We open to a shot of New Ninjago City after the Overlord had taken the technology over and made things extremely dangerous, smoke and fire was coming from multiple buildings as the corrupted machines were searching the whole city for any signs of the Spike and the Ninja or the Techno Blades, most of the people were in hiding to avoid harm, but it wasn't easy for anyone here right now.

One man was seen running up to a vending machine to try and get a drink, but after he gave the proper amount of money and the machine held out a drink, but when the man tried grabbing it, the machine didn't let go which made him worried, but it got worse once the man saw a Hover Copter had come around the other corner and spotted him from below which was piloted by the new nindroid's that were built, freaking him out and he ran away with fear as it scanned him and found his identity, but it wasn't what they were looking for.
"Sector 17 clear, continuing search for ninja!" The Nindroid said as it flew off around the city again as the camera pins to Borg tower after it was taken over.

Pixal was seen within the main office after Borg was taken control of by the Overlord, she had one of the mech's within the containers that had absorbed some of Lloyd's Golden Power, she was setting things up quickly for an important process that the Overlord was in desperate need of.
"Initializing power transference. Extracting golden power." Pixal announced while she pressed on a button which made parts of the floors open up, and from it came a strange container to transfer it into.

"Stand by for physical somatic download." Pixal reported as she began the transference, this started to make the machine drain the golden power from the mech which began shooting a beam into the container, brief dark flashes of light were seen as something tries to form within it, and the Overlord's voice could be heard from within it.

"Yes... yes!" Overlord said maliciously as the body was almost finished, but the mech had soon run out of power which shut down the machine, leaving the Overlord without a proper body for himself.

"It's not enough! I need more of that boy's power, if I am ever to be freed from this Digital prison! I'm fed up with pathetic mortal bodies! I want my own body!" Overlord said with frustration as a dark light flows out from it and into the possessed Borg who was being used as a vessel for long.

"Find me more power! Find me the Golden Ninja!" Overlord ordered which was difficult for them right now.

"By my computation, your primary duty should be finding the Techno Blades, they are the only thing that.." Pixal said before she was interrupted again by him.

"Those Ninja and that Dragon don't know what they already possess! I want the Golden one!" Overlord ordered which made Pixal bring up the city's monitor's for any traces of them.

"Nindroids don't have any current visuals on him, or the Master of Crystal." Pixal reported which the Overlord already knew about.

"They just don't know where to look." Overlord said sinisterly while he turned around, and a headlight turned on from behind which revealed Wu who was strapped to a chair with restraints keeping him from moving.

"You'll never get anything from me!" Wu refused as the Overlord crawled up in front of him.

"You might not, but your memories will!" Overlord declared before he shot a strange beam towards Wu's head, and even though it tickled to Wu, it was transferring data into a computer behind them that would show everything he knows.

"It tickles!" Wu said with a laugh as the data was transferring.

"It's only a matter of time before your mind tells me everything!" Overlord threatened as the memory's started appearing on screen.

"Never!" Wu refused again before he felt the thing searching through his memory's, making them discover almost every single hiding spot, person or place he's ever known or been too.

Meanwhile with Spike and the ninja, they had made it to a place far away from New Ninjago City, it was near a large forest where they could blend in nicely, and have a nice place to relax. Spike and Allison were helping the other's cover up they're new vehicle's with the trees and leaves around the place, they were doing what they can to hide, and were confident it will work here.
"Are covering these vehicle's up really necessary dad?" Allison asked as Spike used Cole's Earth power again with his own powers, and he helped cover up his hover bike with a few of them for safety.

"Of course Allison! We can't have these futuristic vehicle's with very obvious bright color's be out in the open can we?" Spike pointed out which Allison could see through.

"Hmm, fair enough, at least this gives us time to rest for a bit." Allison replied as she and Spike met up with the other ninja who were just finishing up.

"Your right on Allison, this is the perfect place! It's nice having a place with no robots or cameras, just nature." Lloyd said with a smile as Spike gave him a high five.

"Tell me about it, all those awards and places we had to go to were full of flashing cameras and so many people watching, sometimes it's nice to just have some privacy, we've hardly had enough of that ever since our last battle together." Spike replied making Lloyd laugh a bit.

"Couldn't agree more there Spike." Lloyd replied as they saw Nya and the other's coming up to him with his new suit too.

"Here Lloyd, you'll need this in case arial drones pass by, it'll scramble they're signal so you can't be found." Nya informed while she tossed it over to him, and after using Spinjitzu for a brief moment, he now was wearing his new ninja suit which was really well designed.

"This is really sweet, thanks Nya." Lloyd replied as Spike looked at his suit's design.

"Borg really outdid himself i must say, how long ago do you think he made these?" Spike asked while he looked at his suit.

"Hopefully when this is over we'll be able to ask him, can't imagine what he's going through right now.." Allison said regretfully, and that made them feel bad for him and everyone else back in the city with what's happening right now.

But as they were thinking over this, they heard a familiar voice come up to them after seeing them arrive.
"Lloyd? is that you?" Misako asked while Lloyd took off his mask with a look of surprise.

"Mom?" Lloyd asked with joy before he turned around and she ran up to him and gave him a hug feeling happy to see him here.

"What are you all doing here?" Misako asked with a smile turning to all of them who were worried about how to tell her it.

