At Jamanakia Village, the village was in chaos as the villagers ran in fear from Chen's False Anacondrai as they quickly went into hiding. Chen then landed the Roto-Jet with a few of his troops beside him as he jumped off with a laugh.
"Ha, ha! Run! Ha, ha! Run away!" Chen called in a mocking tone. "Oh, watch your step." He said with a smirk as he turned to Zugu. "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." He said in amusement. "Doesn't anyone here want to fight?!" He called out before an apple hit his skull helmet, causing it to tilt slightly as Chen and his troops turned to who threw it.
"Hey!" A girl called out with a glare while tossing an apple in her hand. But Zugu growled as he lifted a giant boulder and tossed it at her. "Whoa!" She cried out as she ran off to avoid the boulder as Chen gave an evil laugh.
"Onward, my slithering soldiers, until there is no village left unturned!" Chen called out as his army continued to cause havoc in the village.
At the Anaconadrai's old tomb, Kai was in the noodle truck as he tried to work the radio. " Chen has- Kai village- Everyone-" Nya tried to say, but static kept interfering.
"I can't read you, Nya. Repeat." Kai said with a concerned look.
" Attacked first- Nothing- Stop them!" Nya called through Jay's truck in his location.
"Nya, you're breaking up. Where do you need us," Jay told her with a frown, "We're all scattered, and there's no time to play fill in the blanks." He stated.
" Hurry-! Too late-!" Nya called through Lydie's truck but still came out gargling.
"Nya, tell us where we need to go!" Lydie called through her mic, "I can't use my dragon so if anyone is close-" She stopped herself when the radio suddenly shut down, "Nya? Nya?! Is anyone there? Kai? Lloyd? Come in!" She called but only got more static.
Lydie sighed and noticed the key still in the truck, "Well, it's no Ultra Sonic Raider, but it'll do," She said as she started the engine and drove off.
In the sky, the new Destiny's Bounty was flying above the clouds. It's a bit more upgraded and up to date then the first Bounty but with the similar details based on the original. On the bridge, Wu, Garmadon, Misako, Skylor, Seliel, Harumi, and Nya were trying to contact the Elemental Masters while Garmadon held his wife in comfort.
"They're attacking Jamankai Village! You have to stop them!" Nya repeated desperately but nothing went through as Seliel slammed her fists on the console in frustration.
"Argh! All communication has been cut! We can't get to anyone!" Seliel stated.
"If our friendsss don't know where to go, who'sss going to sssstop my father?" Skylor questioned before Chen appeared on the monitor.
" Hello." Chen said with a smirk to the startled group.
"He hacked into the Bounty's mainframe?!" Harumi asked in disbelief. "That's impossible!"
" Not when you have control over the airwaves! Just like I'll soon have control over Ninjago!" Chen boasted.
Garmadon growled in frustration, "You'll pay for this, Chen!" He vowed as Misako held him back.
"Dear, don't respond to his taunts!" Misako told him as she glared at Chen, "It's just what he wants."
" Wrong. All I want right now, is a truce." Chen corrected with a sneaky grin as Garmadon gave a sarcastic laugh.
"Ha! Like the one Arcturus wanted during the last war?!" Garmadon demanded as Chen frowned, "The Truce that you destroyed! By manipulating both sides into fighting each other!"
" I will honor my word, and no one will get hurt if the Emperor and Empress decree that you and everyone you know leaves Ninjago and never comes back." Chen stated.
"We're not leaving our home." Harumi said firmly with her arms crossed.
"Wait. Let us think about it." Wu spoke up, which shocked the group.
"How can you even entertain him?" Garmadon questioned his brother.
"Our Ninja are gone. We need more time." Wu said to Garmadon.
"You should listen to your brother, Garmadon." Chen said in amusement with a smirk. " He always has a way with words. It convinced Misako, didn't it?" He questioned as Wu gave a confused look as Garmadon frowned in guilt and Misako held her hands in concern. " What's wrong, you look a little purple. Oh, that's right. Once a snake, always a snake." He taunted as Garmadon turned away.
"Haven't you hurt enough people father?" Skylor asked with a glare.
"What's he talking about?" Seliel asked with a brow.
"Oh, he hasn't told you?" Chen asked with a smirk. " The letter he wrote that made Misako fall in love with him, it was written by Wu." He revealed, which made the others, except Misako and Garmadon, gasp.
"I-I was going to tell you." Garmadon said to his brother with a pleading look.
"How could you brother?" Wu asked in betrayal as Garmadon looked down in regret as Misako held his shoulder.
"Oh and about that truce. Deals off!" Chen said with a smirk. " I actually only wanted to drop that delicious little bombshell. Too-da-loo!" He cheered as he ended the transmission.
"Somehow, I knew he was gonna do that." Harumi sighed plainly.
"Personally, I always found Pixal's bombshell thing with you and that perfect match incident to be a lot more dramatic." Seliel commented to Nya with a shrug.
"Please don't bring that up again." Nya said in an embarrassed tone as she remembered that whole thing.
