Last Time on The Masks of Garmadon : Princess Lydia keeps her thoughts on the only member of her family who's been missing over the past year, while The Teams split up across Ninjago after making their final teams and plans, to go out and find their allies and more resources to bring the fight to Garmadon, with Harumi and Montgomery have a little fun with Lydia, before she sneaks out of the city with Brenden's Group, only for Lloyd to show up and hear Garmadon's going after her, with Harumi and Lloyd giving chase, while Charlie's Group arrives at Fort Lexington to save Paul and Rhona, only for Charlie to end up meeting Lydia and Montgomery's older brother Prince Kieran, with them bringing all of Charlie's Team over the cliffs of Camp 494, just as a Bomb goes off, but the question is, how did the Sons of Garmadon know Kieran's Location?

March 6th, 9:12 p.m.
Kieran. . .
"I've been in the Shadows of my own family for too long, I've been missing for almost a year because of those villains escaping The Departed Realm, and now that those villains are going down, it's time I rise, and stand beside them again, I'm not sure if even either of my own parents know exactly where my own heart and soul came from, or even my powers, all I know is that my powers are a balance to any element I come across, and that intimately, my powers are similar to Lydia's, I still have no clue If I'm even meant to exist in the Fourteen Realms, but like Liv says, everything in life happens for a reason, and if she says my life came for a reason, then obviously it did... I just need to find it, and find out who I am. . . all I know is that I've been Lydia and Montgomery's Brother-in-Arms for longer than I can remember but I feel there's more to me than that."
"Ever since I was a baby, I was curious if who my real parents were and where I came from, Emperor Lloyd and Empress Harumi were the ones who decided to take care of me, after my parents sent me through a Portal to Ninjago, just to save my life, not knowing what would happen to their own."
"My Name is Prince Kieran Holden, Son of Captain Holden and Mary Kenneth, and The Master of Imagination, and may The First Spinjitzu Master's Heart and Soul of understand, guide us all. . ."
Lydia. . .
"All I know is that as long as each member of my family keeps turning up, then I'll be okay, and I may be able to turn my grandfather, and I know it's the one thing my Daddy would want, though I also know everybody would want my brother back. I hope Kieran's okay. . . wherever he is. . ."
Charlie's Team was unconscious and were slowly starting to wake up on the beach beneath Camp 494. . .
Person : Wake up. . .
Charlie : What. . . what happened?
Person : Oh for The First Spinjitzu Master's sake Charlie, wake up!
Somebody pounded hard on Charlie's chest and it woke him.
Charlie : Okay, I'm up!
Prince Kieran : Took you long enough.
Charlie : Kieran what happened?
Prince Kieran : The whole camp exploded is what happened.
Captain Holden : Yea, no kidding.
Paleman Jr. : Oh my gosh.
Charlie : Uh, Paul!
Paul : What?
Harmony : Dad, they're all on fire!
Rhona : Well Harmony, of course I mean-
Harmony and Charlie grabbed them and made them face towards Fort Lexington.
Charlie : Look, Fort Lexington is on fire!
Maya : Oh come on.
Eric : Here we go again.
Charlie : Not you two, get The Amber's Grace and head towards Fort Lexington, we're grabbed Paul and Averill's Ships and then we're leaving!
Prince Kieran : After we get out of here, I need to find my friends
Charlie : We will Kieran, it's not safe for you guys to really be apart anyway.
Prince Kieran : Yea, tell that to the past year of my life.
Charlie : Kieran, what happened to you, and why hasn't anybody in your family even talked about you... no offense.
Prince Kieran : None taken, I've never understood where My powers came from, or even where I did, but that's something Lydia and I have had in common, none of our ancestors had these powers, apart from The First Spinjitzu Master, who created every Elemental Power, including my own. . .
Prince Kieran : My Powers are Blue and Gold, though I have no idea why, Probably because it shares it's resemblance to Creation, though anyone's Imagination can be Destructive and Creative, same way that Creation and Destructive could always cause the opposite in their own ways.
Charlie : You have the same wisdom as your sister.
Prince Kieran : We'll talk about this later, right now we need to leave.
Charlie : Yea.
After about Five Minutes, the team reached the town and it was already engulfed in flames.
Prince Kieran : This Fort is done for, we have to Go.
Averill : The ships are right there.
Charlie : We can't go around because of the flaming debris coming from the water.
Harmony : So we run through it?
Charlie : Yea, I absorbed Eric's Powers, just run as fast as possible.
Rhona : Alright.
Charlie used Eric's Powers and splashed water at the Fire as they ran through it to try and reach the ships.
Harmony : Kieran, how did they even know you were here?