"Wait, you mean you haven't heard the news?" Spike asked with surprise concerning her.

"What do you mean Spike? What's wrong?" Misako asked looking at Lloyd again.

"The Overlord's returned, he's taken over New Ninjago City after corrupting all the tech there, and he's captured Wu.." Lloyd said with guilt to tell her this, but she felt confident he'll be able to push through it.

"Wu is tough, there are reasons he's lived as long as he has." Misako assured knowing what he's been through.

"Let's hope so, but where is dad?" Lloyd asked looking around for him.

"Yeah, where's Lord Garmadon?" Kai questioned since it's been years since they last saw him.

"He no longer goes by Lord, here, he is Sensei Garmadon. And he won't be back until this evening's lesson." Misako replied which surprised them all.

"Really? Garmadon a Sensei?" Allison asked with surprise while standing besides Spike.

"When did he become a Sensei?" Jay asked with shock to hear that.

"I met up with him a few times with Lloyd after the last battle, he became one a few months afterwards, he's honestly a really good sensei let me tell you!" Spike said with a smile while recalling they're last interactions they've had.

"I'm sure glad he's on our side, with Wu gone, we could use his help." Zane requested with a hopeful look.

"Come in, but your weapons are not allowed, ever since Lloyd and Spike saved him, Garmadon's sworn an oath to never fight again, all in hope to make up for his past. It's one he takes very seriously." Misako explained as they were moving towards a newly built monastery near a waterfall and a cliffside.

"But we're supposed to protect these blades with our lives?" Kai asked with worry while they looked at they're weapons.

"And never let them out of our sight." Jay said with worry which made Zane decide something that can help.

"You all go on ahead, I'll stay here and keep an eye on them." Zane offered which everyone instantly agreed with.

"Your the best uncle Zane! Be safe!" Allison said as Spike handed him his weapon along with everyone else.

"If you need help give us a holler okay? We'll be there when you need it." Spike assured making Zane smile a bit.

"Thank you my friend, tell Garmadon I said hi when you meet him." Zane replied as Spike started moving along with the other's to the monastery ahead of them while Zane was left alone with the blades.

Spike and everyone else followed Misako towards the monastery ahead of them, and within it's yard, they saw a ton of students were playing around and having a fun time, when one of them kicked the ball towards the entrance, Kai was able to pick it up which made the kids excited seeing they're all here.
"Ah at least there's some places in this world I'm still considered cool!" Cole said proudly as the kids ran up to them, but they soon ran past them and directly to Spike and Lloyd with an amazed look seeing them here.

"How you kids doing?" Spike asked playfully as he used his powers to form a crystal ball and tossed it in the air before he shot it with another blast and made it lightly explode like a firework which amazed all of them.

"Nicely done Spike!" Lloyd said with an impressed look as the kids looked at the both of them.

"Nope, your still totally lame Cole." Jay said with a smirk while nudging his shoulder before they walked up to them again. The rest of the ninja soon joined up with the other kids and played with them a bit, and as this happened, Nya was looking at both Cole and Jay, and it was a look Misako knew too well.

"I recognize that look." Misako said with a smile shaking Nya out of her thoughts.

"What look? I wasn't looking.. " Nya said nervously while Allison came up to her after seeing it too.

"We both can see it Nya, your still hung up after what you saw with that machine aren't you?" Allison asked since Cole was said to be her perfect match.

"Was it that obvious Allison? What do I do? Jay's the only one who makes me laugh but.. Cole.. Cole's not Jay.." Nya said as they looked at the group making Allison raise an eyebrow.

"What do you mean.. Cole's not Jay? What exactly makes you feel for him as you do for Jay?" Allison questioned as that didn't make sense to her.

"I.. don't.. know.." Nya replied with a small smile as she saw the two of them playing with the kids, and Allison had a dreadful feeling of where this was going.

"This is gonna be rough.." Allison told herself before she slithered back to her father as everyone else went to the Monastery.

Later that evening, everyone else was seated within the monastery and were waiting to see Garmadon again, they were curious about what will happen, and also hoped Zane's doing okay out there. But as they see a shadow start to walk towards the doors in front of them, everyone gasps as they see a figure with what looked like four arms.. but once the doors opened, another servant just politely opened the door for Garmadon who was still completely restored from his corruption.
"Ah my son, Spike, so glad to see you've joined us!" Garmadon greeted with a polite tone seeing them here.

"Nice to see you too Garmadon, glad your doing well." Spike said with a smile while he sat near Allison again.

"It sure has been a while father." Lloyd greeted while waving at him as everyone was surprised seeing him in his new get up.

"Check out the new Sensei, looking sharp.." Jay whispered to Cole which resulted in Garmadon whacking him with his staff on the head.

"Silence!" Garmadon instructed while Jay rubbed his head with pain.

"Close your mouth, and open your ears. Tonight's lesson, is the Art of the Silent Fist, to fight, without fighting, may I have a volunteer?" Garmadon asked while looking at all the students.

"Why don't you do it Lloyd? It should be fun." Allision suggested which was a great idea.

"You read my mind Allison!" Lloyd replied as he got up to face against him again.

"The ultimate battle, round 2!" Nya said playfully as they stood against eachother.

"Attack me, but please, no powers, I happen to like my monastery." Garmadon joked which made everyone laugh hearing it.

"Ooh!" Allison laughed while everyone kept watching him get ready.

