Zane moves along a frozen wasteland as wind was blowing before stopping to look ahead and continues walking. Pretty soon, the ground starts cracking up below him and he tumbled into what appears to be a cave as his right arm, which came off during the fall, hits him at the back of his head before it landed as he soon sat up. He soon got up, grabbed his arm and reattached it as growling was heard ahead. Zane looked on in shock as a glowing dragon, in chains, roars at him. "Zane?" P.I.X.A.L.'s voice was heard. "Are you still there?" Zane looked up to see his falcon, looking down from the hole. "If you can hear me, wake up. You need to wake up..."


Zane suddenly opened his eyes and gasped as he realised his experience in the cave was just a dream as he was still chained. "It was only a dream." He said to himself.

"It's amazing you dream." P.I.X.A.L.'s voice was heard from the cell next to his. "I've always wondered what it's like. You've always been special."

"Where am I?" Who are you?"

"I'm P.I.X.A.L., a friend. And you're in danger and have to get out of here. Your memory drive is out of sorts and your Elemental Power-"

"Elemental...Power?"

"You're a Nindroid, Zane, a Ninja. And your friends are here to save you. But they can't do it all. You have to remember who you are."

"Friends?"

"Remember, Zane. You saved your friends and then a relative of a multi billion-billionaire rebuilt you. There are things about you that you don't understand, that you have yet to discover. But if we're ever going to get out of here, you have to remember."

"P.I.X.A.L.! We are...compatible?"

"Yes, Zane. Yes, we are."


In Blake's Samurai X cave, Nya and Dragon were working on the Bounty as it was covered by a giant sheet. "Sure, Jay's cute and funny, and I'm always laughing around him, but everything's about him, and he never takes me seriously." She said as she was using a screwdriver on something, but failed to notice that Dragon was sleeping while holding his cane in one hand and a flashlight in the other. "More light, please."

Dragon quickly woke up. "Right." He replied, turning the flashlight on. "He never takes you seriously."

"Then there's Cole. He's handsome, and I suppose I connect with him on a deeper level, but everything's so serious with him, you know what I mean?" She held out her hand. "Socket wrench."

"Young emotions are...complicated." He hands her a pair of pliers.

"Master, these are needle-nose pliers. I asked for a socket wrench. And could you at least try to impart some wisdom?"

"No way. I'm not sticking my finger into that beehive." He soon sees Misako coming up to them. "Misako. Any word?"

Misako sighed as she came up to them. "Nothing." She said. "It's been days and still no word from Oni or the Ninja. I'm worried."

"As am I. It's time we broaden our search."

"Well, then it's a good thing Blake made a mobile base before he went missing and I would use it in case the 'Destiny's Bounty' was ever out of commission." Nya said as she came up to the console and tapped a few keys. The floor soon opened up. "It's called the 'DB Express'!" A six-wheeled van soon came out. "Glad I'm not married to the name."

"Find my family, Nya." Misako replied.

Nya soon got in. "I'm on my way!" She soon turned the DB Express around and drives out the exit.

"Wherever they are, at least my brother is there to guide them." Dragon said.

"This is my husband we're talking about." Misako replied. "And that's what worries me."


On Chen's island, in the cafeteria, the Elemental Masters were in line, getting their breakfast as Oni was next. "Uh-uh." The cook said. "Nothing for you."

A hand soon grabbed his arm. The Ninja look to see Geoff, wearing yellow pyjamas with scorpions on it as well as a yellow bathrobe with bangs under his eyes. "You will give it to him." He said, letting him go. "And get me some coffee."

"Sure thing, Geoff." The cook gives Oni some breakfast before handing Geoff some coffee.

Oni soon turned to Geoff as they left the line. "You look like you've been up all night." He said.

"I was." Geoff replied before gulping down his coffee and throws the cup at the cook, who dodges. "You didn't put sugar in it!"

"Sorry." The cook said.

"Keep moving." Lloyd said, dragging his father away from their supposed defector, who frowns, as Kai follows him. "This isn't a fighting tournament, it's an alibi for Chen to steal everyone's powers. But we still don't know why."

"Isn't it obvious?" Kai asked. "Chen wants to destroy New Ninjago City. I don't know what it is, but that place has had a string of bad luck."

"I'm not so sure." Cole replied, coming up to him. "From what Master G's told us about him, I have a feeling it's something far more sinister."

"And may I remind us, we still don't know where Zane is, which is why we all need to take care of our first rounds to give us more time." Jay said as he came up to them, wearing blue and white striped pyjamas, blue eye mask above his eyes and a blue bathrobe. His tray has more biscuits than the others. "Don't look at me. I've already moved on."

