In Ninjago City, the remaining resistance members, Harumi, Lloyd, Demir, Rose, Dareth, and Skylor were surrounded by the Sons of Garmadon after defeating Ultra Violet, and with Skylor out of commission and Nya having a broken arm, they were outmatched and outnumbered as they did their best to fight them off.
"There's too many of them!" Harumi called as he kept punching the bikers away.
"Get us out of here, Dareth!" Nya shouted.
"I don't exactly have a free hand at the moment!" Dareth called as he got a biker on his back, which he used to spin around and keep the other S.O.G. off him.
"They just keep coming!" Demir said as he pushed one grunt.
"Just keep swinging!" Lloyd called, but then they all heard rumbling sounds, which made everyone stop as they looked up and saw a portal opened up as they gasped when Firstbourne, her dragons, and the other Ninja exited it as they gave roars.
"Break away!" Wu called as they flew to the Colossus, who tried to swing a hand at them but they avoided it as they flew over the city, seeing the chaos.
"Our city!" Lydie called out in shock.
"What's left of it." Jay added.
"Things are not looking good since we were away." Morro said in shock.
"Let's just hope our friends are okay." Kai said hopefully before his comm went off.
"You're coming in loud and clear, brother!" Nya spoke up, which brought smiles to everyone.
"Nya?! You're alright!" Jay said in joy to his girlfriend.
"Oh… I don't know about that, but we could use a little help." Nya spoke up as they all nodded.
"They need our help." Lydie said seriously. "Zane?"
"I've located their transmission." Zane informed with a nod.
"Lead the way," Wu said as Zane dove downwards towards the fight as the Sons of Garmadon panicked and ran for their lives but some didn't get far and were frozen solid.
"The Ninja are back!" Dareth cheered as he and the others looked up in joy and awe.
"And with very large dragons." Rose added in awed as the other dragons used their elemental powers to push back the rest of the S.O.G. while giving a roar.
"We did it! We held out!" Lloyd said in joy as Firstbourne landed in front of him and his group while Wu jumped off, while the others looked awed at Wu's appearance as he gave a smile.
"Is that…" Harumi started in shock.
"Uncle Wu?" Lloyd said in shock.
"When I was an old man I was Wise to avoid a fight, but today," Wu started before looking at his first students, "I am not an old man," He said as the other Ninja landed.
Lydie then came down from Firstbourne and looked to Lloyd who stared at her in awe, "Hey, been a long time hasn't-" She didn't finish as Lloyd dashed over to her and hugged her tight, weeping happily to have his big sister back. Lydie was surprised at first before she smiled softly and hugged Lloyd back, "I missed you too, Little brother," She said sincerely.
Soon, the others rushed up to their friends and shared their reunion as they all cheered in joy, as Nya kissed Jay, so happy that he's back. "Look at us! The gang is back!" Cole cheered before he noticed that someone was missing. "But where's Seliel?"
"And where are Pixal and Misako?" Zane asked, noticing they weren't there either .
"Pixal, Seliel and the rest of our friends are locked up in Kryptarium," Demir explained.
"But what about mom?" Lydie asked in concern.
"You mean, Empress Misako?" Dareth questioned.
"What?!" The Marooned Ninja.
"Turns out father kept mom after remembering her." Lloyd said with a serious tone. "She was forced to serve as his Empress."
"And we have a feeling she's not okay with it." Harumi added in deep concern.
Dareth then brought the weakened Skylor towards them, which got Kai's attention. "Skylor." He said as he rushed up to his girlfriend. "What happened?" He asked in concern.
"She tapped into Garmadon's power." Rose answered in dread. "It was too much for her to bear."
"Can you help her?" Demir asked Lydie.
"Sorry, guys. But I don't think it will work for Skylor like it did my brother." Lydie said with a frown. "And even if it did, I don't think I can handle that much power if I absorb too much."
"It's okay. You don't have to." Lloyd spoke up. "I think we can save her if we stop our father."
"Has your power returned?" Wu asked his nephew.
"No. But Mystake taught me power isn't what makes the Golden Ninja..." Lloyd spoke up. "It's the person behind the power."