Lloyd soon raised his fist and screamed with anger while he tried attacking him, but Garmadon swiftly moved out of the way and made him crash into a table right behind him which actually hurt him a bit.
"You see? The key is balance. Let your opponent fight himself." Garmadon instructed while he had his back turned to them, and that made Lloyd to try and attack him from behind, but Garmadon ducked his head under a drop kick, followed up by a jump to him with a fist punch, and Garmadon soon made Lloyd slide over him and resulted in him crashing against the ground which tired him out.

"Let the enemy fight himself." Garmadon instructed as everyone kept on watching with surprise. Lloyd tried getting back up to try one last attack, and as he charged towards Garmadon, jumping in the air and making a loud battle cry, Garmadon just made a little yawn and quickly rolled out of the way which surprised Lloyd, and sent him crashing back into the walls painfully where everyone else was sitting.

"Glad that wasn't me..." Spike said to himself as Lloyd fell on the ground looking exhausted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the most powerful ninja in all the land next to the Master of Crystal, the Golden Ninja." Garmadon said mockingly as Lloyd had little golden dragons flying around his head making the students laugh at him hearing all of that while the ninja slapped they're faces.

"He's really changed... " Allison whispered to Spike who agreed with that after seeing this.

But this made Lloyd get extremely frustrated, and as he got up, he was about to charge up more of his Energy powers before Spike quickly came in and stopped him from harming anyone.
"Lloyd, don't! This won't make it any better!" Spike warned while he pulled his arms away to prevent him from using his power.

"Spike's right son, this is only a lesson." Garmadon said in agreement which made Lloyd calm down after hearing that.

"I'm sorry guys.. I didn't know what got into me.." Lloyd said with guilt for almost causing an incident.

"You let the anger take over, I know that feeling all to well." Garmadon assured as he gave him a pat on the shoulder, and he soon turned to everyone else to continue it.

"Now, let's divide into groups!" Garmadon instructed making everyone stand up to face whoever works best, Jay tried throwing a punch to Kai, but he quickly caught it and moved behind him before whacking him in the head again.

"Ow!" jay said with pain again while Garmadon watched over all of them.

"Perfect." Garmadon said with a proud look as everyone did this with eachother.

But just outside of the monastery, Zane was still looking over it and wondering how everyone's doing, but once he turned back to where the weapons are, he gasped with shock as he noticed they were suddenly gone! He quickly got up and looked around the forest for anything nearby, and he soon heard the bushes move nearby making him look towards the sound, and he saw a strange figure trying to run off with the Techno Blades.

Zane quickly put on his mask and ran after it quickly, he did a high jump in the air and jumped off the branches to make him reach the figure quicker, and once he was close enough, Zane screamed as he fell down on it and pinned them down, but to his surprise, he saw it was none other then Pixal who somehow found them here.
"Pixal? What are you doing here?!" Zane asked with surprise while taking off his mask.

"Discontinuing an old droid." Pixal said with anger before she headbutted him in the face making him back up for a moment, and she did a backflip to get herself back up, but when she tried kicking him in the chest, Zane caught her leg to stop it.

"You may call me old, but not slow!" Zane shouted before he roughly threw her into a nearby tree, he then took a rope that was next to him and whipped it around her which restrained her, and Pixal made a loud scream echoing through the area, even to where Spike and the others were who heard it.

"The Techno Blades!" Kai said with fear as they dropped what they were doing and they quickly ran outside to see what's wrong.

Everyone went out to the entrance, and were surprised to see Zane dragging a tied up Pixal to them while holding the Techno Blades.
"It's Pixal! But how did she find find us?" Cole asked with surprise seeing her here.

"How about we take her apart and find out?!" Kai asked with anger while marching up to her before Zane came in his way.

"Please, she was only doing what she was programmed to do, she may hold many answers, but perhaps there is an easier way." Zane suggested while he held out his Techno Blade making Garmadon look worried seeing it.

"No, I..." Garmadon was about to march up to stop it, but Jay quickly stopped him to calm him down.

"It's okay, they aren't weapons, they just hack into things." Jay assured as Zane held his blade over Pixal's head, and using it's power, Zane was able to hack in and restore Pixal to her normal self, having her eyes turn green again, and she soon looked surprised and worried on what's going on.

"Where am I? Why am I tied up?" Pixal asked with concern while Zane untied her so they could get answers.

"You mean you don't remember?" Spike asked with surprise knowing this.

"The Overlord had you under his control, but how did you find us?" Zane questioned as Pixal suddenly remembered all that's happened.

"They've mined Sensei Wu's memory, he knows all of your hiding places!" Pixal informed which worried everyone hearing it.

"My brother! Is.. is he okay?" Garmadon asked with fear for his safety.

"Yes, but the Overlord wants your son, his Golden Power is the only way he can escape the digital realm, and become real." Pixal explained worrying them even more.

"I still don't understand why we need these to stop him, how will these help?" Spike asked as everyone else took they're weapons again.

"I'm with Spike on this, what's so important with these things?" Kai questioned too looking at her.

"Because with all of them together, they can reboot the system, wipe the master computer clean, and destroy the Overlord virus for good." Pixal explained even more giving them more info on what to do.

"Whoa!" Allison and the others said with amazement hearing that, but Pixal gasped with surprise while remembering something even more important then that.

