General Cryptor and his Nindroids finally land back at Borg Industries, where they line up to honor their ruler-the Golden Master.
The Overlord marches between the two lines of robots, and commands Cyrus to flee; since he has completed his mission, the Overlord no longer needs him.
As the villain questions if the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu have been melted down for his weapon, Cryptor frees Cyrus from the OverBorg.
Cyrus asks if there is anything he can do to stop the villains, but the Nindroid General declares that all he can do is to bow down to the Overlord. And again the Overlord questions where is his daughter.
Back in space, the Ninja despair after repeated failed attempts to escape the comet. Lloyd refuses to give up.
"We can't give up, the city needs us" Lloyd said
"Forget it, nobody can help us!" Kai shouted
"Aw poor ninja"
They heard a dragon roar. They all looked up. The dragon turned gold and Aria jumped off it, Aria's dress turning gold.
"Aria" the ninja all said
"Did you really think i was going to leave you here?" She asked
"Well"
"Maybe"
"Yeah"
"We did"
"So mean" she pouted
"But the important thing is that your here now" Zane said
"And looking so cute" Kai said
"Lloyd gets a gold suit and Aria gets a gold dress" Cole said
"Aria looks like a princess, hey Lloyd's the prince of light and Aria's the princess of light" Jay said making Aria and Lloyd blush
Aria climbed back on her dragon "get on"
The Overlord has begun an attack on New Ninjago City, but the citizens of Ninjago are filled with hope when they see the Ninja returning on Aria's dragon.
P.I.X.A.L. uses a motorcycle to catch up with her friends, using her power to land them on their vehicles. As the Ninja reunite with their allies, Cyrus tells them that they should head for the Temple of Fortitude, a place where the Overlord and the First Spinjitzu Master battled long ago.
He claims there's a shield at the place, so the Nindroids won't harm them, and there is something he wants to give them that may help them save the world.
The Ninja begin travelling to the temple, but pause when they see the Golden Master's path of destruction. Nya then crashes because she was hit by a car the Overlord threw.
Lloyd reminds his friends that the only way to save Ninjago is to reach the Temple of Fortitude, but the Overlord sees them and uses a massive Spinjitzu tornado against them.
The Ninja swiftly run back, rendezvousing with Cyrus, Wu, and Garmadon. While the Ninja jump past various items blocking their path, Nya defeats two Nindroids.
Confronted by General Cryptor himself, Nya claims that Min-Droid is better than him just as the latter walks by-naturally, Cryptor denies this.
The miniature Nindroid overhears Cryptor's boast of superiority, and the resulting attack on his general allows Nya to leave. The Ninja finally make it, and Wu and Garmadon close the doors, which activate their shields.
There Cyrus gives them the ultimate weapon-a pill. Jay is angry that all they had was a pill. Borg then explains that it was no ordinary pill; it could make anyone shrink.
Garmadon realizes that when he and Wu were still young, they use to play a game which involves Wu hitting an object with their staff, and they would never lose. Using this thought he forms an idea: Wu and him would hit the pill straight into the Overlord's mouth.
The shield is starting to break; Nya comes and destroys a couple Nindroids, and buys some time for the Ninja. Borg gives the Ninja armor which protects them from some attacks from the Overlord.
Aria didn't need any. The ninjas didn't think this was a good idea but who can argue with someone who can turn evil in a matter of seconds.
The Ninja go into Ninjago City, where they manage to make it to the Golden Master, who has created a massive spider web around Borg Tower using the Golden Power.
Wu hits the pill, which heads straight to the Overlord's mouth, but Pythor sacrifices himself and swallows the pill instead. As a result, Pythor shrinks down to the size of a worm before being immediately chased away by the Falcon, presumably to be eaten again.
The Golden Master is outraged that the Ninja try to shrink him. He obtains the Ninja with his Golden Power only to miss Zane. The Ninja of Ice tells his friends to support him one last time, and the Ninja bounce him.
Although, during the process, he landed and touched the Golden Master's gold and starts to overload from his power. He refuses to let go, due to the fact that Ninja never quit, which frees his friends except Aria.
"Zane let go!" Aria shouted
As he reaches maximum capacity, he gratefully remembers his past, the time with the ninjas, the times Aria came over when she was a little girl once Aria broke his arm and started crying, Zane then showed her how to fix him.
Zane looked at Aria and closed his eyes, he freezes the Overlord at the expense of his life. Aria was released and she looked up.
"Zane your an ass!" Shw shouted and started crying
The Ninja are heartbroken that Zane has passed, and proceed to his funeral.
Borg makes a speech "I thought technology was the best way to destroy problems, but instead it caused more" He now names Zane the Titanium Ninja.
He passed the microphone to Kai. "No one knew what powered Zane, I thought it was brotherhood, because that's how Zane powered me"
When he finished the speech, snow began to appear. Lloyd hugged Aria who was hiding away from everyone for she could not touch the snow.
They don't know why, she just can't touch snow. Lloyd looked up from Aria and the rest of the ninjas came over and hugged her.
"Aria" Jay started
"Go ahead" Cole continued
"Nobody can see you" Kai finished and Aria started bursting into tears
P.I.X.A.L. leans on a window in Borg's office, grieving. However, the place began to show memories of her and Zane, from the first day they met.
She wonders if it could be a message from Zane. P.I.X.A.L. runs to another side of the building, realizing machines are folowing her.
"Are we compatible now?"
Aria walked up the the frozen mass that used to be her father.
"Oh papa" she whispered as a tear fell down her face
"Sorry everyone" Aria said putting her hands on her frozen father.
Her hands glowed dark purple and her father's figure was covered by purple energy.
He started shrinking until all that was left was a frozen black raven. Her hands glowed black and started whispering a spell.
Her hands started turning dark purple, her dark element being the cause. Her hands and some of her arms were dark purple.
The Overlord, now unfrozen, opened his eyes, he was nothing but a small black raven. Aria held out her arm, he flew onto her arm and rubbed his head against her head.
"Good girl Aria, good girl."
