Y'all are gonna hate Harumi in this one LMAOOO

. . .

"You wished to see me, My Lord?" Harumi asked, bowing her head before Garmadon at the top of the tallest tower in Ninjago City.

"I don't understand. I have all the power and he has nothing." Garmadon said, surveying the broken city. "How is he still resisting?"

"He is not resisting. He is cowering." Harumi said, her head still bowed. "Yet I have tactics to find him. City wide sweeps are just the beginning."

"City wide searches..." Garmadon said. "Is that where you disappear to when you are not here?" He asked.

Harumi's eyes widened as she raised her head, the Emperor still facing away from her. "No, My Lord. I am at Kryptarium." She replied. 

"For what reason?"

Harumi swallowed. "We have captured one of the remaining Ninja, my Emperor. One of the leaders no less. I am merely extracting information from him." She tried to explain, yet her throat was dry and her hands were shaking.

"Your attempts have been unsuccessful." Garmadon turned around. His piercing red eyes shot daggers right through Harumi's head. "I am beginning to think you should dispose of him already."

"We cannot!" Harumi exclaimed. "F-for if we do, then... then we lose another method on how to draw Lloyd out...!" She quickly spat out.

Garmadon stepped forwards. Harumi stepped back, her hands stiff at her side. "Very well." Garmadon said, turning around once more.

Harumi sighed in relief and she turned to leave. Time for another visit, she decided.

. . .

"And the leaves by themselves are uncontrollable. Like one of our Powers if we couldn't channel it through something like our hands." Jay explained.

The four boys and the young master had somehow found their way into the First Realm of Oni and Dragon. With the back half of the Bounty, the boys kept their shelter within the living quarters.

"How do you know this much about Traveller's tea?" Kai asked.

"Experience, don't ask." Jay sharply pointed at him.

"I'm glad we have this much with us, in any case." Zane said, looking around at the living quarters they were currently in. 

"It's a better shelter than a tent." Cole said. "Especially now since Master Wu looks to be around the age of eight."

Looking over at Wu, the young boy has grown. Longer hair, the face of a boy now. He was looking at Morro's bed and the piles and piles of notes inside the drawer.

Zane stood up and walked towards him, sitting on his knees beside him. "Do you remember any of this at all?" He asked.

Wu was still staring at the collection of notes Morro gathered in his time apart before they reunited the team. Wu shook his head.

"Remember when we first found the Bounty?" Zane asked. "And I cooked up a feast for you all?"

"Haha!" Cole laughed. "Jay and Kai ran towards the thing with their arms waving. And I had to carry Morro there." He recalled.

"Yeah, since the Monastery was burning and it fell on top of him." Kai remembered, leaning back against his arms.

"Hard to imagine that time back then... Lloyd was a little brat, yelling about being the next Dark Lord." Jay giggled.

Zane smiled, remembering the beginning of the entire journey. "Any of that, don't you remember?" He asked.

Wu shook his head again. He looked around at the fallen photo board near where Jay was sitting. He walked over to it to get a look.
