The Call of Home

Chapter 27

Harumi's pov:

The first time she had started remembering was during a conversation with Lloyd, it must had been about a month since then and not too long after that. She remembered everything. Once she was back to herself, she found Nadakan in front of her. She had one of the crystals in her hands, while Nadakan started to remind her of everything.

Their mission: capture the ninja and get their powers, then kill them.

But they didn't have much strength to launch an attack at the moment, they needed to wait and form a plan. Harumi knew what it all meant, and how she needed to proceed.

Once they had the soldiers ready, Nadakan send a couple to attack when he sensed they were starting to remember too. Although Harumi insisted to wait, but his teammate wouldn't listen. And of course, it didn't end as the captain had planned. Now, she had more problems. Her plan to capture the ninja worked better than she anticipated. Instead of just getting one of them, they got two prisoners now. When capturing them, she had only seen Lloyd before she activated the cable to make him, and to her surprise, and Zane fall into their trap.

Her plan was to just capture one of them, that way they could interrogate him or her. Now, she needed another plan. No matter what, they wouldn't reveal where the others where. And even if they used them as baits, she needed to do another thing. She needed to buy time. Luckily for her, Nadakan's wish for revenge on Jay got her more time to convince him to leave the Ninja alive. She needed to act quickly, to find the others and complete her mission. Not the one the time twins had gave her, but her own.

Harumi decided to check on Lloyd and the ice ninja. She went over deck and saw them both on a safe distance to not be spotted by them. The two boys were talking, Lloyd tried to pick open the lock of the immense door but to no use. The Nindroid was trying to talk some sense into him but with no use. That boy really didn't know when to stop. Soon enough, the master of energy gave up and turned to see his friend. They continued talking. She couldn't hear anything, but since the Master of Ice managed to settle the green ninja, she knew they were fine for their circumstance. The sunlight found its way into their cell, making the blond hair of Lloyd shine. Harumi then turned away and kept walking, she needed a new plan, she couldn't distract herself. Anyways, that gave Harumi an idea.

Until now her plans had worked out just fine. She had told Nadakan to let the staff in the office to use it as a bait for the Ninja, they got away with it, but Nadakan didn't saw why they needed it.

But Harumi knew why they needed it. She knew Nya would find a way to get out of here, and so they would eventually go for the staff. And since they already had a crystal, surely, they had already contacted their friends in Ninjago. They already had a plan.

But this time, Nadakan got into her plan and had taken them both. She initially though that just one would be enough to distract Nadakan while the others escaped. But the ninja just had to screw up and now two of them were here. She knew they wouldn't leave anyone behind, so they were still here trying to get their friends back. She had saw how the rest of them spread through town to try to find her. She wished she could go to them and tell them her plan. But it was too risky, they wouldn't believe her, and she would lose her manipulation over Nadakan. If only they remembered all! At least Nya did. She had to take the two ninjas out of here and send them all back to Ninjago. If she managed to make Nadakan let go one of them, she could get the other one out.

Lloyd was in no condition to find his way back to the others on his own, he would surely get lost or something. Besides, Nadakan wouldn't let that happen, it would be too suspicious. Zane had to be. That's it! She just knew how to take them out.

"What?!" Nadakan said from the other side of the table.