"What's wrong?" Nya asked with worry seeing this.

"I didn't come alone!" Pixal said with fear and realization on remembering it.

"What? Who else is with you!?" Jay asked with a worried look.

"Nindroids." Pixal answered which horrified all of them.

"Nindroids?!" Everyone shouted with shock while they all stayed together for wherever they were.

"Where are they?! I don't see any of them!" Jay asked as they looked around for them.

"There!" Allison shouted while she pointed up at the rooftop, and to everyone's shock and fear, they saw multiple newly built nindroids appear over the rooftops of the monastery and even were surrounding all of them at this exact moment.

"9 versus 18, probability of survival is 50% with the odds." Pixal replied as there was a slight chance this could work. Everyone screamed as they charged at the Nindroids with weapons drawn, Kai tried delivering a drop kick on one of the Nindroids which only grabbed his leg and threw him to the ground and disarming him, Spike tried to slash at another one with his weapon, but he was quickly taken down as one came behind him and grabbed his tail before throwing him into Allison which knocked them both into a wall painfully, and as Zane tried taking one down with his blade, the Nindroid ducked under him and threw him far off the ledge thanks to they're enhanced bodies.

"These Nindroids are so much fa..!" Jay shouted just before another elbowed him in the face and knocked them down, Cole quickly dodged one of the Nindroids kicks and had an idea on how to fight back.

"Nice kick! Now see mine! Ninja go!!" Cole screamed as he used his Spinjitzu and knocked one far away before he came out of it and kicked another in the face as a counter attack. Garmadon saw he was surrounded by a couple more of them from both areas, but he used his own art by putting his staff on the ground and jumping off of it while still holding onto it, and it made the Nindroids crash into eachother just like what happened before.

"Nice!" Spike complimented as he tried it himself with another nindroid next to him, it tried slashing him with his sword, but Spike quickly countered that by swiftly moving around it, and pushing it harshly into the same wall he crashed into which hurt it pretty badly.

"Well done Spike! Your a fast learner!" Garmadon complimented back while everyone was busy fighting these robots off, Zane was surrounded by more of them and restrained from moving, and while Lloyd quickly kicked one off the ledge nearby, he saw Zane was in trouble and tried using his power to save him before he was stopped again.

"No! Your power only strengthens them!" Nya warned which made Lloyd resort to running off the cliff and into the Nindroids surrounding Zane.

"Ninja go!!" Lloyd screamed again while he used his Spinjitzu forming his golden tornado, and it was enough to knock all of them away so he could save Zane, he was badly damaged as half his face was missing, and parts of him were damaged.

Allison used her swift movements to quickly slither around and avoid any slashes from the Nindroids, she used her spear and twirled it around at fast speeds before stabbing it through a nindroids head, followed up by removing it and slicing more off to try and destroy them.

But things got worse when even more Nindroids appeared from the cliffside far above them, with rocket booster's and glider's attached to them, they all began gliding down towards them to overwhelm them again.
"Oh come on!" Allison shouted with frustration as she ducked under another attack and grabbed it's arm before slamming it harshly in the ground.

"There's too many of them!" Spike screamed while he tried shooting some down with his crystal powers to hold them off.

"Everyone, we need to get out of here now!" Nya shouted which made everyone quickly run back into the monastery to escape them.

"We've got you now!" One of them said in a menacing tone while they ran out of the side of the building.

"Anyone wanna clear a path?" Jay suggested while they saw dozens of them all over the place.

"Yeah, I've got an idea!" Cole said with a smirk while he looked at the watermill right next to them.

The Nindroids were all crawling around the monastery just until the watermill suddenly collapsed, and it began rolling down the river and sped up before rolling over a couple of them, it was soon launched over a nearby rock and went flying over the wall, knocking the Nindroids down, and they all saw the vehicles' that belonged to the ninja were quickly taking off to escape.

"Attack!" One of them screamed which made the Nindroids chase after them in deadly machine's that could also fly, the vehicles tried going as far away as they can while the machine's kept chasing them, but once the general got a lock onto them, he shot some deadly fire blasts towards each of the vehicles, and with one single hit, they were all totaled and completely out of commission, making the general laugh sinisterly thinking they've won.

But what they didn't expect was that they weren't there, Spike and the others managed to hide themselves within the watermill from before, and started coming out of it after seeing they're alone.
"Nice idea Cole! That managed to drive them away for now." Allison complimented as they grouped up together again.

But it resulted in our new vehicle's getting totaled, what a waste." Spike said with disappointment knowing it.

"Sorry about that Spike, but it won't be long until they've figured out it was on auto pilot. We should get moving." Cole suggested as they were walking through the forest.

"I'm coming with you, if the Overlord wants my son, I'm not letting him out of my sight." Garmadon announced while Misako knew what she should do.

"I'll stay back and look after the monastery." Misako informed before she started to leave them alone to come up with a plan.

"Wait! If the Overlord is after me and the Techno Blades, shouldn't we split up just to be safe?" Lloyd suggested with a concerned look.

"Good thinking, Zane's falcon knows the secret location of my Samurai X cave, you and your father go and take what you need to get as far away as possible!" Nya ordered which they liked the sound of.

"Secret cave? I thought we knew everything about eachother.." Jay said with a sad look hearing that.

"A girls gotta have her secrets." Nya replied with a smile hearing it.