Prince Kieran : I have no idea, all I know is that if we want to make sure Garmadon doesn't find me, then we need to get out of here and run.
Charlie saw Kieran was now wearing a Royal Blue Sweater with the sleeves painted Old Gold, and with a Royal Blue Steel Chestplate on his Chest, and he was wearing Black Pants, with Chain Armor over them from his waist down to just below his knees, Half Finger Biker Gloves that Lydia wears, and the same scarf as Lydia, only it was Dark Blue.
Averill : Over there!
Just then, the Tavern behind them exploded and they saw the Sons of Garmadon.
Prince Kieran : Oh crud.
Charlie then handed Kieran a hood that was Black and Dark Blue.
Charlie : Just hide your face Kieran, and Let's Go!
Skip Vicious : You kids won't get away that easily.
Averill : Run!
The Resistance took off, trying to make it to Paul and Averill's Ships ( The Gray Gargoyle and The Shining King ) they did so, but the bikers shot grappling hooks and were chained to the ships to keep them from sailing away.
Rhona : Guys, the Fire's gonna burn the sails.
Charlie : There's this new thing, it's calling Flying!
Just then everybody looked at each other and back at Charlie.
Captain Holden : Right, we have that.
the two ships use the thrusters and flew above the Fire, and they carried the bikes into the air, until Charlie and Kieran cut the chains and they plummeted into the water.
The Ships then sailed away and The Amber's Grace flew over to them and they stopped.
All three of the ships were almost a quarter mile from the Fort, and everybody was on the deck of The Amber's Grace, looking back.
Fort Lexington, and the entire town next to it was completely engulfed in flames.
Prince Kieran : What have I done?
Paul : Don't blame yourself for this Kieran.
Charlie : Yea, this isn't your Fault, your Grandfather's mad grab for Power isn't gonna stop, that's easy to see.
Prince Kieran : What isn't easy to see is my sister.
Charlie : Yea, we're gonna go get her... Harmony, get your Parents back to the Base and do not let them get seen, use the Ships' Cloaks and leave them at the Ninjago City Harbor, Eric, Neuro, Shane, Paleman Jr. and Karlof will come with me and we'll get the others.
Maya : Just be careful Charlie.
Charlie : Gramma, I know what I'm doing.
The Amber's Grace then flies away from the other ships, which head towards Ninjago City. . .
Prince Kieran : Charlie.
Charlie : Yea?
Prince Kieran : Thank you.
Charlie : Of course.
Kieran then got a thought in his head, and asked Charlie a question.
Prince Kieran : Charlie.
Charlie : What's up?
Prince Kieran : Can I see your phone?
Charlie : Why?
Prince Kieran : I need to talk to my parents.
Charlie : Yea.
Charlie used his phone to call Harumi and Lloyd and he handed the phone to Kieran.
Meanwhile. . .
Harumi and Lloyd were close to Sandstonia and they had just started the attack when Lloyd's phone went off.
Lloyd : What now, Charlie?
Lloyd answered the phone and put it on speaker.
Empress Harumi : Charlie, what do you want?
Charlie : It was your Son-in-Arms who wanted to talk to you, not me.
Lloyd : Kieran?
Prince Kieran : Yea.
Empress Harumi : Kieran. . . you're alive.
Prince Kieran : Barely, the Sons of Garmadon engulfed Fort Lexington in flames.
Lloyd : Where are you?
Prince Kieran : Aboard The Amber's Grace with Charlie, and I know you guys have a trillion questions about Me right now, but right now I'm coming to help you guys find Lydia, it doesn't matter if Garmadon sees me, he'll find out on his own soon enough.
Empress Harumi : Alright Kieran, just be careful.
Prince Kieran : I'm not the one you need to worry about, just find Lydia, I'll be with you guys soon.
Lloyd : Okay, we'll try and hold down Sandstonia until you get here, those armored vehicles don't even matter now, we just gotta find Lydia and keep her safe.
Prince Kieran : I understand that, I'll be there soon, I love you guys.
Empress Harumi : We love you too, Kieran.
Lloyd turns off his phone and they keep walking.
Empress Harumi : I can't believe he's back.
Lloyd : I know, how is beyond me, but I feel he'll tell us that once we get Lydia out of there. . .
In Sandstonia. . .
Montgomery : So now what?
Tox : Yea, we need to get through that Gate, and if you haven't seen, it's locked.
Princess Lydia : I have an idea.
Carson : Alright, let's hear it.
Princess Lydia : I'll take the lookout right here, and take up a position, and take out the guards on top of the gate watching over the fence, have Killow break the door down, and march in from the front, half should fall before they've realized what's happened.