"Of all the things…" Wu started with a rageful look as he stepped forward to his brother, who flinched back.
"Brother, don't let anger cloud your judgment." Garmadon said calmly, but Wu wouldn't listen.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Wu shouted as Garmadon turned away in shame. "You're no sensei, and you've never been one!" He shouted.
"Wu!" They turned to Misako, glaring at Wu, "Stand down!" She said firmly.
"He-He took my letter!" Wu stated in rage. "He's the one who-"
"I've always known it was from you!" Misako yelled, which made Wu shocked even move as she walked up to her husband while pushing Wu aside. "I know both of your handwriting! I know that letter wasn't your brother's! And even if it wasn't from him, it goes to show how much he deeply cares for me by going through that risk! And during the time on Chen's island, he found the courage to tell me the truth, which he would've done the same to you, but clearly, it was for nothing!"
"But, he-! If you had received that letter from me-" Wu stammered.
"I would have still chosen Garmadon!" Misako cut off with a swipe of her hand, "He needed me more than you did! He gave me the ones who saved him! I always believed you respected my decision of the man I chose but you never accepted I chose Garmadon, I see that now! Which is why I am telling you here and now, my heart will belong to Garmadon and him alone!" She said as she held her husband close to her.
Wu was shocked by Misako's words while Garmadon felt touched by his wife's words as Skylor got between them. "Don't you see what he's doing?! My father divided the Ninja, now he's dividing you!" She exclaimed to the three as they took a moment to calm down.
At Chen's hideout, Pythor was still running on the hamster wheel with the mongoose behind him. "Wretched contraption! I can't run forever you filthy Rodent!" Pythor exclaimed in frustration. 'What'ssss the point of being friendly with the Ninja if they're never around to ssssave you?!" He questioned.
Pythor then noticed the spell book close by as he gave a smirk. "If there's no Ninja to be found, may assss well become one." He said before he stopped and held onto the wheel as he spun around. "Ninja roll!" He called before he flung out of his cage and landed next to the spell book. "The Book of Sssspellsss, finally." He said as he opened up the book. "Time to find a ssspell to make me big again."
" Another village has fallen, and the Ninja have yet to be found." The man on the radio spoke up. " It's only a matter of time before they take over Ninjago City."
"Hmph Newsss… always a downer." Pythor scoffed as he continued to look at the book.
" How the Anacondrai became so destructive is a mystery." The man on the radio added.
"Not a mystery. They're fraudsss!" Pythor exclaimed. "If my brother were here he would never sssstand for thissss!"
" If you hear this message, find shelter or find help." The man on the radio advised.
"Hmm, my brother," Pythor muttered as he had an idea while looking at the book. "I wonder..." He said as he looked at a specific spell on the book.
Riding the noodle truck through the forest, Lydie saw a village going up in flames in the distance before she saw two noodle trucks coming her way as they stopped and the windows lowered to show Neuro and Lloyd in each one. "Lydie, thank goodness we found you." Lloyd said in relief.
"Lloyd, Neuro, what happened?" Lydie asked in concern.
"They're heading west." Neuro informed. "We tried to stop them, but I'm just a mind reader."
"And my powers can only do so much against those guys." Lloyd added on behalf. "We couldn't help anymore."
"But Neuro can still help us." Lydie spoke up while looking at the Master of Mind. "Can you send a message to all of the fighters at once?" She asked.
"I can try." Neuro said as he then focused his powers to send a message to them from a distance.
Soon, the Elemental Masters all regrouped at the Samurai X caved as the last of the group entered. "Thank goodness. You got my message." Neuro said in relief.
"Look at you." Kai said as he saw Skylor's hair turning red and patches of flesh on her scaly skin.
"The spell is wearing off." Skylor said with a smile, feeling the spell wearing off on her. "But my modesty will have some problems when it does."
"At least you're not hissing every time you say something with an S in it." Kai said a bit optimistically.
"Yes, but my father's antics sadly have not." Skylor said with a frown.
"Tea?" Misako asked her husband as she gave a cup to Garmadon, who nodded as Wu poured himself one as he sighed sadly as Lloyd and Lydie walked up to their parents.
"Uncle knows about the letter?" Lloyd asked.
"The message was delivered but not from me." Garmadon sadly said.
"You can blame Chen for that," Misako added bitterly.
"Of course he did." Lydie muttered with venom in her voice.
"So why were we asked here?" Turner asked the group. "We should be fightin' snakes."
"Because anyone can fight." Wu spoke up. "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." Nya spoke up while gesturing to the red spots on the monitors. "With each village destroyed, they grow stronger."
"That's a lot of red." Karlof spoke up with a glare. "Karlof not like red."
"How are we supposed to stop them?" Gravis questioned. "Most of us have lost control of our Dragons, not to mention we're outnumbered ten to one."
"Actually 62.4 to 1." Zane corrected.
"But like more than 1000 Fake Anacondrai!" Seliel stated.
