Chapter 75: Saving Faith

Ultra Violet pushes Skylor to her knees.


Mistaké as Harumi "My Lord, I have proved my allegiance time and time again. For you to doubt my abilities—"


"Is what?! Two-faced?" they look to see Harumi "That isn't me, Emperor Garmadon"


Mistaké as Harumi looks angry "You're the impostor! Arrest her n—"


"Let. Her. Speak" Garmadon commands


"That is Mistaké. The shape-shifting Oni I was telling you about. She tried to get the Master of Amber close enough to touch you so that the Resistance could turn your power against us" Harumi explains quickly


Skylor rips out the ropes and tries to run to touch Garmadon. Ultra Violet immediately brings her to her knees again and struggles. Mistaké sees the struggle and runs to help Skylor. Killow grabs her and holds her in the air.


Garmadon smirks "Well done, Harumi, It's good to have you back, my child"


Harumi smiles "The pleasure was all mine, Father"


Skylor stands up, throwing off Ultra Violet's grip on her "He's not your father. His son is Lloyd-" Ultra Violet pushes her down.


"I thought I smelled an Oni, I thought it was just Aria in the cell" Garmadon looks at the Mistaké-Harumi form "but it looks like your plan backfired."


"The only thing that backfired is you turning against your father's realm. Ninjago is a place of light, and you are a source of shadow" Mistaké says angrily


"You know it all turns to darkness" Garmadon argues


"The future is not in your hands" Mistaké says "You are not the true Dark Lord"


Garmadon growled "Show me, Oni. Show me your real face. Or are you worried what your friends might think of you, demon?"


"Maybe I'll show you" Mistaké slowly transforms into her Oni form with smoke to disguise her entrance in the air, landing on the ground. Killow lets go and covers his ears.


Mistaké is now uses her Oni Voice and form "But only for you to see what a full-blooded Oni can do" she knocks Garmadon back on to his throne seat Garmadon hits her with his power. Mistaké takes it and releases it to the air "But the true Dark Lord can do much worse then I can!"


Skylor pushes Ultra Violet back and kicks her across the floor when she moves to push Skylor down. Harumi jumps on Mistaké. Mistaké throws her off. Skylor runs up, Killow grabs her while Mistaké grabs Garmadon. Mistaké backflips and throws Garmadon against a wall.


Garmadon lifts her in the air with his powers and shakes her. Mistaké grabs on to a ledge, watches Skylor. Skylor kicks Killow in the face, pushing him on his back on top of Ultra Violet. Skylor runs up to touch Garmadon. Harumi jumps on Skylor, knocking her down.


Ultra Violet and Killow try to hold Skylor down.


Mistaké sees Skylor in trouble "...Dark Lord, I leave them to you" She starts chanting "Ee Mah Vee-aza-bub" Garmadon hits Mistaké with his powers. Garmadon pushes her down, Mistaké continues chanting. "Ee Mah Vee-zaz-bub" She forms a staff, kicks Garmadon in the stomach, throwing him off her, then slams the staff down, forming a black cloud of Dark Magic.


"My Emperor! Look out!" Harumi shouts


Garmadon sees Mistaké in the form of Skylor, and hits her with his power. He sees smoke coming out of Mistaké transforming back to herself.


Mistaké smirks "Never trust...an Oni"


Skylor touches Garmadon "Gotcha"


"Don't let her leave!" Harumi shouts


"Go, Skylor!" Mistaké shouts and Garmadon grabs her by her arm.


Skylor runs to the stairs, sees the rest of the Sons of Garmadon. She backs away to the edge of the top of the tower. Skylor leaps off the side, landing on a blimp. Ultra Violet pulls her sai out, guarding Garmadon.


"Surrender" Garmadon commands


"Surrender? Never heard of it!" Mistaké shouts she sends a blast of darkness into the floor with her staff


Garmadon grabs the staff "You missed, Mistaké"


"Oh did I?" Mistaké questioned smiling


"That was your last mistake, Mistaké" Garmadon readies a dark energy ball


Mistaké closed her eyes 'I leave them in your care young Lord, save them'


Meanwhile Skylor uses a SoG banner on blimp to swing to a building. She jumps down to a set of emergency stairs alongside building. She sees Killow and listens.


"Skylor escaped. Hunt her down!" Killow shouts


"What about the old woman?" a SoG Rider asks


Killow smirks "Ah, we don't longer have to worry about her. Hmm. Hahahahaha"


"Oh no" Skylor says sadly


Ultra Violet runs down "The Purple Ninja has escaped! Find her now! She couldn't have gotten far!"


The SoG screech off fast.


Skylor smiles a bit "Aria escaped"


-


Skylor returns to the Resistance's hideout.


"Skylor!" Lloyd shouts


"Where's Mistaké?" Nya asks


"...uh.." Skylor looked sad


"She didn't... make it?" Dareth questions and Skylor shakes her head.


Nya kicks a garbage bag in frustration " Auhh!!" the garbage bag hits dump, moving a walkie-talkie.


Ultra Violet was heard on the walkie-talkie "Target last seen at the intersection of Nelson and LaMonica"


Nya gasps.


