We open to a scene where Garmadon and Lloyd after they had been traveling across Ninjago for a while now, Garmadon was trying to help Lloyd control his strength with the help of dozens of large rocks that were on his back, and even though Lloyd was struggling to keep them all balanced, Garmadon was only putting more of them on by the second while giving him another lesson.
"We underestimated the important balance. When it's there, we're at peace. If something is off, everything falls." Garmadon instructed while putting one more small rock on the huge pile Lloyd was carrying which made it harder for him to hold onto.

"Ninjago is no different, it put too much faith in technology, allowing the Overlord to return, after you and Spike worked so hard to defeat him. And it is because of him and your friends, the world is without power now." Garmadon said while he looked down at Lloyd who was trying as hard as he can not to let go of it.

"When one relies on something too much, we become weak, vulnerable, imbalanced." Garmadon continued while they could hear and see the falcon flying by after they've started traveling over mountains far into Ninjago at this point.

"In order to find your full potential and unlock your true power, you must find your own balance. Spike's already accomplished this by harnessing all of his power, and making a completely new element to call his own, the power of Crystal, and if he can do it, so can you." Garmadon explained which confused him a bit more.

"Spike and I achieved that thanks to the help of our friends, but I'm already the Gold Ninja, how much more power do I need?" Lloyd asked while he was struggling greatly.

"You've only scratched the surface, you have the potential to move mountains! As for Spike, I can only imagine what he could be able to achieve with his new power, he's only started to harness it, maybe one day, he'll even have powers similar to yours." Garmadon theorized as his potential was just as limitless as Lloyd's.

"Spike and the other's already destroyed the power substation, essentially destroying the Overlord, and his Nindroids. Why can't we go back?" Lloyd asked with worry as Garmadon picked up an even larger boulder then before with surprising strength.

"Essentially? Until we know the Overlord is gone for good, we must not go back, but forward!" Garmadon said as he used his strength to place the large rock on the pile, and that finally made Lloyd collapse from all the weight he was carrying, letting all the rocks he had fall on him as a result.

"If you can't move mountains, then I guess we'll have to move over mountains." Garmadon suggested while Lloyd made a loud scream and burst through the rocks holding him down while he was looking ready to go.

"Oh yeah?" Lloyd shouted to him as Garmadon jumped down and landed by his side so they can get going.

"And this next one looks particularly steep." Garmadon said as they saw the falcon flying through the path that could help them move forward, it's gonna be a long journey, and they need to try and keep going.

But far away from where they were, within Borg tower after the power was shut off, some construction workers were seen walking through the shut down factory looking for something, but as they're lights flash down on something nearby, they finally found who they were looking for, Cyrus Borg.
"Over here! I found him!" One of them shouted which made the rest run up to help him out of here, they took off the metal parts on his head while Borg groaned weakly, and finally woke up after being taken over like that.

"Are you alright Mr. Borg?" One of them asked as they helped him up to move.

"Yes Yes, I'm fine, but how long have I been out?" Borg asked with concern with how everything's been shut down.

"Quite a while sir, we've been without power for a few days." The worker said while they brought out a wheelchair for him to move around better.

They helped him move up the long flight of stairs to his office to find something important, Borg was extremely worried about everything right now, and as they finally reached the top, they could see it was still nighttime for where they are, the power was completely off, but Borg noticed something extremely worrying near the central computer.
"The hard drive! It's missing! Have the Ninja returned with the Techno Blades? Please it's very important." Borg asked hopefully while looking at the worker.

"Uh no, there's been no one else inside the building." He replied just as Borg remembered something else that worried him.

"Wu!" Borg said as he quickly moved himself over to the table Wu was strapped too after he was captured.

"He was right here! Where is he? And who would take the hard drive with the Overlord virus still on it? Oh.. so many questions, so few answers.." Borg said with fear while the workers were worried hearing all of this.

But as the camera shifts far away from where they were, it moves down far below the tower and into the sewers where something they didn't know was hiding, as the camera moves through the vents and into a bright light, we see a strange figure with a white hood and red eyes holding the hardrive that was stolen, he placed it inside a powered generator that was still operational, and the Overlord appears on a computer just above him after being shut down.
"Where am I?! The ninja and that irritating dragon destroyed all the power! How have you saved me?" Overlord asked with shock while he looked down at the sinister figure below him who looked towards a container full of creatures giving his machine's power.

"Electro-cobrai, though they're extremely rare, they're extremely useful." He answered while motioning to them before turning back to him.

"Who are you? What do you want from me?!" Overlord questioned once more.

"Nothing more then a small favor after returning you to power. You still do want to return to flesh, if I'm not mistaken?" He asked while he put on a rubber glove to protect him from the electricity.

"Yes of course! But, I need the Golden Ninja." Overlord said as the figure started to take out one of the cobrai from before.

"You'll get your hands on him in time, our power is limited, and we must be wise in our next step. Ninjago is vast, and the Golden Ninja could be anywhere." He said as he was taking the cobrai somewhere else to power something.

