LJ and Misako's lost quality time is interrupted by the arrival of Stone Colossus.
In the hallway at Ninjago Academy, the bell had just rang as the students started heading out. The Rangers were walking alongside Aseey. "I mean, she walks out of my life, and now she walks back in." LJ was explaining to his girlfriend about his mother. "What am I supposed to say about the 8 years since I last saw her?"
"Maybe you could at least give her a chance to at least spend time with you." Aseey replied. "Get to know you again."
"Well, we have tomorrow off, so you can talk to her about it." Zane said.
Beeping was soon heard as Aseey nodded before walking away and the Rangers head into a corner. "We read you, Master." Cole said into his Spinjitzu Watch.
"Rangers, come to the docks, I have a little gift for you all." Wu replied through the Spinjitzu Watch.
"We're on our way." LJ said as they soon take off.
On the Dark Island, the clock has deducted several days from its countdown as it was still counting down slowly.
In a camp, Lloyd comes across some Stone Warriors, who excavate some dark goo that was sparkling purple from a nearby well. "This is foolish." He said as they bow down to him. "I have an unbeatable army to conquer Ninjago and yet we waste time playing in the mud?"
"What you call 'mud' is concentrated evil." The Overlord replied as he came up to him. "A dark matter which with one drop could make a man's heart turn as black as night. Have patience, Lloyd. The Celestial Clock ticks backwards to doomsday and cannot be stopped. Your time will come."
A small drop of it soon came out and hits a nearby Stone Warrior, causing it shriek and scream as it starts to slowly transform. "What is the matter with him?"
"He is feeling the effects of the Dark Matter. Any warrior affected turns into a strong monster." The warrior soon started turning grey and grow two more arms. "Say hello to Stone Colossus."
"I like it." Stone Colossus looks up and growls.
"And we must build a super weapon the likes of which has never before been seen."
"Hmm, a super weapon. I like the sound of that!"
At the dock in Ninjago City, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya and LJ walk up to the jetty as there was something big being covered up as Misako, wearing new glasses, soon came up to them. "Good afternoon, Rangers." She said.
"Mother." LJ replied.
"Misako, why were we brought here?" Zane asked.
"Wu said he had something to show you." Misako replied, looking at the covered object.
Wu soon emerged from it, holding a big bottle and smiled. "Rangers, I know it's been hard for some of you to be staying at the dorms since the Skulkin destroyed my monastery, so, here is our new base." He said before he pulled back the sheet, revealing a ship.
"Is that-?" Jay cuts himself up.
"Yes." Wu soon held out the bottle. "Always wanted to do this." He giggles. "I christen thee, the Destiny's Bounty!" He slams the bottle at the port side stern section, but misses, chuckling at the miss. He soon slammed it again, but it doesn't break. He tries again, it doesn't break, but some of the liquid came out. "Ew!" He slammed it again, it still doesn't break. "How the heck do they do this?" He slammed it again, still not breaking.
"It's made of stern stuff, Master." Cole sarcastically joked.
"Let me try." Zane said, coming up to him and took the bottle. "Christen thee, the Destiny's Bounty!" He slams the bottle at the ship, it still doesn't break. "Will this break?!" He slammed it at the ship again, causing it to finally shatter and everyone applauds.
"Now that we have christened it, shall we check it out?" Wu asked as he wiped his hand on the back of Zane's jacket.
"Hey, this jacket's new!"
"Sorry." He giggled, knowing he actually did it on purpose.
In the bridge, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Nya, LJ, Wu and Misako come in and look around as the Rangers were surprised at the interior. Apart from the helm like every ship, there was a lever next to it, also a table, some control panels and a monitor to keep an eye out for monsters. "This is the bridge. We can monitor everything from here."
Down below, Wu opens a door to what appears to be a recreation room. "Here is the recreation room where you can spend time, doing what regular teenagers do." They soon came over to another door before Wu opens it, revealing what appears to be a cabin.
"And this is where you'll be sleeping in case our missions are overnight."
"Wait, we have to sleep together?" Cole asked.
"Not Nya and Junior. Their rooms are further down."
"That's not fair." Jay said.
"What is fair? Something you're not comfortable with or the situation?"
"Fine."
"Now that the tour is done, you can now spend some quality time. Junior, I think it'd be good for you and Misako to catch up."
"Okay then." LJ said before turning to his mother. "How about some ice cream?"
"Sure thing." Misako replied.
As they leave, Zane turns to Wu. "I appreciate the offer, but I'm fine at the dorms for the time being until I find my mother." He soon walked away.
"He really doesn't remember." He said to himself.
In Lloyd's camp, a Stone Warrior, carrying a tray of Dark Matter, enters a tent where Lloyd washes his face a little while a Stone Warrior with four arms and red armour said. was behind him. "We've dug to new depths, Master Garmadon." It said. "And we've struck Dark Matter."
"Amazing." Lloyd comes up to them and takes the tray to look at it. "The most powerful Dark Matter."
"We have also lost many warriors down the mouth of Eternal Shadows just to obtain that one piece."