"Look, I'm scared like the rest of you." Lydie spoke up with a determined look. "It may look like we've lost, but it's not over." She said as Lloyd walked up and placed a hand on Zane's shoulder.
"My sister is right. When we thought we lost Zane, it nearly tore us apart." Lloyd added. "But we didn't quit. We let it fuel us. We grew stronger."
"There's hope. The Corridors of Elders." Wu said while pointing to a spot on a map.
"Corridors of Elders?" Shade asked in confusion.
"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." Wu explained while gesturing to the map. "Our best tactical position is to make our stand where it bottlenecks: Here, at the Corridor of Elders, the monuments honoring our ancestors. It's the narrowest channel, but our greatest chance."
"If we can't ssstop them here, the ressst of Ninjago will fall like Dominoesss," Garmadon stated.
"Karlof not like to lose." Karlof said with determination. "Karlof fueled!"
"Then we have one day to save tomorrow." Wu finished as they all cheered.
The Ninja then spread out across Ninjago, gathering as many people as they could. Kai was a Doomsday Comics, "I wish I could say we aren't facing an enemy unlike anything we've ever seen but we are and we know what they're capable of." Kai told the gathered kids and teenagers.
At Mega Monster Amusement Park, the False Anacondrai are attacking the park while terrorizing the people.
Jay was at the junkyard where he rallied his parents and a few other villagers. "Right now, our cities and villages are falling, which is why we're asking everyone to rise up." He called to them.
Zane was in Ninjago City at his memorial statue where he rallied Skales, his family, and a few other people in the park. "We all may have different battlegrounds, but we all share the same future." He said as Skales looked at his family, who nodded in agreement.
In the movies, the people are watching Starfare, but then the False Anacondrai appeared from the screen, they all screamed in fear and rushed out.
In the Serpentine village, Lydie stood in the center of Burmesia and the other Serpentine, "The one who was truly responsible for all that you have lost and suffered through, is out there and is willing to keep this battle going for his own amusement and we can't let that stand!" Lydie said as the Serpentine looked at each other in thought.
At a large fortress-like Prison called Kryptarium prison, Cole was in the holding area with all of the Ninja's past enemies in bars, speaking to them with the Warden listening. "You may wonder why we're asking you to fight for Ninjago. We aren't. We're asking you to fight for each other." He said as the inmates looked at each other in thought.
Back in Ninjago City, Lloyd stood at the entrance of the Royal Palace with Harumi and her parents standing with him as he spoke to the crowd. "We're asking you to fight as one!" Lloyd finished as the crowd all cheered at Lloyd's inspiring speech while the Emperor and Empress smiled at his speech and Harumi held Lloyd's shoulder smiling brightly.
The next day at Echo's Canyon, Chen and his Anacondrai Army are slithering through the canyon while Chope, Kapau, Zugu, and Eyezor are carrying the Roto Jet with Chen on it. "Maybe Massster Chen knowing our namesss isssn't sssuch a good idea," Kapau commented while feeling exhausted.
"Yeah. Tell me about it," Chope said in agreement.
"I'm hot and this ssskin doesssn't breathe like my old one," Chen complained while feeling the heat from the hot sun. "How much further?"
"The Corridor of Eldersss isss jussst up ahead," Zugu informed him.
"Good, maybe we can sssstop for a break," Chen suggested, which made his men sigh with relief. "And you four can carve my image into the wallssss in my honor," He added, which made them groan with annoyance.
The False Anacondrai Army all went through the Corridor of Elders, but at the end, the Elemental Alliance and the allies from humans and Serpentine stood ready as they felt the ground rumble. "Huh. There's so many of them." Jay said uneasy before the False Anacondrai stopped when they saw the Alliance.
Lloyd used his powers to mark a line between them as he and Lydie put on their masks as Lydie turned to the others. "We fight for each other. We fight as one!" Lydie declared as the Ninja put on their masks as the Alliance all cheered together
"The Ninja!" Chen said in surprise.
"Hold. Your. Positions." Lydie said as both sides got ready.
"Charge!" Chen yelled as the False Anacondrai charged towards the Alliance.
"Wait for it." Lydie said as the False Anacondrai got closer, Karlof entered his metal form.
The Ninja moved to charge but Lydie held her arms out to stop them as the Anacondrai got closer, "Wait," Lydie said with a determined look as the False Anacondrai got closer as some others prepared themselves as Karlof metal up. "Wait!" She repeated.
But just as the False Anacondrai were a few feet away, the ground beneath them opened up as some of them fell into the hole with screams while the rest stopped in shock. "Trap door?!" Chen asked in shock by what he saw. "That's my signature move!" He then growled in rage. "Destroy them!" He yelled.
"Now! ATTACK!" Lydie called as Zane used his powers to cover up the hole while the Alliance attacked the still surprised Anacondrai. They used their powers and skills to push them back while the citizens used what they had to push them back or take the False Anacondrai's weapons.
"Fear? Fear isn't a word where I come from!" Rufus recited as he used his antic sword and clashed with one of Chen's troops.
