Kai, Zane, and Jay were thrown into a room on the floor, by their captors, and they slowly looked up. The leader of the people who captured them had a top hat, a peg leg, and a strange claw for a hand, and he sat on a throne surrounded by dragon bones.
"Where were they?" he asked one of the hunters. A hunter wearing a mask answered. "They were to the south. Setting up a fortress." He informed. "Well it was more of shack." Jay mentioned. "Did I say you could talk?" Snapped the one in the mask.
Jay quickly went silent. "There could be more." one of them told him. "Are there any more of your species?" asked the leader. "Your species?" wondered Kai. "No, there's no one else." Zane quickly said.
"Then whose diapers are these?" asked a woman, holding up a diaper. "Oh, they're mine. Right, guys?" Jay piped up. "Oh, yeah, he has bladder issues." said Kai. The other laughed, but not in a funny way.
"See how they lie, they can't help it. It's in their blood." said the leader. "Don't tell them anything." Zane whispered. "But there's one who can get through to them. Throw the Oni in the pit!" the leader yelled.
"Oni?" asked Kai confused. They thought they were Oni? Another one of the people, with artificial spider-like legs grabbed the chain that was attached to the three, and pulled them out. But they kept protesting that they weren't Oni.
As they were led outside, they saw the people sharpening weapons, constructing things out of metal, and forging weapons. "So these guys aren't Oni, but they think we are." said Kai. "It's ironic isn't it?" asked Jay.
The further they walked they saw that they also had dragon chained down, and one was using a dragon's fire power to light the forge. "Seems these people hunt dragons and use their elemental powers for their own gain." Zane observed.
"This is amazing, we're in a whole new civilization, learning about a different culture, this is better than a trip to the museum." Jay told them. "Jay, we're in a camp surrounded by hunters who probably want to kill us." Kai told him.
"That's not going to work, Kai. It appears Jay's not going to be any help to us with his state of mind." Zane replied. "Oh, boy." Kai groaned. "Hopefully Cole and Master Wu can get us out of here." said Zane.
Outside the camp, Cole and Kid Wu were looking for the others. Cole used his hands as a telescope to look closer. "Any sign of them?" asked Kid Wu. "Not yet. Wait there they are." Said Cole. He saw them being led to a domed building.
"Are they okay?" Kid Wu wondered. "Yeah, but they're being led into some sort building. And I don't think they're gonna like what's inside." Cole observed. "Then we gotta save them. Let's go." Said Kid Wu. He tried to go into the camp, but Cole grabbed his hood.
"What do you think you're doing? This place is filled with hunters. We need to wait and think of a plan." Cole told him. "You shouldn't put off things till tomorrow if they can be done today." Kid Wu informed.
Cole gasped. "Hey, I gave you those words, don't use them against me." Cole told him. "Hey, they were my words first." Kid Wu shot back. "We're not putting things off. We need a good plan first." Cole replied.
Kid Wu then pulled out a telescope. "Hey, where'd you get that?" Cole asked. "I borrowed it, like you borrowed my words. Hey, we can use disguises." Kid Wu suggested, as he spotting an unattended clothes line.
"Uh, I don't know, disguises don't always work." Cole mentioned, but Kid Wu was already running to the line. "Wu, get back here!" he yelled, hurrying after him.
Back in Ninjago the garbage truck Skylor was driving drove into a garbage depot. "What is this place?" asked Dareth, as he got out from the back. "Judging by the place, it looks like a garbage depot." observed Pixal.
"I like to call it the headquarters of the Resistance. First introductions, you know Karloff, Turner, and Shade. That's Neuro, the Master of the Mind, and this is Tox, the Master of Poison." Skylor introduced.
Tox looked at Dareth confused. "Who are you?" she asked. "The name's Dareth, and I'm the Master of uh...Brown." he told her. "Excuse me?" "You'll see, the power of brown is a mighty element." Dareth bragged.
Everyone rolled their eyes. "And we haven't been formally introduced." started Lloyd. "You're Skylor the Master of Amber. I hope you don't think this is rude, but do you have your powers back?" Skylor smiled, and answered.