"Your opponent got himself kicked out."

Jay laughs. "Either way, it's my day off."

"And maybe mine." Geoff said as he came up to them.

"Get lost, Geoff." Lloyd replied.

"Lloyd, I can explain."

"**** off. You're as bad as your father and Chen."

"I am nothing like my father." He soon walked away.

"Taking a day off?" Cole asked as they watch Geoff sit at an empty booth. "And here I thought Ninja never quit."

"And I used to think Ninja would steal your girlfriend." Jay replied.

"Whatever you have to say to each other, say it now, because harbouring grudges hurts no one but yourselves." Oni said.

"He's right, you should be preparing to fight your next opponent, not each other." Lloyd replied.

"What grudge?" Cole asked. "I already dropped it the moment I broke up with Nya."

"I dropped it first." Jay replied.

"Did not!" Cole nudges him.

"Did too..." Jay nudges him before Cole nudged him again, knocking his breakfast onto the ground and they start arguing over it.

"Stop this at once!" Geoff yelled as he came up to the two. "You're both acting like babies."

"Oh yeah?" Cole asked. "Says the fellow singer who has a secret that we all know about. Show us the ink again, let them all know." The grey skinned guy looked on while sitting with Patrice, the green haired woman and a woman with purple hair as Cole yelled at Geoff. "You're as bad as your father."

"I am nothing like my father. I am trying to be a friend here, as always."

"A two faced friend." Geoff immediately kicks Cole in the groin, making him drop his breakfast as he held his groin and Geoff walked out, insulted.

"This tournament will test us, Lloyd." Oni said. "Either find a way for them to make peace, or neither of them will move on." The gong was soon heard over the speaker.

"The Tournament of Elements continues." Chen's voice was heard through the speakers. "Fun time! Would the following Masters please make their way to their assigned arena? Speed, Gravity, Smoke, Nature, Mind, Magnetism, Web, oh, and last and hopefully not least..."

"Huh, maybe we all got the day off." Jay said.

"Fire!" Kai gasped as Skylor looks at him. "Remember, only one can remain."


Later that day, atop a small mountain, the Master of Mind and Master of Nature look at each other as a Jadeblade was atop of a big rock as Oni sees Geoff, in his Tournament gi, who was sitting far away from the other Ninja before he discreetly moved over to him. "Geoff, Chen made you go to the ceremony, didn't he?" He asked.

"Yes." Geoff replied.

"Did he threaten anyone?"

"My sister."

"You have a sister?"

"Gewuji, she's one of the kabukis here."


Last Night

Geoff was looking at his new gi before the door opens, revealing Chen and some cultist members. "You're needed at the ceremony." Chen said. "And it's for Karlof."

"I'm not going." Geoff replied. "I may have the tattoo, but I'm not a member anymore. And I am nothing like my father."

Chen soon got out a dagger and looked at it. "This dagger, it is said to have been held by Arcturus himself. Refuse my offer, and I will move this blade, hard around your sister's neck." He moved the dagger along his neck as a demonstration.

"Fine."

"Good." He turned to the members. "Get him a uniform."


Present

"He used Arcturus' dagger as a threat?" Oni asked.

"Yeah, why?" Geoff asked.

"Let's just say he did the same to people I care about. And with you in the cultist, Chen is trying to tear you guys apart."

"Well, I plan on redeeming myself." Oni soon moved back to Lloyd.

"Neuro, Master of Mind, vs. Bolobo, Master of Nature!" Chen called out. "Fight!" Neuro moved his hands to his head as Bolobo holds his staff out.

"They call this a fight?" Lloyd asked.

"Wait for it." Oni replied. Neuro sees Bolobo about to use his power to trap him in vines. The moment they come, Neuro uses them to jump along them and climbs up the rock. Bolobo soon jabbed his staff into the ground, conjuring a vine as he chases after Neuro. Before Neuro could grab the Jadeblade, Bolobo comes at him, conjuring a vine from his staff and traps him in it, but he manages to break free and kicks him down back onto the ground. "Never underestimate the Power of the Mind."

Neuro soon comes down while sensing Bolobo's next move as he quickly moved out of the way, letting Neuro land before Bolobo soon conjured some vines, restraining him. "I didn't see that coming." He said.

"In man versus nature, nature usually wins." Lloyd said to his father as Bolobo chuckled.

As Neuro continues to struggle in the vines, Bolobo looks up at the Jadeblade and conjures a vine before Neuro uses his power to cause him to cover his ears before he soon jumped over him, climbs up the rock and grabs the Jadeblade, holding it high. "Yah!"