"Yes still, the ninja still have the only weapons that could erase you." He said before he raised the cobrai over a familiar figure who had been turned into a cyborg like what happened with Borg, it's arms start to move, and it's eyes open revealing a red color showing he's under they're control before he stands up, showing his familiar shadow on the wall.

"The old man knows everything about the ninja, even that little dragon and his Anacondrai daughter, all of their secrets, all of their hideouts. He will find them in no time!" The figure said sinisterly as the robot marches over to them.

"Yes, yes!" Overlord shouted with malice before we cut to where Spike and the others were.

Everyone was currently within the junkyard that belonged to Jay's parents after the power was destroyed, they didn't have any current ways to get back to the city without proper transportation, and they needed to make something in order to get somewhere. Allison was helping Kai and Cole with the huge amount of junk piles there were all over the place so they could find the parts they need, but they haven't found anything yet.
"Ugh, how much junk does this place have?! We've been at this for over a day!" Allison asked with frustration while they tried moving the massive piles around them.

"Tell me about it! We've been digging for so long, I've almost forgotten what we're even looking for!" Cole complained while he helped Allison move things around.

"A jiggly compact compress converter, or was that a compress compact jiggly converter? Whatever it is, if it can help us get back to New Ninjago City any sooner, it's worth finding!" Kai answered while he tried pulling something out which Allison noticed would make the thing collapse.

"Kai, wait!" Allison shouted just before he pulled on it, and that unfortunately started to make the entire pile of junk they've been stacking began to fall over.

"Ahh!!" The three of them screamed just as the pile all came crashing down on them while Jay and Ed were watching from a distance away from them.

"We're okay!" Allison shouted as the three of them groaned from what just happened before Jay turned to Ed.

"We shut off the power, thinking we could just waltz in, but nooo, we didn't stop to think we were like a bajillion miles away!" Jay complained before he noticed the thing they were looking for finally.

"Hey! A compact compressed jiggly compressor!" Jay said as he picked the thing up which hopefully made it easier for them.

"Oh great find kiddo! Now all we need to adapt the Hover Copter's power supply to solar power, is an upside down router derouter-ma-bob and a whiz bang automated amplifier." Ed instructed which confused everyone who heard it.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Allison asked tiredly while she sat down to rest for a bit.

"I'm starting to think he's making this stuff up." Kai said tiredly while they sighed from exhaustion after all they've been working on.

"At least dad's gotten the easy job.." Allison said as they looked over to the golden trailer Ed and Edna got after Ninjago was saved.

Within it, Spike, Nya and Zane were currently working to restore power to Pixal, they've been trying multiple different ways to do it for days, but while Spike had an idea that could help, they decided to try and split Zane's power source to power her again.

Nya carefully picked off a small piece of Zane's power source which made him gasp with pain and soon looked weaker after that, Spike patted him on the back and looked really worried for what could happen from this.
"Easy there Zane, we're doing what we can to try and help." Spike warned while Zane was recovering after having part of it removed.

"Are you sure you wanna do this? Modifying your original design could have.. unintentional consequences?" Nya asked with worry while Edna was watching nearby with hope they could power her.

"I could try and use my powers to bring her back, I still have some control over Lightning like Jay does." Spike suggested while he formed crystal in his hands again, and it turned blue with sparks of lightning to prove it.

"I appreciate the offer Spike, but I want to do this my own way, she risked her life for me, it's the least i can do to get her back." Zane replied which made Spike sigh again and the crystal he had disappeared after hearing that.

"If your sure about it Zane." Spike said with worry while he went back to Nya.

Nya soon inserted the part she took from Zane and put it into Pixal, and that power was more then enough to finally bring her back, and she gasped with shock and finally opened her eyes again after what happened.
"Where am I? What happened?" Pixal questioned while she noticed all of them were here to help her, but when she looked towards Zane, she saw that half of his power supply was missing, and she realized what they did to bring her back.

"You gave me half your power source. My processor does not compute." Pixal said with confusion at the sight of this.

"Your the only one who knows Borg's system. You are vital to the mission, and.. you are vital to me." Zane said with a smile while he reached out for her hand, and it made her smile hearing that too while everyone else was watching this.

"Ooh, robot love." Edna said in a sweet tone while Spike smiled proudly seeing this.

"After all he's been through, he deserves it. They're perfect for eachother aren't they?" Spike asked playfully while looking to her.

"Couldn't agree with you more Spike, if they have half of what Nya and Jay have..." Edna said before Pixal got confused hearing that pairing.

"Nya and Jay? Judging from Perfect Match compatibility, perhaps Nya and Cole would be a better comparison." Pixal suggested which shocked everyone.

"Wait what?! Why would that even be a matchup?! I don't think Nya and Cole even had proper talks together before this even happened!" Spike complained already thinking this sounded stupid.

"How could Nya and Cole be a better match?" Edna questioned too while Zane had trouble processing this too.

"Don't you mean Nya and Jay? Perhaps her processor was damaged?" Zane suggested with concern while Pixal looked and felt fine after being revived.

"My processor is fully operational, the perfect match for Nya isn't Jay, but Cole." Pixal concluded which shocked everyone.

