning Dragon's leg before climbing on her back and tried to keep his balance. "I… I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" Wu cheered as the others did.
The Ninja cheered. "Nice one, Wu!" Cole cheered.
"Great job!" Melissa cheered while Faith gave a proud smile at Wu.
But then, the Lightning Dragon roared as she took to the air and broke free from the chains while moving around while trying to shake Wu off, who held onto her neck as the Lightning Dragon sent charges around while Wu grunted as he struggled to hang on before he fell off, which made him scream.
"Wu!" Cole shouted as Faith then rode below and caught Wu in her vehicle as she smirked as the Lightning Dragon flew off to the distance while the Ninja stopped their vehicles as Faith and Wu came to them.
"I did it. I did it!" Wu cheered with a smile while Faith gave a proud one.
"You may not be ready to face Firstbourne, but you are starting to look like a Dragon Rider like your friend Melissa." Faith said with a proud tone.
"You did good, Master Wu, you did good." Melissa said with a smile.
Back in Ninjago, Lloyd, who was back in his Green Gi, was looking at Borg's Tower where the Colossus was keeping guard as the others came up behind him, while Seliel, Nya, and Skylor were back in their suits.
"Lloyd, you're wearing green again." Nya commented.
"Harumi gave me a lot to think about." Lloyd said to them. "About how this will end." He said as he kept staring off.
"And?" Skylor asked.
"Harumi said that I was unable to change, but you said to defeat my father I have to change." Lloyd said to Skylor as he showed a determined look. "Well I'm ready."
"Ready for what?" Dareth asked.
"I have to be ready to accept… I may never get my power back." Lloyd said in acceptance.
"Whoa, dude." Seliel muttered.
"Lloyd…" Nya tried to say in sympathy.
"It's okay. I'm not afraid." Lloyd assured with a smile. "Power is never lost. It's only giving away if you don't think you have any. You also said that." She said to Mystake, who gave a giggle.
"Wise words. I should talk more often." Mystake joked as they kept looking out.
"Lloyd, as much as I like to keep your spirit up, but if you go after your father now…" Seliel tried to say as she trailed off. "Well, you barely survived with your powers. And we've seen what it can do. We barely manage to survive the last time we faced that giant walking statue. " She said while gesturing to the Colossus in front of Borg's Tower.
"We don't need to cower from it, when we can control it." Lloyd said.
"But that thing isssss controlled by your father'sssss power." Rattalia reminded him. "How are we ssssupose to control that giant monsssster if it's under Garmadon's control?"
"The Snake Queen has a point." Dareth said in agreement. "And last I checked, the only other one who had darkness is Melissa, and uh, she's not here to use that power."
"Power that I can absorb." Skylor said as an idea came to her head, which Lloyd nodded before Skylor frowned again. "But I can only borrow Garmadon's power if I touch him. Just how am I supposed to get close enough without him knowing our plan?"
"Sssskylor has a point, how are we gonna get her closssse to Garmadon?" Izzy asked.
"She'll be a prisoner." Lloyd said with a smile before turning to Mystake. "And Harumi will take you to him."
"What are you getting at, Lloyd?" Seliel asked with a brow.
"If Mystake can turn into a rat, can she turn into a mole?" Lloyd asked with a smirk.
"But how would that help-" Dareth tried to ask before he realized what Lloyd meant. "Oh, she's gonna be Harumi, heh, I love it when a plan comes together in my head."
"Who needs an army, when you have an army of one." Nya said as they looked over Ninjago City as they now had a plan to take Garmadon down.
Back in the warehouse, Harumi was still struggling to break free, but she was relieved that the Venomari spit had worn off as she just sat there. "I should've known better than to piss off a Venomari." Harumi muttered with a look. "I completely forgot about what the Serpentine's abilities can do."
"Harumi…" Lloyd's voice spoke up, which made Harumi look up and saw him and the rest of the resistance coming in with smirks. "I would like to introduce you to… Harumi." He said as Dareth opened the door, which revealed to be Mystake in Harumi's form.
