Ninjago: The Cursed Crystal King (4)

Chapter 9: HOW COULD YOU!?

- Somehow, I'm still in the state that I am. I still can't launch an invasion of Ninjago City or activate the mountain.

- What mountain, your majesty?- asked Pythor.

- You will find out in your own time, my friends. Now.... Go take your revenge on the citizens and the ninjas.- the King dismissed them, waving his hand.

The council members cheered and left the room. The King turned into mist and penetrated the crystal, which returned to its intact form.

- Aren't you going to supervise them?- asked Harumi.

- No. Let them do as they please. I'll go and see if that ninja is awake.- said Peacebreaker and started to leave.

- Very well. I will go to him right away, too.- she said.

Peacebreaker went to the Vengestone warehouse and saw Lloyd which looking around the room through the cage. The green ninja looked down and gasped.

- Who are you! What have you done to me! Where the hell am I!!!?

- Calmly, without nervousness. You're in the Vengestone warehouse, as you can see.

- Who are you!? And what do you want from me!?

- I'm Peacebreaker, but you know me by the name (Y/N).

- (Y/N)!!?

- Yeah. I am the evil side of her. I broke free from the prison of her mind and took control of her. I'm in charge now.

- So you are.... Her corruption?

- That is correct. As you can see, we like this incarnation very much.

- Us?

Peacebreaker was just about to reply when she was interrupted by Harumi entering. Harumi rested her elbow on Peacebreaker's shoulder, who crossed her arms and looked at Lloyd with a grin.

- Oh please, the green ninja has finally woken up.- Harumi sneered.

- Harumi. What do you want from me!?!- he growled at her.

- We have an offer for you. The Crystal King invites you to join his council and would be delighted if you joined.- she offered.

- I guess, you are a fool. I will never join you or this Crystal King!! I will always be on the side of good!!- he yelled at her.

Harumi laughed and Peacebreaker snorted.

- If you are to spend some time with us, we will give you time to think about it. Having Son of Garmadon on our side is quite a treasure.- Peacebreaker growled.

- My friends will soon find me and save me! And then we will save you, (Y/N).- said Lloyd.

Harumi and Peacebreaker looked at each other in silence before laughing sinisterly. Lloyd growled and slammed his fist on the bars.

- What's funny about it!?- he yelled at full volume.

- That's the point. No one is coming to save you.- Harumi said.

- How can you be so sure?

Harumi and Peacebreaker turned around and saw the council members entering. Pythor, who was holding the Nunchucks of Lightning, the Mechanic, who was holding Shurikens of Ice, Aspheera holding the Sword of Fire, and Mr. F, who held the Scythe of Quakes.

Lloyd gasped slightly, recognizing the weapons, and shook his head. The girls looked at him.

- 'Since we managed to get your powerful weapons, the ninjas have fallen too.- said Harumi.