On the side of the walls behind boulders, some of the kids, but human and Serpentine, all through marbles down in front of the army, causing them to trip and fall down as the Elemental Masters use their powers to fight them off.
"Push them back!" Karlof called as he punched a troop away as the False Anacondrai backed away.
"Not backwards! Forwards! You're Anacondrai!" Chen told his retreating troops, "Crush them!" He ordered, as the False Anacondrai renegade the Alliance.
The Alliance regrouped and held firm, pushing to keep the False Anacondrai from crossing the line but they were slowly getting pushed back themselves. "I'm slipping!" Cole called out.
"Ugh! Don't let up!" Kai called as they kept pushing them back.
"Push!" The Garma-Twins called out.
"Push harder!" Chen yelled to his troops as the False Anacondrai piled on the Alliance. "They can have the ground. We'll take the skies." He said to his four henchmen as he activated the Roto-Jet and took to the air with the Bladecopters following while firing down on them.
Shade saw the Copters flying in before smacking his Anacondrai back and disappeared, climbing up the cliff and disappearing again. The Pilot of one Copter looked around, not seeing Shade appearing on the copter before he pulled him out and kicked off as he took control of the Copter and used it to fire on the False Anacondrai.
"Push!" Eyezor called to his troops.
"Hold the line!" Lloyd told the Alliance as Seliel was caught in the grip of one Anacondrai while struggling to keep him back.
"Urgh! They just keep coming!" Seliel said, holding her restrainer's head back.
"PUSH!" Eyezor yelled again.
"Urgh! Don't let up!" Lydie told them, pushing Eyezor back, "Ninja never say quit!" She reminded before reaching for her comm, "Nya! We could use some air support!"
In the air, the Destiny's Bounty flew over the Corridor of Elders as Nya, Harumi, Misako, Burmesia, Garmadon, and Wu were aboard. "On route, Captain! The new girl hates feeling left out." Nya responded with a smirk while steering the Bounty. "Now!" She called as she moved the ship aside as the two brothers, Brumesia, and Harumi fired the cannons as some of Chen's troops were caught in nets.
"Ships aren't supposed to fly!" Chen shouted when he saw the Bounty. "Sink it!" He ordered as his Bladecopters flew toward the Bounty, firing shots at them as the Bounty took evasive action.
"Now! While they're distracted!" Lydie told her friends.
"NINJA, GO!" The Ninja all yelled as they did Spinjitzu and knocked away the False Anacondrai.
In the air, the Bounty was over the army. "We're over the Crushers!" Harumi called out.
"Misako, Nya, drop it like it's hot!" Wu called.
"Aye, aye, Sensei!" Nya saluted as steered the bounty over the army and Misako pulled a lever as the anchor fell.
"NO!" Skales cried out as he was about to get sliced by the blades from one of the Crushers, but then the anchor fell, crushing it as Skales looked up at the Bounty. "Never thought I'd be happy to ssssee that sssship again." He said in joy.
The Bounty continued to use its Anchor to lessen the False Anacondrai's reinforcements. Chen saw this and was furious, "Break through the line!" Slamming the Roto-Jet's controls.
"We can't! The Canyon'sss too narrow!" Zugo stated behind him.
"Then make it bigger!" Chen shouted as he fired missiles at one of the statues at the end of the canyon, which made it collapse.
Karlof looked up when he saw it falling down. "Watch out!" He yelled as they all screamed in fear.
"Gravis!" Lydie called as they all covered their heads before the statue suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"I got it!" Gravis strained as he lowered the statue away from them. As they coughed from the dust that fell they noticed that the Corridor had been widened by the statue and the Anacondrai used this to slip past the Alliance.
"We have to stop them!" Lloyd called as they tried to stop the False Anacondrai.
"We don't have enough people!" Lydie called out to her brother.
"We can't hold them all!" Kai shouted as they were quickly overrun by the army.
"They cross the line!" Burmesia yelled out as those on the Bounty looked in horror.
But just as it seemed all hope was lost, racing into the Corridor of Elders was the Mongoose with Pythor, wearing an Anacondrai Harness, and Clouse's Spellbook on it's back. "Come on, Rodrigo! They need our help!" Pythor called as he went though Chen's army and ran up to the Garma-Twins, "I have sssomething your father and Burmesssia need to sssee!" He told them.
"Wait, you want to help?" Lydie asked with a brow.
"Oh come on, you can trussst me, because if anyone issss gonna take over thissss world I'd rather it be sssomeone with classss, like me." Pythor said with a smile, confusing the Garma-Twins more, "Get me to Burmesia and Garmadon, I believe they can help usss end this once and for all!" He told them.
"Well, when you put it that way." Lydie started with a look as she punched a false Anacondrai back. "Let's go!"
"But we are keeping our eyes on you." Lloyd said as Pythor nodded as Lydie picked him and the spell book up as they ran up to the Bounty's anchor and held onto it as they were pulled up.