"C.. Cole's her perfect match?!" Jay shouted with shock just as he, Ed and Allison walked into the place when they were talking about it.

"What the heck did we just walk into?!" Allison hissed while she slithered up to Spike who was just as confused over this. Jay looked really upset over hearing this, and Nya looked down with guilt and tried to comfort him.

"Jay.." Nya said with worry while she walked over to him, but just before she could grab his hands, Cole and Kai just walked into the room after finishing up with they're task earlier.

"Huh, it's so quiet in here, what'd I miss? Another signature Jay Walker gut buster?" Cole joked while Jay was getting really mad at Cole after hearing that before he turned to him looking furious.

"Y.. you! BACKSTABBING NO GOOD..! AHH!!" Jay screamed before he suddenly lunged at Cole and tackled him to the wall which shocked everyone in the room.

"What's wrong with you?!" Cole shouted as punching sounds were heard as the camera pins out from the trailer.

"Ugh, I hope Lloyd's fairing better then us." Kai prayed while the place was shaking around from what's happening.

"I can see why you hate technology Kai, I hate this." Spike complained since this was already so stupid to him.

Lloyd and Garmadon were currently traveling through the mountains still, they had soon come upon an old bridge that was completely destroyed, leaving them without a proper way forward at the moment, but Lloyd didn't feel too concerned about this with what he can do.
"Hey, who needs bridges when you can manifest the Golden Dragon too.." Lloyd said before Garmadon interrupted him again to speak something else.

"You rely too much on your golden power, let this be a lesson. Center yourself, and move the mountain with your mind.." Garmadon instructed while pointing at the large mountain far in the distance which surprised Lloyd.

"Move that?! Are you kidding?" Lloyd asked with shock while pointing at the thing.

"Find your balance, concentrate." Garmadon instructed with a calm tone making Lloyd sigh hearing it.

Lloyd looked towards the mountain and tried to focus his power, he raised his hand towards the mountain and grunted weakly as the thing started to shake from his overwhelming power, the rocks from the mountain began to break apart and float towards the place they were. But Lloyd didn't feel strong enough to handle all of it, and he screamed as the rocks tried forming a bridge for them to cross, but they soon exploded and were knocked away after it was too much for Lloyd which made him groan in frustration.
"This is pointless! Especially when I can do this!" Lloyd shouted before he harnessed his power and used it to form his Golden Dragon again, he flew in the air and had the dragon shoot a large stream of fire which formed a golden bridge of power across the ledge for them to walk across before he finished up and landed back down near Garmadon who looked disappointed a bit.

"I'm not the First Spinjitzu Master, and I never wanted to be. I'm the Golden Ninja!" Lloyd said proudly while he walked across it as Garmadon slapped his face.

"I know, I was once like this too." Garmadon said with a sigh while they kept moving forward through the mountains.

Back with what was happening with everyone else, Jay was still furious with Cole after finding out about this, and he pinned him to the wall with a look of anger.
"Do you know why your the Black Ninja Cole?! Because it's the color of your heart!" Jay insulted which made Cole try to fight back finally.

"Oh yeah? Well what's the point of being the Blue Ninja?! Unless your trying to hide out in some goofy clown college!" Cole countered just as a hover copter was flying into the junkyard outside without them noticing.

"Ooh you take that back! There are reputable performers that attend clown college!" Jay shouted while he was pushing Cole back as everyone watched. And as this was happening, a metal staff soon slammed on the ground, revealing a controlled Wu who was turned evil from the Overlord with Electro Cobrai on his staff.

Jay and Cole were still pinning eachother down while Cole was having enough of this, and he tried talking Jay out of this.
"I don't know why you wanna settle this with arm wrestling! You know I have super strength!" Cole shouted as the controlled Wu throws a car far away from the place, and he places his staff near the shut down nindroids nearby nearby, and he brings his staff to them which makes the nindroids spark up and finally power back on thanks to they're power.

"Oh yeah? Well I'm super hooped, and I haven't brushed my teeth in a week!" Jay countered before he exhaled in Cole's face which made him groan in disgust from it's awful smell.

"Alright you two, that's enough!" Spike shouted with anger while used his strength to pull Jay away from him while Allison coiled around Cole to stop him too.

"You both are looking like idiots from this!" Allison hissed while they were pulling them away from eachother, but what they didn't know was that the nindroids that were powered up took control of a nearby crane with a magnet on it, and they began moving it towards the trailer to attack them all.

"Allison's right! This macho stuff is making you both look like fools! Maybe you belong together!" Nya shouted while she crossed her arms from seeing this.

But before any of them could keep arguing, the nindroids soon raised the magnet over the trailer which made it get sucked into it shocking everyone.
"What was that?!" Kai asked with worry while the crane was lifting the trailer up, and everyone opens the door to see what's going on.

"The machine's haven't worked since the outage! What's powering it?" Ed asked with worry before they looked towards the crane carrying them.

"Nindroids! The better question is, what's powering them?!" Kai shouted as the Nindroid pulled the lever and began spinning the crane around to spiral them out of control.

"Hang on!!" Spike screamed while he grabbed Allison's hand to protect her.

