At Ninjago City during the night time, the Ninja Museum that held exhibits of the Ninja's greatest victories of their battles and adventures together was closed as a single security guard. He passed by the animatronic version of Garmadon in his Lord form.
"Hmm." He stopped before he brought out a wooden sword. "Hands up, Lord Garmadon! All four of them!" He called as he lifted the animatronic Garmadon's arms up. "Oh, that's right. Ninjago won't be seeing the likes of you anymore. Good riddance. Hyah!" He called as he tapped the animatronic as it fell to the ground not seeing an ominous shadow flying over him and landing on the second.
"I say we join forces, take that hunky night watchman out." The watchman intimated Chen while holding an animatronic version of Chen in front of Garmadon's. "Chen! No surprise you'd betrayed me." He said before he heard a sound, which made him gasp. "Who's there?" He asked as he took out his flashlight and looked around, sensing he wasn't alone. "The museum's closed! I know Spinjitzu!" He warned.
He moved his light around, facing the animatronic versions of Lloyd and Lydie facing the Overlord, then his flashlight went off. "Huh? That is odd." He said before he got his flashlight back on, but then he heard the sound as he turned and saw the Grundle which caused him to give a startled scream before he sighs in relief that it was just a display of the Grundle. "Phew. I'm legally required to share that I've unlocked my full potential!" He called out whoever was out there.
He then heard a faint laugh, which made the watchman turn and saw the animatronic version of Lloyd move towards it while it twitched and its right arm fell. " We are the Ultimate Spinjitzu Masters. We are the Ultimate Spinjitzu Masters." It repeated while breaking down, creeping the guard out.
"That's it, I'm calling it in." The watchman said as he brought out his phone. "Let's see who's laughing…" He started before a shadow figure appeared behind him as it laughed, causing him to gasp and turn before he screamed in terror that echoed out from the museum as a green flash was seen.
The next morning, out at Sea, Lloyd and Lydie were riding on their Elemental Dragons over the ocean with the boys not far behind on their dragons. Kai then flew ahead as he gave a laugh, which made Lloyd laugh next. "Getting ahead of yourself, Kai?" He called out.
"We're leading this charge!" Lydie added as she and her brother flew ahead to Kai as the three circled around before the Garma-Twins splash some water on Kai, causing him to scream and cover his head in surprise.
Jay laughed in amusement. "That's one way to cool off a hot head." He joked.
"Hey, no one messes up my hair!" Kai retorted as he flew his dragon close to the water and caused a huge splash that hit the others, but hit Zane the most as he coughed and spit the water off.
Cole laughed, "You okay there Zane?"
"Affirmative," Zane answered with a smile. "It'll take more than a little water to take me out."
"Oh, what about a big fish?! Incoming!" Jaycalled out with concern as some sort of giant fish was swimming towards them before it leaped out of the water.
"Oh no," Zane said in fear as the fish nearly got him by the tail if he hadn't pulled up. The giant fish then started chasing them as Jay and Cole looked back.
"Whoa! People are suppose to catch fish, not the other way around!" Jay quipped.
"There he blows!" he called out as Zane looked back at the fish and scanned it.
" Based on its weight and size, this is the mutant fangfish, terrorizing the Coastal Village and depleting their food source," Pixal informed Zane.
"Pixal says this is the one!" Zane told the others.
"Alright boys, he took the bait. Now let's get this big boy back to the Aquarium." Lydie declared as the Ninja flew off as the fish followed.
"Let me guess, Kai. You caught one that big once?" Jay asked Kai in amusement.
"Heck no." Kai shook his head before he smirk. "He was twice the size." He added as the giant fish lunge at him, "Whoa!" He narrowly avoided a few chomps as the Fang Fish kept jumping at them.
"He's almost as hungry as you, Cole." Jay joked to the Earth Ninja.
"And twice as ugly as you, Jay!" Cole joked back as they laughed.
Lydie reached for her comm, "Nya, are you in position?" She asked.
" Oh yeah, time for the catch of the day!" Nya quipped as Lydie saw the fishing boat up ahead.
"Okay team, in line formation!" Lydie ordered as their dragons flew in a straight line with the Fang Fish catching up.
"It's right behind us!" Cole called as the Fang Fish jumped and gapped its mouth wide.
"Now!" Lydie and Lloyd called as the six dragons broke away and the fish bellyflopped right onto the deck of the boat, knocking the captain and Nya off balance.
As she helped the captain up, Nya looked down at the Fang Fish, "Great Job, Ninja!" Nya called to her friends as the Ninja all cheered while circling over the boat.
"Now that's what I call hook, line, and stinker." Jay quipped with a laugh as their dragons roared.
Back on the Docks, the Fang Fish was delivered and loaded into a tank. The Garma-Twins and Smith Siblings watched as a father and his two kids took some fishing gear and headed out, "Looks like we made this place safe to fish again," Kai told the two siblings and his sister.
