As the villagers ran into their homes with some of them on fire, Chen and the Anacondrai look around as Chen laughed. "Run!" He yelled. "Run away." He soon sees a nearby cultist member as he moved along. "Oh, watch your step." He then turned to a nearby cultist member. "I feel sorry for them, Zugu. They rely so heavily on the Ninja they don't know what to do when they're not here. Doesn't anyone want to fight?!" An apple soon hits his head. He turns to see it was a young girl, who threw the apple before a cultist member throws a rock at her, nearly hitting her as she runs away and Chen laughs. "Onward, my slithering soldiers, until there is no village left unturned!" The Anacondrai soon spread out.

In the Sea of Sand, Kai is in the driver's seat of the truck as he tunes the radio. "Chen has- -kai Village- everyone-" Blake's voice was heard in the radio.

"I can't read you, Blake, repeat!" Kai replied.

In the snowy forest, Jay is in the driver's seat of the truck as he tunes the radio. "-attacked first- nothing- stop them."

"You're breaking up!" Jay yelled. "Where do you need us? We're all scattered and there's no time to play fill in the blanks!"

Near the Mountain of a Million Steps, Gewuji had just replaced the tire and was now in the driver's seat of the truck as she tunes the radio. "Can- one- me-?"

"Blake, I can't hear you!" Gewuji yelled.

In the mountains, Lloyd is in the driver's seat of the truck as he tunes the radio. "Hurry- too late-"

"Tell us where we need to go!" Lloyd yelled. "I can't use my Dragon Power so if anyone is close-" The radio soon went dead. "Blake? Blake! Can anyone hear me?" The radio was still unresponsive before Lloyd soon starts the truck and drives off.

In the desert, Patrice comes up to the driver's seat, gets in and looks at the wheel. "Okay, Patrice, you've been driving go-karts since you were 7." He said to himself before turning the ignition and the truck starts before he soon drove off. "Just imagine this is a go-kart."

As he comes back to the gap, he drives around it, passing Sean and Cornelius as they managed to get out of the wrecked car. "Why didn't you go fast like I told you?" Cornelius asked as they see the truck leave.

"I was going as fast as I can." Sean replied.

"Oh, don't try making up excuses!" He starts hitting Sean with his hat as he soon started to run away from him. "Freeze!"

In the sky, the new Destiny's Bounty was in the air as Nya, Geoff, Blake, Oni, Dragon, Misako and Skylor were on the bridge, trying to reach the Ninja. "They're attacking Jamanakai Village." Blake said, trying to get anyone to respond. "You have to stop them!" He soon slammed the console. "Damn it! All communication is cut."

"If our fighters don't know where to go, who's going to stop my father?" Skylor asked.

Oni soon came up to Dragon. "Dragon, I need to tell you something." He said, before sighing. "Outside." He soon moves out as Dragon follows him and everyone sees them, about to talk, knowing what he will say.

Outside, they watch as the brothers were about to speak, but to them, they couldn't hear. "What is it, brother?" Dragon asked.

"Father always told us, it is better to tell the truth than to keep it and then regret it for the rest of your life."

"Was there something you did?"

Oni soon looked down before looking back up. "Your love letter to Misako, I'm the one who burnt it."

Dragon was soon in shock and looks away before he gets angry, turns back and throws a fist at Oni, knocking him down. Everyone in the bridge was shocked as Geoff and Skylor prepared to come out. "Why?! Why would you burn the only thing to confess my love to her?!"

"Chen would have killed you. He would have also killed Misako if I refused."

"You are no master, and you've never been one!"

"Enough!" Geoff yelled as he and Skylor came up to them. He grabbed hold of Dragon, but he headbutts him from behind, knocking him down as Dragon turned and saw him, on the ground and blood coming out of his nose as he held his hand to it and was shocked.

"Geoffrey." Geoff just gets up and wipes the blood on Dragon's kimono, in anger.

"This is what Chen wants, fighting amongst each other, like 40 years ago when he made my mother betray you all. And I will not tolerate you two acting like babies over a broken toy! Remember what you taught me, Master: If one is to blame, all is to blame."

Dragon soon sighed as he held his hand out. "I'm sorry, brother. I overreacted. You burnt it to save my life, and I didn't know."

"No, stay mad at me." Oni said. "I don't even deserve to live."

"Please, I-"

The screen soon showed Chen. "Hello!" He said as they all head back inside.

"As you can see, I've taken control of the airwaves, just as I'll take over Ninjago."

"You'll pay for this, Chen!" Oni yelled.

"Master, enough." Geoff replied.

"What do you want?" Dragon asked Chen.

"A truce." Chen replied through the screen.

Oni scoffed. "Like the one the real Anacondrai wanted during the lasted war?" He asked. "The truce that you destroyed by deceiving both sides?"

"I will honour my word and no-one will get hurt if you and everyone you know leaves Ninjago and never comes back."

"We're not leaving our home." Geoff said.

"Wait." Dragon replied. "Let us think about it."

"How can you even entertain him?" Oni asked.

"Our Ninja are gone. We need more time."