"She's no longer with us, is she?" Wu asked, guessing what happened to Mystake.
"No. She sacrificed herself so Skylor could escape Garmadon." Harumi said sadly.
"You know, we wouldn't be here without that crazy little woman." Dareth said before they heard the Colossus roared from the distant with rumbling. "In honor of her, I recommend we drop it old-school, and kick some butt!" He declared as he picked up a fallen sword and tossed it to Lloyd, who caught it.
"What do you say, brother? You're ready?" Lydie asked her brother with a determined smirk as Lloyd then smiled as the Colossus continued to wreck the city with Garmadon controlling it as the people ran off in a panic.
"Dareth and Lydie are right." Lloyd spoke up. "We do this for Mystake, and everyone else hurt by our father."
"But we're gonna need help," Lydie said before turning to Morro, "Morro, take Demir, Rose, and Nya with you to Kryptarium and break out Seliel, Pixal and the Resistance." She instructed.
"Gah, sorry Captain but my shoulder," Nya grunted as she held her shoulder, "I don't think I can fight like-" She was cut off when Morro grabbed her arm, pulled it while pressing his foot on her back making her yelp in pain as audible snap and pop was heard.
"Better?" Morro asked as Nya rolled her arm.
"A little. Thanks." Nya said with a surprised tone. "How did you-"
"When we were marooned in the First Realm, you pick up a thing or two." Morro said with a smirk as he jumped onto his wind dragon. "Now come on. We got our friends to bust out." He said as Demir, Rose, and Nya hop on.
"Ninja, can you stop the Colossus?" Wu asked the four boys.
"We've learned a thing or two about taking down giants." Cole answered with a smirk as he held up the venge chain gun as they got onto their dragons.
"Harumi, Dareth, keep Skylor safe." Wu said as the three nodded. "Lloyd, Lydie, you both must confront your father."
"I don't know if we can, uncle," Lydie said in concern. "I mean, I only unlocked the next level of my powers."
"And I've survived without my power, I don't know if we can stop him." Lloyd said uncertainty.
"You two maybe with certainty, but you are not without me." Wu said with an assuring smile, which made the Garma-Twins smile as they got onto Firstbourne as she gave a roar.
"Ninja…" The Garma-Twins started with knowing smiles.
"GO!" The rest of the Ninja exclaimed as the ones on dragons took to the air with roars.
"See you on the other side." Dareth said from the battlewagon as he took the controls while Harumi watched over Skylor as they took off as Firstbourne flew off to Borg's tower, the Ninja went into the city, and Morro flew out of the city to Kryptarium.
In the air, Firstbourne flew towards Borg Tower while Misako and Garmadon saw it approaching but paid attention to the passengers, "Lydie, Wu." Misako said in joy.
Garmadon however, gives a glare as he focuses hard, which Wu feels as he winces as his niece and nephew turn to him in concern. "What's wrong?" Lloyd asked.
"My brother. I feel his rage." Wu said grimly.
"Oh boy." Lydie said in dread.
"I feel you, brother." Garmadon said at Borg's Tower. "And I see you brought the Ninja and my daughter. But it's too late." He said as he raised a hand as the Colossus smashed another building, which sent debris. "Feel the wrath of my true potential!" He yelled out.
"Just don't forget what you said Garmadon," Misako told her husband, "You promised if I remain your Empress you would spare our children." She said with a worried frown.
"I know our promise." Garmadon said with a glare. "But that doesn't mean they won't be beaten into submission!" He called as he continued to control the Colossus.
In another part of Ninjago, the four Ninja are flying across the city as they look over. "Looks like there's a few who weren't able to evacuate." Kai noted.
"Giant snakes, overlords, and now this!" Jay exclaimed while gesturing to the chaos. "Why do people insist on living in this city?" He questioned.
"Because old friends are worth fighting for." Cole said with a smile as they flew down and started rescuing people as Jay then lifted a truck up from a blockage of debris.
"I know. The commute is terrible." Jay commented as he flew them out of the city.
Zane saw a road was destroyed as the people couldn't get across, but he then flew the ice dragon over as it released an ice blast to create an ice bridge, which made the people cheer as they carefully walked across it.