"If you're father was still here, he'd be proud," Nya told Lydie and Lloyd, holding the former's shoulder, "You've become a great leader, Lydie," She complimented.
"No, we've become a great team," Lloyd corrected before frowning, "But I can't say we don't miss him," He added as they turned to see Cole, Jay and Zane watching the Fang Fish being loaded.
"It's working!" Cole cheered before the Fang Fish was dropped down causing the water to spill out over the three as they yelped and shook themselves while their four friends watched them.
"I still find it hard to believe that dad isn't here anymore," Lydie said with a solemn look, "With him gone, sometimes I wonder where I'm going or…who I might become," She said while looking at her hands, "Mom and Dad had me while the evil was in his veins, sometimes I wonder if deep down, there's a monster inside me, waiting to be unleashed." She admitted, wondering if one day she could turn evil like her father did.
"If there is, then I'll be there to pull you out from it," Lloyd told his sister, holding her shoulder with a smile.
"We know how you feel," Kai spoke on behalf of him and Nya, "After our parents disappeared, we almost lost our way,"
"But we were lucky to have each other to watch one another," Nya said with a smile as she gave Lydie a hug. "Don't worry, Daddy's Girl, Kai and I will watch you and Lloyd from now on."
"Me, I don't need much looking out for, so maybe focus it on Goldilocks here!" Lydie joked, giving Lloyd a Noogie while Kai and Nya laughed.
"Hey! No one messes up my hair!" Lloyd said, repeating Kai's words before Jay walked up to them.
"Hey, you four gonna get in the picture?" Jay asked with a smile they rushed back to the others. "No one's gonna believe this. Get in the picture. This is awesome!"
"Back. Back just a little further," Zane said to the man holding the camera as he stepped back a bit. "Just a little further."
The man backed up, but he tripped over the edge of the docks once he snapped the picture as he yelped and fell into the water before he turned into his and gave a laugh. "You guys!" he called out through his laughter while the Ninja looked in surprise.
The Ninja all laughed in amusement at what just happened. "Oh, great! Who's gonna believe us now?" Jay asked with an amusing smile. The giant fish decided to have a little fun as it brought up its tail before splashing it down to get all seven of them wet.
Meanwhile, Wu was at a well as he scooped some water in a bucket. "Mmm, 'Steep Wisdom'." He muttered as he turned to his newly built tea shot. "Not a bad name for a tea shop." He said.
After Garmadon's sacrifice, Wu decided to retire from being Sensei, and with the help of Susan, Nao, Misako, Fen, and Irene, they built a tea shop close to Garmadon's Monastery. Right now, the four women and man are setting up stacks of tea ingredients on the shelves while Misako works the register.
"And here I thought taking care of Orphans was a challenge," Susan commented, "But opening a Tea Shop?" She said as she sigh tiredly.
"Wu can't be a sensei forever," Misako said with a smile. "It's about time we all help out with his retirement."
"Especially with his brother gone," Nao said as she placed a box down on a corner. "We also have to look after his Monastery in his stead. Though, some of the kids still miss him."
"And what of you, Misako?" Irene asked the Garmadon Matriarch, remembering Misako broke down when she returned to the monastery after Garmadon's sacrifice.
"It still hurts," Misako said with a sad look before she smiled. "But, I know that I have to keep going for myself and our children. It what he would have wanted."
"Just remember, if it ever feels like too much just come to us and we'll take the reins while you recover," Nao told their friend, holding Misako's shoulder.
"Thanks you." Misako said before seeing Wu coming in. "Speaking of which… Irene?" She asked as Irene walked up to him.
"Oh, here, Master Wu, let me give you a hand with that." Irene offered, but Wu moved the bucket away and skillfully tossed it up before he moved past her.
"I am old, not weak," Wu said as he walked up to the counter and put the bucket on the counter.
Fen then walked in with some Tea leaves, "You take care of him, and I take care of you," He told his wife.
"Well, it looks like Steep Wisdom is starting to look like a real business," Susan said after she finished work on the shelves, "But one thing is missing, customers."
"Good things come to those who wait." Wu said wisely before they heard roars and they looked out and saw the Ninja and Nya landing.
"I'm just saying, it was big." Kai spoke up. "But I've seen bigger."
"As big as your ego?" Jay joked.
"Right." Zane said in agreement.
"More of an ego to your head, Jay." Lydie joked as Nya giggled.
The adults turned to Wu as he sighed, "Oh who am I kidding?" He asked, holding his head, "I'm tired of waiting. I'll put the Ninja to work." He decided, walking out with a box. "Ninja, you need to find customers." He instructed.
"No 'hello, how's it going, glad to hear you saved the day… again'?" Jay questioned as they all got off their Elemental Dragons as they walked up to Wu.
"Yeah, Sensei, we're all a bit tired," Cole said to him. "You mind if we handle this tomorrow?"
"Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today," Lydie quipped.