Shade : Crazy, I like it, let's go.
The Resistance got into their hiding places near the Front Entrance, while Lydia went towards the makeshift ladder on the side of the fence.
Montgomery : Be careful, Little Sister.
Biker : I wonder how long we'll have to wait for some action.
Princess Lydia : About three seconds.
The Bikers looked at Lydia and she pulled out her Flail and knocked out one guard on top, and threw the other over the fence.
She looked to the others and nodded for them to come towards the Gate and they did.
Tox : Is this really not as easy as it would be right now, I mean it's dark out.
Killow : Yea, but Garmadon's inside this place, and Raiding Sandstonia is our only choice now.
Montgomery : But what about my Parents, they have to be coming here right now.
Just then Brenden got a text, and while shocked, he smiled.
Brenden : Not just your Parents, Montgomery.
Montgomery : Who else besides my Parents?
Brenden : Your Brother-in-Arms.
Montgomery : Kieran?!
Brenden : Yea, your Mother said he's alive and he's coming, we gotta defend this place until they get here, luckily Garmadon doesn't know I have one team inside the "Museum".
Brenden : Morro, you guys ready?
Morro : Give us the word and we'll blow them Open.
Brenden : Alright... Killow get the door!
Killow ran straight at the door and punched it to break it down.
Just then there was a huge destructive blast.
Garmadon : Lydia!
Tox : So much for Element of Surprise.
Brenden : Morro!
Morro's Team then broke out of the "Museum" with the Tanks, and started firing.
Brenden : Cover the Princess!
Killow : Come on, we need to get the Tanks moving and get Lydia out of here.
The Tanks actually managed to go about twenty miles an hour, so they started driving out pretty quickly.
Garmadon kept chasing Lydia until a green blast of energy hit him on top of the fence, and it threw Lydia and Garmadon to the ground.
Princess Lydia : What the?
Lydia saw it wasn't Montgomery and she looked up towards the top of the fence.
Princess Lydia : Daddy?!
Lloyd : Hey Sweetheart.
Empress Harumi : Guys, cover this area, we need to wait for Charlie and Kieran.
Killow : That's easier said than done!
Tox : Sorry, but Charlie and who?
Montgomery : My brother!
Tox : Another "Demon Spawn", when will that end?
Montgomery : Oh shut it.
Lloyd was fighting with Garmadon to try and protect Lydia, while she saw a ship approaching in the distance.
Princess Lydia : The Amber's Grace.
Morro : Guys, we're getting the front line clear, our Armor's getting through the gates.
Brenden : Good, get them out of here and to the new Warehouse Garage a short distance from the base, we'll keep them there until our plan.
Richard : Easier said than done, but okay.
Alizah : Easy's not why we're here Richard.
Garmadon then blasted the fence near Lydia, and it sent her flying until she landed in front of Garmadon.
Garmadon : Hello, Granddaughter. . .
Lydia screamed as Garmadon was trying to grab her, but then she saw a weird blue light coming from a ship in the distance.
Charlie : FIRE!
The Ship's Cannons opened fire and engulfed Sandstonia in smoke.
.
.
.
Just then as the Smoke was Clearing they saw it was The Amber's Grace, and it was Charlie, along with Eric, Neuro, Shane, Karlof, and Paleman Jr.
on the far right side everybody saw a boy wearing Royal Blue and Old Gold Clothes and Chain Armor ( Prince Kieran ) but they didn't know who it was, because of their hood.
Garmadon : Charlie Smith. . .
Charlie : Lord of Idiocy. . .
Karlof : Get them!
They Charged at Garmadon and began attacking, while everybody was fighting Harumi walked over to the young boy wearing the Black and Royal Blue hood.
Empress Harumi : Kieran?!
Prince Kieran : Yea?
Empress Harumi : I still can't believe you're alive.
Prince Kieran : Focus on helping Lydia first, then worry about me, right now I'm the least of our problems.
Just then Garmadon was looking towards Harumi and Kieran and the bikers were charging at them.
Prince Kieran : Watch out!
Kieran did Spinjitzu, which was Blue and Light Gold, with it Gold and at the bottom with White and Bright Gold circles of light around it, and it turns to Blue at the top.
Kieran stopped doing Spinjitzu but Garmadon was looking at them.
Garmadon : Kieran?!?!
Prince Kieran : Well that's just great.
Kieran grabbed Harumi's hand and they ran across the battlefield, towards Montgomery.
Morro : Guys, all of our armor is through, we lost three tanks, but we got the rest.
Brenden : Get them to the Warehouse, we'll talk soon.
Morro : Alright, I'll see you guys back there, Morro out.
Killow : Well this is fun.
