Lloyd stared at the girl in front of him in shock. "...Aria?"
"Why are you so shocked? I should be the one who is shocked at how long you took to remember me." Aria spoke slowly
"...b-but...how? You should be younger...!...unless..." Lloyd looked into her eyes as he realized something. "...you were there...weren't you!?"
Aria smiled. "Of course I was. I followed you everywhere. How else do you think I got here?"
"You snuck onto the bounty!? You also got hit with the tea years ago!?...how did no one notice...?"
"I have my ways Lloyd." Aria gets down from her throne. "You have grown..."
"I could say the same for you...princess. I guess the name fits now, doesn't it?" Lloyd asks
"Your right Lloyd. I became what we dreamed of. You followed the old man's path and look where you are now." Aria looks serious
"You could have joined me Aria! You still can! No matter what you do, I know you, you-!" Lloyd says but gets cut off
"Save the speech Lloyd. I'm not as easily persuaded as your other princess." Aria says angrily
"...Harumi?...You really were there for everything...weren't you...?" Lloyd starts to calm down.
"Well, I needed to make sure my plan went perfectly. I wasn't going to let you ruin it. Luckily, everything went smoothly." Aria walked closer to Lloyd.
"What is your plan?" Lloyd looked at her with a serious face
"You know the plan Lloyd." Aria looked away
"No, I don't. Tell me!" Lloyd yelled
"You made the plan silly." Aria smiled
Lloyd paused for a second and tried to think about what she was talking about. "...to...to take over Ninjago...and..." Lloyd stopped
"And what Lloyd? Don't tell me you forgot the most important part?" Aria looked into Lloyd's eyes
"...NO! YOU CAN'T!" Lloyd yelled at the top of his lungs
Aria turned around and looked over her shoulder"Oh...but I can. I have to take revenge on him. He killed my mother."
"It was an accident! My grandfather didn't plan on it happening! You know this!" Lloyd argued
"Do I? Your own father wouldn't lie to us. You know that, don't you?" Aria laughed "He told us! My father never said anything. And your father was too honest at the time...still too naive and fell right into my trap."
"...The last time we were here...the Overlord never planned any of this... You did!" Lloyd yelled
"...No need to get so worked up Lloyd. You will soon understand." Aria started to walk around Lloyd
"I will never understand you! You won't get away with this!" Lloyd shouted
"...Haven't I already?" Aria laughed
"...What happened to the kind and caring Aria...the one that became my best friend and believed in me...? The one who promised to stay by my side forever and always...?" Lloyd asked
Aria looked back at Lloyd. "I could ask you the same thing. You used to be so scared of everything, yet you wanted to be the greatest villain of all time. Oh...that's right. You left me. In that horrible place alone."
"You know I got kicked out!" Lloyd said
"YOU SAID YOU WOULD COME BACK!" Aria shouted across the room, making Lloyd silent.
