Lloyd continued to run through the streets of Canterlot City as tears continued to run down his cheeks. He had screwed up majorly as he unleashed the Ultimate Weapon while also unleashing a giant dragon onto the city before he destroyed the sword that controlled it.

Lloyd then quickly hid behind a building in an alley as he saw the people being held prisoner by the Dark Oni. "Oh, no. What have I done?" He muttered.

"No idea." Thunder's voice spoke up, which startled Lloyd as he turned and saw him and Flash coming out. "But you should see what that monster did to our ships!"

"It just crushed them like they were nothing." Flash mentioned.

"Ah, Flash, Thunder, you're both okay." Lloyd said in relief.

"Barely okay." Flash told him. "Why did you use the Ultimate Weapon when Sensei Wu told you not to?"

"I… I just wanted this fight to end." Lloyd muttered with his head down.

"Well, it's just beginning buddy." Thunder said to him. "So any time you want to stop a fight, maybe just-" He stopped when he and Flash saw some tears in Lloyd's eyes. "Wait, have you been crying?" He asked.

"N-No!" Lloyd replied as he was wiping the tears off. "L-Let's just find the others…"

"Lloyd…" Flash muttered with a slight solemn look, seeing how hurt Lloyd was then before.

"Uh, yeah. Let's find the others." Thunder said to Lloyd. "I think I saw Trail and Landrush only a few streets over from here."

"Then let's move." Lloyd said as the three ninjas quickly made their way onto the rooftops to stay out of sight from Garmadon's men, unaware that the Rainbooms were following behind.

"I think that was three of the Ninjas." Pinkie commented while pointing to the rooftops.

"They are, Pinkie." Twilight said with a brow. "Looks like they're trying to find their teammates."

"Twily!" They heard a familiar voice call out before they saw Shining Armor and Cadance coming over to them. "Are you okay?!" He asked his little sister with a worried look.

"We were so worried!" Cadance added with a worried look.

"I'm fine. I'm fine, we all are." Twilight assured her brother and sister in law. "But we gotta help the Ninjas, they're in trouble."

"No. It's too dangerous. We have to leave the city." Shining Armor said firmly. "It's not safe here."

"As dangerous as Equestrian Magic that is running around?" Twilight questioned her brother with a look.

"Um, well, that's different!" Shining tried to say.

"Shining Armor, we understand that you are worried, but Twilight is right." Principal Celestia spoke up. "This is bigger than us, bigger than anything.

"Besides, we got each other's backs." Rainbow mentioned. "What could happen?" The moment she asked that, the giant dragon knocked over a building a few blocks away.

"Other then a giant rampaging dragon, alot." Fluttershy said nervously as the dragon gave a roar.

"We gotta find the Ninjas fast." Twilight muttered.

Flash, Thunder, and Lloyd were running across the streets while avoiding some of the Dark Oni while staying out of sight. "The whole city's in trouble. We need to find the others, then get to Master Wu." Lloyd said to his two friends.

"Sure, but are you sure you're okay, Lloyd?" Flash asked in concern. "It's alright to talk to us."

"Look, I'll feel a whole lot better once we find the others." Lloyd said without even looking at them. "And Garmadon is taking over the city. Or what's left of it after the dragon attack."

"I'm a bit shocked that there were actual dragons here instead of just Equestria from what Sunset told us." Thunder commented while hearing the dragon roar from a distance.

"If it was, I'm pretty sure it was supposed to turn into a dog if it's from Equestria." Flash mentioned. "The Spike that was with Princess Twilight is a dragon, yet he turned into a dog when he came here."

"Then this is a real dragon from our world." Lloyd said to them.

"Run from the beast!" A citizen yelled as they looked down and saw a small mech running by while the dragon flew by as the Dark Oni started firing blasts.

"What about those shots!" Lloyd called out as he, Flash, and Thunder ran around to avoid the shots while also fighting off some Dark Oni forces. "That mech is strong without our mechs! We need to hit it with something bigger!"

