New Ninjago City was in panic after seeing Lord Garmadon defeated his son. Everyone was scared for their lives and family. Lloyd was taken to a tea shop where he was still unconscious.
"Oh. I c—There's—He's too-He's too much. I can't—please." Lloyd mumbled.
"Hurry. He's burning up." Jay says.
"You cannot hurry tea. Only have patience to get it right. It is ready." Mistaké says.
"Is it going to make him better?" Cole asked.
"It will heal his wounds, but..." Mistaké says.
"But what?" Nya asked.
Kai groaned. "There's always a "but."
"It comes with a price." Mistaké says.
"Whatever it is, we will pay it." Zane says.
Mistaké shakes her head. "I will take no coin for this. I speak of a price for you and your friend. Each of you must lay your hand upon him. The tea will focus your Elemental Powers to save him. But it may use up all the power you have left."
"Are you telling me to save him, we could lose our power?" Jay asked.
Mistaké shrugged. "Perhaps. Perhaps not."
Nya nodded. "Do it."
"Wait! You don't just jump into decisions like this. I mean—" Kai quickly said.
"You're just worried about yourself." Cole accused.
"Maybe I am. But you saw how powerful Lord Garmadon was. Without our Elemental Powers, what chance do we have?" Kai asked, trying to prove his point. This Lord Garmadon... was WAY different and more powerful than the other Garmadon that Lloyd faced.
"The decision needs to be unanimous. I will give up my power to save Lloyd." Zane says, putting his hand on Lloyd.
Jay piped in, putting his hand onto his friend's body. "Me too."
"It's not even a choice." Cole added, putting his hand on top of Lloyd.
Nya doesn't say anything but puts her hand on top of Lloyd. Kai looks at them before doing the same. Mistaké gives him the tea and they watch as colors formed around Lloyd before disappearing and the Green Ninja went unconscious still.
"Now we wait." Mistaké says.
After several hours of waiting, Kai sees he still has his Fire.
"So at least we have our powers." Nya says.
"Yeah. But is it enough?" Kai says.
"It always is." Nya says.
"But what if it's not?" Kai asks.
"Ninja never quit." Nya reminded.
"Ninja don't last forever." Kai says.
"Whatever happens, we fight on." Nya says.
Jay looks to Mistaké, who is humming. "Ugh. What possibly could be so important that you have to do that now?"
"Just a little something—to go." Mistaké laughs before coming out with a bag of tea and gives it to Jay.
"What is this, takeout?" Cole asked.
Mistaké gave Jay the bag, "For your time of need. Remember to go."
Jay nervously laughs. "To go."
"To go." Mistaké says again.
The shop rumbles. They go outside and see everyone running. Kai stops someone.
"What is it? What happened?" He asked.
"If you see it, run!" The man says before running away as a building falls.
"What could do that?" Jay asked.
"A giant made out of rock and Garmadon's power," Mintayla muttered.
"Only a being of great size." Zane says.
They see another building fall.
"Come on!" Kai said.
"What about Lloyd?" Poppy asked.
"Looks like it's just us." Cole says.
P.I.X.A.L. flies in on her mech. "Don't forget me."
"You guys go. Poppy and me will keep watch over him." Nya says, knowing two things. One, Lloyd's gonna need all the support he can get. Two, he's gonna want to see Poppy again.
The Ninja go and see Colossus while Nya and Poppy stay with Lloyd.

Lloyd wakes up.
"Father!" Lloyd shouted, sitting up from where he laid.
Mistaké entered the room with Nya and Poppy. "It actually worked! Eh. That's a first."
"Lloyd, what is it?" Nya asked.
Lloyd explained. "I had a dream o-of a giant, and my father. He's looking for Wu."
Mistaké shook her head. "That is no dream. That is a vision."
"Do you still have your power?" Nya asked.
Lloyd tried to use his element, which was energy but it didn't work.
"I don't understand. I-I can't. Why can't I?" Lloyd asked.
"You're alive. That's all you need to know." Poppy said.
"You need to get to the child before it's too late." Mistaké said.
"But without my power, I'm...I'm not the Green Ninja." Lloyd says.
Poppy shook her head, "That's not true, Lloyd."
"My father's still out there. I can't...I can't defeat him." Lloyd continued.
"We need to fight on." Nya says.
The shop rumbles again.
"Do you have any strength left?" Nya says.
He gets up, but needs Poppy's help to walk. The three were about to leave but Mistaké stopped them.
"Wait! Here. Take this with you." She said, giving him a bag. "You may not have power, but that was never what made you powerful. It was knowing what to do, and when to do it."
"We need to hurry. They're not far." Nya says.
The three of them then start to leave.
"Now go, Ninja, go! The end is not the end, but only a new beginning!" Mistaké yells out.

Baby Wu and Misako watch the rainfall.