"That is correct, Lydie." Wu said with a smile. "We all have a share if this business succeeds. How else do you expect me to be able to afford all your new uniforms?" He asked with a smile while holding up the box. "Which reminds me, your new ones have just arrived."
"What do they look like now?" Kai asked excitedly.
"New suits?" Zane asked.
"Sweet!" Jay cheered.
"I bet they're off the hook!" Cole added as Wu opened up the box and revealed a new suit.
"Huh?" They all asked as Wu showed them a shirt with the Steep Wisdom logo on it.
"Uh, those do not appear to be ninja uniforms." Zane spoke up as he inspected the shirt. "They resembled work attire."
"Very observant, Zane," Wu nodded as he pulled out some fliers, "We must focus on furthering brand awareness. And here are the flyers I want each of you to pass out in the city." He said as he gave each of them a stack of flyers.
"Ugh! If I have to pass all these out, I may be the one passed out." Jay complained.
The phone then rang and Misako gasped, "That could be our first order," She said hopefully before shushing the others and answering the phone, "Steep Wisdom, how may we serve you?"
Soon, the Ninja came in with their new suits on. "Aren't we going to look kind of dorky flying up on our power dragons with these things on?" Kai questioned.
"You won't be flying on anything." Wu said to them. "We're selling tea, not magic. Besides you all have been relying a little too heavily on your powers lately. Real power comes from the inside." He said, gesturing to his heart.
"Uh, uncle, did you forget that we all just recently had our powers stolen?" Lydie asked. "Plus I think with our powers, more people will listen since most people don't think tea is the most exciting thing in the world, especially in the dry season."
Wu hummed and stroked your beard, "Hmm, I see your point," He admitted, "Very well, I will permit you to use your powers to promote our shop, but remember, it's tea we're trying to sell, not magic," He told the ninja.
"Yes." The Ninja cheered quietly.
Lloyd then placed a hand on his uncle's shoulder. "It would be our honored, Sensei." He said with a smile.
"Thank you." Misako said with a smile. "I'll let him know right away." She said as she ended the call.
"Is it a big order?" Nya asked in excitement.
"It's the police." Misako said to them seriously. "They've asked for Lloyd. There's been a break-in at the museum."
The others gasped in shock but Lydie looked confused, "But wait, why did they ask for just Lloyd?" She questioned.
"They wouldn't say. Just that Lloyd is needed for this." Misako explained.
Lloyd nodded as Cole walked up to him. "Go on. I'll take your share." Cole insisted as Lloyd gave him his stacks.
"Thanks." Lloyd said with a smile. "I owe you one." He said as he was about to walk off.
"Aren't you going to kiss your mother goodbye?" Misako asked with a teasing smile as Lloyd stopped as the others looked at him in amusement while Lloyd placed a hand to his face.
"Mom, we've talked about this." Lloyd said in embarrassment. "I'll catch you on the way back." He said as the others all laughed in amusement as Lloyd rushed off.
"Remember, we're selling tea, not magic." Wu instructed the others.
"Yes, Sensei." They all said.
In Ninjago CIty, Lloyd, who was in his Ninja suit, rushed up to the museum where he found two officers inside with police tape as they saw him at the entrance. "Well, looky here, the Golden Ninja. Feel safer already," the elder officer said with a smile.
Lloyd jumped over the police tape and walked over to them. "I got your call there was a break-in?"
"The night watchman over there had quite the scare," the young officer said while pointing from the watchman sitting on a bench with a blank and drinking some tea. "Doesn't remember a thing."
"Hasn't been too helpful," the elder officer added as Lloyd took off his mask. "Maybe you'll have better luck."
"Thanks," Lloyd said as he walked up to the watchman.
"Did you make the call for him?" the younger officer asked the other with confusion.
"No, I didn't," the elder officer replied. "Did you?"
"Heck, no," his partner replied. "I wonder who did?"
Lloyd then walked up to the watchman as he was letting out heavy breathing with the blanket covering his body. "So, you were on guard when it happened?" Lloyd asked him as he was still panting. "Can you show me what was stolen?" He got no response as Lloyd walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm here to help you." The watchman looked at him before a glare appeared on his face and he grabbed Lloyd by the hand. He then pulled Lloyd out of the main lobby and down a hallway.
"Hey, the bathroom's the other way!" the younger officer called as Lloyd and the watchman rushed down the hallway.
They soon came to a storage room where the watchman quickly closed the door behind them. "I was knocked out," he told Lloyd, but sounded different than he did last night. "When I came to, I found the only thing stolen was something that wasn't even on display." He gestured to a busted open crate with sand on the floor. "Just a worthless old armor brass plate they call the 'Allied Armor of Azure.'"
"Why would a thief leave these priceless relics and take just that?" Lloyd questioned as he inspected the crate.
"Oh, I don't know," the watchman replied as he walked over to pick something up. "Maybe it's because when you're in trouble, they say it's got the power to summon allies, whether they be friends, foes, even Spirits from the Curse Realm." As he explained, he picked up a sledgehammer and walked slowly towards Lloyd.
