In Dragon's room at the Temple of Airjitzu, Misako, who was still at Dragon's side, watched as Lloyd was pacing around, Geoff was doing squats and Tania calmly sat on a chair. "You're worried?" Misako asked her son.

"Yes." Lloyd replied. "Master Wu looks pale."

"No, I think she means you're worried about Cole, Jay, Kai, Maggie and Gewuji." Tania said as she came up to them as Geoff stopped doing squats.

"No, I'm mad at them. I gave them an order and, apart from Geoff, they disobeyed me."

"So not worried at all?" Misako asked.

"Okay, fine. But you heard Master Wu. He wished I was there for him when he fought Acronix. I won't leave and disappoint him again."

Dragon sighed as he sat up. "You did not disappoint me, Lloyd." He said.

"Oh, Master!"

"When I said I wished you were there, I was speaking of you, the team. If I had brought the entire group... Perhaps things would be different. Like Jay and Nya getting married. You still appear concerned. What is it?"

"My first time in charge and I blew it."

"No, you didn't, Master Lloyd." Geoff said. "I stayed."

"But the others ignored my orders. Master, what do I do now?" Dragon sighs and lies back before Lloyd comes up to the window and Misako came up to him. "I'm no leader. All I do is make mistakes."

"May I tell you a secret?" Misako asked. "Master Wu makes mistakes too." Dragon turns to them. "A lot of them. The true measure of a leader is not whether he makes mistakes. It is whether he learns from them."

"Dragon's mistake was going in alone."

"So is yours, Lloyd." Tania said, coming up to him. "You and Geoff are supposed to be fighting alongside our friends."

"Tania's right." Misako replied. "Even if they aren't ready to follow you yet like Geoff already did...they will be."

"But I don't know where they are." Lloyd said. The power in the city soon goes out, making them look out the window. "Okay. That's a pretty big clue." He soon turned to Misako. "Thanks, Mom." He then turned to Geoff. "Student, let's get to work."

"Yes, Master." Geoff replied before they head out, pushing the doors open as they did so and Misako turned to Dragon.

"You can stop pretending now." She said, and Dragon opens his eyes, causing him to sigh.

"Lloyd must learn to make his own decisions." He replied. "He will be a real master soon enough, just like Master Sanders. And by the way, I do not make a lot of mistakes." He sighed again.

"No. Just one big one."


Outside a power station, Lloyd and Geoff were waiting by the Raider jet and Carriage rickshaw as the other vehicles show up. "What took you so long?" Lloyd asked, sarcastically.

"We were-" Jay was cut off.

"Hey, how'd you two know those whatever-they-ares would be coming here?" Maggie asked.

"When all the power went out we assumed they must be at the source." Lloyd replied.

"You figure that out yourself?" Kai asked. "Nice."

"We had to follow them." Blake said.

"We should have been following them with you guys from the beginning." Lloyd replied. "Geoff only stayed because of me, I'm sorry."

"Yeah, yeah, so are we." Jay said. "So what's the plan, Temporary Master Lloyd?"

"In training." Kai said, making Lloyd chuckle before turning around.

"We go in there and kick some snake ass...or whatever passes for a snake's ass." He replied. "Like it?"

"I love it!" Jay said.

"Yeah, that's a great plan." Cole said.

Zane soon came between them. "The treadmill was invented in 1818." He said, still speaking gibberish. Blake places his hands on him before they prepare to head in.


"All right, snakes, time to-" Jay cuts himself off when they saw the room was empty. "Where the hell are they?"

"The place looks empty." Gewuji said before they continue on.

"Zane, you detecting any snakes?" Lloyd asked.

Zane looks around before looking over at a corner. "Cranberries." He replied, in gibberish again. "Cork screw. Squab."

"Multiple contacts." Blake said, amazingly translating what Zane is trying to say. "Six meters in." They all look at him, except for Nya.

"Uh...after a while, you start to pick up the meaning." She said.

They look to see some Vermillion Warriors coming up to them. Some were fused with different pieces of metal. "That's a bunch of Office Warriors!" Jay said. "Literally!"