Suddenly they saw the Bikers were trying to get to Lydia, but she took off and ran towards the woods that were surrounded Icepeak.
Lloyd : Lydia, where are you going?!
Tox : She's running for her life what does it look like?!
Garmadon saw Lydia run into the woods and he went as well.
Prince Kieran : I'll get her.
Lloyd : Kieran, are you sure?
Prince Kieran : Yes, I'm sure... I'll be back with Lydia, just hold this Position, and get on The Amber's Grace, the second I come out with her, we're leaving!
Montgomery : Brother, I'm going with you.
Prince Kieran : Alright, just don't stay behind and wait for the right moment to pass like whenever we raced each other when we were five.
Montgomery : You're never gonna let that go are you.
Prince Kieran : Hey, it was on you for thinking running at full speed at a turn was a good idea.
Kieran and Montgomery raced into the Forest to find Lydia and save her.
Lloyd : Be careful... both of you.
In the Forest. . .
Prince Kieran : Montgomery, I'll take point.
Montgomery : Alright.
Montgomery let Kieran run farther into the Forest to find Lydia.
Prince Kieran : Lydia!
Kieran. . .
"I feel like things in my life are starting to come to a full circle, all I had done, and everything I wish had done, has lead to the moment I would return to Ninjago, but... I didn't expect it to be like this, and I know my parents and my brother and sister are going to be questioning me like crazy about this, but I don't know If I really care, all I care about is finding Lydia before this gets out of hand. . ."
Princess Lydia. . .
"While Kieran isn't exactly my brother, he's always been family to Me, who knows why his Parents sent him to Ninjago and let him behind, but if he was born in the Realm of the Rivers, which is now called The Realm of Eternal War, then obviously it had to have been for a good reason, I just hope when this is all over that Kieran will be okay, while not exactly my brother, he'll always be family to me. . ."
Prince Kieran : I'm coming Lydia, you're not gonna die little sister, not now, not today.
Just then he saw a destructive blast coming from far in the Forest, and he could hear Montgomery far behind him
Montgomery : Little Sister!
Prince Kieran : Lydia!
Princess Lydia : Somebody help Me!
Kieran then ran towards where Lydia's Screaming was coming from, and he came across a fallen tree, and he took cover, and looked over to see Lydia finished fighting the bikers, except for Garmadon.
Garmadon : It shouldn't have come down to this, Granddaughter.
Princess Lydia : Then why are you doing this?!
Garmadon : My Destructive side, and the Oni inside of always keeps me from doing what's right.
Princess Lydia : You did what was right twice before this way, why can't it happen again?
Garmadon charged at Lydia, and Kieran pulled on his hood and tried to use his sword, only for Garmadon to grab the Handle ( The Power to Kieran's Weapon, it's a Sword Handle with a Golden Dragon Head, much like the weapons the Ninja use in Season 11. ) and throw it away, and he kicked him back.
Garmadon then began trying to attack Lydia only for Garmadon to get hit with a small blast of Sand, and Brenden came through the trees.
Brenden : You dark, Menace!
Brenden tried to use his Halberd, only for Garmadon to grab him and push him back, before Brenden grabbed Kieran's Handle and throw it back to him, as Garmadon pinned Lydia to a tree. . .
Brenden kicked the Dark Lord, and shoved Lydia out of the way, as he managed to shove Garmadon into the open.
Lydia then saw the boy wearing the Black and Royal Blue hood.
Brenden : Kieran, Take the Shot!
Kieran used his powers and the Golden Handle to form a Tomahawk as the blade, and he through it.
The blade made contact with Garmadon and threw him back some distance and into a tree, which knocked him out, and the flash it made knocked Lydia out as well.
Brenden : You okay?
Prince Kieran : Yea... Lydia, come on wake up!
Kieran ran towards his sister and she regained consciousness and got to her knees, before she looked up, and saw the boy removed his hood, and was in shock when she saw the green eyes and black hair.
Princess Lydia : Kieran?!
Prince Kieran : Hey Lydia.
Princess Lydia : Kieran, You're Alive!
Lydia stood up and threw herself into Kieran's arms, and let tears soak his shoulder, and Kieran immediately wrapped his arms around his little sister and returned the hug.
Kieran and Lydia both shed their tears, and Brenden smiled at the Moment.
Montgomery came through the trees and saw Kieran hugging Lydia.
Montgomery : Kieran. . .
Kieran looked at his brother-in-arms, only to see him run towards them, and join the hug.
Prince Kieran : I'm sorry... I'm sorry I was gone so long.
Princess Lydia : Where we you?
Prince Kieran : You really want to talk about that in front of that guy?