"How about a big hot dog?" Flash suggested as there was a giant hot dog statue over the enemy.

"Good call, but how are we gonna get it down?" Thunder mentioned before they saw the remains of Flash and Thunder's mech.

"Well, we can use what remains of our mechs to knock it down." Flash suggested. "While they're down, maybe a weapon still works." He said while gesturing to their broken mechs where they crashed. Flash quickly pulled out his tanfas as he and Lloyd fought off some of the Dark Oni while Thunder pulled some rubble out from their crushed mechs.

"It's amazing how our mechs are still in one piece." Thunder grumbled as he kept moving some roubles before he saw an intact missile launcher as he smiled. "I found a missile launcher! It looks to be intact!"

"Great! Use it to bring down that hot dog statue!" Lloyd called as he and Flash kept fighting off the Dark Oni.

"On it!" Thunder called as he groaned and lifted the missile launcher and aimed it at the hot dog statue as he checked the connection wires and inspected them. "Okay, let's hope there's enough juice left in them." He muttered as he connected the wires and then the missile launcher launched its remaining missile and hit the hot dog statue, causing it to tumble down and crash into the mech as it broke into pieces. "Boom! Hahah! The way's clear!" He called out as Flash and Lloyd took out the Dark Oni.

"That really cut the mustard." Flash joked with a chuckle.

"Help!" They heard a young female voice call out before they went over and saw Apple Bloom buried under some rubble. "I can't get out!"

"Apple Bloom?" Flash asked in shock as he rushed up to her and started moving the rumble, which it touched with some of them being heavy. "Ugh! Hang on, little girl!" He grunted as he kept trying to move the boulders.

"Ninjas?" Apple Bloom asked as she saw Lloyd, Flash and Thunder trying to remove some of the boulders, but not seeing that some Dark Onis were coming up from behind them. "Look out!" Flash quickly docked under one of their attacks before he tripped another one up and kicked him back. Another one grabbed him from behind as Thunder quickly rushed over and whacked the guy off of Flash, but ended up ripping off his mask. "F-Flash?!" She asked in shock.

Flash eyes widened in shock as he felt his face and noticed his mask was ripped off. "Aah!" He yelped as he tried to cover his face.

Soon, Lloyd and Thunder manage to free Apple Bloom as she stands up and looks at Flash. "Y-You, You're a Ninja?" She asked in shock.

"Don't look…" Flash tried to say before he realized his identity was blown as he revealed his face to her. "At, me."

"Wait…if you're a ninja…" Apple Bloom started before Lloyd kneeled down to look her in the eyes.

"Look, we have to look for our friends and they're probably in trouble right now." He told her. "Stay close to us and don't say a word."

"Fortunately, I carry a spare." Flash said as he took out a spare mask and put it on. "Now come on, Trail and Landrush should be down this corner. And Apple Bloom, stay close and out of sight. We'll handle things." He instructed.

Apple Bloom stood in silence before she nodded while looking at Flash in awed as they ran down the corner and they saw a familiar mech stuck in a building. "There's Landrush!" Lloyd called out.

"Landrush?" Apple Bloom repeated before she saw Scootaloo in a building underneath Landrush's mech. "Scootaloo!" She cried out.

"Scootaloo!?" Flash asked in complete shock. "What is she doing there?!"

"She might be trying to help Landrush. He looks stuck after all." Thunder said while seeing Landrush stuck in his mech while having trouble getting out while Scootaloo jumped up to try and reach him.

"Uh guys, a little help here!" Landrush called out. "The cockpit is jammed!"

"We're coming, Landrush!" Lloyd called out before they saw some Dark Oni carriers flying by and landed some troops down. "Eventually!" He added.

"Apple Bloom, stay back!" Flash called as the Ninjas took out their weapons as they then started fighting off the Dark Oni while Apple Bloom stood back and hid behind some trash cans as she watched the fight.

