The Split Element- Book 1 (Ninjago: Zane X Oc)

A Sinister Shadow...

3rd Person POV:

Once Lloyd was out, Harumi stood back up, removing her hood. "Wait." Pythor spoke up. "If I am not mistaken, you are the Jade Princess Harumi, aren't you?" He wondered, making Harumi sigh. "Not anymore." "How did you survive? I thought a building collapsed on you." The Snake added. "I will tell my story soon. But for now, let's deal with him." Harumi told them, once again looking down at Lloyd.

Mr. F walked over to the Ninja, and picked him up before leaving the council room. Harumi and the rest of council took their seats at the table, but before the girl could start her story, someone came jogging up the stairs.

"Sorry I'm late. I was held up by those pesky Ninja." The Mechanic huffed, noticing the other villains around the table. "Ah, Mechanic. So glad you could join us." Harumi smiled, walking over to him. "Jade Princess? Heh, I always knew you wer-" The man was suddenly spared from his sentence when Harumi tripped him up, making him fall before pointing her sword at his throat.

The Mechanic looked up, and stared wide-eyed at her. "You're going to pay for what you've done." "Wha-I-I didn't do anything! I swear!" He cried out, but Harumi knew that was a lie. "Oh, but you did. You killed her."

The Mechanic didn't know what to say. He was sure he killed Aly, but why was Harumi so angry about that? She hated the Ninja more than anyone. Right?

"If I may interrupt, Harumi..." Aspheera spoke up, just as Mr. F came back in the room. "...but Aly is, unfortunately, painfully resilient." Harumi looked over at the snake, staring angrily at her. "I'm sure you are aware, but I banished her and that Nindroid back in time to the Never-Realm, and they both came back unharmed...well...relatively."

Mr. F however knew something the rest of the council didn't, and made an attempt to gain their attention. But, he couldn't. "I must agree." Vangelis added. "She, along with the other Ninja, were lost in the mines beneath Shintaro. And, returned to the surface in one piece."

"Oh I know she's resilient as well as the other Ninja, trust me. But that doesn't change the fact that you, killed her." Harumi looked back at the Mechanic, inching her sword closer to his neck.

Mr. F rolled his eyes before grabbing his gun and pointing it straight up and pulling the trigger. And thankfully, he was able to gain the council's attention. "What is it, Mr. F?" Pythor asked him, right before the Nindroid directed their attention to a crystal spider on the table. It shone, and showed a recording from earlier.

"Aly!" Jay gasped as he and the others ran over to her and Zane. "What's wrong? Is she okay?" Cole added.

Harumi turned slightly, keeping her eyes fixed on the recording.

"She has, sustained multiple injuries...and is not responding." Zane informed them before Kai was shown kneeling over her. A few seconds later, he sighed, and stood back up. "She's alive. But I don't know how long she'll last."

The spider stopped the recording, and quickly scurried off as Harumi sighed. She stood up, putting her sword away while letting the Mechanic stand up in shock. "You're lucky she's not willing to go down like that." She told him before giving him a glare. "But if you go after her again, there will be consequences."

Harumi then turned away from the council, and left, leaving the villains in shock.

She was so close to putting the Mechanic in his place if Aly had died. But luckily, she was stubborn, which Harumi knew all too well at this point. She still hated Aly; she joined the enemy, so why wouldn't she hate her?

So Harumi made it her mission to finish Aly off herself, by any means necessary.

Harumi took a short breather before making her way to the council's little guest. She had plans of getting Lloyd here, but thankfully, he made his own way, which made Harumi's plans much easier.