Killow was head on the walkie-talkie "Good. We're moving in"


"You were followed" Nya says


"Did you touch him?" Lloyd asks


Skylor nods "Yes"


"Can you control it?" Lloyd asks


"Not sure. But there's one way to find out" Skylor replies


Everyone goes to the top of the building.


Skylor uses the dark powers and struggles, the Colossus' fingers move, then spins around.


"Yes!!" Nya jumps in the air. Lloyd and Dareth cheer


The Colossus walks towards them.


"That's... not... me" Skylor says


Garmadon walks the Colossus towards them with his power


"Garmadon is controlling it! We have to go!" Nya shouts


Lloyd leads Skylor "You can do this. Take control. Break his hold"


Skylor struggles "I... can't"


"Uh... that's close enough for me. hehh-ahhh!" Dareth screams and runs into building.


"We need to get out of here. Your father's too powerful" Nya says


"Control it, Skylor. I have faith in you. You felt his power and now it's yours. You can do it. Control it. Feel his power" Lloyd encourages "Control it"


Skylor takes control slowly "I'm.. doing it."


Skylor's control surprises Garmadon and he loses control. Skylor uses the Colossi to step on SoG vehicles.


Ultra Violet Puts on Oni Mask of Hatred, she punches the Colossus.


"I wanted to do this for a long time" Skylor uses the Colossus to pick up Ultra Violet and flings her.


Killow puts on Oni Mask of Deception and throws cars up at the Colossus. The Colossus hits cars back down at him, cars land on him and the mask falls off. He picks up the mask, only to find it broken. Skylor turns the Colossus towards Borg Tower.


"It's time to knock the emperor. Off. His. Throne" Nya says


The Colossus reaches base of tower and starts to climb. Garmadon struggles and panics in realization as he tries to take back control. The Colossus continues to climb. Skylor raises the Colossus' right hand while Garmadon tries to take back control.


Skylor struggles and swings the Colossi's hand down.


" I am the Emperor. I am the Destructor" Garmadon slowly gains control of the Colossus "I am in control!"


Skylor struggles to bring Colossi hand down to hit the tower again.


"Something's wrong" Nya says worriedly as Skylor continues to struggle.


Both Skylor and Garmadon lose control. The Colossus falls down. People run away screaming. Garmadon gains control and walks the Colossus towards them.


"My father's power. It's too strong" Lloyd says


Skylor tries to regain back her control "I can hold on" The Colossus turns towards Garmadon. Skylor shakes off the power in pain.


"His power. It's hurting her!" Nya shouts


Skylor tries to come over her pain "I—"


Garmadon tries to regain his control. The Colossus wobbles and crashes into a building. The Colossus struggles between Skylor and Garmadon.


Skylor is in pain "Ehh—"


"Let go, Skylor! Let go!" Nya shouts as Skylor's eyes turn purple.


"She can't" Lloyd pulls Skylor away from the side of the building "His power will kill her"


The Colossus falls on the building Harumi is standing on. Garmadon sees Harumi "My child"


Harumi sees the Resistance on the other side. She panics, realizing her fate.


Lloyd looks at her "Rumi..." Everyone watches her building fall.


"NOOOO!!!" Garmadon bows down then gets up in anger "You want this city, Lloyd? Then you can have it, in ruins!" He marches Colossi towards them.


Nya shakes Skylor "I—I can't wake her up. It's like his power poisoned her"


"Whoa whoa whoa, Doctor of Dark Arts. Should any of us really be making a diagnosis?" Dareth questions "we need Aria for that"


"No. Nya's right. I think the only way to save Skylor is to get his power out of her" Lloyd says


"I don't know anything about that. But I do know about what's coming our way!" Dareth shouts


Everyone except Skylor looks up to see the Colossus coming their way.


Lloyd looks down "no"


"Lloyd look!" Nya shouts


Lloyd looks up to see the Colossus standing in place. They heard footsteps behind them.


"Leave the darkness to me guys" Aria walks in front of them with her eyes glowing purple "after all, it is my element"


Lloyd smiles "Aria" he looks at all her terrible injuries and turns sad "t-they tortured you" he stood up and ran over to her. He looked at her closely,  at all the burns, cuts, and stabs.


Aria looks at him as he starts crying "idiot why are you crying" she wipes his tears


"You must've been in so much pain" Lloyd hugs her "I'm sorry"


"Lloyd I would give up my life to protect you and this city" Aria tells him "A ninja never quits"


"Why didn't you tell them where we were?" Nya questions sadly, she was trying not to cry "you wouldn't have been tortured like that"


Aria smiles "It's true, I could've given you all up.. but.. people who abandon their friends.. are worse then scum" she held Lloyd's hand "and I would never abandon my friends or my love"


Aria turns towards the Colossus and it still hasn't moved


"I can't believe you stopped it with a single glace" Nya says surprised "it hasn't moved even once, even after being tortured you're so powerful"


Lloyd looks at her worried "How can you do that? Doesn't it hurt?"


"Of course not, because I'm no fake, I'm the real Dark Lord" Aria looks across the city at Garmadon "DO YOU HEAR ME GARMADON, THIS CITY BELONGS TO ME, THE DARK LORD! AND IF YOU WANT IT YOU CAN PRY IT FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS, I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU! SO BRING IT BITCH!"