"You think they guys have other things to do other than a rampaging dragon on the loose!" Thunder complained as he jumped up and kicked a couple away.

"We have orders to capture Lloyd and his little ninja friends." One of the goons called out.

"Of course my father did that." Lloyd muttered as they kept fighting off the Dark Oni before they were all taken down. "Now's that's out of the way, we just gotta find our way up to Landrush and Scootaloo."

They heard a dragon roar as they saw the dragon flying around. "While also avoiding the sight of that dragon." Thunder said nervously.

"Can't you do ninja tricks to jump up there?" Apple Bloom asked the three.

"Apple Bloom, we…" Flash started before he noticed a wall they could parkour up. "Actually that might work."

"Huh, guess with all this obstacle, we might just get there." Lloyd said in surprise. "Good thinking, kid." He complimented.

"Thanks." Apple Bloom said with a smile.

"Better hold onto me, Apple Bloom." Flash said as Apple Bloom hopped onto his back. "Okay, let's go." He said as the Ninjas started parkouring up the buildings as Apple Bloom gave a startled scream before she started laughing at the thrill she's riding on.

"Hang on, Landrush, Scootaloo! We're almost there!" Lloyd called out to them.

"It's not like we have anywhere else to go." Scootaloo pointed out. "So how are you going to get us out of here?"

"Just hang on!" Flash called as they ziplined to the building before they landed at the lower part of it.

"Hurry, guys! The canopy's jammed and I can't move!" Landrush called out as the Ninjas managed to climb up to the balcony.

"Just give us a minute!" Lloyd called out. "Anyway, how to get him out?"

Applebloom got off of Flash as the Ninja tried to figure out how to get Landrush out before Scootaloo spoke up. "If you Ninjas have grappling hooks, how about you guys try and pry his mech open?" Scootaloo suggested.

"Mmm, that's actually a great idea." Lloyd said as the two Ninjas nodded in agreement as they took out their grappling hooks. "Hang in there, buddy!" He called out as they fired their grappling hooks, which latched onto the hatch as they pulled harder before they managed to pry the hatch open.

Landrush helped out by pushing against the hatch before it finally opened and he jumped out. "Thanks!" He called as he jumped out before his mech crumbled to pieces as he jumped off and landed with the others. "Is everyone else okay?"

"We hope so." Flash said to him. "We haven't found them yet. But we're still searching."

"I think I saw Trail crash near the ice cream factory up ahead." Landrush told them as Lloyd managed to get Scootaloo.

"So let's get moving." Lloyd said.

"Yes. We should get some ice cream!" Thunder said before he saw the looks his friends were giving him. "After finding, Trail, obviously."

"Wait, Trail?" Scootaloo asked in surprise. "He's a Ninja?" She asked with an exciting smile.

"Oh boy." Flash muttered.

"Long story, Scootaloo." Apple Boom said to her friend.

"Come on, guys, let's get that elevator down and find Trail. Landrush, knock it down." Lloyd instructed.

"Sure thing." Landrush said as he went to the elevator and slammed it with his hammer, causing the support to knock down. "Our ride has arrived." He quipped.

"Then let's get climbing." Flash said as he held Apple Bloom while Landrush carried Scootaloo as they started climbing up the building before they entered a parking room and then they looked through the window and saw a familiar fire mech across the street.

"I see Trail's mech from here." Lloyd said to them as they saw the mech was on fire with some Dark Onis around it. "This is all my fault." He said in guilt.

"Look, you can feel bad all you want after we save our friends." Flash told him. "Now, let's get over there and put out that fire before Trail becomes a barbecue."

Just then, a carrier then flew in front of them after spotting them. "Or get blasted to bits!" Thunder called out as Flash and Landrush grabbed the two CMCs as they ran for cover before the glass broke and the carrier dropped some Dark Onis inside.