"Look at that, it'sssss like looking in a mirror." Rattalia quipped with a smirk.
Harumi growled as she struggled to break free some more. "You think you can pass as me?! Nothing is beneath you." She snarled
"You think you can pass as me? Nothing is beneath you." Mystake said, while her form is different, her voice remained the same.
"Ah… I think your voice may give you away." Nya said with a cringe.
"No offense Mystake, but you're an Oni who can change forms, yet you can't change voices?" Seliel questioned with a brow.
Mystake coughed a bit to clear her throat. "What if, it will sound more convincing…" She then changed her voice a bit. "If I talk like this." She finished as she sounded just like Harumi.
"Hey, that's pretty good." Dareth complimented.
"Definitely ssssee a resssemblance." Izzy said with a nod. "And very convincing."
"You'll never get away with it! My father will-" Harumi was cut off when Ratallia slapped her repeatedly across the face with her tail.
"How about you be quiet, Quiet One." Rattalia said with a frown as she gagged Harumi and turned her chair around. "It'ssss time for you to face the corner." She added as Harumi grunted while groaning in her gag as she struggled some more. "For a Quiet One, she'ssss pretty loud and doessssn't know when to shut the fuck up."
"Tell me about it." Seliel said in agreement.
"Remember, we just need to get Skylor close enough so she can touch my father." Lloyd told them. "And once she can absorb his power to control the Colossus, get out of there." He told them as Skylor and Mystake nodded.
"You sure you're okay staying back?" Skylor asked Lloyd as Mystake tied her hands behind her back.
"I'm only gonna be okay when all of this is over." Lloyd said before Mystake and Skylor left the hideout.
"For the first time I feel like this could work." Dareth said with a smile.
"Me too, but don't jinx it." Lloyd told him.
Back in the First Realm, the Ninja stopped again as they saw a mountain peak while Faith was looking at the map. "To get to the Dragon Armor, we need first to get past this mountain." Faith said while gesturing to the mountain in front of them. But then they heard a helicopter whirling as they turned and looked in shock when they saw the Hunter copter. "We were followed!"
"Don't these bastards know when to give up?" Melissa said in annoyance. "Let's go!" She called as the Ninja got on their vehicles while Melissa rode Hikari and Kurai and took off as the Dragon Hunters were behind them.
"I want Heavy Metal alive!" Iron Barony shouted. "As for the rest, I want their heads!"
Jet-Jack took to the air and flew after the Ninja while the Hunters followed behind.
"We'll lose them in there!" Wu said, pointing at a cave up ahead.
"Looks like his instincts kicked in." Jay said as they then entered the cave while Melissa flew over it, while the Hunters followed, except for the copter as it then flew around.
The Ninja in the cave drove through the tunnel before Jet-Jack flew next to Faith and Wu. "You think you can outrun us?!" Jet-Jack called before she saw Faith's face. "Heavy Metal? You're a girl… like me?"
"Not like you, better!" Faith called as she drove ahead as Jet-Jack hit a pillar, which made her groan as she then turned back to Iron Baron.
"You allowed her to be your number two?" Jet-Jack questioned him. "Why not me?!"
"How about this? First to capture her gets the position." Iron Baron said to her with a look. "Now go!" He ordered as Jet-Jack flew after the Ninja.
"Did you hear that, Muzzle?" No-Legs asked with a smirk to his partner. "I could be his number two!" He cheered as they continued to chase through the tunnel as the cave rumbled and some boulders fell.
"Bad instincts, Wu! You have very bad instincts!" Jay shouted in panic.
"Hold on!" Cole called out as the three avoided the rumble as Iron Baron then ram through it as they continue to chase while the Hunters are beside them as Iron Baron jumps on Faith's jet and holds on. Wu tried to attack, but Iron Baron shot his hook, which Wu avoided but he fell over as Faith quickly caught him.
Iron Baron then retracted his hook and took Faith's sword. "Who wields the Dragon Blade now, Heavy Metal?" He taunted with a smirk.