"Winner!" Chen yelled, pointing to Neuro and then to Bolobo as he picked up his staff. "Loser." Chen soon pressed a button, activating a trapdoor underneath Bolobo's feet and he goes through, screaming. "Master of Mind moves on."


Later on, drumming was heard as everyone was watching from a stand as Griffin and the Master of Gravity poise near a tree while a Jadeblade was in it. "Turner, Master of Speed, vs. Gravis, Master of Gravity!" Chen called out. "Fight!" Griffin soon runs fast as Gravis levitates in the air. Griffin comes on a branch to look for the Jadeblade before running further around as Gravis soon came past him, shocking him before he continues running. Further up, Gravis looks around as Griffin ran up, before running into the flowers before Gravis could spot him, but he moves down and Griffin kicks him, knocking him into a branch as Griffin retreats back into the flowers. Gravis raises high as Griffin showed up behind him and laughs as Gravis moved his hand to a nearby branch and moved it straight at Griffin's face, knocking him back.

He soon starts running along the branches as Gravis looks around. "What, can't keep up?" Griffin asked, mockingly as he moved from different parts of the tree. "I'm over here. Can't catch me." Gravis growled as he tried flying up to Griffin, but he came closer and kicked him, knocking him back as Griffin retreats into nearby flowers. As Gravis straightens himself, Griffin pulled a branch back before letting go and it hits Gravis. He soon levitates some flowers. "This doesn't look good." Gravis soon threw them at Griffin while laughing. Griffin soon runs along the tree as Gravis looks up at the Jadeblade and chuckles before soon holding his hand out to it and it starts to come to him as it levitates, but Griffin catches it. "Yeah!" He laughs as he held it high.

"Winner!" Chen yelled, pointing to Griffin and then to Gravis. "Loser." He soon presses a button, opening a trapdoor.

But because he was floating, Gravis just chuckles as Chen pressed another button, sending a heavy sack down on him and into the trapdoor. "Whoa! How many buttons does that man have?"

"Master of Speed, move on."


Later on, over a lava pit, Kai and the Master of Smoke see a Jadeblade on a bridge. "Kai, Master of Fire, vs Ash, Master of Smoke!" Chen called out as Kai covers his mouth with a bandana. "Fight!" Kai starts running along the bridge as Ash swings on the rope supporting the bridge before jumping and lands, making the bridge shake.

"Whoa!" Kai yelled as he tried to stay on it, but falls and grabs hold of the edge as the Jadeblade lands on a platform and Ash starts running along the bridge while Kai moves underneath it.

"Come on, Kai, you can do it!" Lloyd yelled.

As they come to the same spot, Kai kicks the boards above him and jumps through, about to kick Ash, but he goes through him and Ash laughs. Ash soon fired Smoke at him, but Kai deflects it before running at him to kick, but Ash turns to smoke, making him land on the bridge while he moves behind him, forming back and laughs again. They soon start throwing punches, Kai's could barely hit him while Ash's did before Ash soon punched him again, making him slide along the bridge and breaking the boards as he did so. He grabbed hold as he saw the broken boards land on the ground as Chen laughs in amusement. The Ninja, including Skylor were all concerned. Ash looked at Kai as he struggled to not fall down before firing some smoke at him, but Kai moves to the side as the board soon broke and he holds to the side, seeing the lava. "Whoa!" Skylor covered her eyes, in fear before Kai jumped up in the air. "Ninjago!" He does Spinjitzu, breaking the bridge's boards as he moved to Ash, who backs away. As he dispersed, Kai tries to hit him, but Ash goes through him and kicks him from behind.

"Come on, Kai. Use your power."

Kai soon conjured fire in his hands. "Fire!" He starts firing at Ash, but they go through him before they hit the bridge, setting it on fire.

As Kai kept firing at him, Ash soon ran at him. By the stand, Heianmofa was about use his magic, but Chen stops him. "No magic." He said. "I'm enjoying this." Ash soon came behind Kai and held him before he soon shot another fireball, breaking the bridge apart before they soon land on platform and look at the Jadeblade. They soon jump in the air before sparring briefly and fell back, landing on another platform they come at each other with Ash throwing a few punches before they come up to a previous platform Kai was on and they grab each other's arms before looking at the Jadeblade. Ash soon turned to smoke, making Kai fall forward before he soon held up some fire and fired them. As Ash turned to smoke, Kai uses the opportunity to jump through him and grabbed the Jadeblade. "Winner!" Chen points to Kai as Heianmofa is unamused. The Ninja, Oni and Elemental Masters cheer as Chen soon points to Ash. "Loser. Master of Fire moves on." He soon pressed a button, activating a trapdoor underneath Ash's feet and he goes through, screaming.