"Okay, you two stay while we handle these guys!" Landrush said to the two CMCs as the Ninja then started fighting off the Dark Onis as the CMCs watched from the sideline. Landrush pulled out his hammer and whacked a few away while Thunder swung his nunchucks around to block a few blasts being fired at them.

"That's not very fair." Flash muttered before he noticed a tow truck and its crane as he had an idea as he rushed up and avoided the blasters as he then went to the crane and latched the tow line onto the carrier, causing it to be pulled by the way. "That's right! You are overpaid!" He quipped before the carrier was pulled down before knocking a sign over before it crashed, which caused them to clear a path from another building and a path to Trail. "Well, at least it cleared a way for us to Trail."

"That, was, awesome!" Scootaloo said in excitement. "I can't believe what I'm seeing!"

"Yeah, Scootaloo, it is amazing to watch." Applebloom said with a smile.

"Uh guys, it's getting really toasty in here!" Trail called out.

"We're coming, Trail!" Flash called as they all rushed up to where Trail is as they took out the two Dark Oni with ease.

"We need something to put the fire out." Lloyd said to them. "Let's look in the ice cream factory and…"

"Please, not the ice cream! They'll melt!" Scootaloo pleaded as Lloyd gave her a dull look.

"Let's look in the ice cream factory and see if there are any fire extinguishers." Lloyd corrected with a look.

"Oh, heheh, yeah." Scootaloo said with a sheepish look.

"I think we can redirect the water for the sprinkler system to help put out the fire." Thunder mentioned.

"Well, we can try. But one problem." Flash said as he tried to push down the sprinkler button, but it wouldn't budge. "I think that dragon damaged the activation button. I can't push it down."

"Let me try." Landrush said as he stepped up and brought his hammer down on the activation button.

Soon, the sprinkler systems went through the tubs of a busted sprinkler system as the water put out the fire on his mech as Trail hopped out. "Oooh! Thanks." Trail said in relief.

"Are you okay, Trail?" Thunder asked.

"Yeah, apart from a rampage dragon taking out my mech." Trail said with a look before he saw Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "And uh, what are they doing here?"

"Tell ya later, have you seen where the others are?" Flash asked him.

"I think I saw them heading to the docks back to base." Trail guessed with a shrug.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Landrush said with a serious look.

"Control the beast!" A Dark Oni yelled out as a couple of mechs were running by while seeing the dragon tumbling some buildings along the way with a roar.

"Where's Sunset or Princess Twilight when you need them?" Scootaloo muttered uneasily. "They know dragons."

"Now is probably not the time to ask just yet." Flash mentioned. "And just to be sure, have either of you seen your friend Sweetie Belle?"

"Last we saw her, our sisters were dragging us to safety in separate directions when Garmadon first attacked." Apple Bloom said in concern. "She could be anywhere by now."

"Then let's hope we run into her in this chaos." Lloyd said to them. "Or if the others or the Rainbooms found her first."

They run up past the building and manage to get into the street before they see a battalion of Dark Oni waiting for them. "Ugh, seriously?" Trail groaned as the Ninja stood ready as the Dark Oni ready their weapons.

"NINJA, GO!" A familiar yellow and red Spinjitzu spun around, knocking away some of the Dark Oni before getting out of the tornado was none other than Sunset, who stopped and struck a pose as the Spinjitzu energy went into her hands as they swirled around before she noticed the others. "Nice to see you guys are okay." She said before she turned and saw Scootaloo and Apple Bloom. "And, Apple Bloom?! Scootaloo?!" She asked in shock.

"Wait, Sunset?!" The two CMC asked in shock after hearing her voice.

"Okay, we can deal with you two later after we find the others." Sunset mentioned before she looked at Lloyd with a glare. "What were you thinking?! Using it the ultimate weapon?!"

"Uh, I was just trying to…" Lloyd tried to say.

"And like you say, we'll deal with this later!" Flash said as he got between the two and looked at Sunset. "You'll scold Lloyd later. Right now, we need to find Gaia, Frost, and Aqua."