"The Cursed Realm?" Lloyd asked in surprise. "My father is there…" He soon turned around only to see the watchman about to him with the hammer as he gasped and quickly jumped away as the watchman slammed onto the sand while Lloyd got up and quickly dodged again before the watchman took off the blanket to reveal a blue armor shape like a blue fire with a white swirling symbol on it. "The Allied Armor. You stole it?"
"So, destiny chose you to be the beloved Golden/Former Green Ninja of Yang?" the watchman questioned with a look. "Those silly old man. Sensei Wu should have known better!"
"How do you know Sensei?" Lloyd asked in surprise. "And if you've got a bone to pick with me, maybe we can discuss things without weapons?" he suggested. The watchman ignored that as he gave a yell and swung the hammer, which caused some boxes stacked together to tilt. "Hey…"
The watchman looked up and gasped as he and Lloyd braced each other as the pile landed on the watchman as Lloyd quickly moved the boxes away to see the watchman on the floor.
"I don't want to hurt you," Lloyd said to him as the watchman grunted before he gave a yell and passed out as a shadowy figure came out of him and entered a picture of Chen. Lloyd was shocked as he saw the picture start moving and looked back down to the watchman.
"What's going on?" the watchman asked in his normal voice again. "Someone was in my head."
The painting gave out a sinister laugh before Lloyd quickly grabbed the painting and threw it at a golden Serpentine statue, breaking it in half. But then he saw the same shadow rising out from the painting and went into the statue as it began to move. "Your powers are useless! You think you can hurt a ghost?!" The same voice came out of the statue as the tail moved and trapped Lloyd. "I can possess anything!" Lloyd screamed as the tail squeezed him tight before he saw the shadow leave the statue and went over to the sand near the crate. The sand started to squirrel around before taking the form of a boy with glowing green eyes as he had a sinister smirk on his face.
"Wh-When he was in my head, I saw his thoughts, the world," the watchman spoke up as he was frightened of what he saw in the ghost's mind. "The world will be cursed!"
"You're a ghost from the Cursed Realm, but how did you escape?!" Lloyd questioned the ghost.
"When your father opened the door, he should have been more careful of what came out!" The ghost replied as he floated in the air before he started to swirl around Lloyd.
"Hurry!" Lloyd called out to the watchman. "The Allied Armor, give it to me! I need to call my friends!"
The watchman took off the armor and quickly rushed to Lloyd as he quickly grabbed it, but then the ghost gave a yell as he tossed Lloyd out of the sand swirl as the Light Ninja landed on his back before the watchman looked up. "Behind you!" he yelled.
Lloyd stood up and glared at the ghost. "You can't have the armor!" he called as the ghost resumed its form while wearing the armor.
"The armor's nice, but it's not the only thing I want to possess," the ghost said with a sinister smirk.
"What else do you want?!" Lloyd questioned.
"YOU!" the ghost quickly replied before he dived right at Lloyd.
Outside, the police were taping the hallway. "So, if you could choose to be any Ninja, who would you be?" the elder police officer asked his partner.
"Oh, that's easy. Kai," The younger officer answered. "He's the main one, right?"
"No, that's Lloyd and Lydie," the elder officer told him. "Kai 's the-" They both suddenly heard Lloyd screaming from down the hall before a rush of wind blew in as the two police officers gasped and felt a cold shiver run through them before they pushed down and the door to the hallway suddenly closed on his own. "Th-That Wind didn't come from outside. It came from inside!" That was enough to scare the two officers out of the museum as they ran out.
A few minutes earlier
Lydie and the boys were at an intersection in Ninjago City while looking around at the people walking by or going on about their day. "Okay, boys. So, how do you plan to use your powers to get their attention?" Lydie asked.
"Only be really awesome doing it," Cole answered with a smirk as he rushed towards a car, causing it to stop.
"Hey, Young man! Watch it!" the man inside yelled before Cole went under and started lifting the car. "Oh! Oh, no. Oh, no. Put me down! Put me down I say!" Once Cole had lifted the car up, he began spinning it over his head.
"Feeling tired? Out of strength?" Cole questioned as the crowd gathered around him and started cheering. "Yeah! Then get a pick-me-up at Steep Wisdom."
A magician man was performing a fire trick involving a torch as Kai walked up to him. "Care to pass the torch?" Kai asked.
"Sure. Let's see what you've got there, Mr. Teapot," The magician said as he gave Kai the torch.
"If this isn't your cup of tea, how about this?" Kai quipped with a smirk as he blew on the torch, using his powers to control the flames as he made a teapot on the ground as the crowd looked in awed as they crowded around Kai. "Steep Wisdom. The hot new place."