"Haha! Quickly Rodrigo, destiny awaits us!" Pythor told Rodrigo as he climbed up with them as they were being pulled up to the Bounty.
At the otherside of the canyon, Chen lowered the Roto-Jet as he landed with a smirk. "Now nothing can sssstop me." He said with a smirk before Skylor suddenly grabbed him and tossed him out of the jet as Chen looked up at his daughter in shock.
"Sorry, but I have a few daddy issues." Skylor said with a glare at her father before pouncing on him.
On the Bounty, the Garma-Twins, Rodrigo, and Pythor climbed onto the deck. "Pythor said he has something that could end this war." Lloyd said as Lydie placed Pythor and the book down.
"What's with the Mongoose?" Harumi questioned.
"They've crossed the line of no return," Wu said hopelessly, "No amount of power can stop this now."
"But the Might of General Arcturusss might help!" Pythor countered.
"My father?" Burmesia asked in surprise. "But he'sssss in the Curssssed Realm thanksss to Garmadon." She reminded him. "Uhh, no offensssse."
"No. I dessserved that." Garmadon said in understanding.
"Well you can make up for it," Pythor said before flipping the pages before getting to the one he book marked, "If we can bring Arcturusss and the othersss back from the Cursssed Realm and they sssaw all thisss mockery, they would ussse their new powersss to ssstop thisss travesssty at once!"
"You mean… there'ssss a way to bring my father back?" Burmesia said with a hopeful look.
"But that's impossible, no one comes back from the Cursed Realm." Misako said to them.
"She's right." Harumi said to them. "Once something enters the Cursed Realm, it's not coming back out."
Garmadon then had a thought as he looked at the spell book. "Unless they who cursed them take their play." He muttered as he looked at the spell before giving a determined expression. " I could unleash the spirits of Arcturus and the Anacondrai Commanders."
"But only if you banish yourself in their place." Pythor quickly added. "Magic has rules, you know."
"What?!" Lydie exclaimed, grabbing Pythor, causing him to gag, "There's no way we're doing that!" She said firmly.
"Yeah, we're not cursing you!" Lloyd said as he took the spell book from their father. "We're not losing you to bring them back!"
"If we do nothing, we lose Ninjago." Garmadon said to his children.
"But we don't even know if Arcturus will help us." Harumi reasoned.
"The only thing that my father hassss alwayssss wanted wasss a future where both the humanssss and Sssserpentine could live together in peace and harmony." Burmesia explained.
"Yesss, Arcturusss wanted peace asss much as usss. It was Chen who started both wars." Garmadon added as he sighed. "I never thought I would say this, but Pythor's right." He said as Pythor gave a proud smile.
"I cannot allow this, brother." Wu protested.
"Garmadon, please," Misako pleaded tearfully, holding Garmadon's shoulder. "I just got you back, I can't,"
"Who are we fooling?" Garmadon questioned his wife, holding her chin. "There's not enough time for me to make up for the pain I've caused in my life, but if I could save Ninjago…" He said with a resolute expression. "Pleasse, Misako, for the good of our home, I mussst do thisss."
Misako looked down in sorrow, knowing that her husband was right before she looked up to him and nodded. But their children on the other hand…
"You want our blessing to walk out on us again, father?! Fine!" Lydie shouted in rage and anguish.
"But don't expect either of us to stick around to watch you go. Our real family needs us!" Lloyd finished as he tossed the book down as the Garma-Twins put on their masks and jumped off the Bounty.
"Lloyd! Lydie! Wait!" Garmadon called out before an explosion hit the Bounty, causing them to lose balance as a Bladecopter flew by.
"If thissss is going to happen, I sssstrongly suggest we do it now before we're blown out of the ssssky!" Pythor shouted urgently as they all recovered.
While falling from the sky after jumping off the Bounty, the Garma-Twins skydived to the others, but then they started having memories of their time with their father, starting with the time when Lydie and Garmadon rescued Lloyd, reuniting after so long.
Lloyd and Lydie then each got on their own hoverboards, flipping the two False Anacondrais on them up before they grab onto as they gave them intense glares, which made the False Anacondrais nervous before the Garma-Twins tossed them aside as they flew over Chen's Army to the others before they remembered the time when they were reaching out to their father when he was possessed by the Overlord.
Then in sync, the Garma-Twins jumped off their boards and started hopping on each False Anacondrai as they did Spinjitzu, before they then remembered the time when they finally purged the evil out of their father after defeating the Overlord and purging Ninjago from darkness, reuniting the whole family.
The Garma-Twins then started tossing and kicking the False Anacondrai away as they jumped up and charged up their powers before they fell down, creating a shockwave that send some of the False Anacondrais away.
"What's gotten into Lloyd and Lydie!?" Zane asked while struggling against a False Anacondrai
"I don't know but it's too late!" Kai said as they continued to struggle, "We can't stop them now!"
On the Bounty, Garmadon gave Burmesia the spell book, "Read it, Burmesssia." Garmadon told the Serpentine Queen who looked confused, "Asss it wasss your father I banished, it'sss only fitting that his daughter banishesss me to free him." He explained.