Sunset looked at him before seeing the firm look in his eyes as Sunset calmed down as she sighs. "Right. Right, sorry. Let's go. I think they went that way close to the docks." She said while showing the way to the docks.

"So, how long have you guys been ninjas?" Scootaloo questioned.

"Not the time, scoot." Flash said as the Ninja made their way to the docks while taking care of any Dark Oni in their way before they saw the way to it blocked with the door blocking them. "Great, the door's jammed."

"The whole city is gonna get jammed, thanks to Lloyd." Trail said while looking at Lloyd.

"Trail, stop it." Flash said with a firm look.

"Don't worry. I got this." Landrush said with a smirk as he raised his hammer and gave a yell before he whacked the door a few times, creating an opening as they went through. "He smashes, he finds." He quipped with a smirk.

"Help!" They heard a familiar voice called out before they raced through the crate and saw Sweetie Belle in front of Frost's mech as he was stuck inside while they were surrounded by Garmadon's goons.

"Found Sweet Belle, and it looks like she's defending Frost." Thunder mentioned.

"And it looks like Frost's cooling tank ruptured." Sunset added, seeing some ice around Frost's mech.

"We better get down there and help out." Flash mentioned as they quickly went to Sweet Belle's aid.

The Ninjas then began fighting off the Dark Oni before they managed to take them down. "The Ninja!" Sweetie Belle cheered before she saw her two friends. "Guys!" She said as she rushed up and hugged her two friends in relief. "I'm so happy you two are okay!"

"We're happy to see you too, Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo said with a smile.

"How did you get down here?" Apple Bloom asked.

"I was just searching for my sister or any of you after that dragon came out of nowhere, and then I saw the Ice Ninja's mech by the docs and saw him trapped inside. I tried to help him, but then the Dark Oni came and well, you all came." Sweetie Belle explained.

"Hey buddy, are you okay in there?" Flash asked Frost.

"I'm fine. But the ice has frozen the hatch and I am unable to eject." Frost said. "But, I am cool. Quite literally." He quipped with a slight chuckle.

"Just sit tight, we're going to get you out." Lloyd told Frost as they looked for a way to free Frost.

"Does anyone have a blow torch?" Thunder asked them while they searched around.

"Mmm, hey I know!" Sweetie Belle said as she took out a perfume bottle. "We can use this to open the hatch!"

"Sweetie Belle, this is no time for one of Rarity's products." Apple Bloom said with a dull look.

"No, I mean, Rarity's new perfume and melt the ice to free the Ice Ninja." Sweetie Belle said with a smile. "We just need a lighter."

"How did you know about that?" Landrush asked.

"Had an accident when I tried out Rarity's products during chemistry class, trust us, it was a blast." Sweetie Belle joked.

"It's true. Got us detention for a month." Scootaloo said to them.

"Oh, like the time you posted a blog about people's secrets because you were jealous of Sunset?" Thunder asked before Sunset elbowed him. "Ugh! What?"

"We agree to never speak of it again." Sunset said with a glare to Thunder, who flinched back with a nervous chuckle.

"Okay, let's see if we can light this up." Lloyd said as he pulled out a lighter.

Sweetie Belle then opened the lid of her perfume and pour it around Frost's hatch as she moved it in a formation before Lloyd lit up his lighter and quickly ad a flame to where the perfume liquid is at before they stepped back and an explosion was made as the lid went up before Frost got out of his mech.

"Thank you friends. It was getting quite uncomfortable." Frost thanked the others.

"Heh, looks like Rarity's makeup makes great makeshift bombs." Landrush quipped with a chuckle.

"Okay, now we need to find-"

"Hey guys!" Lloyd was interrupted by a familiar voice before they looked up and saw Aqua on top of one of the crates.

"Aqua!" They all called in relief at seeing her as Aqua jumped down.

"Figures I found you guys here." Aqua said with a smile.

"How did you get out of your mech?" Trail asked his sister.