"Completely agree on that." Allison replied with a smile too.

"But there's still one problem we need to figure out, we need to figure out how we're gonna get into the city again." Spike reminded with a serious look.

"How are you all gonna do that?" Lloyd asked as Nya had the perfect plan on what to do.

"We're gonna shut down the power!" Nya informed surprising everyone for a moment.

But as this was happening, the Nindroids were searching for any signs of the ninja in they're vehicles, but soon enough, they've realized they were gone.
"What do you mean they're not there?!" Overlord asked with anger after hearing this report.

"We've been tricked!" Cryptor reported as the vehicles were still on fire in the background of the screen.

"Your nindroids have failed General Cryptor, but my next machine.. won't!" Overlord said evilly as he looked behind him, and within the factory of the tower, a new deadly machine that looked almost like a dragon had been built that would be used to hunt down Lloyd..

After everyone split up with eachother, they managed to get some help from a magician and some performers for a circus after a while of searching, and as the sun was rising the next day, and the driver was moving along through a mountain side humming to himself, he gasped with surprise upon being stopped by a bunch of nindroids who were blocking the way forward, and they had to stop him for an inspection.

The nindroids looked all over the vehicle for any signs of the ninja, but after searching every possible place, they didn't see they were here.
"No Ninja, want to check up my sleeves?" The magician asked while they started going back outside.

"You can go." The nindroid ordered while pointing ahead.

"Thank you. " the driver said politely while he started driving forward again as the laser grid blocking him powered down for a brief moment.

Once he made sure they were alone, the magician lightly tapped on the box which gave them the signal, and as it opened up, it was revealed that everyone else had hidden themselves within it.
"Wow, I still don't understand how that even worked!" Spike said with surprise with how they all somehow were able to fit in there.

"Isn't magic a thing in Equestria dad? Don't you see stuff like this all the time?" Allison asked while he helped her out of it.

"Eh.. it's more complicated then that.." Spike said with a shrug while everyone came out of it, including a clown that honked a small horn near Jay making him rub his head.

"We can get you just outside of the Storm Farms, but you'll have to get to the Power Substation on your own." The magician informed which was good enough for them.

"Thank you, you've already done enough, leave the rest to us." Allison said with a grateful look hearing it.

"Your welcome, good luck all of you! And abracadabra!" The magician replied before he waved his staff around and smoke appeared around them and made them disappear which made Jay cough roughly.

"Show off!" Jay said while he coughed roughly from all of that.

"So Nya, if we shut down this power station, will it really destroy the Overlord, and his nindroids by flipping a switch?" Cole questioned wanting a bit more detail.

"Cripple them, yes, destroy? No. Once we've powered down his army we still need to reboot the central computer with the Techno Blades. And don't forget, since he knows we have them, he's not just gonna let us waltz in." Nya informed which made Jay realize something.

"Whoa. Hold on a second. If shutting down the power turns off everything connected to it, wouldn't that mean Pixal too?" Jay asked concerned of the possibility.

"I.. think it does.." Spike said with guilt for seeing it could be possible.

"If it does happen, let's just hope Zane hasn't figured it out, don't tell him about it alright? If we're gonna come across more nindroids, then we need to be on our A game!" Cole instructed while Kai looked around for him.

"Speaking of which, where is Zane?" Kai asked with worry for where he is.

And thankfully, Zane was getting repairs from Pixal after he was badly damaged in the fight, he was damaged really hurt from it, and he was very grateful for her help.
"Thank you for repairing me, I guess an old nindroid like me is no match for the newer models." Zane said gratefully as she was almost finished up.

"This is just one of my primary functions, gratitude is not required. " Pixal replied with a blank look while she kept repairing him, but after moving around for a bit more, she suddenly discovered something which completely surprised her, something within Zane's chest, a power source which glowed brightly, and was unlike anything she's seen before.

"Fascinating..." Pixal said with surprise while looking at it.

"What is it?" Zane asked with a curious look.

"Your power source.. it's unlike any technology I'm familiar with. Your father built you with spare parts, yet this piece is.. unique. Perhaps if I take a closer look?" Pixal suggested while she lightly touched it, but that made Zane's body spark very roughly which hurt him a bit, and Pixal quickly backed up after seeing it.

"I'm sorry, I caused you pain, I was just curious to understand why your so different." Pixal apologized with a regretful look, but Zane only lightly grabbed her hands and gave her an assuring smile, standing up and looking almost as good as new.

"We're all different. But I don't feel so different around you." Zane said as he looked at her, but Pixal couldn't see it yet and soon let go of him.

"I am not different, I am Pixal. the Primary Interactive X-ternal Assistant Life-form, and your repairs are complete." Pixal said as Zane's chest closed before she left, leaving Zane feeling a bit sad about it.

And far away from there, Lloyd and Garmadon were following Zane's falcon to Nya's secret cave hidden far in the dessert, it lead them to a very old looking skeleton with a button that had the Samurai X symbol on it.
"This must be the place." Lloyd said with a smile as he pressed on the button, and that made the skeleton's mouth open up, revealing a secret cave that was built inside of it.

Lloyd and Garmadon made they're way down the entrance, and as they went through another door, they were amazed to see so many different mech's and different technical equipment she managed to build overtime.
"Whoa! When did Nya have the time to build all of this?!" Lloyd asked with amazement seeing it.

