(In a flashback, a young Harumi plays with her ninja action figures.)

Past Harumi: (As the Green Ninja.) At last, the Sword of Fortune! (As the Red Ninja.) Not so fast, ninja. I am the Shadow Thief, and I'll never let you have it. (As the Green Ninja.) Then we battle because ninja never quit. Hyah! (Her apartment then starts to rumble.)

Past Harumi's Father: What was that? (They turn on the news channel.)

Past Gayle Gossip: A snake of rather unusual size is attacking Ninjago. If you are watching this now, please leave the city at once.

Past Harumi's father: We need to leave now.

Past Harumi: But...

Past Harumi's father: (They go to the elevators but it's crowded.) We'll take the stairwell. (The stairs have been destroyed.)

Past Harumi: Where are the stairs? (They go back to the elevator.)

Man: There's no room. Take the next one. (The elevator doors start to close but Harumi's dad stops it.)

Past Harumi's father: Please, take her.

Past Harumi: No! I want to stay with you. Please! I want to stay. Mama. (They push her inside.)

Past Harumi's mother: We'll-We'll see you when we get down. I promise. (After the Devourer's been defeated, two paramedics help Harumi.)

Past Paramedic #1: Hmm. So much for the ninja.

Past Paramedic #2: (He sighs.) Did you see that thing? single-handedly destroyed it. He's the real hero.

Past Paramedic #1: Brave little girl you are. Where are your parents, child? Do you have a name? Well, aren't you the quiet one.

(The flashback ends.)

Lloyd: The Oni Temple. (They go inside and jump on pillars.) If the last mask is here, it won't come easily. Trust me, I've had my share of deadly tombs. Follow my every step. (Lloyd jumps on a pillar with a carving on it. It starts to crumble.)

Harumi: Lloyd.

Lloyd: (He jumps to safety.) Okay. Don't touch anything with that symbol on it. (Harumi secretly touches one.) What's happening?

Harumi: I don't know. I didn't touch anything.

Lloyd: Rumi, the exit. (He points to the exit, which starts to close.)

Harumi: No. No, no, no, no, no.

Lloyd: (He sighs.) Guess there's no turning back now.

(Back at the Bounty, the Sons of Garmadon tie up the ninja with Vengestone chains, except for Wu. The Gaurdian Pets are in their ninja's emblems.)

Cole: If you harm one hair on his head...

Killow: You'll what? Where is he? Where's the Green Ninja?

Cole: Ha. Like we'll ever tell you.

Jay: Uh, Cole, you don't argue with a man whose navel is that close.

Mohawk: Mr. E found them.

Killow: Good eye, Mr. E. The Oni Temple is just fifteen miles north of here. Set a course for the Quiet One.

Luke: You don't have to call her that. We know it's Harumi.

Kai: Do you guys have any idea what you're doing? She's planning on resurrecting Garmadon. Lord Garmadon. I'm gonna guess you never had the chance to meet him.
