Inside the ribcage's hallway, Lloyd wakes up, moaning as he gets up and gasped. He finds himself in an open cage before he leaves and looks around as sounds of wailing and murmuring were heard. Lloyd soon saw it was ghosts on his left side, coming out of something before he turns right and runs down the path, passing by cages, one of which has Chen inside it. "Who the hell was that?" He asked. "Was that Lloyd?"

"You're seeing things again, Master Chen." Heianmofa, who is in the cage next to his, replied as he was using a file on the bars before groaning. "Come on, that bitch was let out, so why can't I?!"

Lloyd soon comes to the end of the path before he sees someone at the end, chained up and gasped as he recognised who it is. "Dad!" He yelled.

Oni looks up and sees his son. "Lloyd?" He asked. He was back in his human form. Lloyd soon ran over to him and hugged him before looking at the chains holding him. "My son." Before he lowered his head, presumably exhausted.

"I'll get you out of here, Dad." Lloyd tries to hit one of the pillars that are holding the chains.

"There's no use. These chains will not break."

"Where are we?"

"The Cursed Realm is the Preeminent, and the Preeminent is the Cursed Realm. Son, you're in the belly of the beast. But if you're in here-"

"Morro is the Green Ninja. And he's stolen the Realm Crystal. I tried, Father."

"You must not give up. If he has the crystal, all is endangered."

"But how? I'm not the Green Ninja anymore."

"It was never the colour of the gi that made you who you are. It was the colour of your heart. Don't give up."

"I won't, Father."

"You must leave here and destroy the Preeminent. Save Ninjago. Save the realms."

"But if I destroy it, it could destroy you."

"Whatever happens to me, wherever I am, I will always be with you. There comes a time when every boy must become a man. What sort of man is up to him. And what Geoff told me as he fought his father, you will have to stand on your own without me."

In Ninjago, the Ninja are using their powers and Aeroblades to defend the citizens from the Preeminent. "I thought you were gonna get closer." Nya said to Kai.

Kai throws his Aeroblade at a tentacle. "You don't think I'm trying?!" He asked as he caught it.

"It's too late." Dragon said as he and Misako came up to them. "We have to get to the ship and protect the people."

Blake soon looked at the blade and turned to Dragon. "WATCH OUT!" He yelled, getting out his Aeroblade and threw it at a tentacle behind him and it moves away as he chuckled and looked at it while catching his returning Aeroblade. "I like this thing."

"But what about Lloyd?" Gewuji asked.

"This is what Lloyd would've wanted." Misako replied.

"To the ship, but we're not leaving anyone else behind!" Kai yelled.

A tentacle soon wrapped around Zane's mech, knocking it over. "Whoa!" He yelled as he fell out.

Blake comes up to a woman and her child. "Follow me." He said, leading them away along with the others as the tentacles tried to grab them.

At the ship, the Ninja, Dragon, Misako and the people they came across along the way, head to the ship as some tentacles come by, but Blake gets out the sword and, alongside his Aeroblade, starts striking them. "Go on!" He keeps striking them as they get on the ship.

"That's all of them." Tania said as the S/N Tank was also on the ship. "We need to get this ship to sea to put as much water between us as possible."

"No problem." Blake soon struck a rope with the sword as the ship soon take off before he sees Morro land in front of him. "Maybe one problem."

Morro laughs evilly as he held the Realm Crystal. "It's Morro!" Cole yelled.

"Look out, Blake!" Cirrus yelled.

"I'll get him." Gewuji replied, conjuring an ice spike.

"Count me in." Kai said, conjuring fire in his hands.

Morro soon charged at Blake, grabs hold of him and forces him to use his wind power on them, knocking them back. "Go, get outta here!" Blake yelled as he kicks Morro back and struck a tentacle. "I got this." He soon looked at the blade as Morro's next move would be to possess him for the third time. But as Morro was about to, Blake falls back as Morro appears over him and Blake smiles. "Boo." He soon held his hands out, blowing Morro back and he lands on his side as Blake gets back up.

"I will get my powers back, even if it takes all of my strength!" Morro yelled as he floats into the air and comes down, slamming his foot into the floorboards, but Blake somersaults to avoid it.

On the ship, the citizens see Blake jumping over Morro and he was about to slam him again, but breaks the floorboards before Nya came up to the captain as he was drinking some rum. "Is this as fast as it goes?" She asked.

"It's a paddle steamer, not a rocket ship." The captain replied.

Back at the dock, Morro dodges Blake's strike before kicking him, knocking him back as he came up to him. Blake stabs the sword into the ground as he got back up and got out his Aeroblade, but Morro quickly kicked it out of his hand and kicked him, knocking him down. As he was about to come at him again, someone lands between them. "What?" Morro asked. "You again?"

It was Lloyd, wearing his father's kimono. "Yeah, I'm back." He replied as he held a katana. "I believe you have something of mine."

Morro looks at the Realm Crystal before charging at him, but Lloyd dodges him as Blake got up and swung the sword at Morro, but he kicks him, knocking the sword aside and prepared to go for it. "Lloyd, don't let him get the sword!" Blake yelled.

"Take this!" Lloyd conjures an energy ball and throws it at him, knocking him at a window and he breaks through it.

Everyone on the boat cheers as Lloyd waves to them while picking up the sword. "Yeah!" They yelled. "Alright, Lloyd!"

"Lloyd." Gewuji said, shedding a tear.

"That robe!" Geoff yelled.

"He's wearing his father's robe." Dragon replied.

"Blake, get to the ship and tell Ronin to protect the people and help the other Ninja take out the stilts." Lloyd said and Blake nods. "We need to drop the Preeminent into the sea." Blake soon takes off for the ship while picking up his Aeroblade.

Blake flies up to the ship using his Wind power before landing next to the others. "Lloyd says that we need to take out the stilts." He said. "Let's sink that big bitch."

Jay groaned as he and the others prepare themselves. "Why didn't we think of that earlier?" He asked.

"That's why he's the leader." Gewuji replied, referring to her love interest.

"Ronin, protect the people, we'll take care of the Preeminent." Blake said to Ronin.

"I got it, Blake." Ronin replied as Cirrus soon came up to him.

"Blake, be safe." She said.

"I will, Cirrus." Blake replied as they soon look at each other and move closer to kiss each other.

"Blake, it's now or never!" Jay yelled, stopping them before they could kiss, as Blake turned to him before turning back to Cirrus.

"I'll be back." He soon comes up to the other Ninja.

"Ninjago!" Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole, Geoff and Blake yelled as they did Airjitzu to get back onto the dock.

"Let me handle the powerless blowhard." Lloyd said as he poised with both weapons.

"You would attack an unarmed man?" Morro asked.

"That wouldn't be honourable." Lloyd soon threw the katana to Morro, who catches it.

"You think you're better than me? No one is better than me!" He charges at Lloyd while raising his sword, which Lloyd quickly blocked before spinning to block another strike as he backed away before firing a ball of energy, which Morro dodges by tilting back and Lloyd prepares to strike, but Morro blocks the sword.

"Impressive. My uncle taught you well."

"There's more where that came from!" Morro soon forces Lloyd back and prepared to strike, but Lloyd blocks it before going for a counter striking, which Morro blocks before he forces the sword back and kicks Lloyd in the face, making him backflip.