"Are, are you ssssure?" Burmesia asked unsurely.
"I am," Garmadon answered before he slithered up to Misako, holding her hands, "Thank you for never leaving my ssside, Misssako," He said graciously.
"Know that no matter what happens next, I will always love you." Misako said with a tearful smile before she gave Garmadon a quick warm kiss on his scaly lips. After a moment, they separated as Garmadon slithered over to Harumi.
"Harumi, if I ever had another daughter, I would've been honored if she were like you," Garmadon said, holding Harumi's shoulder, "Take care of Lloyd for me," He asked of her.
"I will. I promise." Harumi said with a soft smile. "I won't let you down." She said as Garmadon nodded and then slithered up to Wu.
"And brother, will you ever forgive me for the letter?" Garmadon asked.
"Only if you can forgive me," Wu said, holding Garmadon's shoulder.
"I already have," Garmadon smiled before pulling Wu into a hug, surprising Wu before he smiled and hugged him back. "But you were right, the Ninja don't need two Senseis. Only One Can Remain." He said as he broke the hug as he walked up to the end of the Bounty. "I'm ready, Burmesia."
"Very well." Burmesia muttered solemnly, inwardly laughing as once upon time a moment like this would have made her happy. She then opens up the spell book to the right page. "' Komodo, nicktu, demic tara…'" She started as a magical swirl surrounded Garmadon as he began to float while they all flinched back from the wind.
"Tell Lloyd and Lydie I'm sorry." Garmadon said to them.
"You can tell us yourself," Garmadon turned with a smile to see Lloyd and Lydie climb up on deck, "The Prophecy foretold it was our destiny to rid Ninjago of your evil," Lydie said with a frown.
"So if anyone should be sending you off, it's us." Lloyd said as they walked up to Burmesia and she handed them the book.
"It'sss only right. He isss your father." Burmesia said to her two friends as they nodded as the Garma-Twins read the book together.
"' Kenji, severus, toto-demada, cursono, neeboro…'" The Garma-Twins read as the others watched as a beam of light from Garmadon shot up into the sky, opening a large portal to the Cursed Realm above them as the Alliance and Chen's army all looked up in shock.
"What, what's that?!" Chen asked in a panic seeing the portal.
"Wh-What's happening?!" Cole asked in worry.
Garmadon then started glowing while in the beam. "' Actu, Cursono, Neeboro…'" The Garma-Twins continued the spell as tears appeared in their eyes.
"Long before time had a name, I yearned to remake this realm in my image," Garmadon recalled before looking down at his children, "It took me too long to realize I already had, in both of you," He said with a proud smile.
Lydie started to have tears in her eyes when he said that while Lloyd swallowed a lump in his throat as they gave a heartfelt smile as they continued the spell. " Sono, hokkaido, bo-rock!'" They finished, which shot Garmadon up to the portal as he gave a scream as he was being dragged to the portal.
Pythor and Rodrigo held onto each other in shock while the others looked up to the portal in anticipation, "Is he?" Harumi asked.
"We shall see," Wu answered as they shielded themselves against the wind as Garmadon entered the Portal and everything went white. Suddenly the portal changed color as balls of green light shot out from the portal and down towards the Bounty.
The balls then transformed into the spirits of Arcturus and the Anacondrai Commanders, hovering before Burmesia and the others, "F-Father?" Burmesia said in wonder.
Arcturus nodded as Burmesia smiled brightly before her face turned serious, "Chen wasss the one responsible for the war, our entombment and mother's death! And he dared to sully our name with hisss army of Impossstersss! I ask you as Queen of the Ssserpentine, to ssstop them!" She ordered, pointing down to the Corridor of Elders.
Arcturus looked down with a glare before bowing his head before he and his commanders all flew down to the battle as the False Anacondrai looked at them in confusion before the ghosts started cursing then, turning them into ghosts as the False Anacondrai flew up to the portal, yelling in fear.
"The spirits of Arcturus and the Anacondrai Generals!" Kai said in shock while the Real Anacondrai all bowed down in respect of their fallen Leaders.
"They're cursing Chen's Army!" Cole said as Arcturus and his commanders continued to curse Chen's army.
"Arcturus! What are you doing?! W-We're on the same team!" Chen shouted as Arcturus and his commanders flew in front of him.
"You've never been one of usssss." Arcturus growled with a glare as Chen looked at him and his commander fearfully. "Because you are a warmongering liar, an honorless cheat, a cowardly murderer, and a wretched imposssster!" He roared as Chen tried to slither away, but Arcturus flew right through him, cursing him as he began to float away.
"I can't be cursed!" Chen yelled as he saw his daughter looking up at him as Skylor returned to normal, though her gi covered her privates with her pants tore off. "Save me, Skylor!" He pleaded as Skylor just waved him goodbye before Chen then flew up to the sky with his remaining army, screaming in horror as he was the last one to enter the portal before it closed completely…though not before a single ghost from the other side slipped out.