"Heh, the dragon tossed the mech across town, but my hatch opened up on impact and managed to get out of it before any of Garmadon's goons got to me." Aqua explained with a smile. "But now we got a giant dragon on the loose and all of our mechs are completely totaled."

"Our mechs are down, but we're not." Lloyd said to them.

Aqua then noticed the CMCs. "And uh, what are these three doing here?" She asked in surprise at seeing the CMCs with them.

"We'll explain later." Sunset spoke up. "Right now, we need to find Gaia and regroup with Master Wu."

"Well, judging by how Aqua got here, I'm sure Gaia gotta be close by." Landrush said to them.

"I saw her near the warehouses." Aqua told them. "Come on, I'm sure Master Wu might know what to do about all this." She said as they all rushed to through the docks as they saw the wreckage left from the Dark Oni or the dragon while searching for their friends.

"Darlings! Up here!" Gaia's voice spoke up as they looked up to the roof and saw Gaia waving to them from up top.

"You got out of your mech too!" Lloyd called out with relief.

"Well, my mech sorta landed in the warehouse, so…" Gaia called out while gesturing to her damage mech close to the Warehouse. "But guys, you must come over here immediately. It's Master Wu…"

"Uh, since when does Gaia talk like Rarity?" Scootaloo asked as the other ninjas had worried looks on their faces when Gaia mentioned their sensei.

"Come on, let's go!" The Ninja and the CMCs then rushed to the Ninjas' hideout as they met up with Gaia at the top of what used to be the Ninja's Warehouse as it was a complete wreck as Landrush quickly hugged Gaia, which she returned as the two separated.

"The Warehouse." Sunset muttered as they looked down at what used to be their base, seeing many of their personal items and equipment destroyed.

"Yes. The dragon had caused quite the mess when it flew by here." Gaia said with a sad look. "But guys, over here is where you need to see." She gestured to the docs where the Destiny's Bounty used to be as it was now completely submerged in the water. Each of the Ninjas removed their masks as they went over and saw their sensei's hat floating in the water.

Lloyd stepped forward and looked at his uncle's hat as he had a dreadful look on his face. "Uncle Wu…" He muttered.

"What are we gonna do now?" Flash asked the others.

"How about explaining yourselves." They heard a familiar voice scold them before they turned to see the Rainbooms, their principles, Shining Armor and Cadance. "Starting now." Twilight said with her arms crossed.

"Did you guys follow us?" Thunder asked with confusion. "We are really bad ninjas."

"That, and Rainbow superspeed ahead to catch up to y'all." Applejack added with a look.

"Hi, sis." Apple Bloom said with a sheepish smile as she and her two friends looked at their respective sisters, who were giving firm looks.

"Start explaining, now." Twilight said with a firm look.

"And what should we say?" Trail questioned with his arms crossed.

"How about telling us about your little ninja club?" Rainbow suggested firmly with a look. "And also explain about this Ultimate Weapon Lloyd used!"
nt it
"How much did you hear?" Lloyd asked as he realized they heard everything they were talking about.

"Just about everything after Flash said that you used a weapon that brought in this beast!" Rarity exclaimed with a look as she gestured to the dragon flying around town.

"Not cool!" Rainbow yelled out.

"And now that dragon is destroying Canterlot City!" Applejack added.

"We were your friends, and now we hate you." Pinkie said naturally.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Sunset yelled as she got in front of them. "Don't blame Lloyd for this!"

"Yeah! It wasn't his fault! He didn't know what that weapon could do!" Flash added.

"And what about the rest of you?" Twilight asked which made the ninjas flinch in guilt. "How long have you guys been ninjas and why keep it a secret from us?"

"Yeah, especially how Gaia has been speaking with a fake accent this whole time during school or when we hang out." Pinkie added.

"Look, we're sorry that we lied to you." Lloyd spoke up with guilt. "And I'm sorry that I used the Ultimate Weapon, I was just so tired of my father and everything-"

"Garmadon is your father?!" The Rainbooms and the CMCs asked in complete shock.