Rufus screamed when a debris was gonna land on him, but a chain wrapped around him and pulled him away as he was taken to the air as he saw Kai and the fire dragon giving a roar before Rufus let go once he was close to the ground.
"Superheroes do exist." Rufus said with a smile as he gave a thankful wave to Kai, who waved back in return before flying off.
In another part of the street, some of the S.O.G. were harassing Gayle and Vinny, "Whatever happened to freedom of the press?!" Gayle questioned the laughing men.
Then a distant call was heard as Dareth's hand appeared as he made a hand gesture and jumped in front of them while wearing his mask. "When you mess with Gayle Gossip, you mess with… the Brown Ninja!" He declared.
"You hear that, fellas?" One of the bikers questioned with a smirk. "The Brown Ninja made a mess!" He taunted as they all laughed at him.
"What nono that's not what I, NO! That's gross, you've twisted my words!" Dareth said slowly before taking a breath, "Laugh all you want, it's time to wipe out crime!" He yelled as the S.O.G. went up to him.
But when Dareth tried to attack, he tripped, but shockingly, he clumsily flipped around and took out the S.O.G. with ease as he sat on the last one as he turned to Vinny and Gayle as the Battlewagon came up behind him. "Please tell me you got that." Dareth asked as Vinny gave a shrug as Dareth went up to the battlewagon.
"Wait, who are you?" Gayle asked as Dareth just chuckled.
"Your biggest fan." Dareth simply said before he jumped into the Battlewagon and it drove off while Gayle fainted with a blissful look.
An S.O.G goon then rushed into Kryptarium as some guards were waiting, "What's going on?" One guard asked the other.
"We got problems! The Ninja of Yin, Her boytoy and her little sidekicks, they're alive! They just showed up out of the sky on giant dragons!" the goon exclaimed with fear. "The boss needs all hands on deck!"
Seliel, Pixal and the other prisoners heard this. "The Ninja…" Pixal said in shock. "They've returned?"
"I knew they'd be back." Seliel said with a smile.
"Well, I'll be…" Ronin said with a surprised tone.
"And the bad news just keeps on coming for you!" Morro's voice called as he, Demir, Rose and Nya charged with battle ready poses, "While Fire, Ice, Earth, and Lightning are away."
"Wind, Metal, Nature, and Water will play!" Nya smirked as Demir armored up as the S.O.G. guards rushed up, but Demir whacked them away with smirks.
"You don't have the vengestone to protect you now." Rose said with a smirk as the prisoners then chanted.
"The Resistance Never Quit! The Resistance Never quit! The Resistance Never Quit!" The prisoners all chanted as the four Ninja all smiled at their chanting as Rose used her powers to grow vines and rode it to the tower as she pressed a button, which opened up all the cages as the guards all looked in dread, no longer feeling like the law anymore.
Back at the city when the sun went down, Firstborne, the Garma-Twins, and Wu continued to fly their way to Borg's Tower. "Tell me you two know how to defeat him." Lloyd said to his sister and uncle.
"Uh, I got nothing, Lloyd." Lydie said with a sheepish shrug.
"Only a fool thinks he knows everything." Wu added. "I admit, I know nothing either. How this will end is beyond me." He said as they flew closer to the tower.
Back with the Core Four, they were flying above the streets while circling the Colossus as it tried to swat them away. "Okay, we got the people out of the way." Cole said as they flew around. "Time to deal with the elephant in the room." He quipped.
"That is not an elephant, Cole." Zane pointed out.
"We got it, Zane." Kai said as they armed their chain guns. "Just train your chain on the big guy. Remember what Faith taught us. We do this together!" He said as they flew towards the Colossus.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Jay called as he fired his chain at the leg as Kai did the same, circling the leg, but the Colossus broke it easily.
At Borg's Tower, Firstbourne landed on the side as the Garma-Twins and Wu got off her as she flew off as the three stood ready as they looked at the rubble of what used to be the throne room. "Any sign of mom, or dad?" Lydie asked as they stuck close.
"Not yet." Lloyd said. But knowing them, they are close." He said as they climbed through the rumble to the top of the throne room before a banner flew off as they looked around.