After a moment of silence, the Alliance all cheered to their victory as Chen's army was now completely gone. "Yes! Alright!" Kai cheered as the Ninja took off their masks. "Yeah! We did it, guys! We did it!"
On the Bounty, Lloyd and Lydie had tears flowing down their cheeks as Harumi put a hand on Lloyd's shoulder while Misako did the same to Lydie. "Hey, his sacrifice won't be in vain." Harumi said softly to them.
"Yes. The war is over. It had to be done." Misako added as Arcturus and his commanders flew up to the Bounty and appeared in front of the group.
"Thank you, my brother and daughter," Arcturus spoke to Pythor and Burmesia, "You should be recognized for your courage, honor and bravery. You have made your ancestors proud." He said as the two Anacondrai smiled, "Finally." Arcturus added in exasperation, specifically to Pythor.
"Thank you, father." Burmesia said with a smile.
"Oh, what can I sssay, brother? Everyone can change." Pythor said with a shrug.
"Somehow I highly doubt that." Lydie muttered as Arcturus then used his ghostly powers on Pythor to return him to normal size, much to Pythor's joy.
"That'ssss more like it! Haha!" Pythor cheered.
"And now you'll finally sssstop being a dead weight about it." Burmesia said pointedly.
"Oh, shush you." Pythor said with his arms crossed as Burmesia chuckled.
Arcturus then floated up to the Garma-Twins with a bow. "And thank you, Masters Lloyd and Lydie. Because of your friends, you both have done what your Grandfather and I never could, united the Serpentine and Humanity assss one." He said as they all smiled at him. "Because of you both, the balance is restored. And because of your father, our ssspiritsss are free to ressst." He said in fondness that he and his commanders were now finally free from the Cursed Realm as the Garma-Twins smiled at them. "You will have our eternal respect, as the greatest warriorsss to ever battle for Ninjago." He finished as he and the Garma-Twins bow to each other.
"And now, we mussst leave for the Departed Realm, your mother waitsss for me," Arcturus said to his daughter, smiling proudly, "Lead with honor and wisdom, my daughter."
"I'll missss you, father." Burmesia said with a sad smile. "I promise, I'll make you proud."
"You already have, my dear." Arcturus said with a smile, which made Burmesia smiled back as Arcturus and his commanders floated high in the sky before they faded away.
At sunset, the Bounty landed where the Alliance are waiting for them, "Is everyone okay?" Nya asked as they nodded.
"Where's Garmadon?" Kai asked, noticing Garmadon wasn't with them.
Lloyd and Lydie looked up to the sky solemnly, "We'll, tell you later, all that matters is that it's over." Lydie said with a sad smile.
"Alright, Uncle, I think it'sssss time to-wait where'd he go?!" Burmesia stopped herself when she saw that Pythor and Rodrigo were nowhere in sight.
"Wow, that snake moves fast." Nya commented.
"He must've escaped when we weren't looking." Seliel muttered.
"Looks like we'll be seeing him again someday soon." Lydie muttered.
"And we'll be ready for him." Lloyd promised with a smile to which Lydie returned.
"Hahah! And you showed them!" Turner cheered next to Cole.
"You mean we showed them." Cole corrected while placing a hand on Turner's shoulder. "Thanks for fighting with us.
"Huh." Karlof started before he grabbed Kai and Jay into a hug. "Smarter than fighting against you." He joked as they all shared a laugh.
"Anytime you need our help, just holler." Jay said to them.
"Same goes for you." Neuro said as he placed a hand on Zane's shoulders. "I imagine we all have homes and families to get back to. Thank you, Ninja."
"Thank you, friend." Zane said back with a smile.
Kai then turned and saw Skylor walking away from the crowd, wearing a new gi with red sleeves and leather straps. "Uh, we could use a girl like you in our gang." Kai said to her as Kai turned to him.
"Girl? Don't you have four already?" Skylor asked with a brow.
"Uh, I mean, a Ninja." Kai quickly corrected.
"Heh. Flattering." Skylor said with a chuckle. "But now that my father's gone, someone's got to run the family business." Kai gave a concerned look, "Don't worry, no more underground crime, just noodles. But if you ever need help, I'll be there." She promised as she and Kai leaned in close…
Right before, Dareth then got between them. "Please, you have to tell me." He started with a prideful look.
"Yes, I will put the puffy potsticker back on the menu." Skylor assured with a smile, which made Dareth sigh in relief.
"Ohh. Finally." Dareth said in relief. "All is right in the world." He said as he walked off as Skylor and Kai laughed together.
"Ah, keep in touch." Skylor said with a smile.
"I like that." Kai nodded with a smile as well, but right before Skylor was about to walk off, Kai quickly grabbed her arm. "Wait, I have something before you go." He said before pulling Skylor into a kiss which she returned as they separated, "Like you said, keep in touch." He said with a smile.
"I'd like that." Skylor repeated with a smile too before walking off.
