Meanwhile in Ninjago City the teams were divided up when Lloyd arrived on his dragon. The teams were spreading out from Town Square as Lloyd dismounted from his dragon and walked up to Clay,"So how is it going?" "Not well the Stone Army is too strong for us to hold off for long. We'll need to evacuate the city." Lloyd sighed he knew Clay was right and his friends didn't have their elemental powers. How were they going to defeat an army that size? "Okay I'll help the others keep the Stone Army at bay, you and Kai get civilians to a safe place." Clay responded with a nod as he began telling the others of the plan with his communicator. "Hey you be safe out there." Kai told him and lightly punched his shoulder. Lloyd smiled,"You too Kai." before he mounted his dragon and look the skies.
In the skies Lloyd had the perfect overview of the battle. The Nexo Knights and Ninjas were fight back the Stone Army as citizens fled but the Stone Army was pushing them back. Zane, Cole and Jay were using their spinjitzu again the Stone Army while Macy, Nya, Lance, Axl, and Aaron used their weapons. Jay stopped his spinjitzu and panted,"Guys...I can't keep... this up...for much longer…" "We don't have..much...of a choice whew!" Zane told him also growing exhausted. Aaron was riding his hovershield over the Stone Army shooting one by one but it was futile the army didn't even budge at his shots,"Guys it might be time to retreat!" Macy kicked a Stone Warrior away,"Are there any citizens that haven't made it out yet!?" Aaron flew around the nearby area seeing no other citizens escaping,"I think they have all evacuated. Clay permission to start retreating." Aaron asked over the com. "Permission granted." Clay replied over the Com. "Alright guys fall back!" Aaron called Nya, Macy, Axl, Lance and Zane all ran back. Jay was about to follow when he heard Cole yelp and hit the wall of a building with Stone Warriors surrounding him. "Hold on Cole!" Jay called before he performed his lightning spinjitzu and shoved away the Stone Warriors. Jay went to Cole's side and helped him up,"Come on Cole we gotta go!" Jay put Cole's arm around his shoulder as he walked with him. Cole was groggy from hitting his head so hard on the wall that it affected his movement. Jay knew they weren't going fast enough but he was not going to abandoned his brother. He heard a growl from his side he turned to see a Stone Warrior swing at him he jumped out of the way but he lost footing and fell with Cole. Jay tried to get back up but he felt a strong pain in left ankle he must've twisted his ankle when he fell. Jay turned to see the Stone Warrior holding his sword high in the air towards him and Cole. Jay sprung into action and despite the pain in his ankle he stood and blocked the sword with his hands. He held it back as best he could he could feel the blade digging into his hands as his arms began to fail allowing the blade to come closer to him. He could hear the Stone Warrior laughing at him as he began to overpower Jay, forcing Jay to his knees but Jay kept holding the blade blood flowing down his hands from his cuts. Suddenly Axl charged tackled the Stone Warrior, Jay panted as he watched Aaron land next to him. "Hey dude hang in there we gotcha." Jay watched as Aaron hooked his arms under his back and legs holding Jay bridal style. Jay turned to see Axl picking up Cole and carrying him like a soldier over his shoulder. Aaron followed with Jay on his hovershield to the others once they were far enough away Lloyd landed his dragon for everyone to ride on before he used his earth powers to make a wall to block the Stone Army. "That won't hold them for long, move people!" Lloyd said as he mounted his dragon once more. Once they were all on they took to the skies and towards the safe place.
The Bounty was parked on the roof of the safe zone. Lloyd landed his dragon near the Bounty and ran over to Kai who was helping get the last civilians onto the Bounty. "That should be everyone." Kai told Lloyd. Lloyd scanned the crowds for his mother but saw no sign of her,"What about my mom?" "She went back inside she said she dropped something important." Kai responded which caused Lloyd to become pale. "I have to go find her! She could be in danger!" Lloyd panicked. "Lloyd it's too dangerous, it probably too late." Kai said, Lloyd looked as if he was almost in tears. "It is never too late," Clay said walking up to them having overheard the conversation,"Like my Knightly Code says we save maidens in distress." Aaron flew by them still holding Jay,"Saved my maiden for the day!" Jay blushed and yelled,"I am not a maiden! I demand a new partner!" The three just stared as Aaron flew into the lower levels of the Bounty with Jay. "Anyway...Let's go look for your mother." Clay said as he put on his helmet. Lloyd nodded in return and the two left back into the building. They ran over to the railing of the spiral stairs and saw Misako backing away with a scroll holder in her arms with a group of Stone Warriors surrounding her. "MOM!!!" Lloyd screamed before he used his spinjitzu as a way to get down to her knocking off any warriors in his way. Clay followed closely and jumped over Lloyd's tornado in order to push away the Stone Warriors surrounding her. "Lloyd get your mom and go!" Lloyd nodded and quickly escorted his mother up the stairs. "Lloyd, your friend is in trouble!" Misako said pointing to Clay who was now being restrained by the Stone Army. "Clay!" Lloyd said and tried to get to him but was shoved back by the Stone Army. "Go Lloyd! Take care of Robin!" Clay said before he cried out and disappeared within the crowd of Stone Warriors. "No!!!" Lloyd cried out and suddenly a bright light flooded the room. Lloyd shielded his eyes from the brightness. This light...it was familiar...too familiar… Lloyd uncovered his eyes and he nearly jumped at the sight of Robin with glowing eyes. "It is time to awaken Green Ninja. The Overlord is coming." Robin spoke. "Awaken? Overlord? What are you talking about!?" Lloyd asked but before Robin could answer the light faded from their surroundings and Robin's eyes. Lloyd caught Robin as he fainted once more. Lloyd looked around at his surroundings he was back on the deck of the Bounty with everyone including his mother and Clay looking dazed at what had just happened. Lloyd looked down at Robin and mumbled,"Robin...Who is controlling you?...Why is this all happening?..."