"My family…" Garmadon's voice spoke up as the three ready their swords as they felt their presence. "My enemies…" He continued as the three stood back to back. "You may have father's sword, but now my power surpasses his and the Overlord himself." The banner came at them again as Wu sliced it.
Garmadon then jumped down behind the three, glaring his blood red eyes at them. The Garma-Twins and Wu drew their swords in ready stances as Garmadon used his powers to create purple energy weapons as he gave a yell as the four family members started fighting each other.
As they clashed with each other, Lloyd was the most vulnerable without his powers as Garmadon knocked him onto the upper levels. After swatting Wu back he clashed with Lydie, "What have you become, father?!" Lydie demanded she look into Garmadon's eyes.
"Time has treated you and your uncle well, daughter." Garmadon said as he, Lydie and Wu got into a standstill as he held their swords together. "You think father's sword can hurt me?" He questioned his brother.
"No." Wu answered with a serious look. "But it can hold you."
"Now!" Lydie yelled as Firstbourne came up from behind them as Lydie and Wu backed away as Garmadon looked in shock as Firstbourne released a blast of molten lava as the entire area gave off a small explosion.
Once the smoke cleared, the three looked at Garmadon stuck in molten hardened lava, but then black smoke came off of him as the lava completely evaporated. "Don't you get it? The fight is what fuels me!" He shouted as he marched towards them while powering up.
"Kids! Get down!" Wu shouted as they ran for cover before a massive wave of purple energy sent them and Firstbourne flying.
"What was that?" Cole asked after seeing the explosion.
"Look out!" Kai shouted as Cole received a punch from the Colossus.
Wu lost his father's shield as he fell closer to the ground, but then Firstbourne flew in and caught him as they crashed into the ground. Wu got up as he saw Firstbourne unconscious as he looked up to Borg's Tower. "Lloyd. Lydie." He muttered.
Back at Borg's Tower, the Garma-Twins are climbing back up to the top before they yelp when their father steps in. "Hello, kids, and farewell." Garmadon said with a smirk as Lydie and Lloyd held onto the edge. "How long can you two endure?!"
"We thought the fight is what fueled you?" Lloyd said with a look. "Is this how you fight?"
"Because if the fight makes you stronger, if something happens to us, then who will be fighting you on equal grounds?" Lydie added with a look.
Garmadon thought for a moment as he gave a glare until he grabbed his childrens and glared at them before tossing them back on the platform, which they rolled as they saw their father grabbing the Dragon Sword. "If only father could see me now." Garmadon said with a smirk as he picked up the sword as The Garma-Twins picked up their swords as the three charged at each other as they clash blades.
Back with the Four Core Ninja, they continue to fly around the Colossus while they keep being swatted away as they try to continue wrapping chains around it. "He's too considerable to take down." Zane stated.
Kai shot a chain at the Colossus, but it reacted fast and caught the chain. "And he's got good reflexes!" He said in surprise before he was swung off his dragon as he gave a shout before he landed on Jay's dragon.
"Guys, I'm nearly outa chain!" Cole called out, running low on chains for his weapon.
"Me too! Where's Morro when you need him!" Jay called out.
"Even if we had more, it's not thick enough to stop it." Kai pointed out that their chains aren't thick or big enough to stop the Colossus completely.
"Then perhaps next time we should use thicker chains." Zane said as they avoided the Colossus' swinging hands.
"There ain't gonna be a next time!" Cole called out.
"And Zane's the smart one." Jay joked.
"No, he's onto something…" Kai said, having an idea. "Look at all that chain. If we can use it, we could lock it down." He said as he gestured to the chains still wrapped around the Colossus.
"And who of us is stupid enough to jump on that thing?" Cole sarcastically asked.
"Cole, say no more." Kai said with a smirk as he jumped off Jay's dragon and onto the head of the Colossus as he tried to keep his balance.
Back on Borg's Tower, Garmadon and his children continue to clash blades with each other as they keep exchanging strikes while Lloyd and Lydie are doing their best to avoid falling from the edge.
