[soft solemn music]
[hushed chatter]
Master Wu! Master Wu!
Yes? What is it?
It's the ninja! They're back!
And they have, um, You-know-who-with them!
[soft solemn music]
Nya! Lloyd!
Master Wu!
It's good to see all of you!
You too, Master.
I just wish we had better news.
Yeah, doesn't look like we can count on any help.
We are not without allies.
Ronin?
It's a long story. Come inside.
I have something to show you.
This is the final prophecy of Quanish the Elder.
Quanish? Quanish was a fool.
Hopefully not entirely.
For he prophesied that one day the defenders of Ninjago
would achieve a higher form of Elemental Energy,
something he called "Dragon-Form,"
which they would use in the final conflict
against evil.
Dragon-Form sounds cool.
Did he say how this "Dragon-Form" is achieved?
Unfortunately, no.
[scoffs] Typical Quanish.
Leave out the most important part.
But these images offer clues.
The first shows someone leaping upwards.
The second, kicking backwards,
then turning, and rotating quickly.
Lemme get this straight.
To assume Dragon-Form, we have to jump up,
kick back, whip around and spin?
[determined action music]
[ninja grunting]
[disappointed tune]
Anyone feel... dragony?
[monsters growling]
Come, Pythor. And Join us.
Take your place on my council.
[clears throat] As you command, my Lord.
As I command?
Hmm...
I commanded you to bring back the ninja.
Yet you have all returned empty-handed!
Actually, I was saying "as you command"
in response to you saying, "join us,"
so, in that respect, technically--
-Silence! -[whimpers]
I gave you everything!
New powers, weapons, an army of crystal warriors!
But you fail me at every turn!
[Harumi] My Lord.
Mister F intercepted a radio transmission from the ninja. Play it back.
[Cole] Kai and I are with Skylor and Master Wu.
We're holed up with a bunch of people at the--
[Master Wu] Careful, Cole.
Our radio signal could be intercepted.
[Cole] In a place where "the News Never Sleeps."
They're trying to conceal their location.
But I know where they are.
A newspaper delivery warehouse near the harbor.
It would appear the ninja are all there.
Hmm. You have done well, Harumi.
Dispatch my army.
Launch the Dragonides.
Find this warehouse and destroy it.
But not the ninja.
Leave them for me.
[ominous music]
[beeping]
[gasps] Oh, no!
[monsters growling]
[marching stomps]
Master Wu, I hate to say it, but I don't feel anything.
I feel nauseous.
Maybe you were right about this Quanish guy.
Huh?
Hey! Check it out!
You fold it...
Master Wu?
It's the Old Tongue!
"Only if the allies unite through a selfless act
will main and might prevail the light...
and dragon take flight."
What does that mean?
Hmm. "Main and might"?
Main, a noun, meaning force or strength.
[Borg] Come in! Can anyone hear me?
[Pixal] Professor Borg?
Pixal, oh thank goodness!
The Crystal Island is heading your way!
The Overlord knows your location!
-How? -[Borg] I don't know,
but he's moving his entire army into position!
We have to get these people out of here!
How? The streets are crawling with those crystal creatures!
Well, we gotta figure out a way!
But our powers are useless
against the Overlord and his army.
Yours perhaps. But not mine.
While he's attacking you,
I will attack the Overlord from behind.
Alone, even you, are no match for the Overlord.
He won't be alone.
I'm going with him.
You have not yet mastered your Oni form.
You would be of little help.
I defeated the Overlord once before,
without any Oni form, remember?
Well, I'm coming too!
Yeah, don't think we're staying behind!
[Master Wu] I'm afraid you must.
For this to succeed,
the Overlord's attention must be focused on this warehouse.
We must draw his eye
while Lloyd and Garmadon strike from behind.
Defending this warehouse will be challenging.
Yes... but not impossible.
[Master Wu] First, Cole will secure
the alley behind the warehouse.
Then, Kai will seal the loading dock doors.
That will force the Overlord's army
to attack us from the front.
So we station Ronin and his gang here,
in their mechs,
minus one,
which Lloyd will need.
[momentous music]
I rerouted power to the shielding.
It should withstand the effect of the Crystal Island.
Assuming my calculations are correct.
I'm sure they are. Thanks, Pixal.
[Pixal] Good luck, Lloyd.
Hmm. She didn't wish me luck.
Well, maybe, she's just not used to you being on our team.
It's not that.
She doesn't trust me.
Can you blame her?
Aren't you gonna transform?
Do you trust me?
The world is about to end.
We're about to confront the Overlord himself.
And you're asking me this? Now?
You're stalling.
I'm not stalling, I'm trying to get us moving!
Then answer the question.
[groans] Fine! Yes, okay?
I... I think I trust you.
You think? Or you know?
I think I know.
You think you know? Or you know you think?
Because those are two very different--
[Lloyd] Holy Moly!
Can we please, for the sake of all Ninjago,
discuss this after we defeat the Overlord?
[blasting]
[Garmadon groaning]
[squeaking]
How can they not trust me?
[crashing]
[ominous music]
[crashing]
-[monsters growling] -[ominous music]
Uh... What are they waiting for?
Maybe someone should try to communicate with them?
[clears throat]
I think I speak for everyone here
when I say that violence is not the answer,
and I bet, if we talk this out,
we'll see we're not so different.
Sure, maybe you're all made of stone
and were brought to life by the forces of evil,
but that doesn't mean all of you are evil, right?
So what'dya say?
Why don't we all calm down and just go home?
[growling]
Thanks for nothing, Jay.
[squawking]
[roaring]
[all] Ninja-go!
[thunder rumbling]
The battle has begun.
Good. Inform me when it's-- [groans]
[Harumi gasps]
Harumi. You look surprised.
[rumbling]
[crashing]
You started without me!
Garmadon!
You have chosen to fight with the ninja?
Yes. That's why I just attacked you.
Then, perish with them!
[power surging]
