In the cellar, Cole and Gewuji look down the path to the entrance before looking at each other and nod. Cole rises to look through the red window, noticing the box. "Huh." He said before lowering down, inserted the key to the door, turns it, unlocking the door, opens it, and sees the box. "The key to the third mask?"
Cole enters the room while Gewuji kept a lookout before slowly moving his hand to the red blanket covering the box. Once he moved it back, it was something he wasn't expecting. There was the face of a baby, wrapped in a blue blanket, who starts giggling. Cole soon yelped and kicked the box, in surprise. "What?" Gewuji asked as she came up to the box and pulled back the blanket, fully revealing the baby, who had a single tooth. "Oh, aren't you a cutie?" She picks the baby up and smiles at the baby as he cooed at her. "Oh, did some bad guys put you in a box without air?" She rocks it a little as Cole looked at them.
"And, that's not a key."
"Of course, it isn't." She sarcastically spoke as Cole kneels down to the box to try and find something else. "Anything?"
"No." He soon stood up. "Sorry, baby, but we're looking for a key." The baby whines a little. "We gotta go, you understand."
"I'm not leaving this child behind." She looks at the baby again as he closed his eyes while cooing. "I think I'll adopt him."
"You're gonna adopt him?"
"That a problem?"
"Uh, no."
"At least you got someone else other than me to talk to."
They start to leave, but Ultra Violet appears at the doorway, chuckling. "You didn't think it'd be that easy, did you?" She asked.
The sight of her causes the baby to cry and Gewuji tries to comfort him. "There, there."
"Sweet, isn't he?" Ultra Violet asked the question with sarcasm.
"If you want the masks to bring back Oni, why take a child?" Cole asked as the baby stops crying. Upon hearing it, Gewuji was completely shocked.
"You two really have no clue, do you?" She immediately charges at Gewuji, who throws the baby to Cole before being knocked down, and punched her in the face.
She immediately got up and charged at Cole, grabbing the baby before they start wrestling for him, and inadvertently send him into the air. Gewuji gets up as they both look at the baby as he falls while laughing, but Ultra Violet kicks them both down, and catches the baby. The baby soon cried again at the sight of Ultra Violet as Gewuji quickly got up, grabbed hold of Ultra Violet and tries to force her to let him go. "You wouldn't hurt a child!" She yelled as she manages to grab the baby, kicks Ultra Violet back, raised a leg to block her punches, and backed away.
"Lord Garmadon will not be stopped." Ultra Violet grabs hold of the baby and started to wrestle with Gewuji again for the baby as he started laughing.
"Lloyd saved his father. He sacrificed himself for Ninjago. He wasn't a bad man!"
"This one will be!" Cole, who was unconscious during the girls' fight, quickly got up to try and get behind Ultra Violet, but she lets go of her grip on the baby, moved around, and kicked his back, sending both of them out of the room. While chuckling, Ultra Violet pulls out her pistol. "Lord Garmadon will eventually destroy you all!"
Before she could charge at them, Cole and Gewuji get up, and Cole closes the door on Ultra Violet's face. The baby, who was in Gewuji's arms, soon laughed as she locks the door, breaks the key off, and gives Ultra Violet the bird as she slid down, out of their sight. "Bye." Gewuji sarcastically spoke before she and Cole take off while throwing the keys aside. As they left the cellar, Gewuji turns to Cole. "What did you mean by, 'If you want the masks to bring back Oni'?"
"The three masks have the ability to bring back Oni Garmadon from the dead, when they're brought together."
"You mean, resurrection?"
"I think so. But not in the way you've seen him."
Gewuji was immediately concerned before looking at the baby as he smiles at her. "Then, we need to get him away from the Sons of Garmadon."
In the secret tunnel, Seymour and Timor look at the door as they wait for Ultra Violet. "She's definitely taking her time." Seymour said.
"Well, I ain't waiting a second longer." Timor replied as he soon opens the door.
The moment he did, Gewuji and Cole were heading toward it before Gewuji moves the baby forward. "Here, hold him." She sarcastically said before throwing him to Timor, who quickly caught him. Distracted by the throw, Gewuji raises a fist at Timor, knocking him down, sending the baby in the air, until she caught him before Cole then came out, and does Spinjitzu, knocking Seymour down before he could react. The baby laughs a little before Gewuji presses a nearby button, opening the secret hatch, and they head through it.
In the Badlands, the Sons of Garmadon drive off road as Killow turned to see Zane was no longer there. Assuming he was getting arrested as they speak, Killow touched his radio. "We lost him." He said. "Great job, Scars."
"No drama, mate." He replied through the radio.
Further back, Zane drives along the road before turning right to go off road, immediately smirked as he sees the Sons of Garmadon up ahead, and goes faster. The bike's sides soon rise, bringing out some boot claws which he fires, taking out the two members in front of him. "Yes, this will do just fine." He said to himself. He fires another one, hitting another member's bike, causing it to stop and flip over along with the biker, hitting another one at the same time.