Back on the Colossus, Kai struggled to keep his balance as he tripped over and grabbed onto the edge of the stone hat. "That's my last one!" Cole yelled out as he shot a chain next to Kai and let go of his chain gun. "Make it count!"
Kai then used the chain to climb down to the lower levels of the Colossus.
Back on Borg's tower, Lloyd and Lydie avoided another swipe from their father as they rolled on the ground. "This isn't what grandfather wanted Ninjago to be, father!" Lydie shouted out as they flipped over.
"Yeah! He left his world to make it a better place." Lloyd said as the two blocked a sword strike as they were pushed back. "He fought to restore the balance."
"Ninjago isn't built on balance!" Garmadon shouted at them. "It's built on…" He then jumped forward as the Garma-Twins avoided another swipe as he cut a stone in half. "Power! And controlled by who he possesses it!" He called as Lydie then quickly did a sword swipe, which knocked the Dragon Sword out of her father's hand as it slid across the floor.
"Brother, get the sword!" Lydie shouted as Lloyd ran up to the dragon sword and quickly swamp it from his regular one. Garmadon growled as he then summoned his powers and shot two blasts at his children, which Lydie counteracted with her powers while Lloyd blocked the strike, which surprised him as he looked at the Dragon Sword as Lydie landed beside him. "Lloyd, that sword can absorb Elemental Power! Even the most powerful ones!" She explained.
"Really? Great!" Lloyd said with determination as he and the Garma-Twins got into a ready stance as Garmadon sent more blasts at them, but his children kept repelling them with Lloyd using the sword and Lydie using her powers to counteract them as they dodged some.
"Not so fun now when it's a fair fight, huh, father?" Lydie questioned with a smirk as Garmadon gave a yell and summoned his energy daggers and charged at his children as they clashed blades.
"No matter what you've done or what you've become!" Lloyd started as he and Lydie fought. "We have to believe that this isn't really you!"
"You can change father!" Lydie told him. "Please, think of the man you were!"
"Youthful ignorance! That man is no more!" Garmadon said angrily before knocking them away and crept up to them. "People don't change!" He said as he kicked Lloyd and Lydie. "They only reveal who they truly are!"
Garmadon then used his powers which nearly knocked Lloyd and Lydie over the building, until Garmadon grabbed them and threw them at a rock, Lloyd and Lydie tried to get up only for their father to knock them away again, The Garma-Twins then saw their father standing over them as they took off their masks and gave him a determined look.
"No! You're wrong!" Lloyd shouted.
"You can change! We know you can!" Lydie shouted as they blocked their father's strike, but then Lloyd lost his grip on the Dragon Sword as it was sent falling off the building as the Garma-Twins watched.
"No! Grandfather's sword!" Lydie shouted as she and Lloyd looked down in dread.
"Get up and fight me." Garmadon said to his children as the two kept looking down. "Get up!" He snapped. "Fight me!" He yelled as the Garma-Twins kept silent.
They looked at each other as they remembered the fight fuels their father as they remembered a way to stop him without fighting as they nodded and turned to their father. "No, it's the fight that fuels you." Lloyd said as he and his sister turned to their father.
"We cannot fight you." Lydie started as she and Lloyd simply avoided his blades.
"But we can resist you." Lloyd added as Garmadon yelled as they continued to dodge his attacks, using the Art of the Silence Fist on their own father.
Back with the four core Ninja, Kai climbed up on a chain while the others continued to wrap their chains around the Colossus. "Keep distracting it!" Cole shouted.
Kai then brought two chains together as he used his powers to meld them together as the others and their dragons continued to wrap the chains around in certain places as the Colossus' legs began to bend.
"We cannot fight you." Lloyd said.
"But we can resist you." Lydie finished.
"Stop saying that!" Garmadon exclaimed as he levitated a boulder and tossed it at his children, who avoided them as they kept dodging them.
"We cannot fight you…" Lloyd repeated.
"But we can resist you!" Lydie added.
Garmadon charged a yell as he charged at his children, but they jumped over him as he fell to the floor. "We cannot fight you…" Lloyd started.
"But we can resist you." Lydie added as Garmadon looked at his hand and saw his power fading as he fired a blast at the two, but they simply avoided them.