"You call that a crowd?!" Jay questioned as he pulled out a couple of electrical wires. "Check this!" He then sent a surge through the wires and made each electronic billboard change to Steep Wisdom's logo, causing a larger crowd to gasp and chatter amongst themselves. Jay then tossed a bunch of fliers to the crowd before he crowd-surfed on them. "I know. It's shocking, right?"
"If we are going to use our powers, you may as well do it right," Zane told the others before he made an ice sculpture of a teapot in the middle of the street, "Come down to Steep Wisdom, the most logical and coolest place in Ninjago," He told the crowd as they cheered.
Lydie rolled her eyes, "Boys, always using a hammer on screw, when a screwdriver is much better," She said before summoning her elemental dragon and taking to the air, throwing down fliers to the people below, "Oh yeah, it's lights out for your thirst at Steep Wisdom!" She announced it to them.
Suddenly, Lydie felt something…wrong and gasped while holding her head, "Wha-what's happening?" She asked herself while straining.
' L-Lydie, The Wind! Watch out for the Wind!' Lloyd's voice spoke up as Lydie cringed her head when she heard him scream.
"Lloyd." Lydie muttered as then she felt a wind blowing by, which blew some posters away, and kai teapot fire to go out, the billboards to go back to how they were, and Zane's Ice sculpture to break apart and melt, as the crowd groaned in disappointment.
Kai tried to make another teapot but then the flames came out purple, "What the?" He asked as the purple flames then spread out from the road, causing the people to scream and backed away. "W-Wait! I didn't mean to do that?!"
"Watch your aim, you amateur!" The Magician told Kai.
Jay then used his powers to get the teapots back into the board, but a purple electricity appeared and went to the other boards as they exploded and shattered. "What the? That wasn't even a full charge!" He exclaimed.
Zane tried to use his powers to make another ice sculpture but the ice came out purple a sprout out a tall spike ice structure, "Pixal, what is happening?" Zane asked as Pixal checked his elemental levels.
" It appears your elemental reactor levels have for some unknown reason become very unstable," Pixal explained to him.
Cole meanwhile was still holding up the car until he felt something off and then threw the car across the street, thankfully landing safely on the ground, "Hey! Watch it, young man!" The driver shouted.
"I'm sorry, it's not me!" Cole explained as he slammed his fists down, causing a mini earthquake and jagged purple rocks came out around him as people ran in fright, "What's happening?" He asked in confusion.
"My powers, they're out of control!" Kai exclaimed.
"Mine too!" Jay called in panicked.
"It appears something has caused our powers to become unstable," Zane said as they regrouped as Lydie landed down and her dragon vanished. "Lydie, has something gone wrong with your powers?"
Lydie looked at her powers and saw that they were okay. "No. My powers are under control except," She started before noticing the glow was a little fainter, "They feel weak,"
"What is going on?" Cole wondered.
Lydie then gasped and realized something, "Guys, I think Lloyd is in danger!" She said in worry.
"What? Why would you say that?" Jay asked in confusion while he and the others looked concerned.
"No time! We gotta go help him!" Lydie cried out in great concern before rushing off.
"Lydie, wait for us!" Kai called as they followed after her.
A bit later, the Ninja ran up to the Museum as to the door and saw that no one was around. "I don't see anyone," Cole said to them. "Not even the police are here,"
"What happened?" Jay wondered, noticing the mess, "It looks like a Tornado came through here."
"Tornado? Try a hurricane." Kai commented.
"And does anyone else feel a sort of breeze in here?" Zane questioned as Lydie and boy's hair swished a bit against a light wind in the room.
"Uh, maybe someone left a window open?" Jay asked nervously.
"Then why does it feel like it's coming from the inside?" Kai questioned as they went into the room the wind was blowing in.
"Lloyd?!" Lydie called out. "You in here, bro?!"
They then heard grunting and turned the corner to see Lloyd on the ground, struggling for some reason, "Lloyd!" The five said in concern and went up to him.
"Are you okay?" Jay asked.
"What happened here?" Kai questioned.
"Why did the Police call you?" Cole asked.
"Are your powers still stable?" Zane questioned.
Lloyd just kept grunting like he was struggling against something, while the wind they felt was coming from him. Lydie then felt the hairs on the back of her neck rising, "Lloyd?" She asked in worry.
Lloyd kept grunting as he clutched himself. "Lydie… Guys… Run." He muttered in slight pain.
"What?" Kai asked in confusion.
"Run! Go… Go to Wu! HURRY!" Lloyd yelled out as he started screaming in pain.
"Lloyd!" Lydie cried out in concern for her brother.
"Get, Get away from me!" Lloyd yelled as he summoned his powers and launched it at his friends, sending them flying out of the museum as they gave a startled yell.
"Why did Lloyd attack us?" Zane asked in confusion as they got up.
"Don't know, but he wants us to stay away from him and go to Wu." Kai stated.
"But what's wrong with him? What happened to him?! What happened to our powers?!" Jay asked in a panic.