"They're after the Techno Blades!" Pixal said with fear as Cryptor climbs up on a nearby pile, he laughs evilly before shooting a laser at the trailer which was destroying the walls around it.

"Yeah, well they almost hit my mother!" Jay screamed while they looked towards them who were getting ready to escape with jetpacks they made.

"Oh don't worry about us sweetie, we prepare for every type of situation." Edna assured surprising everyone.

"Did you make one for me?" Jay asked with a hopeful look.

"Uh, sorry honey, you hardly ever come to visit." Edna replied while they put some goggles on.

"Yeah, good luck kiddo! Watch over the junk while we're gone now will ya?" Ed asked before they activated they're jet packs and took off thanks to a ton of bubble's that shot out from them, they soon flew off and away from the junkyard from they're own safety, and one of the bubble's fell on Cryptor's eye which made him scream from feeling it.

"I blame you for this!" Jay accused while looking at Cole who was just as annoyed with this as everyone else.

"What did I do? You were the one born at a junk heap full of nindroids!" Cole countered as the thing kept swinging around even faster.

"Enough you two! We may not have our powers, but we still know Spinjitzu! Are you gonna be okay?" Kai asked while turning to Pixal.

"I may not be built to fight, but my protective reflexes should suffice." Pixal replied as Spike put Allison on his back to get ready.

"I still have my Elemental Dragon, so we'll be fine, get ready guys!" Spike screamed while they braced themselves. The Minidroid soon raised the crane far into the air which turned it upside down, and everyone screamed as the trailer went falling back down, and the Minidroid finally let go of it to send it flying.

"Ninja go!!" Everyone screamed while they used Spinjitzu to get off of it, and Spike used his Elemental Dragon to save himself and Allison from harm, but as they flew off, Zane couldn't use Spinjitzu while he held onto Pixal's hand, and they soon noticed it was heading right towards the pile where Cryptor was.

"Uh oh!" He said with fear before he quickly jumped off it while the trailer slammed roughly into it, and it crashed down to the ground just as everyone else landed on the crane with they're Techno Blades drawn.

"Zane!" Spike said with fear for his safety over what just happened.

"I couldn't do Spinjitzu..." Zane said with shock while Pixal realized what was wrong.

"Your heart.. dividing it must've inhibited your fighting ability." Pixal suggested while looking at him.

"I guess I have poor timing." Zane said with a small smile making her smile back. But he soon noticed Cryptor was standing above them in the distance, and he quickly rolled them out of the way as he began firing lasers at them while everyone else was watching.

"We have to help Zane!" Jay shouted as he and Cole climbed down the crane.

"Finally something we agree on!" Cole replied just as they landed on the ground, and they tried running across the place, but someone pressed on a button which opened up a trap door below them which made them fall into a crusher before the doors closed above them.

"We're trapped!" Cole said with fear while they got back up while Jay looked annoyed realizing something.

"Ugh, and with my own worst enemy too!" Jay insulted making Cole exhale at him again in response, but they're argument was stopped once they noticed the walls began closing in on them, making them terrified of what will happen if they don't escape.

"I'm too cute to be squashed!" Jay screamed while they tried finding a way to escape.

"Someone stop this thing!!" Cole screamed from inside it as Spike and Allison were fighting off a few nindroids surrounding them.

"Bad Nindroid! Bad Nindroid!" Nya shouted as she slammed the Minidroids face against the wall just as Allison stabbed one of them through it's chest to destroy it.

"Forget these guys! We need to save Jay and Cole!" Allison shouted while slithering along with Kai to the crusher they were trapped in.

"Guys!" Kai screamed while the two of them screamed with terror as the walls closed in even more. But as Spike met up with them, the figure causing all of this walked up to them, and they all gasped with horror once they saw who it was.

"No.. it can't be.." Allison said with horror with what they're seeing.

"Wu..." Spike said with terror as they look at him. and it's shown to be a controlled Wu who was turned into a cyborg, he had red eyes and a black beard with a metal hat, and robotic parts all around him to give him strength.

"Sensei Wu, what have they done to you?!" Kai asked just as the robotic Wu screams and hit all three of them extremely harshly with his staff, and before they could even react, the Tech Wu lunges at them and kicks them far away with one hard hit making them scream from how far they went.

"Nya! You have to stop the junk compactor!" Kai shouted while he and Spike drew they're techno blades again to try and fight him back.

"I'm on it!" Nya shouted before she threw Minidroid towards Allison who wrapped her tail around it and hissed as she began doing what she can to take it down.

"Wu, stop! We don't wanna do this!" Spike begged while he tried blocking Tech Wu's attacks which was getting harder with each strike, Spike used his strength and parried the last attack Tech Wu tried before he made a loud battle cry and used his Crystal powers to shoot him towards another pile ahead of them to buy them some time.

"Oh no!" Nya said with fear as Jay and Cole were moments away from being crushed.

"Please stop this thing Nya!!" Cole begged as they held the walls back as hard as they could, and Nya ran over to the control panel nearby to shut it down, she tried pressing on any power button to shut it down, but nothing was working.