"Yes, I do have them back. And I think yours will come back too." "See, Lloyd there is hope." Harumi told him. "Skylor, you're forgetting Mr. Pale." Karloff told her. Suddenly an invisible person appeared behind Harumi.
Surprised she jumped. "Oh, excuse me." she said. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I tend to frighten people when I come up." Mr. Pale replied. "It's okay." "So this dump's your home?" asked Dareth. "It not dump, it depot." corrected Karloff.
"The perfect place for a headquarters. And with the trucks we can go around the city without arousing suspicion." added Skylor. Tuner sped over to Misako and Nya. "We're sorry about the other Ninja, Mrs. G. After we heard about what happened we had to help." he told Misako.
"Thank you, but we've found proof that tells us they're okay." Misako told him. "There's tons of scrap metal here. We could build anything." said Nya. "What we need to build is an army of super soldiers." Tox commented.
"Now Tox..." Skylor told her. "You've seen that Colossus, we're like fleas compared to that thing." Tox explained. "I know, but this is a small start. The metal's all yours, Nya. You can build whatever." said Skylor.
Karloff cried happily. "So sorry, metal excites me." he admitted. "Thanks Skylor and thank you all, you saved us. But how'd you know where to find us?" said Lloyd. "We had a little help of our own." said Skylor, looking into a corner.
From that corner, Mistake stepped out. "Hello, everyone." she greeted. "Mistake?" asked Nya. "What are you doing here?" wondered Harumi. "I thought you'd all have questions regarding the other members of the Ninja, luckily I have answers." Mistake told them.
On Garmadon's building, he sat on his throne as Hutchins, Mr. E, Killow, and Ultraviolet walked up to him. "You wanted to see us, sire?" Hutchins asked. "Who was it who failed to capture my boy?" he sneered.
Nervous, everyone looked at Mr. E, who walked forward. "He did all he could, my emperor. But we didn't know the Elemental Masters would be there." Hutchins tried to explained. But Lord Garmadon used his powers to grab Mr. E, and held him up in the air.
"Sire, he's just a machine." pleaded Hutchins. But with his strong powers, Lord Garmdon broke Mr. E into a thousand pieces. "If you fail to bring me my son again, you'll be next." threatened Lord Garmadon to Hutchins.
A bead of sweat rolled down Hutchins forehead.
At the depot, Mistake and Lloyd were having a talk over some tea in an upstairs room. "So my friends are alive?" he asked her. "Yes, my Traveler's Tea took them to a far realm, the one of your ancestors." Mistake answered.
"The Realm of Oni and Dragon. But how do we get them back?" said Lloyd. "I'm afraid we can't do that. The only way to get them back is for them to find a way from the other realm. Here drink this." said Mistake told Lloyd, sliding him a cup of tea.
"What is it?" he wondered. "Earl Grey, it's tasty and helps you relax." Mistake answering, sipping the tea from her cup. "(Groans), I don't want to relax. I need to help my friends." Lloyd protested.
"Tsk tsk, so impatient. Didn't you learn anything from Master Wu?" Lloyd sighed, and drank the tea. "The way to help your friends, is to endure." Mistake told him. "Endure?" Lloyd questioned. "You're now being hunted the way a wolf hunts a caribou. So you must last long enough to see your friends return." Mistake explained.
"What kind of woman are you?" Lloyd asked her. "Just one that's made a lot of mistakes over the years, hence my name." Mistake replied. "But your knowledge is a lot like Master Wu's." "While gaining knowledge, you make mistakes over the years, but it's true wisdom when you don't make the same mistake twice."
Outside, Nya, Skylor, Harumi, and Neuro were putting together a type of contraption. "Your dad's power of destruction isn't like anything I've ever seen before." she said. "Will I ever get mine back?"
"True power isn't ever lost, you can only give it away when you don't think you have it. Just lead your friends and endure what will happen next." Mistake explained.
In the Realm of Oni and Dragon, the three were thrown into a dungeon-like room. "Hey, watch it." complained Kai. "Ah, you'll be a great snack for Slab." said one of the hunters, as they shut the door.
