The Golden Princess

Garmadon

They all surrounded me. "So how exactly are you going to bring him back?" Jay asked.

I gave him a dark look. "Shut up and watch," I said. I shut my eyes and focused on my power. I heard the Ninja gasp and knew I was glowing gold. I stretched it outward and murmured, "Garmadon, come forward. Come back to the world of the living. For your son, for your brother, for your wife, and for Ninjago." There was an explosion and my eyes snapped open. Everyone was staring behind me and I turned. Garmadon, the good version, was lying on the ground. Passed out. I walked over and began healing him.  He opened his eyes and blinked. I smiled. "Hi," I said.

He sat up and looked around. "Where am I?"

"In a forest. We're here because Harumi, my sister, made the ship crash while we were searching for the final Oni Mask," I explained.

He looked at the Ninja. "Where's Lloyd?"

"With Harumi," Jay muttered.

Garmadon stood up. "You left him with someone evil?"

"No! While the ship was going down Harumi fell overboard and Lloyd jumped off and followed her," Cole said in a rush.

"And you let him?"

They all looked at me for help. I sighed. "They wouldn't have been able to stop him," I told Garmadon.

He looked at me. "And why is that?"

"Because she made him fall in love with her," I said simply. "He has no idea she's evil, yet."

"Hey, at least now they can't bring back the evil version of you," Kai said.

Garmadon frowned. "What?"

They explained with me putting in that Harumi purposely dropped the second Mask. "And we just found out the baby is Master Wu," Nya finished.

Garmadon's eye landed on his brother. "How did that happen?"

"The time twins came back and he was holding the reversal blade when he was lost in time. The Sons of Garmadon found him then Cole saved him," I said.

Garmadon nodded. "Okay. Then let's go find my son."

"Um, about that, we need to fix the Destiny Bounty to do that," Jay said.

I scowled. "He knows that."

"Then why... never mind." They started working on it while I looked around the ship. 

"What's your name?" Garmadon said coming up to me.

I looked at him. "Y/n Jade."

He nodded. "What are you looking for?"

"I don't know. I'm just feeling useless at the moment."

"Thank you for bringing me back."

"Oh, um, you're welcome. But I mostly did it so the Sons of Garmadon couldn't bring back the evil you."

"So I've heard."

I looked away. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked confused.

"For not going after Lloyd and Harumi. When we were on the ship I made sure they were never alone so Harumi couldn't do anything." I sighed. "I failed."

"No, you didn't. You made sure that Ninjago wouldn't be destroyed by the evil me. You more than made up for not going after them."

I smiled a little. "I guess."

We both looked toward the forest. "Do you think they've gotten the mask yet?"

I thought about that. "Maybe." I looked at him. "Now we just need to wait and see what they do."

He smiled. "Yes."

Suddenly an idea came to me. "I have an idea," I said.

He looked at me. "What?" 

"What if we don't tell anyone who doesn't know, who you are? Then Harumi can try to bring you back but she'll fail."

He nodded. "That's a good idea. But Lloyd will blurt it out when he sees me."

I grinned. "Not it I can help it. I'm quick. I'll cover his mouth before he gets to say anything."

"Okay. I'll go tell the others." He walked away. I can't wait to see Harumi's face when she realizes she failed. I giggled at the image that thought brought up. This was going to be good.