"Maybe I should've been a samurai instead." Lloyd said as they walked over to a special looking vehicle that was covered up, but once Garmadon removed the cover, it revealed a newly built machine with a lot of weapons attached, and could go at really fast speeds.

"Why must everything have so many weapons?" Garmadon asked with an upset look seeing it in front of them.

"Says the man who used his four arms to possess the Golden Weapons." Lloyd joked making Garmadon chuckle a bit with an embarrassed look.

"I deserved that." Garmadon told himself while Lloyd was about to take the wheel before Garmadon came in his way.

"Hold on, I swore off fighting, not driving." Garmadon said with a smile while they got an idea, a loud engine could be heard as the exit of the cave opens, and Garmadon cheers as he drives the vehicle as fast as it can and across a large cliffside.

"Where too now?!" Lloyd shouted as the thing landed on the other side and kept on driving at fast speeds.

"As far away as possible!" Garmadon shouted back while they drove to wherever would be safe for them.

We cut back to the circus vehicle everyone else was using to get to the power station, they were all taking in they're time to prepare for a tough battle, and while everyone was resting, Cole was reading a Starfarer comic as Nya was walking by, and Cole got a little curious over something important.
"Hey Nya, how are our kids?" Cole asked which made Nya drop the magazine she was holding to hide herself.

"Our kids? Why would we have kids? I mean, We're not even married, let alone.." Nya said right before Cole stopped her.

"I mean our students, weirdo. I'm worried about them, ever since we left the school, I'm worried for them." Cole corrected which made her remember what happened after that.

"Oh, sorry, Darreth's looking after them." Nya informed while she stayed silent for a few more moments before deciding to say something to him.

"You know Cole, you don't get the credit you deserve." Nya said politely while she sat down across from him.

"What do you mean?" Cole asked as he looked away from his comic.

" I mean, you always put others ahead of yourself, I know Spike and the other's get all the attention, but, I just want to let you know, your a good guy." Nya said with a smile which made Cole smile back, but he was able to see where she was going with this easily, and politely raised his hand hearing it.

"Thanks Nya, it's nice to have a friend like you, but just to let you know, we're just friends okay? I don't wanna get in between you and Jay, alright?" Cole asked as he didn't wanna come in between them.

"Oh.. of course, just friends." Nya said with a bit of disappointment as the doors opened up, and Allison and everyone else came into the room to meet up with them.

"Everything alright guys?" Allison hissed while slithering up to them.

"We're fine Allison, just having a small talk." Cole said with a smile while he stood up to avoid causing concern on what she was meaning with it.

"You sure nothing was happening before we came in here?" Jay asked while looking at Nya who tried to brush that off.

"Positive Jay, nothing was happening I promise." Nya assured while Spike looked out the window.

"Well whatever was going on, we all better be ready." Spike said as lightning was flashing out the window.

"We're here guys." Kai announced while everyone started to leave the vehicle.

Everyone met up with eachother and stood outside of the power station like Nya planned out, lightning flashed nearby them which scared Pixal a bit, and Zane quickly stood by her to calm her down.
"Careful, this is where they farm the electricity in the air. This is where all of Ninjago get's it's power!" Zane informed as thunder and lightning could be seen within the sky.

"And it looks like there's a welcoming party too." Kai said as they looked towards the tower, and could see dozens of nindroids all over the place.

"The only way to get inside is to stay out of sight, there's no way we can take them all at once." Nya said while they saw the large number surrounding the place.

"You mean we get to be ninja for a change? Woo hoo!" Jay cheered making Spike role his eyes.

"Isn't that what we already are Jay?" Spike asked playfully while he cracked his knuckles a bit.

"Wish I could turn invisible by now.." Allison told herself as that ability could come in handy right now.

I'll stay back, I am not built for stealth and cannot assist you." Pixal announced while she backed up a bit before Zane put his hands on her shoulders and looked at her again.

"Be safe, and stay out of sight, I'll see you later." Zane said as he and the others turned to the station and got ready to go.

And on the station , Cryptor and his nindroids stood on guard ready for anything that will come, they lined up against eachother, and Cryptor looked over all of them for further orders.
"Be on the lookout for those ninja, the Overlord says they are sure to be coming." Cryptor ordered before he noticed there was a much smaller nindroid that looked a lot different then the others.

"Look at you, last one on the factory line? Ran out of metal eh? I shall call you, Minidroid." Cryptor joked while patting it's head which angered it, but made the other nindroids laugh in response while they started marching around the station.

Just below the platform, Spike and everyone else climbed up the metal pipes as lightning flashed in the sky, they used they're stealth skills to make it up to the top without being seen yet, after helping eachother jump over a higher ledge, they opened a door and finally made it into the center of the place.
"Wow.." Allison with surprise as they saw a huge energy core within the center of the place.

"That's the substations core, if we shut that down, it's lights out for the Overlord. Now if only we knew which switch.." Nya said with worry while they all split up and tried finding a way to shut it off.

"Ugh, why wouldn't they just have a big red button that said off switch or something?" Spike asked with frustration as he looked around the place.

Jay played around with a couple buttons for a minute, but once he pressed on a certain switch, it started to play a song they all know and are familiar with.
"Hey I love this song!" Jay said playfully while he bopped his head to the music.