Kieran pointed to Garmadon and the three of them laughed through their tears.
Montgomery : Probably not.
Prince Kieran : Okay, once we're out of here, We'll talk.
Montgomery : You and my sister never stop wearing Gold.
Prince Kieran : And you prefer to not wear Gold at all, big deal.
Brenden : Kieran, forgetting something?
Kieran looked back just for Brenden to hand him his Dragon Handle, and the Tomahawk disappeared.
Montgomery : What is it?
Prince Kieran : My Elemental Weapon is just a Handle, because my Imagination can form any weapon on it.
Princess Lydia : Cool.
Kieran but the handle on the holster he had on his back, and they kept walking.
Princess Lydia : Do our Mommy and Daddy know?
Prince Kieran : Yes, I called them before I came over here with Charlie.
Montgomery : Lydia, what were you thinking?
Princess Lydia : I was just trying to help.
Prince Kieran : Well your help put the two of us on our Grandfather's Radar, and now I don't know how were gonna get off it.
Just then they heard Garmadon getting up and they saw the Bikers coming after them.
Brenden : Okay less talking, more running!
The four of them ran and tried to make it out of the Forest. . .
On The Amber's Grace. . .
The Resistance was waiting for Kieran and Montgomery to come back with Lydia, but they couldn't see them.
Clayton, Carson, Killow, Tox, Shade, Harumi, and Lloyd were on the ground waiting will the others were on the ship.
Lloyd : Maybe we should go help them.
Empress Harumi : Lloyd, Kieran said to wait here.
Lloyd : Yea, and I'm not leaving without them.
Just then they saw Kieran, Montgomery, Lydia, and Brenden come out of the Forest.
Lloyd smiled faded just as they saw perhaps half of the Sons of Garmadon come out after them.
Lloyd : Time to Go!
Shade : Come on!
Everybody got on the ship and the thrusters turned on with Montgomery and Brenden getting on first, and Kieran got Lydia onto the ship, but it started moving.
Princess Lydia : Kieran!
Kieran jumped up and grabbed Charlie's hand, and he pulled him onto the ship.
Prince Kieran : Go!
Tox grabbed the wheel and used the Thrusters at a high speed and flew away from Sandstonia.
Garmadon : NOOOOOOOOO!
Prince Kieran : That destructive scumbag.
10 Minutes Later. . .
Most of the Resistance went below the ship, except for Lloyd who was on the deck, and Lydia came up and ran towards Lloyd.
When he saw Lydia, she jumped into his arms.
Princess Lydia : Daddy!
Lloyd caught Lydia, and tears instantly started leaving their eyes as they hugged each other.
Princess Lydia : I love you so much. . .
Lloyd : I love you too Lydia... so much.
Princess Lydia : I'm sorry.
Lloyd : For what?
Princess Lydia : I'm sorry I let him escape.
Lloyd : I'm not letting you blame yourself for that Lydia, that wasn't your fault, and you didn't drag any of us into this mess.
Princess Lydia : I resurrected him, and you as well, how is that not dragging you into this?
Lloyd : Okay, you may have brought me into this, but that doesn't mean this was your fault, and it was your brother's either.
Princess Lydia : What about Kieran?
Lloyd : What about him?
Princess Lydia : I don't know, I guess... After this long, the peace I had in my life, I made a promise, and I broke it... because I completely forgot about him, until I looked into his eyes.
Lloyd : He's been missing for a year Lydia, I'm sure none of us could have expected him to just come back, the same way your Mother and I felt about Brenden, when he was missing for seven years.
Princess Lydia : Daddy. . .
Lloyd : Yea?
Princess Lydia : I'm really really sorry.
Lloyd : Why?
Princess Lydia : Your birthday.
Lloyd was confused at first, but let that memory come back into his head about what happened with the Mechanic, and then his argument with her the other day.
Lloyd had tears in his eyes as he tightly hugged Lydia as he carried her in his arms, and she was still crying on his shoulder.
Lloyd : Lydia...
Princess Lydia : Y-yes?
Lloyd : That wasn't your Fault, I overreacted... our lives have been under complete stress over the past six months, and... I was just letting anger consume Me, and I said something I shouldn't have, what you said I didn't really hurt me, I just let my feelings take over.
Princess Lydia : You're not mad at Me?
Lloyd : Sweetheart, I'm not mad at you, and I never will be...
Lydia felt a huge weight fall off her shoulders after what Lloyd said, and as she slowly stopped crying, she smiled, and hugged her Father as Lloyd carried Lydia in his arms.
Princess Lydia : I love you so much Daddy. . .
Lloyd : I love you too Lydia.
Just then Harumi walked up the stairs to the deck and saw Lloyd and Lydia, and she smiled before speaking.
