The Call of Home

Chapter 31

Harumi's pov:

"Hey water lily! We're going!" Cole shouted to Nya who was still in combat.

"Hurry to the city. I'm not quite sure where the time twins may be, so be careful." Harumi quietly said in the middle of their battle.

"You too" Nya answered.

"Alright, seems like our girl time is over." Nya said out loud for everyone to hear before kicking Harumi off her and catching up with the rest.

By the time Harumi recovered from the kick, she saw Lloyd staring at her. Their eyes locked and she nodded, letting the master of energy know it'll be okay. And with no further interaction, he and the dark lord disappeared.

Nadakan hit the ground with a battle cry, clearly frustrated from the escape of the ninja.

"We have to get them!" The pirate roared.

"The only way to get back is with a travelers fruit. And I don't think you found it yet, did you?" Harumi asked while standing up and cleaning herself up.

"Actually..." Nadakan started. "I did, before I catch them all here." He said while approaching Harumi.

"But there's something bothering me... Don't you know, by any means, how the green ninja escaped?" He said while towering over Rumi.

"How could I know; I was out trying to get the lighting and earth ninja." She said annoyed.

"Oh, of course. Then care to explain how you and a nindroid under your control couldn't beat two of them?"

"Remember something was failing with the system? They managed to break my control. And one against three doesn't exactly gives me the upper hand." Harumi lied; she knew exactly how to trick Nadakan to convince him.

They both locked eyes filled with annoyance in a stare battle until the djinn let the subject go. "Alright, let's just go back now" he said.

The djinn took out the fruit and placed it in his hand, a blue orb appeared around it and made it levitate in front of them. It then shone bright, seemingly creating a portal. But at the end it only disappeared, and the fruit felt to the ground.

Harumi looked at Nadakan with a raised eye lash. Nadakan just grumped and tried his little trick again, yet with the same results.

Harumi shook her head, even if she didn't want to, she needed to help her teammate. If anyone suspected her, it could bust the whole mission.

She looked around to the knocked deidres. Lord Garmadon was able to make a portal by using his powers. A destructive power. Maybe that was the way to get out of here. Even if time worked differently, their delay would at least let the ninja get to another place before they came.

"Try to link your power with the fruit's. It shall power it. And use a destructive intention. Not just intend to travel." she said coldly.

Nadakan looked back at her with a raised brow. With no other word, he closed his eyes and used his powers again. This time, the magical orb wasn't celestial blue but a dark purple. As the djinn focused on opening the portal, the fruit started to show toxic purple fractures as it broke with corruption. In an explosion of power it opened a fracture just like the one before.

It was really small, but it was slowly growing bigger. Then, a green aura appeared and surrounded it, making the process even faster. When the fracture was finally big enough, the pirate let go and grinned at it.

"Good, let's go" and soon he passed through.

Harumi hesitated to follow him for a second, but she did anyways. If she wanted to help, it was better to follow the lead and continue with the act. She quickly entered through the fracture and was shook until the other end was visible and they were back at Ninjago city.