"I'll throw you down myself, because I need a thousand more just like this one to make the ultimate weapon!"
"We've already made plans and they're underway." The red armoured Stone Warrior said. "And I will see to it that it is done!"
"Excellent, Kozu."
Kozu and the warrior leave as Lloyd puts the tray on a wooden table. "They respect you!" The Overlord said. "This is good!"
"Unlike Samukai and the Skulkin, they never took me on."
"That's because not only do you wear the helmet, but because you've set them free of their stony prison. But, I feel there is something troubling you."
"I fear my son still assumes I am dead."
"Then, you should go to Ninjago City with Stone Colossus and let them know you aren't."
"Excellent idea. I'll need some troops to accompany us as well. The weapons my blacksmiths created will do perfectly well."
"As you wish." Kozu soon walked out as Lloyd looked on.
"Amazing how that guy found me all the way out here."
Outside the ice cream store, LJ and Misako exit it while having ice cream. LJ had choc chip while Misako had ginger. "I'm surprised you remember what flavour I like, even though you were a baby last time we met." She said.
"I never forgot the smell." LJ replied. "It was the last thing we ever did too."
"I know. I still regret it. I could still hear your crying voice when I left."
"Come back!" A little boy's voice was heard. "Come back, mommy! Mommy, come back!"
"I shouldn't have left you at Darkley's."
"Hey, the past is the past. Besides, a lot has happened. I may have released the Skulkin and my father, but I became the Emerald Ranger and changed into a teenager."
Around the corner from the park, a portal opens up and Lloyd, Stone Colossus and some Stone Warriors exit it and Lloyd widened his eyes. "My son and wife are close by." He said before turning to the warriors. "They mustn't see me just yet. Bring them to me." He goes through the portal and it closes.
"Yes, my lord." They all replied before taking off.
In the park, LJ and Misako were now walking along the gravel path. As LJ took another lick of his ice cream, the Stone Warriors soon surround the two. "Stone Warriors." He said, throwing his ice cream aside as Misako dropped hers. "Mom, get behind me."
"I can look after myself." Misako replied as she poised before they ran at each other. LJ twirls as he avoids a Stone Warrior before blocking another one's fist and kicks it before turning to another one as it was about to charge at him and kicked it, sending it over a bench. Misako falls back and kicks a Stone Warrior before rolling aside to avoid another one's kick and jumps back up, kicking the Stone Warrior as she did so. LJ vaults over the bench, landing on the warrior he knocked off before one comes up behind him, but he backflips and lands, kicking the warrior into the bench as he did so, causing it to break. Misako somersaults over the last Stone Warrior before kicking it from behind. As it went down, LJ comes up beside her. "You okay?"
"Yeah. I was wondering, where did you learn how to fight like that?"
"Your father, before he became obsessed with power. You?"
"The boarding school you sent me to, before I got expelled."
"Oh, Junior... uh, LJ... I didn't know what that school would do to you."
"Well, it's too late. Come on, let's go tell Wu about this." They soon walk away as Stone Colossus watches them leave.
In Lloyd's camp on the Dark Island, Kozu comes up to Lloyd as he looks at a gate. "Your warriors have failed." He said. "Stone Colossus told me, and they're supposed to be indestructible."
"There are some with flaws, my lord." Kozu replied. "Not all Stone Warriors are strong."
"It doesn't matter at the moment." The Overlord said as his hovers down to them. "This will give us the edge in our act of desperation." The gate soon opened, revealing a tank with features similar to the Stone Warriors. "I present to you... GARMATRON!"
Lloyd soon grinned. "I like it." He replied.
In the bridge aboard the Destiny's Bounty, Wu thinks about what LJ and Misako told him. "I wonder why they went only after you and Misako, but not the others." He said.
"I wonder myself." LJ replied. "But the only one desperate for us is gone."
"Maybe. But, recently, I've felt a little something. Because I am his twin, after all."
"You mean, Lloyd's alive?" Misako asked.
"Probably. Or, I was having a small imagination."
Beeping was soon heard and LJ answers his Spinjitzu Watch. "LJ here." He said.
"LJ, there's a Stone Warrior at the park." Jay replied through the Spinjitzu Watch.
"We know, we were just there."
"No, this one is different, get here, quickly!"
"Got it."
LJ was about to leave, but Wu stops him. "Not so fast." He said. "There is a faster way."
"Really? What?"
"Watch." He heads over to the helm and pulls the lever.
Outside, the spoilers on the back of the Bounty turn around and flames start coming out of it before it suddenly rises from the ocean and into the air.
In the bridge, LJ was amazed. "We're flying?"
"Yep. Next stop, Ninjago Park."
Outside, the Bounty rises high before turning around as the thrusters soon burst more fire and goes onward as a young boy and a woman walk by and the boy sees it leaving. "Look, Mommy, a flying ship." He said, pointing up to it.
"Oh, honey, ships don't fly." She replied, not looking at it as the Bounty flies by. "Only planes."
"No, Mommy, it's a ship."
She then sarcastically chuckled. "That's nice, honey."