"We gotta go get Uncle Wu!" Lydie said in complete worry for her brother as they all nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, at Steep Wisdom, Misako poured some tea leaves into a bag before giving it to a woman and her daughter along with a girl and boy around the Ninja's age were filling out some forms. The boy had dark skin, short black hair and was wearing a silver jacket while the girl with long blonde hair that fell over her shoulder and had on a pink shirt and white jeans.
"I added a little something extra," Misako told Mother and daughter with a smile before turning to the two teens, "And are you two done?" She asked.
"Just about lady," The boy answered.
"Thank you again, for allowing us to work here," The girl told the woman.
Just then, the five Ninjas then rushed in. "Sensei!" Zane yelled out.
"It's an emergency!" Jay added.
"We need you!" Cole called.
"It's important!" Kai added.
"Something is wrong!" Lydie cried out.
"Kids, not so loud," Misako said with a smile. "Can't you see we have our first customers?" She asked gesturing to the mother and daughter, "And this is Demir Maston and Rose Velvet, they were just invited to work here," She introduced the teenage boy and girl.
"Wow, the real Ninja!" The little girl said in wonder walking up to Jay, "Can't you shock me?" she requested.
"Uh, that's not a good idea kid," Jay said nervously, not wanting to hurt her.
"It's such an honor to meet the famous heroes of Ninjago themselves," Rose said with her hands together.
"Uh, not point this out, but aren't there supposed to be six of you?" Demir questioned with a brow.
"Uh, yeah, that's kinda the reason we're here." Lydie said as she went up to her mom. "Where's Uncle Wu?" She asked urgently before she saw Wu coming out with a bag in his hand. "Uncle!"
"Yes?" Wu asked as he turned to his niece and pupils.
"We were getting the word out…" Kai started.
"And then there was this wind!" Cole added.
"And our powers became unstable and purple!" Zane stated.
"Purple?" Wu questioned in surprise.
"Yeah, they were all purple and they went totally out of control!" Jay called out.
"And then we went to check on Lloyd and he blasted right out of the museum, what is happening?!" Lydie asked anxiously as outside the wind started picking up.
"If your powers have turned dark then that can only mean Lloyd has…" Wu started in dread before the wind increased and they turned to see Lloyd approaching the Monastery, wearing a dark green and black gi and hood.
"It's Lloyd!" The little girl called.
Wu held his hat as he looked at the wind. "I know that wind." He said grimly as Lydie and the others rushed off. "That's not Lloyd."
"Step aside," Lloyd told his sister and the others, with his voice completely different.
"Lloyd, what's the matter with you?" Lydie asked.
"I want a word with your uncle," Lloyd said with a glare.
"Whoa, Lloyd's gone through puberty," Jay commented in surprise.
"What's up with his voice?" Kai questioned.
"What's gotten into him?" Cole wondered.
"I sense some kind of foreign entity has taken over his body." Zane spoke up. "So the question isn't what, but who's gotten into him?"
"Whoever you are, whatever beef you have with my uncle, you have with us!" Lydie spoke up as she glared at 'Lloyd', "Give us back my brother!"
'Lloyd' just cracked his neck and let out a haunting chuckle which made the boys nervous, "Uh, Captain, how are we supposed to fight a brother?" Cole asked the Purple Ninja.
"Let me show you!" 'Lloyd' shouted as his skin turned pale and his hair became black as he ran at the group and blew wind at them, causing the five Ninja to scream as they were pushed back and fell to the ground as 'Lloyd' laughed evilly as they stood up.
"Great, our powers are going nuts, but his work just fine?!" Jay questioned in shock as they charged at him again but he knocked them away effortlessly and looked to the shop.
"We may not have powers, but we still know a little thing called Spinjitzu!" Cole said as he stood back up, "NINJA-GO!" He then did Spinjitzu but then 'Lloyd' caught him in the wind and threw him against a wall, knocking him out of his Earth tornado.
"So not only can he use his powers but he can also use the wind too?!" Kai exclaimed as Jay helped Cole back up.
"Misako, Lockdown the Monastery! Get them to safety!" Wu ordered his sister-in-law as she led the mother and daughter to the Monastery while Susan and Nao locked it down. Wu then rushed inside while the wind continued to swirl.
"Nya, Ian, Rose, come! We need to leave at once!" Wu said to the other three as he was packing a bag.
"What, since when do you run from a fight?" Demir asked in confusion.
"But this is our home!" Nya added in concern.
"Master Wu, what has happened to Lloyd?" Rose asked the old master.
"There's no time!" Wu told them as they watched the battle.
"NINJA-GO!" Jay called as he did Spinjitzu but got whipped around by the wind just as Cole did and landed on the ground.
"Our Spinjitzu is worthless against the wind!" Kai stated.
Upon hearing this Lydie began to think, "Wait, Wind Powers? Where have I…" She trailed off as realization came to her as she remembered years ago she read about a boy with a connection to the wind and her uncle, "It's you. You're Morro!" She said to 'Lloyd'.
