It's funny how time can zip by within the blink of the eye, isn't it? How the years can slip through your fingers? You acknowledge them flowing through your warm hands, but there's nothing you can do as they vanish forever. As they carry the present with them, leaving you stuck in the past.
Just years ago, Lloyd Garmadon was the young, foolish boy who wanted nothing more than to be like his father. Just years ago, Kai Smith trained under Sensei Wu, groaning as Wu told him that he didn't complete the training course in time. Just years ago, Jay Walker fashioned his own mechanical wings, only to meet failure in the face. Just years ago, Cole Brookstone was climbing a mountain to rid himself of the grief of losing his mother. Just years ago, Zane Julien was thought to have been a normal person, only to find out he was someone much more. Ah, time flies.
And just years ago…Lord Garmadon was corrupted by the toxic venom of the Great Devourer. This was one moment Lloyd desired to forget.
It was all over now. His father was by his side again, and Lloyd would make sure to savor the moments before he departed again. He wouldn't let these memories slip through his grasp. No, in fact, Lloyd Garmadon was still the boy who wanted nothing more than to be like his father. But he was older and more mature. And his father was whole now.
The Sons of Garmadon are incarcerated, doomed to spend the rest of their lives clawing at cold, silver bars of confinement. There are days when the only sound in the prison is the wild howling of Ultra Violet. Mr. E was disassembled, and researchers are investigating why the Mask of Vengeance was able to mutate his body. The Oni Masks are on display in the museum. Eight guards watch over them at all times.
And the girl known as Harumi…
She was overcome by the power of love. When Wu and Lloyd freed Garmadon's true soul from the power of the Oni, Harumi's mind uncoiled from its rigid structure. Garmadon took her in, treating her like the daughter he never had. Though the police came for her, the masters of spinjitzu were able to keep her from being jailed again.
Wu was now a young adult, and he had unlocked his true potential. He uncovered the true potential of his creation powers. With the combination of both his and Lloyd's powers, Garmadon was freed. In addition, he healed Ninjago City, rebuilding the entire city with his powers. Wu was able to close the divide between realms, preventing the Dragon Keepers from entering Ninjago.
The Dragon Keepers sought to take over Ninjago. After they acquired the Dragon Armor, they opened the gateway into Ninjago. But the ninja were able to follow. Lloyd regained his true powers when he accepted that he could heal the wounds between himself and Harumi, and the ninja were successfully able to banish Iron Baron and the Dragon Keepers back into the First Realm. After that, Garmadon was purified.
And Lloyd. He had regained his golden powers after accepting that he could forgive Harumi. And when the Dragon Keepers arrived, Lloyd wasted no time in helping the ninja. He reunited with his team and his master, and Garmadon was purified. Lloyd was overly delighted to see his father normal again, and their reunion was very much emotional. After all, it had been years since they had last seen one another, and he would not have had it any other way.
Peace, at last!