"Whoa." Shining Armor muttered as he and Cadance looked in shock while Celestia and Luna gave cringed looks.

"Uh, you shouldn't have said that, Lloyd." Landrush said with a cringe look.

"So, have you been working with your father this whole time?" Shining question considering he is a cop.

"Dude, does this outfit show Lloyd is working with his father?!" Thunder questioned while gesturing to their Ninja Gis.

"Look, it doesn't matter anymore because this is all my fault and now…now Wu is gone…" Lloyd said with a guilty tone.

"Who's Wu?" Fluttershy asked them.

"That would be me." Wu answered as he suddenly appeared behind the group, which startled most of them but the ninjas were relieved to see him.

"Master Wu!" The Ninja all cheered in huge relief while the others flinched back in surprise.

"You're alive!" Lloyd cheered in relief.

"Duh, I'm a Ninja Master." Wu replied. "If I was going to die it would be teaching you a lesson."

"This guy is your master, like the teaching kind of master?" Rainbow asked the ninjas while pointing at Sensei Wu.

"He's also my uncle." Lloyd said, which shocked them even more.

"What?" Scootaloo muttered

"Lloyd, you have awakened Dragiya." Wu told his nephew.

"Dragiya?" The group, except for Celestia and Luna, repeated with confusion.

"Yes, Dragiya." Wu repeated while gesturing to the dragon running rampage across town. "The Elemental Dragon, with her elemental breath, her reign of terror will stretch far and wide until the entire world is her own kingdom."

"Okay, not the kind of dragon I have back home." Sunset said with a cringe look.

"With the sword that controlled it destroyed, there's now only one hope, one thing that can drive her away." Wu told them before he paused.

"What?!" They all asked before Sensei Wu gave them a serious look.

"The Super Weapon." Wu said seriously, which made them look at him in shock and surprise.

"First an ultimate weapon, now a super weapon?!" Trail asked with excitement.

"Really?" Rainbow questioned.

"Master Wu, where is this weapon?" Aqua asked their master.

"On the other side of the world, hidden where only a true Ninja Master can find it." Wu began to explain. "You must follow the right path, otherwise you will end up trapped in the deadly Jungle of Lost Souls, unable to cross the Bridge of Fallen Mentors, and mired in the Canyon of General Unhappiness. And if any of you were lucky enough to be still alive, you'll be crushed by the Temple of Fragile Foundations. It's a journey many have tried and none have returned." He said.

The group looked at each other nervously from what Wu just said while Luna and Celestia gave amusing looks. "That does sound very difficult." Lloyd slowly said.

"And terrifying." Thunder quickly added. "Very terrifying."

"More like both." Fluttershy said nervously while rubbing her hair.

"But you know what, we can handle it." Lloyd said as he tried to give a confident look.

"No. You can not. It will take great patience, courage, and hard work." Wu said to the group. "All the skills of a true Ninja Master. So…" He then looked at Luna and Celestia. "Celestia, Luna and I will make this journey on our own."

"Wait, why do they get to go?!" Rainbow asked with a bit of jealousy in her tone.

"That's for us to know and you to find out." Celestia replied. "Wish us luck then!" She and her sister then started to follow Sensei Wu before the group started to follow them.

"Wait, hold on, give us a chance!" Flash asked them.

"Please, uncle, I know I let Canterlot City down." Lloyd pleaded.

"You sure did!" Rarity yelled before Sweetie Belle elbowed her as she grunted in surprise.

"We want to fix this. We have to be true Ninjas!" Trail pleaded.

"We have the potential!" Sunset added.

"Hold on! You're not going anywhere!" Shining yelled out. "We need to contact the army and the air force and see if they can take that beast down!"

"There's no firepower in the universe to destroy Dragiya, Armor." Celestia said with a look. "If there was, we wouldn't be making this trip."