"Who?" The boys asked in confusion.
Morro smirked, "You heard of me? I'm honored," He said mockingly, "Guess you're the only one with brains between you five."
"Hey!" The boys yelled out in insult.
"Yeah, I heard about you, but not as a ghost," Lydie spoke up with a glare. "And for the record, that's my brother you're in!" She snapped as she rushed towards Morro.
Morro took a ready stance as Lydie rushed at him as he was about to throw a punch, but Lydie caught it as the two then clashed out with each other, exchanging punches and kicks that Morro was surprised that she managed to keep up with him before Lydie then delivered a kick that pushed him back.
"What the?!" Morro asked in shock.
"Did you forget that for the Ninja of Yang, there's a Ninja of Yin?" Lydie asked with a smirk and fists up. "And you're in my brother's body, I know all his moves!" She called.
"But I know all the Ninjas move through his memories!" Morro exclaimed as he prepared his wind power.
"You may see the moves I showed him, but I didn't show him everything," Lydie said with a glare as she jumped up and delivered a couple of kicks to Morro, sending him back a bit. "Because we know that if any one of us goes evil, we have to prepare for it."
Morro gave a small chuckle while wiping his mouth, "Brains and skills. Guess destiny knew how to pick a winner after all," He commented while sending Lydie a smirk.
"You don't know half of it." Lydie said as she prepared her powers, but as she tried to fire, it sent a weak dark that just fell to the ground, much to her shock. "What the? What happened?"
"Uh, did Lydie just have a power block?" Jay asked in confusion.
Lydie then focused hard and summoned enough energy to make a dark energy ball and launch it at Morro, who stepped aside as it hit the ground while Lydie panted. "What's wrong with my powers? I can do better than this!" She said while looking at her hands.
"Heh, I'll admit that was pretty cute." Morro said with a smirk, "But let me show you something better!" He called before he sent Lydie away with a huge wind gust, which sent her flying as she crashed into the others, which knocked them back and scattered as Lydie was infront of the monetary door as she groaned in pain.
"Get up. Please." The little girl pleaded to Lyide as the Purple Ninja got onto her knees. "Ninja never quit." She added as Lydie got up and held her arm as Misako and the family got into the monastery to wait out the fight.
Morro then summoned more of the wind as he pulled Cole in and knocked him away, and then created a hurricane that caught all the Ninjas in it as they screamed and were scattered as they landed on the ground as the doors opened to reveal Ian, Rose, and Nya were on the counter as Morro walked in.
"Get out!" Nya called with a glare.
"Go stock some shelves before one of you gets hurt." Morro retorted with a look.
"Keep your advice to yourself, Windbag." Demir said with a glare.
"We'll take you on anytime, you Ruffian." Rose added with a glare as well before Wu stepped in.
"Stay back, you three. It's me that he wants." Wu said with a glare.
"Not you, just your father's staff." Morro said with a look.
"I see you've found the Allied Armor, Morro." Wu said as he ready his staff while also recognizing the armor he has. "Yet you haven't summoned your friends."
"The Ninja of Yin and her little sidekicks haven't given me a reason to," Morro said tauntingly, gesturing to the Ninja lying in defeat outside.
"Hey, hey, hey! No one calls me a sidekick!" Jay called out with a look as Morro smirked and shut the door, which created a strong wind that knocked them back again while inside some of the stuff on the shelves fell.
"You want the staff? Try to take it." Wu challenged as he got into a stance on the desk as Morro yelled and jumped at Wu as the two wrestled for the staff as the three watched before Morro pushed Wu next to a shelf of teapots.
"You've gotten old." Morro retorted. "You used to be a great sensei. Now you're just a petty shopkeeper."
"With age, comes wisdom," Wu retorted with a firm look. He then did a flip that pushed Morro back as the two fell to the floor, but Wu's staff went flying as it landed on some dust, which Wu and Morro looked at as Wu gasped at what he saw. "A secret message engraved on the staff." He said in shock when he saw three symbols on the staff and on the dust.
"The staff of the First Spinjitzu Master." Morro said as he used his powers to pick up the staff and started swinging it around as wind started blowing around.
"Hey!" Demir called, causing Morro to pause and turn to him. "Why don't you pick on someone your own age?" Demir told him.
"Oh, you mean like you?" Morro asked with an evil smile.
"Oops," Demir muttered as Morro swung the staff at him. Demir yelped and shielded himself from impact but then in a brief moment, his body turned to metal, taking the hit.
"Dde-ee-ee-eee!" Morro mumbled as he vibrated from the impact.
"What?!" Nya asked in shock while Wu looked surprised by this as Demir looked at himself.
"Whoa." Demir breathed as Morro kept vibrating.
"M-M-Me-e-e-etal!?" Morro questioned in shock before he stopped vibrating. "Lucky shot! But I'll get you again!" He called as he charged at Demir again.