"I can't override it!" Nya shouted while feeling tons of pressure on her at the moment.

"Well you better! Cause if you don't Cole and I are gonna get real close! You said we belong together, but not permanently!" Jay begged while they struggled greatly.

"I'm not.. strong enough!" Cole shouted while he closed his eyes, Nya had an idea and smashed open the glass panel that held the wires that powered it on, and was only met with another problem to deal with.

"Seriously? A black or blue wire? I have to cut one of them to shut it down, but cutting the wrong one could crush you both instantly!" Nya said with fear as Allison roughly lands on the ground after taking down the Nindroid and felt super annoyed hearing it.

"Why is it even designed like that?!" Allison shouted as she got up and slithered over to her to help them out.

"Pick Blue Nya! You know Blue!" Jay begged hoping she'd choose that one.

"Pick the Black one! Black is not Blue!" Cole suggested making Jay more annoyed.

"Oh I'm about to turn you black and blue!" Jay shouted while he started feeling his arms be crushed.

"No time for that!" Cole shouted as Nya couldn't decide which one to choose, and even when the crusher was almost done, Jay finally felt regret for all that's happened between them.

"I thought you were supposed to be strong." Jay shouted as they were being cramped together from the pressure.

"And I thought we were supposed to be a team!" Cole countered while Nya struggled to decide still.

"Black or Blue? Oh, which one do I choose?" Nya asked with fear as Allison looked below with fear of what's about to happen.

"Just cut one already!" Jay screamed while they looked up at her.

Zane wasn't having the best time either, he was struggling to block the laser blasts from Cryptor which was getting harder with each attempt, but after the last one was fired at him, Zane got knocked back far away as a result, and a spare nindroid that was still active took control of the crane, and used the magnet to attract Zane and his Techno Blade on it.
"Zane!" Pixal shouted with fear as Cryptor laughed sinisterly, and he threw more Electro cobrai around which powered up more nindroids who laughed sinisterly too from being powered on.

Kai and Spike were still struggling to fight back against the Tech Wu who was extremely tough, even with Spike's powers, he was barely able to keep him down for long.
"Guys? A little help?!" Kai shouted while he and Spike blocked the staff with they're Techno Blades.

"We can't hold out for much longer!" Spike screamed just before Tech Wu slid around them and tried attacking them from behind, Spike quickly reacted and blocked his attacks again, Spike began to growl with anger and had enough of this, and after taking a deep breath, Spike shot a powerful fireblast at him catching him off guard.

Spike quickly used this opportunity to use his Techno Blade to strike at Tech Wu multiple times, and Kai used Spinjitzu on him to knock him back even further, while Tech Wu still looked ready to fight, the two of them together may stand a chance.
"Ugh, why did they have to do this to sensei?!" Kai asked with regret with what's happened to him.

"I don't know, but there's one thing I know, the Overlord is gonna pay!" Spike roared as Tech Wu lunged at them and tried attacking them once again without holding anything back.

And as this was happening, Zane was being taken over to a crusher that could kill him instantly if dropped in, and he couldn't do anything to fight back.
"Junk him!" Cryptor ordered making the crane lower him even more as Pixal was being restrained, but she couldn't watch him be killed like this.

"No!" Pixal screamed before she suddenly used her fists and hit the two Nindroids behind her and knocked them down, she quickly ran over to Zane just as he was finally being dropped into it, but Pixal was able to save him after making a risky jump, and she grabbed him before they went sliding over to the ground beside, and they were both shocked with what just happened.

"That was never in my program, your heart improved my fighting ability." Pixal said with surprise as Cryptor laughed mockingly hearing this.

"He needs a little girl to protect him?" Cryptor mocked while dozens of nindroids surrounded them and drew they're weapons to attack them, but after standing back to back with eachother, Pixal and Zane grabbed eachother's arms and combined they're own reflexes to fight back.

They're combined capability's was able to give them both the strength to push back each nindroid coming to them, and they only got faster with each and every strike.
"Our shared reflexes..." Zane said as Pixal finished for him.

"Work as one!" Pixal finished while they kept on kicking back each nindroid, and Pixal soon crouched down and held Zane on her back before spinning around as Zane rapidly struck each and every nindroid down.

"And we were made..." Zane continued while he looked at her again.

"To fight together!" Pixal finished again while they both began forming a Spinjitzu tornado together with they're combined strength.

"Ninja go!!" They both shouted as they used Spinjitzu together to take down the nindroids surrounding them.

"I take back everything I said!" Jay screamed while he and Cole were seconds away from being crushed.

"No, you were right! I could've been a better friend!" Cole shouted regretfully as Nya held the glass shard over both wires.

"Black or Blue?" Nya questioned again before she sighed in defeat and finally cut them which shut it down, that made the walls finally back up while the doors above opened, and Allison sighed in relief seeing they're okay.

"Thank goodness." Allison said with relief while she used her tail to help the two of them out.

"Nya you did it!" Cole cheered just as Jay realized something.

"Wait! Which color did you choose? You saw her cut them right Allison? Which one was it?!" Jay asked hopefully which made her groan hearing it.