"But still, even with just the three of you, you can't do this on your own." Cadance mentioned with a worried tone.

"We wanna help too!" Apple Bloom spoke up as Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle agreed with her.

"Absoultely not!" Rarity shouted with a firm look.

"You three are not coming!" Applejack yelled out. "Ya'll need to stay here where it's safe."

"Oh, like a giant dragon flying around the city causing destruction and Garmadon's forces around is the definition of safe?!" Scootaloo questioned while gesturing to Dragiya, who gave off a roar and knocked down a building. "I think we're safer with you guys than here."

"They got a point." Rainbow mentioned as Lloyd went up to his uncle.

"Please, Master Wu, you know you need us." Lloyd pleaded. "I know we're not ninja masters yet, but you said it yourself: it's important to look at things differently. Is there anything I can do to change your point of view?"

"Hmm, tell me, Rainbooms, are you willing to give Lloyd and the others a second chance?" Wu asked with a stroke of his beard.

The Ninjas turned to the Rainbooms before the girls all shook their heads and said their respective 'no's as the Ninjas gave them a glare. "Nice support, girls." Sunset said with a glare at her Rainboom friends.

"Lloyd, you and the Ninjas have a long way to go to gain the Rainbooms' trust." Wu said to them.

"But luckily, there's a long journey ahead of us." Celestia said with a small smile.

"And we could only use an extra pair of hands along the way." Luna added as she looked at the CMCs, Shining, and Cadance.

"Really?" Cadance tried to asked.

"Now hold on a minute!" Shining said before Cadance gave her husband a glare, which made him silent down from the look as he gave a sheepish chuckle. "Uh, nevermind."

"Sweet! We get to go on an adventure!" Scootaloo cheered while holding her two friends.

"Just stay by us, no matter what." Applejack told the three.

"Thank you, all. Thank you." Lloyd said with a bow as his friends did the same while the Rainbooms gave confused looks.

"The fate of the world is in all your hands." Wu spoke up to the two groups of heroes. "We must work together if we ever need to stop Dragiya. Are you all ready?"

Both the Ninjas and the Rainbooms explained with a yes except for Fluttershy and Thunder who looked nervous. "They agree." Spike spoke up on behalf of himself, Fluttershy, and Thunder.

"Good. Let's go." Celestia said with a smile as the group began to rush off to their journey while the Rainbooms and Ninjas glared at each other before they continued their way to the outside of Canterlot City while avoiding being seen.

Meanwhile at the volcanic layer of Garmadon, a bunch of monitors caught sight of the Ninjas making their way out of the city. "Sir, I think we found them." A scientist spoke up while Garmadon, Kiken, and the Dazzlings were watching from behind. "The Ninja and a group of girls and a couple of others leaving the city and heading towards the other side of the world."

"The Rainbooms." Adagio said with a hand on her hip and a look on her face. "So Sunset was one of the Ninjas this whole time?"

"Heh, actually, when you think about it, it does make a lot of sense." Sonata commented.

"Oh, good grief." Aria groaned.

"Zoom in on my brother, as closest as you can." Garmadon ordered before he saw his brother speaking. "Good thing I can read lips. He's saying, 'The Super Weapon'." He muttered as he gave a serious look. "Of course. It sounds dangerous and something to stop my plans. But, it could be useful to stop that dragon."

"Master, shall I dispatch a fighting force to hunt them?" Kiken asked her master.

"No, they won't survive where they're going." Garmadon told her. "This is only for a true ninja master could go. You know, this is pure Warrior stuff. Alone in the field, tracking ninjas. And also finding out exactly what my son meant when he said that he wishes I wasn't his father. So, I need to follow them. Kiken, you're in charge until I get back, Dazzlings, you can come."

"Excellent. Come on, girls." Adagio said as her two friends were hesitant at first before Adagio grabbed them by the shoulders. "Come on!" She growled as she yanked her two partners as they and Garmadon walked out of the room to follow the heroes to the Super Weapon.