"Demir, watch out!" Rose called as she raised her hand, which glowed green as some of the plants around the shop grew bigger and wrapped around Morro, tying him up as he struggled to break free as Nya saw her change and quickly knocked the shelf over Morro, trapping him on the ground.
"I do more than stock shelves," Nya said with a smirk as Wu picked up his staff.
Rose realized what she had done and looked at her hands, "My Word? Did, I do that?" She asked herself in shock.
"Okay, what's going on here?" Demir asked in confusion as his metal armor dissolved.
"No time. Now we leave." Wu said as the three nodded and rushed out of the store while Morro was still down.
"To the Bounty!" Nya yelled out to the others.
"I am not running away from my brother!" Lydie protested.
"We will not win this fight today," Wu said to her as the others rushed to the Bounty while Lydie stood at the door in conflict, not wanting to leave her brother.
Morro inside struggled to get up. "Give… me… THE STAFF!" Morro yelled as he used his wind to get the shelf off him as Lydie was pushed back.
The Bounty took to the air as Lydie got up with a serious look as she watched the Bounty take off while the others watched from the ground. "Oh! Is she crazy?!" Jay asked in shock.
Morro burst the doors down and pushed Lydie back slightly before he ran up and grabbed her as he growled. "Foolish girl, why would you try and take me on all by yourself?" Morro questioned with a glare.
"Because I promised Dad to look out for my brother," Lydie answered with a glare.
Nya then rushed into the others. "Where's Lydie?!" She asked in shock.
"She's fighting the Ninja of Yang," Kai answered to his sister.
"Alone." They all said in unison as they watched the two.
Lydie was pushing Morro back. "I know you're in there, Lloyd. Fight him." She encouraged before she then got Morro into a headhold.
"We gotta do something!" Kai spoke up.
"The staff is getting away!" Morro yelled as he saw the Bounty get farther away. "Let go of me!" He demanded as Lydie kept a tight hold on him.
"Only when you let go of Lloyd!" Lydie countered as she held Morro down.
Morro struggled as he started straining before he gave a weak face. " Lydie…" He muttered as Lloyd spoke through him, which surprised Lydie. " Help me."
"Lloyd? Is that you?" Lydie asked desperately as she shook her brother as he started straining again as Morro fought for control. Then the anchor from the Bounty came down and quickly scooped up Lydie and started bringing her up. "Wat! Let me go!" She yelled out to the others.
"A perfect wedgie!" Cole called with a smirk.
"I saw Lloyd!" Lydie called out as Morro stood up and looked at Lydie being pulled to the Bounty. "Put me down! Let me go!"
"You won't get away that easy!" Morro called as he focused his powers as Lydie was brought aboard the Bounty before they were being pushed back as they saw Morro using his powers to pull the Bounty back.
Lydie then rushed up to the bridge. "We have to go back!" She pleaded to Nya.
"Sorry, Captain, that's what I'm trying to avoid." Nya apologized as Morro pulled harder, causing the Bounty to tilt. "Oh, no!" She called as she and Lydie were being pulled to the otherside as Morro gave a mighty yell.
"Give me your hand!" Lydie called as Morro pushed harder before she tossed Nya up to the wheel as she managed to pull a switch.
"I've got it!" Nya called as she activated the Bounty's main engine and blasted off at high speed.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Morro yelled out as he looked at the Bounty and the staff getting farther away from him.
On the bounty, Nya saw on the monitor, Morro's signal was getting further away as she sighed in relief. "Whew! That was close. The coast is clear." She informed the others.
"Glad we escaped that dude," Demir said in relief.
Jay then sighs. "Spill it, Captain and Sensei. What just happened back there, and what has he done to our friend?" He questioned while everyone looked at Lydie and Wu.
"Yeah, guys. Who was that guy?" Cole asked in wonder.
Lydie then turned to her uncle. "I think it's time they knew, uncle." She said as Wu sighed.
"Yes. You are right, Lydie." Wu said in understanding as he turned to his pupils. "You four and Lydie were not my first pupils. There was one before you." He said as they all, san Lydie, looked at him in surprise.
"Huh?" Kai and Jay said.
"What?" Cole and Zane asked.
"Who?" Demir and Rose questioned.
Lydie then gave a serious look, "...Morro, the Elemental Master of Wind." She revealed grimly as Nya then got concerned.
"Okay, now those lights scare me." Nya said in worry as she pointed to the monitor as they crowded around her. "We got something on our six. Looks like your Master of Wind just caught his second wind." She said as she pointed to Morro's signal that was heading close to the Bounty.
Outside, Morro was riding on a ghost version of Lloyd's dragon as it gave a roar and fired green fire as he flew towards the Bounty, determined to get the staff from them.
A/N: To clarify, Rose and Demir are the new oc characters to the Ninja and more of their powers can be explained as the story progresses in the next chapter, since you might feel familiar with their powers. But anyway, enjoy.