"Like me or Allison will ever tell." Nya replied before running off, and before Cole and Jay argued with eachother, Allison slapped they're faces to make them shut up.

"Hey, what was that for?!" Jay asked with pain while they rubbed their faces from how hard it was.

"Look you two, this entire conflict is stupid, pointless, and a waste of time for all of us! If you wanna settle this at some point, try not to do it when dad and everyone else is in danger! I can't believe you two are supposed to be ninja, when your arguing over stupid childish things like this!" Allison hissed with frustration as she slithered off, and the two stayed silent for a few moments to think it since she does have a point.

Spike was blocking each and every attack Tech Wu tried throwing at him, Spike quickly ducked under another swipe from his staff and grabbed it before he made a loud battle cry and threw him over his shoulder, and that made Tech Wu quickly jump off the ground and turn to Kai who was pinned to the wall. Kai tried blocking another slash from him but struggled greatly from his strength just as everyone else met up with eachother.
"Sensei Wu!" Cole shouted with fear which made Tech Wu turn to them with a look of anger.

"What happened to him?!" Jay shouted with fear while they had they're weapons drawn.

"He's turned evil! Help us out please!" Kai shouted while Spike came in front of him and charged up his Crystal powers and soon shot a blast towards him, Tech Wu saw it coming and quickly deflected it with his staff and knocked it towards a pike which got frozen in a crystal instantly.

"But he's our sensei!" Cole argued back as Kai and Spike tried blocking him again with they're strength.

"He isn't our master anymore guys!" Spike shouted before he parried him again and quickly gave him a headbutt to his face which knocked him back a bit, and Allison slithered up behind him and hissed while she wrapped her tail around him and quickly tossed him in the air.

"Bad sensei! Bad!" Jay screamed as Spike jumped in the air and delivered a strong air kick to his face, but that ended up sending Tech Wu straight into Cole in a painful way which made Jay laugh a bit.

"Haha! I hate to admit it but, you deserved that a little!" Jay joked before Tech Wu recovered and hit Jay really hard in his chest with his staff making Cole laugh at him in response.

"Haha! Right back at ya!" Cole replied just before Allison slapped they're faces again to stop this.

"Enough! Anytime you two try doing this in front of us, I'll make sure your mouths are shut!" Allison threatened while she backflipped away from another strike from him.

"Sorry.." They both said regretfully while Nya ran past the two of them.

"I've got this!" Nya shouted confidently as she slid under Tech Wu who jumped over her attack, and she quickly got up and tried attacking him, but he blocked her with his staff again and threw her towards a mech, and he powered it on to restrain her from fighting back again.

Tech Wu ran up the parts of a machine while everyone else chased after him, but once he reached the top, he used his staff again to power it's conveyer's on which made everyone scream from it's fast speeds, and they all were thrown back to the ground as a result making them drop they're Techno Blades in front of him.

But before he was able to take them, a giant crane hovered over him with Zane and Pixal taking control of it.
"Sorry sensei." Zane said regretfully as he pulled a switch, and used it's magnet to attract him onto it despite how hard he tried fighting back, and everyone smiled proudly seeing the two of them together like this.

"Heh, I always knew those two had a magnetic attraction." Kai joked as Cole and Jay helped Nya up again.

"Really?" Nya asked as she crossed her arms while Spike sighed in relief after all of that.

"You need to work on your puns Kai, that was really bad honestly." Spike said in a joking tone making Kai look surprised a bit.

"Oh come on Spike, it's not like you can come up with a better one." Kai replied as he crossed his arms too.

"I beg to differ." Spike replied while he brushed off the dust he had on his suit.

But before they could continue talking, someone shot an arrow towards the rope holding the magnet and Tech Wu, arrow flew through and cut the rope holding them down, and Kai backflipped out of the way as the magnet slammed down with the blades on the ground, and Tech Wu flipped over to the strange figure from before which everyone saw.
"Whoa! Who is that?!" Jay asked with shock on seeing him, and Allison had a bad feeling on seeing him already.

"Someone who definitely isn't a friend." Allison hissed while she drew her spear again, and before Tech Wu went in to attack them again, the figure stopped him in order for them to get moving.

"Enough, the Overlord will be pleased." He said sinisterly which made everyone suspicous of him, and they could only watch as he got in a Hover Copter and took off with Tech Wu, leaving them all worried and confused.

"Uh, okay seriously, who the heck was that guy?!" Jay asked with confusion on what they saw.

"Or gal.." Nya added since they don't know who they are.

"Whoever it is, he turned our sensei against us!" Kai said with anger while they saw them flying off to parts unknown.

"And if we're gonna save him, we need to find out who that stranger is." Cole said as everyone took they're weapons again to keep them safe.

"But the real question is, who or what could that stranger even be? He didn't look human from what I saw from him?" Spike asked with a suspicious look.

"Perhaps I can help with that Spike." Pixal suggested before she went over to pile and scanned over the area, soon catching what looked like a scale that was dropped from him.

"A white scale?" Allison asked with worry while she inspected it too, she took a closer look at her own purple scales, and back at that one and saw some similarities.

"Why would this figure have left a scale like this behind?" Spike questioned while coming up to them again.