"How are you doing this?!" Garmadon demanded.
"The Art of the Silent Fist," Lydie told him as they dodged more of his attacks, "To fight without fighting." She continued.
"The key is balance. Let your opponent fight himself," Lloyd finished reciting the words Garmadon told them, now ironically used against him as the Dark Lord roared out in fury.
Back with the Colossus, the four Ninja continue to tie the Colossus down as Kai begins to climb back up. "It's working!" Jay exclaimed. "Get off of there, Kai!" He added as the Colossus was about to tip over as Kai jumped off with a shout and landed on his fire dragon as the Colossus fell to the ground as they all cheered.
But then the Colossus started to get back up, much to their shock. "It's breaking free!" Cole exclaimed.
"What?!" Jay shouted.
"It's weaken!" Zane stated.
"It didn't fall hard enough!" Cole shouted.
"Oh, come on!" Kai complained as Cole was swatted away, but then two chains were shot and tied up to the Colossus's left hand.
"Maybe we can offer some metal!" Wu shouted with a smirk as he and Morro flew in on their dragons with their chains ready.
"Let's take this thing down once and for all!" Morro called with a smirk as they heard honking sounds.
"Don't think we've forgotten about you guys!" Seliel called out through the comms as the Battlewagon came in and rammed one of the Colossus's legs, causing it to tilt as Pixal, Demir, Rose, Nya, and the rest of the people, human and Serpentine and alike, came in with bigger and thicker chains.
Misako then came into view, having escaped from Borg's tower to help end this, while holding the chains. "Tie it down!" She called, tossing the group some more chains as the people started running around the chains while the Ninja used their dragons to grab the chains and started pulling.
"Here we go again!" Jay called out as the Colossus fell to its knees.
"The bigger they are!" Cole shouted.
"The harder they fall! Zane finished as the Colossus completely fell down.
Back in Borg's Tower, Garmadon and his children continue to glare at each other as Lydie and Lloyd simply walk down. Garmadon sent another blast at them, but it simply faded before it could touch them as they simply walked around him with their backs turned.
"We cannot fight you, but we can resist you." Both the Garma-Twins said in unison as Garmadon tried to power up his fists but then his powers finally burned out as he looked to his hands in shock before he fell to his knees.
"My power. Where is it?" Garmadon questioned with a pant.
Lloyd then closed his eyes as they then glowed golden before he opened his eyes to show his fully golden eyes. Garmadon and Lydie looked on, the former in horrified shock while the latter with a bright smile as Lloyd looked at his hands, glowing with Golden Light as he was surrounded by elemental energy for a moment as his powers fully returned before they stopped, but he still kept his hands powered up.
"Lloyd, your powers! They're back!" Lydie cheered, rushing up to Lloyd while holding his hands as Lloyd smiled back. Garmadon then dropped down in defeat as his children turned to him.
Back with the others at the Colossus, the stone creature was beginning to crumble now that Garmadon lost its power, its purple light faded as it started crumbling to pieces as the people ran out of the way as they looked down at the rumble as the Resistance all cheered.
In the battlewagon, Skylor began to cough as she opened her eyes, no longer purple now that Garmadon's power was no longer in her, "What, what happened?" Skylor asked weakly before her eyes landed on Kai, "Kai?" She said hopefully.
"Yes. And we won." Kai said with a smile as Harumi smiled at the sight.
Back on Borg's Tower, the Garma-Twins look at their father with their powers ready. "What are you two waiting for? You still have to finish me." Garmadon told them.
Lloyd and Lydie looked at each other before they put away their powers and approached their father. "No, you're already finished." Lloyd stated.
"It's over, father." Lydie added firmly.
"It's not over." Garmadon said without looking up, speaking in a frightful tone. "But when they come, it will be." He said, which confused the Garma-Twins. "My power… It was the only thing that could battle back the darkness from devouring us all, but you two took that away. And now everything will be gone." He said in defeat.
"What do you mean?" Lloyd asked.
"Who's coming?" Lydie asked, kneeling in front of him.
"Oh you'll see. As my daughter, the responsibility of facing this darkness falls onto you," Garmadon said before looking at Lydie dead in the eye, "But when they come and you fail to stand against them, nothing will be left." He said as the Garma-Twins looked on in worry.