Scars turns around and spots Zane. "What? Him again!" Mr. E and Killow also spot him as Scars touches his radio. "Keep moving, I'll deal with this piker!" Scars immediately slowed down just as Zane fired another boot claw on another member's bike. Scars slows down a little while Mr. E and Killow continue on before he turned to aim his shotgun at Zane, immediately firing a shot. Zane swerves to the side, avoiding it before firing a boot claw, but Scars swerves to the side, avoiding it before firing another shot. The shot strikes the front of the bike, denting it before firing again, but hits a nearby rock pillar. He tries to fire again, only to hear a click and looked at it. "Argh! It's as dry as a nun's nasty!" He throws it aside in anger before getting out his pistol.
But as he was getting it, Zane fired another boot claw, striking the back of Scars' bike, causing it to tilt forward, and he falls off. Zane soon passed by while giving him the bird. "Hooroo!" Angered, Scars gets up, takes his helmet off, throws it down, and started firing his gun at Zane's bike, but doesn't get a hit, until it ran dry, and he throws it down on the ground, in anger.
Outside the subway station, Cole and Gewuji exit it while Gewuji still held the baby and got out her communicator. "Guys, I found Cole, we're gonna need a pick up." She said.
"Understood." Blake replied through the communicator. "Pix is tracking your beacons now, we'll be there to pick you up shortly."
Cole soon looked at the baby. "So, have you thought of a name for him?" He asked.
"Are you kidding?" She asked. "I've only been a new mother for 5 minutes, and already you want me to name him."
"Sorry, just making small talk while we wait for the others to pick us up."
"I'll think of a name, don't worry about it."
In the Badlands, Killow and Mr. E drive along as they quickly made a left before Zane did so as well. "I've caught up with the mask." Zane said into his communicator.
Killow sees Zane coming up next to him. "Blasted Scars!" He yelled before grabbing the Mask of Deception and puts it on, immediately growing horns, and laughs as Zane was shocked at the sight. Suddenly, Zane's bike started levitating before it soon descended, but lands without hassle. Killow then held his hand out, and moved it forward as some rock pillars then show.
In the bridge aboard the Bounty, Blake and Harumi see the pillars through Zane's point of view on the monitor. "Zane, are you seeing what we're seeing?" He asked.
In the Badlands, Zane sees them lining up, and sighs. "I was going to ask you the same thing." He replied before immediately starting to swerve as one by one, the pillar come down on him, but miss, and looked at Killow, who waves his arm forward. He quickly looked behind to see three more pillars rising while Killow hits him with his bike as he was distracted, making him slow down, and laughs.
Zane then looked up at the still floating pillars. "If you're having trouble, Nya and I built in some additional help." Blake spoke through the communicator.
Zane looked down at the bike's instruments. "I see that now." He soon presses a button. "Activating." Pretty soon, the figurehead, in the shape of a falcon, on the front of the bike rises up, sprouts wings, cawing at the same time. Killow soon lowered his arm, sending the pillars at them, but the falcon fires at them, blowing them up before rejoining Zane, who looks at it, and recognises it. "It's good to see you too, my old friend. Or should I say, new?"
Up ahead, Killow turns to see that Zane was still after him and Mr. E before turning to him. "You brought a Ninja with you." He said as Mr. E turned to see Zane as the falcon returns to its original position. "This is your fault! Fix it!" Killow soon sped up, going through a canyon as he rises his left arm, levitating more pillars, and starts dropping them down as Mr. E passes underneath the first one as it landed.
Zane quickly drove onto one that was knocked on its side, using it as an improvised ramp, and flew off it, noticing that only Mr. E was remaining as he turns to see him before getting out a sword, turns on his side to skid to a halt, and watched as Zane was driving toward him. Curious at why he stopped before realising, Zane turns to the left, getting onto the left side of the canyon, avoiding Mr. E's strike, and kept going. Mr. E immediately turns around and drives to catch up with Zane, who turns around to notice him before getting out some shurikens, and throws them, but misses until two of them hit the front of the bike and one comes back, hitting his visor, which Zane immediately catches. Mr. E immediately caught up to Zane before pulling out his sword and prepared to strike, only for Zane to move to the left, and the sword hits a small pillar, breaking the blade in half. As he immediately threw his broken weapon away, Mr. E looked at Zane as they came out of the canyon and crashes into him. "You're 'The Quiet One', aren't you? You're the one in charge!" Mr. E crashes into him again before looking through his cracked visor to see a cliff. "Who the hell are you?" Zane notices the cliff as well as Mr. E grabs hold of his handle, and they both move fast as Zane was shocked by the move before turning back to Mr. E. "WHO THE **** ARE YOU?!" Mr. E doesn't reply as Zane tries to stop his bike, but fails, and jumps off. Mr. E notices the action before both bikes land on their sides, trapping him between them before stopping, and the bikes go off the cliff, crashing at the bottom. Getting up, Zane's cloaking device shuts off, reverting him back to his titanium form, turns around to see Mr. E as he slowly got up. His right shoulder was letting out sparks for some reason before he stood up, shown to be holding his right arm in his left hand. "You're..." Surprised at the sight, Zane watched Mr. E reattach his arm. "You're like me." As soon as he reattached his arm, Mr. E turns to face Zane. "A Nindroid."