"It's Faith!" Faith shouted as the two briefly wrestled for the blade as Iron Baron then tried to jab it on her, which Faith avoided before he stabbed the controls, sparking them up as Faith quickly got off as she reached out to Wu. "I am not going to lose the son of the First Spinjitzu Master yet!" She called as she then pulled Wu up.
"Son of the First Spinjitzu Master?" Iron Baron questioned in shock as he looked at Wu and Faith before pulling the Dragon Blade out of the controls and was about to go after them, but Faith sped up her speeder and, which made Iron Baron flung back and held onto the rear as Faith and Wu jumped on Jay's speeder.
One of the Hunters drove close to Iron Baron, catching him just as Faith's speeder crashed into a pillar as they continued forward.
"Wu, I take it back, you're right. There's a way out!" Jay called as they saw a light at the end of the tunnel. "Hold on!" He called as he sped out of the cave, as did the Hunters as Melissa, Hikari and Kurai flew over them as the copter came to them as Iron Baron signaled it close while he hopped onto the copter.
"We'll make Heavy Metal pay sir!" The pilot told him.
"Forget Heavy Metal!" Iron Baron said, surprising the pilot. "Get me the boy!"
The Ninja kept going before turning back to the Hunter. "We'll never outrun them!" Faith called out. "We need to stop the Dieselnaut!"
"How about we take it?" Melissa suggested as she brought out her chain gun. "She taught us how to thread iron? Didn't she, boys?" She asked them with a smirk. "Let's work together!" She called as she lowered Hikari and Kurai down as the Ninja got close to the Dieselnaut as they then fired their chains on the side of the Hunter vehicle, but was having trouble the first couple of times.
Kai manages to get his to attach. "Awesome!" Kai cheered with a smirk as he held firm on his weapon.
"Just like the dragon!" Faith told Wu about their lesson.
"Remember, confidence." Kai reminded him as Wu nodded as he jumped on the chains and balanced towards the Dieselnaut.
"They think they can take my rig?!" Iron Baron questioned in rage as Wu lost balance and held onto the chain as he avoided the rocks, which the others got worried before Wu then held onto the chain and crawled onto the Dieselnaut as he took a breath and climb onto it as he saw Muzzle, who noticed him as No-Legs tried to attack, but Wu avoided and kicked him off as he went to Muzzle and punch him out of the vehicle as the two hunters were left behind by the others.
Wu then to the driver, Jackpot. "Get out!" He ordered.
"Make me, kid!" The driver said as he was about to fight Wu, but then a chain wrapped around him which pulled him off the Dieselnaut and was hanging over by Kai's chains.
"It's all yours!" Kai shouted as Wu nodded as he took the driver seat as Faith and the rest of the Ninja got on while Melissa flew close.
"Haha! We should teach him how to drive next." Jay joked with a smile as he and Faith got on.
"Uh oh!" Cole called as he looked above at the Hunters getting close as he jumped onto the chain cannon as he used it to knock one of the Hunters back, which Faith and the others noticed.
"Cole!" Jay cheered.
"Yes!" Kai cheered.
"Nice shot!" Melissa cheered with a smile as Cole aimed the cannon at the copter.
"Now I've got you." Cole said as Iron Baron looked in horror as Cole fired it at the rear rotor, causing the copter to lose control as Iron Baron screamed in panic while the Ninja cheered.
"Oh yeah! Ninja one, Hunter Lame-o's, Zero!" Melissa cheered with a laugh.
But then, chains were latched onto the back of the Dieselnaut. "Uh-oh!" Cole shouted.
"Spoke too soon there, Melissa." Zane commented.
"I can see that!" Melissa called out as Iron Baron was on one of the buggies behind them.
"I'll take it from here!" Kai said to Wu, who nodded while Faith ran to the back as she began to loosen up the chains, but then Jet-Jack came up from behind.
"Finally, I have you." Jet-Jack said as she fired her chain gun, catching Faith as she screamed before she was taken airborne while Jet-Jack flew to the front while Faith tried to get free from the chains as Wu saw this and was about to help.
"Baron doesn't know where the Armor is! But you do!" Faith called to Wu. "Go!"