"I don't know fully, but given time I should be able to find an answer." Pixal said while she put it away for now.

"Then we shouldn't stay here, we need to head to New Ninjago City now, I'll use my Falcon Vison to warn Lloyd and Garmadon of our findings." Zane declared as Cole and Jay were still butting heads in the background after what happened earlier.

"I thought shutting the power down would give us the upper hand, but now that they have it and we don't, I guess the power has only shifted.." Nya said with fear of what's to happen next.

"Don't worry sis, we'll get our sensei back." Kai assured as they looked at the sky and prayed whatever happens next will help give them answers.

But back within the mountains Lloyd and Garmadon were at, they were currently climbing up it to keep moving, it was a really high and tough mountain to climb, but they were trying to push through it the best they could while Zane's falcon was able to see them from the distance.
"Wished you still had four hands? It would've come in handy?" Lloyd asked jokingly while he looked down at him who was struggling a bit.

"Your potential is great.. but not your sense of humor." Garmadon replied which made Lloyd laugh a bit hearing it.

"Still won't let me use the Golden Dragon?" Lloyd questioned while Garmadon didn't look like he's changed his mind about it.

"Still won't." Garmadon answered as he kept on climbing his way up until he caught up with Lloyd while they ended up in a small part where they could rest for a few.

"If you want to harness the power of the First Spinjitzu Master, you must focus on your balance.. and find your center.." Garmadon instructed while he kept on climbing ahead.

Lloyd suddenly heard what sounded like a bird squawking at a nearby nest which was on the top of the mountain, and letting his curiosity get to him, he climbed his way up into the nest to see what was making that noise, to his surprise, he found a small but young looking creature which was able to see him too.
"Uh.. dad?" Lloyd asked while he looked up to Garmadon who had finally made it to the top, but once he saw what Lloyd was looking at, he immediately got worried on what it was.

"A Ravture youngling! Don't touch him. He needs to learn to fly on it's own! Keep climbing, slowly.." Garmadon warned which made Lloyd try to slowly climb up to not distract it, but it unfortunately did fully notice him, but once it tried turning around, it lost balance on the nest and was almost about to fall.

Lloyd didn't waste another second before he quickly grabbed it's leg before it fell down to save it's life, but that unfortunately made thing's worse because of it.
"What have you done?! It's going to know someone has touched it's young!" Garmadon said with a worried look while Lloyd placed it down on the nest.

"It? Who?" Lloyd asked with fear before they heard a much louder squawk in the sky, and they saw what looked to be it's parent flying towards them after noticing they were near it's child.

"Daddy.." Garmadon said with fear as the creature was flying closer to them with a look to attack them.

"But he was gonna fall, I was trying to help!" Lloyd said in defense while the small Ravture could see it's father just in the sky.

"Well unless you speak Ravture, there's no use trying to explain! Hurry! We must climb to shelter!" Garmadon warned while he jumped down to the nest to help get them out of there.

"There!" Garmadon shouted as he saw a open spot that would be safe, he quickly started to climb his way to it, and Lloyd barely was able the adult Ravture sweeping down and grabbing him with it's talons, and he managed to grab the child's legs again so it doesn't die from the fall.

"Your not gonna fall on my watch!" Lloyd declared while he helped bring it back to the nest.

"Your compassion is not helping!" Garmadon shouted before he saw the Ravture was flying towards him, Garmadon screamed while he let go of the wall and started to fall just as the thing almost hit him, but it almost resulted in him falling down the whole mountain because of it.

"Dad!" Lloyd screamed with fear just as Garmadon barely grabbed onto the cliffside again to save himself, but it was much harder to do so under this pressure.

"I take it back.. I do want my four hands!" Garmadon shouted as Lloyd was trying to climb down to help while still keeping the child with him. he tried using his power to help out, but Garmadon didn't want him to use it again.

"No, don't! Don't use your powers as a crutch. it will only weaken you." Garmadon warned before he saw the father was coming back around to attack them again.

"It's coming back around!" Garmadon screamed as the Ravture made a loud screech and actually snatched Garmadon with it's talons which horrified Lloyd.

"Dad! No!" Lloyd screamed as the Ravture was trying to fly off with him, but Lloyd didn't want that to happen, and he charged up his power and shot a blast at the father, but while the blast hit it, it made the Ravture lose it's grip and drop Garmadon which started to make him fall into the clouds, making it even worse then he wanted.

"Son!" Garmadon screamed while he flailed his arms around and tried to stop his fall, Lloyd didn't want anything to happen to him again, and with the advise he was told of before, Lloyd tried focusing his power to be able to save him, using all the strength he had currently, he actually began using his power to move the mountain, making it form up into a large hand that was able to catch and save Garmadon before he fell to his death.

Garmadon himself was in complete shock of seeing it, but he also felt really proud seeing that Lloyd actually was able to do it, and he saw Lloyd use all he could to bring him back to the top.
"You just moved a mountain son.." Garmadon said in a proud tone while Lloyd felt amazed with what he just did, but he didn't have time to think over it since he saw the little Ravture lost it's balance again, and was about to fall off the mountain like before.

