Master Wu tapped Cole gently on the shoulder with his tiny staff.

"Traveller's Tea," said Zane.

"Looks like we're no longer in Ninjago," acknowledged Cole.

"Then where are we?" questioned Jay confusedly.

Then, a dragon flew over their heads. The four ninja gasped in amazement.

Kai now knew exactly where they were. "Back where it all began, the realm of Oni and Dragons."


Within the blink of an eye, they were back in Ninjago on the Destiny's Bounty.

"Lloyd, jump! You can make... it."

Zane speculated, "Did anyone else feel a temporal disturbance?"

Lloyd jumped onto the bounty's wooden floor. Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane and baby Wu looked at Lloyd. Everything was the same as before, only this time, Lloyd was holding the golden reversal blade. It pulsed with energy.

"Lloyd, you used the reversal blade!" exclaimed Kai.

Cole argued, "Why Lloyd, why? We agreed that we would never get that out again. It's too powerful."

Lloyd looked ashamed. He hung his head down. "I'm sorry guys, I had to. I've already lost my father, I couldn't bear losing you. It was a last resort. Me, P.I.X.A.L. and Nya agreed to use it to bring you back."

As Lloyd said that, Samurai X had just jumped onto the Bounty. She then went to the steering wheel and took control of the ship.

Jay scoffed, "We were just fine Lloyd, we were in the realm-"

"What Jay was about to say was 'thank you, Lloyd,' but regardless of what happens to us, please don't meddle with time again," interrupted Kai.

Zane, who was standing next to P.I.X.A.L. as she was steering the Destiny's Bounty, stated, "Now that we are back at this moment, the Colossi should be right around."

"Zane's right," said Lloyd. "My mom and Nya are down there on that boat, lets pick them up and head to the Temple of Airjitzu."

P.I.X.A.L. nodded. The bounty dipped low, and it hovered for a moment, allowing Misako and Nya to leap on. As the bounty rocketed off, Lloyd stared at Harumi. She had taken off the mask, and was glaring at the Bounty. Harumi became smaller and smaller, and Lloyd kept gazing until he couldn't see her.


Everyone was reunited. Misako smiled, scooping up Wu. Nya ran up to Jay and Kai and hugged them both.

"I thought... I thought I lost you forever," consoled Nya.

Jay continued to comfort Nya. "Don't worry, we're here now."

"Yeah sis, just don't go messing with time again."

"Come on, let's go. Harumi and the Sons of Garmadon shouldn't be far behind," called Lloyd.


As the ninja arrived at the Temple of Airjitzu, a young baby Wu passed Cole a drawing. It was very messy and hastily drawn, but Cole managed to interpret what it was. After that Cole called the other ninja as Nya, Lloyd, P.I.X.A.L. and Misako went inside.

"Psst! Kai, Jay, Zane! Come here."

"What is it?" asked Kai.

Cole then passed Zane the drawing. "It appears to be a drawing of an oni and a dragon," assumed Zane.

The four ninja then looked at the young Master Wu, who had a frown on his face.

"What's your point, Cole?" exclaimed Jay.

"I'm just trying to say, why did Mistaké send us there in the first place? What if we had a purpose in the Realm of Oni and Dragons? What if we were needed there?

"They are Oni and Dragon; who could possibly harm them. There's no threat there except them fighting each other all the time!" scoffed Kai.

"I can't help but wonder if destiny called us there. If destiny wanted us to be there," pondered Cole. "I don't know. But it's too late now. What do we do now?"

"Garmadon will be looking for us," explained Misako. "He's... changed so much..." Water poured out of her eyes, and she buried her face into Lloyd's body.

"It's okay Mom. We're here. We're going to save Dad," reassured Lloyd, even though deep down, his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't let his mother see this. Lloyd knew very well it would only tear her apart further. "It's alright," he repeated, placing a hand supportively on his mother's back. Misako wiped a tear, nodding without saying anything.

"We are too weak right now. We will need much more power to combat Garmadon," Zane intervened. "I've run several calculations, and the best scenario would be not to engage with Garmadon at all."

"Mhm, don't engage with him. Got it," Kai mumbled absentmindedly, stroking his hair back.

"We can continue to lay low, taking part in minor missions. But we must not return to Ninjago City," continued Zane.

Lloyd drifted away from the group, wandering outside. The view was gorgeous from here; but Lloyd has always wished the Temple of Airjitzu wasn't above a bleak desert. Nevertheless, Lloyd still enjoyed standing here, in the serene, tranquil garden.

Far off into the distance, he could even spot the tiny Ninjago City. But Lloyd frowned. In that city, his father had taken control. And Lloyd recalled the four words he had said to him merely a day ago.

"I have no son."

Lloyd quivered, his eyes widening and staring those of his father in the face. His father's crimson eyes of pure hatred. He was on the verge of heartbreak. It was beginning to shatter, fragments starting to break off.

"Dad..." But Garmadon heard nothing as he spun around and launched him through the wall of the prison. Lloyd Garmadon landed on the soft mud outside the prison, laying sprawled as his father glared at him.

He let out an agonizing wail, both in immense distress and overwhelming physical pain. And he reached into his pocket, withdrawing the photo of him with his father.

"Father..." he moaned, as the photo fluttered away into the distance, destiny carrying it.

He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't recall these moments anymore. At that moment, Lloyd had his heart set on bringing his father back to the light. He would do it. He would bring back his father. His real father.