"I won't leave you! I have to have Faith!" Wu called out. "I need you!"
"You need the Dragon Armor!" Faith called as she grabbed a bolt and loosen just as she was taken up.
"No!" Wu called as the back part of the Dieselanut came off as the driver part took off, going faster without the extra weight.
"No!" Iron Baron screamed as the Ninja took off with Melissa, Hikari and Kurai beside the driver part as they looked back while they may have escaped, but they lost Faith.
Back in Ninjago, Dareth was keeping watch of Harumi while he listened to a familiar music on his headphones while he played an air guitar as Harumi managed to get her gagged off before she noticed Dareth as she gave an idea.
"You! Brown Ninja!" Harumi shouted, but Dareth was listening to the music so loud, he could hardly hear her. "Listen to me, you silly Master of Dunce!" She called before she moved around, making clunking sounds with her chair before Dareth noticed this.
"Hey, you're not supposed to have your gag off." Dareth said with a look as he approached her.
"You want power, I know how to get it for you." Harumi said to him, having a feeling that Dareth feels left out when having no powers.
"Haha. I'm done drinking that juice." Dareth said to him, already went through that with Mystake.
"You don't need to drink anything, my Emperor can simply give it to you." Harumi said with a smirk.
"He can give power?" Dareth asked in shock. "Like what kind?"
"Any power you desire." Harumi answered with a sinister smirk.
"How about the power to zip your face." Dareth said with a frown. "'Cause I ain't falling for it." He added as he was about to gag on Harumi, but then Harumi lifted her chair up and put the legs on his foot, which made him give a painful look. "Yow!"
Lloyd was still on the roof, as it was night time, as he kept watching the Colossus and Borg's Tower while Harumi, Nya, Rattalia, Seliel, and Izzy went out on patrol. "Lloyd! Help! Lloyd!" Dareth's voice yelled out, which got Lloyd's attention as he raced down and saw Harumi was gone while Dareth was the one tied up. "I know, this looks pretty bad. I take full responsibility." He said in guilt.
"Dareth… Where is she?" Lloyd asked in worry, wondering where Harumi was while Dareth gave a worried look himself.
At Borg's Tower, Mystake, still disguised as Harumi, and Skylor walked up the stairs of the Borg Tower entrance as Killow was standing guard. "Ah, there you are. I was starting to get worried." Killow said with a smirk. "It appears our little stunt did the trick."
"I couldn't get Lloyd, but I got the next best thing." Mystake said as she entered the building with Skylor as Killow watched with a smirk with his arms crossed.
At the top in the Throne Room, Ultra Violet and Garmadon were there as 'Harumi' came in and placed Skylor on her knees. "My Emperor. I present you to Skylor. An Elemental Master." 'Harumi' presented.
Garmadon stood up and marched towards Skylor with a glare. "No matter what you do to me, the Resistance will fight on." Skylor said with a glare.
"Careful, my dark excellence." Ultra Violet spoke up. "Harumi forgot to add she has the power to absorb. Don't get too close." She advised Garmadon as he stepped back.
"Absorb?" Garmadon questioned, not remembering about Skylor and her powers.
"He is well aware of her powers, but your insubordination doesn't go unnoticed, Ultra Violet." 'Harumi' told her firmly.
"Curious you didn't tell me that." Garmadon said suspiciously as he circled 'Harumi'. "For my advisor to leave that out is ill-advised."
"My lord, I have proved my allegiance time and time again." 'Harumi' said to him. "For you to doubt my abilities-"
"Is what?" Harumi's voice spoke up, which surprised everyone and shock Mystake and Skylor as they turn and saw the real Harumi with Killow, who slammed his fists together. "Two-faced?" She questioned with a look, as Mystake and Skylor realized that their plan just got a whole lot more complicated.
A/N: And that was The Weakest Link, and The Ninja may have gotten away from the Hunters, but Faith wasn't so lucky. And it appears that Lloyd had a plan to take his father down, but it appears that Harumi escaped and now their plan has been busted, this isn't good.