"Turn that off, we can't let anyone know we're here!" Kai said with an annoyed look making Jay turn it off.

"Why is that song the only thing I keep hearing?" Allison asked while shaking her head again.

"None of these buttons are doing anything. There has to be an easier way" Cole informed as Kai looked at the core getting an idea.

"Yeah, like maybe just hack the system?" Kai asked as he took out his blade and tried to strike it, but the glass was way too tough to have any damage done to it, and it made Kai growl with frustration seeing that.

"Stupid technology!" Kai said with frustration on seeing this.

"This can't be harder then it looks." Cole said as he took out his weapon next and swung it around, but once he hit it, the weapon deflected off of it which made him shake from it's impact.

"Okay.. definitely harder." Cole corrected himself as Spike crossed his arms looking at it.

"There's gotta be a way to shut this place down.." Spike said as he looked around for anything that could help.

But just outside the room they were in, the Minidroid from before had lowered down a ladder to follow the others, but it soon could hear something nearby.
"Button, button, who's got the button?" Jay asked from within the walls which drew the Mindroid closer to where he heard it.

"Be quiet!" Cole whispered with frustration while it looked near the vents.

"I am being quiet, you be quiet!" Jay argued back, and that made it realize the ninja were here, and it quickly drew it's weapon to alert the others.

"Ninja!" Cryptor said with anger getting the other nindroids attention.

Pixal was able to detect they were spotted, and she could see the other nindroids charging at the door that was sealed shut.
"The ninja have been discovered! Operation jeopardized, calculating probability of success by.. oh.. who cares about probability?!" Pixal asked herself before she started running towards the station, she used a built in grapple within her arm to shoot a grapple to the top of it, and she used it to swing up to the ledge to stop it as Cryptor stood near the door.

"Knock knock." Cryptor said with a menacing tone while they were about to barge in, but as Pixal grappled herself to the ledge above, she unfortunately got caught within the red laser that set off the alarms, making Cryptor turn to her before shooting a laser to her, and she quickly did a backflip to try and avoid it.

The alarms were going off from within the station now where everyone could hear it, Nya looked at the camera feed from outside and saw the nindroids knew they were here.
"Nindroids! Our cover is blown! Seal the door and find a way to shut it down!" Nya said with fear just as Zane noticed Pixal was being attacked out there.

"Pixal! Don't seal the doors, I'm going out there!" Zane announced which made Allison come in his way to stop him.

"Zane, don't! You got really hurt the last time you faced them! There's no way you can take them on your own!" Allison argued as Zane pushed past her to help.

"I'm sorry Allison, but I'm not gonna leave her out there!" Zane shouted as Cole opened the door just a small bit for him to slip through, but that unfortunately let the Minidroid slip inside it too before it noticed them and raised it's weapon at them.

"Aw, great, now they come in fun size!" Jay said with frustration seeing this.

Far away from the power station, Lloyd and Garmadon were trying to rest as the night gave them time to rest, Lloyd was drinking some water nearby while Garmadon yawned tiredly on the vehicle they took, but as Lloyd finished up with getting a drink, to his shock and fear, he saw a huge flying machine with deadly buzzsaw's and blades flying to them through the water which Garmadon also saw.
"We need to go, now!" Garmadon said seriously while Lloyd quickly got up, he ran towards the vehicle as the machine was able to scan him to confirm he is Lloyd, and quickly hopped onto the top of the vehicle to get going.

"Come on, start!" Garmadon prayed as he tried pulling the switch to start it, but Lloyd used his powers to get the vehicle going, and they quickly turned around and tried driving away as fast as they could.

"He's gaining on us!" Lloyd shouted while he looked behind them.

"Well maybe this thing has an afterburner!" Garmadon prayed while he saw a button nearby and pressed it, but that made the spare weapon that was attached to the vehicle turn around and shoot a blast near the machine which barely avoided it, annoying Garmadon even more.

"Curse these weapons." Garmadon told himself while he tried to keep driving as the machine was flying after them even faster then before.

Back with Zane, he was charging towards the other nindroids as lightning flashed over the sky.
"Ninja go!!" Zane screamed as he used Spinjitzu again to knock a few of them off the ledge, he then ducked under a sword slash before kicking one in the face, and he then blocked multiple strikes from another before throwing it over the ledge too, and headbutting one more nearby to make it malfunction.

He quickly turned towards Cryptor who was holding her by the shirt, and Zane quickly charged at him and drew his Techno Blade, while he tried to attack him, Cryptor caught the weapon with his spare hand barely any effort.

"The original Nindroid, your nothing more then a tin can with feelings!" Cryptor mocked while Zane struggled to push him back, and Cryptor threw Zane far away which disarmed him and made his blade fall to a ledge below. Cryptor then threw Pixal to the wall and drew his swords while he charged at Zane, Zane ducked under his slashes and hit him in the face to disarm him, he tried striking at him multiple times, but Cryptor easily avoided it and kicked Zane far away even more. Cryptor soon marched up to him and turned invisible to finish the job as they were trying to get up.

"Zane, watch out!" Pixal warned just as Zane was hit in the chest multiple times before he had his head slammed against the wall, that made him fall on his knees as Cryptor laughed menacingly before he finally revealed himself again.

"Welcome to the future!" Cryptor said menacingly while looking down at him.

