3rd Person POV

"Ninjago straight ahead!" Wu declared from the steering wheel as the city neared.

"More like what's left of it." Nya noticed that most of the city had been reduced to rubble and smoking craters, causing Lloyd to start explaining the plan of action.

"Alright team, we need-" He was cut off as the ship steered a bit off course.

"Uh Master Wu, the city's thataway." Cole pointed out as they headed for the outskirts of the city.

"I know, we're picking up a reinforcement."

"Who?" The whole team, minus Aeria, asked while she just stood at the edge of the ship with her arms crossed and a knowing smile on her face.

Meanwhile, on the streets of the city, a boy with a work uniform was battling against several of Garmadon's soldiers, blasting them away with harsh gusts of wind.

"Don't they ever give up?" The boy growled as he punched a soldier that tried to sneak up behind him without even looking until he heard chains rattling and felt the back of his uniform get snagged on a line that lifted him into the air.

"What the-?!"

"What's up bro?" Morro looked up and saw that Aeria was waving down to him before Master Wu lifted the anchor to deposit him onto the deck.

"Aeria!" Morro bolted over to his sister and grabbed her in the tightest hug he could muster.

"C-can't breathe…" Aeria managed to choke out before Morro put her at arm's length with both hands on her shoulders.

"Aeria Lillith Wiater, where have you been?!"

"Morrrooo you said you'd never reveal my middle name to people…"

"Well that's what you get for disappearing you little punk." Morro harshly noogied her head before taking in what she was wearing.

"You mean to tell me that you...a-and they…" He pointed to the others as they waved awkwardly at him.

"Yeeeeaaaahhhh… I'm the Violet Ninja…" Aeria confirmed his suspicion, lifting her arms up a bit.

"I knew it."

"You did?! Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you? You should've told me!"

"Guys!" Lloyd cut off the two before the argument could continue any further, "I hate to break up the reunion, but we still have that cat to deal with."

"Are all the citizens out of the city?" Wu asked Morro and he nodded.

"They're still evacuating out to the bay but the city itself has been cleared and the cat's currently in the downtown area."

"Then we have to go straight through the city."

"How? Those generals are going to be expecting us." Nya questioned.

"I think it's time we took a page out of the Fushia Ninja's book…" Aeria crossed her arms and grinned.

The plan involved bringing the Destiny's Bounty right into the line of fire to some of Garmadon's soldiers, but at the last second, they swerved out of the way and parked the ship right under their feet. They all hung from the upside-down ship, waiting for the soldiers to pass overhead.

"All right, Ninjas, follow me." Lloyd announced before the all dropped off the ship and pulled their masks on, in Morro's case he wore his old mask that he kept in his back pocket for emergencies, declaring,

"Ninja, go!"

"Nya, we need to get to Garmadon and that cat fast." Lloyd told Nya after landing on the bridge.

"You got it." She reported before they all ran towards the cat, right before some soldiers in their flying ships gathered to form a blockade in front of them.

"Here they come." Lloyd notified the others, prompting Nya to tell the others

"Come on! Let's go!" Before jumping off the bridge and toward the river below.

"Follow Nya." They all landed in a pyramid on top of Nya's shoulders as she started to run across the water with Master Wu following them from the side.

"You guys are too heavy..." Nya started to struggle to hold up all eight of the others evident from the way her eyes were scrunching up under her mask.

"We got this." Aeria looked to her brother and they both nodded in unison before leaping off of Nya and began to fly, taking Xia and Zane with them to lighten Nya's load.

"I see you've been practicing." Wu commented to Morro as they continued to run while they flew.

"Yeah, I figured one of these days I was gonna have to help my little sister deal with all this."

"I'm just sorry I didn't tell you sooner, we could've been working together this whole time." Aeria told her brother before Wu interjected,

"We cannot change the past but we can change the future… right after we deal with the giant kitty."

"Now there's a sentence I never thought I would hear from him and trust me I've heard him say some weird stuff before." Morro laughed before they made it to land and the guys on Nya all leaped off while the Ice Twins and Wind Siblings landed on the ground from the air.

"Zane, Xia, freeze these guys out." Lloyd directed them as a crowd of soldiers started heading toward them.

"We copy." The twins both leaped up and created a wall of ice by shooting it from their hands and feet in punching and kicking motions in front of them before Lloyd instructed,

"Kai, make a smokescreen."

"Yeah, baby! Fu-fu-fuego!" Kai happily obliged as he sent out two streams of fire from his hands to melt the ice wall and create a smokescreen cover that allowed the team to sneak right past all the soldiers as they stumbled around in the smokescreen in confusion,

"Where'd they go?"

"I can't see them anywhere."

However, even as they got through the first line of defense, another wave was waiting for them all as they got closer to where it looked like Garmadon was struggling to control the cat.

"Jay, now's your chance, buddy." Lloyd encouraged him right before he reported,

"Roger that." and summoned a bolt of lightning to ride up into the sky and electrified the gliders nearing them from above.

"Let's rock!" Cole announced as he was being surrounded on all sides by soldiers in their mechs before making some spinning dance movies and leaping up to pound down on the ground to create a shock wave that knocked them all back.

"Oh yeah!" Nya whooped as she summoned a wave from the river and rode the top of it like a surfboard as it consumed all the crab mechs within its waters before back-flipping off of it to give it a kick to send it back to the river.

"Hey!" Aeria was grabbed from behind and reeled in by one of the giant crab mechs that kept her trapped between its pincers and struggled to pull herself out as the driver gloated,

"Hey I got one!"

"Let me go or else you'll have to meet him." Aeria warned the driver, but he only scoffed and questioned mockingly,

"Oh yeah? Meet who?"

"Him." Aeria pointed behind him while smiling wryly as the driver looked behind him to see Morro, with his arms crossed and his eyes narrowed threateningly.

"Her brother..." He growled before using one hand to lift the driver out of his seat and fling him toward the river using strong airstreams.

"Let's get you out of that pinch." Morro snickered as he messed with the control panel, trying to find the right switch to release his sister.

"Ha ha ha." Aeria laughed sarcastically, "Like I didn't see that one comiiiiiiinng!"

She was dropped from the claws right before the end of her sentence and was plummeting toward the ground until she was caught by Lloyd, who had slid on the ground right under the mech to catch her after he saw the trouble she got into.

"Phew... Thanks." Aeria patted Lloyd's shoulder twice before they both got up and met up with the others as they finished defeating the soldiers around them, leaving no one between them and Garmadon as he started to threaten the cat, face to whiskery face,

"Hey, cat, back off! I'm Garmadon, baby. I'm the greatest warlord of all-" His statement was interrupted by Meowthra's snarl right before she decided to eat him right off the edge.

"Somebody help me!" Garmadon's screams were muffled from being inside the cat, but Lloyd could still hear him as he exclaimed,

"Dad?"

"Dang..." Aeria grimaced from behind them.