"Okay, let's do this!" Lloyd replied. "All of us!" They all get their weapons out, only to hear some banging.

"'All of us'?" Geoff asked, looking at Zane, who is running himself at a component.

"Oh, right. Zane, stay here."

Zane groaned from hitting himself into the component. "Newt." He said.

The others put their hoods on and face the Vermillion Warriors. "Ninjago!" They yelled before charging at them.

Some oil drums roll over to them and as they jump to try and avoid them, they end up on the ground as some Vermillion Warriors charge at them. Kai, Cole and Maggie quickly block their weapons while Jay, Lloyd and Blake kick some of the oil drums at three of the warriors and one, made from a lot of discard metal, slithers up to Geoff and Gewuji. "You don't look so big." Gewuji said. The warrior soon rises up, revealing to be big. "And now you do. Me and my big mouth."

The warrior slams a fist down as Geoff tried to block it with the long handle of his axe, but ends up knocked over before it tries to step on him, but Geoff used his feet to stop it. Lloyd strikes one down, making it come apart as Maggie held her hand out, attracting the metal to have it slide away as Nya sees a warrior with a desk attached to it. "A desk is no good without a chair." She said, grabbing an office chair and kicks it to the warrior. "Have a seat." The warrior jumps onto it and moves along on it. "Aw, come on!" She moves out of the way as the warrior pursued her before she jumps onto a pipe and Lloyd and Blake do Spinjitzu at it, making it come apart.

"I hate not having a full team." Lloyd said. "We could really use Zane's help."

"Right now he basically has one move: Short himself out with a massive blast of power." Blake replied, pointing to Zane, who is still running into the component before a spark emits and the metal around him starts coming to it, sticking to Zane's back. "It creates a magnetic field that yanks off their armour."

Lloyd soon turned to see some turbines. "Those turbines. They're basically big rotating electromagnets, right?"

"Yeah, basically-" Three Vermillion Warriors soon charge at them, but they easily knock them down.

"So if Zane were to hook in directly and super charge one of them, all this metal armour the snakes have-"

"We're on it." Nya cuts Lloyd off as she and Blake head over to Zane.

"Zane!" Blake yelled as he and Nya grab Zane. "We need you." They start dragging him to the turbines.

"Hog knock!" Zane replied, speaking in gibberish.

"We have to buy Blake, Nya and Zane a little time!" Lloyd said as Kai strikes at the big warrior and Geoff and Gewuji take down a warrior each.

"Ninjago!" Jay yelled, doing Spinjitzu at some of the warriors, knocking them down.

By the turbine, Nya pulls a small cover off, revealing a couple of tips, before Blake puts Zane's hand on it as Kai, Lloyd and Maggie each take some warriors down. "Got it!" Blake said. "Now, Zane! Now!"

"Gargle my pudding!" Zane yelled, speaking gibberish as the others came behind them with their backs behind them. "Gargle my pudding!" He soon falls back.

"We need more juice!" Nya yelled.

"Jay!" Lloyd yelled, blocking a warrior's sword.

"On it!" Jay replied, turning around and fires a bolt of lightning at the turbine. All the metal, including the Ninja's weapons, except for Maggie's due to being made of wood, starts getting attracted to the turbine before Jay stops using his power as the Vermillion Warriors were now regular snakes as they all turn to them, trying to get to the metal.

"Boo!" Kai simply stated, scaring the snakes away. "That's right! Slither away!" He chuckles. "Way to go, Blake and Nya!"

"It was Lloyd's plan." Blake replied.

"Way to go, Master Lloyd." Gewuji said, coming over to her boyfriend and they hug.

"Yeah, you forgot the 'temporary in training' part, babe." Lloyd replied.

"I know. Don't let it go to your head." She soon moved her lips onto his to kiss him.

"Uh, not to ruin the feel goods or even that lovely moment, but maybe we should save the celebrating for after we get the power and Zane back on?" Cole asked, pointing to him.