Empress Harumi : Lloyd.
Lloyd : Yea?
Empress Harumi : The Ship's autopilot will have us back in the city by Tomorrow, in time Kieran wants to talk.
Lloyd : Alright.
Lloyd kissed Lydia's cheek and let her down and they walked below deck of the ship.
5 Minutes Later. . .
Everybody was in the Sleeping Quarters of the ship, and were waiting for Kieran to start talking.
Prince Kieran : There's a lot for me to be saying, so what is it you guys want to know?
Lloyd : Kieran, how about you say how you got lost in the first place.
Prince Kieran : You already know why. . .
Lloyd : Yea, but do the others?
Prince Kieran : It was near the end of May in 2044, when the Royal Palace was being attacked by Terrorists. . .
May 27th, 2044. . .
The Mechanic and his Group of "Followers" were raiding the Palace with a small portion of the Sons of Garmadon, in search of Lloyd, though nobody knew why. . .
The Royal Palace Guards and The Police had easily taken care of them, but near the entrance to the Gates, the entire royal family cornered the Mechanic near his truck, and where within 5 feet of him.
Lloyd : Mechanic, drop the Flamethrower, it's done.
Mechanic : None of this is done, and in time, your son will be, if I don't get what I want.
Empress Harumi : Why would you want Lloyd anyway?
Mechanic : I'm tired of trying to take Ninjago, when there are always people who stand in the way, to take Ninjago, first you gotta take the Protectors, and by taking, I mean hurting?
Prince Kieran : How would you do that?
Mechanic : By hurting the People close to them.
Ultraviolet : Imagine what would happen if something bad happened to their little bundles of joy?!
Mechanic : We'll leave, but we forgot one thing.
Lloyd : What?!
Harumi saw the Mechanic had a Force Gun and he took a stop forward.
Empress Harumi : No!
The Mechanic grabbed Kieran and used the Gun to launch themselves and Ultraviolet into the truck and it drove off.
Lloyd : Kieran!
Now. . .
Prince Kieran : I've been missing since, but what hurt Me is that you guys never found me, or in the Mechanic's case, you weren't even trying.
Lloyd : Because of the Crime in the city at the time, they wouldn't let us leave the Palace, we were as confined to it as you and Lydia. . .
Empress Harumi : Kieran, we eventually got to the Mechanic's Warehouse, but you weren't there and they were, what happened to you?
Tox : Kieran's not even related to you guys, how was he living with you?
Lloyd : We found him when he was a baby, he was unconscious at the Harbor of Ninjago City, with some sort of note, all I knew was that it was from The Realm of the Rivers, and if you're gonna do sort of sacrifice to save a child, then it would make sense why he was there.
Kieran bit his lip and sighed as he started talking.
August 2nd, 2044. . .
One week Before the Pirates escape . . .
Kieran was chained in The Mechanic's Warehouse, and the Mechanic entered the room.
Mechanic : Look who's awake.
Prince Kieran : Screw... you.
Mechanic : Gee, what's with the attitude.
Prince Kieran : Starve me, and chain we all you want, the second I'm out of these chains, I'm going to kick your butt.
Mechanic : Say that, doesn't mean I'll believe it.
Mechanic : And with these things, I'll be able to be out of this place for good.
Kieran saw The Mechanic was holding a few of the shards of the Realm Crystal, and they still had their power inside them.
Kieran also saw that the chains weren't Vengestone, since he used his powers.
The Mechanic walked out of the room and went away, and another guard walked in.
Kieran knew he had to escape, so he used his powers to break the chains.
Guard : What The?!
Kieran grabbed the guard and saw a Golden Handle with a Dragon Head, and he hit the guard in the head to knock him out, and suddenly his powers formed a weapon on the handle
Prince Kieran : Whoa.
"Seeing my Powers do such a thing confused me, but it was better to believe it than be confused by it."
Just then two more guards walked in.
Guard : How'd you get out?
Prince Kieran : I would tell you, but then I'd have to end you... eh, I'm gonna do that anyway.
The two guards pulled out their weapons, which were just a Baseball Bat and a Metal Pipe.
Kieran pulled out the Dragon Handle and it formed a Rapier, which is a straight bladed sword.
Guard 2 : Oh dear.
Kieran then charged at the Guards, and used his sword to take out the guards.
He was dodging their attacks and then did something surprising, when he swung his sword at the Guards.
Prince Kieran : Ninja-Go!
Kieran did Spinjitzu, and took the guards out, and he left the room.
"Why am I not surprised by that?"
"Charlie, not now."
"Kieran, where does this have to go with your disappearance?"
