"Your highness" Clouse follows behind Aria "everything has been set up.. will you be participating as well?"

"Perhaps I should" Aria puts her hands on her hips "I am a participant after all" she smirks "but i'm afraid the ninja would be at a disadvantage"

The two arrived at the roller rink and Clouse took his spot next to Master Chen as Aria stood off to the side.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. What about us? Are we supposed to just stand here?" Griffin questions

"You get to help anyone you wish, or hurt for that matter. You're free to choose sides. I'm not a dictator" Chen replies

Everyone but Jay and Kai chose to side with Chamille. Aria walks into the rink.

"What was that you said about us having targets on our backs?" Lloyd questions looking at the two ninja

"Don't worry, we're still a team—" Kai falls again "Ah!"

Jay sighs "I gotta be honest. This doesn't look good"

"wow this is quite the predicament you got" Aria chuckles and the ninja glare at her

"Will you be participating as well Dark Lord?" Master Chen asks

"Possibly" Aria replies looking at the two teams

"Yeah yeah just grab your helmet so we can start already" Jay crosses his arms annoyed

"I'd watch that tone if I were you ninja" Aria says as she skates over to him "or you might find yourself in a tight spot"

Jay gulps

"Alright" Aria looks at Chen "let's start this thing"

"Huh!?!" Everyone shouts surprised as Aria was holding a green helmet

"What?" Aria looks at them

"Y-you're siding with us?" Kai asks confused

"It wouldn't be any fun if you guys lost this easy" Aria shrugs

Chen chuckles "that little princess sure is interesting"

"What game are you playing?" Lloyd asks suspiciously

"The one that's about to start" Aria replies, like a smartass

Aria snaps her fingers and her outfit changes with dark power. Her dress changes into a normal black shirt with shorts.

"Woah" Jay says impressed "I want to be able to do that"

"The perks of being another species" Aria gloats

"Another species?" Lloyd looks confused

"Yeah, hello my father's true form is a dragon remember" Aria says "meaning I'm also a dragon"

"Right right" Lloyd rubs the back of his head

On the stands Garmadon mumbles "She's actually a dragon Oni but the ninja will learn that another time"

Everyone takes their position.

"Lloyd, master of Power, versus Chamille, master of Form. Most laps with their Jadeblade when time runs out wins. Loser is out. Thunderbladers on your mark, get set, good luck to everyone, but mostly Chamille because we all want the Green Ninja out. Now go!" Chen shouts and the two get a head start

"Hey princess don't you dare go messing up Lloyd!" Jay shouts at her

"Well I wasn't going to but now I think I will" Aria replies

"Jay!" Kai shouts "stop provoking her!"

"I'm sorry!" Jay whines

"Oh, how about some spectator ambience?" Chen presses a button to make the speakers cheer.

The others take off.

"It's us against the world, Kai. If Lloyd has any chance of moving forward in the tournament, it's up to you and me" Jay sees everyone pushing Lloyd "We have to give him room"

'lighten up old geezer I'm just having fun, you're dead and you're still lecturing me'

'you just wanna save your boyfriend'

'no.. just a little'

'hey!'

'who falls in love with their nemesis!'

'I didn't know it was the green ninja Lloyd! Where were you when i was falling in love with him, why didn't you yell at me then!'

'how busy can you be! you're dead!'

'...shush, focus on the match'

Aria shakes her head and looks ahead. Shade hits Lloyd's back and Paleman grabs his Jadeblade. Jay pushes Paleman and grabs the Blade back.

"You didn't learn that in your Mother-Son Skate-Off, did you?" Lloyd asks

"It's a fierce competition, Lloyd, and this isn't the time to judge. It's the time to skate faster" Jay jumps over Kai and Griffin, who fell "Haha! Watch out for the Poison cloud!"

Lloyd and Jay skates around it but Kai goes into it.

"How stupid are these ninja?" Aria sighs

She uses the energy of her dark power to blow away the poison cloud.

"huh? you blew that away with just energy" Kai says amazed

"I told you ninja I was gonna destroy you" Aria tells him "and I wasn't kidding"

"then why help us now?" Kai asks confused but angry "I don't get it"

Aria glances at Lloyd "I have my own reasons"

Kai looks confused but Aria skates away.