"No!" Lloyd screamed as he tried to save him, but the thing finally lost it's balance and began to fall. But while Lloyd was about to use his powers to save it again, the Ravture actually started to use it's wings to start flying, and that made Lloyd stop it once he saw it was okay, he felt relieved seeing it's okay after this, and he soon finally calmed down while the little guy flew up to him for a little goodbye.

"Looks like your not the only one who's grown up." Garmadon said proudly while the bird squawked at Lloyd a bit in a happy way, and he soon turned to his father and began flying to him so they could leave together.

Lloyd felt really glad with what he was able to do today, and once he focused his mind again, he began using his powers to move the mountains completely again, his power was so strong, he was able to make the mountains form into a very large staircase that would help them traverse it much easier, leading them down to the clouds far below.
"After you." Lloyd insisted while they were about to fly off to leave, but before they did, Zane's falcon finally came down to talk with them, and it landed in front of them to give them a warning as it's eyes flashed blue.

"Hey, the ninja have sent a message." Lloyd said with surprise as the falcon began showing a hologram of Nya who had recorded this during what happened.

"Lloyd, we got some bad news, we ran into a mysterious someone who found a new way to power Nindroids." Nya warned as the thing switched to Jay who was still very upset over what happened.

"And he turned Sensei Wu evil! He had a black beard!" Jay said with despair while Spike came up next to warn them about him.

"Whatever he did to Wu was cruel and inhuman, nothing like the previous foes we've faced before. If you see him Lloyd, do not hesitate in holding back against him!" Spike said with an upset look before Nya came up to inform them of something.

"We have a suspicion that this person may have stolen the hardrive containing the Overlord, and has reawakened him." Nya informed while Kai came up next to say something too.

"And now that the hardrive is missing, we can't reboot the system, our Techno Blades are useless!" Kai said with frustration before it switched back to Nya again.

"But we may have found a clue, a white scale, we believe it may be Serpentine. We're heading to New Ninjago City to get to the bottom of this, thought you should know so you can keep your distance." Nya said as they showed them the scale sample they found earlier to warn them of they're findings.

"I have a bad feeling that this belongs to someone we've encountered before, but we don't know exactly who yet, wherever the Serpentine are, they may know who it is, but if you encounter him, be careful you two." Allison warned while she was very concerned on what's happened recently.

"Just hope your handling things better then we are, we'll let you know about something if we find anything new. Over and out." Nya finished before the message finally ended which left the two of them concerned.

"Serpentine?" Lloyd asked with concern at the thought of them being involved in this.

"We must not go back, but forward." Garmadon said as he pointed towards a very large forest that could take days, if not weeks to get through if they enter it.

"Hiroshi's Labyrinth. Miles of jungle so dense, all who enter it are never found. We must not rest." Garmadon instructed which Lloyd was glad to agree with with what they've just learned.

"Okay, let's get lost." Lloyd concluded as they began heading towards the large jungle ahead of them, hoping that it would keep them safe from the enemy.

But they couldn't be more wrong, as far away within the figure's lair, he was secretly watching over them this whole time, but the Overlord was getting impatient and frustrated thinking he's failed him.
"You.. failed! Not even you could stop them!" Overlord said with disappointment as the figure kept looking at the map he had showing where they were.

"I wasn't trying to stop them, I was luring them into a greater trap." The figure said as he replayed the recording of Garmadon telling Lloyd about the Labyrinth, it was all part of a bigger plan he had from the beginning.

"Attacking the ninja and that dragon, was merely a ploy to scare them into sending a message to the Chosen One. I intercepted their SOS, and now we know where the Golden Ninja is. The Falcon, is now our homing beacon. He will lead us right to him!" The figure said sinisterly which actually surprised the Overlord hearing it, but at the same time he felt extremely pleased to know the bigger plan at hand, making him laugh maliciously hearing all of it.

"Whoever you are... I like you. Soon the power.. will be mine!!" Overlord screamed as they look at the red dot that shows Garmadon and Lloyd's current location, while they may not realize it.. they're only heading into something far more dangerous then they think..

Author's Note

Thanks for reading this everyone! Personally there's not too much I have to say on this episode other then I.. just really don't like that this is where the whole love triangle with Jay, Nya and Cole began, this thing just was not a good idea for a plotline if you ask me, I wouldn't have so much trouble with it if they had actually given Nya more interactions with Cole in the earlier seasons, but we haven't seen them properly interact once before this whole season, and it makes this plotline more frustrating me because of it since it wasn't properly built up too.

I would've ended this in one episode by having Cole and Jay apologize to eachother when they were in that crusher, it would've saved us so much time to focus on better stuff then this, it was just a stupid idea if you ask me. I know the writer's were just getting back into the show, but seriously this was just really annoying, and I'm not the only one who thinks it thankfully, but I'll try brushing it off some more as I keep going forward with the story sorry if this sounds rude to some, but it was just my opinion on the plotline, I'm just glad it was forgotten about and Cole and Jay got along again in the next season.

But other then that, thanks for reading this, and I hope you look forward to more of it!