"I'm getting there."
Kieran walked down the hall and saw a Portal Opening.
Prince Kieran : Hey!
The Mechanic turned around to see Kieran, and there were people banging on the Garage door entrance behind him.
Commissioner Stevens : You're under arrest, Mechanic!
Mechanic : Tell that to the judge!
Kieran ran towards the "Stage" where the Mechanic was, and the Portal was growing unstable.
The Portal started pulling objects into it, and Kieran was trying to the keep The Mechanic from escaping.
Mechanic : So long, you Lexington Prince!
Prince Kieran : Farewell!
Kieran grabbed the Shards of the Realm Crystal, and was pulled into the Portal as it closed.
Mechanic : No!
The Police broke the door down, and Harumi and Lloyd came in.
Empress Harumi : Alright Mechanic... Where's Kieran?!
The Mechanic gave a small evil laugh before giving his response.
Mechanic : He just used my only ticket out of here, your Son-in-Arms is gone. . .
Now. . .
Empress Harumi : Kieran, where did that Portal send you?
Prince Kieran : The Realm of the Rivers... The Mechanic was trying to help his goons and The Pirates escape the same way Vex let them out.
Princess Lydia : How long were you there?
Prince Kieran : Only a week, I left the same way Landon and Harmony did, which was through the Portal the others used to get to Ninjago.
Montgomery : Were you at Fort Lexington the whole time?
Prince Kieran : Yes, and the reason The Mask of Fear and The Oni's Maps were in Ninjago only a short time later, was because I found them in the Realm of the Rivers, but because the Pirates and the Villain's Order attacked the fleet escaping the realm, they were stolen, The Mask of Fear was sent to the Museum, and The Plague Doctor stole the Manuscript for Garmadon, before Eric stole it again.
Prince Kieran : Since then I was just working with Fort Lexington's Army, just trying to find a way back home since, and when I heard my Grandfather was sending the Sons of Garmadon to kill Paul, I figured somebody was coming. . .
Charlie : He was right on that.
Prince Kieran : And after Charlie and I jumped off the cliff of Camp 494. . .
Empress Harumi : Kieran... what happened?
Prince Kieran : All of Fort Lexington... was engulfed in Flames, he destroyed everything, I was only curious of how they found Me.
Montgomery : Well they won't find us now.
Princess Lydia : Yea, we're all heading back to where we belong for now, and now that the whole family's back, the only thing left to do is Liberate Ninjago piece by piece, until we bring the fight to Borg Tower.
Tox : Why can't we do that now?
Carson : Does this many people look like an army to you?!
Tox looked around and shook her head.
Tox : Never mind.
Montgomery and Lydia stood up and hugged their brother, and Kieran returned the hug, everybody else left the room except for Lloyd and Harumi who stayed back and hugged their kids, and more importantly, Lydia and Kieran. . .
3 Hours Later. . .
It's after Midnight, with everybody on the ship asleep, except for The Grandchildren of Garmadon, and their Brother-in-Arms, Kieran Holden.
The four of them were already in their pajamas, but none of them could fall asleep.
Kieran, Montgomery, Lydia, and Alizah were on the deck of the ship in the bridge talking to each other.
Prince Kieran : That's how I got back.
Princess Lydia : I'm just happy you're back Kieran.
Montgomery : Me too.
Alizah : So you actually met your parents?
Prince Kieran : Yea, Mary and Captain Holden, while it was shocking to me, I guess I can understand their sacrifice, at least everybody's alive, I'm just glad I'm still breathing.
Alizah : I'm sure Liam would be also if he was here.
Prince Kieran : Where is he?
Alizah : Realm of Oni and Dragons, with the rest of our friends, apart from The Resistance.
Just then, Charlie came to the bridge, and he was wearing his pajamas same as the others.
Charlie : Hey Guys.
Montgomery : Can't sleep.
Charlie : After yesterday, No.
Princess Lydia : I don't know what I was thinking, now I know how my Daddy feels when he was stuck being "Protected" by our parents.
Lloyd : Now you understand.
Lloyd came into the bridge, wearing his Thin Forest Green Overcoat over his Sensei Robes he got from Garmadon in Season 5.
Princess Lydia : Daddy, I'm sorry, we-
Lloyd : It's okay Lydia, I'm not blaming you guys.
Lloyd looked at Kieran and saw he had his hair with a Dark Blue band around his head, and another around the small bun that was on the top ( Which was how Cole's Hair was in the Lego Ninjago Movie when he wore his suit, and how Master Wu was when he was turned into a Teenager, except the bands were Dark Blue instead of Brown or Gold )
Lloyd : Kieran, I think your hair looks better that way.