A bit later, the Commissioner and the police force then round up the rest of the Sons of Garmadon, with Ultra Violet and Killow walking up to the truck. "Well, I hope you scum took care of Kryptarium. I know some cells that have opened up." The Commissioner said with a smirk.
Seliel then kicked Ultra Violet forward, "Another one bites the dust!" She quipped smugly as Ultra Violet turned and was about to yell before Seliel stuffed a sock in her mouth, "Ah, the sweet sound of silence."
"Room for one more?" Lloyd and Lydie's voices spoke out as everyone turned around to see the Garma-Twins by the entrance of Both Tower with Garmadon with his head down in defeat.
"Lloyd! Lydie!" They all exclaimed in joy as they rushed to The Garma-Twins as the cops apprehended Garmadon.
"Man, I can't believe it!" Jay cheered.
"Yeah!" Cole cheered.
"Lloyd, your powers are back!" Nya cheered after seeing Lloyd's eyes glowing gold color.
"And Garmadon's power is gone." Demir cheered with a smile.
"The balance is restored." Morro said with a smile.
"And Harumi, there's some people who were imprisoned in Kryptarium who would like to see you." Seliel said, gesturing behind them with a smile.
Harumi turned and her eyes widened as she saw the Emperor and Empress approaching, "Mother! Father!" Harumi cheered with tears of joy as she rushed towards them and hugged them both. "Your, you're alive! I, I thought…" She tried to say as tears trickled down her face.
"That was a lie, dear." The Empress said with a smile. "When Hutchins destroyed the palace, his men took us prisoner while falsely reporting our deaths to strike the hearts of the people of Ninjago."
"He also told us you were lost in fire," the Emperor told her with a frown. "And we are so relieved that it was just another lie."
Harmui gave a tearful smile as she hugged her adoptive parents again. "I'm so happy that you're okay!" She cheered as her adoptive parents smiled as they returned the hug as the others smiled.
"Thank you Ninja for saving Ninjago. Again." The Commissioner said with a smile as he and his cops walked off.
Pixal and Zane walked up to each other as they shared warm smiles and brought each other a warm hug and a kiss at reuniting once more as Cole and Seliel did the same.
The cops took Garmadon to one of the police trucks as he looked at his children. "They will come," He vowed before he was shoved inside and the doors closed and the trucks drove off to Kryptarium. All throughout Ninjago City the sounds of Laughter, cheering and dancing from the people, finally free of the S.O.G's tyranny.
"Just another day in the life of a Ninja." Morro joked that around the city, people took down Garmadon's banners. "Wonder what tomorrow holds?" He asked himself.
Soon, the next day, the Ninja then started cleaning up the wreckage in the back of the palace, now back in their old gis. "It holds a lot of work, Morro." Jay grumbled as he was filling up a garbage bag.
"We saved Ninjago, can't we get a day off?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, we had to fight a civil war and travel across realms to get here!" Rose complained as she swept.
"We help break it…" Lloyd started with a smile.
"We help rebuild it." Lydie finished.
"Ninja! There's trouble!" Wu shouted as he rushed into the courtyard, now back to his original age. "Come to the gates, quickly!"
"What, another threat already?" Kai questioned.
"Are you kidding me?" Demir said tiredly, "Not again,"
"I'm still sore from our last adventure." Jay complained as Wu rushed off to the entrance.
"Come on, guys, let's go!" Lydie said as they dropped their cleaning supplies and put on their masks as they rushed up to the palace entrance, but what they saw wasn't trouble, but there was cheering as they saw many of their friends and allies cheering for them as a band started playing as the Ninja took off their hoods as they look on in surprise.
Harumi and her parents walked up to the Ninja, "Rumi, what is this?" Lloyd asked his girlfriend.
"Well, we already thank you for saving Ninjago, but the people want to thank you as well." Harumi said with a smile to her boyfriend. "After all, you did stop your father and saved all of Ninjago."