"You should listen to your brother, Garmadon." Chen said through the screen. "He's always had a way with words." He laughs. "Besides, I know something that he done while he was under my tutelage."

"We know."

"What, how?"

"I told them." Oni said. "Better to tell the truth than to keep it and then regret it for the rest of your life."

"Besides, haven't you hurt enough people, Father?" Skylor asked.

"Your plan to divide us won't work, you bastard!" Geoff yelled. "You may have done it to my mother, but not to me! And forget about the truce! There is no truce!"

"When I find your sister, I will personally use Arcturus' dagger to-" Chen was cut off when Geoff went over to a power box and unplugged a wire, shutting off the screen.

In Chen's camp, Pythor was starting to get exhausted as he kept moving along the wheel, trying to get away from the rat. "Wretched contraption!" He yelled. "I can't run forever, you filthy rodent! What's the point in being friendly with the Ninja if they're never around to save you?" He soon sees the spell book. "If there's no Ninja to be found, may as well become one..." He turns around and shakes the jar off his head and stops running, allowing the rat to keep running as Pythor move along with the wheel as it spun before jumping out through an opening and lands near the book. "The Book of Spells, finally!" He soon opens it. "Time to find a spell to make me big again."

A nearby radio soon comes on. "Another village has fallen and the Ninja have yet to be found." It was Cyrus' voice. "It's only a matter of time until they take over Ninjago City."

Pythor scoffed. "News! Always a downer."

"How the Anacondrai returned is a mystery."

"Not a mystery! They're frauds! A true Anacondrai would never stand for this!"

"If you hear this message, find shelter. Or find help."

Pythor soon thinks. "A true Anacondrai would never stand for this. I am a true Anacondrai." He soon looks at page 150.

Outside a village, which was burning, Lloyd stops his truck as another came up next to him and he looks to see it was Gewuji. "Let me guess, that was a decoy, too?" She asked.

"Yes." Lloyd replied as another comes in the opposite direction.

It was Neuro as he stopped near them. "They're heading west." He said. "I tried to stop them, but I'm just a mind reader. I couldn't help anymore."

"But you can help us." Gewuji replied.

"Can you send a message to all the fighters at once?" Lloyd asked.

"I can try." Neuro replied, closing his eyes and placing his hands on his head.

An hour later, in the Samurai X cave, Geoff, emitting some purple steam, stood still as he tried moving down to do squats, but failed. "Stupid tail!" He yelled as Dragon, kimono clean of his blood, came up to him while holding a tray of with three cups of tea on it.

"Geoff, what you did to solve the conflict between me and my brother, it makes me feel like-" Dragon was cut off.

"I'm not ready. I'm not ready to be a Master yet."

"I see." He soon came up to Oni and Misako as he soon held a cup out to Oni as the Elemental Masters started returning. "Tea?"

"No, thank you." Oni said.

"I'm not angry at you. The person I should be angry at is Chen. He is to blame."

"Yeah, but all is to blame. He is the reason you were nearly dead, you were the reason I was in that situation and I was the reason why Misako didn't share an interest in you."

"Yes, but you were also the reason that Lloyd exists."

Chamille, Kai, Karlof, Jay, Paleman and Magna soon came in as Kai looks at Skylor as she was also emitting purple steam. "Look at you." He said.

"The spell is wearing off." Skylor replied. "And, my father almost caused friction among us." She looks to see Oni handing his cup to Misako, who reluctantly takes it.

"So why were we asked here?" Griffin asked. "We should be fightin' snakes."

"Because anyone can fight." Dragon replied, putting the tray down. "Only one side can declare victory."

"In the time it took you to get here, Chen has taken over the entire eastern seaboard and is moving inland." Blake said, explaining the situation. "With each village destroyed, they grow stronger."

"That's a lot of red." Karlof replied, looking at the screen. "Karlof not like red!"

"How are we supposed to stop them?" Gravis asked.

"Most of us lost control of our dragons, not to mention we're outnumbered 10 to 1." Patrice said.

"Actually, 62.4 to 1-" Zane was soon cut off.

"Someone, shut him up or shut him down, we didn't want to hear it." Spider said.

"Look, I'm scared like the rest of you." Lloyd replied. "It may look like we've lost, but it's not over. When we thought we'd lost Zane, it nearly tore us apart, but we didn't quit. We let it fuel us. We grew stronger."

"There's hope." Dragon said, pressing a button on the console. "The Corridor of Elders."

"Corridor of Elders?" Shade asked.

"I know we don't stand much of a chance taking on his entire army at once, but after he's controlled the east, he'll move west tomorrow and have to pass through Echo Canyons. Our best tactical position is to make our stand where it bottlenecks, here at the Corridor of Elders, the monuments honouring our ancestors. It's the narrowest channel, but our greatest chance."

"If we can't stop them here, the rest of Ninjago will fall like dominoes." Oni said.

"Karlof not like to lose." Karlof replied. "Karlof fuelled!"

"Then we have one day to save tomorrow." Dragon said. Everyone soon cheered.
