Previously on Ninjago: "They're not leaving and that is final." "Such chaos, such fear, perfect." "I'm getting you guys out of here."
Back on The Plague Doctor's ship, Harumi has just opened her eyes. She felt confused and groggy.
"What happened, where am I?" she asked tiredly.
Once she fully opened her eyes, and looked around, and saw she and the others were tied up in a strange room.
Then she remembered where they were.
"Everyone, wake up!" she cried. The other began to wake up.
"What's going on?" wondered Dareth.
"What happened?" questioned Misako.
"The last thing I remember we were fighting doctors and nurses." said Master Wu.
"And then nothing." finished Skylor.
Suddenly the door opened, to reveal Dr. Rogers, Nurse Payne, and Dr. Maul.
"Ah, I see you're awake." observed Dr. Rogers.
"What have you done?" asked Harumi.
"You've missed quite a lot while you were sleeping." answered Nurse Payne.
"Almost all of Ninjago has come down with RPD." added Dr. Maul.
"You won't get away with this." Master Wu threatened.
"(Chuckles), foolish man, I already have." Dr. Rogers replied, and he and his staff left.
"If only the Ninja could help." wished Dareth.
Meanwhile, the Ninja and Opal were riding in the ambulance getting closer to the Plague Doctor's location. Outside they saw people being loaded into ambulances, and being driven away.
"Once we stop him, what are we gonna do about all the people who are infected?" asked Jay.
"I don't know, but there's gotta be something we can do." said Cole.
"There might be a way." Opal piped up.
"What do you mean Opal?" questioned Nya.
"If you're going to create a virus, you always have to create some type of antidote, just in case the creator gets infected themselves." Opal explained.
"So if there is an antidote, The Plague Doctor must have it." declared Lloyd.
"Look." said Opal, stopping the ambulance. They all looked up, and saw The Plague Doctor's blimp.
"Well we found it, now how do we get up there?" wondered Zane.
They all looked around, and saw some hospital helicopters coming down in the small village.
"That's how." said Nya.
After they got out of the ambulance, they went over to a grounded helicopter.
"Excuse me, but is there any chance you'd trade the helicopter for the ambulance?" Opal asked the two workers.
The two looked at each other, and at their surroundings.
"Well we are closer to to the local hospital than the city one." said the man.
"We'll take it." said the woman.
After getting the keys, the Ninja and Opal piled into the helicopter, this time Nya drove. When they got close enough to the climb, they used the helicopter's portable ladder to get to it.
"Sir, we've got intruders outside." informed a nurse.
"Everyone hang onto something, Dr. Maul try and shake them off." Dr. Rogers ordered.
Everyone held onto their seats, the walls, and equipment, as Dr. Maul shook the blimp violently.
Master Wu and the others got tossed all around, while outside the Ninja and Opal struggled to stay on.
"Oh my." she said, trying to hold on.
Suddenly she lost her balance, slipped, and almost fell!
"Opal!" shouted Cole.
He quickly jumped down after her, and his teammates caught him by his foot, while Cole grabbed Opal's hand. His RX powers activated, causing his to hold on extra tight. Then they both got pulled up.
"(Whew), thanks Cole." replied Opal gratefully.
"No problem." he told her.
The two stared at each other for a solid minute, then Kai spoke.
"Uh sorry to interrupt, but we do have a plot to stop." he reminded them.
"Right, let's get them." ordered Cole.
They all burst through the door, and began attacking.
"The Ninja, I thought you were on bed rest." remarked Dr. Rogers.
"Well some recover fast than others." Cole told him, as they fought.
Though Opal wasn't a fighter, she managed to keep herself out of trouble, while also dodging the nurses and doctors attempt to grab her. She managed to get into the room where the others were being held hostage.
"Opal, you're here." said Misako.
"Yep, I broke the Ninja out. Are you all okay?" she asked, as she began untying them.
"They sedated us, but we're all right." answered Dareth, as Opal helped him up.
"You think we'll be okay to fight?" asked Harumi.
"You should, sedation doesn't last that long." Opal explained.
The others came from the room, and began helping the Ninja fight.
"We know you have some sort of antidote, doctor. Just make this easier for us and just hand it over and give up." said Cole, as he kept swinging at Dr. Rogers.
"Ha, give up, a good doctor never gives up." replied Dr. Rogers, as he punched Cole, causing him to fall.
But as he got up, a wave of nausea hit him.
"Oh no." he whispered.
As the Plague Doctor looked at the scene he saw what was happening to Cole was happening to the other Ninja.
Kai began coughing a lot, Jay's head began hurting, Zane's body began locking up, Lloyd began feeling really dizzy, and Nya began to feel extremely weak. The Plague Doctor chuckled evilly.
"Feeling sick again, are we Ninja?"
The others tried to help the Ninja up, and Dr. Rogers turned around, and started setting sights on the city. Cole looked up, and around and saw the control panel for the blimp. Keeping his last meal down, he slowly got up, and he did some Spinjutzu over to the panel, and then using his RX powers, he slammed his fists down on it, causing the blimp to fly out of control!
Everyone yelled, shrieked, and shouted as they fell towards the ground. As Dr. Rogers held onto a panel, Cole tackled him down. As they struggled, Cole pulled the antidote out of his lab coat pocket.
"Ha, so you did have an antidote." he said.
Before Dr. Rogers could fight to get it back, the blimp landed on an inflatable bounce pad. Everyone staggered out, and paramedics and police officers hurried to the scene.
The police took away the Plague Doctor's minions and himself, and the paramedics tended to the Ninja, and their allies. Opal looked around, and found Cole stumbling around.
"Cole are you okay?" she asked, hurrying over to him.
"I'm not feeling that great anymore." Cole replied.
Thinking quickly, Opal got the Ninja and the others help. Each of them were put on a gurney, and put into ambulances. Opal told the drivers to take them to Ninjago General Hospital.
She got into the ambulance with Cole. As they rode Cole spoke.
"Opal." he whispered.
Opal leaned over, and grabbed his hand.
"I'm right here." she said.
"Take...this." he told her before passing out.
And in her hand was a test tube filled with a green liquid.