The Emperor then stepped forward, "This day is a day of celebration! I would personally like to thank our heroes, the Brave Masters of Spinjitzu, for the liberation of Ninjago City and defeating Lord Garmadon," He announced with a hand towards the Ninja who bowed in appreciation, "But that's not the only cause for joy, with every new day that passes we embrace change and growth in our city, and with every new generation a new Leader will be called to rise up and guide us." He continued as he gestured to Lloyd to step forward.
"So please, give your voices, to Master Lloyd Garmadon, Master of Light, defeater of Lord Garmadon and the love of my daughter Princess Harumi and who one day serve as the New Emperor of Ninjago!" The Emperor declared, raising Lloyd's hand up and the crowd erupted into cheers as Lloyd just blushed at the praise while smiling and waving to the crowd.
They saw Seliel, Skylor, Dareth, Misako, and Pixal among the crowd as Nya gestured them to come up to them since they saved Ninjago as well as the four walked up to them as the band started singing.
"~It's time for training and we're getting started. It's on you know.~" The band started singing as Nya gave Jay a side hug as the Lightning Ninja held her with a smile.
Zane caught Pixal in a hug as the Samurai gave him a small smirk. "~And we wanna see you whip and shout it, we rock you roll.~" Kai and Skylor then backed up to each other, which they gave warm smiles as they held each other's hands.
Cole subtly scooted closer to Seliel, whistling casually as the Phantom Ninja just rolled her eyes with a grin before holding up a piece of cake to Cole, which made the Earth Ninja smile at his favorite treat.
Demir and Rose bobbed their heads to the music as Rose gave a cheeky smile and quickly kissed Demir's cheek, surprising him as he turned to Rose, who gave him a wink as Demir held her with a side hug as the two smiled at one another.
Morro and Harumi noticed the Garma-Twins seemed to be lost in thought so they both had a sneaky idea as the two smirked at each other and they slowly approached the two siblings as they then grabbed their respective lovers and caught them in a kiss, which surprised them before they return the gesture for a moment before they separated and the two couples gave their respective lovers warm smiles as they turn back to the crowd as the band continue singing. "~ They say go slow. And everything just stands so still. We say, go, go. We're ready for the fight. We know the drill.~" As the song continued, Wu left the festivities.
At night time, Ninjago City then sent off fireworks while in the Palace everyone was partying out front in the palace and inside it. Lydie and Lloyd decide to break away from the party as they look at the fireworks going off as they climb up the roof where they saw their uncle and the other dragons are when Wu petted Firstbourne. "She has to leave." Lloyd said, a bit surprised.
"This isn't their realm," Wu said as he kept petting Firstbourne. "She'll come back. When it's time."
"He's right, Lloyd. Right now, they need to return home, like how we did when they brought us home." Lydie said as she petted Firstbourne as well, who gave a purr as she and Wu kept petting it.
"Thank you, my friend." Wu said to the Mother Dragon.
"We hope we see you again someday," Lydie said with a smile as Firstbourne gave a purring sound as Lloyd petted her as well with a smile before Lloyd gave a concerned look as he walked up to the edge.
"The First Spinjitzu Master tried to make the perfect realm, and because of our father, there may never be lasting peace." Lloyd said seriously as Lydie and Wu walked up to him.
"Grandfather already knew that peace would be impossible when The Overlord first rose to power," Lydie told him, walking next to her brother, "Wherever there is light that shines, there must be darkness that casts."
"Your sister is correct, Lloyd. Our world isn't perfect." Wu continued. "That doesn't mean we give up on it." He finished as they kept looking at the fireworks.
"Tell me, Uncle, Sister." Lloyd said to Lydie and Wu. "Back in the first realm… did either of you see the Oni?" He asked.
"No. Only Dragons and Dragon Hunters." Lydie said while shaking her head. "But no Oni, not even on their own lands." She said, knowing what Lloyd was thinking.
"It seemed they had abandoned the First Realm long before we arrived." Wu added with a concerned frown. "To where, I do not know. What concerns you, Master Lloyd?" He asked as Lloyd stepped forward to the edge.
"If our father is right, I think they are coming." Lloyd said seriously, which was shared by Wu and Lydie, as they have a feeling that what Garmadon said to them is true:
Then the Oni are coming.
