《Energybound-English Version》The Truth Hurts
Advertisement
POV Lloyd
Harumi and I were lost in the middle of the jungle and on top of that I hurt my right arm and couldn't use it and I feel useless since it is my dominant arm since using things on the left one complicates me a bit.
Harumi used the map to make me a sling so my arm will heal fast and I won't have any more problems.
Even though I don't handle my left arm well, I'm using it to cut the weeds so we can both get through since we were trying to get to the Oni temple to get the mask of Hate.
Before leaving I left a note on a leaf that I cut from a tree and left it together with the Samurai X's mech so that if my friends found the mech they would not worry and they would know where we were
"Lloyd let me help you so you can rest" Harumi said sweetly
"Calm I can still" I said seriously
"Please Lloyd you need to rest" she insisted and I agreed.
I handed him the sword and immediately took the lead
When I turned around I saw that I had a liana on my foot but it was not just anybody, if not that it was moving and it was leading me towards the tree from which it came and many more lianas came out to try to trap me there forever
"Rumi helps !!" I screamed at all that I was waiting or rather begging for Harumi to help me
But before I could say or do anything the lianas caught me in the tree and I couldn't see anything anymore, so I was praying to the FSM that Harumi or whoever would help me
I tried to scream again but I couldn't because my body was already covered in live vines
But I didn't have to wait much longer since I heard someone cut the vines and when I was released I saw that Harumi had cut all of them with a precision that only someone trained would have.
"How did you do that?" I asked between grateful and shocked
"It was nothing" she said and with that he helped me up
"Well let's move on, we have to get to the temple quickly" I said and with that we continued walking
----------
After a long walk we reached a river, by this time my arm was already better so we had already saved the map and my breaststroke was free again for which I thanked the FSM

We were seeing that we were not going to be able to pass but something that I saw caught my attention since it turns out that the Children of Garmadon had already sent explorers to this place because there was a boat with several things and an identical copy of the map
"It seems that the sons of garmadon had already come here" I said pointing to a box with the symbol of the Sons of Garmadon
"It will still work, it seems like it was abandoned a long time ago" said Harumi referring to the ship
"Well there is only one way to find out" I said and tried to start the engine but it was dead
I saw a long pole that we could use to row so I grabbed them and headed to the front of the boat
"What are you going to do Lloyd?" asked Harumi flirtatious
"(Is she flirting?!?!?)" I thought but decided to ignore the tone
"I am going to use this pole to row and thus propel us while you are at the helm and turn if necessary" I explained
"Oki" he said still flirting with me
We talked a bit until something happened under the boat
"What was that?" Rumi asked alarmed
"I don't know" I said seriously
So we continue but with more caution until that thing, whatever it is, came out of the water behind the boat revealing a monster similar to a giant lobster.
"What is that thing?!?!" Harumi said scared
"I don't know, I just know that I have to row faster" he said starting to row with all my might
It took a while to get rid of that thing but we finally made it and we left the boat because we got to where we needed to continue in search of the Oni temple on foot
----------
We were entering the temple and it turns out that we had to jump on some pedestals
"Wait" I said and Rumi stayed behind
Everything was going well until I stepped on a pedestal with a rare symbol and with that I did not fall into the dark by the hair
"Lloyd !!" she scream worried
"I'm fine just don't step on the pedestals with the symbol" I said and I turned around to see the path but before I could jump to the next one the whole place started to shake and I turned to see Harumi with a look that blamed her
"I didn't do anything" Rumi swore

So we waited until it finished shaking and once it finished the only entrance or exit was closed
Once we both reached the mainland, we entered another chamber that had two stone walls, one with the symbol and the other without it.
"I think the Oni were quite intelligent" I said thoughtfully
"Why do you say that" she said placing her hand on my shoulder
"Because I think the correct wall is this with the symbol" I said
"But didn't that symbol cause the entrance to close before?" she said confused
"Yes that is what they want us to think since anyone who had come this far would think that the symbol is bad and would break the wall without the symbol which would cause this whole room to flood" I explained
"Well I trust you" he said standing behind me
Then I used my power and broke the wall with the symbol thus revealing another room with the mask of hatred in the center placed on a pedestal
Then Harumi turned away and went directly to take the mask of which I suspected but for some reason she couldn't take it and then she looked at me.
"Only someone with Oni blood can take the mask" he said and asked me to take it
So I came over and took it
"Can I see it?" Rumi said innocently
"Wait ..." I said when the revelation hit me
"What happen up Lloyd?" she ask between desperate and innocent
"I refuse to believe it but ... it's true" I said sad and angry
"Believe?" she insisted
"That you ... you were the Silent One" I said feeling used
"Yes now, I am the criminal mind" he said sarcastically
"Then explain how you know I have Oni blood?" I asked moving the mask away from her
"I should have heard it from someone, I think from Jay" she said in her last attempt to keep fooling me but she won't succeed
".... Lloyd I .... I love you" she said trying to get closer and give me a kiss and that ended up breaking everything
"Don't come near" I said pushing her and in the process the mask flew off and I ended up both
"AHHHHH" she yelled and tried to take the mask but I avoided him using my power and throwing the mask out of reach.
"Why you did it??" I yelled
"You would never understand" she said throwing herself on me
"But why?" ask softly
"I never asked to be a princess, just like I never asked to be an orphan but you gave me that" she said and I pushed her by exchanging possessions
"And how exactly did I give you that?" I said desperate
"The Great Devourer was very big, he was too powerful for you and your friends, it wasn't until the all-powerful Lord Garmadon saved the day ... but he couldn't save my parents, that day I too died" she said between angry and sad
----------
After fighting another little, I managed to throw the mask into the void but Harumi jumped behind it and managed to take it and put it on and with that I was easily defeated
So while I was recovering, she ran out but not before activating the temple trap and so it began to flood
----------
By the time I managed to get out I didn't get it out in the most comfortable or conventional way possible since I shot out of the temple, by the time I landed Nya was holding me
"Guys guys Harumi is the Silent One" I said quickly
"We had already figured it out Lloyd" said Kai
Then I realized that we were surrounded by the Sons of Garmadon
But before anything else happened that lobster-shaped monster reappeared and forced us to run to an island of rock
So we "unite" to defeat the beast but suddenly the Sons of Garmadon left as they had apparently stolen the Bounty.
"Bye Ninjas have fun with your death" said Harumi
Then Zane froze the monster
"Push me up" I yelled and Nya and Zane used their powers to create a ramp
So I used Spinjitzu to propel myself towards the Bounty and threw myself to try to stop them.
Once on the Bounty I couldn't really do anything as they caught me just getting on the Bounty
"Let me go" I yelled but obviously they didn't
"Look what we have here" said Killow
"The Silent One would like this" said Violet
So they took me to Harumi and she was no longer the person I thought I knew, she was dressed in totally black clothes and had the part of her eyes painted all over her face in red.
"Look Lloyd do you like what you see?" said between evil and flirtatious
"This is going to end badly for you and you know it" I spat at Harumi and Killow hit me in the stomach and I coughed up blood
"Well watch him well and go to the Temple of Resurrection" said Harumi and then I stayed there but Killow and Ultra Violet were watching me if I tried to do something I was going to be unconscious or worse
All that was left for me was to watch until I reached the Temple where I hoped that my friends and girlfriend would manage to stop Harumi and the rest of the Sons of Garmadon from trying to bring my father back.