"My brother is coming." Baby Wu said.
"How do you know?" Misako asked.
"I know." Baby Wu said.
Misako picked him up. "Come on. We have to go."
They leave the apartment and Baby Wu screams when they see Garmadon.
"What has happened to you?" Misako asked, holding Baby Wu close.
Garmadon attacks but Nya, Poppy, and Lloyd arrive to save them.
"Lloyd!" Baby Wu says.
"Go, Lloyd! Get him outta here!" Poppy took Baby Wu and placed him into Lloyd's arms.
"We can hold him back." Misako says.
Lloyd hesitated but Poppy nodded at him, telling him to go. Lloyd nodded and with his baby uncle in his arms, he quickly left so his father wouldn't get Baby Wu. He made it to the roof and Harumi jumped down, blocking his way.
"Running will do you no good. Give us the child." Harumi said.
"Is this what you want? To destroy the city, create more victims? Just think how many others will be made like you. This isn't what you want." Lloyd said.
"Oh, no. This is just the beginning." Harumi said.
She wears the Oni Mask of Hatred as Lloyd runs off with his uncle in his arms but Harumi easily catches up to him. Lloyd tries to fight back with his Energy but remembers it's gone.
"Where are your powers, Lloyd, as your city falls?" Harumi asked. "The Sons of Garmadon could always use one more. Join us."
"Yeah, that never works." Lloyd says as he jumps onto a tram. "I have Wu. Can any of you hear me? Where is everyone?"
"We hear you loud and clear!" Kai says, as they arrive on the Bounty with Zane driving.
"Jump!" Cole says.
"It's too far!" Lloyd says.
"Get us closer!" Jay told Zane.
"She's as close as I can get her!" Zane says, moving the Bounty of the way from hitting a building.
"Careful!" Kai warns.
"Are you actually doubting my ability to closely approximate the true value of our surroundings? I'm a Nindroid." Zane says.
Harumi jumps onto the train in front of Lloyd. "Give me the child. The Emperor wants his brother."
"Lloyd, jump! You can make it!" Kai says.
Lloyd jumps but Harumi grabs him. He throws Baby Wu to them.
"Catch him!" Lloyd says, making Cole's and Jasmine's eyes widen.
"What? No!" Cole and Jasmine said.
Everyone reaches for him and Jasmine catches Baby Wu. Zane steers away from them to avoid crashing into a building.
"We have to go back." Kai says.
"I'll circle around." Zane says. He drives the Bounty around only for Colossus to grab it.
"You shouldn't have done that." Harumi said, forcing Lloyd to watch.
Colossus starts to crumble the Bounty.
"No!" Lloyd shouts, watching his friends in danger.
"This is the end, Lloyd. Watch to see how you lose it all." Harumi tells him.
"Hands off, you big oaf! We just had her repaired!" Jay says.
"What do we do?" Kai says.
"I don't know!" Cole says.
"I can't break free from its hold!" Zane says.
"We have to go!" Baby Wu says from Jasmine's arms.
"What do you think we're trying to do?" Mintayla asked.
"We have to go!" Baby Wu says, trying to get them to remember.
"To go. "For when your time of need, tea to go." Jay gasps as he pulls out the bag Mistaké gave him. "I think this is why she gave us this!"
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Kai asked.
Jay opens the bag and purplish fog comes out with yellow stars as it surrounds them, starting to bring them somewhere else.
"Go!" Baby Wu says.
"Go where?" Cole asked.
"I feel funny." Jay says.
"What's happening?" Kai says.
The Colossus finished off the Bounty, making Lloyd's green eyes widen.
"NO!" Lloyd yells.
"This. This is what I wanted. To see your father's return, and for you to lose everything. How does it feel to see the end?" Harumi says, dropping Lloyd onto the train as he lands onto his knees, looking down in sadness.
Lloyd stares at the ground in sadness for a bit before he wipes his eyes and stands up, glaring at Harumi. "No. I won't let it do to me what it did to you. This isn't the end, Harumi. This is just the beginning. Without my power, without my friends, I'm gonna fight you. I'm gonna fight on. Because a Ninja never quits."
Harumi takes out a knife. "Well then, goodbye, Lloyd."
"Before I go, just answer me this: you said the greatest villain was the one who got away. Then what am I?" Lloyd smirks as he dodges Harumi's attack and jumps off and activates the parachute Mistaké gave him, landing onto the small boat that Nya, Poppy, and Misako were on as they caught him.
"Ninjago is mine!" Lord Garmadon smirks.
*
They wake up and realize they are taken somewhere else.
"Traveler's Tea." Zane says.
"Looks like we're no longer in Ninjago." Jasmine says.
"Then where are we?" Jay asked.
Dragons then fly by the group.
"Back where it all began. The Realm of Oni and Dragons." Mintayla says.