"Release the buggy!" Chen shouts

Jay pushes Lloyd out of the path of the Jungle Raider before he gets hit. They see Chamille holding on to the buggy.

"She has the lead and she gets a lift? I know Chen wants me out, but this is getting ridiculous" Lloyd says annoyed

"All's fair" Aria suddenly appears next to him "that's one thing good guys will never understand, evil doesn't play nice so neither should you"

"How do you keep disappearing and appearing like that?!" Jay shouts

"hm?" Aria tilts her head "you mean like this" Aria disappears

"Ah!" they shout

Aria appears on the other side of Lloyd "I'm over here"

"You're teleporting?!" Lloyd shouts

"Yeah I thought that was obvious" Aria says

"How do you do that?" Lloyd asks "I can't even do that"

"The power of darkness is different then the power of light" Aria smirks "which was taken from you by my father last year wasn't it, then you used your remaining power to restore the ninja's elemental powers. Must suck to be so weak again"

Lloyd looks down "I'm still the green ninja, I still have my power of energy!"

"Of course you do, just like how I'm the master of darkness" Aria says and she creates a purple energy ball in her hand "you and I have 2 sides, you have the elemental powers of light energy and the ultimate spinjitzu master, green and gold. I have the elemental powers of darkness and the power of the Dark Lord, purple and black, both having different abilities as does yours.

Anything your green energy, your elemental power can do I can do as well, but darker. You can use fire, I can use purple fire, you can use ice, I can use black ice, you can use earth, I can also use earth, you can use lightning, and I can use lightning. Anything you have, I have the dark counterpart"

"Why are you telling me all this if we're enemies?" Lloyd asks "this information helps me know what you can do and can help me defeat you"

Aria looks ahead "I'm sure all will be revealed in time, for now, it's time for you to take back the lead. Let's go Aladdin!"

"A-Aladdin?!" Jay looks shocked "...you're-"

"Let's go" Aria skates ahead

Jay shakes his head and moves forward. Jay pushes Tox, Griffin and Neuro grabs Jay. Griffin uses his Speed and pushes Jay into Lloyd.

"Get up!" Aria shouts pulling the two back up onto their feet "don't intervene with my plans and get moving!"

"We're trying" Jay says

"Argh! That's it! I may not be able to skate, but that doesn't mean I can't help" Kai uses his Fire to propel himself into Chamille and Jay grabs her Jadeblade.

"Lloyd's closing the gap, but the clock's against us" Jay says

"So is everyone else. Garmadon's right. The more we exclude everyone, the more they gang up on us" Kai says

"Gimme!" Chamille pushes Jay and steals her Blade back "I've got a job to finish"

"I'll take care of her, you help Lloyd" Aria tells the ninja before following after her

"I seriously don't understand this Overlord" Kai says confused

"Let's just be happy she's with us this time" Jay goes up

Kai rides next to Lloyd on the buggy "Need a lift?"

"You took the buggy" Lloyd says happily getting on

"Buttons, buttons, buttons!" Chen shouts hitting a bunch of buttons trying to stop Lloyd, but can't.

Chamille pulls Lloyd out of the buggy. The two fighters cross the finish line, but only Lloyd has the Jadeblade.

"She doesn't have her Blade!" Jay shouts

Chamille looks back to see Aria standing on the sidelines whistling, she's holding Chamille's Jadeblade.

"Alright!" the ninja cheer

"No, no, no! He cheated! Lloyd loses!" Chen shouts

"No way, Lloyd won fair and square. You were the one who cheated" Griffin argues

Chen crosses his arms "My tournament, my rules"

"And just what rules are those? If Lloyd's out, then so am I" Paleman says

"Me too" Kai agrees

Jay nods "And me three"

"Well then" Aria smirks "I win"

All the Elemental masters glare at her, she shrugs.

"It's not much of tournament if everyone looses at once" Skylar says

"Fine, have it your way. Form loses" Chen opens a trapdoor under Chamille.

Everyone cheers but Aria, Clouse, and Chen.

"I helped you this time ninja" Aria turns away "don't count on me next time" she walks away

"I don't get it" Kay says

Lloyd stares at Aria as she leaves "Why did she help us.."