On the streets, civilians look up in the sky as they watch the Destiny's Bounty fly past. Chad and the cheerleaders look on, in amazement. "No way." Chad said. "A flying ship?"
"This has got to be a trick." The blonde haired cheerleader replied.
In the park, Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole and Nya, all morphed into Super Spinjitzu Mode, move around Stone Colossus as Jay charges at it to try and strike it with his Super Spinjitzu Blade, but is grabbed and sent flying over it, landing on the grass before he got up as Kai and Nya try to strike it with their Super Spinjitzu Blades, but it only grazes it before Cole and Zane jump over them, raising their Super Spinjitzu Blades. "Element Strike!" They both yell as Cole's Super Spinjitzu Blade glows brown while Zane's glows white.
They both lower their Super Spinjitzu Blades, striking it and making it move back. "Is that all you got?" It asked.
"Once LJ gets here, you'll be in real trouble." Kai replied.
"Then where is the mighty Emerald Ranger?"
"He's on his way." Jay said.
In the sky, the Destiny's Bounty shows up above the park and LJ sees the other Rangers fighting Stone Colossus. "I'm going." He said.
"LJ." Misako replied as she came up to him. "Be careful."
"I will, mom." He gets onto the railing and jumps off. As he free fell, LJ gets out his Super Spinjitzu Blade out and spins it before raising it high. "Super Spinjitzu Blade, ignite!" LJ's Super Spinjitzu Blade ignites as LJ, helmetless, swings it downward, letting out a burst of energy that moves into him, turning his Ranger suit into its Super Ranger form.
As Stone Colossus was about to attack again, it suddenly looks up. "The Emerald Ranger!" It yelled.
LJ immediately raised his Super Spinjitzu Blade above his head. "Element Strike, final attack!" His Super Spinjitzu Blade soon glows green and strikes Stone Colossus, causing it to fall back and explode.
In Lloyd's camp on the Dark Island, the Overlord comes up to Lloyd. "Now, you can observe the power of Garmatron." He said. "Fire the Garmatron Missile!" A Stone Warrior moves the controls as Garmatron raises its cannon before the warrior presses a button and fires a shot, sending a missile through the clouds.
At the park in Ninjago City, the Rangers came up to LJ. "What kept you?" Nya asked.
"Well, there was a-" LJ was soon cut off as the Garmatron missile hits Stone Colossus and explodes, creating smoke which immediately fades, revealing a bigger Stone Colossus, who laughs. "Guess, we'll have to talk about this later. Jay, are the Zords ready?"
"They're still in need of repairs." Jay said.
"Rangers, come aboard the Bounty." Wu said through their Spinjitzu Watches. "Leave this fight to another surprise I have in store."
"Right." All the Rangers replied before taking off.
In the bridge on the Bounty, the Rangers, with their helmets off, come up to Wu as he presses a few buttons. "Activating Megazord Mode."
"Megazord Mode?" Cole asked.
"You mean-?" Jay cuts himself off.
"Yes, this ship is still a Zord." Wu replied before pulling the lever.
Outside, the Bounty's thrusters move to the sides before moving down and hands come out while the ship moved downward, the bowel section moves forward and splits into two, making them look like legs, and the stern section rises, revealing its face, completing the Destiny's Megazord before it poised.
Back inside, all the controls have moved closer as some monitors soon appear. "Destiny's Megazord!"
Outside, the Destiny's Megazord charges at Stone Colossus as it prepares to punch it, but the Megazord moves to the side, grabbing hold of its arm and raised a leg, kicking it and knocking it back. Stone Colossus immediately recovered and jumped to do a mule kick, knocking the Destiny's Megazord back.
In the bridge, the Rangers, Wu and Misako move a little from the shake of the attack. "Jay, where's the anchor button?"
"I think it's this one." Jay presses a nearby button.
Outside, the Destiny's Megazord raised its left arm up before the panel opened up and the anchor comes out. The Stone Colossus quickly back away as the Destiny's Megazord swings its anchor, but it soon raised it up, striking the Stone Colossus.
In the bridge, Wu turns the helm to starboard. "Anchor Flail, final strike!"
Outside, the Destiny's Megazord raises its arm as the anchor is soon shot out and it swings the chain down, striking Stone Colossus, causing to immediately crumble apart and explode.
In the bridge, the Rangers were surprised as Wu turned the helm to port. "A spinning victory."
On the Dark Island, Lloyd looks at the clock as Kozu came up to him. "Stone Colossus has failed you, Master." He said.
"Doesn't matter." He replied. "We will get the Rangers another day. For now, let them celebrate their minor victory."
In Ninjago City, the Destiny's Bounty flies in the sky as the Rangers, demorphed, look down from the deck. "The view is amazing from up here." Nya said.
"It feels like I'm on top of the world." Zane replied, agreeing with her.
By the door to the bridge, Wu comes up to LJ as he was just leaning by the wall. "Not gonna enjoy the view?" He asked.
"Don't feel like it." LJ replied. "Tell me, Master. What did that feeling tell you about my father?"
"I think...he was able to reach land and found something sacred."
"If so, we better be ready."