A bit later, the Alliance then started cleaning up the wreckage from the battle. "This is Corridor of Elders, not Corridor of Trash. Help Karlof clean up mess." Karlof spoke up to the others while above the canyon, the Ninja were all gathered around a campfire, to honor Garmadon's memory, each holding a teacup as Wu poured some tea while Lydie held the spell book.
"To General Arcturus," Kai started as Wu poured him a cup, "The Greatest Anacondrai Leader of his time." He said with a smile.
"Yeah. And now it's our turn to make our ancestors proud." Jay said while looking at the down statue.
"Because we are proud of those who are here before us." Lloyd started.
"To show us the way." Lydie finished as they all looked down in remorse. "Goodbye, father." She said sadly.
"His loss will affect us all." Wu said while holding the Teapot.
"Not his loss, his life," Misako corrected with a soft smile, "He made us stronger, and he brought us together." She continued as they all looked up.
"I am Lloyd Garmadon." Lloyd started off.
"And I am Lydie Garmadon." Lydie continued.
"Children of Misako and Lord Garmadon." Misako spoke next.
"Students of Sensei Garmadon." Wu added.
"He made us who we are today." Lloyd continued.
"He was our father, he was our adversary, but in the end, he was our friend." Lydie added.
"Because of him, we will live to see tomorrow." Zane said next with a smile.
"And for every tomorrow, we'll live to honor him." Kai finished as Lydie tossed the spell book into the fire, burning it as they all turned to statues of Garmadon and Arcturus being made in their honor.
"And because of him, we'll be ready for whatever comes next." Jay said with a smile.
"Skulkin Armies, Serpentine Tribes, Stone Warriors, Nindroids Troops, Anacondrai Cults and Anacondrai Wannabes." Cole listed out with a smirk. "If they can't stop us, what can?"
"That's for tomorrow to decide." Lloyd said.
"But today, we say goodbye to a legend." Lydie said proudly as they all continue to look at the statues. "Hey, Uncle Wu? Can I talk to you privately for a minute?"
"Of course, Lydie." Wu said as the two walked off and got some distance from the others. "What is on your mind?"
"Well, other than dad, it's about the other Elemental Masters." Lydie spoke up. "I mean, in the Tournament, Chen invited every Elemental Masters from Ninjago to get enough power to become Anacondrai, right?"
"Why yes. It appears that way." Wu nodded.
"Well, what about the Master of Water?" Lydie asked, "Father mentioned that during the first war, the Master of Water was part of the alliance but there wasn't one in the Tournament,"
"Well, the Master of Water, from what I know, that power hasn't resurfaced yet." Wu said while feeling comfortable. "So there was no way for Chen to obtain it's power."
"Well, father did say that the Elemental Powers can skip a generation, so I guess that's true." Lydie said with a shrug. "But uh, there was another thing that bugs me. You remember your first pupil was the Master of Wind, right?"
"Very well." Wu nodded with a frown at the memory of his first pupil.
"But at the tournament, there was no new Elemental Master of Wind." Lydie said, which caught Wu's attention.
"What?" Wu asked in surprise.
"The only way a new Master could appear would be unless the previous one had died or passed his power to someone else," Lydie reminded, "And if there's no new Master of Wind, then maybe…" She trailed off as Wu understood what she was saying.
"Morro is still out there." Wu said in hope and slight dread as he looked to the horizon.
"Maybe you should tell Lloyd and the others about him," Lydie suggested.
"Perhaps, but as things are now, I would prefer not to ruin this peace with this news," Wu said as he continued to look out to the horizon.
"Whatever happens next, I'm with you, uncle." Lydie said with a smile, holding Wu's shoulder.
Wu smiled as they continued to look out to the setting sun.
At the ruins of the old Monastery, it still remained burned down while the wind blew from the mountain peaks. But then suddenly, a small wind tornado in the sky as it landed on the scorched ground and turned into a ghost with a tattered green gi with a silver snake symbol on his chest, blackened hair with a single green streak in it and the white of his eyes were black with green irises.
Once the tornado fades the ghost sees the Monastery and had his mouth opened in shock, "The, the Monastery," He muttered as he looked around at seeing it burned down "Wh-what happened?" He questioned before he looked at the snake symbol on the ground. "How long was I gone?" He questioned as he picked up a piece of wood from the ground and inspected it.
"Burned?" The ghost said in surprise. "Looks like Sensei forgot to turn off the oven." He joked with a chuckle before he noticed something in the pile and picked up to see it was a picture, the edges charred but he could clearly see it was a picture of Wu, the Ninja and Lydie after their first adventure.
"Master Wu?" The Ghost said recognizing the old man, before seeing Lydie and the boys wearing Ninja gis and putting two and two together, "So, you went ahead and replaced me while finding your beloved Ninja of Yin?" He said in hate.
"Well, I've got news for you, Master; the real Green Ninja of Yang is home." The ghost said as he tossed the picture away, shattering the remaining frame as he then surrounded himself in his wind tornado and flew off as the picture blew away with the wind as the ghost flew off into the horizon.