"You know this place is kinda cozy." Jay observed. "How long are you gonna keep doing that?" Kai asked annoyed. "Actually he does have a point, Kai. Out of all the dangerous situations we've been in, I'm not detecting anything dangerous." said Zane.
"No, but you will be." said a voice. From the shadows came a clumsy-looking hunter with a cowbell. "Who're you?" asked Kai. "Let me guess, you're Slab?" wondered Jay. "Nope, the name's Chew Toy, this is a gonna be a great show." he said.
Chew Toy stomped on the ground, and the roof opened and the floor rose to the top. They were in the middle of an area with lots of hunters in the stands. "Maybe we should use our powers." suggested Kai.
"No, you saw what they do to dragons, what would they do to us?" reminded Zane. "Good point." Up on his throne the leader watched from above. "Finally, we'll see how Slab deals with those crafty shapeshifters." he said.
Chew Toy began ringing his cowbell and moved around like a complete idiot. "What is going on here?" questioned Kai. "Isn't it obvious, he's the mascot." Jay told him. "Be careful with Slab, fellas. He can bite." Chew Toy warned.
The three looked towards a door where they heard growling and snarling. "Wow, never seen Slab this riled up." Chew Toy observed. "So Slab's a dragon?" Asked Kai. "Apparently." Answered Jay. "Well we've dealt with dragons before." Zane pointed out.
"True, but here it seems dragons are more aggressive." Said Kai. "What did you expect, dragons hate Oni." said Chew Toy. "But we're not Oni." Zane told him. "Well then something's sure got him riled up."
Cole and Kid Wu entered the arena in their disguises, and saw their friends in the middle. "We've got to get closer if we're gonna help them." said Kid Wu. "Come on." said Cole. But as they tried to get closer, they bumped into someone.
"Who are you two?" he asked them. "Uh, we're new to camp. I'm Rocky Dangerbuff, and this is my boy Dangerbuff Jr." said Cole. At first the guy looked at them suspiciously, then smiled. "Well then welcome to Dead's End, Dangerbuffs. The name's Skull." he said them.
As they walked down closer, the hunters opened the door, and let out a gray rock-like dragon with a chain around its' neck. It picked up Chew Toy, and swung him around. "That must be why they call him Chew Toy." said Jay.
"What do we do?" asked Kai. "We can still try and befriend it." suggested Zane. The dragon then tossed Chew Toy into the stands, as everyone cheered. "Come on, guys." said Jay, running up and grabbing the cowbell.
"What do you think you're doing!?" cried Kai. "If I'm gonna die, then I'm gonna have fun doing it." Jay explained. He rang the bell while dodging the dragon. As the crowd cheered, the leader watched.
"Come on Oni, change into your real form." he said to himself. The dragon revealed itself to be an Earth Dragon, as it made rock come from its' breathe. "Come on, a little help here!?" yelled Kai, as he ran for his life.
All the hunters did was throw food at them. As they split up, Zane spotted Cole and Kid Wu. "Cole, Master, you're here." he said happily. "We came to save you guys." Cole told him. "You should go." said Zane.
"What?" asked Kid Wu confused. "Master Wu's Oni blood is making the dragon go crazy." Zane explained. The Earth Dragon tried to get Kai, but he played dead. Then he went after Jay who still had the cowbell.
"We better get out of here." Cole told Kid Wu. "Wait, I have an idea." said Kid Wu. He went over to a lever which was attached to some chains, and while no one was looking, pulled it, and released one, into the arena.
"There at least now they're armed." said Cole, and the two hurried out of the arena. "Let's tie this dragon down." said Zane. As Jay kept it distracted, Kai and Zane wrapped the chain around the Earth Dragon.
"What the?" the leader asked confused. "Woo-hoo!" cheered Jay. "Jay, look out!" warned Kai. The Earth Dragon was about to attack him, but Zane used his ice powers to freeze its' head, which shocked everyone.
"Those aren't Oni, they're Elemental Masters, which means they have the same knowledge as the First Spinjitzu Master, get them!" the leader ordered. As some of the hunters came down with their weapons, the three got their powers ready, and got ready to fight.