Back in Ninjago City, Cole and Gewuji hide behind some bushes while Gewuji still held the baby before seeing the Destiny's Bounty arrive, and head over to it. On the deck, Kai, Jay, Lloyd, Nya, Geoff, Maggie, Blake and Harumi notice them before Lloyd threw a ladder down for them to climb up. The moment Cole got on, he grabs the baby from Gewuji before she got on. "Gewuji." Lloyd said, coming to hug his ex-girlfriend as the others notice the baby in Cole's arms before Lloyd broke away from his hug, and looked at the baby too.
"Who do you have there?" Geoff asked as he looked at him.
"Your new nephew." Gewuji replied as she takes him from Cole.
"You want to keep a baby?"
"That a problem?"
"Uh, no."
"Where did you get him, anyway?" Nya asked.
"He was down in their base as well." Cole replied. "We don't know why they wanted him, but-"
"That'll have to wait." Blake cuts him off. "Zane's cover has been compromised, we have to find him."
"I have located his position." P.I.X.A.L. said from the bridge. "He is in the Badlands."
"Let's go." Kai said as they head for the bridge while Gewuji went to take the baby down below before she joins up with the others.
In the Badlands, Mr. E faced Zane as he gets up. "Are you The Quiet One?" He asked. Mr. E doesn't reply, but instead, turns his head, cracking his metallic neck, and turns back to face Zane. "ARE YOU THE QUIET ONE?" Mr. E immediately charges at Zane as he gets out his bow, loads an arrow, and fired. Mr. E deflects it with his arm before Zane fired another, only for it to be deflected it as well before immediately punching him, sending Zane flying down. He soon grabbed hold of his leg as he fell before spinning around, dragging Zane along, and throws him to the cliff. Zane comes near the edge, letting go of his bow, which falls down the cliff, and he helplessly watched it before turning to Mr. E. "Who are you?" He doesn't reply while moving his knuckles back, cracking them while Zane gets up, and charges at him. He tries to punch him, but Zane moves to the side, and tries to kick him, but Mr. E moves back before turning around as he jumped and tried to kick him, but Zane blocks it with his arm, and raises both arms high to hit him, only for him to move back, turns on his left, and punches him with both fists, making him move back. Zane counter punches before Mr. E did the same, and did it again, making him move back and shook his head a little before poising. He poises as well before preparing to punch him again, but Zane forces it aside before Mr E tried again, only for him to grab his wrists, but gets free to try and strike him, but Zane backs away, which left him vulnerable for Mr. E to kick him, jumps in the air to kick him, but each kick was blocked until he lands. He tries to grab hold of him, but Zane forces him back before Mr. E kicked him, which he counters with his own kick, and they start exchanging punches until Mr. E then forced Zane's arm down, tries to punch him, which is blocked before spinning, and kicks him, sending Zane close to the edge of the cliff. Briefly seeing his opponent distracted, Mr. E tries to punch Zane, only for him to block it, but raised his other fist to punch him before Zane counter punched him, and tried going for another punch, but it gets deflected. They keep throwing punch after punch with Mr. E briefly raising a leg to kick Zane, only for it to be blocked by his arms before Mr. E moved his arm back, and moves it forward, striking Zane, and sending him flying onto the ground. Briefly groaning as he sat up, Zane saw the side of him sparking as well as the panel flipping a bit before glaring at Mr. E, who walks over to him, stands up, conjures some ice, and charges at him, punching him, leaving a piece of him encased in ice. "Who." He punches him again. "Is." Another punch, freezing his arms. "In." Another punch, completely freezing him. "Charge?!" He soon kicks him, making him slide away from the cliff. As he looked at his opponent, still encased in ice, Zane scoffed as Mr. E started shaking, cracking the ice before freeing his left arm, then his right, and finally, his entire body. "Who?" Mr. E doesn't reply as he charges at Zane, jumps in the air and kicks him, moves forward to punch him, knocking him back and immobilising his right arm. Zane, whose right eye flickered a bit, helplessly watched as Mr. E came up to him. "You don't... have to do this." Mr. E refuses to listen before jumping in the air, and does a tornado kick, sending Zane flying off the cliff, causing him to bounce off two rocks before reaching on the ground, rolling twice, and laid back. His gi was completely dirty and torn, and his left cheek was exposed, as he turned left. Mr. E lands on the ground before coming up to Zane, as he slowly turned his head back to face him. "Who-?" He soon laid back before his eyes went dark, indicating he was shutting down. With his opponent down, Mr. E opens up the panel, and puts something inside Zane before closing it, briefly looking at him, and places his right hand to his helmet, spouting some robotic gibberish while turning around. Looking back at Zane's motionless body, Mr. E starts walking away.