Everyone else was trying to shut down the power inside while also trying to fight off the Minidroid, Spike quickly flipped over one of it's sword slashes before they met up with eachother, and the Minidroid tried doing a dangerous spinning move to take them down.
"Try hacking them!" Spike shouted as Cole drew his weapon again and tried to do it, but the chain was deflected from the attack which surprised him.

"I'm trying! I gotta hand it to the runt, he doesn't know when to quit!" Cole said with frustration which made the Mindroid stop spinning after hearing it.

"Quit?!" The Minidroid asked with anger which surprised everyone hearing it.

"Watch out!" Allison shouted while she pushed Cole out of the way from a laser blast, but that blast hit the glass that was protecting the core, making it crack roughly upon impact, and that's when Kai finally realized it.

"That's it! Fight without Fighting!" Kai said while getting a plan on what to do.

"This is no time for a lesson Kai!" Jay shouted while he jumped in front of it to make it attack.

"Hey! half pint! Over here!" Kai shouted in a mocking tone which made the Minidroid more angry, it shot a laser at him which he barely avoided too, making the glass crack even more.

"Wait, that's it!" Spike said with realization while they looked at the Mindroid.

"We need to provoke the guy more!" Kai shouted to the other's before Cole got another idea.

"Or more Nindroids! Nya, open the door!" Cole shouted to her who understood it perfectly.

"I see where your headed!" Nya shouted before she ran to the door and opened it up, and that made every other nindroid run inside to start firing on everyone else. They used they're skills to flip over each and every laser blast which could hopefully destroy the core.

"Come on, just a little more!" Allison screamed while backflipping away from more shots. Spike drew his blade and deflected a few shots into the glass which was making it weaker by the second.

"It's working!" Nya said with hope before we cut back to Lloyd and Garmadon who were still being chased by the machine.

"Look out!" Lloyd screamed as the thing flew right over them, and it soon used one of it's buzzsaw's which Lloyd ducked under just in time, only slicing off the small flag on the vehicle, but then the thing started flying back towards them as Garmadon drove as fast as he could.

"This is why I took an oath of peace!" Garmadon shouted while he looked very worried.

Spike and everyone else kept on flipping over each and every attack, using what Garmadon taught them to their advantage, but once the Minidroid tried finishing them off with a air drop, everyone quickly dodged it which sent it directly into the core, finally shattering the glass which began overloading the system.

The Minidroid began floating around from within it, feeling an overwhelming amount of power flow through it before it, and all the other nindroids realized what was about to happen.
"Uh oh.." The Minidroid said just before it exploded and sent an extremely powerful shockwave across all of Ninjago.

The blast quickly spread through every part of Ninjago, the wave being able to completely shut down all the power across it, shutting down the machine that was chasing Lloyd and Garmadon just in time, even they're own vehicle too, it quickly stopped as the thing flew past them, and had crashed down in the path ahead of them, completely shut off after it was hit with the blast.

Lloyd and Garmadon started to cheer with joy while Ninjago City soon powered down too, every single vehicle, machine, and anything that needed power was turned off, including the Overlord. The people of Ninjago cheered too with joy after all was finally shut down, and they could rest easier since it's all off.

But back at the power station, Spike and everyone else was just about to leave after they finished the job
"We did it!" Kai cheered while they came out of the station, but they soon saw Zane was holding Pixal in his arms, who unfortunately was affected by the blast.

"This is why I wanted to s.. stay behind, so you.. wouldn't see me.. l .. like this.. " Pixal said weakly while her eyes were flickering on and off.

"You knew this would happen?" Zane asked with fear for what's happening with her.

"Your mission was important, I was not.. I am to assist.. I assisted.." Pixal said weakly while everyone looked really awful for what's happening to her.

"Your using up your reserve, don't say anything more until we find you more power!" Zane said as he tried finding anything to prevent this.

"You've destroyed the only power source in Ninjago, power will all be nonexistent.." Pixal said as she lightly took his hand like how Zane did before.

"We are not so different, are we? We are.. compatible?" Pixal asked with a small smile while looking at him.

"Yes. Yes we are.." Zane said small smile too, and sadly, she soon lost the power she had, her body shut down, and her arm layed flat on the ground, leaving everyone feeling awful for this.

"I'm sorry Zane.. we'll find a way to help her, I promise." Spike said as they all looked over her with regret for what's happened, even if they've shut down the power and saved Ninjago for now, it wasn't without a cost.

And far off with Garmadon and Lloyd, lightning flashed as they came out of they're vehicle.
"Is it safe to go back now?" Lloyd asked hopefully while they climbed over the large machine from before.

"They may have turned off the power, but they still need to reboot the system, until we know the Overlord is gone for good, we need to keep moving." Garmadon said as they continued on as the sun rose in the sky, there was still much to be done, and they hoped that soon enough, they'll be able to return to their friends soon.

Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! Sorry I didn't update in a bit, but there was a bit more I was working on that had me busy for a while, but I hope with what I did with this chapter was good to you! I decided not to have Allison go with Lloyd and Garmadon like I previously thought could work, even though it would've been interesting, I've got a few more ideas that will help her blend in with the next episodes, so I hope you don't mind this.

I hope I'm doing well with this season so far, there's a bit more that will be happening later on, but I hope I'm handling Spike and Allison well so far with this season, I just hope this chapter was good, and hope you have a good day!