Prince Kieran : Pretty sure I do more things with my hair than my parents do... or Lydia.
Princess Lydia : Oh ha ha.
Prince Kieran : No Clue how this is gonna go, considering Garmadon knows I'm alive also.
Lloyd : If I may ask, why are your powers Blue and Gold?
Prince Kieran : My Powers were always Blue, they just turn Gold or Lavender Purple whenever I use my Imagination for a Creative or Destructive Purpose, but with how long my powers have been used for Creativity, and for the Good side of things, they've what I think to have permanently shifted their own balance to the right side... Good, Creation, or the easiest way to say it... My powers saw the Light.
Alizah : Cool.
Prince Kieran : I'm just happy nobody else is dead... again.
Lloyd : Oh... Real Funny.
Kieran and Lydia both giggled, and Lloyd shook his head as he smiled at them.
Alizah : Uncle Lloyd.
Lloyd : Yea Alizah?
Alizah : Is my brother gonna come back?
Lloyd : He will, Mystake said so, all we have to do now is endure.
Princess Lydia : Now that Kieran's back, and we got word to most of our allies, we have our army, now we just need to Fight.
Montgomery : Best way to do that is to take back our Realm, piece by piece.
Princess Lydia : And we're gonna start that Tomorrow.
Lydia walked over and raised her arms, and Lloyd grabbed Lydia and carried her, as they all went below the deck, to try and get their rest.
The Next Day. . .
The Amber's Grace was docked, and had it's Cloak ( Or how Xavier says it, "Stealth' Barrier" ) on so the Bikers wouldn't find it.
The Resistance had Killow open the door and they walked inside, only Kieran was staying outside while that Scan happened and he wanted Killow to give them a signal.
Kieran changed his hair again to where it was the same style as Okino and Unagami, only difference was his Hair was naturally black ( Unagami's was white ) and the shaft in his hair was Royal Blue instead of Maroon or Red.
Inside The Garbage Depot. . .
Everybody walked inside while Killow was standing near the door waiting for Kieran to text Lloyd.
Liv : So how did that go?
Lloyd : Oh just Incredible Liv, Dad ambushed us, made Lydia run into a Forest, Charlie came and saved our butts, and Lydia ran into an older brother, and it wasn't Montgomery.
Liv : What?!
Lloyd saw he got the text, and he nodded at Killow.
Killow opened the door, and the boy that was standing there peeked his head up.
Prince Kieran : Guess who?
Liv and Misako : Kieran?!
Prince Kieran : Well that's the reaction I expected.
Misako : Lloyd, where did you find him?!
Lloyd : He found us, and saved our butts at Sandstonia.
Paul : Yea, after he saved ours.
Liv : What happened to Fort Lexington?
Prince Kieran : The Sons of Garmadon engulfed the entire fort and the town in Flames... The Great Lexington Fire, that's gonna take forever to fix.
Misako : Was Garmadon there?
Prince Kieran : No, it was Skip Vicious... Or as I like to call him, Mr. Ridiculous Name.
The kids laughed at what Kieran said, especially Lydia and Montgomery.
Harmony : That fort can be replaced Kieran.
Prince Kieran : Yea, but all of the People can't, and I'm sure several didn't make it out of that Fire.
Charlie : I'm pretty sure it's still a can't, it'll take days for that Fire to die.
Princess Lydia : Nothing will be able to make the fire inside of my heart die, we'll avenge the people lost in that Fort, and the same to the Formlings' Kingdom.
Carson : I'm all for that Lydia, what do we do?
Princess Lydia : We brainstorm more ideas, my Grandfather's catching up to us, and very soon he'll find out we're here, so to make sure we get a chance at taking back our Realm, we take the fight to the Sons of Garmadon, and that means striking at one of their hearts.
Everybody nodded as Lydia her right hand on her hip and raised her left arm, and the others raised their arms as well.
Everybody : The Resistance Never Quits!
Next Time on The Masks of Garmadon : While leaving the Ships at the Harbor, and the Armored Vehicles at The Warehouse in the City, until they decided to fight and bring down The Sons of Garmadon, The Resistance plans to take back Ninjago, but with The Formlings' Kingdom on high alert after Sandstonia, it'll take a while, with Lydia and Montgomery bonding with their Brother-in-Arms now that he's back, and while he's glad that he's home, he's more focused on the current matter of stopping Garmadon, and wants to make sure everything's in check, especially after Sandstonia and Lexington, and he decides to make himself useful with helping the Formlings. . .
Will the Resistance take back The Formlings' Kingdom? Will Garmadon locate his Grandchildren? Will The Sons of Garmadon fall?

To Be Continued. . . . .
