Lloyd POV: Even though I have my memories, powers, and skills back there were definitely some things that still didn't make sense.
Wu took Jay and I back to the others.
When Mom saw me and asked, "You remember?"
"Yeah, now explain to me why you didn't try to tell before Kai was taken by him." I said, putting my hands on the table.
"We decided that you all deserved to live a normal, however long or short it was. We never suspected that you would learn it like this." dad said.
"If that's true then why did you tell Kai?" Nya said.
"We didn't. He never lost his memories." Regina said. I remember how we met her. During a mission concerning some rogue Serpentine. She was finishing up with them. She helped us with the ones that managed to get away after revealing that she was the elemental master of manipulation. She also introduced us to Jewel, who is the master of protection.
"How is that possible?" Cole asked.
"We don't know. We think it's because he was with me and Jewel when I started the reset." Regina continued. I remember that too.
An enemy had released a large amount of deadly energy before we could stop them. Regina had the idea to use her power to reset Ninjago so the power would disappear on its own. I didn't know that memory lost was a side effect of that.
"Then who was Kai and Jewel fighting? He seems familiar now." I asked.
They looked at each other and Wu said, "It was the Overlord."
"What?!" we all yelled. We have to deal with him still.
"Yes, unfortunately." Wu said.
"Do you know where his base is?" Jay asked.
"Not currently." Jewel said, once again relaxing into her seat.
"That's where you come in Lloyd. Your connection between your power should lead us straight to them." Dad said.
I nodded, but before that we got ready. Sensei Wu had kept all of our ninja gear and weapons for us. It feels nice to be in this uniform again.
Once we got on his trail we immediately took off. Luckily for us they weren't too far off from the city, but they were also deep underground. As soon as we got close we sneaked in. It didn't look like he had no followers here so that's a plus. But still no sign of Kai yet.
"Where is he?" Nya whispered
"Not here." Jay answered.
"Thanks Jay. That helped a lot." She said, looking annoyed.
"He's probably just up ahead. Let's hurry." I said, continuing.
Finally we got to the main room that was shaped like an arena. Kai was in a cage that was hanging from one of the chains on the ceiling.
He was leaning his back on the bars with his arms crossed. The annoyed look on his face told me that he was done being there.
Then He came in. The last time we saw the Overlord in a human-like form was when Zane sacrificed himself.
He walked to the center, looked up at Kai, and said, "Still comfortable, I hope."
"Yeah, feel right at home." Kai responded, dipped with sarcasm.
"Good. I would feel bad if it were any less." Then he laughed his signature laugh. He is very creepy.
"You are definitely going to regret keeping me here. Once the others get here-"
"The others? You mean the ninja? They don't even remember who they really are. How can they even hope to come close to me?" he said, then laughed again.
Oh you are going to be extremely surprised.
"Here's the plan: Nya and Jay, you will get Kai out of that cage while the rest of us distract him until you join us. Then we take him down once and for all." I said, and they all nodded.
Cole, Zane, and I quietly jumped onto the chains. Kai saw us and blinked. When Nya and Jay jumped to his chain he looked up. He smirked slightly and nodded to us.
Then we jumped down, our weapons, and I said, "I think we can get close enough."
He turned, froze for a second, and then said, "I should have known. You ninja never know when to give up, but that doesn't matter. It's just the three of you and I have one of you as my prisoner."
Kai, Nya, and Jay, timing it just right, jumped down and took out their own weapons. Seems like the Overlord didn't feel the need to take Kai's swords.
"Looks like our numbers just doubled." I said, pointing my sword at him. Then we charged.
I jumped up and slashed downwards. He blocked the strike, but couldn't when Cole nailed him in the back with his powered up fist. He roared then swirled me around, directly at him. That knocked us both back and Zane froze his feet in place. He looked down while Kai, Jay, and Nya all landed a heavy blow at all sides. He burst into purple flames, melting the ice, and charged at Zane. He tried to jump to the side, but the Overlord reached out at him and threw him into the wall. Jay kicked him away while Nya checked on him. Kai slashed at his back while he was focused on Jay, in which he roared at the pain.
He summoned a fist full of purple flame and swung it at him. Kai backed away, avoiding the fist. I got back up and shot an energy ball at him, which got him in the chest and knocked him into the wall. All of us regrouped and prepared ourselves.
He got out of the wall and tried to stand up, but fell down. Looks like all of our hits have taken its toll on him.
He laughed with a cruel smile on his face.
"What's so funny? I thought you hate losing." Kai said, pointing his sword at him.
"That's right. And who said that I'm losing?" he said, looking up. Even covered in shadows he looked beat up.
That doesn't make any sense. We won and he's beaten. In his own place, even if it was empty and quiet…
Wait.
Oh no.
"We have to get out of here!" I said. They got it immediately.
He laughed loudly as we ran down the halls. Soon we heard an explosion behind us. He wanted us here so he could take us all out. Even at the cost of his own life.
We made it out just time, but we didn't stop until we made it back onto the deck of the Bounty. We were all panting when we did. Jay collapsed then started to laugh.
After a few moments of thinking that he had lost it we joined him. It wasn't the first, and probably won't be the last, time that we almost blew up.
"Let's try to not do that again." I said, calming down.
"Agreed. It was not a fun walk in the park. Being kidnapped and forced to hear him go on and on about how 'great' he was." Kai said, and sighed in relief.
Mom, dad, Regina, Jewel, who was told to stay on board by everyone, and Sensei Wu came out and greeted us.
"When the bomb went off we were worried. Thank goodness that you're alright." mom said, hugging me.
"We're fine. The Overlord is finished, for real time." I said, pulling after a few moments.
"Hopefully." Cole said.
"Right. But at least this is over now." Kai said.
"Yes. Now we can discuss the issue of you keeping the truth from us." Nya said, putting her hand on his shoulder and squeezed.
"Uh Nya I can explain.." he said, nervously.
"You got that right." she said, and pulled him away. He mouthed help, but we are powerless to save him. As soon as the door closed we could hear Nya punching him hard and heard something crash.
"I feel bad for him." I said.
"Yeah." everyone else said at the same time."
The end.
